1t would be interesting to know
why there Is No better IiSriplinc If

From editorial in thc Press and
banner one of whose proprictors is Il
trustee OF Clemson college the fol-
lowing paragraph may explain and
| answer Your question::
Deeply as the board of trustees
ana the faculty regret any disorder.
II Is il well known fact that in mill
'ary organizations, if there is disor-
der, the fault primarily rests with the
r"mmandant. The board of trus-
tees look to the Commandant for or
drr, and any man who has ever been
IN military service knows that the
efficiency of the service is exactly
commensurate with the efficiency of
the commanding officer. If a cam
mandrr is not a consistent discipli-
aarlan, he cannot correct resulting
evils by measure so drastic as TO
sweep out one fourth Of his COM
mand.'
1t would seem from this that the
fault for the diSobedicnce and lack of
discipline, which is admitted by the
Press and Banner. lays entirely at
the door Of Capt. Clay. We do not

DEATH CLAIMS
NOBLE WOMAN
MRS. J.. N. HILL PASSED AWAY AT
HER SUMMER CAMP IN THE
BLUE MOUNTAINS.

Word was received in the city this
afternoon of the death of Mrs. John
M. Hill, one of Walla Walla's oldest
and best known residents, at the Hill
camp in the Blue Mountains this after
noon. of hemorrhage of the brain.
The news of Mrs. Hills death will
cast a gloom over her many friends
in this city She was one of the most
popular women of Walla Walla, and
loved by all who knew her. Her death
was unexpected as Mrs. Hills health
had always been good and the death
comes as a shock to all who knew her.
Mrs. Hill crossed the plains in 1853
with her parents, who settled near
Olympia, where they liver for nine
years and then moved to Walla Walla.
Since that time Walla Walla was her
home.
Deceased is survived by son, COun-
ty Clerk Drsey Hill, daughter, Mrs.
r. E. Bracket, f this city, two sisters
Mrs. Nathan Pierce of Walla Walla
Mrs Fred Morie of Seattle, and six
brothers, Chas. and Ira Berry of Spo-
kane. George Berry, of northern Idaho,
Marion Berry OF Southern Oregon and
Levi Berry of Milton, and a sister-in-
law, Mrs. George T. Berry of this city.

HAVE STATE SHOOT FIRST
r. E. ALLEN WOULD HAVE THE
MEETING IN THIS CITY BE-
FORE SPOKANE EVENT.

That it would be a good plan to
hold the state shoot prior to the in
terstate shoot which will be held at
Spokane about September 9, was sug-
gested by Robera E. Allen, secretary
of the state association today.
Mr.. Alien pointed out that if the
state shoot, which will be held here,
could be pulled off just prior to the
big shoot at Spokane, there would be
a considerably larger attendance here,
as many who will attend the Spokane
shoot could easily arrange to come
here on their way to Spokane ard
take in both shoots who would not
feel like making a special trip for the
state shoot.
The objection offered is that there is
not sufficient time to get out a pro-
gram and arrange for the change of
date. The date now set for the state
shoot is in the latter part of October,
just after the fair.
1t is expected that a large delega-
ton of Walla Wallans will be il. at
tendance at the September shoot to be
held in Spokane.

Blow At Stenooraphers.

dow NJ otSUO9ToPUSVSs
A brute-we use the term advisedly
has invented a mechanical typewrit-
er that he hopes will eliminate the
stenographer. AS most of the stenOg-
raphers are handsome young women
We feel certain the inventor will ex-
perience a lot of trouble in the sale
of his machine.
Those who know something of the
joys Cir, the sense of facilitating CORE
spondence, of course) of debating to
a stenographer of the majority class
just referred to, will hardly permit
her to be displaced by an unrespon-
sive piece of mechanism, at least un-
til he has reached that age when the
red corpuscles turn into mush' ice and
thoughts turn heavily and exclusively
to the piling up of sordid dollars, says
an exchange.
However, the new invention is suf-
ficiently ingenious to entitle it to pass
ing consideration, at least; and de-
scription of it will not be out of place.
Anyway, the wives of many business
men will read about it with feelings
of pleasurable anticipation, because
the new machine is warranted not to
f1irt nor eat ice cream sOdas nor yet
cracked crabs, while a cold bottle
would put it out of commission per-
manently.
1t is reported that this machine
will actually write letters at the rate
Of 1000 words a minute, doing the
work automa tically and correctly. The
machine may be operated in two ways.
If it is desired to make a number of
copies of the same letter with different
names and addresses, it will perform
this work, producing in each case an
original letter in one. two or three
coiors, fill in the name and address
and add the signature. A business
man desiring to dictate, may use this
automatic typewriter by talking his
letters into a device like the phono-
graph, transfer the record to the ma
chine, turn on the electric current ana
go home. The next morning the let
tiers VIII all be done, and the machine
will automatically stop when the letters
are written. 1t will also address en-
velOpes or wrappers and count them
as WELL 1t will write forwards or
backwards and if desired the lines
may be justified like type, which at
the present time is impossible on or
binary typewriters.
In days to come. When the present
young generation is written of as an
clients, this invention may come into
general use; but we can't see no posi-
bility of its becoming a success any
sooner. 1t will probably meet the fate
of the automatic telephone, which has
much more reason to live than has the
new typewriter invention, because over
the wire one can only hear, while over
the letters one can both hear and see.
AS well have eggs without salt as an
office without a live and fairly good
looking stenographer.

USE OF SLANG BY CHILDREN.

In his address before the summer
school of the state college at Pullman
Supt. A. H. Yoder, of the Tacoma pub
lie schools, put in a good word for
slang. THE child" he said, uses
slang. learns it quickly, and rejoices
in its use" and he added that ne ola
not believe it always best ito practice
the little fellow in the mastery of MS
letters to the complete exclusion OF
this freedom of speech"
There can be no question about the
average child's aptitude in picking up
the slangy words and phrases of the
street, and Mr.. Yoder is undoubtedly
right in urging a reasonable amount
of freedom in the use of slang by
children.
AS matter of fact, many sang ex-
pressions supposed to be slang are
not slang at all. Besides, compliers
of dictionaries more and more show a
tendency to recognize words that ARE
undoubtedly "of the street." for pre-
cisely the same reason that they have
recognized certain provincialisms.
Parents and teachers may as well
face the fact that children use, and
will continue to use, current slang. II
is much better to allow its OPEL use,
as Mr.. Yoder suggests, than to force
them to the dishonest habit of using
it in secret.
OF course, they should be taught to
avoid slang words and phrases that
have a vulgar significance. The best
way to guard against the use of these
expressions is to tolerate the free ana
open use of slang The line, in such
circumstances, can be sharply drawn
between decent and indecent slang;
beyond that. parents and teachers need
give themselves no serious concern
says an exchange.
Perhaps Professor Yoder knows, but
we can hardly agree with him. 1t is
true that children, as we'll as men and
women, pick up slang quite readily.
but the average citizen admires pure
English and it would seem that there
are enough words in our language to
express thoughts without resort to
slang.
Many men feel that they cannot
properly express their contempt for
conditions and things without the use
of profanity but that is hardly ar ex-
cuse for its use; their vocabulary
should be enlarged.
Nearly every parent has been as
tonisned and really frightened at
hearing their children innocently use
profanity which they had heard on
the street and it takes no small amount
of energy to teach the little one that
such language is far from desirable.
Children may acquire "the dishonest
habit of using slang in secret" and
they may acquire the same habit with
reference to profanity. To be sure, it
is better than profanity and it requires
proper training to encourage the habit
of using neither. If the same amount
of energy were expended in teaching
the child to absolutely avoid the use
of both slang and profanity, as it
would require to draw the line be-
tween decent and indecent slang, there
would be plenty of slang used and
entirely too much profanity.

M|LLMEN FIGHT
RAILROAD RATES
COMMITTEE OF LUMBERMEN AP.
POINTED TO WAGE WAR ON
INCREASED TARIFF.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 9.-Pacific
tions will make united. fight against
the increase in railroad rates on timber
products. At a conference here yester-
day the Oregon lumbermen agreed to
recommend to their association that a
special committee cooperate with the
two Washington associations and the
fight be directed at Seattle. George
Kellogg, secretary of the California
Redwood association, was here, but
did not take an official part in the
meeting.
Under the plan formed an executive
committee to include C. F. White, of
Seattle, of the Pacific coast Lumber
Manufacturers association; F. c.
Knapp, of Portland, representing the
Oregon lumber interests, and F. B.
Hubbard, of Centralia who heads the
Southwestern Washington Millmen's
commission, will form an executive
board. Each of the interested lumber
organizations will have five places on
general committee.
Whether local attorneys are en-
ployed depends upon the attitude of
the different associations. They may
employ individual counsel if they see
fit, but prominent eastern lawyers will
direct the fight. Headquarters will be
opened in Seattle Immediately, under
direction of the executive committee,
and Victor H. Beckman. secretary of
the Pacific Coast Lumber manufac-
turers' association Six Or eight per-
sons will be on the millmen's payroll
as special office force. An effort will
be made not only to gather evidenok
to support the contention that the
rates are illegal, but also to stir up a
popular prejudice against the railroads.
1t is expected a press bureau will be
organized to enlist newspaper aid in
the millmen's fight.
