BITING THE HAND THAT FED
THEM.

The latest candidate for ingratitude
is the Yakima Republic. Speaking of
the Big Palouse project which was
turned down by Secretary Hitchcock.
with the coLnivance of Congressman
Jones, The Republic says that Senator
Ankeny labored hard and faithfully for
it, but could not cut the mustard The
influence of the congressman pre-
vailed"
All of which means that Jones built
up his own county at the expense of
the Palouse county. The broad and lib
eral attitude OF Senator Ankeny ap-
pears in the fact that he worked just
as hard for the Palouse ditch, and gave
TO the people OF Yakima the support
that finally made irrigation in that
county an accomplished fact.
If any county III the state ought to
be grateful to Senator Ankeny, that
county is Yakima. He not only gave it
irrigation but he waived Walla Wal
las claim TO public building in order
that the interests of North Yakima
might be advanced. The Republic
in attempting TO tear down a tried and

bit its benefactor.
Very likely The Republics statement
may do for Yakima county, but il
won't Go in the Palouse country. where
the people know very we'll what in
fluence, AT a critical time, blocked a
PROJECT that would have benefited the
entire state. Yakima has profited at
the expense of the Paiouse-but va

\ CHRISTIAN MEDITATION.

The question whether Santa Claus
exists or not is irrelevant, immaterial
ana incompetent. Far more germane to
the issue is the inquiry as to his al
legged Partially. We may assert that
Santa Claus exists with entire safety.
The worst that anybody can. say to the
contrary is that they personally have
never seen him. What if they have not :?
Perhaps somebody else has. This trick
of trying TO prove that somebody does
not exist by saying that he has never
been seen is a little ragged and
threadbare. A good many being whose
existence is certain have never been
seen with the bodily eye. Who. for ex-
ample ever saw a green horse? But for
all that every horse Oh the planet Jupi-
ter may be sea green We are weary
of such argument The most ardent
skeptic in the world may be reused
from his cynical slumbers on Christ
mas morning with Santa Claus in the
flesh before his very eyes.
But now let us address ourselves TO
the main inquiry. Is Santa Claus i'm
partial? Here we need not rely on a
i
solid. positive facts to sustain a YER
Dict whichever way the cat may jump.
To come to the point. does the gray
haired old peripatetic treat everybody
alike. or has he special favorites upon
whom he lavishes an unfair proportion
ot the good things he has to bestow?
What rule or principle does he follow
in making his benefactions? If a per-
son needs much. does Santa Claus give
him much? Is not the rule exactly the
an octopus gets a roomful of gifts from
the sycophantic Santa Claus. while the
gaunt child of the slums has to take
the leavings. If he gets a crumb after
the rich mans child has been stuffed
to replatior,, he may thank his stars.
Shall We call an old person who
acts like this a saint? Santa" means
saint The necessary inference is that
he has no right to his name. An in
dividual who goes by a name that
does rot belong to him is a fraud. A
fraud is a kind of falsehood. A false
hood is something contrary to fact
Thus almost involuntarily we are
driven to the conclusion that Santa
Claus is contrary TO fact. In other
= words, he is in the class with Mrs.
Harris. He does not exist. The task of
reconciling this conclusion with our
former one that he does exist is left 10

WANTS LABOR HOLIDAYS.
Secretary of Industrial Workers Local.
Appeals to Governor.

]. d. Smith, secretary of Local
Union No. go, Industrial Workers OF
the World. said yesterday that he be-
ilieves about 5000 men who i've at Port
land lodging houses are out of work,
besides those who have homes ana
have lest their jobs. He said yesterday
he had made the rounds of the cheap
lodging houses ard found about 4oo
idle men at the New House, 200 idle al
the Everett house, $50 at the Western
lodging house, and a large number at
the New Western, the Globe, the New
Eastern Rheinpfalz, Union and Column
bia. Mr.. Smiths predictions of the fu-
ture were pessimistic. He said in jok-
ing way yesterday:
Il believe we will have labor holidays
in a few days. as / have petitioned the
governor Then the laborers won't
have to pay for their food and lodging
until times get better and they can
work again. We have issued two thou
sand labor certificates, ten thousand
dollars, in the effort to tide the work
men over the hard winter. They are
secured by labor power, which is just
as good as wheat. But the bankers DO
not seem to think so, for they refuse
them.
In my letter to Governor Chamber
lain / asked for protection from the
landlord in the form of labor holidays;
We are having them in fact anyway,
and told him he would make a good
running mate for Bryan. L enclosed
five dollar labor certificate, and told
him if he lacked campaign funds to
cali on us, for add communications of
this character would be treated con-
fidentialiy.
1.-The labor market is in the same pre-
dicanent as the banks were-we can't
realize Oh our security Our labor pow
er is our only means of living. If the
laboring men are to be kept from be-
ing driven off the face of the earth,
it Will be necessary to have the shops
owned and managed comparatively by
the men who are putting their lives into
the various industries.
THE working man receives at best
only II cents for every dollar he pro-
duces, and with this must buy back
little of the SO cents worth held by
the man with the money. When the
working man can't get the II cents he
can't purchase so much, the demand
falls off, the capitalist can't sell his
goods, he shuts up his, factory and iI.
the whole transaction the poor labor
ing man suffers severely. The employ
ment Offices are doing very little for
him at present.
ION the heels Of this financial strin-
gency property values here are bound
TO drop. / was just thinking of stick
ir.g up a notice on the door here, telling
the landlord we were going to cut his
rent. That is the way we are treated
by the employers. Some of the rents
have begun to drop already. A month
ago we were offered the use of a hall
in the North End for two hundred and
fifty dollars We can get it today for
two red."-Sunday Oregonian.

About 40 cents a plate.
Continuing on the Christmas dinner
|topic. the Walla Walia housewife will
find the markets we'll supplied. Fruits
such as they are at this period OF the
gear are plent iful. Grapes are still
shown in the market. but peaches are
Ia luxury which but few can afford. The
large size of oranges are high because
of their scarcity, but small fruit is
plentiful.
The season for oranges is getting
earlier every year, so by the time that
Christmas rolls around the fruit is
we'll matured, and is sweeter than it
fused TO be in the days Of loLg ago. Even
la few years ago il was no common
thing for Christmas to come around
without any oranges on the market.
IOf late years orange growers have
Imade a study of getting as early and
las late as possible in order to get the
thigh prices that rule at the start and
at the close of the season.

Remarkable Resemblance,

The resemblance between Charles 3.
Hanford and William Jennings Bryan
has often been noticed. Each is of the
oratorical type. On one occasion, when
Mr. Hanford was playing Marc Antony
before an enthusiastic audience of Bry-
an men, there came an interruption
from the gallery from someone who
had evidently developed a state of con-
vial confusion. You're all right was
the exclamation. It's a great speech
But how about free silver"

Ethel Barrymore in such a role as she
