new CONVERT TO
COMMON SENSE


In announcing the reduction of
the number of its pages from eigh'
to four, and of subscription price
to 25 cents per month, the Walla
Walla Statesman says:
I'm the new form Ths Statesman
is going to be the ideal newspaper
for busy people. 1t will have all
the new condensed in an attractive
readable form. In this busy age
this is how the majority of readers
prefer to have their news. 1t is
proposed to give them the news the
way they want it.
This step has been taken after a
long and careful study of the field
the wants of readers and the needs
of the advertisers.
''In the past a great deal of I'M
necessary matter has been printed
in the Walla Walla newspapers in
order to fill up space-a space ala
too large for the demands of local
news. This has caused an extra
expense in typesetting and editorial
equipment and necessitated the
continuance Of a policy which the
management believes has placed
an unwarranted burden upon sub
scribers through maintaining a
higher price for subscriptions. In
other words, patrons have paid too
much TO stories which are only of a
general interest to those who have
the time OF devote an hour or so
to haphazard reading.
For this reason readers are ask
ed to carefully scrutinize the col
lumns of The Statesman in the fu-
ture. Compare 1t with the other
papers In Walla Walla and decide
whether you are not getting your
moneys worth of real news at %
cents month, rather than paying
so or IS cents for lot Of reprinted
or boiled over rubbish which be-
longs more to the big Sunday
dailies and magazines instead of to
local newspaper"
This is the newspaper gospel The
Press, as the pioneer penny paper
of the Inland Empire, has been
preaching and exemplifying to the
best of its ability. 1t is the gospel
of concise. aggressive newspaper
production to meet the need of this
busy age.

SENATOR BEVERIDGE'S

From the beginning woman has per-
sonifed the worlds ideals. When
history began its record it found her
already the chosen bride of art. The
things that minister to mankind's good
have, from the very first, by the gener-
al Judgment, been made feminine-the
ships that bear us through storm to
port; the seasons that bring variety,
surcease of toll and life's renewal; the
earth itself, which, through all time
and in all speech, has been the univer-
sal mother. The Graces were women,
and the Muses., too. Always her infu-
ence has glorifed the world, until her
beatitude becomes divine in Mary,
Mother of God.
Mark how the noblest conceptions OF
the human mind have always been pre-
sented in the form of woman. Take
Liberty: take Justice; take all the holy
aspirations, all the sacred realities
Each glorious ideal has, to the COM
mon thought, been feminine. The
sculptors of the olden time made every
immortal idea a daughter of the gods.
Even Wisdom was a woman in the

ROB BANK AT BINGHAM LAKE
Burglars Make Early Morning
Haul With Aid of Explosives.
Over 1000 Secured as Booty, but
Part of it is Recovered.
Thieves Arrested at St. James
Through Aid of Conductor
Weber.

The Mankato Free Press of Satur-
day tells of how in the early hours OF
the morning burglars cracked the safe
of the First State Bank of Bingham
Lake, relieving the strong box of
somewhere between 81, 200 and So, 500.
After placing between 5000 and 1000
in their grip, the thieves boarded a
train for Mankato and evidently felt
satisfied that they had 'sturned the
trick" without attracting any atten-
ton. In this, however, they were mis-
taken. ...-
When the burglars first reached
Bingham Lake is was quite late in the
evening. They first went to black
smith shop to secure drills and crow
bars and then, shortly after 1:3O
o'clock, they entered the bank build
ing through side window. The outer
door of the vault was forced open by

combination. The inner chest was
wrecked by an explosion of nitro

He went out onto the street and from
behind threshing engine watched the
operations of the robbers. Not dar-

wisdom of sounding an alarm he went
quietly to the home of the bank presi-
dent and informed him of what had
taken place. The president immedi-
ately went to the depot and instructed
the operator to note carefully the
movements of all persons who might
attempt to board the outgoing trains.
A little later a stranger entered the
depot and purchased ticket for Man
kato. The Omaha trains from the
north and south meet at Bingham Lake
and the operator noticed that the sus-
picious looking stranger boarded the
north bound train. A second stranger
boarded the train going south, but left
it just as it pulled out of the station
and hastily jumped onto the train for
the north and held a brief conversa-
ton with the party who had purchased
the ticket for Mankato. The operator
noticed all this and quietly informed

BURIED BY LESUEUR'S men
Fifteen Human Skeletons unearth-
ed in South Bend Township.
Thought to be Remains of Sioux
Indians Buried there in 1902.
Whites From Fl. LeHuillier Re.
sponsible for the Interment.

While excavating for gravel in q
mound on the farm of Arthur Mitchell
in South Bend township last Wednes-
day, workmen unearthed the bones Of
fifteen human skeletons. The skele-
tons were complete in every partlcu-
lar with the exception that the skulls
were missing.
Owing to the condition of the bones
and the peculiar manner of burial, the
Mankato Review says there is much
speculation as to how they came to be
there and whether or not they are the
skeletons OF white men or of Indians.
Thomas Hughes, than whom per-
haps no one in Mankato is better
versed in Indian history, believes that
the bones are the bones of Indians
who were buried by white men. His
reason for this belief is the fact that
Indians do not as a rule bury their
dead underground and had no utensils
for doing SO. Mr.. Hughes also adj
vances the interesting theory that the
Indians were the victims of an attack
from ambush, and that the killing oc-
Cured during the explorations of the
French in this territory in 1701 or
1902. It can be supposed that the Kill
ling was done by band of Sacs or
Foxes from Wisconsin, which tribes
were allies of the French and also bit
ter enemies of the Sioux.
LIE Sueur established Fort LeHuil-
lier some time in the period referred
to and after making his explorations
he returned to the south, leaving a
company of twelve men in charge Of
the fort, promising to send them sup.
plies as soon as he could.
In Penicault's account of the French
occupation of this territory he refers
to frequent incursions of war parties
from Wisconsin. Mr.. Hughes thinks
that one of these parties lay in am
bush on the trail, and attacked and
killed party of Sioux braves at the
spot where these bones were found
that possibly some of the Sioux es-
capped or the news was carried to For,
LeHuillier by the attacking party. The
occupants of the fort, having the
necessary utensils and humane incli.
nations, sent out party who dug the
graves and buried the dead Sioux.
The supplies promised by LIE Sueur
not arriving the party left in charge
