different from the so-called musical
plays which have came int vogue
since Polonius droned his intermid-

buoyant idyll and as spicy as an aut-

wholesomeness. 1t is said to be !,
quaint and most artistic piece The
scene in the first act introduces char
acters, which we have been made FAM

scene of the second act, is laid in the
interior of the Palace of Fine Arts,
London, and thus we will witness the
two extremes OF English society life,

and contains several numbers which

Bonnie Brier Bush.

In this age of the dramatized novel
1t was almost a foresone conclusion
that somebody would transfer to the
stage that charming group of stories,
Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush" by
the Rev. John Watson Ian Mac
l-aren), however, it is fortunate for
the lovers of the literary and artistic
that the dramatization founded upon
these sketches is from the clever pen
of James Macarthur, a Scot by birth,
has tenderly preserved the atmosphere
which is deemed one of the CHER
charms of tine Kale-yard stories When
the play was first written few persons
believed that MacLaren's drolleries
could be staged. However, the result
OF MacArthur's dramatization seems
to be high class comedy which also
contains the heart element which has
endeared Ian MacLaren to the reading
public. The Transformation of Lach-
Ian Campbell" is the central theme Of
the play, as of the book, and in COM
menting upon this character, Dorothy
Dix, in the New York Journal, said:
The part is so fine that it transcends
all art and seems nature"

votes for Washburn which were not
cast because the polls were not open.
Many authorities were cited to sub
stantiate his claims. The senate, in
committee Of the whole, took re-
cess until 1890 tomorrow.
Other Routine. -
The Casey bill providing for the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote, and which had passed the
house was reported in the senate.
Senator Young's concurrent resolu-
ton calling upon congress to provide
a constitutional convention for the
purpose of adopting an amendment to
the constitution in reference to the
prohibition of polygamy, was passed.
This is the resolution which was put
to sleep in the house. There were
thirty-nine votes in favor of the reso-
luton in the senate, one senator Na-
Moure) being absent.
A few new bills were introduced,
but the indications now are that the
flood has to some extent subsidized in
the senate so far as the introduction
of measures are concerned, as we'll
as in the house. Those introductions
were:
BY Sifton.-Appropriating $17O,96O
for the state asylum for the insane.
BY Misunderstanding that the wild
rose shall be the adopted flower of
North Dakota.
A few bills passed their final read
ing and are now ready for the other
house. Among them were the follow
ing: Providing that the arraignment
of prisoners on criminal charges, the
accused shall be presented with
copy of the Indictment or information.
Providing that in case of destruc-
ton of county records by fire or other
wise, records of title of official alb
stractors shall be accepted as legal
copies.
The resolution and memorial which
was reported to the senate from the
commercial clubs from a number of
towns in the western part of the state,
met with some objection, not because
it was not true, but because the presen-
tation of the truth from that part of
the state would leave the impression
in the minds of strangers that the
eastern part of the state was in
deplorable condition. The SUPPOSE
ton is that some of the representa-
tives from that part of the state, real
izing the one sided condition of the
report desired time to arrange for in
GLIDING in the resolution the actual
condition of the towns and people in

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-05-04
THEY WANT CLEAN MEN.

For months The Statesman has borne
the burden of q news story which STIR
red I'D a greater sensation in political
and church circles than all of the po-
litical stories printed in years. II mas
been declared political spite, revenge
and everything but what 1t Was-the
fearless report of a fearless news
paper.
Refreshing and encouraging is this
editorial from Central Christian News,
the representative paper of the churcn
element of the city:
1.-The daily papers are saying much
about the coming city election. The
News does not pose as political fac
tor. but we would like to see some good
clean men in office this year, who would
enforce law. Last year our Inaugural
ton speech was made from the SEN
ate Saloon Bar" For our part we
feel sure that for the sake of COM
mon decency and self respect. more
appropriate place should be found this
year
After the remarkable unanimity OF
sentiment expressed by our great union
meeting this winter is it not posslnie
for the church people of the city to Sc
lect some good man to occupy the hon
or of mayor of our city? We need not
be radical in our ideas of reform. We
live under representative form OF
government and should be willing to
give and take. and to have majority
rule. But herein is our contentious; the
ma jority do not rule. We make tie
laws and employ officers to enforce
them and they are put in office under
oath to do 50. Then they arrogate 10
themselves the right to decide when,
and how, and whether the laws shall
be enforced.
1T would be we'll to elect men who
will enforce law impartially, according
to their oaths of office. Then what
ever laws are obnoxious will easily
demand a repeal. Christian people
should think Of these things and real
ize their duty to vote as they pray
