READY
FOR BIG Mill

One of the events of the holiday sea-
son that is attracting more than pass
ing interest is the boxing match to be
pulled off in the Keylor Grand theatre
Saturday evening between Ralph Sulli-
van, of the Fourteenth cavalry, and
Jimmie Barry, of Chicago. who will
enter for a 10round mill. In addi-
ton to the big match of the evening,
there will be four preliminaries- Of four
rounds each between local men. and
lovers of the sport are looking for
ward with pleasure to the program
Barry IS a well-knOwn character in
sporting circles, and Sullivan has prov
en- his proves with the gloves, though
he has not won a reputation such as
has Barry. Friends of the soldier boy,
however, are backing his heavily to
show the Chicagoan a few wrinkles,
and the bout promises to be a most
spectacular one.

TAFT'S INAUGURATION.

Mr.. Roosevelt gave startling eX-
hibitiOn of mOnarchial tendencies when
he decided that Mr.. Taft should sue
coed to the Washington throne and
then used the great power of the fed
eral government to carry out his ed.ct.
He therefore may be justified in the
praT aratiOnS he is making to put his
successor in office. His dictatorial poll
icy at the Chicago convention has been
approved by the people and his impe-
rial inaugural program should be ac-
cepted as a matter Of course. 1t is to
be the most expensive inauguration in
the history of this country. Immense
detachments from the army and navy
are to form the great parade. Gold
epaulctteS are to glitter as they never
'glittered before in the nat 'onal CAPT.
tai. 1t is to be distinctly a military af-
fair-and nothing cheap and gaudy at
that. The simplicity attending the in
augurati ton Of Washington, Jeffers on
and Lincoln is to have no place in the
ceremonies attending the induction of
Tat into Office. 1t is to be an inau-
guration of pOmp and splendor calcu-
lated to make the kings of Europe turn
green with envy. The cost of it all is
not to be considered

WHERE SOME OF THE DEFICIT IS
CREATED.

The postOffice officials, who have
charge of the financial end Of that de-
partment are working overtime just
now to discover some way by which
the rapidly and constantly accumulat-
ing deficit in the postal service can be
checked. Possibly if they would turn
their eagle eyes to the abuses of the
general franking privileges enjoyed by
senators and members of congress they
ming find Il few leaks, that if STOPPED
would prevent a portion of the losses
complained of.
When the government attempts to
carry free the thousands of tons of
documents and departmental reports,
all the speeches delivered by senators
or congressman, and in addition hermit
republican committees to stuff franked
envelopes with all kinds of political
rot and nonsense as t did during the
recent campaign, and then paw the
railroads eXorbitant prices for trans
porting this trash, It is not to be won
dered at that the deficiency increa SEES
and that the shortage is becoming
1riShtful
1t is upon the weight basis that rail
roads are paid for carrying the mails
y single department report with its
heavy wrapper, will weigh as much
as a thousand letters paying two cents
each. The report costs just as much
per pound to carry a docs the letter
1t pays nothing. 1t is of little use and
less interest t. the public generally.
The few Libraries that treasure them
enough to give them shelf room. and
the fewer individuals who can interest
themselves in the dry and generally
unreliable details that most of them
contain could easily afford to pay the
thirty-five or forty-cent charges that
express companies would demand for
delivering them.
1t is all right that senators and con-
gressmen should have the right to
frank their letters and all the CORE

"Roh;n Hood"

For the first time in Walla Walla
DeKoven and Smiths comic opera
robin Hood" is to be staged at the
Keylor Grand on Sunday night, De-
cember 81 For more than II years
this peer of all the best American COM
ic operas was the success of the Bos-
tonins, and yet it stands today unri-
vailed by any Of the later musical pro-
auctions. for excellent stage pictures,
beautiful musical numbers and a well
constructed heart interest story, inter
spersed with the choicest refined COM
edy. Wherever robin Hood is an
nounced invariably it means a capa-
city house, for never has any comic
opera held such an endearing place
in the heart of music lovers and the
ater patrons of America
The three scenes of the opera allow
of most picturesque effects in costumes
and stage settings. In the first act the
old town of Nottingham, famous for it's
lace, is shown dressed in holiday garb
in honor of the May day fair. The sec
ond act in Sherwood forest, where
Robin Hood and his band of merry
men hold their revels with "ale skit-
ties and song" The third act returns
to Nottingham, showing the Jail. ST.
Swithen's church and the village forge
Some of the beautiful song numbers
hest remembered in robin Hood are
The AuctiOneer's Song" ''Milkmaid's
Song" "Churning' trio, and jet Black
Crew" Brown October Ale ooh
Promise Me-" and THE Legend of the
Chimes
For an evening of genuine entertain
ment robin Hood" is one opera that
rleases those who like a romantic love
story, those who enjoy a good laugh
as well as those who are musically ed
ucated and delight in classic songs
and catchy airs.

GOMEZ COUP.

From the fragmentary news WHICH
leaks out of Caracas it would appear
that ice-President Gomez, who Is IN
charge of affairs during the absence IN
Europe of Castro, has dismissed the
former cabinet and has selected one
more satisfactory to himself. Whether
this apparent coup detat is for the
purpose of holding the reins hlmse1'
to the permanent exclusion or castro
or whether the course has been 1orced
upon the acting president by the dang
erous condition of affairs in Venezuela,
is the one thing which is uncertain.
1t is known that Venezuela has been
in a condition of constant ferment ever
since the departure Of Castro. Early
in the month there was serious rlotlng
in Caracas, directed against Castro.
The rioters tore down the pictures
and statues of Castro and burned them
in the public places, wrecked ana
burned buildings and were suppressed
with difficulty. Now Gomez has thrown
over the Castro ministry and replaced
it by one more satisfactory to the peo-
pie. He is known to have many sup
porters in the anti-CastrO camp.
On the surface, and as far as can
be determined from the meager re-
ports. it would appear chat Gomez has
decided to run the country himself,
and that he will be extremely unlikely
to turn it over to Castro in the event
that the former dictator should seek
to return from Europe and take up the
direction of government himself. 1t is
quite within the bounds of possibility
that Castro will never return to Vene-
zuela, or that if he should attempt to
do so he might find the country closed
to him.
Whether Gomez will be any improve
ment on Castro, in the matter Of the
dealings of Venezuela with foreign
countries, remains to be seen. 1t also
to be seen whether he can
maintain himself against the threat
ened revolution, the adherents of
which seem to have great strength.
