The greatness of city is often
measured by the number of people re-
siding within its corporate limits; but
the number of people residing in its
corporate limits is determined by the
number OF peop1e who come to the city

In great speech, great orator once
said: Burn down your cities and leave
your farms and your cities will spring
I'D again as if by magic; but destroy
your farms and the grass will grow in
the streets of every city in the coun-
try"
No one disputes the truth Of this
assertion, and no one with the pro-
verbal grain Of sense believes that the
prosperity of the surrounding coun-
try is not the prosperity of Walla
Walla.
The Statesman will not quarrel with
those who are unable to see beyond the
end Of their noses. It pities them, and
hopes that their eyesight may some
day be improved.
And it hopes they are sincere in their
attempts to boost Walla Walla. because

the loyal support OF It's inhabitants.

the crime of knocking" The Statesman
S glad to be known as a knocker.

Especially clever is the act of Tony
Johnson and his trained dogs. They

TAFT, THE OFFICE HOLDER.

Few politicians have been SO uniform
| ly successful in continuous occu-
pancy Of public Office as has William
Howard Taft, of Ohio.
! 1t is interesting to note that in the
summary of the career of Mr.. Taft
published in today's Statesman, the
Ohioan has been an occupant Of a pub
| lie Office during practically his entire
| lifetime. To be exact it appears that
he spent one year as newspaper re-
porter Immediately after his graduation
| from law school and that he spent an
other year engaged in the practice of
law in his home city. Aside from this
he has drawn a salary during all the
years of his active life.
His first political job was that of as
sistant prosecuting attorney which he
assumed in 1882 and which he left the
following year to becoma a collector of
internal revenue. In 1884 he engaged in
the practice Of law for one year, leav-
ing his private practice in 1885 to be-
come an assistant county solicitor.
Two years later he was elected judge
Of the supreme court, this, by the way,
being the only time that he ever held
public office by virtue of the peoples
vote.
In 1890 President Harrison appointed
him solicitor general of the United
States and in 1892 in the closing days
of Mr.. Harrison's administration, when
held was soon to go to a democrat,
the successful Ohio politician was APP
cult court.
He left the bench in 1900 to become
Philippine commission, by virtue OF the
grace of President Mckinley, and the
title to this office was later changed to
that Of evil governor of the Philippine
Islands. After four years service in
the Philippines, President Roosevelt
vailed Mr.. Taft to Washington and
made him secretary of war, which Of
flee he has since held.
Secretary Taft has announced that
if nominated at Chicago he will resign
the war portfolio in order to devote his
full time to the campaign. If he does
resign. the months soon to come will
be the first in the last "a years in
hch Mr.. Taft has not drawn a regu-
lar salary from the government.

cloth.
To peel a large quantity Of onions

To remove the odor of fish or onions
from pans, wash in good suds, then
place pan inverted over flame Of gas

minutes.
When gilt frames or molding OF
| rooms have specks of dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be clearsed with white of egg applied
with camel-hair brush.
Pouring hot fruit into glass dishes is
likely to result in breaking the latter.
To prevent this. stand the glass dish
on a cloth wet with hot water and
then pour the fruit into it,
To clean white felt hats, rub small
quantity of powdered magnesia into
the felt. Let it remain for about an
hour. then brush it out with q clean
brush. II the hat is much soiled it
may pc necessary to apply magnesia
more than once.
1t is well when canning or preserv-
ing to put the rubbers for the jars on
the stove in q pan Of water. After the
water has once boiled keep it just be-
low The boiling point This rule being
followed, the rubbers are sure to be
free from germs when put on the jars.
If glass dishes, tumblers and other
articles of that sort are put into q ket-
tie, covered entirely with cold water
and allowed t. heat gradually, and
finally boil quickly for a short time,
they will be found to have acquired a
cert@n toughness during the operation
and will be much harder to break.
To take the bruises out of furniture
wet the part with warm water. Fold
a piece of brown paper five or six times,
soak it and then lay the pad thus
formed on the bruised wood. Apply a
hot iron to the wet paper and let it re-
main till the moisture has evaporated
After two or three applications the dent
OF bruise will disappear. the wood once
more having a smooth surface.
Instead OF using vanilla to flavor cup
custards, boil half a dozen peach ker-
neis in the milk. This, makes a pleas
ant variety from the ordinary winter
flavorings. If sherry is used in the
custard, add it after taking from the
stove. Otherwise it will curdlc. Put
it in very slowly. A few raisins or
currants stirred into custards make q
change that is much appreciated by
young people.

To Clean Spoons.

Careful women have in some cases
had their silver egg spoons dipped in
gold so that the stains from eggs will
not have to be fought against
They do not realize that a single ao-
plication Of fine table salt on q wet
cloth will take off any stain and leave
the silver entirely bright. After this it
should be washed in warm water and
pure soap.
Many women leave silver spoons in
preserves from one meal to another,
remarking that the articles are silver
and the fruit acid will not ruin them.
But do they stop to think what the
silver will do to the fruit? 1t poisons
it, even though the spoon is silver.
There is a chemical process between
the fruit acid and metal which makes
the fruit unfit for use. This is even
more so where genuine silver is not
used. Lard will turn spoon green in
a few days in hot weather, vet often a
silver spoon will be left in the lard can.

Hints for the Hostess

Round tables are decidedly on the wane.
and long tables covered with 1-drGwn
hren covers are now esteemed most
correct.
Filet. edged with cluny. is the favored
combination for fine table linens. The
stitching.
poilies for the uncovered tables have
netted edges in preference to lace.
BonhOns. nuts and olives are now
passed by the waitress instead of being
placed on the table.
Place plates, to be in the latest form,
are of plain white china or white show
irg the faintcst of tracery designs.
Rolls are served only with the soup.
Toasted biscuit and relishes with the
oysters.
The napkin is laid beside the place
plate, but there is no roll within it these
days.
Candelabra in the center of the table
are again favored. A wre:lh OF flowers
standing upright around the base of the
candelabra makes a pretty center.
Yen may use your Judgment as to
shaded or unshaded candles at formal
affairs. Beaded shades are still good.
