Thaw, acquitted of the murder OF
Stanford White on the ground Of in
sanity, was being closely watched by
Superintendent Lamb, Of the state hos

if he is regarded by the superintendent
as sane, a report to that effect, will be
made to the court If tThaw is believed
by the superintendent, after he has
made his examinations and OBSERVE

a report will be made to the COURT UNI

NO KNOCKING

1t is but natural that the next few
weeks will show a considerable falling
off in business in Walla Walla, and it is
also probably natural that a few
chronic crOakers will take advantage
of this fact to do their accustomed
hammering.
Any sane man knows that this con-
dition of affairs is not abnormal and
that there is no reason for knocking
There isn't a city in the United States
which does not slacken it's pace dur
ing the summer months.
AS a matter of fact, it is an encour-
aging lsign to find that there are
enough people in Walla Walla suffi-
GENTLY prosperous to be able to drop
their affairs for a while to take a trip
to the beach or 20 the mountains to
rest up after their strenuous activity
of the past few months.
They will all come back pretty soon
instilled with new v1gor and new
plans for the future.
Then what will Mr.. Croaker do?

made in the current issue of Golfers
Weekly, Cleveland Moffett has this 10
say of the republican promise for re
vision of the tariff:
IF the court plank was a compro-
mise, the tariff plank was an uncon-
ditional surrender to the reactionaries.
1t promised a revision of the tariff by
q special session of congress immedi-
ately following the Inauguration of the
next president, and laid down the
principle that the duties should equal
the difference between the cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad, together
with a reasonable profit to American
industries OF course, Dalzell, or
Cannon, or the American Protective
Tariff league, could subscribe to that
declaration without a qualm. Duties
equal to the difference in cost of pro-
dutcion alone might mean free trade,
for in many lines the American cost
of production is the lowest in the
world, but the reasonable profit may
cover anything. The pleasing ma
ture of the plank from the protection
list standpoint, is emphasized by the
declaration that there should be max
imum and minimum rates, of which
the minimum should represent the
normal measure of protection a.,
home, and should be high enough,
without excessive duties to preserve
security against foreign competition
No more extravagant homage to pro-
lection was ever embodied in ma
tional platform. Of course, to the
high tariff worshipper, no duty is ever
excessive. Shutting out foreign COM
petition is what he wants, and that
is what this plank promises him. Even
the Dingley tariff lets in some foreign
competition, and it would be perfectly
consistent with this declaration to re-
wise the Dingley rates upward for the
minimum schedule and push the max
im1m limit to the sky. The reaction
airy nature of the tariff program Is
thrown into still stronger relief by it's
surrender TO Mr.. Taft's pet policy or
free trade with the Philippines. The
plank favors a free interchange of
products with such limitations as to
sugar and tobacco as will afford ade-
quate protection to domestic inter-
ests'"

SUNDAY.

That Walla Walla can beat Pendle-

belief of the fans of this city and a
side bet of $500 has been made to this
effect on Sundays game, to be played
in Pendleton.
The Walla Walla team has been
strengthened by the addition of two
strong players from the crack Weiser,
Idaho, team and the nine will be the
best that has ever represented the
Garden City on the diamond
An excursion will be run to a-n-
dleton to see the game, leaving here at
o'clock Sunday morning and re-
turning after the game. The round
trip will be but $1.40 and many nun
dred are expected to go down to root
for the home team.

the two teams will play twilight games
At the conclusion of the series the
Walla Walla and Pendleton teams will
disband.

officers by the people; we elect our prs
ident and vice president by the peo-
LIE. If the electors have no DISCRETION
and no elector would dare to vote con-
trary to the sentiment of those who
elected him-why are the people denied
the right to select senators by direct
one-the United States senate today is
the bulwark of predatory wealth; fav-
or seeking corporations have made it a
depository of their power and they
close the door to reform. Every RENE
dial law must have the sanction of
the senate as we'll as the approval of
the house and the president So long
as the exploiting interests can control
the senate. they can hold the people at
bay, and this is why the republican
convention insOlently thwarted the
purpose of those republicans who
sympathize with the desires of the peo-
pie in their demand for relief from
present conditions. Surely the rank
and file of the republican party will
express their Indignation at this open
and obvious distrust Of the people. The
republican party has added to it's many
sins this objectionable one, that it is
afraid of the people.
What an indictment the voters can
this year!
Afraid Of the truth!
Afraid of the light!
Afraid of the people!
And the party, in convention as
sembled, pleads guilty to the indict-
ment!

THE INJUNCTION.

Out of the maze of ignorance and of
surrounded the discussion of the ques-
ton of the proposed modification of
issuance of injunctions comes the
clear cut urterances of Theodore A.
Bell, of California, in his speech be-
fore the Denver convention today.
Theodore A. Bell lifts the question
to its proper place He shows that
the question is not merely a matter
about which the capitalists ana the
labor unions are quarrelling, He draws
the distinction, so often overlooked IN
the discussion of this question, be-
tween IAN attack on the integrity or
the courts" and the right of the peo-
pie who created the courts to clearly
define their powers.
When he says that "all of our peo-
pie, without respect to station or &C.
cupation in life, have a genuine re-
spect for the courts and desire to
maintain their integrity" he strikes a
responsive chord and when he says
that 1.-The courts are but human insti-
tutions and of human composition,
created by the people, presided over
by men and exercising only such pow
ers as a sovereign people may con-
fer on them and amenable at all times
to such limitations as public policy
may dictate" he brings to the front
a truism which has been overlooked
by many who have sought to discuss
this question.
AS Chairman Bell aptly says:
1T makes no difference whether the
courts are acting in excess of their
jurisdiction or strictly within their
delegated powers: in either case, the
people have right to throw additional
safeguards around human liberty II
they are exceeding their jurisdiction
there should be palmer definition of
their authority. and on the other hano
If they are exercising purely discre-
tionary power the sovereign authority
that has invested them with such
power has never surrendered the right
TO recall or to modify that discretion"
He sounds the keynote of the Ameri-
can idea when he declares that there
must be legislation which will "pre-
vent the writ of Injunction from beino
converted innto an instrument of op-
preston"
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-07-07

form at Chicago. the republican con-
ventiOn proceeded to ratify the White
House choice for the office of presi-
dent To secure the acquiescence Of
the convention the chief executive
was compelled to abandon the most
vital reforms that he has been urging
during the last four years. The war
secretary was either not in sympathy
with these popular reforms himself
or else he and his friends feared that
their presence in the platform would
sacrifice his nomination or his cleo
ton by arraying certain special inter-
ests against him. In either case the
omission of these reforms is to the
diScredit Of the nominee, for if he fav-
Ored an income tax, a collateral inner
itance tax, law requiring the publ
cation campaign subscriptions, the
hpysical or actual valuation of the
railroad properties in the supervision
of fares and freights and the issuance
of railroad stocks and bonds; or if ne
were against the reckless expenditure
of public moneys amounting to over
congress, or if he, like his illustrious
mentor, discerned grave dangers to
the republic through the great CEN
tralization of wealth, he should have
so declared in unequivocal terms and
demanded that these things be insert
ed in his credentials, or he should de-
cline to become the beneficiary OF
whatever popularity his chief has ac-
quired by his strenuous champion
ship of these measures. The logic
Of the situation prohibits the war sec
rotary in this campaign from riding
any hobby but his own. The Chicago
platform, which must be considered as
his official announcement, bears about
as much resemblance to the belligerent
that have been hurled from
the White House as a lad bears to
his stepfather.
