Choate's Spirit Messages.

To the Editor: Spirit Rufus Choate
continues to control the Walla Walla
medium and leaves some short, inter-
testing messages, clothed in we'll Sc
lected language. IS.
lover the brow of the mountain,
Up from the shore of the sea,
Shining DER valley and hilltop,
Cometh the message to me.
Some thoughts that have never been
spoken
And awake our slumbering manhood
To do battle for truth and right.
Jan. 80, 1908. "CHOATE."
"Hesitation is the ban of mankind.
Time moves steadily on; whatever &C.
Icurs, there is no hesitation or procras-
tination there. In the Book of Nature
all is progress; nothing ever stands
still.

Nature, which is spread out before him,
and invites him in every possible way
to read and interpret, he will find
therein the secrets Of life, happiness,
prosperity and peace.
"CHOATE."
Addressed to Young Man.
Great thoughts are seldom uttered
by small men. What we most urgently
desire we seek for the hardest. The
world was not created in a day; neither
shall be the perfect man. We grow
we expand, we develop. Each moment
each hour. each day, each year of life
makes us little higher up the lad
der that we are aiming to climb.
with the development of the body
the mind is also developed, and as the
thought is large the mind must be cor
respondingly large. Wisdom lies al
about US; we have but to stretch Out
our hands and gather it in. Progress is
the law of men and of nations, and the
farther off the goal the harder we
must climb to reach it.
This voice, that has long beer
istiiied, once re-echoed through .tnt
halls of state, and the thoughts which
animated this frame when here below
still animate the mind, and viii CON

ages. Those thoughts that were worthy
Of reproduction shall again thrill

FIXING UP asLATEs."

CONSIDERABLE is being said about the
- making Of "slates" for the next Republican
State Convention 1t is assumed that this man
or that man can pick the winners at the conven-
ton. and that a set-up ticket can be named before
hand All of this assumes that the voters have
no say in the nominations to be made. But 1t is
evident that the voters. if they WISH do have the
final word If they are indifferent and care moth
ing about the nominations, Of course slate can
be fixed uD.
It is right that there should be a number Of
aspirants for the different places on the ticket.
There are many good Republicans in the State
capable of filling the positions for which candi-
dates will be named at the coming convention.
The way to them is wide open. They have a
chance to enter the race if they desire.
The man who gets the greatest number OF
delegates and developes the greatest strength at
the convention will get the nomination that he
seeks. That is all there is to it. and the various
persons who are making States" would do well
TO remember that the convention will finally pass
upon the states.

CANDIDATE TAFT TO THE PEOPLE.

TAFTS speech of acceptance lacks the ag-
n gressiyeness and the impetuosity that
characterize the utterances OF President koose-
Welt. Taft's presentation OF his views IS rather
Sn the manner of pleader presenting his case
with strict calm methods of reasoning. 1t IS,
however, because of this, none the less effective,
none the less strong and convincing 1t takes the
reader from one point to another clearly and logi-
cally 1t is an Interpretation of the Republican
platform by the candidate, by the man who stands
upon the platform.
Those who expected the candidate to hedge or
sound a retreat will be grievously disappointed.
Taft linked his fortunes with those of Roosevelt
and the policies of the latter He stands for them
because he believes them to be right and because
he believes that the strength of the partys APP
peal to the voters at this election rests upon the
strength of the policies advocated by President
Roosevelt There is no homage paid 10 the con-
servatives and reactionaries in the Taft address,
but the judicial tone and the substance of the
speech show that all interests are to be justly
treated.
In the address of the candidate, the Presidents
policies are justified the evils of which the Presi-
dent has complained are reasserted, and although
Taft makes il clear that his own administration
will be distinct from it, it will by no means be
population OF the Roosevelt administration. The
method will be different
Taft discusses the labor question at length,
and while pronouncing for the integrity of the
courts, he suggests changes in the rules for ssu-
ing injunctons, which would correct the alleged
injustces due to the alleged abuse of that court
practice His handling of the court problem is
5udicious and able, and no one need fear an as
sault upon the courts by Taft. 1t is unthinkable
There is to be no ground for violent overthrow
of the safeguards of property. At the same time
the interests of men as we'll as of property are
considered. In dealing with the entire labor
question Taft 5eores strongly for the party by
showing the concern that the party has taken in
labor. He pictures the past guarantee of
the future. He clearly points out the rights of
men to organize for their own protection, and
fixes the limitations of those rights.
The significant part of the address is that it
shows that the so-called new conditions upon
rs. There is no candidate before the people for
president who suits the reactionary idea of which
we hear so much of in certain newspapers. Per-
sons will have to adjust themselves TO new con-
ditions to the broader and better way, and the
sooner the pull-backs make up their minds to
this. the better.
The speech of Taft ought to remove any doubt
that may have existed of his election It will
powerfully affect the middle West where the
battle is TO be fought It practically puts the
New York idea" out of the running Taft has
the East because no other path is open TO it, and
his speech clinches the West.

MAJESTY
BY John M. Dornsy.

The lightning's hash-the thunder's roll.
The tempests rage is wondrous grand:
The midnight storm brings awe to soul.
There's quaking fear throughout the
land.
In yonder chamber. still and cold.
Sleeps one we knew amid the strife,
In prime OF life-nor young, nor old,
He was called away this day from life.

Seel I draw the curtain thus aside;
He rests in solemn majesty.
He lived; he loved, and then he died,
At last his brain, his soul is free
Comel my fried gaze on him now,
See those lips forever dumb,
And see that icy marble brow.
His honest heart is STILLS numb.
You remember how his eyes would flash.
As he pleaded for the poor-their sighs;
Why start? N'er mind the thunder's crash
See how peaceful he-and closed his eyes
This storm tonight chills stoutest hearts,
But see, those pale lips seem to smile
'Tis though he'd say "Just do your part,
Be honest, bold. and free from guile"
Within yon caslSet, cold and still.
Resided once a busy brain.
An honest heart, a dauntless win.
And yet his life was full of pain.
His soul, his brain, his tongue. his pen,
Could not be scared-could not be
bought,
He stood for God: he stood for men;
He wrote and spoke just as he thought
Speak not to me OF earthly fame,
OF gold, OF worldly majesty,
What tinsel men weave round their namei
In deaths dark hour they all shall see.
Our friend who sleeps meath yonder pail
Feared not while on this earthly sod,
Nor feared he at the final call:
He stood for men, he honored God.

The one, the mighty God Of all,

Editorial Opinion
Delaware at Camp Perry.

Milford Chronicle.
It has been the decision OF the military
authorities OF Delaware. that a rife team
shall represent the State at the annual
international contest to be held at Camp
Perry, Ohio. from the tenth TO the thir-
ueth OF August. and a team Of twenty
men composed OF those who have made
the best scores In practice with the
new army rifle win be selected after the
practice hring at Rehoboth is completed.
The effectiveness OF any troops is gauged
by their accuracy in firing. and the ex-
perience IN rifle shooting demonstrates
their value. Aside from this the training
for an expert rife shot is a splendid thing
for young men physically They must
have strong, steady nerves. the best eye
sight to become experts. II is a fine thing
for them and a reserve defensive strength
for their country which cannot be estimat-
ed in value.

HUGHES FOR GOVERNOR.

GOVERNOR HUGHES has expressed his
willingness to be candidate for renomi-
nation for governor of the Empire State The
Woodruff crowd OF bosses was hoping that the
governor had determined to retire to private
life. If Mr.. Hughes were to retire from politics
i would be money in his pocket His expenses
have been heavy and he has filed the executive
chair at Albany at positive pecuniary loss to
himself The only reward he has obtained is

science knows that he has performed his duty

The governor has declared that he will accept
another nomination if the people want him. He
IS relying upon the support of the voters at large
and not upon that of the manipulators
The governors declaration has been received
with much dissatisfaction by some Of the New
York leaders, but it looks as if they were prepar-
ing to make the best of it. In some wavs thew
want strong candidate like Hughes Hughes
would help along the national ticket if it needs
help and he would win strength from various
elements that have supported him in his conflict
with the race tracks

would lose the gambling element, but that crowd
will support the Tammany ticket, no matter

Tammany and Fingy Conners candidate for gov

Some of the Republican leaders of New York
admit that they will be forced to take Hughes
again simply because of his strength with the
people.
Hughes has made a model governor of all the
people. He has played no favortes and he IS
the strongest candidate from every point OF view
that could be nominated.
