SENATOR A. c. LAT|MER DEAD
South CaroIinian Operated on For
Appendicitis in Washington.
Tillman's Colleague Was the Author
of the LatimeP Good Roads Bill
Prominent in Agriculture.

Washington, D. C.-Senator AS
bury c. Latimer, of South Carolina,
died at Providence Hospital of peri
tonitis. He had been at the hospital
four days, when he underwent an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. 1t was then
discovered that he was suffering from
a far more serious intestinal ailment.
The members of the Senator's family
were with him when he died, having
been informed that there was little
hope that he would survive.
Vice-President Fairbanks desig-
mated a committee Of ten to arrange
for and attend the funeral.
The Speaker of the House also ap-
pointed a committee. The funeral
party left for the Latimer home at
Bolton, S. C.
Asbury Churchwell Latimer was
born in Abbeville County, S. c.. July
81, 1851. He first came into political
prominence in 1890, when he refused
the Democratic nomination for Lieu
tenant-Governor on the ticket headed
by Benjamin R. Tillman, his col
league in the Senate. His reason was
that he preferred to work for the
party in the lower ranks.
Mr.. Latimer was elected to the
House of Representatives in 1892. He
was reelected to this office for four
consecutive terms. He was then sent
to the United States Senate.
In Congress Mr.. Latimer was m
of the most earnest and conscientious
committee workers, being a member
of the Committee on Agriculture, I'M
migration, Manufactures and Census,
as well al others of less Importance.
He was especially interested in good
roads and probably did more to pro.
mote the National movement for Gov
eminent building of good roads than
any other member of Congress. He
was the author of the Latimer Good
Roads bill. AS a member of the
Manufactures Committee he gave
much attention to the preparation OF
the pure food law and also took a
! prominent part in drafting the pend.
ing Copyright bill.

Walla Walla welcomes the grand
lodge Of the Independent Order of odd
Fellows and its affiliated organizations,
and hopes that when the ce:es-. es

but pleasant memories of this garden

Walla Walla knows something about
Odd Fellowship and what it knows is
good. Hundreds of her best citizens
are members Of Enterprise. Washing
ton, and Trinity lodges, while Bee Hive
and Narcissa lodges of the Rebekahs
contain many examples of her best
womanhood.
odd Fellowship is based upon endur-
ing principles. and rigid adherance
to its creed makes better men and
women.
May the fraternity constantly grow
in usefulness. and may it ever main
tain its present high standards.

BETTER STREET CAR SERVICE.

The announcement that the Walla
Walla Valley Traction company is to
begin work at once on the Pleasant
street extension makes pleasing read
ing to the citizens of Walla Walla
Nothing aids quite so much in the
building up Of community as a first :
class street car system. and if the
plans of the local traction company do
not miscarry Walla Walla will soon
have reason to be proud of its trans
portation facilities.
With a network of lines through the
populous residence portions of the city
and a car service which will make it
possible for man to get to his work
and back again without the necessity
of maintaining a horse and buggy or an
automobile. the development of the
outlying districts will be rapid indeed.
The Statesman predicts that the
growth of Walla Walla in the next
few years will startle even its most
enthusiastic booster

and the prediction is made that with
in q wear the depositors will be paid
in full.
Let us hope that they will. A man
who deposits his money in bank is
entitled to get it back, and it is
sad commentary upon our financial
system that such a man should be
subjected to even the slightest risk
of loss Under the present system In
vogue in New York, Knickerbocker
Trust company depositors will be
fortunate if they get all the money
they put in the Inflated institution.
In striking contrast with this con-
dition of affairs, is the Oklanora
plan of guaranteed deposits. under
which depositors in bank which
failed two weeks ago received their
money within an hour after the
banking commissioner had taken
charge of the institution.
Which is the better plan-to gel
your money in little drabs during the
long months of a receivership, with
the ultimate probability of never real
izing one hundred cents on the dol
lar, or to have the state take charge
and pay the depositors off at once,
reimbursing itself from the guaranty
fund and the assets of the defunct
institution?
Isn't it worth thinking about?

Weather Conditions.

Rain has fallen during the past "a
hours in northern and western Wash
ington. Montana and the lower Mis-
souri, valley, due to a trough of low
barOmetric pressure extending from
British Columbia along the Rocky
mountains to New Mexico. A depres-
sion now passing away from the north
Atlantic coast has caused rain in that
section. High barometric ereas overlie
the upper Mississippi valley and the
northern California coast and fair
weather prevails in the middle ives

are generally seasonal this morning in

NIGHT PLEASE ROOSEVELT.

The recent election in Japan brings
to mind the system of government
which they have over there and this
further exemplification Of it shows all
the mere plainly that it is a system
which would appeal most strongly to
President Roosevelt and others of that
stripe in the United States of Ameri
ca. says the Seattle Times. In fact. the
Japanese system is one that the pres
ent president of the United States
should find most fitting to his needs
and best adapted to his necessities.
For one thing, it seems that the Jap
anese parliament is only a form; that
the vote in case of an appeal to the
people along the English system is.
in effect, only an endeavor to give the
people a chance to support the admin
istration. In the event that the vote at
the polls is not in support of the ad-
eioii' hitothOi ciSNSIoiI IiluSl pt
called ito rectify the mistake"
At any time that the emperor of
Japan finds his parliament opposing his
policies. all that he needs to do is to
dissolve the parliament There will be
no question about the matter because
the emperor can do no wrong"
Japan is. therefore, limited mon
archy in which the emperor has auto
cratic privileges. He has given to his
people republican form of govern
ment in which the parliament can say
whatever it chooses but which must
come to him in the end for official re-
view with all of its acts.
The British parliament means the
house of commons. and the house of
commons in the last couple of wears
has come very near to legislating the
mouse of lords out of existence. In
Great Britain, the house of commons is
more powerful than the king. but in
Japan. the emperor is considered to be
direct descendant Of the gods and a

REAL PROGRESS.

Frequently the uniformed or the
biased partisan takes occasion to re-
fer to the democratic party as the
party of opposition, forgetting through
party has been in the vanguard of the
progressive legislation procession for
the past twelve years. President
Roosevelt won his popularity by his
attempts to compel an unwilling re-
publican congress to place measures
on the statute books which were first
exclusively advocated by the democ-
racy.
Today, while the memory of the do
nothing congress is still fresh in the
minds of the people, it may be worth
while to mention just a few of the re-
forms proposed-not opposed, mind you
by the democratic party:
The democratic party stands FOR
election of senators by direct vote of
the people
The democratic party stands for in
dependence for the F'ilipinos.
The democratic party stands for eff
fective legislation against the trusts.
The democratic party stands for
reduction of the tariff.
The democratic party stands for
guaranteed bank deposits
The democratic party stands for eff
fective railroad legislation
The democratic party stands for sep
arate statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.
The democratic party stands for an
income tax.
The democratic party stands for an
economical administration of public
affairs, national, state, county and mu-
nicipal
Many of these reforms have been adj
vOcated by prominent republicans;
many of them have found place in
republican platforms.
But the fact remains that with over
whelming majorities in both brancne,
of congress for the past twelve years,
not one of them has been adopted.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-06-01

person Who can really do no wrong.
Therefore when the Japanese parlia-
ment does anything which displeases
him. all that the mikado has to do is
new election.
IN Old Ben Franklin's Time the
same form of government would have
undoubtedly held good in the United
States. but at this time, the man who
sits in the presidential chair is not of
the Franklin type.
Our present president is a man who
likes to combine the trinity upon
which the different departments CT the
United States government was based
in much the same manner as God
controls the trinity of the bible. He
wants to be legislator, judge and ex-
ecutor
Therefore, if We would have adopted
here the japanese system of govern
ment, it would probably result in very
much less work for our president and
a much more emphatic meaning to the
messages which he sends TO congress.
Ii congress did not do as he wanted,
he could dissolve it and call for a
new vote If the people still continued
to be unruly, he could abolish the form
of democratic government and resume
the role of autOcrat.
Altogether, there is much in the
Japanese system of government to at
tract a man like Roosevelt and to make
1t easier for such man to govern the
country to suit himself
