The debaters of the Lincoln Debat-
ing club met Tuesday afternoon with
Mr.. Ellis and received instructions.
There are four trying out, Paul For
dyce being the leader. Thursday after
noon they were taken by Mrs. Jenne
to the college library. where they read
up on the subject. The question is,
Resolved, that the elimination of
private profits is the only way of soly-
ing the saloon question. The Lin
coin club has the affirmative of the
question. The idea in having the two
teams is that the two teams can de-
bate here and the winning trio can de-
bate with teams of other towns. The
debates now promise to be interesting
ones.

that is the reason the voters are asked
10 amend the constitution.
Two years ago voters were asked 70
amend the constitution so as to define
the removal of timber products in
streams as public. That amendment
was Killed, too, as it should have
been. 1t was companion of an
amendment similar to the one sub
United his year. If the amendment in
regard to the use of streams had
passed, it would have been possible to
clog stream up with logs and de-
prlve Others of the free use of it.
The appeal that an owner of timber
should have the right to get his timber
out without being blocked is specious.
Let the larger timber owners with
sufficient capital to build logging
roads or skid roads agree to transport
for reasonable consideration the logs
or products of those through whose
lands they desire to pass and they will
have no serious difficulty.
The amendment is communistic to a
dangerous dergee and should be voted
down. Let US not upset the founda-
ton on which the right to the enjoy
ment of private property now rests.
When a proposed use really serves a
public purpose, the courts have never
hesitated to sustain condemnation pro-
ceedings. Tacoma Ledger.

MR.. COSGROVE AS GOV ERNOR.

In the Hon. Samuel G. Cosgrove.
candidate for governor, the republicans
of Washington have chosen for the
first position in the state man who
is entitled to the confidence. respect.
and support of every member of his
party.
Sound in his republicanism, clean,
able and progressive, Mr.. Cosgrove
will give this state an efficient and
honest administration. No promise
made by him, or by his party for
him, will be broken; the policies to
which the republican party is pledged
in this campaign will be scrupulously
observed by him, and there will be
no going backward so far as the pro-
gressive policies of the Mead admins
tration are concerned.
Mr.. Cosgrove has been always a
factor for good in the party to which
he belongs because of his honest up
rightness and straightforwardness.
All the people of the state, without
regard to political lines, interests or
sections, will be fortunate in having
as governor a man of Mr.. Cosgrove's
character, clean ideals and honesty of
purpose in all that he does.
Realizing the ambition of his life
when he becomes governor of the state
that fact alone will be strong in
centive to high endeavor, and will
impel an earnestness of effort and
desire to conserve the public good,
which cannot fail to make for success.
Mr.. Cosgrove is justly entitled to the
undivided support of his party. and
that he will receive it may be accept
ed as forgone conclusion-Chronicle.

The most important office to be
filled in any county is that of assessor,
but unfortunately that office has been
filled during the past two years by a
salary grabber whose gray matter was
entirely on the outside of his head.
Mr.. Duff has not single redeeming
quality as a public official, and we are
confident that the mind of the voter is
already made up on the point of rele-
eating the old fossil to private life.
Mr.. English is a competent man. and
will fill the assessors office with
credit.

TAGS FOR EVERYBODY

Next Tuesday will not be noted
alone because it is election day in
Pullman, but it will be tag day as
we'll. and the person who fails to wear
a tag will be out of style. II is
planned to "tag" everybody, at ten
cents tag, and the proceeds will go
to help maintain the reading and rest
rooms.
Plenty of tags will be supplied, so
no one need be afraid of exhausting
the supply.

AMENDMENT ON EMINENT
DOMAIN.

The constitutional amendment in re-
gard to the power of eminent domain
10 be submitted to voters at the No
vember election is a dangerous depart
ure from the present provisions of the
basic law and should be defeated over
whelmingly. 1t was defeated two
years ago, in slightly different
form, and should be defeated again
this year.
Wherein is the danger? The amend
ment declares that private property
may be taken for rights of way for
the removal of timber and timber pro-
ducts and such use shall be declared to
be public "even though such appropri-
alton and use may inure to the special
Oene1t of some private individual,
hrm. corporation or association. "
The legislature is authorized by the
amendment to prescribe the conditions
and limitations.
and a most remarkable feature of
the amendment is a little "Joker" on
me very end, which seeks to deprive
fha
@e courts of the right to say whether
we proposed use is public. The con-
"itutlon now provides that whenever
an attempt is made to take private
property for use alleged to be public.

use be really public shall be a judicial
question, and determined as such,

A straw ballot was taken Friday
at the high school, The students
were told about it Thursday so they
could read the platforms of the differ
ent parties. The history recitations
were made shorter and the students
were read articles from men of differ
ent parties so they could more easily
make up their minds for whom to
vote. The voting was made as much
as possible as it is at the polling
places. 1t would be too complicated
to vote for all of the officers so a vote
was only taken for presidential elect
ors, representative in congress, COVER
nor, county auditor, county sheriff and
county superintendent of schools. The
judges were Fred Gelwick, Gwendolin
Wild and Daniel Cowling. The polls
closed shortly after school took up on
the afternoon and the ballots were
counted as soon after that as possible.
The result was as follows: President
Taft 40. Bryan 80, Debs 6. Repre-
sentative in Congress-Republican 45,
democrat &c. Governor-Rep. AZ.
Dem. 20. County sheriff Rep. Sc,
Dem. 81. County Auditor Rep. 50,
Dem. Is. Supt. of Schools--Rep. 80,

tionists also received few votes.

1t would be sheerest folly for Whit
man county to send democrats to rep
resent it in the state legislature. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly re-
publican. and as a matter of course
republicans will be given the better
places on committees. Republicans
in caucus will decide upon the form of
legislation to be enacted along local
option lines, and the bill will be
passed by republicans in keeping with
the party pledge. Both 0. E. Young
and |. B. Harris are supporters of a
proper local option measure, and
friends of the measure should see that
both these gentlemen are elected next
Tuesday that they may be in Olympia
and in the party councils when this
lee islation is formulated.

The Herald believes that both pro-
posed amendments to the state consti-
tuition, to be voted upon next Tuesday,
should be voted down. Great care
should be exercised in amending the
constitution, and it is evident that
each of these proposed amendments
contains pernicious features that
should condemn it.

WRITER THOUGHT TO BE CRANK
Man Held for Writing Threatening
Letters to Speaker Cannon.

INDIANAPOLIS, March Q. - Hiram
Maine. sixty-four years old, was arrested
Saturday on warrant sworn out by
William F. Fletcher, United States post
office inspector, charged with writing
threatening letters to Speaker Joseph
G, Cannon and Representative Jesse
Overstreet of Indiana.
These letters have continued nearly two
years. One was an anonymous threat of
assassination. inspired by their attitude
on the pure-food legislation in the Con-
gress of 1906. Secret service officers were
not able to find clue to the possible
identity of the author of the letters
until a few days ago, when they learned
that Maine was writer of anonymous
communications. After investigation the
officers discovered what they regard as
Maine was found living in a filthy back
room. He has had half dozen aliases.
and all his letters and postal cards to
public men have contained implied
threats appeals and many charges. The
post Office authorities do not believe that
Maine is associated with anarchists, or
that he is very dangerous man. but
they expect to secure his conviction and
thereby teach a lesson.
That Maine is a crank and might prove
dangerous is readily admitted. but those
VINO know him best think he had no
motive in writing distinguished men ex-
cept to tell them of the sentiment among
the people and try to steer them away
from practices that he believed inimical
to the welfare Of the country.

Gen. Daggett Draws Lesson From

"The Relief of Peking'' was the title of

at the head of the United States expedi-

of the Boxer uprising in China. He dealt
largely with the organization and various
movements of the American troops in
suppressing the outbreak. and. as moral
lesson. referred to the heroism of Calvin
P. Titus of Company K, 14th Infantry,
who was the first to scale the walls of the
ancient city and sound the attack with
his trumpet from their heights.
This man." said the general, twas al
ways the butt of his regiment because of
his moral courage in leading Christian
life. When the worst came to the worst
his physical courage excited the admira-
ton of all. But what l wish to point out
particularly, as above and beyond all
physical courage. is the quiet. calm, UNI
bending moral courage of the man. This
is a distinction which. unfortunately,
passes unnoticed. especially in the
younger generation of today. They fail
to catch the difference between moral
courage and physical courage.
while physical courage is an excellent
requirement for a young man., he con-
tinued sturdy. unf1inching. reliable moral
courage the greater virtue
Several passages were quoted from the
Scriptures to show the value set by Christ
Himself upon honesty and moral courage.
He that endures to the end, the same
shall be saved" quoted the general
Watch We and stand fast in the faith.
Acauit we like men. Be strong"
Continuing. he said: Our Lord gave us
a stirring lesson by his modesty and SIM
ple moral courage. He is the strongest
character the world has ever known"
In his reference to his soldier model he
made mention of the fact that young
Titus was rewarded by President Mckin-
ley with a medal Of honor and an appoint
