The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-10-27

When in a recent speech, Judge
Miles Poindexter, of Spokane, nominee
for congress on the republican ticket,
asked some questions concerning the
attitude of William Goodyear, he
showed not only an ignorance of the
latter's principles, advocated for years,
but he also laid himself open for some
rather pertinent questions, which, so
far he has failed to answer.
The policies and principles advocated
bv Billy Goodyear have never been
made a secret by that gentleman. He
has openly and fearlessly spoken his
mind and it is for this reason that he,
in the opinion of many sober minded
people, not all democrats, believe he
will be elected. Says Mr.. Goodyear in
his reply to the Polndexter questions:
Il believe that this question should
wants to know Il l CONSIDER the regu-
'ation of railroad rates of importance
to the people of the Inland Empire
and why I am not discussing this is
sue in my campaign. The answer is
simple. The people Of eastern Wash
ington know how I stand on this issue,
they know the part which 1 took on
the stump and through the columns
of my paper in the fight for railroad
legislation and it is therefore not ne
cessary for me to discuss the question.
When we democrats, under the leader
ship Of John r Rogers, George Tur-
ner and w. W. Tolman, and the repub-
,icans under the leadership of Henry
Mcbride. Harold Preston and The
Spok kesman-Rev1 were engaged in
q life-and-death struggle with the
railroad lobby to secure state rail-
way commission vested with adequate
powers, Judge Poindexter was not on
the firing line and to the best of my
knowledge and recollection, took no
part in the fight. 1t may therefore be
necessary for him to explain his pres
ent attitude regarding railroad regu-
Iation. but it is not incumbent upon
him to DO so.
Platform Shows, He Says.
Judge Poindexter is apparently in
doubt as to my position on the pro-
lection of public lands, the reclama-
ton of arid lands. etc. If he would
take the trouble to read my platform
or the time to listen to any one Of my
speeches his doubt would be cleared
away. He says that he is opposed to

This afternoon Whitman college is
playing the second and last game OF
her trip, in Tacoma, against Whitworth
college. Whitworth has never lowered
the colors of the Missionaries, but this
year is supposed to have better team
than ever before, and Whitman is
touted to be weaker.
A week ago last Saturday Whit
worth succeeded in holding Washing
ton to no score in the first half, but
then was defeated z4-4. Whitman last
year defeated the Tacomans 17-O.
What the outcome today will be is
hard to predict, although the Mission
aries should win handily.
The lineup of the Whitman team
is practically that of last Saturday S
game. Whitworth is not as heavy as
Washington, but she will be a trif1e
heavier than Whitman Whitman is
confident, since her unexpected show
ing against the university; and Whit
worth is not so sure now. In fact Coach
Rueber is a trif1e pessimistic, and
yesterday made the following state
ment:
"Whitworth has taken a slump since
their defeat by Washington. The men
have not been working, and unless
Whitman falls off from their work of
Saturday, Whitworth is due for an
other drubbing"
The teams will line up as follows:

that in making the ascensions young
Berry attains an altitude rarely made
by parachute jumpers, of from four
to five thousand feet before cutting
loose and descending in his para
chute. In consequence it seems a
veritable jumping from the clouds,
and a thriller that should satisfy
everyone.
An added free attraction an
Eounced for the coming week is the
great Bertini, who ascends and de-
sends a 40-foot spiral tower on a
unicycle. In the popular open air
theatre vaudeville will be given for
the balance of the summer. The
bills each week have been of unvary
ing excellence, and made up of many
novel and pleasing forms of enter
tainment in tabloid form, that are
now commonly termed vaudeville
but known in the past as the con
tinuous" or variety"
According to the plans announced
the park will remain open for an
auxiliary autumn season, and Mana
ger A. H. Dexter is busy as a bee
laying out a schedule of autumnal
events and features that will bring

AMUSEMENT PARK.

Undaunted and unaffected by the
waning of the regular summer sea-
son the management of the Palisades
Amusement Park are steadily enlarg-
ing and improving their splendid
open air amusement enterprise.
Since the last Issue of the Palisadian
many new features have been added.
One of the most prominent is Ne
braska Bits Wild West and Indian
Village The former is an aggre-
cation of excellent rough riders, in
feats of trick riding, broncho bust
ing and the daily life of the cowboy
on the plains and in his native sage
brush The latter, the Indian Viii
iage, is small but faithful replica
of a small Indian encampment. 1t
consists of a half dozen Indian te-
pees in which is encamped band
of real simon pure redskins, gay in
war paint and bedecked with gaudy
colors. 1t gives a glimpse of their
home life in the far West, and they
Incidentally offer for sale some eX-
cellent beadwork of their own handi-
craft.
The principal free attraction at the
park at present is Professor Dick
Berry. a young and daring aeronaut
who is making daily balloon ascen-
sions and parachute jumps every
afternoon and who will remain at
the park until after Labor Day This
act is full of real sensationalism in

cision in the case of Messrs. Burton

Jail at Norfolk. Va. convicted Of riot
ing and sentenced to confinement in

The opinion reverses the action of
the trial court and so positive and
emphatic is the decision that it is
openly announced that the case will
be nolle prosecuted and the prison
ers viii go free. So ends one of the
most remarkable cases that has ever
taken place in this commonwealth,
in that the men concerned belonged
to the better class OF colored people,
men, who respected themselves and
thereby caused others to respect
them. The sad part about IL all is
that Mr.. Burton was doing a large
business at Onancock and was living
in comparative ease. when his place
of business and stock OF goods were
destroyed by lawless white men, who
