able to catch the Speakers eye,
but whether economy will appear
in the appropriation bills is an
other question. Pressure will
probably be brought to bear for
a large Rivers and Harbors bill
and so many members of Con-
gress have interests in their dis
tricts favoring improvements of
rivers and harbors that economy
has small chance in this appro-
priation. Then there are the
friends of a larger navy and
these will come forward for the
four battleships that were so
much urged by the President and
his friends during the first ses-
sion of this Congress. An in
crease of the army will be urg-
emily advocated, though it may
be assumed that in these piping
times of peace, there is not much
prospect of such increase.
The Inland Waterways Com
mission, which will be in session
in Washington in a few days,
will probably hold its meetings
in the conference room of the
House office building. A number
of congressman are members of
this commission and it is proba-
BILE that the request for the room
will be granted. The movement
for waterways improvement is a
very popular one and it is expec-
ted that fifty millions of dollars
a year will be asked for this pur-
pose. The demand for the con-
servation of the natural resour-
ces of the country, to which
Speaker Cannon has been stub
bornly opposed, will, if eff ective,
involve a considerable appropri-
alton. Inasmuch as Clifford Pin
chot, head of the Forestry Di-
vision, has been beyond all 9TH
ers insistent for these measures
and has been most enthusiastic
ally sustained and put forward
by the President and it is said
will have the Agricultural De-
partment portfolio under Presi-
dent-elect Taft, there is in this
situation, another ground of diff
ference and contention betwee
the administration and the House
of Representatives as at present
organized.

Each mishap has it's COM

this there can be no manner Of

There are many plants little known
to the market gardener that, If rightly
pushed, would enjoy ready sale. Sea
kale, for instance, will furnish a
spring vegetable ahead of asparagus.
From seed sown in May good plants
can be set into a permanent bed in
August or September and will remain
for years. Earth is lightly piled over
the bed to a height of about foot In
early spring, and when the shoots
come through this covering they are
cut off to the roots. This gives one
stalks of kale much resembling cell

than Judge Taft. He is going
to investigate and report. What!
Is he turning humorist? We can
see nothing mysterious about it.
The country was looking for just
such a result. The expected hap
pened.
The Democratic candidate had
been defeated twice, affording
him hint that another defeat
might happen. So it did.
Bryan, Bryan, defeated man,
He didn't get there the thrice he ran.
Each defeat was more complete
than the preceding one, the third
being really overwhelming.
Wherein is the mystery?
1t was in the state of mind be-
longing to Mr.. Bryan, and his
helpers. They were sure of win
ming. The candidate himself had
no doubt about it, Chairman
Mack had figured out 3O8 elect
oral votes for his chief, and the
editor of the Courier Journal was
cocksure of victory, there was no
more to do but the shouting.
That was the state of mind.
When defeat came instead of
victory, it was a stunning sur
prise-a mystery.
There was really no good rea-
son for the optimistic view OF
the Democratic leaders. There
was no indication of a landslide.
Every thing was going on as u.s.
ual in campaign times. Mr.. Bry-
an, as usual, was drawing big
crowds and talking enthusiastic
ally. Judge Taft also was on the
stump with a host of helpers, but
all this was in the ordinary way
of politics. There was no sign
of a cataclysm in favor of the
Democratic candidate; but he
thought victory was in the air.
And so it was, for the other fell
low. That was the mystery.
We shall wait patiently for Mr..
Bryan's exposition of the great
mystery of his third and last de-
feat.
We see it printed that Mr..
Bryan has concluded not to turn
evangelist, as some of his fool
friends urged him to do. An
evangelist, he says, is all right;
but he would rather be a reform
er. Converting sinners is a good
thing, but correcting social
wrongs is more to his bent of
mind. We concur. Having been
in politics so long, he could nev-
er make an efficient evangelist.
Better stick to his job.
There is always room for re-
form in politics. Bryan wants to
reform the whole country. Well,
let him proceed. He needs no
Office for that business. He has
his newspaper to exploit his
ideas, and the rostrum for his
eloquence. What need he more?
One thing more is needed sure,
to-wit What is to be the refor-
nation? For the last twelve
years .he has preached many
things; but changes about from
one thing to another, a strange
proceeding for a refOrmer.
When Martin Luther wanted to
reform the church he made that
the main object of his life and
talents. No side issues for him.
Wien John Wesley had in mind
the reform of the English peo-
ple, he had that continually in
mind, heart and doings. When
William Lloyd Garrison wanted
to bring about emancipation in
this country, he worked for that
and nothing else. That is the

is YOUR NAME THERE?

City Clerk Hart reports that up to
today 1860 voters of Walla Walla had
placed their names on the registration
book The new directory credits Walla
Walla with about $4,000 people, which
includes, according to standard esti-
mates. about 4,400 men Of voting age.
Deducting 400 as the probable num-
Der disqualified by reason of residence
and kindred causes, there should be
1000 voters in the city. If there are 1000
voters in the city, and The Statesman
believes there are, there are 204O who
have thus far failed to register.
Are you one of these 2040?
With your city demanding its best
intelligence in the administration of its
affairs, are you willing to let some
body else do your voting?
Or have you just forgot to register
Do you think you will remember to
do it tomorrow, or would it be better if
You visited Mr.. Hart nav and put your
name on the list?

M ay Robson.

On Thursday night, June II, at the
keylor Grand theater, l.. S. Sire will
present May Robson. in the new 1908
American comedy, The Rejuvenatio /
of Aunt Mary by Anne Warner. The
play is from the novel by the same
name which won Miss Warner distinc~
ton as an authoress.
THE Regeneration Of Aunt Mary" is
one of the most popular boks on the
market today, and those who have not
read it's hould do so. In dramatizing the
book, Miss Warner has left out none of
the comedy but has added more With
this has been added many novel stage
settings The company supporting Miss
Robson is a strong one and contains
the following well-known people; Nina
Saville, Grace Parks F'iske, Lillian
Westner, Francis Herblin, George A.
Stevenson. H. NJ. Crowley, Jack Story
and George Hall
Miss Robson is one Of the few who
in this day dares to be a character
actress. To her character impersona-
tons she brings a comprehension of
and gesture and an ease and fuency Of
quiet, unctious delivery that are in the
better spirit Of a polished. experienced
and original comedy All Of this the To-
cal theater goers have seen too little

Miss Robson will appear in this city
in her new play in which she is star

has become APPARENTLY sOmnolent owing
to prolonged residence in the country
She comes to the city, and various in
f1uences combine to make her spright-
lier and younger. She rejuvenates a few
degrees in each act, so that in the last
she has become as renovated. Joyous
and as apt to everything as the viva
cious May Robson herself. The play
is divided into three acts. The first AMI
last take place at Aunt Mary's home
in the country The second act is laid
in New York city. The production is

THAT PUBLIC BUILDING SITE.

The question of the location of the
proposed public building Will soon be-
sin to attract the attention of many
of tie citizens of Walla Walla There
will be property owners, who will at
tempt to dispose of their holdings to
the government and there will be other
property owners who will attempt to
have the building located where it will

his office so that the postoffice will be
chances are that there will be some
bitter feeling.
The Statesman believes that the ma
jority of the citizens of this town are
pretty big minded many of them arc
really public spirited Those who expect
TO reap a personal profit from the loca-
ticn OF the new public building are
in the minority, and their petty bick-
erings will not be at all serious unless
they are able to persuade the ordi-
narilly open minded majority to take
sides" and become unduly excited
about the matter.
1t is not at all improbable that some
where in the city there is a site ideal
for a public building. combining the
two essential features-oentral location
and reasonable price.
Don't you think that it would be bet
ter when the time comes to select this
site. to forget the selfish claims of those
who believe that it is the proper thing
to mulct the government, and to get in
and select the best available site price
and location considered. Real estate in
Walla Walla has pretty staple value.
While there is a constant advance in
price, the market isn't going skyward
in night, and when the site is Sc
lected. should the fortunate owner ex-
pect to realize more from it than he
would if it was sold to a private pur-

MISS NELLIE MATTHEWS GOES

SWEETHEART.

BALTIMORE, June 3.-According
to advices received by relatives in this
city, Miss Nellie Matthews, daughter
of Nicholas Nj. Matthews of Baltimore.

Kong, China, after a journey of $4,000
miles. The bridegroom will be Ensign
Reed Nj. Farwell, of Lincoln, Neb.,

Ensign Fawell was a member of
the class of 1905 of the Naval Aead-
envy and it was at a hop in Annapolis
that he met Miss Matthews. Four
years ago he was ordered to the Phil
ipines and as he expected to return in
a couple of years the engagement was
announced and the wedding was to
have taken place Easter. 1906. Fawell,
however. was ordered to Japan and af-
return to this country last month,
when the wedding was to have taken
place, but he learned he would have
to remain in China for thre more years
The bride tO-be then went to Wash
ingtOn, saw President Roosevelt and
asked if Faweu could not be ordered
home, but this availed nothing. Miss
Matthews consequently decided to
leave for Hong Kong.

WE ARE LEARNING.

The morning contribution to repub-
lican literature confidently predicts
that the chamberlain contingent may
be counted upon to holler their heads
off when the party spirit of the repub-
hcans asserts itself ard they insist upon
the choice Of a man from their own
ranks"
Coupled with today's story from
Portland to the effect that the friends
Of the discredited Fulton ara already
predicting his reelection to the United
States senate, it is easy to see that our
republican friends are hard losers and
that they are willing to violate the
peoples expressed will rather than see
their organization forced to take a
back seat
And The Statesman predicts that the
thick and thin republican Jour
mails and Senator Fulten's Port
land cohorts will not be alone
when the senatorial theft at Salem is
attempted. 1t would not at all surprise
many people to see such ardent sun
porters Of American principles as Sec
rotary Taft, President Roosevelt and

movement looking to the thwarting of
the peoples expressed will.
