THE PEOPLES FORUM.

The Evening Statesman today inau-
rates what it expects to see become a
very popular feature of this newspaper
The Statesman does not believe that
a newspaper has fulfilled its whole duty
to the community which supports it
when it prints the news of the day. or
when it comments from its own stand
point, perhaps selfishly and perhaps not
always fairly. upon those happenings
which appears to it to deserve a fuller
calculation than is given in the news
columns.
A newspaper should not only be a
daily teacher: it should be Il daily trib-
une. And to make The Evening States
man such a forum, the column entitled
Editorials Of the People" is today
thrown open to the public
To this column The Statesman ex-
poets to attract not only the best
thought of this community. but a
Ireer discussion OF matters of pubic
interest than has heretofore been prac-
ticable in Walla Walla.

something exceptionally good or excep-
tionally bad in some existing condition

from any standpoint matters he deems
of public interest. morally. socially or
politically; for the cause that needs a
champion" The Statesman offers this
column.

FIFTEEN YEARS Of
KEEN SUFFERING
Rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs Tortured
Day and Night Tried All Kinds
of Remedies to No AvaiI-Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back.
BOTH USED CUTICURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN

"My husband had been a great SUI
ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. At first it was in his bones, but
after while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day l happened to read about
Cuticura Remedies. 1 asked him If
he would not try them. No. said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day l ordered five
dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf.
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
cutie well. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
it cured him. Two years ago l used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me a great deal of good and made
me we'll. Three months since had pains
in my back and Cuticura took them
away, too. I can prove this testi-
monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert,

Showers occurred yesterday after
noon in southeastern Washington and

Damrosch Pleases.

Undoubtedly the greatest musical
treat of the season was the concert of
the New York Symphony orchestra un-
der the direction of Walter Damrosch
at the Keylor Grand last night. The
music loving element of the city was
out in full force and the house was
filled.
Every number was well received it
could not have been otherwise with an
intelligent audience. nom first to las,
the crowd was held almost breathless
under the spell of music rendered by
the 60 artists who compose the Orches-
ira and not a strain of the wonderful
symphony was lost upon the hundreds
who had gathered to hear the pro-
gram.

PLAYING FAIR.

The Statesman was not very much
surprised when some of its good friends
were considerably Mortified at this pa
pers assertion that the property of the
saloons was endowed with the same
rights as any other class of private
property.
One very enthusiastic anti-lquor ad-
vocate wanted to know if this news
paper would try to protect the robber in
the possession of the property he had
stolen
Another had misunderstood the
meaning of the article and came to the
office with the intention of showing the
fallacy of this doctrine of the rights
of property by displaying a recent de-
cision of the supreme court holding
that the saloons could not claim a Ii
cense as a matter of right; that the
granting of licenses was purely discre-
tionary
1t appears to The Statesman that
these very good friends have allowed
their enthusiasm to get the upper hand
of their sense of fairness.
In the first place, a man must be en-
dowed with vivid imagination who
will refer to the acquisitions OF the sa-
looms as form of theft. Not only is it
pretty good morals, but it is pretty
good law to recognize what is common
ly known as the doctrine of undisputed
possession.
If You drive through your neighbour
pasture. and year in and year out you
continue to drive through his pasture,
and others 90 likewise by ana by your
neighbor will find that he has lost mis-
rights in the premises and that your
wagon tracks have, by virtue of his
failure to claim his rights. become a
public road
This state has not only suffered the
saloons to exist. but it has taken q
share of the profits of the liquor traffic
in the form of license moneys. This has
gone on since long before statehood
was even dreamed of. and this policy
has not only been condoned but it has
been actively supported by the vast
majority of our citizens
Now there is evidence that the tide
of public sentiment is changing; that
there is at least a considerable portion
of the people who believe that the
country will be better off without the
saloons.
Believing that this sentiment is
strong. that there is at least the chance
that it will predominant when the
question is brought to a test, The
Statesman has appealed to the sense of
fair play for recognition of the moral
and legal rights which the people have.

TAFT IN THE PHILIPPINES.

one of Secretary Taft's chief claims
to greatness is based upon his accom-
plishments in the Philippine Islands,
and his boosters seemingly take great
pride in referring to his great con-
structive craftsmanship
In this connection. isn't it just a lit
tie remarkable that Americans who
have been in the Philippines are for
the most part singularly silent on the
merits of the secretary's great achieve
ments in the Orient.
At a rough guess there are probably
100000 men in America who have
pent some time in the Philippines
since Mr.. Taft was sent to the Islands
to organize a civil government there.
Did you ever find one of these men who
was willing to admit that Taft's ad-

Editor Statesman: In the issue of

editorial entitled. The Facts of The

take neutral grounds as far as the facts
will justify, as to who is entitled to
credit, or the greatest amount thereof
for securing an appropriation by con-
gress for a public building in Walla

In your said editorial YOU seem to
advise giving the honors in blanket
form so as to cover the entire Wash

the same time. in reciting the history
of this appropriation you show con-
clusively that to Senator Ankeny, and
he alone. of the Washington delegation.

getting an appropriation amounting to
$4,000 for his home city. While you
caution against too much generosity in
matter Oh giving circuit, YOU are
sonabIy generous to Congressman Jones
in the concluding paragraph of your
said editorial when you say: 1--WE have
$4,000 worth of gratitude, which on
the face of the record should be divided
between Jones and Ankeny on the
basis of $4,000 worth to the Yakima
man and 100000 worth to the Walla
Walla senator
If the writer mistakes not. Jones
wired some of his Boxer friends in
Walla Walla some time ago that $780,
600 was the best that could be gotten
for Wana Walla. His wire to Mr.. LOr

THE GREAT TREASURY DEFICIT

The Literary Digest presents some of
the comments made by republican
newspapers concering republican ad-
mnistration. Following is an extract:
The republican party is warned by
one of it's own leading organs the st.
Louis G.Obe-DemOcrat, that the pres
ent deficit at the beginning of presi
Dental canvass is an awkward thing,
although it believes the signs are for
a steady Improvement If we are to
believe a still higher republican autho-
rity. however Chairman Tawney. of the
house appropriations committee, the
signs are for steady deterioration. At
the end of April the treasury showed a
deficit of over $5O,0OO,00O, as compared
with a surplus of over $55.0OO.0OO a
year before making a difference of
sos, 100000. BY the end of June, when
the fiscal year ends. Mr.. Tawney pre-
diets that the deficit viii reach 500
OOO 900 or So. 1000, 900. as contrast with
a surplus of sS7,0OO,OOO on June 80. 1907.
difference of $4,000 900. And as if
this were not enough, Mr.. TaWney de-
clares there will be an almost certain
deficit of not less than S150,000,000 at
the end of the next fiscal year
This big balance on the wrong side
of the ledger is attributed partly to
the falling off in revenues. caused by
the hard times, and partly to the in
creased government expenditures. The
government expenses for April, 1908,
for example. were nearly S12000,0 900 in
excess of its expenses for the same
month of 1907. Not a few papers re-
gard this increase as extravaganza.

in the Philippines was

uinistration in the Philippines was
even a partial success:
1t is generally suspected that Tafts
Philippine record, the record that is
now peddled as good campaign material
was made in Washington, being largely
based on Mr.. Taft's official reports to
the secretary of war, and the man who
actually knows what Taft did in the
faraway islands will probably be the
st man to aid the portly Ohioan in his
presidential aspirations.
Libel laws in the Philippines are so
severe that it is seldom that the news
papers there can, in safety, make in
tel!igent comment upon the actual con-
dtion of insular affairs, but the Inter
Island News, published at Zamboango,
on the Island of MindanaO. in a recent
issue. took this kind of a rap at Mr..
Taft's toy government in the Orient:
Taft is responsible for the unparal-
leled situation which exists in the
islands today in the matter of the
rights of our people before the law,
where all citizens are supposed to be
equal.
But they are not.
Should some soldier be charged with
killing or robbing a civilian, he would
be entitled to trial by jury. Should
some civilian be charged with killing
or robbing a soldier he would be denied
trial by jury.
Trial by jury is a right an Ameri-
can soldier has under the constitution
and it cannot be denied him.
Not so with an American civilian.
he has no rights which Taft is bound
to respect.
1--WE have, therefore. two classes of
American citizens in these islands
one which the constitution protects,
and one which Taft will not permit the
constitution to protect.
THE reason for Taft's denial of these
constitutional rights to American CT
villains is quite apparent. His absolute
and despOtic sway in these islands
would come to an end the moment trial
by jury was instituted.
Under Tafts government in these
islands a grand jury was forbidden I'M
til the supreme court ruled otherwise.
Many citizens We're put twice in jeop-
ardy by Taft; and to this day those
forced into the courts are being de
prived of life, liberty and property
without due process of law.
In other words, the supreme law of
the land demands trial by jury for all
alike. yet Taft denies it to all citizens
in the Philippines except soldiers
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-06-09

the act making such appropriation
must have passed both houses of con-
gress, and for this reason, the above
wire was misleading, for the small sum
mentioned had not been secured, and
the same or any other amount was
never secured by Mr.. Jones.
Give honor and credit to whom hon.
or and credit it due and you will give
to Senator Ankeny credit for an APP
propriat ton of $4,000 for a site and
public building in Walla Walla.

Editor, Statesman: In the list OF

evening, l notice that there is appar-
emily only one candidate for the office
of city attorney, Mr.. Oscar Cain, the
present holder of that title.
l don't want Mr. Cain for city attor-
ney, and l want to know what 1 am to
do about it.

don't think it is good business to
have the same man for city attorney
who is and who has been attorney for
paving company which has had extern
sive dealings with the city. 1t don't
look right to me. although l may be
too old fashioned in some Of my no.
