DISCUSS, DON'T ARGUE.

From all over the country, and es-
pecially here in Walla Walla each day
brings fresh evidence of the awaken
ing of the people to the business OF
democracy's cause and to a realization
that the republican party, as controlled
today. is the party of the interests
rather than the party of the people.
Democracy has much TO be proud OF
this year, while most of us be-
lieve that the patriotic republicans
condition of affairs makes the secur-
ing of republican converts very easy,
and should be taken advantage of by
all party workers.
1T is patent that if Bryan is to carry
Washington and is to carry Walla
Walla county, he must secure many
votes which in 1904 went to Mr.. Roose
welt. That he will secure many of
these votes goes without saying. but
we want MIN to get all of them that he
possibly can. OF course there are some
republicans so hide pound that they
will vote the straight republican tick
ct no matter who is on it. There are
some who are republicans by preju-
dice. But the vast majority of men
who vote the republican ticket, vote it
because they believe that in so do
ing they are best serving their coun-
trys interests.
1t is this last class of republicans
who can be appealed to by democratic
workers. The Statesman has not yet
seen a republican journal defend its
platform and candidates on any high
or lofty grounds. One and all they
have held up boyle called Organism"
and have taken a punch at it. Recog-
nizing the weakness of their cause they
are trying to scare the voters into line
for Taft.
Against such campaign as this,
it behooves democrats to calmly dis
cuss the real issues involved in the
campaign, to carefully discuss the real
meaning of government guarantee of
bank deposits to carefully explain the
real meaning of this campaign against
government by injunction" to care
fully explain our party's position on the
Philippine question. TO carefully ex-
plain our party's position on the tar
iff question. In doing this there is nj
necessity for heated "argufying," there
is no necessity for the expression OF
bitter feeling, there is absolutely no ex-
cuse for appealing to prejudice.
Democracy today sounds the call fol
its every supporter. Victory can bt
had if every man who believes in tn,
principles proclaimed anew in the Den.
yer platform viii take it upon himsef
to tell his neighbor why he believes il
those principles, and why he believe.
that the most prominent exponent O
those principles, snose name happens

to this manager, the very latest and
smartest creations. Mr.. Kurzman has
just returned from Paris. bringing
with him a number of the latest Paris
designs for use in 1.-The Chorus Lady,"
"The Lion and the Mouse" and the

theatrical production.

At lastl After December / you can
ride downtown in the morning and be

Provided, Of course. that you don I
live along the route Of the Fourth street

20 come downtown hanging on TO the
eyelash OF your nearest neighbOr. But
as a general proposition you will be lots
more comfortable.
You win be comfortable TO the extent
OF sixty degrees OF heat when there is
forty degrees OF cold out on the asphalt
Just how much heat you are entitled

forty degrees is not specified.

liant men, set about TO devise some
means whereby they could make the

This was decided upon after the re-
ceipt Of a letter IN which a question
was prOpOunded. The writer asked:
viii you please tell me how d woman

skirts. can manage 10 get into a street
car, the entrance step Of which is about
three feet highE
If you can't tel me how 10 do IL,
have the cars fixed
Blame Company.
Not being accustomed TO carrying
babies or bundles. and being totally un-
familiar with skirts. the commission de-
cided that the easiest way out Of the
difficulty was, as usual, to blame IL
on the street car companies.
Therefore, a new regulation was
drawn up on the spot, providing that.
when the distance between the moor
Of the car and the rail IS thirty inches,
two steps shall be provided, sno that
after January 1. 1903. no step on any
car shall have a rise Of more than six

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-William L.
Clark. OF Brooklyn, who writes law
books, refused to go without a drink
for a few months even to gain S13.S00
Perhaps that was because he knew
that he could have the drinks and the

It was stipulated that the author
should receive 81 a page for his manu-
script. and if he abstained from intoXi-
eating liquors during the writing he
should receive S. a page. This cOndi-
ton, IL Is alleged, was not observed Dy
Mr.. Clark, and although the work was
completed and accepted within the time
set by the publisher, the latter refuS ed
