Editor Statesman:
While your editorial of yesterday
evening, relative to the Walla Waila
exhibit at the Spokane apple show,
seems to have created something OF
stir in certain circles, it had the righ'
tang. and should result in change
,ch will eventually rebound to the
good of, not only the city, but this sec
ton of the state. / do not wish to be
placed in the category of knockers
for have the welfare Of the city Who'll
ly at heart; but the present incumbent
of the secretary's chair of the CONNER
cial club is hardly the right man in
the right place.
Years of experience with railroad in
terests and corporations have incul-
Gated in Mr.. Moore that secrecy which
is almost directly opposed to develop
ment work, and in consequence the
publicity part of the work which fall'
under his supervision and should be
made one of the special features, is
sadly neglected. In addition to that
there is at times, I believe, a feeling
of encouragement manifest in the work
Of the secretary, preventing him from
taking that interest in the work which
would be shown by man who had al
ways been booster" and natural
born promoter.
It must be admitted. however, that
the Commercial club, itself, is at fault
in one respect; that is in the plan OF
compelling it's secretary to chase al
over town every month for the collec-
ton of dues which should be paid al
the office by members who are inter-
ested enough and enterprising enough
to give that much thought to the club
Or a small boy might be secured to
make the collections and thus permit
the man with the influence-the secre-
tary-to give his whole attention to
the work of exploiting the resources
Of this country and in giving it the
widest possible publicity.

STILL ON GUARD.

An amusing feature of the post
campaign discussion is the eXhuber-
ance shown by socialist publications
and writer's at what they are pleased
TO call the demise OF the democracy.
Wilshire's Magazine, which next to that
misnamed publication, The Appeal to
Reason, is the leading socialist pubilca-
ton in the country, devotes lot OF
its editorial space in the current issue
10 telling how, since the democratic
party is out of the way forever. the
socialists are now getting ready for
battle royal with our republican friends
in 1912.
If the democratic party was really
dead. these surmises would be interest
ing. 1t does not take a very vivid i'm
agination to see that did it come to
a choice between the republican party
and the socialist party, the former
would not get all of the recruits.
Acting wholly on the theory that
such a division of political sentiment
would result simply in seven million
voters making choice of two evils, 1t
would be easy to see that many of them
would prefer the absolute destruction
of individualism, which socialism prom
Uses, to the absolute control Of the cOun-
try by the moneyed interests, which is
Enthusiastically the tendency of present
day republicanism. The present policy
of protective tariff, coupled with the
infamous emergency currency law
now on the statute books, will, if car
ried out, bring about a condition close
ly approaching the serfdom of Russia.
AS long as there was free land-and
free land means an opportunity for eco
nOmic freedom-this danger was not
apparent. But the free land of the
United States is practically gone now,
and each year that tariff takes from
the many to enrich the few, each year
goal of economic slavery
But the democratic party is not dead
yet. and it still stands guard, a bulwark
against the destruction of individual
ism on the one side and against the
enslavement of the masses on the other
However much a rabid press may
scream for radical changes, however
much strongly entrenched money
power may plead for -four years more
of prosperity" the fact remains, true
today as it ever was true, that a party
which, while maintaining individual
opportunity and promoting ambition
and progress, yet resists all claims OF
privilege. is the party of the people
and as such is the nations safeguard

GREATER WHITMAN COLLEGE

The steps taken for Greater Whit
man college, will surely bear fruit.
From a modest beginning Whitman
college promises to develop into one
of the great educational institutions Of
the country-possibly ranking with
Yale and Harvard and Princeton and
Columbia-an institution that will
have have far-reaching effects, one
that will be the pride, not only Of
the great northwest, but of the nation.
The congress of notable men and dis
tinguished educators which assembled
at Walla Walla on Tuesday and We'd
neSday OF this week gave impulse to
a movement that is sure to be marked
with success. DIR. D. K. Pearsons of
Chicago was there, the man who has
done so much for Whitman in finan-
cial way in the past and will do more
in the future, crowned with SO years
of a we'll spent life, a living monument
OF what can be done and an inspiration
to the young to seek the higher levels.
Addressing the students in the chapel
Monday morning DR.. Pearsons spoke
words of wisdom when he said: Boys,
go back to the soil. Build up your bod
les by raising potatoes instead of by
playing football; build up character
instead of frittering away your time
Take advantage of the wonderful op-
portunities about you. Take hardship
while young, if need be, but provide
for rainy day. Dumb bells are all
right but young men should get busy
with the hoe instead of with play
things
Plans for new buildings for Whitman
college have been drawn, which, it is
estimated, will take three years to
complete. In size and architectural
beauty they will compare with the
best. Fully equipped with every edu-
cational appliance it will be possible
for the American youth to reach the
ne plus ultra.
Whitman College. founded by a self
sacrificing itinerant minister of the
gospel and named after martyred
hero, is the pride of all our people,

Coat Was Stolen.

f. A. Waters reported to the police
this morning that he was robbed last
night of an overcoat, pair of driving
gloves and a, tOboggan cap while at
tending the religious services in the
Central Christian church, the articles
having been taken from his buggy
which was standing near the church.
The police are working on the case
Although people have been frequently
warned against the practice of leaving
articles of value in their vehicles, thew
continue to do it, and almost every day
the theft of packages and parcels is
reported to the police.

Rise In Land Values.
Editor Statesman:

Editor Statesman:
l want to call your attention to the
fact that WalIa Walla is on the verge
of a real boom. :.
l make this deduction from the rap
id increase in land values, particu-
larly along the, railroads in the north
western part of the city.
l have noticed that the price of land
in this part of the city has shown
marked tendency to soar skyWard
of late and can only attribute this to
the fact that there must be something
in the rumors of some large manu-
featuring plants soon to be built there

Well Groomed Hands.

A well groomed hand is a rarity,
even though many people are careful
about the nails. The hands show age
much quicker than the face, for few
people spend as much time on the
hands as they do on the face, and
then the hands are in water more than
the face, with the result that they are
drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft
and white hands are best acquired by
night treatment. Use a toilet cream
that agrees with the skin, and rub 1t in
thoroughly before retiring, being espe-
cially careful to rub and massage the
knuckles well. Then slip on a loose
pair of gloves to keep the cream on
the hands. Red hands are caused by
poor circulation and often by tight
cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often
make the hands red and leave marks
on them from the seams In the gloves.
The only way to effect a cure is to
remove the cause.

voILEs IN PRETTY DESIGNS.
Popular Summer Material Is OF All
Shades and C~oIorinss.

The new silk voiles are in countless
pretty designs. Over a foundation of
black, green, blue, light and dark, are
large and small squares. marked off in
thin white lines. On the edge, to be
used as trimming, are four or FIVE satin
bands of different widths, in the plain
color. A silk wolfe in squares of black
and white has on its border four bands
of black velvet edged with orange, pea.
cock blue or cherry. The most exclu.
sive houses are using this material,
each n usually combining itself to one
color.
Quite unusual Is the wolfe of natter
blue, lined of with white. Woven in
the border is a cashmere band, the
colors h~armonizing beautifully with the
shade of blue. A red wolfe, stamped
with white lozenges, with a cashmere
band framed in lines of white, is Who'll.

and low, sleeveless bodice over a white

Trimmed skirt FavorItes.

Now that 1t is the fashion to trim
the bottom Of the skirt with one deep
fold every woman seems to be adopt
ing 1t, whether 1t Is becoming or
not.
Decidedly 1t is not when the wearer
is short or unduly stout, as 1t cuts the
height, the wearer's height apparently
ending where the fold begins. If. how
ever, she will slash the deep fold In
several places. and round of every
corner. she will be able to wear this
up-to-date style most successfully.
Only a small detail, but a most i'm.

HAVE THE MONOGRAM FAD.
Initials on Everything 10 the Rule
Now with the Girls.

Girls have gone monogram mad
might be thought by the way initials
are in evidence! The background may
be silk, satin or wash material; II may
be leather or metal; in some way or
another the owners monogram Is in
troduced, and by no means inconspicu.
oIsly either.
On purses the letters are governed
entirely by the size of the portmon-
male, but as a rule the initials are de-
tached rather than being run together.
Travelling bags for girls who will
move about this summer are not con.
sidered equipped until the owners
initials are put on. For this the let
tiers are as plain as those in the al
phabet of a child, and each is separate.
They are placed quite lear the top, at
the middle of the side. Occasionally
they are to be een on the end, but
this is regarded as a freak. Brass let
tiers are preferred to those of nickel
The newest key rings that girls
may have for themselves or use as
gifts end in a single'initial letter. The
plain cushions for hammocks or loung'
ing chairs are embellished in huge
initials, sometimes of brass. In the
latter case they are thin, though wide
and when on a tan leather background
are certainly decorative.
Wash blouses show the monogram
done, preferably in small letters, on the
left side of the front; hosiery has q
single letter on the instep.
