BRYAN, THE MAN OF THE HOUR.

Under the above caption there was
printed in the Smilkameen Star, Of
princeton, B. c., on July 10, an APP
probation of the democratic candidate
for president.
Because it is rare to see any journal,
owing allegiance to Edward VII, find
anything good in any American politi-
cal party outside of the party in power,
rather than because of any influence
tie republication of the article would
have, the editorial is reprinted here:
THE nominations for president of
the United States by the two govern
ing parties have resulted in the choice
of Taft, republican, and Bryan, demo-
crat. Between the two men there are
no great outstanding national issues
separating them. Political parties do
not differ much in any country upon
the internal affairs of state. 1t is in
regard to foreign relations or some
great upheaval affecting social condi-
tons that the lines of party are made
clear and distinct. Both nominees would
administer the affairs of state with
zeal and patriotism. 1t is, therefore,
very largely, question of personality
as between the two candidates, Tat
and Bryan.
THE Star has no ambition to in
fiuence votes one way or the other, II
it could. and it may be told to mind its
own business for little gratuitous ad-
vice. but it is built that way and can
not help it. Taft is only the shadow OF
Roosevelt. We have learned to pass
when it comes to shadows; it is the
real thing, not the substitute, which
men require in a governor or presi-
dent.
LAS Roosevelt III. Mr.. Taft would
have neither originality nor individ-
uality. being completely overshadowej
by his great predecessor and political
wet nurse Bryan, on the other hand is
without political godfather, insofar
alone, lafty, towering. the greatest
American outside of the retiring pres
ident, unblemished and remarkably
able He is a great moral force in ex-
ample and precept. Who could not be
proud of him as a member of the great
human family?
'Mossbacks, hide-bound partizans
little republicans and antiquated place
hunters will oppose him but the broad
minded liberal citizens will welcome
him as a panacea for the ills begotten
by lack Of change. Unique in person.

think up some of its defects and roar
about them.
Such places as New York and Chica-
go have outdistanced Walla Waill in
the matter Of heat this summer; so
have many other places In the heat
question as in other things the imagin-
alton plays an important part. If Wal
la Wallans became so foolish as to
imagine that their city was so much
hotter than other places they would
soon find themselves in an awful fix
and a highly Disconnected and dis
gruntled lot; all this without any
good cause.
A little warm weather will hurt no
one: at least not in Walla Walla where
as a rule the evenings are always very

SAVED AGAIN.

Once more are we saved from a long
and cruel war with Japan. The person
al pronoun plural, is American, for who
under the sun can imagine that Japan
is ready, willing or eager to fight with
anyone, save with the people of the
United States? Jingoism comedies that
Japan may have differences elsewhere;
hut jingoism holds that these are eph-
emeral and misleading and that ia
pans genuine bellicosity is really di-
rected toward this Yankee-land OF
ours.
But with each anticipated precipita
ton of a crisis brought about by rea-
son of this perennial Japanese bel
ligerency there is always some happy
event to intervene; and to save the
world from the horror and the destruc-
tiveness of an international conflict
at arms So, but a short time ago. there
was rumor to the effect that two war
ships. building in British shipyards by
order of the Brazilian government
were not intended for Brazil at ALL:
but when finished and equipped, were
to be sold to Japan.
There was denial of all this in
American officialdom, or, at least, in
that department of it which is sup
posed to be informed in such affairs.
And upon the continued nervous agi-
tation and contradiction of the jingoes,
the denial at Washington was sup
plemented by confirmation from
abroad. Upon this quiet was restored,
but scepticism was not wholly allayed.
The doubtful ones were not content to
rest under the aspersion of unwarrant-
ed alarm. There was something of un-
derground investigation across the
water; and as a result thereof we
have a sequel that is interesting.
We are told that the rumor as to
ultimate Japanese ownership of those
war vessels was true; but that dis
closure of the fact had brought about
conditions which upset the internation
al trade. We are assured that by rea
son of the lingo agitation, Japan will
not buy the ships; that what Japan
would do in the way of preparation for
trouncing this country she would do
secretly; and by not being permitted to
thus proceed, this particular warlike
project has been abandoned, and we
are saved again.
This is a pretty story, and not with
out it's dramatic interest It's curious
features lie in an unusual disclosure,
namely; that mere gossip has it's pat
riotic uses; that jingoism is mounted
on the national watch towers-at least
so far as Japan is concerned-and that
relying upon its keen vision and dang
seeming faculties, the nation may
go on about it's affairs, secure from
the belligerent plotting of the Little
belittle the jingo at his peril.

Missing,


Robert Wilson who has beer working
on the farm for E. w. Conmy for nearly
three years disappeared about July 7th
and his present whereabouts is unknown
Wilson was a man about IS years Of
age but looked and acted much younger.
He was about six feet tall, grey hair
and moustache and weighed about 100
pounds. He was unmarried and the only
relative known is a brother who IS EN-.
ployed on New York city tug-boat, but
whose first name and city address is not
known. Wilson was in the habit Of
going on periodical sprees and at such
times was physically limp. About the
18th of July he was at St.Vincent and for
some days after. A boat belonging to
the ferry was missed on the night he was
last seen and later found down the river.
It is belived he had no money of any
amount with him. He was an industri-
GUS man and had served in the navy and
army, and was entitled to pension but
for which he has never applied. It is
possible that he may have been drowned
while crossing the river, or he may have
just left without telling any one where
he was going
