Former Resident Of Walia WalIa Of

Gustav Steinke, for many years a
resident of Walla Walla. but for the
last two years resident of Seattle,
was a visitor at the Statesman office
this morning, with thet following COM
plant:
Il lived in Walla Walla about 80
years, and for the past two or three
years l have been in Seattle. While
there read much of the advancement
that Walla Wal!a lis making and sup
posed the town was forging rapidly
ahead. But imagine my surprise when
l found there is not water fountain,
on the street. No place, from the
Northern Pacific depot to the o. r.

one wet his parched throat. 1t seems
to mel the city ought to be able to af-
ford this luxury. Please quote me as

pulp be put on the free list It was
impossible to get a hearing on the floor
of the house for a measure to this eff
feet. John Sharp Williams. the dem
ocratlc leader on the floor, secured the
signature of every democrat in the
house in behalf of the presidents pro-
position, and then he begged the re-
publican majority to cast Just thirty
votes in favor of having the measure
taken up, and with the aid of the
democrats it would be discussed ard
passed Exactly one republican re-
sponded. That was another way in
which a. republican majority. domi-
mated by = Cannon, supported the
presidents policies. President Roose-
Welt must hasel a more forgiving dis
position than lie is generallrssl,pposed
to possess. if, IN the face of cne record
of the sixtieth congress, he thinks a
republican congress, headed by Can
non, will necessarily be an aid to Will

judge M. j. Wade, chairman of the

Wade Justifies Union Men.

Labor has the right to attack Can
non in the way it is now doing, be-
cause it was through his influence and
authority the measures asked for by
representatives Of wOrkingmen were
not merely defeated, but were refused
hearing on the floor Of the house.
When i was in congress I felt this
business Of pigeon holing measures
urged by any large and respectable
section of our people was un-Ameri-
can and unjustifiable.
Reference to committees Is all well.
1t is necessary to have a bill properly
threshed over by a sWaller body than
the whole house of representatives,
but reference to committee with the
understanding that the chairman of
that committed will never permit the
bill to come out of the pigeonhole is
an absolute denial of the right every
American citizen should have to urge
his needs upon the legislative body
which has the power to initiate and
enact national laws.
Il am not surprised that after the
discourteous treatment
which Samuel Gompers and other rep
resentativeS of organized labor re-:
ceived at the hands of Cannon and the
sO-called Big Five of the house of
they have sworn un-
relenting hostility to the whole group.
The situation so far as Cannon's dis
trict is concerned, has become a ma
tional issue. The democratic national
committee is as much interested in it
as could be the state committee or
til congressional committee It is i'm
possible for me to doubt this year Can
non will be retired from congress and
a democrat will succeed him as
speaker. 1t is labor's last chance to
prove itself coherent political force"
