WHEAT is MOVING.
Over $4,000 Bushels Sold at Walla
Walla.

VAIN.
During the past three days 1t is
estimated that about $4,000 bushels
of wheat have changed hands in
Walla. and grain buyers OF the city
have been unusually busy, which is
a striking contrast to the activity Of
business along this line during the
past few days Of this month.
Since about December /, there has
been practically no buying Of wheat,
and the walla Walla grain market
has been in a dormant state, but Sat-
urday It opened with a rush, and
since then has been unusually active.
Most of this wheat was purchased at
75 cents for Club and II cents for
Bluestem, but it is claimed that the
farmers are now holding off until the
price goes to 80 cents. One firm in
this city has purchased about $780,
900 bushels since the market opened.
other firms are buying on about the
same average.

anything? The first person singular always has been very dear to the heart of man, and ever will, we suspect. Old Adam started it, and we have no doubt it was chronic with him. We imagine he spent a good deal of his time in his later days explaining to the admiring multitudes gathered about him how "I' did this and 1T" did that back in the days before Eden went democratic and he lost his office! Neither do we doubt that Eve blew her own horn tremendous ly and triumphantly at the sewing circle meetings of her day and time.
 "I" is the biggest individual in this world-to hear ''I'' tell it! And 1T" is generally on the job telling! "I" has won more battles, saved more states, overturned more thrones, worked more good, fed more people, made more mon ey, accomplished more things, guessed right more times, and disappointed few. CT hopes than anybody and everybody else put together, according to "I's" way of looking at it!
 It is doubtful that the world is grow ing less egotistical. Philosophers may wish--or pretend to wish--it were so; but it isn't. The world is contracting; growing smaller-not physically, of course, but socially. One 1T" covers more territory than it used to, perhaps. For instance, when MT. Rockefeller says "I" did so and SO, it makes a noise that travels all the way from Columbus, Ohio, to Tokyo, Japan, and back home the other way aroundi When MT. Car negie says "I," something is liable to drop in South America or South Africa, as the case may be! When Oyster Bay hears the sound of booming "I," the inhabitants of Guam likely as not hunt up the local seismoTaph to see where the trouble and excitement isl
 These, however, are the "I's" that really count. They are the "I's" that are able to stand the acid test for genu- ineness, as it were. They serve to drown the chorus of small ''I's" in large measure; and it is because we can't hear the plea of the little fellows for the din of the big ones that we are sometimes prone to wonder if there are not fewer "I's'' at work than there used to be.
 The world may rest assured, We fan cy, that there are just as many "I's'' talking today as there ever were. The great majority of them have to take it out on their wives and children, to be sure, but they are with us still-never fearl The average "I," however, is generally in too much of a rush during business hours to bother himself with the other "I's" that may want to tell him things.

of the tariff even should revision bill be prepared by democratic house, and the American EcouoAist goes him one better by declaring that if the house should be republican by small major ity, there would be enough reform re- publicans to join with the democrats in genuine revision of the tariff. AS the elections will undoubtedly increase the number of progressive republicans in both senate Snd house, the idea that MT. Bryan would be unable to make good with hostile senate and small majority or none in the house should not be accepted without some grains of allowance. Contrariwise, if MT. Taft should be confronted with an unwork- able republican majority or none at all, is there any reason to suppose that he would not command the support of both houses for genuine measures of reform7
 Tn other words, the next house, whether controlled by one party or by the other, promises to be reformatory body; and should the partisan majority be small, the chances will be improved for legislation by the real majority, that majority composed of those who are sub stantially of like mind in matters affect ing the body polite, instead of those who merely wear party label and go under the yoke of the speaker more or less willingly or unwillingly. It is a prospect that may well alarm the stand pat element, particularly that element which hopes for the election of large republican majority pledged to the sus- tentation of high protective police

POSSIBILITIES OF THE NEXT
 HOUSE

The New York Times presents a re- view of the congressional campaign showing that the democrats have the best chance they have had in fifteen years to control the next house. At the same time there is a possibility that the republicans may increase their majority in the Sixty-frst congress. It all de- bends on the way the presidential cleo tion goes, the probability being that the party gaining the presidency will con trol the house. The reason for expect ing swing one way or the other is that both parties have number of very close districts in which the change of relative ly few votes would alter the complexion of the representation from those dis. tricts. There are thirty four districts in the northern and western states where the last republican plurality was less than 2,O0O. Iii fifteen of these the plurality was less than 1000. On the other hand, there are thirty-two demo- cratic districts where change of 1000 votes would elect republican represent ative. But these districts are mainly in rock-ribbed democratic states, so that the advantage in the matter of close dis tricts is with the democratic party. If the democrats should hold their own and carry all the close republican districts, they would obtain majority in the house of eleven, scarcely enough for working purposes, but it would require something like Bryan landslide to ac- complish this result, according to the writer in the Times.
 A fair conclusion from all the facts would seem to be that the next house will be controlled by narrow margin, whichever party wins, for nobody ex- poets for the present moment that either candidate for the presidency will com mand an overwhelming majority of either the popular or the electoral vote. Considering the affinity of certain re- publican with democratic policies, it is at least possibility that the political complexion of the house may not entire ly determine the course of legislation. We notice that some of the standpatters take view of the prospects for tariff revision in consonance with this the ory. w. F. Wakeman, secretary of the American Protective Tariff league, for exabple, in letter to the New York Press, makes the remarkable admission that there are twenty-two republican senators who would join in revision

REFLECTIONS OF
 A BACHELOR GIRL

Love is dizzy flight in a bal loon; marriage the downward plunge into cold water.
 The woman who has nothing but boy children may take some conso- lation in the fact that none of them is doomed to grow up and marry man like his father.
 Some men make love with the skill and finish of child practic- ing five finger exercises-the only difference being that in time the child learns better.
 Whether man admires constancy in the woman he loves or not de- bends q great deal on whether she is constant to him or to the rival he is trying to cut out.
 When man wants woman to do anything beneath her he usually starts out by telling her how much above such things he knows she is.
 It is toss up whether it is more annoying to have husband who gets jealous at everything or more mortifying to have one who gets jealous at nothing.
 "Just once more" is the devil s best argument.
