The extraordinary popularity Of
moleskin nowadays sets people won
dering how they ever got along with
out it. In the past it was called iron
or elephant gray, and there was a
great rage some dozen years ago for
suits Of mole color In covert coating, a
material which, except for covert
coats, is seldom thought Of In these
times. Mole seems to have taken an
established place among the colors.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN.

In the presidents last message ne
says. in discussing the trust question:
Thus the corporations monopollzlhS
commerce made the law for themselves,
state power and common law Delng III
a1eouate to accomplish any effective
regulation, ard the national power not
vet having been put forth. The result
was mischievous in the extreme, ana
only short sightedness and utter IAN
ure to appreciate the grossness OF the
evils to which the lack OF regulation
gave rise can excuse the Well-meanlns
nersons who now desire to abolish the
antitrust law outright, or to amend II
nv simply condemning unreasonable,
combinations"
What does the president mean? II
was Secretary Taft who suggested that
the present law be amended by insert
ing the word unreasonable. 1his
nroposed amendment has been oe-
nounced by the opponents OF the llu9'
as an attempt to emasculate the law. Al
present it is only necessary to prove
that a conspiracy to restrain trade eA
serted in the law it would be necessary
to prove not only that the restraint eH-
listed. but that it was an 'unreasoh
able" restraint, and this would TRANSFER
the question from the jury to the Juose
In his speech delivered at Memorla
bau Columbus. O., August 10, 1907, MI
Taft said:
.T am inclined to the opinion that the
time is near at hand for an amendment
of the anti trust law, defining IN more
datai, the evils against which IL Il
aimed making clearer the distnctioi
between lawful agreements reasonably
restraining trade and those Whlcn die
pernicious in their effect
It was supposed that Secretary 1al'

ton taken by Secretary TAFT.
Gan this mean that the pres1deh'

the president intend by this paragraph

people.
"Co-operative capital would, under
these conditions, be readily furnished
by the people generally for the develop
ment of our resources with great benefit
to the whole country, instead, as under
present conditions, the corporations be-
ing controlled and manipulated for the
benefit of a comparatively few.
"All railroads, excepting city street
railways, are doing interstate business,
and should be chartered and controlled
by the national government. There were
no railroads at the time our constitu-
ton was made and the sooner the ma
tional government assumes the respOn-
sibility the better for the country. Any
regulation by the states will be spas

which is rarely the case, will be large

possibility to separate state from inter
rortation is very important and of
enormous magnitude, and is steadily
increasing, demanding more attention

department in our government for that
eve regret very much the omission

least burdensome of all direct taxes.
But to be effective it has to be national
for all incomes within the domain of
the United States. Adding a certain
percentage on each additional $4,000 of
income above the first and consecutive
ly would be just and fair. as each ad-
ditiOnal income is more Of a luxury. In
come tax would be effective in adding
revenue from sources which can anG
should bear a larger proportion than at
present. The same reasons apply to the
inheritance tax which we also fail to
sec in the platform.
In regard to the labor problem we
fail to see anything definite In the
platform. A firm declaration in favor of
tie inalienable rights ard privileges of
all who labor in order to support them
selves and families, if not interfering
with the rights of others, against boy
colts. sympathetic strikes, and dictation
and interference with labor and en-
ployers, if accompanied with definite
proposals for the steady improvement
of the conditions of the labOring classes,
would be better
I'm conclusion it is our opinion that
while the national republican platform
is carefully constructed to concilliate
large factions of the party. and V
have the effect of apparent unity, yet
it is disappointing to those who wouo
have liked to see the so-calIed 'Roose

THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

For chief of police the city demands
first of all a man of unimpeachable
character.
In addition to this qualifica ton, the
man must be one trained in the art of
catching criminals and wise to the ways
Of the underworld. He must also be
man of indomitable courage, of restless
energy and of determined purpose
Such a man is Emil Sanderson the
peoples candidate for chief of police.
whose name will be found in the dem =
Ocratic column. He i the candidat
of all of the people, not part of the peo-
pie. Sanderson's record speaks for it
self. It is clean and wholesome clear
through, and judging the future solely
by the past. the conclusion is inevitable
that Sanderson Will make the best CHEZ
Of police Walla Walla has ever seen. He
will play no favorites.
The breath of suspicion has never
been raised against Emil Sanderson
the shadow Of scandal has never
crossed his path; the knowing wink OF
the "stand-in" element has never beer
directed at him.
Sanderson has lived in Walla Walla
practically all of his life. and during al
that time he has never swerved fron
the paths of honesty. He has always
gone forward, doing his duty as he saw
it. without fear or favor
He has had experience on the police
force. and proved himself good thief
catcher. but when the administration OF
the marShaFS Office was not in keeping
with his ideas of right and wrong, ht
di3 not hesitate to surrender his stal
and club and return to the walks OF pri-
waite life.

SandersOn proved himself a capable
and a fearless officer. His absolute fesr
lessness has been demonstrated
In addition to his experience in pc
lice offices in Nalla Walla. he was 70
three years connected with the man

Tertiary. where he had unlimited oppor
