GROWTH OF TOWNS

In the news columns of this
paper appears report of the
growth of the towns of Whitman
county as shown by County Audi
tor Duncan as annual report. This
shows the increase in taxable
wealth of the Various towns of the
county. The report. as issued. is
somewhat misleading and does not
give Pullman full credit for its
growth.
The report shows that Palouse
has made the greatest growth, or
the largest increase in taxable
wealth. That is, Palouse has made
the largest per cent. of gain in
taxable wealth. Garfield is sec
ond and Pullman third
The report covers period of
l3 years, from 1895 to 1908. inclu-
sive. In 1895 Palouse was but a
small village, its taxable wealth
being placed at $315,40O. Since
that time two new railroads have
been built into Palouse. and the
saw mill has been increased in size
and capacity many times. Gar
held has had a new line Of rail
road to add to its taxable wealth.
There is no denying the fact
that Pullman has made the great
est growth Of any town in Whit
man county in the past ten years.
but it has been a growth Of homes
and state buildings. Each home
owner has had an exemption of
$500 and more than 500 homes
have been added to Pullman s
population in that time. An eX-

Pullman has been the mecca of
many representatives of varied
business interests this week. They
came to bid on the contracts to be
awarded for Washington State
College, the institution that has
done SO much to make Pullman the
leading town Of the PaIouse coun-
try and build it up in every way,
That Pullman will always be the
most important town in Whitman
county cannot be doubted and
each year sees it forging further
ahead. 1t now attracts more
visitors, both for business and
pleasure, than any three towns in
the county and it has more CON
yentions and large gatherings Of
people in year than all other
towns combined.

HONEST AND COMPETENT

Marion E. Hay, governor of
Washington, has won the esteem
and respect of all by his firm
stand for thorough investiga-
ton of the state Offices against
which the finger Of suspicion had
been pointed. Governor Hay has
shown himself the right man in the
right place. He is fearless honest
and aggressive. He has seen his
duty and dared to do it. There
may have been doubt in the minds
Of many when the governor first
urged an investigation, that such
step was needed, but when the
corrupt gang in the Legislature,
headed by Senator Ruth, who
proved to be the leader and
champion of all that is rotten and
disreputable, made such a vigor-
Gus fight against an investigation.
there were but few people IN the
state who did not believe that an
investigation was needed.
AS the investigation progressed
the mess of rottenness IN Official
dom became 50 apparent that
nothing short Of a thorough III
vestigation of every state office,
whether suspicion had been arous-
ed against it or not, will satisfy
the people. Governor Hay has
placed himself in the front rank
of great men and now stands with
Governor Folk, La Toilette, and
Heney, as an upright Official, OPP
posed to all manner OF graft and
crooked work. The state OF Wash
ington is exceedingly fortunate
in having such governor who re
fleets honor and credit upon the
state and party of which he is a
member.
Washington is now taking first
rank among the states III which
corruption has ruled There have
been many exposures Of rotten
ness in official life which have
shocked the nation, but few have
been more fragrant than that
shown in Washington. 1t needs
a strong man at the head OF the
state in such a time and the peo-
pie of Washington are to be con-
graduated upon having a strong,
Young. vigorous and honest
governor at this critical time.
While the disgrace is deep one.
it will not permanently injure
the state, if all the rottenness is
exposed and the guilty punished.
It is hard blow to the republican
party. or would be, if it were not
that Ortis Hamilton, eX-adjutant
general, who has been charged
with being the greatest CRATER
and criminal of the lot, were not a
democrat. Neither the state nor
any political party is responsible
for the grating and other dis
honest and disreputable practices
of these men. But the state and
the dominant party will be re
sponsible if they are allowed to
retain their position or escape
punishment for their crime. 1t is
not enough to permit man to re-
sign and retire to private life
with all his ill-gotten gains. lie
should be severely punished for
having betrayed his friends, his
party and his state.

With hattering reports Of bright
crop prospects in all directions,
and the certainty of good prices !;
with the largest acreage ever
soWn, and the cost of Irvine, sacks,
caol, machinery and everything
the farmer needs, declining, the
outlook before the farmers in the
vicinity of Pullman is indeed en-
couraging. With the farmers
more than usually prosperous
the college growing and increased
appropriations for its maintenance
and the price Of both farm and
town property advancing, Pull
man indeed has cause to be thank
full.

A SPEECH DELIVERED SEVEN
MONTHS AGO.

Here would be a good motto to have
hanging on the wall over the Presidents
desk during the consideration of the
bill drawn up by Messrs. Payne and
Aldrich:
BETTER TO HAVE NO RE
VISION AT ALL UNLESS WE ARE
GOING HONESTLY AND FAVOR
ABLY TO REVISE THE TARIFF ON
THE BASIS PROMISED BY OUR
PARTY"
This is no extract from any speech
made by some despised insurgent ike
Nelson or Deliver. 1t is a sentence
taken from a stirring, straightforward,
patriotic speech made by President Taft
seven months ago in New York before
the Ohio Society.
Now that the task is before him Of
dealing with bill that betrays party
promises and outrages public sentiment
from ocean to ocean, we hope the
President will show that he meant
what he said.

are all called beautiful" whether the
picture makes them look so or not.
The moving picture machine has only
one opponent in this country, and that
is the actor. The differences between
these opponents of old and new forms
of dramatic entertainment will doubt
less be overcome in time. In France
the most celebrated actors and actresses
contribute TO the moving picture gal
leTy and the ablest playwrights pre-
pare sketches for reproduction. The
canned drama has come to stay-at
least for a while. So, too, we are to
have canned history-President Taft

that has come 20 it, and making the
most of it. French civilization has
been development by processes of
avulsion. Are Americans more like the
English or the French in this regard?
Perhaps the time has not yet come
when we should expect the asperities
and bitterness of the war period to be
laid aside There have been errors on
both sides. Georgia erected a monu-
ment to Writ, the commandant of the
Andersonville prison, which looked too
much like a defiance of the sentiments
of the North. 1t caght not to have

of the extremes of expression to be in

from some Northern quarters anent the

No Half HOLIDAYS.

There is no prospect OF the letter
carriers being permitted to avail them
selves OF the Saturday half holiday
This is the fat that has gone forth
from the Postmaster Generals Office
and applies not only to Washington, but
10 the entire postal service. It has
been decided by Postmaster General
Hitchcock and his advisers that 1t is
not practicable 10 give the letter car
riers q half holiday
In the original executive order, pro-
viding a half holiday for the employees
Of the executive departments on Satur-
days during the summer, all depart
ments Of the public service were pro-
vided for. The attention Of the Presi-
dent was directed TO the conditions that
would result in the postal service by the
application of the order TO the letter
carriers and the railway mail service,

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
It is no wonder those who love
square deal ask why the clerks and
carriers Of the local postoffice are not
enjoying the Saturday half holidays.
When President Taft issued an order
on July declaring Saturdays in July,
August, and September a half holiday
for those in Federal public service.
wherever employed, ne certainly had in
mind one of the largest institutions un-
der Government control, the Postofice
Department. still this Executive order
has been ignored in many instances.
The letter carrier is compelled by early
hours of employment 10 rise at 5 a. M
and during the hot season when to sleep
at that hour is paradise. he must be at
his work. regardless of his sleepless
nights of sweltering midsummer.
At this time when Congress is about
to adjourn, and there is a general ex-
odus of business men and Washington
puts on its mOrgue-iike aspect the hard
working letter carrier could well be
spared making the unnecessary last de-
livery of Saturday, with business houses
closed.
Bricklayers, as we'll as bankers, me-
chanics OF all crafts, and employees OF
the largest department stores and BUSH
ness hOues. enjoy their half holidays.
yet the letter carrier is not compared
with the hodcarrier in that respect.
II is said the proprietors Of several
Of Washington's largest industrials
would heartily indOrse any plan that
might allow the clerks and carriers of
the local postOffice to enjoy four hours
holiday made legal by President Taff's
order of June s, 1909. COG.
