The people Of . community are

The people of a community are
quick to recognize the fact when any
one begins to think himself bigger than
the community and gooner or later
they resent IT. Many a mans down
fall comes when he begins TO think
his is the only influence that counts.
To be influential, politically or other
wise, it is necessary to be one Of the
people. -Palouse Republic.

The fruit that is begging for a
market on Nezperce prairie this fall
is of flavor and quality that would
make the irrigated product take a
back seat. 1t is indeed pity that
the market is not here. However
there is some little consolation In
the fact that fruit can be produced
here, and so easily. The market
will find it ere long.

Pass the Gas Bills!

The House having early in the session
passed the bills reducing the price of gas
10 50 cents a thousand cubic feet and
repeating the stock increase statute, the
Senate committee should move surely be-
fore adjournment to lay the two me assures
before the Senate and secure action on
them. This should be done regardless
of any new matter that may have arisen
concerning the process of manufacture
or the presence of poisonous ingredients
in the gas now furnished. That is an
issue entirely outside of those involved
in the measures now before the Senate
District committee. The House committee
may be unable to reach a conclusion on
the monoxide bill for some time. 1t is
now confronted with the question of
whether to call its own experts and how
they shall be paid. The determination of
this point may delay the final considera-
tioH of the bill to the end of the session.
Meanwhile the Senate committee is fully
informed upon the points involved in the
bills which the House has sent over. 1t
has been shown how urgently necessary
it is to repeal the stock imitation law and
gas. 1t has been made plain that the IL
luminant can be made and distributed at
81 cents a thousand with the cor
porations reaping handsome profit. 1t
is not to be expected that the Senate COM
mittee will permit the fact that the House
committee is investigating a new ques-
ton, wholly distinct from those presented
by the pending bills. to block all
gas legislation at this session. Those
bills should be reported without further
delay and promptly brought to vote
in the Senate.

failed to meet the promises and vows OF
his supporters. After four years in office
he was succeeded by republican, al
though for a generation the state had
not known a republican governor.
The reason? 1t was simple. No sooner
had the young man reached the governor
ship than his friends began to mention"
him for the presidency. And nobody took
the compliment more seriously than the
subject of it. He began to pose as the
coming leader. The conquering hero set
out to conquer further. He accepted in
vitations where he thought a speech
would advance the new cause. He talked
much But reform seemed to make no
giant strides in the commonwealth over
which he presided. The result was that
his presidential boom petered out, and in
time he followed it.
The remedy for poor officials is. not less.
but more, attention on the part or the
electors. The people should examine the
claims of all who aspire to serve IN leg
islative or executive office. They have
plenty Of time to do so. and their hlsn-
est interests demand it. They may blum
der. They often have blundered. But
nothing excuses Indifference on their
part, or a QlSpOSItIOu ~ pass NF
important a matter as the selection OF
fit men for public station.
Gov. Folk as a reformer is hull down
on the horizon. He Is no longer In the
fight. His views are not important ex-
cept as showing how things appear TO
man who has failed. Gov. Hughes as
reformer Is a conspicuous figure on the
firing line. His boom for President did
not weaken him at home or elsewhere.
He made good as governor. and. as a re-
ward, succeeded himself in office. And
Gov. Hughes inaugurates his second term
by calling his constituents to greater &C
tivity than ever at the polls. He wants
the people to make even their own nomi-
nations, and SO take the matter out OF
the hands of bosses, who, largely for per-
sonal ends, have been devoting their
thought to filling offices and dividing
other spoils.
The Hughes rather than the Folk idea Is
likely to grow. 1t conforms more strictly
TO the American system, and increases,
as it should. the popular responsibility.

The Hobsons and the Hattoris.

The anti-Japanese deliverance of the
Nevada legislature is deplorable OH every
account but chiefly SO through the danger
of becoming an Indictment to personal
violence We have seen the effect OH a
few college boys of the agitation In the
California legislature. The same spirit
might he famed into flame in Nevada,
and if it should the consequences might
ba grave. If in some mining camp or
camps, where life is rough and men are
tough. mob, inspired by this legislative
belligerency, should destroy the property
and take the lives of the few resident
Japanese, very serious situation would
arise.
In order to properly appreciate matters
we must consider the fact that there is
an anti-American spirit in Japan, as there
is an anti-Japanese spirit in America.
Count Komura, minister of foreign af-
fairs. in addressing the lower house of
the Japanese diet yesterday, gave assur-
ances of peace with America upon stable
lines. He spoke with full knowledge of
government information and government
intention. But he was followed by a
leader. of the opposition party, who taunt-
ed the government with cowardice in its
attitude toward America. Japan was be-
ing bullied by America: had been forced
to sign the recent note delivered to Amer
lea on the subject of Japanese and Amer
lean interests in China and the Pacific
ocean.
With us the government is accused of
cowardice in its attitude toward Japan.
We are being bullied by Japan. The big
stick. it is asserted. is being flourished
over American heads practically at ia
pans instance. And while we are obeyng
her orders in questions of local legisla-
ton, she is Strengthening herself to hum
BILE us further in war. We are blind, or
worse. Presently We shall be aroused in
the rudest way, and then enormous sacri-
fees in blood and treasure must be made
to regain our standing in the world.
Judge Taft is as well disposed toward
Japan as Mr.. Roosevelt. He understands
the eastern situation better than Mr..
Roosevelt. With Japan's cooperation, he
will continue the present policy, and keep
in the friendliest touch with her in the
matters embraced in the recent notes ex-
changed between the two governments.
He will be in Office for at least four
years. But should the present japanese
ministry fall as the result of anti-Ameri-
can attacks, and the new ministry take
Office with an anti-American chip showing
on its shoulder, what would follow? How
would it be possible for the Taft admins
tration to work for peace and good will
effectively?
In both countries the friends of peace
have important work to do. They must
exert themselves to nullify the activity Of
the mischiefmakers- The Hobsons in
America and the Count Hattoris in Japan
are heading in the same direction. They
want war. They win certain amount Of
applause. They are all the more danger
Gus because of the unrest which just now
is sweeping over the world. At time
when quiet is necessary, and the great
majority in both Japan and America want
quiet. the agitators for war are pulling
the cords of the alarm bells with all their
might.

Foolishness About Japan.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
We pay poor compliment to the
Japanese when we assume that they are
perpetually in such a state of nerves
that the nation will be thrown into war
like excitement whenever anything I'M
pleasant happens to an individual Japan
csc traveller or resident in the United
States There is reason to believe. on
the contrary. that the Japanese are very
sensible people, and that the nervousness
exists only in American newspapers and
among some American officials, who
would much better serve both their own
country and Japan, and civilization gen.
orally, If they would conduct themselves
with more seemly reticence. A Japanese
student at the University of California
was attacked, though not seriously in
jured, by some young men, whether fell
low-students or street rowdies is not as
certained. The japanese vice consul at
San Francisco regards the attack as a
trivial police court case" which is evil
IDENTIFY all that it is. But various people
who are without responsibility regard it
as of grave international Importance,
which Is pernicious nonsense.

Twenty-four hours of the second Gu

to indicate rough sailing ahead for this
ship of state in the subtropiss. The
president, Gen. Gomez. instead of seek
ing at the outset to placate the existing
animosities. and to assume at least the
outward guise Of friendliness toward
the United States. has defiantly thrown
down the gauntlet by dismissing Senior
Jerez, the efficient head of the secret po-
lice, whose work during the American
Intervention has been wholly satisfac-
tory. In his place the president an
nounces the appointment of blatant
nti-American, "a man whose course has
been VIGOROUSLY offensive to Americans
and to the best element Of the Cubans.
