FARMERS ARE OUR FRIENDS

Pullman has been greatly bene-
fitted by the convention of farm

men, upon whom the prosperity o
the country depends, were well
treated by the people of Pullman
and the College faculty aud the

appreciated it. Many favorable
comments were made by the yisi-
tors, who take home with them
a favorable impression and a
friendly feeling for Pullman and
the college.
Such conventions as are held
here are all of an uplifting ma

WILL INVESTIGATE

The legislative Investigating
committee is coming to Pullman to
investigate Washington State
College. The committee wants to
know what is done with the funds
supplied the college by the nation
al government. One DR. Beach.
who led the saloon element in the
legislature in their fight against
everything decent and honest. has
been suddenly filed with fear that
the national government will be
dcfrauded. 1t never occurred to
the great (?( DR. Beach that the
national government is amply able
to care for itself and protect its
interests without his tatherly and
watehful care. Had he really
wanted to know how much money
was received. what is done with it
and how and where it is kept, as
he declared in his charge to the
committee there is 40 way of as
certaining," he had but to read
the reports which are given to
every member of the legislature.
Had he devoted some of the time
he spent in fighting the battles of
the saloons and breweries to read
ing and studying the reports of the
state institutions, he would not
have made such an ignoble dis
play of his ignorance
President Bryan, Of the college,
and treasurer Barnard. of the
board OF regents, have fully ex-
planned through the Herald, just
how much money is received; how
it is received and when; and
where kept and how expended.
The national government at Wash
ington needs no instructions from

DIR. Beach as to checking up its
expenditures. Every item for
which this money is expended
must be correctly reported and a
voucher must accompany the bill
before it is paid. These vouchers
are filed away and once each year
a representative of the govern
ment comes to Pullman. inspects
and checks over every voucher,
and sees each member Of the eX-
pertinent staff separately. Every
thing is as thoroughly inspected as
a national bank or a post office.
1t would be no more out Of place
for DR. Beach TO demand that the
legislative committee inspect the
First National Bank of Pullman,
or the Pullman post office, than to
investigate the handling Of the
money given to the college by the
national government
The state has absolutely moth
ing to do with these funds and it
is none of the states business.
Recent developments at Olympia
show clearly that the state of
Washington has no call to try to
show the national government how

TO ADVERTISE PULLMAN

Pullman people will be asked to
assist the Commercial Club in
raising funds to advertise the
town and surrounding country at
the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposi-
tion on Monday, June IA, which
has been designated as Pullman
Day. by the fair management 1t
is planned to have a float. or per-
haps several floats, to be hauled
through the business section of the
city of Seattle. when the cadets
make their parade through the
town. 1t is desired by the club
to have something unique and
which will attract attention.
This is a worthy cause and one
in which every property owner
is interested. 1t will not cost a
great sum and there is no doubt
that the town will be benefited
thereby Pullman has many at
fractions to offer the homeseeker
and the great fair will be visited
by hundreds of persons from the
east, and from our own and neigh
boring states, who are seeking
homes. We have all that is de
sirable, i'll a good, clean, moral
town, with the best educational
facilities to be found in the north
west 1t is up to us to advertise
it. Put not your light under a
bushel, but let it shine out" is a
divine command which Pullman
cannot afford to ignore. We will
probably never have as good an
opportunity to do such effective
advertising with so little cost as
will be offered by the exposition
on Pullman Day.
