WALLA WALLA DAY.

Thursday, September %, is Walla
Walla day at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. More than two
months away is the day when the
Garden City of the Northwest will
have its innings at the fair. But it is
not too early to begin to plan on at
tending the exposition at that time.
Plans can and should be regulated
for the summer so that when the day
comes there will be a goodly repre-
sentation of this city at the Seattle
fair.
For it is up to this city to make a
good showing on that day. Other
towns of the Pacific Northwest, rivals
of Walla Walla, have made good
showings at the fair. The fact that
they are nearer to Seattle, that the
exposition is more accessible, will not
be taken into consideration by east
ern visitors Wana Walla will simply
have to make a bigger effort, just as
she has had to do in it's publicity cam
paign because of not being on a
main line" 1t can be done. And it
will be done. Walla Walla lis there

be a great advertisement for the city
Those familiar with the plan know

REFORM 1T ALTOGETHER.

The only way to reform the Ameri-
can Fourth of July is to reform it al
together. Halt measures are useless.
If we must express our patriotism with
fire and explosion, we must pay for it
with destruction of life and property
We can save these only by complete
surrender of the annual bombardment

< CONTINENT OF STATES.

Following is an editorial dealing with the question Of statehood. from the Chicago TribuEe.
 There are indications that two new stars will soon be added to the flag Seperate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico appear to be the pro gram. The president has declared himself for il The house committee on territories is reported in favor oi #. The opposition, -once strenuous, seems to have lost its strength. The Roosevelt administration may not close without this final act in the consolidation under statehood of the continental possessions of the United States from sea 10 sea
 1t Is easy to raise objections against statehood. So far as destiny of population is concerned, Arizona has an average of Q trific above one person to the square mile of territory New Mexico an average g little less than two. In comparison, Illinois has about 100. The largest cities in Ari. zona. Phoenix and Tucson, in 1906 had la combined population of 1S.OO0. The two cities Of New Mexico. Albuquer. que and santa Fe. about 60OC apiece. But the tofs.5 Of population give Arizona about 145,OOO and New Mexico about 220.00O. numbers which would give a clear title to statehood if numbers alone were to be consid cred. The objection from the point of view of the character of the popu latiOn has been made frequently.
 No matter how strong the ground. of opposition may be. there is no doub, of the eventual destiny of the terri tories. They will become states They will work ont their history ac cording to their peculiar environment resources and population. That admis sion to statehood will be followed by steady development is believed by the champions of the enabling acts. sucf belief may lead 10 victory in the fight for statehood Tt will be unfortunate if the name

FOREST OFFICIAL
 ON STATEHOOD

PUOENIX, Jan. 26.-That state hood is sure at the snort session sis inc message brought by Hou. W. C. Barnes, one of the hign officials or inc forestry service, from George U- Young. secretary cf the republican territorial central committee, who IS now in Washington Mir Young sends word that he and De7egate-elect Cam eron are keeping fully informed as to the course of events and feH sure that a. statehood bill will pass both houses of congress before March 4tn.
 Mir. Barnes was formerly resident of this city and his wife is a daugh fer of MT. and Mrs. Walter Talbot. He spent a short time in the city yes terday. while on his way to Los An geles to attend the annual convention of the National Live Stock associa- lion. He is now t1e right hand nan of Chief Forester Giiford Pinehot and has dcne more than any one man 10 Bring about amicable relations be- tween the sheep and catt1emen of the west.
 MT. Barnes is the man chiefly re snonsible for the bin which recently nassed congress extending the proSis- ions of the Cary act to cover Arizona

One person canot obtain more than 1eO acres, and the money derived from the sale of sucn lands shall be held in trust for the reclaiminS of other desert lands in that state.
 MT. Barnes greatly fears that be cause of the hostile feeling of con gress toward the president, the ap- propriation made for the forest ser vicethis year will not be as big as 1T ought to be. Forest preservation is one of the presidents hobbies, and he fears that congress will show its spite by cutting down the forestry ap- propriation.

MT Pinchot hopes 10 employ an addition al force of about 14e0 men, but can not do so unless the size of the ap- propriation is materially increased.

INJUNCTtONS
 AGAINST CAPITAL.

Labor, which frequently complains that il is the only subject of court in- functions. should not forget to tabu- late one exception--the gas companies of New York city. After the supreme court decision was recorded the Con solidated. the compeny against which it was directed by name. began ac cepting eighty cents per thousand for gas.
 Bat six of is subsidiary companies of whose stock il GIVES from seventy five per cent to all. still demanded the dollar rate. They had never heard of such decision" Like the small boy and the snowfall, it had never tcs5ed them."
 Put as soon as an injunction against their charging the higher rate was asked it was granted It is possibly too much to expect a1ch q corporation as the Consolidated to be genuinely honest, but it is no longer unusual for inc courts to compel them to move along that way.
 Nor Is it the fault of the courts that this is not more ofton so. As in this instance most people would rather nav the extra tweray cents, amount ing in 8 month ca inc average to not over a dollar. than to undertake inc interminable delays and countless expense of a race in court against such m aggregation of money.
 It takes money so fight money and in this fact the ages have not made much change: it always did, has and will. Even the socialist in his heaven would find himse9 faced by the inHf- ference or insolence of the physical representative of popular ownership.
 And so the cortest will go on be- tween the organized and eRtrenched few and the scattered many until the earth is peopled with angels, and those days come of plain living and high thinking. of which We now hear chiefly from those vEo practice their simplicity in homes of luxury ana their high thinking upon the multi tude.

TROUBLE AT SLOB z.

GLOBE.
 It is unfortunate fo. Globe that the western Federation of Miners have made labor conditions there such as siu not Dc submitted to by the em- pIoying companies. rThe shut down al Globe. said to be CD account Of the presenee of the walking delegate in the mines and in tho works will bring an end to the prosperity which has been present in the Globe district for the last five or six years and which has been gaining rapidly recently. The people of Bisbce and Douglas can gympathize with the business men in Globe, as this district had a labor trouble forced on < two years ago which was a continuing blight as long as it lasted.
 It is to be hoped that the Western Federation of Miners will see the mistake which has been made and withdraw the walking delegate respon- sible for the shut down. The fact that all the companies in the Globe district have come to an agreement to stand by the action of the Old Do ninion and that nine properties have ceased work and propose to remain idle until the walking delegate is re. moved must be accepted as warrant for the action of the old Dominion In discontinuing work because walk ing delegate persisted in forcing him self on the property of the company after having been ordered off
