Walsh Is surprise in many
ways. In the first place he is a
vegetarian. never eating meat in
any form, even when training for a
hard fight. This in itself is almost
heresy from the STANDPOINT Of the
pugilist, and especially when the
abstainer from meat is a product
OF beef eating Britain.
Apparently the dropping of meat
does not act as a bar to strength,
speed and stamina in Walsh. He
has shown that he is faster than
Attell, has knockout punch and
can go round after round without
firing. Whether be can develop b
wallop and turn the trick Joe Cans
failed at and which every other
lightweight has found impossible
knock out Nelson--remains to be
seen.
Walsh is different In other ways.
He does not seek newspaper noto-
riety by bombastic chatter: does
not carouse or announce his mar.
riage to a chorus girl and does his
training quietly. with his sister as
chief of staff.
When in training Walsh follows
the usual methods, punching the
bag, wrestling. boxing. running or
the road. playing with the medicine
ball. etc. He differs from other
pugilists only in his diet. lie is
strong for nuts. vegetables and
fruits. and his sister, who oversees
to the preparation OF his food, IL
an expert at getting up tempting
sdishes for her bread winning
brother.

LET THE CITIES ALONE.

Under our complicated system of
government a somewhat unfortunate
relationship exists between the urban
and the country districts. State leg
islatures are usually dominated by
members from the country or small
cities, who are more or less familiar
with conditions in their own environ
ment, but who necessarily cannot
keep well posted on city affairs. This
is no reflection upon the rural legis-
latOrs. The same rule applies with
equal force to the city representa-
times, who are just as ignorant of
country conditions. And the general
observation is no more pertinent to
this city than to other large cities of
the country. Whlla Walla has nothing
to complain of so far in it's treatment
at the hands of the present Washington
legislature.
There are, however, many condi-
lions that arise where a city is not
we'll treated by the state legislature.
With a majority Of the representatives
from life in the country. This is rather
difficult to present a given case in its
correct light.
Propagandists are usually very ac-
tive and stir up great deal more dis
turbance than their causes justify
The great majority of good citizens
are slow to act and have no organiza-
ton to protect them promptly against
the non cOnformists.
Life in cities is altogether different
from life in the countrq. This is rather
a compliment than otherwise to the
country. Yet these urban conditions
should be fully understood before 6
country legislator acts upon a measure
that has to do with city regulation
The country legislators are we'll equip
ped to caro- for their own communities
They know intimately the needs ant
requirements of their own localities
They should be slow and caution:
about including the cities in thos,
measures that might do very we'll fol
the country but would work hardship:
in the more closely settled communities
Home rule is, unfortunately, more of {
theory than an actual condition.
the theory of home rule could be ap
piled to all legislation that affects
cities. sections and districts, it would
be a blessing. AS a man is entitled
within certain conventional limits t.
do as he pleases in his own home i
his neighbor is not disturbed, so tn,
cities should be permitted to conduc
their own affairs in their own way a.
far as local matters are concerned. II
other words, the cities should occupy
position in reference to the state some
what analogous to the relation of tn,
states to the general government. A.
federal laws should not encroach upol
the rights of the states save in genera
and national matters, so the stat
should not encroacn upon the cite
save in matters of statewide concern

that his predecessor occupied.
The taking of the census is a very
innortant work 1t is business
nroposition, and business principles
should be observed in doing it. Ac-
curacy is an imperative demand in IT,
and this requires intelligence in the
selection of the census takers and In
the allotment of their tasks. On
their work will be based all the calcu-
lations which will be made for the
next ten years regarding the country
population, wealth and general condl-
ton. AS the allotment of representa-
ton in the popular branch of congress
and in the electoral college depends on
every one of the states has an interest
in having the count correct.
AS the country is growing with con-
siderable speed it is well that the CEN
sus taking should begin early, and
should be pushed with all the vigor
and intelligence which the bureau can
put into it. The country wants the
figures just as early as it can get them,
and it wants to have them correct
Politics will have no place in the Sc
lection of the men to do this work
The past ten years has been period
of wide development in all activities
throughout the country, and naturally
much interest is felt in learning just
where we stand. The correct solution
of many social problems will depend
upon the accuracy with which the va
rious fields are covered in the enumer-
alton of 1910. One census long ago
was viewed with some distrust by the
country, but possibly the suspicion may
have been misplaced. The people want
no tainted figures this time.

She sat on the edge of her seat

NO POLITICS IN THE CENSUS.

President Taft is right in saying
that there should be no politics in the
work of taking the census. Presi-
dent Roosevelt vetoed the bill which
was passed shortly before the end of
his term. because it would have given
the spokesman a chance to control the
appointments under il. He wanted
the selections to be placed under the
merit system. AS the bill with the
objectionable clause could not he
passed over the veto it was dropped
and the bin which has just gone
through both branches that clause is
omitted because Mr. Taft holds pre-
ciseiy the same ground on that point

A STATE HIGHWAY POLICY.

Candidates for Governor might as we'll begin to think
about state highway policy
The people are thinking about It,
They wonder why this state cannot DO something for
state highways.
For instance the federal government has been eXpendng
$4,000 year building magnificent highways in Rainier Ma
tionaI Park
Oregon has been getting pttance like $1,000 for Crater
Lake National Park,
When the state tries to do something TO build state high
way to make Crater Lake accessible the injunction fiend
bObS up to stop it.
Between the dead ones who still cucumber the earth and
the kcker who should not cucumber the earth we are max
ING slow progress.
This state should adopt the policy of building one first
class state highway through each county,
might cost $4,000 mle but would be good in
veStment.
Such highway with orty-foot macadamized roadway
would be Travelled day and night
Thousands Of the most prosperous business men OF the
state and the tourist travel OF the whole world would be pass
ing over H.
It would not be long before such roads could be electric
lighted.
Residences and beautiful country homes would spring Up
along such roads, and land such roads would become
worth 5000 10 $500 an acre,
Such road would be object lesson for the people to de-
mand good county roads,
One good macadamzed state road through each county
would stimulate the whole county to build better roads as
feeders to the main road.
Nothing would do so much to develop the country bring in
people and stimulate property values these state highways
The Capital Journal proposes that we enter upon state
campaign for state highways,
