LANDlS' FINE FAILURE.

At last an end has come to perhaps
the most colossal legal fiasco this
country has known, and which rep
resented the spirit and biggest
achievement of the undertaking" era.
Ever since sO-called reform has been
rampant in this country the muckers
have paid particular attention to the
Standard Oil company. This great
commercial institution became a COM
mon prey to the hosts of destruction.
Magazine after magazine and neWspa-
per after newspapers centered its guns
upon this easy target until hatred Of
the Standard became general obses-
sion: The Climax came when Presi-
dent Roosevelt turned the fire of his
augmented legal department upon the
oil company and Judge K. M. Lands
imposed upon it the gigantic fine of
twenty million dollars.
At the time Judge Lands rendered
his judgment the country was in a
ferment or rabid reformation. RoOse-
welt was in the saddle and he was
supported by all the small fry pam
phleteers who surrounded him. No
doubt a preponderant sentiment of the
country applauded the president and
Judge Lands. When the
amount of the fine was made public
there was a mad storm of appreciation
while many cautious and reflective
men viewed the situation with gravity
Judge Lands was a popular hero and
was hailed as the one man who was
able to bring the Standard Oil COM
pany to its knees. He was mentioned
as good presidential timber-a men
ton that did not offend his ears. But

To assist in advertising Walla
Walla and to aid the exploitation OF
the county's resources at the A.-Y.-P
exposition the federated women's clubs
have perfected an organization for the
purpose Of displaying the handiwork
of their sex at Seattle this summer.
The most prominent club women
and social leaders of the city have
undertaken the work and committees
have been appointed to secure collec-
tions Of fancy work or in fact anything
that will prove of interest to women.
Every woman in the county will be
invited to help that an exhibit may be
obtained that will sustain and elevate
the reputation of the city and the
county. The exhibit will consist of
the various lines of fancy work, de-
signing, culinary handicraft and art
in all its branches.
The needlewOrk department is in
charge of a committee of which Mrs.
j. c.. Hockett is chairman. while the
canned goods committee will work
under the direction Of Mrs. w. A.
Ritz. The art club of the city will
have charge of the art exhibit.
| The local organization was effected
at the request of Mrs w. H. Allen
of Spokane, who has been appointed

the very enormity of the fine argued
against justice. 1t caused people 10
stop and inquire of themselves what
wor,ld be the result of such dispo-
sition toward capital.
When the case was reversed by the
court of appeals and remanded for
new trial it was generally believed that
the entire suit had failed. The second
trial was under Judge Albert B. An
derson and so thoroughly was he con-
WINGED of the injustice Of the matter
that he ordered the jury to bring in a
verdict of acquittal This sudden ter
mination of the governments case was
based upon the state of Judge
Anderson that no offense was proven.
Judge Anderson. it must be remem-
bered is a Roosevelt appointee and
therefore is not open to the accusa-
ton of prejudice against the Roose-
welt policies.
This decision is of vastly more i'm
portance than is indicated by the sum
of money involved. Coming as it does
at the end of the Roosevelt admins
tration it has tremendous moral
bearing upon conditions and seems to
mark with entire appropriateness the
fallacy of the entire Roosevelt scheme
of assaulting capital. The suit and
first fine against the Standard Oil
company was hailed by the reformers
as the beginning of commercial revo-
luton in this country. The whole
fabric of undertaking was based upon
this sort of prosecution. That it. has
now failed utterly gives renewed hope
of return of lawful and just methods
in dealing with individuals or corpo-
rations.

TENNIS INTEREST

Good Weather Brings Out Large Mum
Der of Wielders of the Racquet at
Whitman College.

Considerable interest is being taken
at Whitman in tennis this week The
fine weather has brought out the rae
quets and the courts are covered every
afternoon with students. of both sexes
This afternoon a meeting of the tenni;
enthusiasts will be held at $50 to
form a club and a schedule will be ar
ranged for practice so as to give every
one a chance on the courts.
Arrangements Will be made for a 10
cal tournament and a team will be
chosen to represent the college in the
annual tournament with the Washing
ton State college, which is to be held
at Pullman this year, probably in the
latter part of May. The courts on the
campus will be improved and put into
the best of order.
Whitman has several excellent ten,
mis- players. among whom are the Felt
house brothers, Ralph Parker and
Samuel Neterer, and the chances for
championship team are bright.

" within it's discretion. AS each

senate in the early part of the session
and the house in the latter part of it
there is a strong probability that
congress will do something before ad-
iournment toward Tightening it's Ia
bors in the regu ar session which be-
gins in December. The senate commit
tees are organized for business, and
that chamber can be relied on to busy
itself with o.her measures in the few

house appropriations committee, called
attention frequently in the recent SEES

cutting down expenditures, but his
warning passed unheeded by his re-
publican associates. This demand,
nevertheless, is likely to get some at

NEW REGIME HAS STARTED.

Today congress convened to revise
the tariff and probably to do other
things, for it will not be restricted in
its work, except through the refusal
of the speaker to form any of the COM
mittees save on rules and on ways
and means, as Speaker Reed did
twelve years ago. Mr.. Cannon, how
ever, is likely to appoint the full list
of committees. Uncle Joe" will prob
ably be reelected without any serious
contest. 1t is altogether likely that
he will form all the committees in
due course after the house organizes
and not put any part of this work over
To the regular session next December
There are many reasons why the
republican line should remain solid.
Congress will meet to reshape the
tariff schedules and bring them down
to date The party was pledged, in the
platform on which Mr.. Taft stood, to
do this in an extra session. Several
times during the campaign, and also
several times since the election. he re-
ferred to the necessity of doing this
work On the record which the Sixty
first congress makes in the session
which begins next Monday Will de-
pend. in large degree, the victory
or defeat for the republicans in the
congressional campaign next year. AS
extra sessions are comparatively few,
and as they are never called except to
meet an urgent popular need, they al
ways attract much attention. The
record which they make always
counts powerfully for or against the
rartv in control. These considerations
will appeal to every republican leader,
from President Taft down. AS the re-
publican party will be held RESPONSE
BILE for what the house does. or for
what it ought TO do and fails to do,
tie insurgents are likely to encounter
influences which will thin their ranks
between now and the opening of the
caucus four days hence. When the
people chose a majority of forty-seven
republicans to the present house they
intended it 10 be a republican cham4

Mr.. Cannon is Internationally the IA
vorite of large majority of the re-
publican voters of the country for re-

ly shrink to small dimensions.

Under the influence Of high baro-

weather has remained fair in most
districts throughout the United States.
Snow has fallen in the northwest Ca
madam provinces and portions of the
states adjoining. A barOmetric de-
