FOR THE FARMER.

Defenders of a permanent policy OF
a high tariff protection are contlnu-
aIlv pointing out the benefit derived
by the American farmers from duties
on agricultural products. Farmers
themselves seldom show an active in
terest in this subject, except when it
is a question of duties on dairies and
market garden products close to the
Canadian boundry.
But it is probably true that most
farmers take it languidly for granted
that they get some share, if not just
share in the benefits of protection.
Any way the farmers are seldom heard
from in the tariff hearings of the ways
and means committee. When the wool
duty is attacked, certain organiza-
lions in Ohio and other states make
a great noise in the name Of the
farmers, but it never has been made
entirely clear whether they represent
him or the wooden mills.
An exception of this policy of 81
lence and acceptance is Mr.. Datus c.
Smith who owns and operates a
large farm near Blanchard. North Da-
kota. He has written letter to the
ways and means committee, urging
that all agricultural products be put on
a free list. This could hardly be done
without giving the standpatters a for
midable weapon, unless changes that
would be considered destructive were
to be made in other schedules.
That seems to be what Mr.. Smith is
after He says that protection can
not equalze foreign and domestic pro-
duction in agriculture because the
price of our great staples is ineXora-
bly, fixed abroad and the price Of these
staples largely affects that Of lesser
crops The only possible protection for
the farmer. Mr. Smith insists. is to re-
duce the cost of everything he has to
buy by taking the tariff off foreign
manufactures.
That is to say, since the farmer can
not be protected in the price of what
he has to SELL let him be protected in
the price Of that he has to buy. Mr..
Smith adds a rather striking state
ment Of his belief that the continual
ly increasing cost of living and pro-
duction on the farm. with practically
stationary prices for its products. is
responsible for the failure of land val
ues to- increase in the older part Of
the country. where they are not aided
by emigration and railroad building.

A NEW FIGURE OF DESTINY.

Though an exile, Castro, with his
retinue of retainers, continues to loom
large in the public eye. The dispatches
paint him as a sensation in Berlin. He
spends princely sums in his daily ex
penses. and among other remarkable
eXplaits. makes away with seven bot
ties of brandy per day.
A more curious, mixture of man has
been rarely seen. His figure is squat
and barely five feet high. He was a
barefoot cattle driver and with an ar
my of % mule drivers nine years ago
seized the government of Venezuela
He has since been the Venezuelan man
Of destiny. He is known in his late do
minion both as the Napoleon OF South
America" and as the Monkey of the
Andes" He ruled like an autocrat
and filled prisons with his foes
Though no soldier he developed a ge-
MUS for war, and though no diplomat
he outwitted the trained diplomats OF
Europe. He negotiated favorable trea-
ties with England and Germany and
defied the fleets of France and Hol-
and. He successfully bluffed the great
of Europe and incidentally
the millions that make his

Weather Conditions.

The pressure has risen rapidly IN
the Pacific northwest and high areas
are central on the Oregon coast and
over Alberta. The latter is OF con-
siderable strength and is attended by
temperatures as low as 90 degrees be-
how zero. An area Of low pressure
which passed eastward over the Pacl-
fic northwest caused rain in oregon
Washington and Idaho and snow in
Montana and North Dakota. A de-
creasing pressure on the Atlantic slope
is attended by general rains east of
the Mississippi. Temperatures are
moderate on the Pacific and the At
lantic slope and are low along the
northern slope of the Rocky noun
tains. The indications are for fair
and colder weather in this vicinity to-
night and fair on Tuesday.

Hartmann Tonight.

Arthur Hartmann, the greatest Hun
garian violinist, presents the third
number in this seasons Whitman
conservatory course, Monday evening
at the Keylor Grand. Hartmann is UNI
doubtedly by far the greatest violin
list who has ever played in Walla Wal
la and stands with Ysaye and Kube-
Xix representing the utmost perfection
of artists skill with this most beauti-
full of instruments.
Every concert of such werit as all
of this years Whitman course reduces
the difference between the opporrunl
ties to be enjoyed in Walla Walla and
in the great musical centers. Musical
farce comedy and cheap drama can be
heard in every railroad town Of the
northwest but Walla Walla shares
with only five other cities in these
three states in the advantages OF
hearing the greatest musical artists
on the American concert stage. and
the prices in Walla Wlalla are less than
would be paid for the same privilege
in New York city, itself.
Let no one imagine, there Will be a
dull moment in the Hartmann's pro
gram this evening For exquisite beat
ty of touch and tone, marvellous tech
nflue, satisfying Interpretation of the
most thrilling and beautiful music he
is unsurpassed. AS this lis the first
time in several years that one of the

in Walla Walla, he ought to be an

COL. WlATTERSON INOvRES

Col. Henry Watterson, editor of : h.

pECo t. the statements of NJ. Bunau-
vari'!a, concerning the Panama Canal
company with some pertinent inquiries
which We should all like very much to
have answered
In an excellent vein of sarcasm. Col
Watterson refers to the efforts of M.
BGnauVarilla and his associate Will
liam Nelson Cromwell, to palm off
their successful negotiations with the
United States government as ga
scheme of unselfish benevolence" and
their new Panama Canal company of
France as IAN eleemosynary institu
ton"
Then he proceeds to ask a few
striking questions, of which the fol-
lowing are typical:
why did the Roosevelt administra-
ton violate the terms of the Spoons,
act, which required that in the event
Of failure to come to terms with the
Republic of Colombia "a bargain should
be made with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica?
How came the president to disre-
gard the prohibition of the constitu>
ton in making war by executive order
upon friendly power by holding the
Colombian forces at bay until the new
republic of Panama could be- pro-
claimed?
why was the American navy so
well prepared TO carry out it's part in
the Panama revolt?
why was NJ. Bunau- Varilla-a
French citiZen-so speedily and readi-
~ accepted as the minister of the new
republic?
Who got the $4,000, 900 paid to Pa
mama, and where was William Nelson
Cromwell all that time?''
These questions may be impudent,
but they are none the less important
and interesting, and We should all like
very much to have them answered.

When Eddie FOy, comedian, wants
something that has already been paid

then excuses with him are pretty much

of the second part, agreeing to furnish
the actor with an aria thereupon
yclept From the Cradle to the Grave"
Foy waited for the wheels of genius
to rewolve-and then he waited some
more, but still no song.
When Mr.. Foy met Mr. Williams he
was plainly annoyed and without more
ado he put some large freckled
thoughts into plain English Said he in
effect:

bucks Or else produce that song" and

Spurred to action, Williams then
called Van Alstynei over the long-dis-

the wire, whistleh back and finally o

A Profitable Blackberry Patch.

-Four years ago A. Seydel set on his
farm in Cedar Neck, three miles east
from Milford, II acres Of the "Loveit'
black kberry. From this the first year he
harvested so baskets Of white potatoes,
which were planted between each row
Of the blackberry plants. The second
year the } acres Of blackberries cleared
him $50 The third year they cleared
him about $3.50. The fourth year be
cleared Sl6O from this same patch. This
year the crop is a practical failure by
reason Of dry weather, and about 1900
quarts will cover the crop. The above
figures are the net returns, and show
what is possible from berry growing.
