They Like w. r.. La Toilette.

Since The Herald mentioned Hon
w. L. La Toilette, of Pullman, as
a possible candidate for congressman
from this district to succeed Miles
Poindexter, who will make the race
for United States senator, the mat
ter has been taken up and discussed
by many newspapers, and all speak
favorably of Mr.. La Toilette apd his
chances of success. This could not
well be otherwise Mr., La Toilette
is a man against whose character
or record there is not SPOT nor
blemish. He has lived in Whitman
county for 80 years and his life has
been an open book.
No one doubts his qualifications
for the place, nor that he will be an
honor to the position and to Whit
man county if elected His record
in Whitman county is one of which
any man might be proud. When the
panic struck the Palouse country in
1893 Mr. La Toilette was at Chi
cago, in charge of the Washington
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. He came
back and found things in bad con-
dition He had / 1900 acres of wheat
from which he received but $500,
the bulk of his crop, like that of
hundreds of other farmers, having
rotted in the sack after being out
and threshed. He mortgaged the on
ly piece of lad he owned that was
not already mortgaged tinstead of
filing a homestead on it, as he was
!. advised to do. and as many others
did, to save it from his creditors
and with the money thus secured he
paid his local creditors so cents on
the dollar and got an extension OF
time on the remaining soc. In this
way he inspired confidence among
the business men and he has never
betrayed that confidence. He, like all
other tillers of the soil, suffered I'M
told hardships and privations dur
ing the years of the panic, but he
managed to hold on. worked hard.
maintained his credit and eventually
won out, retaining his land and the
confidence, esteem and respect of all
who knew him.
That shows the characteristics OF
the man. He is thoroughly honest;
always frank; positive in his way

Newspaper Fights Back.

The folly of business men figh ting
Ia newspaper has been fully illus
trated at La Crosse, in this county.
When the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union was organized in
Whitman county w. f. Conyard, ed
itor and publisher of the La Crosse
Clipper, one of the brightest news
papers of the county, took an active
part in the work of the union and
became secretary of the local. The
business men of La Crosse, or some
of them, got the mistaken idea tn at
the union planned to buy supplies,
groceries, etc, from the mail order
houses, or to put in stores on the
Rochdale system. To punish Mr.. Con
yard for his activity in working for
the interests of the union some of
the business men induced a second
paper to start in La Crosse. The
town is small and it is difficult for
one paper to make a living from the
local business.
Brother Conyard, being human
did not quietly submit to being
starved out" as was the intent on
of those who withdrew their patron
age from him. He got busy" Col
fax is not far from La Crosse and the
town has some large stores, the pro-
prietors of when are anxious to get
the trade of western Whitman coun-
ty Brother Conyard secured two full
page advertisements from two of the
ColfaX stores and got more money
from these than all of the stores in
La Crosse had been paying. He has
had his paper well filled with adver-
Using from ColfaX, and it is certain
that the merchants got full value
for the money spent in this way, or
they would not have continued pa
tronizing the La Crosse Clipper for
nearly two years. We are opposed to
a local newspaper taking advertising
from firms that compete with home
concerns, provided the home firms
patronize the newspapers, but when
the merchants start a boycott on
their home paper it is up to" the
publisher to get patronage elsewhere,
and if that hurts the home merchant
it is the latter's fault for he had no
business to begin such a fight. The
interests of the home newspaper and
the home merchant are, and should
be identical. Neither can afford to
10 business without the assistance
and cooperation of the other.
The Herald had an offer of full
page advertisement from a large
store in a neighboring town on a
years contract at higher prices than
the merchants of Pullman are pay
ing, but it refused to take the ad-
vertisement, for the reason that the
home merchants have been liberal
with their patronage with this paper
and the management appreciates
their friendly attitude.

The letter of the prominent Pull

Davenport Tribune, in which he de-
picted Pullman as badly injured by
the loss of saloons, did not appear
to cut much ice with the thinking
people of Davenport. The town went
dry by "a majority, although vast
sums of money were spent by the
saloon interests to retain the saloons.
Letters from several Pullman bust

HAMILTON'S DOWNFALL.

Al fool there was and he made his
prayer,
Gwen as you and II
To rag, and bone and a hank of
hair,
We called her the woman who did
not care,
But the fool, he called her his lady
fair
Given as you and ID.
The above words from Kipling
depict the cause of the downfall of
Ortis Hamilton, the first white boy
born in Whitman county, who now
languishes in Jail at Olympia, con-
yicted of obtaining money under
false pretenses. There has been no
sadder event in the past year than
the discovery that this young man
had fallen through the wiles of a de-
signing and unprincipled woman.
''The fool, he called her his lady,
fair" but when he was arrested she
fed, leavig him without a single
kind word nor any offer of assist
ance.
Hamilton was a brilliant young
man. He is the son of one of Whit
man countys most respected and be-
father, is suffering deeply, but bear
ing up more bravely than the aver
age of us do, while disgrace hangs
heavily upon many relatives and
friends who assisted Ortis Hamilton
to rise to the heights from which
he fell, and who had conferred great
hopes in him. There is no excuse
for him, and his most firm friends
do not attempt to cOndone his Of
Tense. He had a lovely and faithful
wife and the sweetest, brightest of
daughters, but these were not en-
Y ough to hold him against the wiles
of a constituencies woman who want
ed to "cut a shine" with his m Oney.
/ seems impossible that Hamilton can
escape a felOn's cell. His once happy
home land the writer knows that it
was at one time a model home) has
been broken up and his wife and in
nocent child have been made to suf-
fer, and will continue to suffer thro
life, while the designing woman who
caused his downfall is probably now
engaged in some intrigue with an
other man in some other part of the
country.
But this will not be the last case
of it's kind. If it were, the results
might be worth the cost. 1t will go
on as long as time Other women
will lure men, and other men will be
willing prey. AS Ella Wheeler Will
cox writes:
"And yet for ever, since time be-
gan,
Has man dared woman and woman
lured man
To that sweet danger, which turks
and lies
In the bloodless battle of eyes with
eyes;
That wreckless danger. as vast as
sweet,
Whose bitter ending is joys defeat.
And yet, for ever, while life shall
last,
On passions altar, will hearts be
cast"

John UT, convicted of illegal vot-
ing in the local option election at
Palouse, now faces a charge of lille
gal registration, which is penitenti-
airy offense, and his conviction on
that charge is expected. UT was
prosecuted by j. w. Mathews, of
Pullman, who also filed the new
charge against him. He is out on
bonds, furnished by two saloon men
of Palouse. This shows how Palouse
was carried by the saloon element,
although the majority for saloons
was only four. 1t is charged that
many citizens of Idaho voted at the
Palouse election.

An investigation of the charges
made against Secretary Ballinger are
to be made by congress. This is to
be done at the request of Ballinger
and other members of the cabinet,
who forced President Taft to take
action, much against the wishes of
the president. 1t is now up to that
official to make some kind of bluff
and The Herald wants to go on rec
ord now as predicting that Ballinger
will be 'white-washe ed" and Pinchot,
who has stood for the people and
against the monopolies, will be dis
credited, if not removed from office,
and that every man who has assisted
in trying to uncover the alleged rot
tenness in the interior department
will be punished. President Taft is
quoted as saying that the time has
come when those who have been try
ing to malign the land department
must be punished, which is equiva-
lent to saying that the man who will
