BREAKING AN OLD CUSTOM,
How Clubs System Of Blaekballlna
Was Brought to an End

How Clubs System Of Blackballlne
Was Brought to an End.
An authentic story is told of one
famous club in St. James street
where number of ancient members
made it law to themselves to reject
every one without exception who had
offered himself as a candidate.
This practice of blackballing was
long held as an Imperative and un.
breakable rule, but was at length
evaded by strategem. At one cleo.
ton a number of a newcomers friends
were in attendance, but outside at
a distance from the clubhouse. No
one appeared in the committee room,
and it was generally supposed that
there would be no quorum. The NAL
contents therefore abstained from
voting.
But when only few minutes OF the
legal time for balloting remained and
the servants were at the point of re-
moving the ballot boxes an over
whelming number of the candidates
friends rushed in and elected him be-
fore the slightest opposition could be
organized. After this the absurd sys-
tenn OF blackballing was dropped, and
the club today is still alive and pros
porous.

OFF TIE SPROCkET.
Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag

Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag-
on Easily Set Right.
Not so many things happen to auto
mobiles now as once did, but eveI so
not all mishaps are as easily and
quickly adjusted as was this one.
Going around corner the drive
chain on one side of an automobile
delivery wagon came off the rear
sprocket, a mishap which the driver
almost instantly discovered. When
the wagon stopped the man with the
driver picked up a pair of gloves and
jumped off and ran AROUND to the
wheel from which the chain had drop
ped.
He lifted up the chain and set two
or three links of it over as many teeth
of the froward part of the sprocket
wheel, and holding the chain there he
called to the driver;
Back her"
And the driver backed gently, the
man holding the chain, and in mo-
ment the chain clicked back all right
on the sprocket wheel.
"That sounds good to muh," said
the man, and then he ran around and
climbed to his place on the wagon
seat again, and the next moment the
outfit was again on it's way.

BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
Farmers Mlshap That Stopped Travel
on a French Highway.

Farmers Mlshap That Stopped Travel
on French Highway.
A curious incident is reported from
st. Prieure, near Chambery, where
two colonies of bees in a state
Of insurrection have routed ey-
erybody from the neighborhood and
are still masters of the road.
The cure of neighboring place,
accompanied by farmer, came to
take possession Of two beehives,
which the farmer loaded on a cart
drawn by two oxen. Halfway home
one of the hives fell off the cart and
was broken up. The bees on being
liberated attacked the farmer with
fury and stung him so violently that
the poor man tainted and fell on the
road. The cure came to his rescue,
but in his hurry upset the other hive,
from which the bees also escaped and
attacked him in turn.
Workmen from the fields round
about heard the cries and rescued
both men, who had to be carried to a
house and attended by doctor.
Meanwhile the bees attacked the OK
en- and stung them so fiercely that
the two beasts started on a mad race
down the road and were finally stop
ped by a woman, who in turn was
surrounded not only by the bees of
the first two hives but apparently by
all the bees in the neighborhood, and
had herself to be rescued by the vii
layers.
So savage have the bees become
that the highway is still said to be
in their possession, and the inhabit-
ants have to be we'll protected to VEN
ture out in the fields.

COLOR MUSEUMS DEMAND.
Beautiful Stuffs Being Thrown Away
Whose Remnants Will Cost Dear.


Whose Remnants vii! Cost Dear.
A novel suggestion was put forward
at yesterdays international art con-
gress at the Victoria and Albert Muse
UNI by Mr.. Alexander Millar, a promin-
ent manufacturer and designer, who
urged the need for systematic color
training and recommended the estab-
lishment of "color museums" This idea
he explained, had received SYM
pathetic support from many great art
lists. In every educational center and
in every school there should be COL
lections of objects selected for their
beauty OF color alone. There should
be analytic color sections, showing
the color scheme apart from the &C
cidents Of form and shadow.
The collection, continued Mr.. Millar,
need not be very costly. Why should
not a beginning be made by making a
selection from the beautifully colored
textiles which appear from time to
time in shop windows? The expense
would be very small. Year by year
beautiful stuffs were being produced
and allowed to drop into oblivion. II
such collecti be not formed now
it might be that one hundred years
hence our museum authorities would
buy at fancy price a collection of
imperfect fragments of the very stufrs
which could be now acquired for
nominal sum.
He spoke of what he knew when he
said that such a collection would be
heartily welcomed by all designers
and by every one connected with arts
and industries in which color played
an important part.

Iookjnu for the Twin Sisters.

Texas army in 1885, received by Gen.
Sam Houston and used by him in the
battle of San Jacinto against the Mex

The difficulty is that he is unable TO

Conan Doyle's Latest.

Conan Doyle has written book en-
titled Through the Magic DocE." 1t
is neither about crime nor te detection
of criminals, but it merely tells what
in literature Sherlock Holmes likes
and what he doesn't like. He advises
young readers to talk about what they
have recently read. Except to per-
sonal friends, this sort of talk, while
useful to the talker, is ordinarily
about as interesting to the nearer as
the narration Of ones dreams.

THE CITY ELECTION

Pullman is to be congratulated up
on the good telling that follows the
recent city election and the utter alb
sence of bitterness in the campaign.
The candidates are complimented by
the light vote 1t shows that the
people felt that no matter who was
elected the affairs of the city would
be well looked after 1t is a per-
sonal sacrifice to serve as mayor or
councilman in Pullman or any town
of this size where there is no salary
or other "emoluments" to the office,
and the officer must give his time
to the city free of charge and take
all of the complaints that are made
against Hcers in small town.
Who can look backward to the
days Of saloon control in Pullman
and compare the election Of last
Tuesday with bitter fights which dis
graced Pullm an for many years with
out feeling thankful that the cause
of this bitter ness has been remov-
ed? The Herald believes that Pull
man will have an honest and clean
administration and it would have had
the same had the men who were de-
feated been elected. Economy is
needed more then almost anything
else end the city must get ont Of
debt and onto a cash basis There
will never again be saloon licenses
paid in this town and the expenses
must be kept up from other sources
and the big indebtedness Incurred
when there were saloons here must
be wiped out,

when it finds out what is really nom
ular, is the first paper to come out
boldly and declare that the saloons
are doomed in Colfax and Whitman
county and that mo man can he
elected to the legislature in this
county who is not heartily in sympa-
thy with state wide prohibition. 1t
is to be regretted that the Commoner
was not converted before the recent
election. Had it made the fight be-
fore 1t knew how strong the senti-
ment against saloons is in this coun-
ty ColfaX might today be dry" in
stead of retaining the saloons, which
the Commoner now announces after
the election) must 60"

The sermon themes at the Chris
tian church next Sunday morning
will be: Morning - "Wherewithal
Shall a Young Man Cleanse His
Way?"
Evening: What Would You Have
Done II You Had Been Saul of
Tarsus?"
interesting programs are being
prepared in the Sunday school of the
Christian church for the Christmas
season. The primary department
VIII nave an Appropriate graduating
exercise in promoting scholars to the
advanced grades. A home mission
program will be given by the inter-
mediate department. The scientific
Bible study class will give a cantata
on Christmas eve.
An excellent convention of the
Christian Woman's Board of Missions
of this district was held in the
Christian church last Thursday and
Friday. Delegates were present
from ColfaX, Garfield and Palouse
and State President Mrs. j. NJ. Simp-
son, and the State Secretary Mrs.
Downing, were present from Spo-
kane. Rev. r. E. Jope, of Garfield,
gave an address on Thursday night
on his experiences as missionary in
the slums of Boston, that was full
of interest and made a deep impress
sion.
The annual G.. w. B. NJ Day was
observed at the Christian church last
Sunday with an address by the pastor
on the organization and its work.

Word has gone out from New York
that Senator La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin. must be beaten at all hazards.
He is regarded as a presidential pos
Sibility and he is feared and mated
by the money power worse than any
other man in public life today. He
will be candidate for reelection
to the United States senate and the
corrupt money power has determined
upon his defeat. To that end it is
said that vast sums of money will
be spent in Wisconsin to prevent
La Follette's return to the senate.
If he is defeated for that office it is
believed that he will cease to be
dangerous as a presidential possibil-
ity. Efforts to defeat La Toilette
In the past have proved unavailing.
No man has harder fights to remain
in public Office than La Toilette, but
the people of Wisconsin are loyal to
him and the principles for which he
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1909-12-10

stands and they have always rallied
to him, even when he ran indepen-
dent after being defeated by the re-
Publican convention. 1t is to be
hoped history repeats itself in this
case.
Congress is again in session. The
regulars again control and Joe Can
non and Senator Aldrich are the rul-
ing spirits of the house and senate,
but even they feel that their cause
Is weakening and that the 'insur-
gents" have gained great strength
in the west and middle west during
the interim between the special and
the regular session of congress. Sen
ator La Toilette has done much to
awaken interest in the west and to
show the people how entirely they
are at the mercy of the unscrupu-
ious tools of the money power. No
one can doubt that there will be a
re, olution in congress within the
next few years and no man can be
elected from this district unless he
is an 'insurgent" and stands square
ly opposed to Aldrichism and Can
nonism.

THE WARNING MUST BE Needed

The man who assisted the saloon
interests in their fight in the recent
local option election in this county
had as well retire from politics, for
he is a dead one" in this county
and must be born again" before he
will stand any show of being elected
in this county to any office This
applies to all, whether democrat, re-
publican or socialist. The people
have spoke in terms that cannot be
misunderstood. Taking the vote of
the county it shows nearly three and
a half opposed to saloons to one in
favor. Those are odds that personal
popularity and political intrigue
cannot overcome.
ColfaX politicians are hard hit in
this way Most of them fought for
the saloons and they are branded. >"
One young man who had planned to
run for county auditor next year,
worked for the saloons interests in
COlfaX and has already announced
that he will not enter the race An
other who has wanted to be Judge
or congressman has been warned
by his few friends to LAY low till
people forget it," for he, too, has al
ways been allied with the saloon in
terests and he has fallen with them.

cractic organ of this county, which
