A MANUFACTURED CLIMATE.

The gardeners of Paris get their pro-
ducts on the market weeks before the
regular season for them. This forcing
of nature is described by Ernest Poole
in Success Magazine"
The secret is simply this: The
French maraichers have manufactured
er has said, They have moved the
climate of Monte Carlo up to the sub
urbs of Paris"
Some new prodigy of modern science
this? Not at ALL Only enormous ex-
pense in money and in time. The gar
dens, whenever possible, are placed on
land with a slope to the south, and
are well protected by walls on the
north and east, walls built to reflect
light as well as to give protection from
the northeast winds.
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as in greenhouse, but
by glass frames in the open. three
light" frames of uniform size, twelve
feet by four and a half; and also by
glass bells These, too, are of a uni
form size, about the shape of a chapel
bell, a little less than seventeen inches
fifteen inches high -febf
in diameter and from fourteen to fiji
teen inches high. The French call
them clOches. You may often see over
a thousand frames and over ten thous-
and glass bells in one tWo-acre plot in
the suburbs of Paris.
A more recent innovation is the en-
ployntent of hot-water pipes run I'M
der the soil, making of the earth a YER
liable steam heated hotel, with this
essential difference, that the hotel
keeper here is desperately eager, not
to keep his guests, but to persuade them
to leave on the earliest possible day.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-03-07

which the defendant had been con-
victed Of larceny in the lower court,
and in denying rehearing of the ap-
peal the Judge held: when de-
PENDANT is clearly proven to be guilty
this court will not reverse a convic-
ton upon any technicality or excep-
ton which does not affect the sub
stantial rights of the defendant"
At last a CLEAN of light, pregnant
with promise, appears to have broken
through the cobwebbed maze of legal
technicalities which has SO long cloud
ed the atmosphere of courts of justice
particularly appellate courts. The
law as interpreted by this Oklahoma
Judge is by no means a new doctrine,
in theory, but in parctice it seems so
rare as to be virtually unique. Who
ever heard of a legal technicality that
did not affect the substantial rights
of the defendants" The criminal prac-
tee in most courts is full Of just such
technicalities, most of them clinging
about that attenuated phantasm Of
fetched casuistry, the long suffer-
ing and sorely abused reasonable
doubt" AS a rule, no technicality ap-
pears so gauzy and frail as to be I'M
able to serve as a foundation for a
doubt in the hands of shrewd Grim
inal lawyer, and, of course, if any
thing, however fanciful, is excluded
or admitted in evidence that could by
any stretch of the imagination have
changed the course of the trial, or
deprived the defendant of the benefit
of a reasonable doubt in the minds Of
the jury, the appellate courts seem to
feel bound to construe it as affecting
the substantial rights of the defend
ant.
This brave Oklahoma judge, who
dares to apply the rules of common
sense in interpreting the law, deserves
the concentrations of a long suffering
people. All praise to him, and may
his tribe increase until his kind fill
the posts of the juriciary all over the
country.
Speaking of the wonderful progress
that has been made in the mechanical
arts and sciences and the various
realms of intellectual thought, a Con-
temporary the other day was moved
to use this plain language:
But the machinery of justice keeps
on creaking 1t is a fearful and Won
derful specimen of the antique. 1t
moves by jerks, and part of the time
it jerks backward The litigant finds
that it is choked by a technicality and
that he has to make a new start with
his case. Because of the we'll anthem
ticated stories that have been told of
its operations and because of actual
with them there are many
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-03-07

men who would rather submit to IN
Justice than take their chances with
such a continuance.
"Why, then, do not more members
of the bar turn inventors? Why DO
they not act like the experts in other
lines of human endeavor and strive &c
improve the machinery Is it because
they feel that there is pront IN mac
ton rather than in action. Or Is II
because they are so much the slaves o.
tradition that they bow to 1t Wlthou'
question Certainly opportunity beck
ons them. and there will be a very
great reward in honor and reputation
for those who help to make the ma
chinery better"

WHIT THE EMMANUEL MOVE
MENT REALLY is.
MOVE.

"What is this idea that has aroused
storm Of opposition and approVai
from one end of the country to the
other?" says the Woman's Home com
panion. and then proceeds 10 dns"ei
it's own question completely ana ei-
fectiyely. The movement, started py
Doctor Worcester in Emmanuel churcn,
Boston. has spread, until now 1t en-
braces rs churches. 1t is brought out
nlainIv in this article that, while the
minds influence over the body was
demonstrated centuries ago, the En-
manuel movement is an absolute de-
parture because it is combination
of religion and medicine-the physician
and the minister working hand IN
hand to relieve the sufferings of man
kind. Every step of the movement has
been undertaken under the auspices of
the physician. It's great value to the
church is brought out clearly. DR..
William D. Parker says, inspart:
'Tts significance to the church is
hard to overestimate. It means turn
ing the minds of men back to the
church for practical help and succor.
To the teacher the student, the reader,
the thinker, it means having a new
topic added to his interest, a new re-
gion opened to development. 1t is
comparable to the popular discovery
of psychology 20 years ago, when that
became the most interesting subject
Of reading in the world. 1t means
clearing away mist and confusion from
a subject of great Importance and let
ting in new light upon the working Of
our minds. It means Strengthening
each mans confidence in his ability
60 help himself and his fellows. To the
clergyman it has given an effective ar
gument for the power of the spirit, the
efficacy of prayer and the presence of
God To the medical profession It has
done perhaps the greatest service in
checking, if not curing the material
ism which was so general in it's
ranks

Established in 1S61-A recent history of
Walla Walla county says: ''The journal
istic history Of Walla Walla has been essen
tally like that of other frontier American
communities. Hardly had the first settlers
secured the necessities of existence, before
some of them began to consider the advis-
ability of starting newspaper" Contin-
uing the historian says: 'Smith brothers
had purchased newspaper outfit of Asahel
Bush, among the material being the old
press of the Oregon Statesman, paper
published by Bush. Rather curiously, at
that very time another old press, this one

man at that time was weekly paper and
that number constituted nearly all Of the
adult residents of the region.
Since that early date the Statesman has
chronicled the joys and sorrows, the tri-
umphs and disappointments Of the people
Of this great Walla Walla country It has
seen the territory Of Washington grow and
ultimately assume the magnitude of state
hood.
The Statesman has recorded the personal
history Of every pioneer family Of the entire
Walla Walla country-the birth, achieve

two days of each other, but neither firm had
had any knowledge of the others intentions.
AS soon as they recovered from their sur
prise they decided to unite.''

New Steamship Service Brings Islands
Of Eternal Summer Within Few
Hours OF. American Metropolis

NEW YORK, March 4.-Bound from
New York's wintry shores to the magic
isles of eternal summer, the big steam
ship Prince George, of the new Ber-
muda-Atlantic line, sailed today with
scores of tourists abroad. The mag
nificent, modern liner brings Bermuda
to within day aud half from the
metropolis, and it's introduction into
the Bermuda trade has already marked
the beginning of a new epoch for the
British colony lying $50 miles to the
southwark of this city.
Never before has winter resort at
tanned such instant popularity as have
the 365. islands composing the Ber-
muda group, due to the Inauguration
of an adequate steamship service and
the rate war that followed From a
brick-yard truck garden, reached by
cattle steamers-the conception here
tofore entertained OF Bermuda by the
average New Yorker-the islands have
suddenly been transformed into sare
and secure refuge for that vast army
of Americans which fees before the
onslaughts of "the infantry of the
snow and the cavalry Of the wild

onions-fragrant and odorous combi-

The new Evening Statesman now takes
another step forward. It becomes modern
seven-day paper in conjunction with the
Morning Union and the Sunday Union
Statesman. It will ask no support nor fav-
ors upon its pioneer history, but solely upon
its merits as modern, newsy newspaper.
1t will give the news each evening in such a
manner that every person desiring the news
at that time of day will heartily support it's
efforts.

Never mind the tariff;
Never mind the slate
Which mentions new officials;

COMMISSIONER WATSON TOOK a
RIDE ON LOCAL STREET CARS
AND OBSERVED VIOLATION.

\. =. Watson, member Of the state
corporation commission, was in the
city this week. He stepped into the
street car for a ride to the park.
The first thing he observed was that
no separation of the races was de
manded on the cars. The colorod sec
ton was not placardcd. He said he
wanted to see this law obcyed I'm the
state. If negroes ride on the car no
white person shall be allowed to oc-
cupy their section and no negro shall
be allowed 10 occupy the section set
apart for the whites. Mr.. Y|arbrough
said that was II time he was slip.
ped up on. If he had known the com
missioner was coming he would have
been prepared for him. The sections
have been designated on the cars
but the placards have been blown OF
