LEST WE FORGET

A mob reigned recently in Cairo.
and that city was disgraced. Passion
was Embossed, and a white and a black
man were hanged to telephone poles
and their bodies riddled with bullets
before the fury of the mob was stated.
From the mayor Of Cairo we have
official explanation of why the
shocking tragedy happened. He said:
"There has not been an official execu-
ton in Cairo for 10 or Is years, and
the city has had its share of murders.
Juries have failed to convict, or have
convicted for minor degrees. 1t has
been possible for murderers to escape.
In fact, murder in Cairo has, 1 regret
to say, been tolerably safe. The feel
ing against crime that has so long been
suppressed has found vent
The vent that the escape of Grim
inals found was an enraged popu-
lace, the night of terror and the
reign of passion. 1t was the fruit
of partnerships between the authori-
ties and crime. There is limit to
which communities will submit to CO.
operation between officers and crooks.
Where the practice is long enough con-
tinued a reckoning always comes, and
sometimes, as in the case of Cairo, it
is awful. The fancied securely of Of
Tending authorities of today may be
the spark to light a conflagratiOn to-
morrow Always, peril turks beneath
the surface, deep perhaps yesterday,
but ready to break out tomorrow.

is MIXED
in CASES

SEATTLE, Nov 19.-The name or
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, has been
brought into prominence in the hear
ing of the Alaska coal land cases,
which are in progress here in connec-
ton with the Cunningham claims.
From the testimony contained IN eX-
hibits introduced yesterday, it appears
that for more than two years after
Hepburn became senator, Cunningham
carried a coal land claim in Alaska
for him, in consideration for his legal
services. Throughout his term Hey
burn has opposed the forest reserve
and other conservation policies advo-
Gated by Roosevelt Following the in
PRODUCTION of private note book of
Cunningham containing the above in
formation, an affidavit given by Cum
ningham to CLAWS, was presented. The
affidavit declares that when Cunning
ham discovered the coal land could
not be taken under the mineral laws.
Hepburn decided to withdraw from
the pool
In substantiating, he quotes a let
| ter from Hepburn saying:
ct don't desire to participate in or
be interested in any manner in &C
quiring public lands. I prefer during
nv official career to be absolutely free
from any possible interest in the sub
ject of legislation. Whatever services
/ may properly render within my duty
as a public official, l will do for you. l
shall cheerfully perform, but not for
any consideration, directly or indi-
rectly.'

ital stock of 100000. Every known
patent of combined harvester and
thresher is manufactured under it's
control. The machines now made by
the combine are the Daniel Best, man
ufactured at San Leandro, Cal, the
Jr., manufactured here and at Stock
tom Cal, and the McRae machine,
which, has been the product of the
Spokane Harvester company until the
company became the new organization
controlled by the Holt people. Benja-
min Holt, an uncle of the secretary
of the new Northwestern Harvester
company is president of the combine,
which is backed by influential western
capitalists The secretary of the new
company has been the northwest rep
resentative of the Holt company for a
number of years.
The Northwestern Harvester COM
pany will continue to operate in Spo-
kane and throughout the year will en-
ploy steadily about 100 men. The old
Spokane company operated only part
of the year and with about so men.
Neither Mr. Hunt nor Mr.. Holt is
in the city today, but statements made
by those who are conversant with the
affairs of the company, are taken to
indicate that the change will make lit
tie difference with the manufactures
as formerly with enlargements as
demanded by the growing business.

By Critic


That man Knauer is either a genius
or a freak. We, in Walla Walla, can
not pass upon his merits as a piano
solo virtuoso, but we can truly say we
have never before heard such sympa-
thetic accomplishments. The way he
supports, assists, fills in, lends back
ground, landscape, atmosphere, to the
soloist is a liberal education and a
miracle of self effacement Under his
touch the piano, the most mechanical
of musical instruments, almost rises
to the place of honor accorded the
violin.
Miss Adams, the 'cellist, was reve-
lation to Walla Wallans. After seeing
woman play the "Schubert's Serenade"
we heard a man say: II will never
again willingly see or hear a man play
cello. 1 want to preserve the mem
DRY of this performance, as a mental
picture, with Miss Adams in the fore
ground, beautiful to see, and heavenly
to hear"
Macmillan Dick must himself be a
human violin. Walla Wallans have
never before seen or heard anything
so nearly approaching a human-me-
chanical composite. He can Surely
make the violin talk and sing to him
who had listening, musical ear. The
man and his instrument fuse, as it
were, and the listener, oblivious to both
man and instrument, is entranced in a
harmony of melody. Thank you, Mr.
Dick!
Singing, as exemplifed by Mrs.
Pearle- Meyer, is so easy and graceful,
that We can't help wondering why all
Walla Walla girls do not take it up.
1t is marvellous, the apparent ease with
which this charming woman sings.
What in other artists who have visited
Walla Walla, seemed to be exhibitions
of vocal gymnastics, with Mrs. Peare-
Meyer was as easy as parlor ping pong.
Nothing spectacular; nothing labor
ious, everything so easy and mellif1u-
Gus, that she left her auditors eager
even hungry-for more, and wishing
they could have the opportunity to
hear her do her utmost"

The audience has been composed
almost wholly of men so far, Mrs.
Dixon being the only woman in the
court room during the morning ses-
sion.
The selection Of the jury in less than
a day and a half of actual work was
a great surprise to everyone interested
in the trial Since the greater part of
the week was consumed before with
out even getting IL men passed for
cause the general impression prevailed
that fully a week would be required
this time. Even after such rapid prog
ress was made the first day it was not
believed that jury would be selected
before noon today, if by that time.
Attorneys for each side outlined
their case and adjournment was taken
until yesterday morning at 9 o'clock.
when the taking of testimony was
started. According to the statement of
counsel for Ryan, self-defense is to be
the plea with which they will fight
the case. They will undertake to
show that Ryan had reason to be-
lieve he was in danger of great bodily
harm at the hands of Shubert and DIX
on, when he fired the fatal shot.
On the other hand, the state will
undertake to prove that the killing
was unprovoked, unjustifiable, and in
accordance with threats previously
made by Ryan.

ARE!AL ADVERTISING.

On the fiat surface of the roof of an
flee building in New York is painted
eighteen-story cloud scratcher' Of
the advertisement Of an enterprising
manufacturing concern. Though it
may be read by the tenants of the up
per stories Of a. forty-story building
adjoining, it is not designed primari-
ly for their eyes, but for the down.
ward gaze of airship voyagers.
There are already those who are
apprehensive lest the billboard nuis-
ance hitherto confined to the obnoxious
vertical manifestation, shall launch
out horizontally, and cover the fresh,
green landscape Of rural neighbor-
hoods with garish proclamations Of
the merits of patent medicines and the
virtues of devices to make the wash
ing of clothes or cooking or shaving
ones self a delightful operation. The
that horizontal advertising would
prove too costly-an acre on edge is
not nearly so expensive an an acre
fiat upon the ground The horizontal
advertising, that he who flies may
read, will be put on fiat roofs, as high
above the ground as the builders dare
to go, and as more and more of the
advertising is transferred to where it
may be aeroplanely read, there will be
less and less of the billboard nuisance
to vex the sight of wingless mortals
at the earth level.
1t must be hoped that the genius of
advertising will not find out a way of
utilizing the clouds, as civilization
mounts skyward, and the trunk lines
of traffic are planned to dodge aerial
maelstroms, alight in oaces of COM
able atmospheric conditions prevail. 1t
would be distressing to have the
searchlight write, in lines of living
| fire on the night, the names burnt In
upon our memories by terrestrial ad-
vertisements which we had assembled

scars into the empyrean, the distant
thunder cloud is to be scared with the
name of a soap or a certain brand OF

to fly.

the repetition of the frauds.
The different prosecutions of the
sugar trust may be divided under three
heads, taken in chronological order:
First, the prosecution receiving re-
bates; second the Weighing frauds:
third, the Earle case. .
"The cases were begun by Roose-
velt's administration nearly four
years ago, when Henry Stimson was
appointed federal attorney in the
southern district of New York, with
special reference to the prosecution of
these offenses. The result was that i'm
seven months the sugar trust was
convicted and made to pay over four
times as much as any rebate ever be-
fore collected under the rebate law.
The total in fines collected from the
American Sugar Refining company and
subsidiary companies was $4,000,
whereas the largest fine before collect
ed had been $4,000.
"a fine of sufficient size will stop the
evil He established a legal prece-
dent without the amount of fine being
exaggerated, and the extent Of which
might have provoked a reaction of SEN
timent"
Then follows "a discussion of the
merits of the cases.

AN OUTDOORS SCHOOL.
Oregon JournaD


Results of an outdoors school con-
Quoted this summer in Chicago are at
tracing wide attention. 1t showed
with striking reality what can be ac-
complished in the rescue of children
from the shadow of enfeebling and
wasting disease. The outdoors school
was conducted but single month, and
the pupils were either tuberculous or
from tubereulous families.
Thirty pupils were in attendance.
The school was conducted under
canopy, where the children could
space. According to the official
report of the school and its results,
at of the 80 children were first
stage cases of pulmonary tubercu-
losis, two had tubercular glands and
all were pronounced re-tubercular.
Sixteen had been and 10 were still
directly exposed to tuberculosis in
their homes, while in the case of
the other four there was no evidence
of direct exposure" The ages rang
ed from to 16 years, and on account
of sickness, none of them had attend
having been absent for months at a
time. They came from Is different
homes The report continues: "The
families averaged seven children liv-
ing in four rooms. Only three of the
children slept alone. Fourteen of the
families paid not over SO month
rent. In only nine families was the in
come over $12 a week; in all others il
ranged from SO upward Eight of the
families had been or were then receiv-
ing aid" The children were washed
and bathed and fed nourishing food give
times day. They were taught to take
exercise, to breathe deeply, to reve
in the sunshine and to sleep in the
open air.
According to the report, the tota

was rs pounds, the range being from
one to seven pounds. Twenty-Five

100000 while the fraternies own or

sS,000,0OO. The question has often
been raised as to the usefulness of
college fraternities, but we believe that
few college men will question their
value AS social fraternal organizations
they form a very pleasant part of COL
lege life and no fraternity that does
not endeavor to inculcate good princi-
pies among it's members, some of whom
are generally to be found as faculty

occasionally local chapter becomes
