is EITHER EXTREME NEEDED?

=
Whether it is better to swing from
one extreme to the other, making sure
way for reaction, or to progress grad
ually toward the desired end, thus
building step by step a structure that
will endure, and although it may nor
come so soon, is a question that az
mits of but one answer. The world
wasn't made in a day, neither have
the great institutions of law and or
der come to pass in single night.
Local option is offered the people of
Walla Walla and they will have the
opportunity to decide upon it at the
special election next Monday. Local
option! What does it mean in this
case. and under the present law:
Wholesale business in the liquor traf-
fic where retail sales are now being
made Men buying by cases where
they now buy by the glass. Debauches
where there is now treating. Blind pigs
in every alley walking saloon in
every hip pocket. Liquor served in
restaurants and hotels. In fact, liquor
wherever one wants it, with the adj
ded spice that it isn't just right TO
have it.
Extremism never has served any
good purpose. An extreme course mas
never served to win any victory. And
here in Walla Walla we cannot expect
to swing from one end of the pend
ulum's reach to the other and hope to
get results. For one extreme can be
as bad as the other. A mean course,
steered safely between the two ex-
tremes, with those at the helm VINO
are interested in tn city's welfare ano
development, would be safer, and with
al saner. There are those who have
something at stake, who are interested
in the progress of the city through in
terests of their own And to these
people, surely can safely be given
charge of the city.
At present, there is almost an ex-
IRENE in the saloon business. There Is
no limit to the number of saloons that
may be opened in the city, AMI there
is no limit to the number that may be
placed in any certain district, save as
10 0f nor
are lounging rooms and free lurrnes
Consequently, there is loiterinS IN the
saloons. therefore heavy drinking.
With the pendulum swung the other
way, these evils would not be cor
rected in the proper way. There would
be no saloons, it is true, that would be
known as such, but their substitutes
are worse Better, far better it would
be. to have regulated saloon that would
have as little of the bad qualities as
is possible.
This is the course the business men
of the city advise With the number of
the saloons regulated, their number as
regards position fixed, their lounging
features taken away, their license
fees doubled, the saloon row" elimin-
ated and the dives wiped out, Walla
Walla would be on mean course,
safe, and threatened by neither ex-
treme
Is either extreme needed? Is not a
safe middle course better?

Was a Smart Turkey.

Moping about the barnyard of Hen
ry Krause, farmer who lives on the
west shore of the lake, is a flock Of
turkeys so thin that their breastbones
cut chips out of the rails of the snake
fence every time they hop up on them.
In a small pen hard by is Salem, big
turkey gobbler. He has reached such
an advanced state of emaciauon that
he has ceased preening himself, fear
ing be will get his head entangled in
the bones and never get It out again.
Salem has long head. II is because
OF that that he and the turkey hens
have shriveled away to little more
than feathers, skin and bone. Salem
never read q Presidents Thanksgiving
proclamation. Neither has he any. in
telligent conception Of what Christ
mas means to mankind. In the several
years he has lived and ruled over the
Krause barnyard. however, he has
noticed that toward the end of No
vember and the end Of December each
year there has been q slaughter OF his
mates, and that the fatter they be-
came the better the farmer seemed
to like to kill them. With grief in his
heart he saw 20 turkeys slain last
Thanksgiving. Next day he called a
turkey conference and outlined a
course OF action to put an end TO the
killing.
Krause prided himself upon having
one of the finest focks of turkeys in
North Jersex A week after Thanks
giving Day he was agitated to dis
cover that all the turkeys were refus-
ing food and getting thin The farmer
did everything he could 10 make them
eat 1t was fruitless. The birds got
thinner and thinner. and the ground
was covered with rejected food. Krause
stood watching them to-day. He no.
ticed that when several turkey hens
attempted to eat the big gobbler, 6a-
lem, rushed at them furiously and then
led them to another part OF the yard,
where no such temptation assailed
them. Not until then did 1t dawn up
on Krause that long-headed Salem had
been forcing the flock to fast for 30
days to make the turkeys SO thin they
would be unfit for the Christmas mar
ket.
"I'll kill you TO morrow and send
you to a Newark boarding house."
Krause said to the gobbler as he fas-
tened him in small pen. "Then I'll
see II can't get the other turkeys in
shape for New-Year's market. It's too
late now for Christmas. ."--Greenwood

"The generosity that is often man
ifest in childhood is a trait so sweet,
go beautiful, that it is always appre-
ciated by the whole-hearted, broad
minded people," said a mother recent
ly. Generosity is not always a strong
Characteristic feature of childhood,
but sometimes It is just az natural as
childish laughter Encourage It when
It is apparent, for it will grow and
be broad trait in later years. We
sometimes hear that great hearted
ness is dead, that selfishness has taxi
on its place, but it is not dead; only
It gets discouraged and will die un-
less cared for. Sometimes generosity
springs from the heart OF a child
that has merely crust TO offer, again
rom the little Lord Fauntleroy of some
palatial home, but the innocent inn
pulse to do what is right, that which
will bring JOY to others, we can al
admire"

the Panama Canal G, l.. Bartlett,
Assistant Eniomologint In charge of
experimental field work. has worked
out the above statement; and as the
value of the crop of the past sehsOn
approximated eight billion dollars, he
estimates ravages OF The myriad IN
sects al about eight hundred million
dollars. That sum does not include
the loss to cereals and forage crops In
storage, nor to natural forests and
forest products; tie loss from those
two sources, at S1OOOO0,0OO each,
bringing the annual rural insect tax
to an even billion dollars.
In his statement Mr. Marriott says:
"This estimate Is based on the farm
price OF the crop actually harvested
and does not take into account tho
possible reduction value which would
follow the marketing of the larger
crop. Prices OF products must, there.
fore. be considered when estimating
the losses by insects.-The World

that the Grand Councillors should
stand when they ere received by the
Prince Regent, but the Regent did not
consent to this and therefore ii has
been decided that they will take seats
instead OF standing, while the Prince
Regent will sit In the centre and the
Grand Councillors WIN take seats on
the east and west However, the Grand
Councillors propose now to have e

Grand Councillors after making sal
