The Swedish Workers.

Today countless thousands of workers
in Sweden have gladly accepted starva
ton to fight the battle of few textile
workers. French, German, Belgian and
English workers have sent them help.
The most miserable, poverty stricken
workers, almost, in the modern world, the
lockers of London, have sent to Sweden
their pennies.
If every decker had to cut off a piece
of his skin for the sake of his Swedish
brothers he would have no less gladly
made his contribution
Indeed, all strikers are won by heroism
no less wonderful than this grating of
human skin.
Sometimes the mind flags, despair casts
pail over the heart. SO few of the
workers think
There IS talk and talk and talk and 50
our books unopened.
And yet how heroic men really are.
Let the fight commence and how quickly
the multitude rush to baltic. No sacrifice
IS too great, no heroism too exacting.
They seem to understand unconscousy
the meaning of it all. 1t is the workers
or the workers.
And then how the blood leaps. We
taste life its highest plane. Books
| may be east aside, for in the fire of
| conflict men see and understand.
The other day n railroad worker was
! terribly scalded
! From the hospital the word came that
his life might be saved if some volunteers
would allow some of their skin to be
| taken and grated onto the sick man S
body.
Instantly several of his fellow work
men offered themselves up as a sacrifice.
! A lot of ould play different music
if had to dance to it.
Some people worry themselves sick
over other peoples troubles.
| The loudest singer in church generally
drops the smallest coin in the contribu-
ton plate.
| A few cuss words are sometimes safe
| ty valve to feelings.
Good manners are made up of little
sacrifices.
Impetuosity is the enemy of accom-,
plishment.
Persistency Will win-half- heartedness
spells failure
Necessity sets the pace that quickens
the march of progress.
The world can t respect man who
don t respect himself.
True friends and umbrellas seldom
at hand when wanted.
You are attempting a big task wher
you try to please everybody

TEACHERS ARE HERE

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ~~s~<>~-~~~>-s-->>~.s
this morning, President Axline said In
part:
HMis.ion Of the American Teacher"
whether or not we accept the doc
trina of evolution as furnishing the
satisfactory solution for the problems
presented by the growth in the mate
rial world, we cannot but admit that
the development of the human race
intellectually appears to follow the
laws laid down by the followers of
Darwin That we are here admits of no
dispute Why we are here. whence we
came. whittier we go, are questions
that have puzzled thinkers ever since
our first rude ancestors acquired intel
ligence sufficient to realize somewhat
of the mystery Of life and Of the great
er mystery CT death.
Great souls have Gro0ed in vain in
the impenetrable darkness by which
they were surrounded and have cried
aloud in their anguish as they realized
their impotency when confronted by
the great problems of existence. Only
to the greatest minds came the peace
which followed the realization that an
increasing purpose does run through
the ages and that back of the world,
back Of the universe is a power whose
.increa ing purpose is being developed
in tks HI tlfy of mankind-a power
which mig-t fulfill its purpose in some
other manner, but which does see fit
to allow man as the highest product
of its creation. to work up to the best
that is within him lies apparently
through his own efforts. How it is
done, we know not; but that man is
left to work out his own future, we do
know
1.-THE Greek gave to the world a
knowledge of philosophy and beauty
which has served for a standard for
all future ages; the Roman gave to the
world law and taught the lesson that
only by observance of law can true
progress be made; the Jew gave to the
world the true religion, for through the
Jew God chose to reveal himself to
the world; the Teuton taught the sa
meaning of real liberty. a truth which
the Anglo-S Saxon has carried to its
highest point, developing the science
of government to higher state of per-
lection than had ever before been at
tanned, though we are compelled to adj
NIT that he has by no means solved
all the problems of politics.

Visit the Pen.

Members of the Inland Empire
Teachers' association, Who are in the
city this week attending the sessions
in Whitman college chapel, visited the
penitsntary at 7:45 O'Clock this morn
ing and were escorted by officials of
the prison through the various depart
merts. The instructors were taken to
the prison on the electric cars, and spe-
cfal attention was given them so that
the interior Of the grim, gray buildings
could be closely inspected.
Members of the party who visited the
penitentiary, many of them for the first
time, were highly pleased with the re-
ception given them at the institution

Today is the fourth time that Waila
walla has had a generally-recognized
half holiday, designated as "Clenn-up

year were not as elaborate as IN

generally set out. especially on new
residence streets and lots. and flower
gardens grace many lawn Wnere
heretofore was nothing attractive.
Parkings came in for their full quota
of attention, and shrubbery dealers had
an excellent business throughout the

elusive attention, however, and IN
many instances unsightly trash heaps
have been done away with.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 31.-Definite
action will be taken during the pres

tant subjects of contention in the CAL
ifornia gisaturc-racetrack gambling
and the restriction of Japanese In the
senate the law against turf gambling,
which is modelled after the Hughes law
in New York and has already passed
the assembly, will be made special
order of business for Tuesday. Sen
ator George S. Walker one of the
sponsors for the measure, asserts that
not more than five senators will vote
against it.
A. M. Drew's anti-alien land BILL as
amended by him to conform to the
wishes of President Roosevelt, will be
favorably reported by the committee
on judiciary and action may be taken
on it on Tuesday, for which time it
probably will be made a special order
of business. This bill Is almost an ex-
act duplicate of the Oklahoma law. 1t
does not specify that aliens must be-
come citizens of the United States in
order to retain land or to purchase
land. 1t was because of the fact that
Mongolians are the only aliens barred
from citizenship that the president OBJ
jected to Mr.. DreW's first bill as be-
ing discriminatory against Japanese
and Chinese, 1t permitting all other
aliens to hold land by the process of
taking out citizenship papers.

hibit aliens from being members Of

Japanese in the public schools and
segregatng all undesirable aliens in
the residential districts will be taken
up as special order of business on
Wednesday. A feature of the fight

sideration of these measures will be
