EN- MA GOLDMAN.

Emma Goldman the anarchist, con-
tinues to occupy the usual amount OF
space in print. The other day she was
brought into notice by the fact that an
rushed her and her companion, Alex
ander Berkman, into a luncheon of des-
pendants of the Mayffower pilgrims at
an exclusive country club. The identity
of these radicals was not disclosed un-
til after the luncheon, whene there was
an explosion. Yesterday in New York
Miss Goldman was prevented from
speaking in a hall, the police deeming
her remarks on the subject of Mod

for tolerance The meeting was dis
persed in great disorder, and arrests
were made. Berkman and Miss Gold
man, however slipped away in the con-
fusion and were not taken into Gus

Unfortunately no record was kept of
the woman's speech which caused the
police interference. If she is to be
watched thus closely some measures
should be taken to demonstrate her
dangerous character so plainly that
there will be no public dissent from
the official action. For a long time
Emma Goldman has been rated as a
firebrand, and it has been frequently
declared that she would be deported as
undesirable if il were possible to Sc
cure sufficient evidence, and if the laws
permitted. Yet nothing has been done
either because she does not fall under
the statutes or because she is toe
shrewd TO overstep the line in her pub
lie utterances.
Just at present this woman remains
in a middle ground of semi-tolerance
that is particularly dangerous. She is
neither treated as a radical worthy OF
absolute suppression nor given the full
freedom of speech. Consequently she
is enabled to pose as a martyr. and she

Raise Money for Park Fund

Jack Lambert's Busters created
quite a sensation up and down Alder
and Main streets last night The
quartet travelled the streets in the au-
tomobile being ratified off for the bene-
fit of the park fund. They did a
thriving business and are doing the
stunts for the benefit of the park fund
alone. Three of the men are string

BACKED and playing coon songs at a

beaten to a FRAGILE. Fields would,
however, doubtless come out from re-
tirement if he only knew of the local
talent that was running the streets
last night. Their stunts will be re-
peated this afternoon on the princi-
pal thoroughfares but cannot be more
successful than the performances of
last night. Lambert made quite a
hit with his whistling of "The Mocking
Bird" with the instruments accompany
ing him.

blossomed forth as a great educational

LEGAL EL0QUENCE
IS TURNED LOOSE
ABUSE ENTERS INTO CAL
HOUN TRIAL.
Defendants Attorneys lnterpose Siren

of Alleged Bribery.

SAN FRANCISCO, May "a tor
rent of legal eloquence was turned
loose in the trial OF Patrick Calhoun
yesterday, when John Helm, once a de-
tective in the employ of the United
Railroads was asked to relate the
details of an alleged attempt to pre-

had told of visits made to his ranch

CUBA.
From q Havana cable:

From a Havana cable:
Congress, after being in session for
more than three months, has accom-
plished little useful legislation, its time
being frittered away in flights of ora
tory and the discussion of trivial meas
ures, or those having merely partisan
bearing. Gov. Magoon's order, designed
to compel the attendance of members
under the penalty of loss of salary dur
ing absence. has been ignored since the
first session, and more than once adj
journment has been compelled by the
lack of a quorum
No grounds in this for American in
PREVENTION. In some things the Cubans
copy us closely. But they are not al
ways the best things. If both in Ha-
vana and Washington flights of ora
tory" could be cut out, and congress-
ional sessions devoted to business, with
businesslike explanations of measures,
Cubans and Americans alike would
benefit.

ABERDEEN M|LLMEN

FIVE HUNDRED MILL HANDS ON
GRAYS HARBOR WANT
HIGHER WAGES.
Local Mill Men Refuse to Grant La
borers' Demands and Hire
Strikebreakers.

ABERDEEN, Wash, May 29-Five
hundred sawmill hands are out on
strike today and it is predicted that
this number will be largely increased
when mills attempt to resume work
in the morning. The strikers demand
an increase in wages which the mill
men at a meeting late today refused
to meet. Although no disorder of a
serious nature has occurred so far,
trouble is predicted when the Ameri-
can mill attempts to start tomorrow.
The mill owners say they have ordered
500 men to take the strikers places
and it is feared that an attempt to
put them at work may be surrounded
with difficulties. Special policemen
were sworn in during the day and
the authorities have the situation
we'll in hand. The mill owners say
stagnant market was their reason
for refusal to grant the increase de-
manded.

WITH THE POETS

AS an introduction for this column
we have chosen the early American
poets, while they. have not been Long
fellows or Whittiers in style and re-
nown, they contributed a few short
verses and poems some of them rather
clever and full of pretty thought
Perhaps the first American poets de-
serving of mention came as late as
177G and mark a period in our litera-
ture which would extend from that time
to 1900. Literature up to that period
was closely copied after English poets,
and that which was original was the
illogical and historical The greatest
pretense at poetry was the versions of
the psalms by Mather and Eliot
Among the representatives of tbs
period the Hartford Wits" hold first
place. These men, John Trumbull, Joel
Barlow and Lemuel Hopkins, were all
students in Yale college although they
got their name by having lived in
Hartford, Conn.
Perhaps the best known of this trio
is John Turnbull. His style is satir-
zeal and copied somewhat after HUI
dibras." The following is an extract
from his poetical works:
Our Hero's wit and learning now may
Be proud by token of diploma
Of that diploma, which with speed
He learns to construe and to read,
And stalks abroad with conscious stride
In all the airs of pedant pride,
With passport signed for wit and
knowledge
And current under seal of college.
Few months now past, he sees with pain
His purse as empty as his brain.
His father leaves him then to fate
And throws him off as useless weight
But gives him good advice to teach
A school at first, and then to preach
Thou reasonest well, it must be 50;
For nothing else thy son can do.

ognize the superiority OF the college
graduate and his degree often proves
a more valuable testimonial of ability
than personal recommendations. The
citizens of Walla Walla who should

building up great college in this city,
can show their sincerity in encourage
ing and lending a helping hand to
the graduates as they leave the scenes
of their training and begin life as
men and women among men and wo-
men On the other hand every student
should go forth from his college with
the realization that he carries on his
shoulders more than the response
bility of self. He should know and
appreciate that his success will help
to bear up the good name of the coll
lege and the cause Of his failure will
find only too easy a way to the doors
of Whitman.
