OUR POSITION

The city campaign is on and no
personal issues are involved, for
which all should be thankful, but
policies and measures of much i'm
pOrtanCe to every taxpayer WITHIN
the corporate limits of the city are
involved l>lleusbure is no Longer

that extent he feels that he can
Justly lay claim to the privilege OF
expressing his sentiment relative
to matters that cost him, and not
only him, but all within the city
limits manv dollars.
1t is a well known fact that
much dissatisfaction exists with
the present administration i'll re
gard to the police Department,
which all know ought not to exist
and while we have no disposition
to iinpugu the motives of any one
or even insinuate personalities, We
believe it would be to the best in
terests of all concerned that the
Peoples party ticket be elected
for the reason that it stands pledged
to abolish existing evils and work
to to the end of bigger, better and
cleaner Ellensburg, which all know
that we should look forward tc
right now, if we ever expect any
great things to come to us.
Of course the present adminiS-
tration has made a record and that
record is publib property and il il
becomes necessary to do so, We
NAV in future issues make some
reference to it. but if we do, We
shall not resort to abuse or vltu
peration, for nothing is gained by
such work, but we shall try to
handle the matter in such way as
to give credit wherever it belongs
and Censure where needed.

OUR NAVY.

q One hopeful sign in our own coun-
try is that the future evolution of the
navy promises to be along lines that
may make for economy. The strate-
gists having doomed the light cruis-
ers and other auxiliary vessels, the
navy promises to be confined to two
classes, the battleships and the des-
troyers. Simplified batteries are prom
ised for. the dreadnoughts, and mas
much as the naval battles of the flu
tureA are likely to be confined largely
to long range fighting, it is probable
that fewer warships will be needed and
that no exhaustive addition to our
present program need be made. AS far
as our country is concerned, it must
maintain navy sufficient to operate
if need be against any hostile power in
either ocean, so that we have a direct
interest in every proposal to fix a
limit for European fleets.

THE MEN IN THE MINE.

No words can tell in all it's horrors
the story of the sufferingsA experienced
by the men who were imprisoned for
week in the burning mine in Illinois
and were finally rescued They were
without normal food and were forced
to rely upon tobacco bark from the
timbers and even the leather of their
shoes for the maintenance of life. For
the quenching of their thirst they
trusted to the water seeking through
the veins of the coal. They were In
the dark, endangered by the fire, by
the gases and by the possibility OF
caving roofs Their hope of rescue
was faint In addition to the terrors
of their situation they were menaced
by the treachery of some of their own
number, who could not realize the ne
cessity of organization and perfectly
fair dealing.
In the history of American mining
there have been many disasters, and
numerous instances of heroism under

THE. NICARAGUAN AFFAIR.

The demand of the United States
government upon President Zelaya for
an immediate and full explanation Of
the execution of two Americans cap
tured in the ranks of the insurgents
is eminently proper. While a foreign
er serving in a revolutionary force
practically forfeits his right to pro-
lection by his own government, inter-
national custom and justice demand
that foreigners SO serving who are
captured should not be summarily
dealt with or punished in any way
without due process of law. While the
sentence of death by court-martial is
still recognized as a legitimate pun
ishment of rebels caught with arms
in their hands, common practice in
modern times has dictated more lem
lent treatment, except where the cir
cumstances showed that the conduct of
rebels has been exceptionally fragrant.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-11-26

ground have been recorded. In all
cases where groups of men have been
imprisoned by caving walls or by fire
there have been heroes ready to sac
rifice their own lives for the weaker
ones, and natural leaders assuming the
burden of direction. Unhappily, there
have also been selfish, cruel men ready
to take advantage of the darkness TO
prey upon their fellow sufferers. At
Cherry this was the experience. An
old man was deemed to be in need of
more water than the others, but some
wretch tried to deprive him Of his
share 1t is to the infinite credit of
those poor fellows, caught in living
tomb, that they protected the weaker
one and subjected the thief to rough
discipline.

GOOD TIMES.

Trade indicae during the past week
showed a continuance of the previous
activity In some departments there
were signs that high tide. has been
reached in the price movement. While
these took the form of slight sreces-
sions the active demand makes it evil
dent that the general price level will
be practically maintained. It's pro-
longed continuance is the more likely
from the fact that the price boom
has not been carried to a point that
checks consumption and necessitates
notable recession of prices. This
is said especially of the iron and steel
trade

your life as wife and mother and
daughter and friend and neighbor"
If you are fulfilling all the relations
and conditions of your life, however
humble they may be, just as well as
you possibly can. you may make I'M
your mind that you are filling iust
as important part in the big scheme
of things as if you were a college
president, and that you are probably
doing infinitely more good than Won
have any, idea of.
Did you ever hear William Moodev's
little story of the Kings Flower Gar
den?
Then listen.
Once upon a time a certain king
went into his flower garden one morn
ing and found everything withered
and dying. He asked an oak that
stood near the gate what the trouble
was. He found that it was sick of life
and determined to die because it was
not tall and beautiful like the pine:
the pine was out of heart because it
could not bear grapes like the vine;
the vine was going to throw its life
away because it could not stand erect
and give as fine fruit as the pomegran-
at; and so on throughout the garden.
Coming to the heart's-ease the king
found it's bright face uplifted as full
of cheerfulness as ever
''WelL hearts ease" said the king,
Il am glad to find one brave little
flower in this general encouragement
and dying. You don't seem one bit dls-
heartened."
mo, your majesty" answered the
hearts ease, II know 1 am of small ac-
count but I concluded that you want
ed heart's-ease when you planted me.
If you had wanted an oak or vine or
a pomegranate you would nave set
one out, so I am bound to be the best
heart's-ea that ever I can"
Reckon I don't have to point out the
moral tO that tale
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-11-26

he met opposition Mr.. Rayner would
have been assessed for only share
of this sum. Twesxe thousand dollars
would still have covered the expenses
of the election.
If Mr. Rayners burden is heavy, the
state saves by the primary. When the
legislature meets the election of sem
ator will be a mere formality. The
people have spoken, and the democratic
majority in that body will register
their will. Delays and scandals are
rendered impossible. The rolls will be
called, the senator chosen, and the
legislature will proceed to laWmaklng.
Let us suppose no expression taken
as to senator. Let US suppose the leg
islature uninstructed on that subject
Will Mr.. Rayner be assured of clear
field? No opposition was manifested
at the time the primary was called.
but that is no assurance that, with an
opportunity, opposition would not now
appear. Annapolis might witness an
influx of machine politicians from all
over the state, with schemes to for
ward and personal axes to grind, and
senatorial candidates, for trading pur-
poses might spring up over night
Everything might be halted for weeks
at heavy cost to the state, pending the
plays of men bent upon personal OF
machine advantages.
In whatever is done to correct the
matter disclosed in this Rayner race
the purposes of a primary expression
as to senatorial contests should not be
impaired Instructing legislatures on
the subject has, with but one or two
exceptions, worked well wherever it has
been tried States have gained by it
both as to the quality of the men
chosen and as to delays and scandals
averted. Far better that primary cleo
ton expenses should fall heavily on
senatorial aspirants than that the pub
lie business should suffer, as in the
old fashion, by the scramble OF men
for legislative favors and combinations
for corrupt ends.
1t is not understood that Mr.. Ray
ner is complaining. His bill looks big,
but he has received the worth of his
money. He will not shoot the waiter
He sought and obtained the indorse-
ment of his course in the senate and
that is an achievement carrying great
satisfaction The senatorial prize is
everywhere regarded as one of the
greatest in the country.

THE MARYLAND PRIMARY.

AS the only democratic candidate in
Maryland for United States senator,
Mr.. Rayner was Obliged to bear the
expenses of the primary election relat-
ing to that office. Under the law such
an election was necessary, although
Mr.. Rayner had no opposition.
The bill is large for one man to pay
but not large for the work performed
Taking the sentiment of a state in
such a manner calls for money, and
Mr.. Rayner paid about twelve thou
sand dOllarS-a sum approaching the
salary of a senator for two years. Had
