Cummins and Cannon.

Speaker Cannon will reply to Senator
Cumnins at Kansas City on the 18th in
slant He put aside a request for an
immediate reply. This warrants expecta-
lions of something both full and to the
point Mr.. Cummins Is a formidable an
tagonist, and Mr.. Cannon has crossed
tongues, so to say, with many able men
Of his generation.
That these men are sincere Is beyond
ell question. That both desire the well
fare Of the country is equally certain.
That both are republicans rests not upon
their own assertions-which are very
strong-but upon votes and other facts.
Both are protectionists. both for sound
money, both fervently believe in all the
leading tenets Of the great organization
to which they have given the best pow
ers of their manhood. The one has
been a republican governor Of Iowa. and
Is now a republican senator from that
state in the United States Senate. The
other is the Speaker OF the republican
House Of Representatives. and for nearly
a third OF century has represented. as
a republican. one of the militant repub-
lican districts of republican state In
the lower house OF Congress. If these
TWO men are not TepuDliCdHs, may
q republican be found?
In the heat of controversy men-even
the abiest-say i'll disested things Many
i'll disested things are now being said, and
on both sides. "If I am a republican, you
are not" This one hears from the one
side IF am a democrat. you are not. ;"
Such is a familiar charge on the other
side. The speakers appear very earnest
The crowds applaud The newspapers
glory in the arraignments and counter
arraignments. News is a very necessary
article of diet: and the man. politician or
other who makes two good stories grow
where only one grew before is public
benefactor.
But il is easily demonstrable that this
sort of thing can be carried too far. Men
may injure not only themselves. but their
party. by an excessive indulgence In ag-
gressive assertion. The greater their
ability and their credit with the public.
the greater the care they should exercise
in both statement and criticism. II they
permit their tongues to run away with
them, there Is no telling where they may
pull up, or In what condition.
On the tariff question-which is the
bone Of contention between the Iowa sem
dtOf ana SdnnOH-lueIS Is STOuHu
differences of opinion between republicans
without impeaching personal character or
party loyalty. Neither Mr.. Cummins nor
Mr.. Cannon would destroy the princi-
pie Of protection. They differ as to its
application. The one man would keep
the figures high here. the other there.
Both. in all probability. try to take. and
think they do take. q broad and national
view Of the question.
This reading out Of the party propo-
sition Is OF course absurd. No republican
Is q member Of his party by the leave
Of any other republican. II he leaves. he
reads himself out. Mr.. Cummins and
Mr.. Cannon are both in the party, and
will remain while they wish. The repub-
lican program Is not confined to the tariff
There Is much to be done. and an i'm
portant part Of 1t must be shaped before
the congressional elections Of next year.

For the second time this year the
bid for the construction of calvert

last night at a special meeting of the
board of public works. The bid was
recommended to Weikel before. but
the general council refused to let the
bid. asserting that il was too high.
Bids were advertised for again. and
there were three bids in last night.
but owing to the conditions only one
bid was eligible to be considered.
When the bids were opened the bid
of Thomas Bridges G. Sons was s4.-
1928. so; George w. Katterjohn, s4,-
779. and H. VI Wicket. s4.92S. The
bids of Katterjohn and Bridges q
Sons were for cash or payment ten
days after the work was received. and
as this was not according to the rules
BIZ which the contract was 20 be Let,
the board ruled out the bids. Al
though higher. the bid of Mr. Weikel
was considered reasonable, according
to the plan he has agreed TO receive

cause the prosecuting attorney re-
fuses to prosecute. The MARSHAL
says he has only seen three cases
in kennewick since the new law
went into effect, of cigarette smok-

eastern people. This is very good
regard for the law to have only
three cases seen in two months and
shows the people of Kennewick and
the valley that the prosecuting at

the cases because they have enough

they know that they will not be
punished for it-Prusser Record.

OF course there has been great
deal of road building since 1904.
The figures available for the last
four years are incomplete, but they
show that IT, percentage Of improv-
ed roads at present can hardly be
more than 8.
This is rather a poor showing in
comparison with some European
countries, and it is also unsatisfac-
tory when the fact is taken into &C
count that the cost of maintaining
the roads that we have was $780,
600, 900 in 1901. There is very
little to show for this enormous ex
penditure.
1t appears that the people Of the
United States need to learn econo-
my in road building as much as
they need instruction in the advan-
tages of good roads. They are al
ready spending a heap of money
