BELIEVE IN PLAN OF
USE OF CONVICTS
ON HIGHWAYS.
Leaves This Afternoon For
Spokane to Attend
Roads Meeting.

Governor M. E. Hay. who has Just
Washington, and who is in the city to-
day making his first official inspection
of the state penitentiary, is an enthu-
slastic good roads advocate, and is
heartily in accord with the recent
movement whereby the highways of
the state may be improved by convict
labor. In speaking Of plans for execut-
ing the work, Governor Hay this morn
Ing said:
''The board of control will
receive bids next week on
two plants and as soon as
they are purchased, they will be pla-
ced, one at Deception Pass and one
near Spokane. There is an unlimited
supply Of rock at Deception Pass. AL
though the matter has not yet been
definitely decided, we have talked OF
putting one plant in the Walla Walla
valley and I would like to see one OF
the crushers here The other one we
think we will place on the Central
Washington or in the Yakima val
ley. I will meet with the advisory
in Spokane this week Of which Sam
f1lll IS president.
"At the last legislature, an appro-
priation of $4,000 was made for the
rock crushing plants; 100000 of this
is for equipment; $4,000 for supplies
and maintenance and $4,000 for testing
rock"
Railroad Figures.
Railroads have submitted figures
showing that crushed rock cost them
81 cents a cubic yard, but the state
will be able to produce it at a much
less cost The railroads Of the state
have offered to haul the crushed rock
for one-half cent a ton a mile and
believe that in short time every
county in the state will be customer
for this rock 1t will be sold to the
counties at very small profit, but
this difference will go great ways
in cutting down the expenses Of the
state institutions and the rock will be
a good thing for the counties and state.
The good roads movement Is the COM
ing thing for this state and there Is
a building now being erected at the
exposition at Seattle that will be
known as the Good Roads building.
There will be a lecture in this building
every morning and afternoon on good
roads" In talking Of the different
ways of financing good roads. the gov

"PolIy of the Circus"

If there is in Walla Walla persons
who incline to the belief that they
should draw their skirts aside pharl-
saically from folk of the foOtfights and
the sawdust ring, they should forth
with HE themselves to the Keylor
Grand theater Friday and gather few
hints from Frederic Thompson's Polly
of the Circus" If you know anyone
whose tendency is to pass: on the other
side. anyone who is soured by the world
anyone who has lost faith, send that
one to hear from the lips of Polly of
the Circus the old, old words: Width
er thou goest, / will go" for THY peo-
pie shall be my people and thy God

to gather that Mr.. Pinsuti refers 10
Herr Oscar Hammerstein as the flu
ture grand mogul of musical art. He
says:
There is no question that there is a
move on foot to monopolize grand
opera under one management The in
dcations are too apparent not to
merit serious attention, for ambitious
producers have for some time been
amassing groups of capital for this
purpose Should monoDolistic cOntroi
assert itself fully the results are abvi-
ous-there would be d pronounced
decadence in operate standards and
the manipulating of scattered opera
houses for profit only.
Then, too, the salaries of artists
would suffer and the best talent of the
world would not come to these shores
If an American opera trust is permit
ted to throttle art there could be nc
reputation of value attained in the
United States. and with salaries no
higher. and probably lower, than in
Europe, artists would prefer to re-
main there"

The moral philosopher might find a
subject for philosophising in this con-
test. The interest is by no means con-
fined to the youngsters. The candi-
dates for king and queen are adult
human beings, presumably gifted with
some measure of human intelligence.
Moreover, they are --ew Iorners,
those wisest and most sophisticated
of persons. Behold them contesting
strenuously and even bitterly for the
empty honor of mimic kingdom.
Mayhap there are rubes and yaps in
the rural districts whose hearts de-
light in the prize pumpkins and the
merry go-round at the county fair.
1t is yet certain that such as these
do not take their joys so seriously
as do the would-be kings and queens
