the most courteous treatment, and his

adherents of both sides. Everyone is

no reason why you should try to in
terfere with anyone's belief. If you
don't like the way some one talks,

of lots and the digging Of graves are
practically the only sources Of in

be but adding to the expenses with
out increasing the income. The water
supply for the burying ground is not
what is desired, the men in charge OF
the various sections of the pace be-

sues? Do you want your sons to be
confronted by bootleggers at every
turn, or will you have saloons so reg
ulated that there will be little danger
of them taking a drink. Do you want
a revolution in the business condi-
lions of the city, such as will be
bound to occur, disturbing and holding
back the cityss growth for months
perhaps for years? Can Walla Walla
afford to take the chance now, at
time when she is on the verge OF an
UNPARALLELED prosperity? Where does
the best interest of Walla Walla lead
you? Who is the most affected, ana
who has done most to build up the
city? Who then, can be trusted to take
care Of it's welfare?
Our answer to the last two questions
is that the business men are the most
deeply affected. They can be trusted
in other things, and we would trust
them nthis case. We see no reason
why We should not trust them here?
Do YOU? Can you not trust them? ? We
can, and we do.

COMMUNICATED.

To The statesman:
Reading Your holiday edition I can
not say too much for the Union
Statesman enterprise and that of the
business men and people generally
which made it possible. 1t certainly
speaks volumes for Walla Walla and
people with you.
In unity there is strength and as long
theirs is no doubt Of it's continued
prosperity. 1t has been said that all
the cities of the Northwest took their
cue from Portland in building, but
this is mistake. Portland never set
the pace for anything and it was the
great earthquake and fire in San
Francisco that gave it it's present i'm
pulse They ought to have started e
years ago, whereas .Walla Walla began
building some years previous.
