CLIMATE AND EFFICIENCY OF
LABOR.

1t will pay in presenting the advant-
ages of Walla Walla as a place for the
establishment of more factories, to en-
phasiZe the weather The climate is
particularly good for all kinds of fac
tory work that tends to produce high
temperatures The thought is suggest
ed by the present suffering in the mills
of Pittsburg. Many workmen are pros
trated, according to the dispatches,
and in some factories a supply of sub
stitutes7 is kept in waiting to take the
places of men who give out because
of the great heat and the sultry at
mosphere The heat of the last four
days caused four deaths in Pittsburg
besides scores of prostrations. A
prostration from heat is unknown here
whether a man is employed in the
fields, on the streets, in a store or in
a factory.
This is certainly an advantage that
VIII appear " ID WISE Ci
OF course it is necessary to have ma
terials and to have a market. There
is in this vicinity material immeasure-
able and the growth of the northwest
is rapidly creating markets. 1t is a
safe assumption that the efficiency of
factory employees in the Inland Empire
is much higher than the average be-
cause of the cool climate and absence
of oppressive atmospheric conditions
common in the cyclonic areas east of
the Rocky mountains.
Wal1a Walla has many other advan-
tages but above all there is the kind
of climate that insures a. high degree
of comfort and efficiency to- working
mene That is something to tell men of
the east who think of building in the
Pacific northwest.

THE PRACTICAL WAY.

The man who sends away to bar
gain house for his buggy is not good
citizen. The man who orders his
groceries from a mail-order catalogue
is not the right kind of a man to make
q good town. The best and the most
practical way to boost a city is to buy
everything you can right at home.
The home merchant is entitled to the
entire patronage of the city. He helps
bear the public expenses; he sub
scribes to local public enterprises; he
bears his portion of the local taxes.
The man who fills the mail orders
does none of these things. There are
more men in WalIa Walla who are adj
dicted to this mail-order habit than
the average citizen guesses. There is
in the city a list of men who habitu
ally buy their supplies from these mail
order establishments. Every man
whose name is on this list is depend
ent upon Walla Walla for his living
How general would this local support
be if that list were made public? Yet,
it would be only fair to the advertis
ing. patrons of this paper to make the
list public.

interest by acquired. if not by original
right.
Woman has legitimately laid the
foundation for her demand for suffrage
in the church The argument in sup
port of that suffrage is much stronger
than has ever been urged in favor of
political suffrage, and obviously as it
would seem from the predominant ac-
tivity of woman in church affairs. That,
in view of this fact, Insecurity should
control the church, may be seized upon
by the advocates of woman's suffrage
as of forceful bearing upon the gen
eral subject. 1t may be dwelt upon
as a special instance of the injustice of
the worlds attitude toward woman in
this voting and governing business. Be
that as it may, the church offers yul-
nerabIe point of attack by the woman

man would do we'll to capture If she

A PROPER FIELD FOR EQUAL
SUFFRAGE.

There is local notification that wo-
mans rights is about to make an as
sault upon the Baptist church. AS a
tentative proposition, looking to larger
victory outside the church, there is
logic in the movement. No field of ac-
tiyity is so far specialized by women as
the church field; nowhere else is the
influence of the woman so intensely in
evidence. Women give to the church.

total of their devotion to church pro-

ST. MICHAELS, Nd. June 26.-The
latest theory concerning the death OF
Mrs. Edith Thompson Woodill, whose
nude body was found in the river near
here, is that she was killed because
she refused to submit to an attempt to

1t is also believed that the woman
met her death in Roberts bungalow,
and her body thrown in the river A
letter to his wife, known as Winnie

police believe wasi the money he hoped

letter that he took no part in the trag-

and removed the evidence of the crime

JUDGE REFUSES TO
DON JUDICIAL GARB
Says No Penalty Attaches to the Law
and Proposes Its Repeal.

VANCOUVER, Wash. June 20
Judge w. w. McCredie, of the superior
court of this district, has not yet hae
his judicial gown made, and has ne
intention of doing so. He stated to-
day that he believed that the state
should pay for the gowns, and if the
county commissioners would pay fol
one for him he would wear it, re-
luctantly, however.
$50 far as 1 can find, there is nc
penalty attached to the law. l cannot
understand how the state can legis-
late to specify what kind of clothes
a judge should wear said Judge Nc
Creole.
But one firm of tailors has made any
attempt to sell Judge McCredie a jul
dicial gown, but he has not given his
order yet.
1t is understood that Hon w. w
Sparks, from Clarke county, is to in
troduce a bill repealing the law re-
curing superior judges to wear gowns
so if Judge McCredie can worry along
without wearing one until the law is
repealed, he will be ahead of the game
from $50 to SIS, according to the style
of gown he would have picked out, but

SCH|v[LY SAYS HE
WILL DISCLOSE ALL
Will Make a Clean Breast Before the
LegisIature-Just How Far This
Will Go Is Not, as Yet,
Determined.

OLYMPIA, Wash, June 26.-Sen-
sational disclosures are expected when
the hearing of the Schively impeach-
nent proceedings shall take place,
perhaps next week. Schively has
openly announced that he will make
clean breast of many things which
have been in doubt when he shall
come face to face with the loss of his
citizenship and the smirching of his
name for all time. Just what he
means and just how much he will
disclose are problems which have had
much to do with the determination Of
the legislature to probe, to the bot
tom the whole matter.
The legislature now faces another
condition of importance. So far it
has been impossible for the two
houses to agree upon the exact line
Of legislation to be followed, and a
stream of general legislation is likely
to begin to flow toward the house and
the senate as soon as the bodies con-
vene next week. In the event of the
consideration of general bills the ses-
sion will likely extend over several
weeks, no one assuming now to pre-
dict anything for the future life or
work of the body. Early in the ses-
sion it was apparent that an effort to
inject general legislation would be
met by strenuous opposition from all
sides, but fths N1es have been let
down, largely, and there is every
chance for prolonged consideration
Of appropriation bills, the repeal of a
number Of laws which are considered
vicious by "a large part of the con-
sentative element, and the enactment
Of a number of laws which were de-
feated at the regular session. Copies
of printed bills, from some source, not
well known, are in circulation about
the capitol, it having been foreseen
that the investigation would not take
up all the time of the extraordinary
session.
If Schiveiy makes good in his threat
to unearth things" the state of
Washington will have a thorough
house cleaning before snow flies.
Schively has been driven to despera-
ton by shortage of money, by perse-
cution on the part of his enemies, and
by prosecution in Spokane county for
his connection with the defunct Pa
ciflc Mutual Livestock Insurance COM
pany, the concern of which he was an
officer, while regularly acting as in
surance commissioner of the state.
The company went into bankruptcy
and the losses to farmers was heavy.
He is now under Indictment for his
connection with the concern and the
failure of it's resources to meet the
obligations which accumulated during
it's brief and eventfuI life.
Schively has never denied many of
the charges of Irregularities in his
office as a matter of fact has adj
mitted most of them to be true, and
justified himself with the fact that
the overcharges were not prohibited
by law. Hence, it will be impossible
for him to make a general denial in

others and by telling the whole story

those in township organizations, but
