Mr.. RCOSEVELT'S VACATION.

Elk President Roosev~e has sailed
for his long vacation in the African
jung es. In many respects this is the
NOSE unique presidential I'M
dertaking ever conceived; but 1t is
fitting that Mr.. Roosevelt should con-
tinue to do unique and extraordinary
things. Certainly this is a vacation
that is ideally to the liking of the
strenuous Theodore, and he will no
doubt enjoy it greatly.
Less than a month ago Mr.. Roose-
welt occupied one Of the most exalted
atoms in the world. He was the
head of a government of nearly a
hundred million people. Today he is
a private citizen going hunting. Fortu-
nately he is possessed of sufficient
means 10 enjoy himself in his own
way. The retirement of Mr.. Cleveland
was more or less pathetic, for he was
obliged to begin at once earning a
living for himself and his family. He
had little time for play. But he worked
on bravely to the end and retained the
high respect of the American people.
There are various opinions as to
the ethical principles involved in the
Roosevelt hunting expedition. Some
insist that it is undignified and friv-
olous for an eX-president to go forth
for more than a year of semi savagt
existence Others declare that the
hunting prOclivities of Mr. Roosevelt
instill an unfortunate theory in the
minds of the youth of the land. Still
others have protested vigorousl!
against the intended game slaughter
But when all is said, the fact remain:
that Mr.. Roosevelt is now a pr1vat,
citizen with the privilege of doins
what he pleases. If he ever felt al
obligation TO preserve his dignity i
did not interfere with the wonderful
stunts" that were done at the White
House and on the hunting fields of tn
west.
The American people join il
wishing Mr.. Roosevelt good luck anC
a joyful vacation. His presidential pol
Icies displeased many people, AM
some hold that his administration wa
disastrous TO our national prosperity
but none wishes him i'll. Let him
shoot lions and leopards to his heart
content while congress wrestles witt
The big government deficit and tn
business interests of the countr.

to their business, returning to Walla
Walla by 8 o'clock the following morn
ing. The morning train, arriving at
Walla Walla at 9 o'clock, with the
train leaving at $3.50 in the evening,
enables shoppers from the country to
have all day in the city and return in
good time in the evening. With all
the talk about the difficulty Of reach
ing Walla Walla from the outside, a
study of the train service in and out
of the city at the present time will
show that there is not another city in
the state that is more favored.
Not only can passengers leave Walla
Walla in the evening, do their shopping
and return by O'Clock the following
evening, but with the North Bank
train in operation those who SO desire
may leave here in the morning, spend
the day, looking after business interests
in any of the larger cities of the coast,
and return early next morning.

REGRADE is OPPOSED
BECAUSE IN WAY OF
FLOWER GARDENS

BELLINGHAM, March 25-Declar-
ing they have only one life to live
that they mean to enjoy it and do not
intend to allow such things as street
improvements to interfere with their
pleasure, a number of residents of
Champion street appeared before the
board of public works this morning
and registered objections against the
proposed Improvement of the street 1t
is planned to regrade the street, and
it appears that if this is done certain
flower gardens will be put out of COM
mission. 1t is this that the residents
object to. They declare that they
want to enjoy life. and that in order to
do this it is necessary to have flowers
in the front yards. They don't care
anything about regrades and asphalt
pavements, but they do want flowers
and flower gardens. Hence the COM
plant, which was promptly oyerruled
by the board.
