LARGE FAMILIES.

The director Of the census says:
1--WE are going to pay particular at
tention to the family statistics in or
der to get an estimate of the effects
of race suicide. l am optimistic on
that score. l don't look for any SER
ious decline in population. I think
that families are smaller because of
the higher standard of living. I
don't say that wages are not consid-
erably higher now than they were 100
years ago, but it is not so easy to get
what Peep demand now. They want
better things and more comforts and
better educational advantages for
their children; hence the tendency to
have fewer children. l don't consid-
er it grave situation, however by
any means" There is sense in that
view of the situation, Mr.. Roosevelt

The case has become more and more
involved since Colonel Swope's death,
a suit for SANDER against Attorney
Paxton, executor of the estate, being

DIAz, AT EIGHTY, KILLS JAGUARs

The spectacle of Porfirio DiaZ, who
for a third of century has been the
actual or the virtual president of Mex
leo, tramping through the mountains
and killing jaguars is at least as much
of an inspirat ton to admirers and en-
ulators of physical virility as that of
Theodore Roosevelt killing big game in
British East Africa President DiaZ is
so years old. He was the real mill
tary hero of the fight against Maxmil-
ian in 1S63-67 He upset the dummy
successor of Juarez in 1875. He has
controlled Mexico, with all the power
of a dictator since 1877.
Santa Ana, the other Grand Old
Man of Mexico's national history, lived
to be 81, and started his last rebellion
in 1867, when he was - years old. We
have had men powerful in politics after
reaching a great age, in the United
States Here the pen is mightier than
the sword. But in Mexico conditions
are different. The politician who is a
power must be able to do actual cam
paigning. Considering that fact, the
long life of Santa Ana, and the longer
activity of Porfirio Diaz may be re-
garded as rather remarkable.

order for the sentlmentalists to come
forward and pelad that such punish

TO his reform. What deteriorating eff
feet the beating of wives produces on a
sensitive manhood never strikes the
sentimentalists. Neither does the minor
item of the protection of wives.

pose upon his own beliefs in sufficient
measure to enable him to overlook the
un- called-for incident, by which more
than 5000 of the most respected peo-
pie of this thriving community were
individually handed a singing slap IN
the face by the hand that had formerly
raked muck in the Shiny hog pens of
South Omaha.
Perhaps Mr.. Kelly-we're sorry to
see such a name so disgraced-let his
own narrow ideas predominant in the
composition of an editorial that has
stirred the community as has no other
incident in years, but it might be in
ferred from the tone of the article in
question that hee was writing on a sub
ject of which he knew nothing, and
therefore laid himself open to criticism.
Like the ant that crawls up the blade
of grass, surveys the universe from
his lifty perch and descends into his
darkened abode firm in the conceit that
he knows it air. SO to does Mr.. Kelly,
egotism pass infallible dictum upon
things of which his manifest ignorance
is some startling. Perhaps he thought
the good people of Walla Walla were
mere automatons moving about and
having their being like unto the hogs
and cattle in the aforesaid South Omaha
corrals, but he has another think
coming
Were the incident not such a deplor
rable one it would be actually amusing.
Other fasteners have blown this way
and for a short time attempted the
Herculean task of reforming the
Walla Wallans; they have gone their
way, however, without accomplishing
the desired result, and the arrival of
Johnathan G. Kelly seemingly comes
as the latest move in a chapter of un-
successful attempts. Does Johanathan
imagine himself Moses" to the chill
dren of this "benighted" community?
Does he believe he can blow in on the
stencil bearing breese from congested
South Omaha and insult and defame
religious beliefs and customs with inn
punity?
If such be his opinions, 'twere better
far that he should return from whence
he came, unwept, unhonored and I'M

declares that because of the presence
of so many gentlemen convicts' in
that institution, stripes are henceforth

we would like to ask. Have they been
put there to make them good, or to
punish them for having been bad? If
the latter, was there ever a punishment
which did not hurt the feelings of the
person to whom it was administered?
The truth is that there is entirely too
tiers. Nobody is more in favor than we
are of putting the man who has done
wrong on his feet again if it be posi-
BILE to do so and of making a useful
citizen of him, but if he has s1nned he

COM INUNDATED.

Editor StateSman:

Editor Statesman:
May I impose upon you for space in
which to make a few observations rel
alive to recent occurrences in Walla
Walla?
During the many years 1 have been
a resident of this fair city 1 have OBJ
served, times without number, that it
takes the "corn-fed' easterner to come
in here and show the poor, ignorant,
sage-brush native wherein he is de-
fective. 1t takes the former editor Of
an South Omaha hog journal to drop
suddenly into a peaceful community
and proceed to "revolutionize" the ex-
listing order of things-from the SUBJ
ject of street paving and municipal
improvements, to the religion of our
residents. 1t takes a so-called ere
former from somewhere among the
stock corrals of an easten packing Gen.
ter to point out the mote in his broth
er's eye, when he should be searching
omy.
Observing these things, it was no
great surprise last Saturday to note
the free and airy manner in which one
Mr.. Kelly, who should have known bet

Catholic church. in general; it was
small surprise to learn that he had
been chosen as special representative
from on high to lead the children of the
Walla Walla valley from an "errone-
ous'' belief, to which the constitution
gives them the right.

charges against Doctor Hyde The ex-
ecutors and heirs of the Swope estate
are supplying money to air the prose
cution, while Mrs. Hyde has mort
gagged her Inheritance to fight for the
liberty of her husband.
Most of the members of the family
who will testify against Doctor Hyde
were alleged to be victims of his ty-
phoid fever germs. Evidence was ad-
duced before the coroner's inquest
that Hyde had visited the Office of the
city bateriologist and, as a reputable
physician, had no trouble in getting a
typhoid fever culture, sufficient for the

to do, where to run, where to throw
or when to hold the ball. Even some
of the crackerjacks fall down on the
intricate plays. There is no player,
howsoever great, who doesn't jackass
his teams chances eight times or more
per season. Mr.. Abstein, it appears,
did the long cared act about SO times
and hence the hook.
Sandlooters Sometimes Best.
Many fans think a college p aver. on
account of his education and the sup
posedly finer points Of his gray mat
ter, should show up the sandlot pro-
fessionals when it comes to thinking
of fast and dazzling plays. Yes, he
should-in a monkeys satchetsatchel.
Most collegians, when they hit the
big league, find that they have been
ball is concerned, and have to learn
it all again and all anew. Tenney
is a quick thinker and a baseba
general. When he broke in from
Brown he was bewildered at the tricks
that went on around him.
The man who stood 99.3 in all his
studies is the very boy who is going
to throw to first instead of the plate
when a runner could be killed at the
pan. He is also the man who is going
to fire home about two seconds after
another runner has slid across, when
the only chance left was to get the
batsman at first. He is the goat wher,
somebody is to be run down-when it
comes to lodging back and forth along
the bases he is the Chinese child and
the Patsey.
The fellow who never got beyond
fifth grade in the grammar school and
has spent his whole lifetime figuring
out DaSeDall on the TABLETS OF memory
is the man who is going to pull those
plays off at the right time.
He makes a bull now and then-the
collegian is more likely than not to
make them daily. See how the reader
of the class grafton is likely to look
like a peagreen chimpanzee when he
has scooped a grounder?
Here comes O'Brien, sliding blaZes-
bent for the plate; there goes Hoch-
biffer skidooing for first base; young
Mr. Cumlaud of Harya'e has the play
right in his hand, and what does he
do? He fires the ball to the wrong
pocket and all hands are safe
If Mike Brannigan, playing alongside
the college man, had nipped that ball
he wouldn't even have stopped to think
what the play should be. He'd have
driven that ball to the right place as
he rose from the scoop-and there's the
difference.
