The following statement from
Thomas Neill, non-partisan candidate
for superior judge, appeared in last
weeks ColfaX Commoner.
That it accurately defines Mr.
Neill's position is well known to the
citizens of Pullman, who have init
mately known him for many years,
and their knowledge of his stand on
public questions accounts in a great
measure for the large vote he receiy-
ed in Pullman and surrounding coun-
try at the primary election.
In regard to my political views, |
am now and have been for years past,
an advocate of any and all measures
that aim to take from the political
boss and party machine, the power of
m manipulating affairs in favor of spec
ial interests, and | have favored all
measures that will restore to the peo-
pie the right to govern themselves
and secure such laws as will best con-
serve the best interests of the masses
of the people. | was and am now in
favor of the primary election law
which has in a great measure taken
away from the political boss his
power to dictate nominations; | am
in favor of the initiative and refer
rnpDn the
principle of direct legislation to the
end that the people may have the
right and the opportunity to pass
laws without the consent of party ma
chimes, and the power to veto any
law that a venal legislature may at
tempt to thrust upon them, and the
power to recall an officer, who has be
trayed the trust reposed in him. TIC
me good government means the gov.
eminent that best serves the masses
of the people and l therefore favor
all measures that tend in this direc
| ton.
If this is republicanism then / an
a republican, otherwise l am not; II
! it is democracy then | am a democrat
! otherwise / am not; if it is socialism
then / am a socialist, otherwise / an
not; if it is new nationalism then
am new nationalist, otherwise | am
not 1t is evident, however, that
this stand for good government does
not suit the "old guard" They are
against anyone who is in favor OF
the people against the interests and il
is from them that we hear so much
about my dangerous CD political
views.
| must plead guilty to the charge
that | sympathize with the unfortun,
ate or the under dog" and if this
is disqualification for the office OF
Judge, then / must be disqualified
for, while | would esteem it great
honor to be the judge of the superior
court of this county, yet the con
sciousness that I have sympathy wi Il
my fellow man in trouble is greater
| to me than would be the conscious
ness of the honor of being superior
Judge. I certainly would not sur
render the one for the other.

| RIG INCREASE IN
POSTAL RECEIPTS
10 Sans Local Establishment
shows Healthy Growth in
Postal Receipts.

That Pullman is fast gaining in
,,,o &c evidenced by the growth of
.,o nostal receipts of the local post
moo for the quarter ending Septem-
hor 20 over the receipts for the cor
rosponding quarter of a year ago.
Last year the receipts from the sale
If stamps, postal cards, etc, for the
three months of July, August and
september aggregated $2,997.54,
while the revenues for the sam
months in 1910 amounted to 49,
540S9. an increase of $543.45, or
over 20 per cent.
The postal receipts are about as
sure an Indicator of the size of a
city as can be found, and from the
above figures Pullman would have
gained at least 20 per cent in popu-
lation in the last year. 1t is almost
certain that the census figures which
will soon be made public will give
our city a good lead over her nearest
rival in the county, ColfaX. The last
census gave the county seat a very
little the best of it, but the growth in
Pullman has been much more mark
ed than at Colfax, and when the fig
ures are made known the Herald
predicts that Pullman will be the
premier city of Whitman county.

FOOTBALL GAME
Pullman High Defeated COlfaX in
Exciting Contest. =

The football season was opened in
Pullman last Saturday by a game be-
tween the local high school team and
their old rivals from ColfaX 1t was
as pretty and exciting a contest as
has ever been pulled off in this city,
and it would be hard to find two
teams more evenly matched. Early
in the second quarter Colfax had a
good chance to score on a drop kick
but the wind carried the ball out
side the goal posts. Later in the
game Pullman had similar oppor-
tunity, and Moss boosted the pig
skin squarely over the bar, scoring
three points and winning the game
for Pullman. +
Both teams carried the ball about
an equal distance in scrimmage.
ColfaX eXcelled in line plunging, but
Pullman made more gains by forward
passes and end runs. The victory
Twas due more than anything else to
the superiority of Moss over Har-
grave in catching and running back
punts. For the visitors Frank Golf
at right end played a brilliant game.
Next Saturday Pullman goes to
Garfield to play the second game for
the high school championship of the
countl The boys are much elated ov-
er their victory last Saturday and will
play for all they are worth to keep up
their good record.

Walk Found Guilty

Graf M. Walk, who, under the
alias of y. w. Howard" gathered
the evidence on which seven or eight
men and boys were found guilty of
oootlegging in this city about three
years ago, was found guilty at Bris-
tol, Tenn, of the murder of Houston
Chlldress, and was sentenced to serve
twenty years in the Tennessee peni-
tertiary.
Walk served for one year as mem
Der of the Merchants police at Spo-
Kane and it was during this period
That he was employed by the city of
Pullman to secure evidence against
several men and boys for the Illicit
sale of booze"
Walk had been at liberty for seven
years following the murder. His
victim was a fellow police officer in
bristol. Following the commission
I the crime, Walk slipped out of
the southern town before he could be
placed under arrest and disappeared
although reward of $3.50 was of
iereu for his capture, Walk boldly
a'ied himself with the detectives and
escaped suspicion. Several months
fs'ago he learned that he was being pur-
SUED and left Spokane for Occur
uAlene, in which city he was run
down.

Communication Accurately Defines the
Position of Pullman Candidate for
Superior Judge.

But duty and sympathy do not
necessarily run together. When
duty calls then sympathy must not
stand in the way of that call I be-
lieve that every man is entitled to his
rights under the law and no man
should receive more than this and
none should get less than this, and
I | may here state that if any man de-
his vote.
Yes, | sympathized with Meyer and
Haywood. l denounced the attempt
to prejudice them before they had
trial as un-American and unjust.
! insisted that they were entitled to a
fair trial, and on different occasions
were guilty of the dastardly crime
with which they were charged they
should be hanged. The jury acquit-
ted them and every American citizen
should accept the verdict, as they
would have insisted that the verdict
should be accepted had it been other
wise.
The attempt to create prejudice
| against me for thus insisting on a
fair trial, is unworthy of any fair
minded man.
| emphatically deny that I sympa-
thized with the I. w. WIS during
their trouble at Spokane, but, on the
contrary, I denounced their acts. I
am emphatically opposed to any man
or set of men whether they are cap
tains of industry, I. w WIS, officials
or what not, violating the law Of the
land or any rule of society.
/ grant to every man the right to
endeavor to have a law that does not
suit him repealed, but he must do
so by the means provided by law. and
until this is done he must submit to
1t. To do otherwise is anarchy, with
which | have neither patience nor
sympathy.
! have lived in this county for the
past % years and have never waited
to see which side of question was
popular before expressing my views
upon it, and I think that my views
on most questions are well known,
and If at any time any one ever heard
me countenance or advocate the vio-
lation of the law, or heard me express
views contrary to good government,
or against the interests of the masses
of the people, let him state the time
and place and what I said and, If he
proves his charge, then I will with
draw from the race for Judge Of
course I will not leave it to the politi-
cal ringster TO say what is good or
| bad government
Thanking you for the space taken
| by me, remain.
| Your truly,
THOMAS NELL.

is lots OF fun and. very easy, besides

very little cost one can get exactly. the
colors that one desires. .....
Suppose, for instance you wished TO
have dolls christening party in honor
of the new doh that has just been given

the new doll dressed up very beautiful

a cap trimmed with lace. The whole
