Thirty thousand dollars was the
price Walla Walla paid in the hast six
months in tribute to diseases that
could have been prevented, according
to the statement made by Professor
William Worthington at the Know
Your City" institute this afternoon.
This, according to his figures, means
$4,000 a year for disease that is pre-
yentable, nearly half the cost Of the
city hall, a sum that would erect a
college building or municipal struc-
ture of which the city would be proud.

THE DEAL HAD GONE THROUGH,
AND THAT THE CORPORATION
HAD BEEN SOLD TO AN EASTERN
FIRM.
Other reliable information gained by
Colonel Parker shows that this same
company, which purchased the North
western corporation, has taken up its
option on the North Coast railroad,
for which it paid Strahorn $100, 600. Il
is also believed by those On the inside
thai the reclamation projects Of Stra-
horn at North Yakima and Pasco have
been taken over, and that the new COM
pany intends to develop these fully.
That the entire holdings of the
Northwestern Corporation and the
Strahorn possession have been pur-
chased, is taken to mean but one thing
that another powerful rival of the pres
ent railroad system is coming into the
field, and that electric power will be
used to a greater extent than has ever
before been known on a railroad, to op-
crate It's cars.

Preaching Versus Editing.

Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is a good deal like preaching
the gospel: truth must be presented
In the form of generalities or some
fellow will get hit and howl. Few
persons like truth, even in home
opathic doses If it hits them. But
while the preachers and editors are
criticised for what they do say. no
one thinks of giving them credit for
what they do not say. Yet what
they keep to themselves constitutes
the major portion Of what they know
about people.
Very many people harbor the be-
lief that newspapers are eager to
publish derogatory things. It's a
mistake. There isn't a newspaper
that could not spring a sensation in
the community at any time by mere
ly telling what it knows. There is
not a newspaper that does not keep
under the lock of secrecy scores of
derogatory things which never meet
the public eye or reach the public
ear Deciding what not to print is
the most troublesome part of news
paper work.
How many good stories are sup
pressed for the sake of innocent rela-
tives and for the public's good no.
body outside a newspaper office has
any idea of.
In some instances he who flies in
to passion because a newspaper
prints something about him which
he considers uncomplimentary has
every reason to feel profoundly
grateful to the newspaper for pub
fishing so little of what II knows
about him. And ofttimes the loud
est buffer Is the nose vulnerable to
attack. A big noise is often a device
employed to cover trepidation.
Newspapers put up with more
bluffing than any other agency
would endure 1t Is not because
they lack courage; 1t is because they
are unwilling to use their power to
destroy or ruin unless the interest of
society imperatively demands 1t.
1t might be well for some people
70 reflect upon these truths and In
silent gratitude accept mild admoni-
Ion lest worse befall them.-Ex.
