Chief Davis said:
THE police and myself have put up
with this thing about long enough and
1 have issued instructions to the men
to have no respect for persons in their
arrests. They are to bring every per-
son they catch exceeding the speed
limit here. There will be no bond for
the offenders. not much! I don't care
who they are. they will get chance
to talk to Police Court Judge Thomas
Mckinney. This thing of speeding on
the streets Of Walla Walla has got
to stop and that is all there is to
it." With the last word he brought
his fist resoundingly down on the
table
The chief says he has warned those
who own automobiles often enough to
observe the speed ordinance, but that
it seems as though they have no re-
gard for it, or they believe the police
will turn their backs when a machine

That is how matters stand regarding
the all important rules committee. The
speaker has been deposed as chair
man, but his chief aide camp, John
Dalzell, representative from Pennsyl-

Mr.. Cannon to reflect that the remain

are to be brought out>about the opera

the enemies of that legislation will be

out of fashion ever since-but more
rapidly most recently. Dalzell would
perish on the job before he would make

TAFT REGIME WILL
ANSWER ITS ENEMIES

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Taft
administration is about to defend itself
aggressively before the people Of the
United States.
Convinced that the public mind has
been impressed by attacks upon the
administration in many parts of the
country. and that criticisms cannot be
permitted to pass unanswered without
injury to republican prestige, the party
leaders have decided to carry the war
into the enemy's country"
President Taft is now declared to be
ready and anxious to assume the often
sive. The opening guns will be fired
next Saturday in Washington by the
president in person. and in Chicago by
Attorney General Wickersham.

Daniel McGovern, 46 years old, pro

Northern Pacific trestle between Hol-

elected to the fiftieth congress, and he
hasn't held anything else since.
He and Joseph Cannon have been
close friends for a number of years and
their political views are very much
alike. Dalzell has had some close shaves
at reelection, but he always manages
to get the votes. Time was when the
steel men were accused Of making a
special district for him, for the uncul-
tured persons who owned the priceless
right of suffrage in Mr.. DalZelPs neigh
borhood were planning to exercise 1t
almost unanimously against him-but

that is no ones business but DalzelPs,
and he has never, betrayed any desire
to discuss it.

so fierce it burns everything.
1t is allowed to get low, going to the

May "Fire" MacVeaeh
Some of the party leaders are urging
upon the president the advisabilIty of
appointing to the treasury some man
who has been affiliated with the party.
There is no dissatisfaction with the
administration of Secretary Mac
Veagh, but some politicians argue that
the president should not hesitate to
use every leverage to advance the adj
ministration politically. If two or
more changes should be made in the
cabinet, it is said, with some show of
authority. that one of the places would
go to William j. Loeb, Jr.. former Sec
rotary to Mr. Roosevelt, and now COL
lector of customs in New York
No one in the confidence of Presi-
dent Taft, it is said would be sur
prised if the vacancy on the supreme
court bench, caused by the death of
the late Justice Brewer, should be Of
fered to Governor Hughes of New
York. That the president would offer
the place to the New York executive
was stated last night at a gathering of
republicans, several of whom are close
| to the president. It was stated that
Governor Hughes has not been sound
ed on the subject, but the general opin-
| ion seemed to be that he would not &C

Following the precedent OF the old
committee on rules, the new organiza-
ton is making a practice of swallowing
bodily and for all time, resolutions
idisapproved of by campaign fund con-
tributing corporations. Should the COM

Not a word has been heard of this

Indications multiply that President
Taft and the reactionary supporters of
the administration in house and senate
regard conflict with former President
Roosevelt and his supporters inevita-
BILE, and are therefore preparing for -.
The Ballinger statement presented to
the investigating committee, ridiculing
the Roosevelt conservation policy and
abusing the chief upholders of that poll
icy, is open expression of hostility to
the Roosevelt spirit For some time,
however, it has been plain that the
president was being led or forced into
a position where the possibility of re-
Cancellation between himself and his
predecessor was rapidly disappearing
There is no doubt that early in his ad-
ministration President Taft hoped for
an endorsement by Roosevelt, but it is
extremely doubtful if he is now Opt
!nistic on that score.

ground here in Washington that the
people will reap no benefit during the
life of the present session because Oh
the enlargement of the committee on
rules from five to ten minutes. and the
elimination of the speaker from the
committee.
There is only one way to keep the
rules committee from being dominated
by Cannonism, and that is to transfer
the majority to the democratic side of
the house. This is why: There are IS
republicans in the house Of these only
nine voted in Savor of the Burleson
resolution to unseat the speaker, the
vote on which, by the way, was of the
greatest value to the country because
it forced a clear-cut line between
those republicans who secretly stand
with Cannon and those who are indie
pendent of him and the greedy inter
ests he represents.
The six republican members of the
new IuIeS cOIillllltlee were SoloCC6Q III

nine genuine" insurgents were out
numbered twenty-four to one Or, in
other words, twentythree- twentyfourths
of the present republican membership

Before Cannonism can be downed, this
all-potent twentythree- twentyfourths
of the Republican membership of the
house must be downed. For therein
lies Uncle Joe's, real power and no one
can successfully contradict it.
The difference in the cost of living IN

opponent was unable to satisfy the
people that the Aldrich- Taft policy OF
excessive protection was not to blame
for the contrast. Senator Lodge was
called into the campaign, but he, too,
failed utterly in his attempt to dis
prove the argument of Foss. The DEM
ocratic candidate showed that the con-
trast in the cost of living in Detroit
and Windsor was not an exception, but
the general rule between protective
and free trade countries. He cited COM
parative prices in Montreal, st. John,
New Brunswick, and Boston, easily
disproving the allegation that the ever;
increasing prices in the United States
are merely in keeping with a world
wide upward movement.
