An Unnamed Comet Adorns the

In the chaste language of
certain would-be purists in the
matter of speech, Have you saw
the comet? Quite a nice comet it
is, with tail sticking straight up,
andit may be seen in the south
western skies just after sunset
and until something after 7
o'clockp.m. At least it has been
visible for the past few evenings,
but the schedule upon which this
visitor is running has not been
left at this office and it is not
known when it will disappear.
The exhibition is free, though,
while it lasts, and it looks like a
nice, well-behaved comet that
does not mean any harm.
No, it is not Halley's. Halley's
comet is doing its possible to get
here on time, racing this way at
the rate of 'steen million miles
or SO every day. This unnamed
visitor seems to just be giving a
show on it's own account, and

its discovery was first cable q

SEE WHO THEY ARE!

There ought to be an investigation OF
the sugar trust frauds. .t
Because this thieving monopoly con-
tributes literally of its stolen funds
tn the republican campaign fund year
after year is neither a good nor suffi-
cient reason why the government
should permit a band of multi million
aire tariff pirates to deliberately steai
more than s2,OO0,00O, and then be con-
tent with sending few $1S-a-week
dock weishers and checkers to the
penitentiary.
Fear is expressed that an investiga-
ton by congress might give ''immuni-
ty'' to the men higher up" But a
more logical fear is that such an in
vestigation would give identity to the
men higher up" Let us first have the
identity Of the real culprits. Then I'M

Miss Anna Louise Strong, the young
lady who recently came to Walla Wal
la to conduct the Know Your City

ment, and the program for the two
weeks congress will probably be COM
pleted and ready for announcement. the
latter part OF next week. The pio-
gram is to contain many special fea-
lures, aiming to cover most OF the
life of Walla Walla. In speaking CT
her work this afternoon, Miss Strong
said:
Most people do not realize how very
complex the life of city is. Among
the general topics to be taken up are,
City Government City Plans, Public
Utilities, embracing water, gas and
electricity; Industrial and Commercial
Lime, embracing labor unions, factor
les and environments; Courts and
Jails, embracing the police, the higher
courts and the penitentiary.
One day will be devoted to Child
Life, including the laws affecting chill
dren and the employment of the chill
dren. Educational Work of the Lii
braries is another topic to be consid-
cred; Charities. embracing housing
conditions, immigration and charitable
societies, will be touched upon"
Librarian Ellen Garfield Smith has
consented to speak upon the subject.

ANTITRUST DECISIONS.

Now and then the news dispatches
tell us of some court handing down a
decision that is "a severe blow" to such
and such a trust. Many, many times
have such adverse" decisions been
rendered against the Standard Oil. the
sugar trust and others of the most no
torious of the great price-fixing corpor-
atoms.
On what portion of their anatomies
do the trusts receive these blows"
They seem hardly to notice their pun
ishment. Standard Oil, for instance, has
been pummeled, and beaten, and also
dragged around on the floor of nearly
every court in the United States. Yet it
is still with us, and apparently as
healthy and strong as ever Same can
be said of the sugar trust. And the
beef trust Not in our time has there
been an trust decision with a real
knockout punch.
An interesting paragraph along this
line Of thought is contained in the
monthly market letter of the New York
stock brokerage firm of Warren W. Ed
win & Co. as follows I'm this connec-
ton it may be said that investors
should not take these antitrust deci-
sions too seriously. About a dozen anti
trust decisions have been rendered I'M
der the Sherman act. In no instance
has the outlawed corporation let go of
its monopoly or ceased 10 do business.
In no instance have prices been reduced
or have consumers apparently gained
by these decisions. The prices of kero-
sene oil. beef. tobacco, and sugar have
averaged higher since"

POWER OF A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name Of the
"Life Saving Belt"

LIE oaNtU3 6ot@
A vivid illustration OF the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once brought 10 the attention Of French
people by Francisque Surccy.
After the wreck OF the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preserycrs on. These
life preservers were fastened upon the
bodies. but round the middle instead
of under the arms. and the greater
weight of the upper part Of the body
had tipped the head under water and
the person of course was inevitably
drowned.
Now II. appears that the greater num-
Der OF the persons SO drowned were
French. The French term for life pre-
server Is ceinture de sauvetage. or life
gests to the mind In its moments of
disorder and unreadincss. such as a
great catastrophe brings. the idea OF
putting on a belt and as belt Is put
round the waist and nowhere else the
frightened person instlnctively adjusts

The result is that as soon rs the
person so provided falls into the water
his body tips over. with the heavier
part downward. and the head Is plung-
ed beneath the surface.
The word belt" therefore. was the
cause OF the loss OF many lives In the
Bourgognc disaster. Sarcey according
ly proposed to counteract the fatal ef-
feet Of the French word by remaining
the article and calling 1t brassiere,
which Is a kind Of waist. and by bring

teach people to put life preservcr on
