COMMISSION FORM
IS CONSTITUTIONAL

Olympia, july l. Especial to
the Herald THE supreme court
today held constitutional the law
aut horizing cities of $500 to 20
900 to adopt the commission form
of government Tie decision of
the Walla Walla superior circuit
court quashing the demurrer of
Mayor Tausick and directing him
to call a special election to submit
the question of the commission
form of government to the voters
was upheld. 1t was on the ques
ton alone of the constitutio"alty
Of the law that the mayor Of
Walla Walla appealed, and as the
law had been upheld, Gilbert Hunt
and the others who are demanding
that the election be held, win their
point.
The decision was written by
Judge Crow and signed by Judges
Dunbar, Parker, Ellis, Mount, Full
lerton and Morris. 1t is held that
the law merely creates a new clas
sificatOn OF cities, and that it does
not change the municipal func
tons, but merely affects the instru-
mentalities through which such
functions are to be exercised.
The law is held to be general,
although cities have the option of
adopting it, as it applies to no one
special town or any district. but to
all alike, which come within the
certain range of population.
The effect of the decision is to
allow any city with a population
between $500 and 20, 900 to adopt
the commission form Of govern
ment if the voters so desire.
Rev. CD T. II. H. Gardner, the
wife murderer was called before
Judge Kaufman Monday and Ell
tered a plea Of rot guilty. Ii
is understood that he will plead IN
sanity when his case is called in
September.

sunshine and other good things are always equal to the demand. l do not know who Miss Brown was, unless she was the sister of Anna Robertson Brown, who said. Every moment of worry weakens the soul for its daily combat These Brown girls were all right, for they left bits of living truth behind them.
 Some people have discovered that all the way to heaven is heaven, and the road is delightful; but there are many who picture the way as being too steep for an automobile and are rather inclined to blame the Lord be- cause he does not supply them wings before wings are due. They push heaven out of themselves because they decline to realize the truth of the affirmation of the Saw four, Heaven is within you;" and they insist upon looking for it some- where else. Looking for a thing whers it is not is not a sign of conversion. 1t seems to me; but 0 pure misconcep- .tion of the truth, which is a false mo- tion, a waste of time. It is fair to presume that He who spake as no other man spake knew where heaven was and inability to locate it by His chart is evidence of poor navigator, to say the least. 'HThe peace of mind which surpasseth all understanding is not the piece of mind to which at tention is commonest called irl life.

AN IDLER.

and satisfy his needs. The choice is constantly presenting itself to us in one way or the other. It did td Q young woman of my acquaintance the other day who had to choose be- tween a new hat she wanted badly, ard perhal needed, and a S5 ticket to a lecture course by ono of the most celebrated and helpful ethical teachers in America Her deeper nature GOV to wear her old hat another winter. Thereby she won a real moral victory.
 For when we come down to the es- sentials of life the range of our needs is comparatively limited while the range of our wants is iimitless. and to satisfy them we go on restlessly and feverishly unto greater and great CT expenditures of time, interest and money. But if we will once elevate our needs high above our wants we shall find life assuming an altogether and far more joyous and satisfying aspect to us.
 Even the lists of needs stated above can be somewhat abridged. The av- craze man has only three great out standing needs. One is something to do, the second is someone to love, and the third is someone to worship Work friends, God-these are the final and indestructa b1e needs of hu- man life. You must find something to do that will be reasonably congenial and productive; you must have It least few friends whom you can trust and serve, and who, in turn, will help you, and you must have a God upon whose immeasurable strength and unfailing love you can securely lean.

TROLLEY CARS AND TUsERcU
 LOSIS,

The cry for a lower temperature and better ventilation of trolley cars is surely a shout for better travelling con- ditions.
 l. When New York was shouting for warmer cars and appealed to Mayor Gaynor to aid them, he refused to pay any attention to the "hot air cranks, on the ground that lower temperature and circulation of air in electric cars are conducive to health.
 The Meriden Journal says: This sensible rule would have good effect here and it might be wise for the local anti tuberculosis association to take up the matter of ventilation of cars.'
 No one would think of opposing the anti-tuberculosis association in any wise move it might be prompted to make in the interests of the people; but why not have all the people ac- Quire the anti-tuberculosis habit-tlle habit of deep breathing every day The tuberculosis germs can find no place of Judgement in fully expanded lungs. It is shallow breathing-the weak and folded lung which collects mucus constantly there, which invites the lodgment of tuberculosis germs and promotes their multiplication. Deep breathing and plenty of fresh air are now recognized as the most potent factors in restoring health to consump- tives.

okLAHOMA'S RIDICULOUS
 PLIGHT,

The democratic state government has by 8 recent law passed by the 1egisla- ture not only &rraigned that state against the United States government, but put tax upon every taxpayer to free the men indicted by the govern i1ent from the consequences of their -Srong-doins. The democratic legisla- ture has passed a resolution pledging the taxpayers of Oklahoma to appro- priate money to defend persons charg- ed with crimes against the constitu- ton and laws of the United States. The resolution pledges the legislature to appropriate whatever sums are nec- essary to pay special attorneys to de- lend the man who have been indicted in the federal courts of Oklahoma charged with depriving American cit izens of their legal right to vote By its action the state, whose duty it is to prosecute crime. has placed itself in the role of defending men arraigned for violating the laws of the United States.
 Every taxpayer of Oklahoma, even the negro who owns property and was denied his right of suffrage, must con- tribute to a fund to defend the men who are charged with these rank vio- lations of the law regulating the suf- frage.
 If the tax was simply upon the den- ocratic party 1t would not be so bad: but the resolution taxes republicans, socialists and democrats alike, to set at defiance the laws of the country and to defend the vioiators of it's own laws and constitution. Politically speaking. ths is going some.

CELEBRATED SAYINGS or. LIN-
 COLIN.

 The best sayings of Abraham Lin- coin are good enough to be posted in public places all of the time. instead of being recalled from time to time Following are a few worth committing to memory:
 This country with it's institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it. For thirty years I have been a tenn perance man and am too old to change No man is good enough to govern another man without the others con- sent
 Gold is good in it's place; but living, brave and patriotic men are better than gold
 Nowhere in the world is presented . government of so much liberty and equality.
 If I live, this accursed system of robbery and shame in our treatment of the Indians shall be reformed.
 The reasonable man has long since agreed that intemperance is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all evils among mankind.
 know that the Lord is always on the side of the right: but 1t is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lords side.
 There is no grievance that is fit object of redress by mob law.
 I authorize no bargains for the pres- idency, and will be bound by none I am prohtably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this book upon reason that you can, and the balance on faith. and you will live and die a better man.
 All that am, all that hope to be- I owe to my angel mother.

Escaping from Prison.

To punish convicts who attempt to escape from prison with loss of com muted time by good behavior, or with an extension of their original sen tence presumably 4ightens the labors and anxieties of wardens and guards by preventing some prisoners from utilizing some opportunities for eva sion. On this ground the infiiction of the penalty in question can perhaps be justified.
 Just the same. one does not have to be obsessed with maudlin sympathy for criminals to feel that thus heavily to punish a perfectly natural act--an act to be expected Of any human be- ing with a decent appreciation of lib- erty as the dearest of possessions has in it the elements of the cruel, the unreasonable and the wrong. Of course, when prisoners, nearing the end of their terms make the usually-but not always-futile rush for freedom they are guilty of obvious folly. It is, how- ever a folly that commands a certain admiration. Jailbirds are not put on their honor, as the saying is, so why shouldn't they run if they get a chance IN Y. Times.

aEi,,oIous opPoslTloN TO LIN

IL supsers to be . most fitting time on the celebration of the 1o2d anni- vsrsary of the birth of Lincoln, which is to be SO generally observed in the churches Surrday, to call attention to the fact that in Lincoln's home town of Springfield, ILL, of the 2f olergymen there only three rallied to his sup port, because they regarded him as an ungodly man when he stood for the emancipation of the slaves, and Doug laa whose cause they sspoused, was for the support of slavery and not vQy vehement against it's extension into tho territories. Nothing grieved Lincoln. who was not church mem be-, though an honest and deyout man, rnorU than this in his campaign. or was moro puxziing to him He called in his old friend, Bateman. and fol- lowing preliminary conversation walked the floor with tears stream ing down his cheeks. and this is what he said to him:
 \ know that there is a God and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming and know His hand is in It. If He has a place for me and I think he hasI believe I am ready I am nothing, but Truth is everything. I know that I am right because know that liberty is right for Christ teaches it--and Christ is God. I have told them that house divided against itself cannot stand. and Christ and reason say the same; and they will find it so. Douglas doesn't care whether slavery is voted up or voted down, but God cares, and humanity cares, and I care; and with Gods help shall not fail I may not see the end; but it will come and shall be vindicated; and these men will find that they have not read their Bibles aright"
 And a little later he added: Doesn't 1t appear strange that men can ignore the moral aspects of this contest? A revelation could not make it palmer to me that slavery or the government must be destroyed The future would be something awful as look upon it, but for this rock on which I stand talluding to the Testament which he had taken from his bosom and still held in his hand), especially with the knowledge of how these ministers are going to vote. It seems as if God had bosne with this thing (slavery) until the very teachers of religion have come to defend it from the Bible, and to claim for it a divine character and sauction; and now the cup of iniquity is full, and the vials of wrath will be poured out"
 In this, as in some other things, Lincoln proved to be right and to have the foresight of a prophet What he so tearfully proclaimed in privacy to his friend has been so completely worked out that their mistake looks like a dark shadow beside the lustre of the truths he uttered, and his achievements which are a complete vfndication of his position and con- nrmation of their mistake.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
NEEDS VERSUS WANTS.

We rise in the moral scale when We learn to run a sharp line of cleavage between our wants and our needs.
 My wants--they are multitudinous and constantly increasing. I want a bigger salary, an easier job, a longer vacation. a trip to Europe about once in so often, plenty of good things to eat and an ample and well-st5clsed wardrobe, a home which the reporters would call @one of the finest resi- dences ln the city," horses and car riages, and an auto,too social recog- milton and popularity with the crowd. Bless me! how many things I do want when I stop to think of them. If I g,ve rein to my fancy 1 am at once impressed with realization of the few things which possess and of the many which want and ought to have, just as much as MT. Money-bags or Mrs. Newly-rich.
 But my needs-tEat starts another lire of thought. And if l am honest with myself have to confess that my absolute needs are not so very many, and perhaps not so una attainable. I need daily bread, a roof over my head, respectable clothing, 9, good appetite and digestion, a job by means of which I can support myself and those de- pendent upon me, hearthstone Of my own, a good conscience, by which Qo I1OL UlCdV ICCcoSriI1f ny all easy conscience, someone who cares for me and someone to care for, a fair amount of hope concerning tomorrow and all the days that are to be.
 When we once begin to classify them on different sides of the ledger we see how wide difference there is between needs and wants. The latter arise largely from the fact that we are sen- tient human beings with eyes and ears, with a palate easily tickled, with hands capable of grasping and holding earthly good. The former are due to the fact that we are something more than body and head, arms and legs. that we are immortal spirits with ca pacitics and longiflgs that cannot be satisfied with the choicest viands, the most delicate fabrics. the most styl- isf and up-to-date equipages.
 So it ali comes down to this: Will man give free rein to his wants, even to the extent of allowing them to run away with him, or wilI he re- strain and discipline them, perhaps even cruelty some of them so that he may be better able to cultivate
