d1t highways. Senator Hall is re-
cognized as the most loyal and in
fluential friend OF the college in the
present legislature. lie has proved
his friendship in many ways in many
previous sessions. Senator Mccoy
has also been friendly to the insti-
tuition, but in the present session is
more interested in securing all the
money possible for the state highway
running through his home town OF
Oakesdale than he is in fighting the
battles Of the college. The attitude
OF the two senators toward the col
lege is we'll illustrated by an Incl
dent which occurred in the senate
last Monday. \ bill prepared by the
University Of Washington providing
for a matriculation fee and tuition
fees of ten dollars for each semes-
ter was under discussion. Senator
Mccoy was presiding and Senator
Hall was called into the lobby. Dur
ing his absence Senator Sharpstein
of Walla Walla offered an amend
ment providing that the same fees
proposed for the University be i'm
posed at the State College. The
amendment was adopted Later,
when Senator Hall returned, re-
consideration of the amendment was
secured. He made a vigorous argu-
ment against it's adoption and by raj
lying his friends, defeated it, but
Senator Mccoy took no part in the
debate. In view of these facts would
not the Pullman friends of the col
lege have a right to think that Rep
resentative Watt had betrayed their
confidence if he deserted Senator
Hall in order to ally himself with
Senator Mccoy?
What action of Mr. Watt on the
road question deserves "severest CEN
sure? Was it his vote to split the
funds equally between the east and
west routes with the provision tina!
all the money on the east route
should be spent in construction south
and north of Pullman. That would
have meant the expenditure of some
$4,000 on the highway between
Pullman and the Idaho line and
Pullman and Palouse. Would not
that plan have been more advan-
tageous to this city than the distribu-
ton provided for in the final COM
promise offered by Mccoy, that, OF
the money appropriated for the east
route, not to exceed 100000 be spent
on the highway between Pullman
and the Idaho state line and the rest
from Rosalia south?
No man becomes a traitor without
some strong motive. What motive
can be attributed to Representative
Watt. His home is in Pullman, his
business interests are here, his
friends are here. Everything would
impell him to advance the interests
of this city as far as possible without
being false to his constituents in
other parts of the district.
The road dispute has been settled.
Both the east and west branches OF
the Inland Empire highway are as
sured and will gradually be com
pleted. Individuals may differ as to
the part Representative Watt has
played, but all should be willing to

THE COACH SITUATION
by l.. c. l..

John h. Bender's athletic rela-
tions with the State College of Wash
ington will be closed at the end of
this year, according to action of the
board of regents last week. Thus
closes three years OF petty pickering
over the coachship, concerning which
Newton Colver of the Spokesman
Review says:
The much-mooted controversy at
Washington State College is over,
and Johnny Bender. coach and
graduate manager. is out of a job.
A lot can be written about this thing,
and a lot can be, kindly, left out.
Bender may have his faults he
did not please all the good folks who
had to do with the team, either as
players, student supporters or town
folk patrons, and he especially
seemed to have aroused the ire of
some alumni. Johnny was nothing
if not self-willed.
Now, as one who has watched the
college athletic games in the North
west 10 years as newspaper man,
may | just drop this little hint:
"A lot of good fellows have tack
led that coaching job at Pullman.
Remember the troubles of Sweeley,
Osthoff, Kienholz, Nissen, etc? Have
any ever left it with pleasant feel
ing all around?
Putting it plainly, those who
have to do with the hiring of the
coach there and who, through their
influence with faculty, students, re-
gents or toWnspeople, have a lot to
do with making his success or fail
ure possible, are just about as much
open to criticism, if l am any Judge,
as the coaches. Coaches have sim
ply not been allowed to make a sue
cess. About a dozen people are can
didates for the new job. Their nerve
is to be commended. The next man
who takes hold there will need m ore,
even, than nerve, and he'll need tons
of that. The good college folks
down there would better wake up to
their own responsibility in this
thing"

LET US REASON TOGETHER

In the heat of political campaigns
and the stress of legislative sessions,
men are very apt to do and say
things which they would never do or
say under ordinary circumstances
and to accept as gospel truth rumOTs
and reports to which in their calmer
moments they would refuse credence
unless substantiated by undisputed
and unbiased evidence. For several
weeks many of the residents of this
city have been considerably worked
up over the division OF the Inland
Empire highway fund in this county
and few days ago some SO of the
business men, acting on reports
which they had received from
4 olympia, sent a communication to
representative Watt in which they
asserted that Pullman people felt
lnat he had turned traitor, and that
ne would not be welcomed home un-
less ne got right on the road ques-
uon and severed his alliance with
Senator Hall.
Inc charge of being a traitor is
very serious one to bring against

1t seems that this criticism is very
apt. Bender came here three years
ago hailed as a saviour that would
magically build up team that would
win a Conference championship. He
found a few old men and a bunch of
raw material that was indeed dubi-
Gus. He sent against Idaho a team
that would be whipped to a fragile
by last years scrubs. But it was the
best the school afforded. Idaho had
team of II veterans. Small won
der he lost. Yet right there began
the grabbing that characterized every
minute from that time until now.
Bender has always had divided sup
port. Bender loves his work, puts in
every minute of his time at it, was
admittedly one Of the really great
players the West ever put out and
one of the great field generals of his
time. He has an enviable record as
a coach, yet he comes back to his
first love and doesn't give satisfaC-
ton. Might we suggest that per-
haps the fault lay somewhere else
than with Bender?
Bender has made lot of enemies
in a lot of ways. He made some on
the football field, but the same peO-
pie will put Dobie, the meanest talk
er in the West, on pedestal as
model coach. He combined the Of
fices of graduate manager and
coach and pulled the A. S. S. c. w.
out of financial difficulties, and in
so doing he didn't spend money
hand over fist in the manner that
wins favor with some people. This
made him some more enemies. He
began to buy sporting goods direct,
and made still other enemies.
1t now occurs to us that when the
new man is selected, whoever he is,
we bury few of our petty griev-
ances, each of us keep his finger
out of the pie and his tongue duly
controlled, and give the coach at
least an even break.
No coach can succeed when he has
divided support, and outside in
fluences working to turn his players
against him. The Evergreen.

It was our privilege as we'll as our pleasure, with 1, ,500 or 2,000 other people, at the kempner Theatre, Little Rock, last Thurs day evening, to listen to Hon. William Jennings Bryan, in his famous peace lecture. Mir. Bry- an has scarcely an equal as a platform speaker, to say nothing of him as a platform maker. He is pleasing in address, convinc- ing in argument and interesting and entertaining to the limit. While we cannot all agree with Mir. Bryan, in every phase of his views, on governmental work ings, nevertheless we are all ready and willing to accord him sincerity of heart and honesty of purpose. MT. Bryan's advocacy of universal peace, instead of universal war, as Is now nearly the rule, strongly appeals to the Humanitarian, and if all the na- tions of the globe could be induc- ed to adopt these principles the real millennium on earth would have commenced; but until such powers can be drawn under its benign influence, it may be safer for this country to ''keep its powder dry" and a keen look out at the passing show.
 "Peace on earth and good will to men" is Mir. Bryan's slogan, and that such a doctrine is glo- rious and elevating no sane mind can controvert or gainsay. But for the United States to adopt this principle and adhere to 1t exclusively, and turn all of it's battle-ships into good roads, met aphorically speaking, and its "swords into pruning hookso while the other great powers are bristling with big guns, and oth- CT elements of destruction, is too ennobling to be entirely safe.

DEATH OF ARTHUR MURRAY.

Arthur Murray, editor and owner of the Pine Bluff Press Eagle, died in Pine Bluff, on Wednesday of last week; and thus has passed away a unique character in Arkansas Journal ism. Bold, aggressive and un- relenting in his fight against graft and incompetency he had scarcely an equal in the state.
 Murray was 57 years of age, and of Irish parentage. He was large, both mentally and physi- cally. He lived a batchelor all Of his life. His accumulations of this worlds goods are said to amount to $5O,O0o. He is sur. vived bt a sister and two nieces. who will probably inherit his fortune.
 Arthur Murray began his newspaper career in the office of the old Pine Bluff Press, edited and owned by Col. Wyatt O., Thomas, and the printing de- partment being under the man agement of the present editor oi the Monticellonian.

OBITUARY.

Mr. Pierce Graves died at his home near Florence, Sept. 10th, 1915. He leaves wife, three daughters one son, and other relatives and host of friends to mourn his death.
 Mir. Graves had been i'll only a short while, when the dreaded disease Congestion" took a firm hold on him and all that loving hands and a kind physician could do was done but could not stay the icy hand of death.
 He was 59 years, 9 months, ? days of age. He had been a member of the Methodist Church from early life on up until his death. All that knew him, low ed him. He was kind and af- fectionate to every one. Do not grieve dear relatives, for we are sure he's at rest, for he said only few minutes be- fore he died. "Heaven! Heaven! !!
 how much longer?" Let us take comfort in the thought that some where beyond the Great
 Divide he is waiting for us with the same tender, wonderful smile, the same joyous word of greeting. He was w. O. w. His remains were laid to rest beneath the sacred sod of Mt.
 Tabor. The newly made grave was decorated with beautiful floral offerings. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Rev. Oliver.
 "We loved him, yes we loved him,
 But angels loved him more,
 And they have sweetly called him
 To wonder shining shore.
 The Golden Gates were opened, A gentle voice said come, And with farewells unspoken He gently entered home." His friend, Ida Evans Youngblood.

A Further Bit of History Connect
 ed with Lem Garman.

While in Little Rock last week we met MT. Melville Losnzo Don Pedro Lopez De Santa Aua Wells, who is owner of the pistol which Lem Garmon shot Capt. Barker, of Freedman's Bureau fame, and broke one of his arms, at Hamburg, during the recon struction days. This pistol is of the old army, cap and ball type, and carries an eight inch barrel, and is what is usually termed a Navy Six, but is, in fact larger pistol than the navy pStol. It is of the large navy size; and ac- cording to all accounts, the one MT. Wells now owns, has to its credit as many men killed and wounded, while in the hands of Garmon, during the late civil war, as any other weapon of sim liar character that was in use in those perilous days.
 Mir. Wells, whose full appella- tion we give at the opening of this article, meeting us on the streets of Little Rock, (having read an article in the Monticel- lonian some weeks back, con- corning the shooting by Lem Garmon of Barker at Hamburg, in lS6S), informed us that he owned the pistol with which the shooting was done, and that he would bring it down town the next morning and show it to us, which he did. Mir. Wells gave us the following account of Gar mon, and how he became owner of the famous pistol:
 "Lem Garmon was taken with pneumonia and died in the Hill Pennington Hotel, at Warren, Bradley county, Arkansas, and Rad Collins, myself and one or

The average citizen does not fully comprehend the responsi- ble duties incumbent upon him as a voter. He too often IS gov. erned in his choice of men by some unimportant circumstance or some hobby or pet theory, usually worthless if not, indeed, dangerous. He does not weigh the men for whom he votes and see that they are men of princi- pie. character aud integrity. A good man, 1t is well to bear m mind, will do no harm to his country, while the wantonly. reckless and unprineipled are ab- solutely dangerous.
