Our Island Possessions

We believe that our island pos

they should be made into territories,

be admitted as states in our Union.

Kinley, we believe that wherever
our flag is hoisted there it must

AS BO0TLEGG|NG CURE
Thomas Neill, Candidate for Superior
Judge, Takes Stand on Import .
ant Issue-Makes Public
Statement

That Jail sentences are the only
sure cure for bootlegging is the con-
tention of Thomas Neill of this city,
candidate for superior court Judge,
who this week issued a public state
ment to the voters of the county.
Judge Neill asserts that he is OPP
posed to the practice of collecting a
license by way of fines for the illegal
traffic in booze and believes that a
Jail sentence is the only way to make
the bootlegger respect the law"
The full statement issued by
Judge Neill is as follows:
To the Voters of Whitman County:
Having learned of untruthful
statements being made against me as
candidate for Judge of the Su-
perior Court, l deem it necessary in
justice to myself and to my friends
to make this public statement.
am not a member of the Nom
partisan League.
The endorsement rendered me by
the Triple Alliance, if l would file
for Judge of the Supreme Court, was
without my knowledge or consent.
l am not a Socialist. 1t is true
that l at one time believed that
socialism, as l then understood it,,
in, Wi hn i1o ~
Christianity, but when the Socialist
party, in its platform and through
the declarations of it's leaders, gave
expression to un-American doctrines,
and showed that as a political party
it was out of sympathy with Ameri-
can institutions, as a self respecting
citizen, l could not and do not give
it countenance in any form or man
ner
I yield to no man in the state of
Washington in loyalty to my coun-
try, in defense of it's constitution
and laws, and in respect for the
flag and all that it represents.
l challenge any man to name one
single instance where by word, act
or deed, l was other than as nearly
100 per cent American as it is pos
sible for any man to be. Any state
ment or insinuation to the contrary
l brand as a campaign lie.
l take this opportunity of saying
that I have no sympathy with boot
Logging, and I am opposed to the
practice of collecting a license by
way of fines, for the illegal traffic
in booze. l believe that a jail SEN
tence is the only way to make the
bootlegger respect the law.
If elected Judge of the Superior
Court I will do my part in suppress
ing bootlegging in this county.
Respectfully,

FOUNDER Of MILITARY
ACADEMY A VISITOR
Major W. >. Walker, Who Founded
Pullman Military Academy i'm
1891, Visits City After Alb
sence of "a Years

/ Pullman this week enjoyed a visit
from Major w. S. Walker, familiar
figure in Pullman's early history,
who founded the Pullman Military
Academy in 1891. Major Walker
had not visited the city since his de-
parture from the community in 1898,
following the destruction of the
academy buildings by fire, and
found but few oldtimers with whom
he was acquainted during his two
years of early-day residence here
He expressed surprise and pleasure
at the remarkable development of
the community during the past qua
rer OF a century, the city having
claimed population of but 400 or
| 500 at the time he ventured upon his
enterprise, while improved streets
were not thought of, and the State
College was but a struggling infant
as compared with the wonderful in
stitution of today.
The Pullman Military Academy
was founded by Major Walker in
1891 and three buildings were con-
structed on the hill in the north
western part of town, the hill having
derived its name, Military" from
the academy. The main building
was 40xl10 feet, of two stories, and
the dormitory and boarding house
were each 20x100 feet. The faculty
numbered four instructors, and the
curriculum included all high school
subjects, with many advanced sub
jects offered and with military sci
ence requisite and one of the feat
ures of the institution.
The academy enjoyed a successful
the structures were destroyed by
fire and the ia students were left
without a home Many of them
transferred to the State Agricultural
College, which was just gaining al
foothold, while others left the city
and entered various other institu-
tions. Major Walker abandoned the
enterprise and left for Hayden lake,
later going to Kellogg, Idaho, and
entering the teaching profession. A
few years later he went to Boomers
Ferry, Idaho, where he taught until
1910, when he retired, and has re-
sided there since.
Major Walker is a veteran of the
Civil war and had accumulated an in
teresting and valuable collection of
relics of the various wars as well as
comprehensive exhibit of rough
minerals and jewels A large part
of the collection, including four valu-
able diamonds in the rough was lost
in the fire which destroyed the acad
envy buildings, but he has since add
ed to his collection and has one Of
the most interesting assortments of
relics and stones owned individually
in the Northwest.
The mission of Major Walker to
Pullman was to pack and ship to his
home at Boomers Ferry a historical
pipe organ which he has owned 80
years He loaned the organ, small
one of $50 pipes, to the Episcopal
church at the time the church was
organized here. The organ was
manufactured in Germany and in
1749 was shipped from that coun-
try to a German church in Pennsyl- !
vania. Later 1t came into the pos
session of a large musical concern
and in 1886 was purchased by Major
Walker. For several years the in
strument has been stored at the
State College and Major Walker
stated that It was like finding long |
lost friend to again get his hands on
