Perhaps Charlie will do better this evening. Victory for the "Evening Bunc" Kci crowd of curbstone bosses next Saturday would prove good news to the democratic candidates. That crackling sound of explosions you are hearing this afternoon is only the bursting of the toy balloons of the curbstone bosses. That cheeky fellow in East St. Louis, who yearns to marry one of Walla Walla's fair harvest maids, is much safer in the river burg.

Out this way the husbands support the wives. The way those solid, well-to-do property owners turned out as Ankeny men at the caucuses last night is an indication of what is going to happen to the curbstone bosses. The brief reign of Warden Frank Kees as boss of the "Evening Bunc" and curbstone bosses is about over. "For Mead and Kees" is not a popular battle cry in Walla Walla. What do you think of that reckless Crfni forgery in the "Evening The lowest, vilest sheet of any c'ty woul'3 be ashan; -d of such outrageous prevarication.

There should be some sort of legal redress for a man who is so thievishly buncoed, as was former Guard A. W. Crlm, whi) signed one statement and had another sprung on him. The warring editorialists will be able to take their second wind then begin all over again by the time the convention opens. Let us give thanks that November ends it.

The "Evening Bunc" is boasting of its "enormous" circulation during these piping political times. The man who distributes handbills and dodgers free of charge has the same sort of a "circulation." What with Otto Rupp's $5 contribution and the "Bunc's" $00, those infantile Boxer bosses are indulging in reckless dissipation today. Red lemonade and chewing gum are going by gallons and pounds. The "Evening Bunc" sturdily maintains its right to its pseudonym. The brazen manner in which it attempted to bunco A.

W. Crim. after securing his signature to one statement and deliberately manufacturing and printing another, is on a par with the lightning rod agent who transformed a contract into a mortgage on your farm. Walla Walla should be wildly hilarious tonight. The money contributed by the "Evening the fat rolls sent over by R.

Correctly Fitted TO BOSS OR BE BOSSED! Results of the republican primaries today will practically determine if Senator Ankeny is to receive the support due him, or whether the curbstone bosses, the '-eliminated" traitors and the political pluguglies, will be permitted to ride in under the banner of a new machine, organized for the sole purpose of appropriating the spoils of office and providing public pap for a host of parasites. For the sake of the good name of Walla Walla city and county it is to be hoped the people can be brought to a realization of the dangers of turning over the political control to men who have no other desire, or intention, than to further their own selfish ends. The Statesman has taken no part in this struggle for the supremacy of one machine or another. Its interests are solely those of the property owners and taxpayers of the city and county. Yet, as do thousands of citizens, this paper deprecates the entrance of revengeful, professional politicians who, cast out of one organization, are seeking to create another creation of which undoubtedly endangers the reelection of a senator from Walla Walla.

No worse political catastrophe could happen to Walla Walla as a whole than to have the representation of irresponsible, notorious renegades such as surround the "Evening Bunc," in any state convention. It would be more than a calamity. For this reason The Statesman is of those who desire to see all of the tricky political deals and subterfuges expunged and a convention held with representative men chosen to express the unanimous will if the people to protect, in every way. the interests of a Walla Walla senator. In the confusion incident to the hue and cry raised over the issues of is really the one rule or ruin issue, have been some reputable citizens led astray, or persuaded to enter the opposition ranks, in the belief that real policies and principles exist there.

To such The Statesman would suggest they are lending their influence merely to place into power men who seek nothing but the exploitation of their selfish ambitions to be political bosses. To bring about such new bossism they are willing to sacrifice the interests of their senator and, consequently, the interests of Walla Walla. Calm consideration of the conditions will convince any thinking man that false pretenses have been resorted to in order to attract the more indifferent, or less intelligent, vote. is a far cry. Ankenyism is an the tricky domination of Warden A.

F. Kees and the "Evening Bunc" is a menacing reality. BRYAN'S VICTORY IN DEFEAT. Mr. Roger Sullivan hit Mr.

Bryan pretty hard when he declared that all the money Bryan has he got out of politics. This is true; but it is also true that Mr. Bryan got the money out by putting his time in. His first money came from the sales of a book entitled the "First Battle," which was but a compilation of Mr. Bryan's speeches in the campaign of 1896.

The Associated Press furnished the copy while Mr. Bryan furnished the speeches. It was not a hard job, as he had to make the speeches anyhow in pursuance of his ambition to be president. The book itself was neither attractive nor convincing, and has long since been relegated to the same garret with Halstead's lives of candidates and hot-foot descriptions of battles he did not see. It has no value.

Mr. Bryan's next venture was as the publisher of a newspaper whose chief claim to circulation is that it is democratic, and must, therefore, be taken by democrats. The members of the democratic party all over the land were held up for subscriptions to the Commoner when it was launched. It has been a moderate success from a financial standpoint, but as a newspaper it amounts to nothing. Mr.

Bryan's editing amounts to no more than contributing his speeches and his letters of travel. It is a personal organ supported by the democratic party. His third venture was as a lecturer, and here Mr. Bryan struck his true vocation at last. lectures are not vastly sought after in this day, Mr.

Bryan gets good prices and delivers a good lecture to large audiences. His lectures are probably the foundation of his fortune, and his lectures would never have been a success if he had not previously been a candidate for the presidency. The only serious effort Mr. Bryan has made to practice his profession of the law was in the Bennett will case, he was thrown out of court. It one were forced to classify Mr.

Bryan industrially, he would be obliged to put him down as an entertainer, something higher than a vaudeville artist and below a serious teacher of morals and manners. His lectures are a string of platitudes beautifully woven together and delivered in a voice which has few equals and no superiors. When he was entertained by the newspaper men in New York, Mr. Bryan hectored them severely about parting with their ideals, and boasted that he had made all the money he needed and there was not a taint on any dollar of it. Yet he was talking to men who every day are putting in more hours of sincere, earnest labor than Mr.

Bryan ever did, but whose rewards are merely those of ordinary men because they happen never to have been defeated for the presidency. NATIONAL ISSUE IS ROOSEVELT Secretary Bonaparte put the matter tersely but truly when he said, "I am ready to accept the approval or disapproval of the president as the issue of the autumn campaign." It is the issue. While the campaign managers may fulminate against this trust and that abuse, the fact remains that the man in the White House is the only man who has ever staked his whole future in a practical batle to reduce the trust corporations to their proper place as law-abiding servants of the public. The president has depended upon congress to give him laws with which to wage his battle. It cannot be said that the democratic minority in congress has not given him aid.

But the situation of a democratic minority in the house giving its adhesion to good measures is different from that of a democratic majority in the house attempting to make thunder for a presidential campaign. The house and senate would at once lock horns and all but routine business would come to a standstill. That the president would be strength ened by the removal of some of the present republican members is quite true, but that he would be strengthened by the removal of the republican majority in the lower house is untrue for the reasons given above. The problem is rather one of republican nominations in some districts. If the same districts have not taken the precaution to retire corporation servants it makes, and it ought to make, their fight to return republican congressmen more difficult.

In the main, however, it may be assumed that the republicans have nominated men who can be depended upon to take their part in the battle for a square deal. There is nothing to be gained by choosing a democratic house at this time. If the last republican congress had failed of its duty, there might be good reason to expect its retirement. But both houses were conspicuous for their achievements. There never was a more conscientious or ef ficient congress in session.

Why, then, should the people change? SHY A WITNESS. But Edwards Jones Persisted and Thus Won His Bride. After searching the city for someone who could testify that the bride was over 18 years, witness was found and Edward Marian Jones of Umatilla county got the coveted license which united him to Miss Mattie Elizabeth Hickman. The bride was 22 but Deputy Mc- Kinney said "he was from Missouri" so the groom went hunting for the proof which the law requires. Things looked dubious for a time, but finally the coveted witness was found and Judge Thomas H.

Brents had a marriage ceremony to perform. The happy couple will reside in Umatilla county near Pendleton. HE YEARNS! OH, HOW HE YEARNS!

He picked out the one which sounded most musical to him and which, evidently reminded him of his alma mater.

As yet Mr. Sommers of East St. Louis, has received no wires, or expense money, to come to Walla Walla. Instead he is getting large chunks of the icy "haw-haw." Labor Leaders on Trial. CHICAGO, Sept.

O'Shea and other labor leaders, charged with conspiracy to ruin the business of Montgomery Ward during the teamsters strike in 1905. were arraigned this morning and pleaded not guilty. The selection of the jurymen was begun. THE EVENING STATESMAN, WALLA WALLA, WA3HINGTOM: Press Comments Palace vs. Home.

A man may build a palace, but he can never make of it a home. The spirituality and love of a woman alone can accomplish this. "Lives of Rich Men." New York American.

The story is that Mr.

Hill suggested that the railroad commission's subpoena be left with the colored attendant. This was a little more polite than Mr. Vanderbilt's attitude toward the interfering, snooping public. Prosperity Enough. Springfield Republican.

It is pretty nearly universal throughout the complaint of scarcity of labor. It comes from the western farms and the eastern cotton mills, from the southern manufacturers as well as the southern planters, and from various other industries in all sections. From Pittsburg it is stated that railroads which had established an age limit for new employes hnve abandoned the rule In the stress to man their trains. Our prosperity is beginning to overflow. A Plutocrat Himself.

Chicago Chronicle. The American people worship success and the successful man, but Bryan is a chronic failure. If his election to congress for one term be excepted he has failed in everything political that he has ever attempted. Wetmore, Nixon, Goitra to mention Tom Johnson. Be these the proper associates for Democracy's consecrated one? Is not the consecrated one.

as a matter of fact, drifting away from democratic moorings? Have not the fruits of Chautauqua lectures and "boiler-plate" newspaper contributions weakened Mr. Bryan's hostility to plutocracy? Is he not now a good deal of a plutocrat himself and entirely willing to be a bigger one? Taught Him Lesson. A cruel Dago employed on the railroad construction works at Wren Greenough's camp 7 struck the pet otter with a shovel, severely injuring the animal's back and rendering it practically helpless. A foreman of the crew wore out a pair of hobnail boots in kicking the Dago along the scenic shore of the picturesque Columbia. There should have been more footwear worn out at that camp.

The otter was picked up in the river, where it was found swimming aimlessly about in a big eddy when it was so young that its eyes had not yet opened to the world. It was nourished with a nursing bottle and was cared for and petted and tamed by the camp crew until it became as domesticated as a house cat. In the evening it would pass among the men, waiting for each to pet it. It never bit anyone and never molested anyone. It is believed the heartless Dago was envious of the otter's degree of intelligence.

Camp 7 men think their pet will recover from its injury. COACH BAIRD ARRIVES. New Athletic Instructor for Whitman Takes Charge This Afternoon. Coach J. H.

Baird, who will teach football at Whitman this season arrived last evening from Minnesota. He was tendered an informal reception by the boys at Billings hall. He intends to have every possible footballist out on Ankeny field before the week is over. The first practice began this afternoon when the new coach showed evidences of that ability which gave him a place on the All-Western team in 1902. Coach Baird comes here direct from Carleton college where he has been instructor in football for the past three years.

He is six feet high and strong in proportion and besides being a fine football man, has a record in other branches of athletics. Success. Of Course. Polite Mr. Hill.

Hover Sunshine. AMUSEMENTS At the New Orpheum. Undoubtedly the greatest aggregation of vaudeville artists of the first magnitude has been engaged for the opening week of the New Orpheum and that the house will be packed during the entire week goes without saying. The management have taken especial pains to provide, for their initial bow before a Walla Walla audience, none but top-notchers and headliners in the vaudeville firmament, and the fullest measure of success should crown their efforts. The Taylor Quintet, of five exquisite male voices, have been greeted with deep appreciation and much applause wherever they have appeared.

Virginia Moe, the singer of illustrated songs, has certainly sung her way into the hearts of every audience before whom she has appeared. Trixeda Robinson are the peers of any team in their line of artistic vaudeville work. Their act is thoroughly clean and of the highest grade. Blair and MeXulty have an international reputation and are hailed with delight by all who are afforded the opportunity of seeing their clever performance. Annie Abbott, "The Georgia is truly one of the marvels of modern times.

Her act alone is worth more than ten times the admission asked for the whole performance. She has appeared before all the crowned heads of Europe. She is a mystery to the medical profession and is justly entitled to be classed among the world's greatest wonders. The New Orpheum, in its new coat of harmonious colorings, brilliant lighting scheme and appropriate scenery, is a veritable bandbox and the interest being displayed by the citizens assures the management of packed houses for the entire week. MAY ASK FOR CHANGE OF VENUE Chester Young Seattle Murderer May Be Tried in Kitsap County.

SEATTLE, Sept. is probable that the trial of Chester Thompson, charged with the murder of Judge G. Meade Emory, will not be heard in this county, but instead a change of venue will be asked and the hearing be transferred to Kitsap or some other county in the state, states the Seattle Post Intelligencer. This is the opinion of many prominent attorneys as well as trial judges of the county, and the reason given is that the acquaintance of Judge Emory as well as that of the boy's father might have some influence in the case. It is also held that on account of the fact that all of the parties most concerned in the case are well known it is not probable that a jury of 12 intelligent men could be secured who have no information regarding the case.

A motion was filed Friday in the superior court asking that the case of the state vs. Thompson be stricken from the docket for the time. The motion was granted. Judge Frater, before whom the motion was made, declaring that it would be impossible for a man having any human feeling to deny it. MAKING FORTY MILES A DAY Horseback Riders on Overland Trip to New York Enjoying Experience Hugely.

From 40 to 45 miles a day is the clip Fred Winters, Jim Reardan and William Tucker, the three Spokane globe trotters now enroute to New York on horseback, are traveling. A letter was received from them, mailed at Billings, and it is as follows: "This is to let you know we have arrived in Billings on our trip to New York on horseback. We have done some hard riding lately, but we feel we can easily make the trip now, as each man has two horses and we can change off. We have our three original mounts with us and they are doing fine work. "We feel we have the hardest part of the trip behind us and look with confidence toward the future.

Our plan is to pick up a few (more unbroken horses and break them. Then we can sell them in Chicago and cut down expenses. "We are making between 40 and 45 miles every day just now to make up for time lost in coming through the Rocky mountains. We are all well and in very good health." ORGANIZE ATHLETIC GLOB Plans Working for New Organization in Citg TO MATCH REILLY UNO BURROWS GOOD GLOVE CONTEST PROPOSED FOR RACE BILLARDS, OTHER SPORTS. A movement is on foot among a number of business men of the city to organize an athletic club and open up the fighting game in Walla Walla again.

Negotiations have been begun to match Jim Burrows, the Fernie, B. middleweight, with Jack Reilly, the fight to be pulled off during race week. Reilly is anxious to entice Burrows into the ring again. Burrows beat Reilly in 19 rounds at the Spokane theater a year ago in one of the best fights ever pulled off in Spokane. Bowling Alleys Open.

Smith Lankard, proprietors of the Walla Walla Bowling alleys are putting the finishing touches on all their alleys for the opening of the 1906-7 season next Monday night. All the alleys have been redressed and resurfaced and bowlers who attend the opening will find them as nearly perfect as they ever rolled balls on. A feature of the opening next Monday night will be match games between well-known local bowlers. Improve Billiard Rooms. The Lucky Strike Cigar Company, August Bade, manager.

57 East Main street, have decided make extensive improvements to their billiard rooms. The store next to the present quarters has been rented which will give them just twice the space they now occupy. Three new tables will be installed, two pool and one a billiard. These additional tables will give the parlors a total of six. In fitting up their enlarged quarters considerable attention is to be paid to billiard room fixtures and furniture and the Lucky Strike people propose to have billiard parlors that will be cosy and modern in every respect.

Workmen will begin improvements at once and in less than a month's time they expect to have everything in readiness for the coming season. At Lutchers. Eutoher well known billiard hall has set its opening for the coming season for Wednesday night. Sept. 19.

At these parlors improvements have been extensive during the past few weeks. Several tables have been recovered with new cloths and new sets of balls added. At these parlors the management has decided to give its patrons prizes Saturday night of each week. The prizes undoubtedly will act as an incentive to local players to pay some attention to their on prize night at least. For the coming season Lutcher Bros, are adding another table, giving the parlors in all seven first class billiard and pool tables.

At the opening night next Wednesday several local expert billiardists will perform. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP LOST Seattle Defeats Proposition by a Big Plurality BOND ISSUES CARRY OVERWHELMINGLY QUESTIONS OF LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL AND EXTENSION OF WATER ARE POPULAR. SEATTLE. Sept. proposed municipal ownership of street railway systems was defeated yesterday by a vote of 5974 against 7180.

The result is better than the most sanguine of the opponents of the issue anticipated, the expectation being that the municipal ownership party would poll a majority of the votes. Threefifths of the total vote cast was necessary to carry the proposition. The defeat is attributed principally to the fact that heavy tax payers and small property owners objected to the incaeresd taxation. The vote on the issue of $500,000 in bonds for the Lake Washington canal was overwhelmingly carried which rractically insures the construction of the canal. The vote on the issue of bonds for the extension cf the city water system also carried.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 BABIES' RIGHTS. Do Mothers Know Best How to Care of A rough looking young foreign a borer and his wife entered a trite car. They were of the poorest tin? The wife carried their first mite no more than a month old father could not keep his black eves off it. Its tiny pink fists teemed tba object of his special wonderment Every once in awhile he would roich out his grimy hand, unclasp one of the baby's doubled fists and clasp the pfcA fingers around his own forefinger Will that tiny newcomer live and grow to maturity in spite of the iKnoranee, poverty, unhygienic and uncontrolled tempers of its parents? The chances are against it. Be Gentle With the Baby.

The first thing infants or young children require for the development of a healthy nervous system is absolute gentleness and quiet. The mother who will jerk a child or yell at it and threaten it in coarse language is brute. Even the baboon mother does, not yank her ape infant by the arms And yet some of these human brute mothers slap their little children upon the ears or beat them black and blue in fits of beast rage. I once heard a fool woman say she began to "break her baby's will" by spanking It soundly when it was only six weeks old! That woman would have received her dues If she had been tied up and well whipped. forget It and yelling at babies and young children, jerking, slapping and 6haking them ruin their nervous system and lay the foundation for no end of disease In after life.

Resides, and perhaps worst of all, such ment retards the progress of an enlightened civilization by training them in turn to hecome brutes instead of courteous and refined human beings. Keep the Baby Clean. A bath every morning is a baby's Just due, and nothing should cheat il out of this. Its clothing should be tbor oughly washed, aired and sunned. Many a careless washerwoman fails to rinse the soapsuds out of garments woru next a child's tender skin.

When a baby smells sour you may be sure its mother or nurse iS one of the human brutes. Tiny soft rags of immaculate cleanliness should be kept in the baby's basket to wash its mouth and gums. A perfectly clean, soft cloth often may be saturated with cold drinking water and THE SILK SOFT TOUCH OF A BABY'S put to an infant's lips and it will derive infinite satisfaction from sucking at the cooling cloth, especially when the weather is hot. If an infant's scalp gets scurfy and accumulates a sore crust, gently rut) pure vaseline into the place every This will both cleanse and heal tbe scalp and allgw the disfiguring scurf tc be washed off easily. i Baby's Mattress and Pillows.

Suppose an infant is put to sleep, as is commonly the case, upon a feather pillow and mattress. When it wakes in hot weather, often in cold, the unpleasant feather pillow will be wring ing wet with perspiration and oftentimes the child's neck will be covered with prickly heat eruptions. Featne pillows and mattresses for infants ar all wrong. In cold weather a down quilt may be tucked over the child, du that is enough of stuffy, unpleasam feathers about a baby. Its likewise its pillow, should be construct ed of soft horsehair.

Don't you your baby to be free from susceptiD. itv to cold taking; don't you want have firm flesh and a thick hair? Then throw away the pillow and mattress. Tiny are now to be had for infants. A ww should always sleep alone. An Infant's First Teeth.
