ANTI-PASS LEGISLATION
It is with distinct dissapoint-
ment that we record the defeat of
i the anti-pass bi11s. The bills
! were introduced to prevent any
. public officers from accepting fa\-
favors
I ors in the way of transportation
! from a railway company. There
I is no valid reason why such legislation -
islation should not be cnact'd.
.
- - . There is every reason why it
: should become n part of our
I
law. Judges are constantly
hearing cases and cleciling ( lis-
puted question of' property rights
between individuals and railroad
corporations. There is no COI11I11U-
nityof interest between ( hejudge
. '
. anti the : individials. There is a
subconscious bon 1 between the
" .
. - court and the corporation because
of the fact that the judge has his
. . . . pocket bulging with the railroad
. ' company's generosit\ Every
. judge in thc state is saved several
hundred dollars annualv because
-
\
_ . of these favors. : Would such . a
: court be justified in receiving
I from the individual litigant an
) , equal favor in the way of money ?
The state board of equalization
. and assessment passes upon corporate -
orate property. By wh at moral
right can they accept favors
from the corporations that come
. before them for judgment ?
The railroads say that passes
are distributed as a matter of
courtesy. If so why has the railroad
I " : road lobby been fighting all
# . .
- wider for the privilege being
courteous ? If any reader should
be elected Judge today , he would f
recie.-e annual passes from every
railroad in the state before he
was forty eight hours older.
There will be no anti-pass leg
islation this winter. . .
The legislature has killed the
bills.
.The lobby made us "do so" is i
the excuse.
BROWN VS WHITE
z : After Japan has Rus -
, sia , and is in possession of the
t
fruits of her great victory , what
then ?
Occupying lIanchuriavith an
army oJ half a million veterans ,
St L ; . . ' who will dispute the possession
, , : r ' -
of the territory with her ?
If she has , designs on other ter-
ritory , who will contest the matter -
t
' . ter with her ? Supposeshe should
covet the Philippines , what posi-
; 1 , tion is the United States in to de-
, '
" fend its own ? Japan is becoming -
ing arrogant. Her newspapers

light between the brown man and :
the white. The Japanese officers -
cers arc even now stirring up the
avarice and cupidity of the Chin-
ese people. tl'hese two races
have more than six hundred million -
lion inhabitants. . tl'he Brown
man has been a sleeping giant
for ccnturies. He shows signs of
breaking his rest.Should awake
what then ? No two different races
can rule together. One is always
the master-one the servant. A
struggle between the brown man
and the white ! would be a mighty
contest , and one that the civilized
world cannot afford.
NO CIRCULARS.
A rumor that Mr. Dorrington's
friends were to issue circulars attacking -
tacking the citizens candidate ,
has been industriously circulated
for the past weck. The Tribune
is authorized to emphatically deny -
ny the truth of such a story. Mr.
Dorrington is too high minded a
gentleman to descend to this
character of poHtics. Neither
has he a friend in this campaign
who would countenance such ( US-
reputable methods.
It is the tree with the finest
fruit that has stones th rown at
it.
\V. E. Dorrington for Mayor
means , "A square dealthat's
a11" .
The Journal advises the young
men to keep out of politics. Time
Journal has been out for some
time and knows.
The Journal having disposed
of tile beef trust , now finds time
to devote to Jack Crook and C. F.
Reavis .
\Vc don't know who said it , but
it was the truth when he said ,
"it doesn't make ' any difference
where you stand , the question is
which way are you going ? "
Today is yourd lY. Yesterday
never was-tomorrow never will
be. This is the only day of
which you are sure-what will
you do with it ?
The local campaign gro ws
warm. Zach passing day discloses -
closes rrington's strength in-
creasing.It will l not be ttna & 1imous ,
but for all practical purposes it
might as well be.
Falls City lost one of its most
representative and useful citizens
in the death of E. E. Mettz. He
has been dent Hied with its inter-
est for many years , and his loss
will bring a keen : realization of
how much he has contri buted to
thc . intcrest and welfare of our
city.

Though It may be the express-
ion of a depravcCl taste , we would
still say , that if the limes band
were going to play in Falls City
we "ould insist on the "Honey-
suckle and the bee" as an encore.
'Ve have heard the b and play
this piece and it is worth while.

IfV. . E. Dorrington ever
wronged a fellow man , we have
never heard of it. He has always
been the fri nd of every man ,
woman and child in this city , not
alone now whcn he is a candidate ,
but at all times and under all
circumstanccs.
No collateral matter will be allowed -
lowed to influence the result of
the municipal elcction. The fact
that the Martins arc Unfriendly
to Crook , Reavis , VanDuscn ct al
tends in no wise to prove Mr ,
Leyda the more competent man
for mayor. The question is one
looking to the welfare of the
the city. It is a contest between
\ViiHam E. Dorring'ton and 'V.S.
Leyda. The Journal will not be
able to confuse the issue by vent-
ing its spleen on other men , who
do not view the situation as that
paper docs. \Ve do not criticise
the Martins for supporting the
citizens ticket. If report is true ,
it was made up in the Journal
office one Sunday. Every man
should be loyal to his own. The
voters of this city will support
the man whose past indicates 1 the
brightest future. It is a business
not a personal matter. 't ' his be-
ing true , there can be no question
as to the result.
