Trusting in Providence is all right,

mirable and most of the state papers
are expressing words of appreciation.
Notably, the Portland Journal, which
naturally opposes Sinnott because of
party affiliation, made extra effort to
extend praise to the Second district
congressman in his work at Wash
ington. That Sinnott's fight, ' along with
Cliamberlain's, will accomplish much

WALSH ON BRANDEIS.
So much is being printed relative
to the confirmation of Brandeis, and
so much of the criticism is of an ex
treme nature, that it is well to listen
carefully to what Senator .Walsh
says:
'Brandeis real crime was that he
exposed the iniquities of men occupy
ing high places in our financial
world," asserted Walsh. "He did not
stand in awe of the majesty of
wealth. In his written and expressed
views he favored 'social justice.'
"It would be easy for a brilliant
lawyer so to conduct himself that h
would escape calumny and vilification.
All he needs to do it to drift with the
tide. If ho never assaults the evil
doer who stands high in the market
places, he will have r.o enemies and
no detractors." (
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN
ALASKA.
H
There is much civic spirit in Juneau
and the town believes in municipal
ownership. It owns and operates the
principal wharf -and it has its own
fuel depot, where it supplies coal to
the citizens at the rate of $10 per ton.
Before the city went into the coal
business coal was bringing $14 a ton,
and at the same time gasoline was
celling at 85 cents a gallon. The
mayor began to sell in competition
and the price of "gasoline dropped to
21 cents. The city has also aided m
the building of a cold storage plant
.with a freezing capacity of 18,000
pounds a day and storage rooms for
50,000 pounds of fish.
Juneau has electric lights and wa
ter-works supplied by springs and
streams in the mountains. It has a
elcphone system and la service of i
ferries which connect it with the sev
eral towns on the channel. All of thj
latter are run by private corpora-1
tions. Frank G. Carpenter, in The

many things including conventions
and gatherings and road shows. And
between large attractions the house
will run moving pictures. Is it pos
sible the day of the big theatre is
coming back?. We shared the belief
that tho movies had forever strangled
the large show house.
An addition of ten stalls to the La
Grande railroad terminals is food for
enthusiasm. Every person in the
city should feel the certainty of La
Grande's position as a irailroad town
ind rejoice in the future prosperity
that is surf? to eclipse the splendid
