A CHANGE NEEDED.

The Democrats of Chehalis county need
no better argument against our pres
ent senators and congressman in the next
election than the lack of attention given
by them to the necessities of this section.
Several years ago an appropriation of
$4,000 was made for lighthouse at the
entrance OF the Harbor, but through the
indifference OF the Washington delegation
in congress this money was allowed to
revert to the treasury. The excuse is
made that the sum was zoo small for a
first-class light, and the matter was al
lowed to slumber with a view of securing

The HERALD suggests to the chamber
OF commerce that it have prepared some
cabinets containing specimens in the
ugh and finished state of Grays harbor
timber products, and such other speci
mems as may be deemed advisable, one
OF such cabinets, suitably inscribed with
the name OF city, sent as gift to the
lumber exchanges Of, say, Chicago, Min
neapolis and st. Louis. If properly got
ten up such an exhibition as this would
be gladly received and given position in
halls OF the exchanges. 1t would be a
permanent and inexpensive advertis-
ment OF our resources, and we hope the
matter will receive the consideration OF
the chamber.

THE city council did the proper thing
when it refused to accept the proposition
to remove the council. chamber TO the
rear of the Aberdeen bank. The room
offered is entirely too small for public
meeting place; it is no more central than
the present location and acceptance of
the proposition means the death of the
chamber OF commerce-an institution
which has accomplished much for Aber-
deem and gives promise Of great future
influences. A removal would cost the
city probably 5000 for new furniture,
which money invested in good fireproof
safe would be much the better invested.
The city has everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by such change and the
HERALD trusts the council will remain
where it is for some time to come.

THE MURPHY PLEDGE.

EDITOR HERALD: / was much inter-
ested in the recent temperance meetings
and was a regular attendant after Sunday
night. Out of the meetings listened to
the various and conflicting opinions ex-
pressed by the people as to the efficacy
OF the Murphy pledge as help to total
abstinence, the many reasons given for
taking the pledge and the different ideas
held regarding the obligation under which
the signer had placed himself. One man
says he merely signed the pledge to get
friend who was hard drinker, to sign
it. and went from the meeting to saloon
and took several drinks. If the hard
drinker followed his friends example in
the first case will he not do SO in the
second? Such sophistry is as disgusting
as it is fallacious, and from the ex-
pressions have heard from this "cute"
mans friends, l know they think less OF
him than they ever did before.
Another man, and not much of a
drinker, either, says he will keep the
pledge year. Still another says he will
stand by it six months, and so it goes.
When the people saw these men 90 for
ward and sign Mr.. Murphy's pledge they
supposed the individual knew that he
was pedging his "woRD AND HONOR" to
refrain from using Intoxicating liquors as
a beverage FOREVER. They did not know
that the pledges were signed with men,
tai reservations. 1t would have been
more manly, more honorable in the sight
OF man had the signer announced his
period of abstenance before he signed and
put OH the blue ribbon, than to be walk
ing about, practically under false colors
Again, many men have asked me if I
REALLY mean to keep the pledge" and
seem surprised when say do. What
are they thinking Of? What do they con-
slider their word Of honor worth? Anv
man who will willingly barter the honor
he has pledged openly before his fellow
citizens for the pleasure and pain of the
liquor habit is fool-and he knows il
IN his Utmost soul. How many men
have the proud distinction of having their
neighbors say of them: ellis word il as
good as his bond?' Were we to observe,
the same punctilio in pledges given in
ery-day life that we do in business oh
legations, the quotation cited above would
apply to all.
Some friends and acquaintance have
said "it is sign of weakness to sign tho
Murphy pledge, and am too proud r.
do it," 1 am sorry they are not too propd
to get full of liquor and then visit the
dance halls. Such pride is false. II is
not worthy of the name, and such yaunted
manhood is sad to see in men who arc
fitted by training and education to adorn
the highest ranks OF social, business q,
professional life have more confidence
in the man who says 81 will trv to keo,,
the pledge" than have in those who cor
they will keep it so and so lone. Tf ~,

The HERALD is glad to note the interest
now being taken by exchanges in the
Torrens system of land titles which if
has SO long indorsed. Investigation of
this system by the people must convince
the most skeptical that it is the most
practical and simple plan of real estate
transfer yet devised.

to one received by him from the club and also pub

appropriang the club song for In his OPERA The
Fencing Master" In his reply Mr.. De Koven charges
the club with q breach Of etiquette In publishing q
private letter relating to club affairs. lie then sites
that 1t Is we'll known that the club song
was not original with any Of the club
members, but Ia spanish popular tune
which had been used in public many years before the
organization of the Abb Club version Of 1t having
been Incorporated by Ofenbach in his "ve Paris

any one has as good right to 1t the Abb Club,
and 1t would be difficult, not TO say absurd to at
tempt to establish any exclusive proprietary rights
10 any popular air. Even allowing that a portion
OF n musical number in "The Fencing Master, was
suggested by the mir In question the practice OF every
composer would furnish precedent for such thing;
and, furthermore, the adaptation Of a popular tune
into a musical score would not vitiate a composers

OBITUARY.
TIE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.

I London, Nov. 0.-Thc Duke of Marlborough
was found dead in bed at Blcnheim Palace this
| morning
The Duke was out driving yesterday and was
in good spirits. lie showed no symptoms OF i'll
rcss. Upon his return from his drive he took
dinner and ate well. lie passed the evening in
reading and writing and retired at midnight, still
seemingly in good health His conversation was
cheerful. When his valet entered the Dukes bed
room this morning he found his master lying on
his back in bed. Cnc of his arms was thrown over
his chest and his hand was clinched above his
heart. ISs face was serene, and he appeared to
be asleep. The valet made no attempt 10 arouse
him, until lie noticed the nallor of the face. Then
he attempted to wake him, but found he
dead. II is supposed that death resulted from
heart disease.
A servant was sent post haste for physi-
clan, bat when the latter arrived at the palace
all that he could do was TO confirm the knowledge
of all the household that the Duke was dead.
All the members of the family at once in
formed of the Dukes death. The valet hes
tatcd TO break the news 10 the Duchess HIM
self and summoned maid and sent her to the
Duchesss room with instructions 10 tell Her Grace
that he could rot arouse the Duke. The Duchess
hurried to the bedside to find her husband dead.
She was terribly shocked and broke down com
plctcy.
Tho MARQUIS of Blandford: the Dukes son. and
Lord Randolph Churchill his brother, arrived at
Bcnhem this afternoon. They found the Ouch
ess PROSTATE with grief
The Duke recently seemed TO have bccn IN
better health than usual. All summer he was
working hard over telephone scheme AMI other
ventures In the city. He was the head OF new
telephone company which was 70 revouhonize
the existing system, but this company jolncl thc
telephone pool q few months ago.
When the Duchess returned to Enalanl' a'tcr
her marriage. she found Bcnhcm Palace in
most diapidatcd condition Even the locks OIL
,hc doors and windows had to be replaced. All
the expenses of repairing the palace were met
by the Duchess, who spent enormous sums In this
way All this is lost to her. rs the place D.
comes the property of the Dukes son. who has
hitherto been known the Marquis of Blanl-
ford II is probable that when the new Duke

hc has lived since her divorce In this cas-, the
Duchess will not have even tho satisfaction o.

In view Of the suddenness Of tho Dukes death,
while he was apparently enjoying good health, it
il problble that an inquest will be held to de-
terminc the cause OF death.
