What others Think of

ABERDEEN'S ENTERPRIeING CITIZENS,
The citizens OF Aberdeen concluded
they wanted a railroad In on the north
side OF the Chehals river and made a
proposition TO the Northern Pacific rail-
r ad company to grade, lay and furnish
all rails and ties to complete the line into
the center of the city and the proposition
has been accepted. Chief Engineer Nc
Henry and c. II. Behler division en-.
gneer formally accepted IN the name of
the company, Tuesday. Citizens are
united on the question and work will be
started at once and pushed to completion
before the fall rains set in, if possible
The citizens OF Aberdeen are to be COM
mended for their enterprise in taokling a
job OF this size during times like the pres
ent, and their actions show unlimited grit
and a determination to make their city
grow and prosper. Seattle Telegraph.

POpulism Declining.

Populism seems to be losing its hold in
the Southwestern states. At the state
election in Arkansas. last Monday, the
full Democratic ticket was elected by in
creased majorities, although the Popuists
put forth their utmost strength to elect
their ticket. In Colorado the two factions
Of the Democratic party have united and
have placed a strong ticket in the field to
oppose the reelection OF Populist Waite
for governor. In the Southeastern states
Populism never did have much OF follow
ing, but throughout the Southwest, where
the closing Of silver mines and the failure

\ Hard Nut to Crack.

One OF the damning charges the republic
cans bring against the new tariff bill is
that England or Germany, or some other
country expects to greatly increse its eX-
ports 10 the United States. We are will
ing that the exports OF all the nations OF
the earth should increase, and that they
should send more and more oftheir goods
to this country. One would think to here
a protectionist talk, that while they are
doing this the people Of the United States
are going to sit with folded hands in idle
ness. But we imagine this is mistake.
We think they will be hard at work, pro-
ducing something to exchange for the
wares Of the foreigners. We are not of
that class who profess to think that 65,-
900, 1000 OF the most enlightened people in
the world, inhabting country of such
boundless natural resources as this one
has, will find their occupations disap-
pearing at the first approach OF CONNER
cial freedom. Don't let anybody suppose
for moment that the rest OF the world is
going to ship its products here to us, and
take away all our money, for them. In
stead Of our money, the world will take
our products in exchange. We believe
the average American can trade with the
average foreigner and get little the best
Of the deal every time.-Chehalis Nugget.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.


Ore OF the paramount questions OF tho
day is that OF the election OF United states
senators by direct vote OF the people.
1t is purely political subject, its eco
monte effect being only indirect. and tor
that reason the seltshness OF human ma
ture which tinges our ideas of legislation
OF an economic character will have no in
fluence upon the vast majority OF voters
when they come to consider this question.
For the same reason the people are slower
to take it up, and are more inclined to
follow in the beaten paths OF precedent,
and allow things to remain as they are.
When our iorefathers gave us our con-
stitution this was doubtless a wise provis-
ion, but like the electoral college it has
long outlived its usefulness in fact it has
become an element OF danger to the gov
eminent itself. That it does not respond
readily to the demands OF the people
does not alone condemn it. But when
our legislative halls are made the scenes
OF bribery and corruption, and corpora
tons traffic IN senatorial contests, it be-
comes matter OF serious concern to the
people, and it resolves itself into the one
question OF whether this is government
Of, by and for the people, or whether it is
a government Of, by and for the trusts
and corporations.
The Spokane Chronicle in uging that
this question be taken up by the state
convention and made a party issue, says ::
If the people are ever to get any honest
work done by whether tariff
reform or currency reform or the control
OF public corporations by the government,
instead OF the corporations controlling the
government-theym must begin by reform
ing the existing constitution OF the United
States senate. Our state legislatures
must no longer be made the scenes of cor
rupt bargains between the rings and mo-
nopolies in the selection OF senators. The
people OF each state must choose their own
senators at the ballot box. Candidates
for this high office must be made to I'M
derstand that they are responsible to the
people alone. When they are forced to
60 before the people and explain their
actions, to submit their motive to the test
OF platform discussion, to stand in the
forum where wealth cannot win over
merit, then we may hope for some effect
i've and honest work from their public
functions.
Why should not the question be made
party issue? The Democratic party is
pledged to reform, and this is certainly q
burning question on the line OF genuine
reform. We add our plea to that of the
Chronicle, and hope the Chehals county
convention will take up the question and
declare in favor of it.

an WORK ON THE ROAD.
Twenty-Five Mrn, Headed by the Mayor
start Grade Monday Morning.


Monday, September 10, 1921, was
red letter day in the history OF the new
Aberdeen, when Mayor Weatheiwax, at
the head OF twenty-five or more willing
workers, led the way to the grade where
the work OF constructing the railroad into
the city was commenced. All things
come to those who work and wait, ana so
to the citizens who have worked and
waited, and suffered disappointments, at
last is to come that for which they have
several years striven after, and at last by
their own exertions have they made pos
sibe the assurance of this road, and have
shown to the world that this is a point,
fashioned by nature, upon which to build
Il city.
The railroad meeting Thursday even
ing, while not so largely attended as
might have been, was nevertheless an
enthusiastic one. The fact that Wilson's
mill was running overtime kept good
many away. Mayor c. B. Weatherwax
was elected chairman and w. e. Mack,
secretary. Remarks were made by the
mayor, Captain J. NJ. Weatherwax, A. J.
West, Richard T. Dabney and others,
and when the objects OF the meeting had
been fully explained and subscriptions CT
lots, cash and labor asked for, nearly
every man present put his name down
for something. Samuel Benn gave 100
lots in Benn's Central addition to Aber-
deem to be given for ten days work each
on the grade. Alexander Young, Captain
S. G. Mitchell and others also donated
lots. r. T. Dabuey, N. w. Bush, J. G.
Lewis, NJ. =. Trask and others donated
5000 days labor was pledged, to which
nearly 800 more aere added next day.
Eugene France was elected foreman OF
the construction crew.
On Friday afternoon a meeting Of the
prime movers and business men was held
in the council chambers and trustees we're
elected to take charge OF the business
arrangements and collect and hold funds
and secure right-ot-waY. The committee
consists OF J. NJ. Weatherwax, Samuel
Benn, n. c. Kaufman, A. J. West, Chas.
r. Wilson and a. j. kroenert, the first
named being elected by the trustees as
their president, and w. +. Mack, secre-
tary. W. O. McKinlay, N. W. Bush and
j. c. Cross were appointed by the COM
mittee to attend to the legal points aris-
ing in rght-oiway and other matters.
Mr.. 7. V. Anderson, the supervising
engineer, arrived Saturday evening, and
Immediately went over the grade with
Foreman France, and Monday morning
the work was commenced at the end OF
the old grade just beyond Wilson's mill.
The following names appear on the
time book m To date.

TO THE DEMOCRACY OF CHE
HALLS COUNTY.

Before the issue OF another paper the
Democratic primaries will all have been
held, and the delegates selected for the
convention that is to mama candidates for
the various county and legislative offices,
which candidates, if rightly chosen, will
stand the best chance of election of any
ever named in this county. We desire
for the last time to urge upon the party
that representative men, Of whose Democ-
racy there is no doubt, be selected. The
Republicans are desperate, and will leave
no stone unturned to balk the Democrats
in their intention to put a clean, strong
ticket, therefore brook no interference
from them, and look with suspicion upon
any Democrat who is inclined to tiirt with
them. Let personal ambition be subserv.
lent to the good of the party, and every
man who is interested in substituting a
clean, economical government in this
state and county for the present rotten
and expensive one, should take off his
coat and work to that end. The enemy
is active, they are using all sorts OF means,
and only by hard work can they be over
come, but We believe they can be if every
Democrat will do his duty.
One of the best methods Of stirring up
voters to full sense of their duty is by
the formation OF clubs and the appoint
ment Of committees to do personal work
among the voters. Meet together and
talk over the situation, for only by SC
doing can one become posted upon the
questions of the day. If possible let clubs
be formed in every precinct on or before
the holding Of the primaries, so that en-
couragng reports may be brought to the
convention.
To the Democrats Of Aberdeen we wish
to say word in particular. You can see
from the Republican primaries what to
expect. Many OF the better element left
in the party are disguised, and only wait
strong showing Of confidence and clean
ticket on the part Of the Democrats to
administer rebuke to their party. There
IS to be gathering OF the Democrats OF
Aberdeen Saturday evening for general
discussion OF the situation. Be there and
express your views. Bring one or more
with you, and let there be such a demon
stration Of enthusiasm as will convince
the most doubling Democrat or the most
skeptical Republican, Populist or Prohi-
bitionist that the Democrats Of Chchalis
county are in the fight this year to win.
If possible let by.gones be by-sones,
but if not this meeting is the time and
place to settle the question and deter
mine upon a course OF action. Above
all things send no man to the convention
the genuineness Of whose Democracy can
be questioned.

is proposed to turn the money over to the
county in exchange for days work by
delinquent taxpayers.

The prospects are not favorable for good

The prospects are not favorable for good
prices OH hops this year. Doubtless
the &. o. p. stumpers will lay it to the
new tariff bill, but the following extract
from prominent dealers circular to the
brewers will give fair minded men an ac-
curate idea Of the real cause: "Our total
for this crop in the United States is $780,
600 bales; hops in farmers hands, ,000
bales; consumption in the United States,
10000 bales surplus, 2l5,O00." Taking
this surplus with the statement OF the
American consul at Hamburg that the
hop harvest in Germany will equal the
yield of the most favorable years in the
past, and that Europe, which has hereto
fore used American hops largely will, it
is thought, raise more than will be re-
quired for home consumption, the reason
for the low price is SO plain that the way
farirg man though Republican can see.
