eventually settled at the ballot
box. where the sovereign citizen
settles all questions that affect
his interest and require taxation
| to consummate.
True, it may be said that each
State adopts its own road laws,
and the question is settled by the
voters now; but it Is not made an
issue in any State. 1t has prac-
tically been treated as settled
question. 1t IS agitated in no
campaign and made a plank in
no platform. No legislative can
didate OF the peOple-county,
State, or Nationals required,
as a condition precedent to his
election, TO declare his policy on
the question Of the betterment Of
the public highways. 1t is true
each State provides for a tax levy
for road work, and for the elec-
ton Of supervisors to control
such work Beyond this State
laws are sometimes a jumble of
crude and impracticable ideas.
The laws enacted are without
meaning; those elected TO enforce
them are chosen without enthusi-
asm and often without reference
to their qualifications; the men
who do the work under their di-
rectiOn, in most of the States, are
discharging poll tax with the
least possible amount OF labor,
and are working largely without
plans, specifications, or direc-
tons, and the result-the only
one that could be expected-is a
road without grades or drainage,
that is'du8t in summer, mud IN
fall, spring, and winter, and the
dread Of every traveller who must
pass over it.
AS a means Of interstate COM
munication it should become in
some way a question Of Federal
importance, and be forced be-
yond the point of discussion in
occasional public improvement
conventions, newspaper, and
magazine articles, and carried
before the people in such man.
ner that all classes may be ar
oused to its Importance as an
economic problem that is burden
ing them now with taxation that
is fruitless Of results and that is
greatly retarding the progress of
their country.
Every State Of the Union should
have a settled policy on the kind
of roads it shall construct, and
every county should see to it
that no citizen be allowed to rep
resent it in the legislative halls Of
the State without a pledge to work
faithfully for the enforcement of
such policy. Then, and not un-
til then, will the condition Of our
public roads cease TO remain dis
creditable to our country and a
menace to our further develop
ment and civilization.

IN MEMORIAM.

Lives in which the most womanly
sweetness of nature and gentlencss OF
manner are combined with vigorous un-
Outstanding and decided force are rare.
Yet in the life of Mrs. Wiley G. Rid
dick, who last Sunday was suddenly
transported from the cares of earth to the
realms of her Father and her God, this
attractive blending existed.
The elements that go to form a SYM
metrical character are so mixed and so
elusive that they forbid any precise anal
ysis. But in Mrs. Riddick's character
there were some traits always promi-
nent. Under our social system, women
are seldom good managers But she had
a striking aptitude for business. This
aptness came partly from early training,
for her father. Robert NJ. Jones, was
one of Raleigh's best eqpped business
men, and her mother, Orpha Heath Ivy,
was a woman of much executive power.
During those days of heart-wrenching
anxiety to Southern women-the days of
the Civil War-Mrs. Riddick, while her
husband was serving in the army, man
aged with singular skill their landed es-
tates. She leading two little ones by
the hand, often personally superintended
the work in the field, and supplied not
only the family needs, and the soldier
wants Of her husband but kept the es-
tate in excellent condition.
The domestic instinct was always DOM
inant in Mrs. Riddlck. Her life centered
nher hon. To be of service to her
husband. Use her sons to be inteli-
gent, upr III these were the dear
est endea r to her. To accom-
plish thes i sacrifice was a joy.
AS resu lized in her home the
ideal happ tue true woman-deeply
she loved am ,eply was she beloved.
In the straightforward conscientious
ness of her nature there was no room
for and no liberation of indirection.
Thoroughly uncompromising was her 10y
atty to convictions Of right. No motive
of expediency, no SOCIAL. no so-called po-
litical necessity ever in her eyes justified
or palliated an unworthy word, or deed,
or lire of policy.
But the most marked trait in her char
acter was her unfaltering faith and con-
fidence in the supremacy of God and in
the love of God, and a desire to serve
him. Like all deep natures what she
believed she believed strongly. To her
barrier piercing faith, conceptions of the
All-Father were as real as facts in SEE
ular history Her faith was so implicit
that under all circumstances she main
tanned an unwavering content and repose
that was beautiful. In the change from
the pains and darkness of earth to man
sions eternal where the Lord God giveth
them light" she will live there but a
gloried form of the life lived on earth.

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself

prominent physicians was recently
asked why it was there are so many
''blood purifiers, I" nerve tonics' aSd
medicines for every i'll except one of the
most common and annoying diseases,
viz, piles.
He replied, there are two principal
reasons: First, physicians and people in
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was surgi-
cal operation, and that medicinal prepar-
atoms were simply palliatives and not a
cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
imaginary trouble. A sufferer from piles
is very much aware of the fact and for
this reason the few pile salves and DINA
ments, etc, have been short lived be-
cause the patient very soon discovered
their worthlessness
He continues However. there is a
new pile remedy which, judging from it's
popularity and extent of its sale, will
soon take the place of all other treat
ment for piles. 1t has made thousands of
cures in this obstinate disease and it's
merit, repeatedly tested, has made it
famous among physicians and wherever
introduced. In remedy Is SOlQ by drug
gists everywhere under name of Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t is in convenient, suppository form,
composed of harmless astringents and
healing oils, gives immediate relief in
all forms of piles and a radical cure
without resort to knife and without pain
or interference with daily occupation
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that it contains no cocaine nor
opium and is absolutely safe to use at
any time.
One of the suppositories is applied at
night, is absorbed and the cure is natu-
raj and painless.
1t permanently cures itching. bleeding
or protruding piles and is the only rem
edy except a dangerous surgical operation
that will do So
All druggists sell a complete treat
ment of the suppositories for so cents and
the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall. Mich,
will mail free to any address a little
book on cause and cure of piles which
may be of assistance in chronic cases.

Joints and excited nerves. The blood has

the aches and pains cease.

HEAVY FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
HurryinR Merchandise to the I<Ion-
dixie in Anticipation of an Early
Close of the Yukon.

The fall shipments 10 the Klondike have
probably never been heavier since the
discovery OF the district than this sea-
son. In anticipation of an early close
OF the Yukon, thousands of tons of min
ing machinery, general merchandise and
supplies are shipped from Seattle every
week. There are eleven regular freight
and passenger-carrying craft plying be-
tween Seattle and Lynn canal, and for
more than month no vessel has gone
North that did not have a fun cargo.
Both the Washington e. Alaska and the
Alaska Steamship Companies have been
adding freight carriers to their regular
lines. The former two days ago char
tered the Utopia. and the managers are
casting about for still another.
Besides steamers there are two or three
sailing craft, notably the barge Shirley.
engaged in the Lynn canal carrying
trade. For several months she has ham
died almost exclusively material for the
White Pass e. Yukon.
There is a great deal of speculation as
to the time the Yukon wifi close this
year. The general belief however, Is that
ice will block the way OF river boats
as early as October 20, though the upper
Yukon frequently in the past has frozen
over early in the fall. and a few days
later cleared of ice again, permitting
a short period OF navigation. But pio-
neers OF Alaska say they never saw the
upper Yukon open throughout October
Always at some period of the month q
freeze came.

TO RELEASE WALLA WALLA.
No Liberty for Her Passengers Until
Quarantine Regulations Have
Been Complied With.

The steamer walla walla. which IS in
quarantine at Victoria on account of the
discovery Of smallpox among her San
Francisco steerage passengers. will arrive
in this port tomorrow. She will not, now
ever, have any of her passengers or crew
aboard.
The Victoria and British Columbia au-
thorities yesterday signified their willing
ness to release the vessel and her cargo
as soon as the disinfecting regulations
have been complied with. This will be
done today.
Meanwhile the passengers are detained.
In accordance with the Victoria health
regulations. 1t will be two weeks. ana
possibly longer, before they are liberated
OF the 163 passengers that boarded the
vessel at San Francisco nearly 100 are
bound for this city The list includes
many residents of Seattle, whose deten-
ton is greatly annoying their relatives
and friends. Mrs. Miller. wife OF DR.. p.
b. NJ Miller. of this city, Is among them.
Employees of the local office of the Pa
cinc Coast Steamship Company were kept
busy yesterday answering the questions
of the relatives and friends of the Seattle
passengers aboard the vessel.
An entirely new crew for the Walla
Walla, led by CIV. Miller. assistant SUI
perintendent of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company. left this city for Victoria
on the schooner Victorian last night.
Capt. Jensen is to take command of tho
ship and bring her to this port.
