declaration of war on England by
this country-the two matters are
identical. What oppressed PEG.
pie in the Transvaal are appealing to
England for ald?-Cecil Rhodes and
his followers? The Statesman closes
with the following:
Before Davis enthuses over the Beers
as apostles of freedom, he should stop and
reflect moment on The fact that there
is no other flag, excepting the stars and
slriples, to which an oppressed people
will so quickly turn for freedom as to
that of Great Britain
Viewed through the position now
occupied by this country, under a
trust administration, one can scarcely
keep from splitting his sides with
laughter at the Statesmans fine sar-
casm about oppressed people turn
ing to the stars and stripes almost as
quick as to the cross of ST. George
for protection. But on second
thought that is correct We have
not the slightest doubt that by this
time the Filipino would expect
freedom from England as soon as
from the United States, would ex-
pect the same protection against
Spanish oppression from England as
they are getting from us-and their
pockets picked as quick. We have
not the slightest doubt that the Porto
Ricans would now expect even more
"protection" and less freedom of
trade from us than from England.

THAT MAN DEWEY.

Poor Dewey He was grand
figure on the bridge, standing mid
battle smoke, with shot and shell
whistling round, while he upheld the
glory of his flag. On the admiral's
flagship he was the hero of his coun-
try, but now that he is on land and
lately married, he becomes a shipper
ing old ninny, tied to the apron
strings of an ambitious woman who
wears the breeches, and who married

match might make her the first lady

around and forcing him to accept
something he had once positively de-
clined. Dewey admits everything
when he says.
The demand has become so general
that | felt constrained to give serious
consideration TO the matter, and although
had previously stated that would not
accept a nomination, conditions have SO
changed in the past few months that |
cannot longer, as loyal American citi-
zen, say that | will not obey the will of
the American people If their decision is
that am suitable person for the presi-
dency.
Yes, conditions have changed
he's married. Mrs. Dewey forgot to
tell the admiral what party to belong
to and he doesn't know yet what
political principles to affiliate with.

In the face of the Dewey foolish
ness, Chicago is going to hold a
Dewey celebration. The Windy
City had the show billed and did not
feel that it would be just right to
pull down the hangers simply because
the admiral had seen fit to whisper
his presidential candidacy and spring
little boomlet on an unsuspecting
people. His announcement will soon
spend its force upon the desert air of
political Inconsistency.

that he will be the nominee for pres

NOW Is THE TIME.

After an unusually mild winter an
early spring is with us, and the grass
covered valleys and hill sides, jewel
ed with beautiful flowers, are tokens
from nature that the season for
activity has returned; and as apeople
we are again face to face with the
question of how are we prepared to
meet present requirements. Nature
is bountiful provider, but to the
direction of man and by the works of
his hands only will development
follow. Now, look the proposition
squarely in the face and decide where
the fault, if there be any, is to be
located as to the natural resources of
this county. 1t is threshing old
straw to even allude to them Mineral,
timber, agricultural and stock in
dustries have been repeatedly shown
to be incompatible and of unlimited
value, and exist in spite Of, and not
by reason of, any practicable help
from human hands or ingenuity. The
wealth of an empire and wealth
that is needed NOW is almost as I'M
available for present needs as it was
a hundred years ago, only for want
Of passable wagon roads. In the
mines and by the investment of rail
way capital, nearly two million dol
lars have been expended in the past
twelve months in this county, and to-
day business is paralized and block
ade exists that is almost fatal to all
our commercial interests Taxes are
paid and money expended, and yet
in the face of all this there is hardly
passable road for Loaded teams IN
the county. The past and present
conditions Of roads from the mines
to the railway terminus demonstrate
this without argument. The Signal
makes this statement and criticism in
the interest of every person and class
of persons Under favorable condi-
tons our thoroughfares should be
crowded with teams, and commercial
affairs active, and there can be
no valid excuse for the present de-
plorable condition. The fact that
the railroad will soon advance is no
excuse. The roads are needed anyway
and always will be- This county and
all the business communities between
Weiser and Salmon river are losers
to the extent of thousands of dollars
this season by the lack of energy and
foresight that would have presented
the present condition of affairs. 1t
Is not yet too late-thOusands of tons
of ore are ready for shipments.
This means distribution of large
amount of money through many
hands, and in the interests of all the
Signal asks that proper and immediate
steps be taken by the proper author
tiles to place our common thorough
fares in such conditions that the
public, private and all commercial
interests of this great county be no
longer paralyzed in such an unrea-
sonable manner.
