Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1902-12-22

On one interesting and current topic
President Roosevelt's message is strange
ly Silent. The ship subsidy bill passed
the senate at the last session. A news
paper dispatch recently announced that
Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, had
gone to Wash 'ngton at an early day in
order to begin the work OF pushing this
measure in the house. If this measure
is as represented by Mr.. Hanna and it's
ether supporters, then it is good thing
and the people should have it. If the
measure is as represented by the demo-
Gratis then it deserves ignominious defeat.
In either event it is a very important
proposition and was entitled to consid.
Grafton in the presidents message. But
not one word relating to the ship subsidy
bin will be found in Mr.. Roosevelt's re.
cent address to congress. Is it not fair
to conclude that Mr.. Roosevelt's failure
TO say something on the ship subsidy
bill indicates willingness on his part
to help this bill become law?
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1902-12-22

A bill is now before congress asking
that homestead law be framed for
Alaska. There is a wealth of timber in
the land of the midnight sum-" which
must eventually come into market.
Around Ketchikan local parties are now
having private surveys made, embracing
timber belts, and it is expected the gov
eminent lines will conform to these
private surveys, thus affording the loca.
tor squatter rights. through priority of
residence. The government in framing
public land laws for Alaska should be
guided BY past experiences and classify
carefully the lands subject to entry,
whether mineral, agricultural or timber
an character, and remove at once the I'm.
certainty wbice now surrounds many
entries under the present laws.

The Sioux City Journal, republican
paper, says: "There seems to be moth
ing startling in the suggestion that J.
Pierpont Morgan has undertaken to
bring order out OF financial chaos in
Venezuela. If the European powers can
not get the guarantee of Uncle sam it is
not unlikely that they would look upon
%. X. Morgan as something almost
equally good" Perhaps the republican
editor finds nothing startling in the sug.
gestion that the so. X" of one individual
is something almost equally good" as
the guarantee OF the great United States
government; but there are many
thoughtful men who, If they be not
startled by this suggestion, will at least
recognize in it very bad sign.

STREET SIGNS.

At the council meeting Saturday night
the city attorney told the councilmen-
what they should have known-that to
remove signs required general ordl-
nance. and was directed to prepare such
d paper, to include Heron street only.
1t may be wise to have even this ordi-
nance well considered.
Aberdeen is having nice growth, and
it is the duty of the council to guard its
interests at every point, but. in advanc.
ing its interests. to keep pace with its
growth, serious errors have been made
in the past. Among those, may be
noted, in all good spirit, with the full
knowledge that they did their best-and,
nnder the circumstances. it was very
we'll, that the numbering of this city
must be done all over again, owing to
the taking of a crooked river as a dividing
line. Let's make no more mistakes Of
this kiud than can be avoided
In this "sign" business there is need
for movement. In some places there
are signs and awnings that are scarcely
six feet from the sidewalk; others are
from ten to twenty feet. To put them
on level is so clearly error that the at
tempt will defeat itself. Pass an ordi-
nance, general throughout the city,
making it illegal to place an awning or
Sign less than reasonable height from
the sidewalks, and the pedestrian will be
protected, and the business man will not
feel that he is an espe ial object Of pun
ishment at the hands OF the council.

Vevezula.

The differences between Venezuela and
Great Britain and Germany should be
submitted to arbitration. Upon that
plan the United States could well afford
to insist. If an appeal to force Is persis-
ted in the result must be an abandonment
OF the Monroe doctrine, in the event that
the British-German alliance is resisted
and DESTROYS the present Venezuelan
government. Whatever may be the
merits of the B-itish-German claims
they may be well submitted TO arbitra.
t ion, and these two great powers would
have nothing to lose by cheerfully con-
senting to that civilized plan of settling
difficulties. During the last Venezuelan
incident MIR. Olney, than secretary of
state. took the position that because Of
the disparity in the strength OF Great
Britain and that OF Nenezuels. arbitra-
ton was the proper course. Now that
strength OF Germany is added to that of
Great Britain the disparity is the more
marked and the necessity for arbitration
therefore more pressing.
While it is contended that the Monroe
doctrine is not involved in the situation
just now, it is evident that the
policy OF the British. German alliance
will, il pursued, make it necessary that
that doctrine be ignored. 1t will be
difficult, after once consenting to an ap-
peal to a policy of force. to say just
where halt shall be called in the pro-
ceedings. 1t is to be hoped that in the
interests of all concerned the several
powers will yield to the arbitration
method.-The Commoner.
