lGORR0TES BUILDING
ROADS IN BENQUET

Forty cents in insular currency is the
amount paid per day TO the Igorrotes
who are engaged in building roads in
Benquet, according TO the report of VIII
liam H. Peck, the governor of that pro-
vince, to the War Department Nearly
200 miles of comparatively good road
has been built since the American occu-
patton. and between 200 and go Igor
rotes at 20 cents a day are engaged in
constructing what is known as the Ben
quet wagon road.
IN order TO prevent as much as posi-
bic the spread of cholera, Governor
Peck says, he has issued orders TO pre-
vent the practice among Igorrotes of
gathering about the affected tents and
holding feasts and sacrificing fowls and
animals. and also TO discourage the
travelling of persons from one pueblo TO
another. His requests have been com
piled with generally, and this, he be-
heves, is satisfactory proof of the con-
fdence which the people have In Ameri-
can rule. Governor Peck reports that
Notwithstanding the cholera, new homes
are built, new plantations laid out, and
conditions generally improving.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
1t is 7:50 p. m. Seated in this pres
ence, something born of the place and
the hour sets in motion a train of
thoughts which wakens an instinct de-
handing expression.
The atmosphere is inspiring. and the
more. because, outside. a summer storm
is raging. The downpour is plainly
heard in this echoing room, whose
golden dome responds sweetly to the
pattertng Of the fast-falIing rain
drops. One thinks of children dancing
merrily on the soft-footed grass, of the
voice of many waters, of the wind sigh
ing through pine trees. of the rustling
leaves stirred by the mountain breeze
and one is comforted for many sorrows.

AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
UNWORTHY OF GENTLEMEN

To the Editor of TIL Washington Times:
The eccentric Sidney Smith was once
in a crowd whose members were much
addicted TO swearing. He was called upon
to tell a story. He did so but every now
and then interjected the expression
boots, sugar tongs and finder boxes"
All listened very attentively. Finally
one of the number said: Mr.. Smith your
story is quite interesting, but what has
your boots. sugar tongs and finder
boxes to do with it?'' oh" said the
noted preacher, that's simply my way
of swearing"
Two very important elements in the
character of refined gentleman are the
absence of profanity and vulgarity IN
conversation. But alas! how often is this
forgotten,
Men and even beardless boys indulge i'll
the practice Of profanity to such an ex
tent that one would be led to believe
that they regard it an evidence of smart
ness. In many cases it is doubtless the
result of thoughtless habit without evil
intent at heart 1t occurs to me that
protest ought to be raised against the
practice let it proceed from what source
1t will Swear not at ALL is a sale

WHEN THE HIGH SCHOOL BOY
IS ABOVE AUTHORITY

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
wish TO call attention. through your
newsy paper. to a fact which impressed
me as rather curious. namely:
While Witnessing recently the compet-
tive drill OF the High School Cad It's.
was surprised to see the cadets driven
from the grandstand by police officers, as
though they had no right there, nor
were they permitted 10 enter the grand
stand at any time during the drill
Now, if there ever was day set apart
and devoted to special body it is the
day Of competitive drill. devoted to the
High School Cadets. They are masters
Of it, the hosts of the occasion. With
out them there would be no drill. The
people on the grandstand are there only
by their courtesy; the guests of the
boys
And to see their hosts driven from the
presence Of the guests. seemed strange
sight, indeed, and one not likely to pro-
mote good-feeling on either side. 1t is
TO be hoped that on next competitive
drill day there will be room for the
boys on the grandstand.

TRUE TEMPERANCE.


The decanter with strong intoxicants
which from the earliest history OF our
country was found~ip almost every home

tage or on the sideboari of the mansion.
is practically thing of the past. and IS
a marked step in the direction of True
Temperance. This is mostly attributa-
bic 10 the Introduction OF and the now
universal use Of bottled beers in house
holds.
In the early seventies. the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association began hot
Ting beer under the pasteurizing sy5-
tenn and were the first to bottle beer
for export successfully Always follow
ing their motto in brewing Not how
cheap but how good" and constantly on
the alert to secure the most modern ma
chinery and applying the best methods
for bottling. the venture proved q won
derful success. From d small beginning
their business rapidly increased. so that
during the year 1902 the consumption
OF Budweiser alone reached the fabulous
figure OF SO, $50, 300 bottles and proves
conclusively that this wholesome and re-
freshing beverage has become the ac-
cepted American drink.
Budweiser is the Standard OF Quality,
and the greatest proof of it's worth is
the many limitations both in name and
of label, constantly being
placed on the market by INSCRIPTIONS
competitors.

STUTLER TRAVERSES
PARKER'S CHARGES
OLD NEWSPAPERS FOR
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Librarian Putnam Seeking to Col
lect Complete Files.

The Library of Congress is making
every endeavor TO obtain complete files
of the early newspapers of America
Mr.. Putnam, the librarian of Congress,
considers these early papers of great
value as historical references. Unlike
most old editions. which are collected
merely because they are old prints and
bindings. old newspapers are collected
because of their subject matter The
newspapers. daily and weekly, show to
a large extent the thought and senti-
ment of the day in which they were pub
lished.
Many of these old papers are picked
I'D by agents of the Congressional Lii
brary at book sales such as are held at
Libby's in Boston. Mr. Putnam says
that the Congressional Library, holding
it has fair right to such valuable his
torical data, admits of no competition
in the bidding-it outbids all other coll
lectors, except perhaps a State or city
library which is anxious to obtain copies
of local papers.
For the first time in years. Mr.. Put
nam recently attended a sale at Libby g.
in Boston, where he purchased some
valuable old New Hampshire papers.
There was number Of '-broadsides" of
the days of the Revolution on sale at
the same time, one Of which, a print of
the Declaration of Independence, was
sold for $780, Another was print of
the articles of convention between BouT-
goyne and Gates at Boston, in 1777. But
these broadsides are merely interesting
because they are the original old prints
which were posted at the time of the
events described in them. Copies can
easily be made for a small price. The
Government does not, therefore, offer
large prices for them, and they are
bought for the most part by individual
collectors
Last year the agents of the Library
of Congress picked up a large section
of the Pennsylvania Gazette" at one
time published by Benjamin Franklin.
The Library has now nearly completed
file of this valuable publication.

State naval militia organizations, with
the exception of Massachusetts, for war
ships for training cruises during the

MATTERS FOR INVESTIGATION
IN INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
I have been reading with keen interest
all issues of The Times relating to the
postofice irregularities since your good
paper first charged the postoaice officials
with wrongdoing. and whom you have
finally succeeded in bringing to account
and are compelling TO hew to the line or
walk the plank. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Star" tried to cover up
their tracks by whispering the charges
down the wind by saying that there ex-
listed no tangible evidence at all that
would warrant an investigation. You
have proved to the contrary, and
have done the people-not the Star"
people, however, lasting favor, and
benefit to the country at large. in
showing UP these postofice officials
who thought to themselves they had
cinch which none of the common people
could find the key to.
The next thing to find out now is how
much money per square inch of surface
of floor space the Star people re-
ceived from Machen to make up that
$500 as rental for a portion of that
"whited sepulcher."
Now. inasmuch as you have brought
these men TO book, for which action you
have the thanks of the whole people ir-
respective Of party. l ask you as a citi-
zen and business man, to find out. If you
can, at the Navy Department what Officer
or set of officers designed and superin-
tended the construction of the new bat
tleship Maine. The ship was only in the
water few short months before she had
to be locked again in the Cramps yards
for repairs, and where she now lies un-
dergoing extensive alterations at great
expense.
The Cramps Company built this ship
and they have stated she was built ex-
actIy as the specifications called for,
and under the daily supervision of q
naval officer detailed for that purpose
This being so, and admitted by the de-
partment, hence the Cramps VIII have %
be paid pot of money to make the ship
good for service or come as near to it as
they can. SUBSCRIBER.

WOULD GIVE DEGREE ONLY
TO WOMAN CANDIDATE

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
The members of the senior class Of
the School of Comparative Jurisprudence
and Diplomacy of the Columbian Univer-
sity, who decline to receive their de-
grees unless ow-classmate should
be denied hers, would appear to have
allowed themselves to imbibe some OF
the spirit of those Determinations
against women which have constituted
the chief reproach to the Jurisprudence
of all nations.
These young men say that their lady
elassmate is not we'll grounded in the

liar judgment upon them? By assuming
10 judge OF her legal and scholastic quail
ifcations, as shown by her examinations
and thesis, they place themselves in the
unenviable position of assuming TO be
better judges of these matters than are
their own instructors. And the faculty
can hardly reverse its decision to grant
Mrs. Emma r. Bailey her degree with
out appearing to admit the correctness
of the assumption.
II the accession OF the FACULTY is Just,

necessary, alone.
So far from having any such ungrounG-
ed fear as that their lady classmates
graduation would detract from the Dig
nifty of their class or the institution. it
would be more creditable to the young
men if they found pleasure in graduating
with a lady whose unusual industry and
faithfulness have earned her an honor
able scholastic distinction rarely won
by her sex.
1t is a matter OF regret that the young
men in question have shown so ill-dis-
guised prejudice against that higher
education of women which promises so

the advancement OF society. Respect

My stories shall be sweet and pure,
With just a touch Of fun ard wit
To stir the readers up a bit

You may be proud Of me some day.

Once on a time. twas Christmas morn.
Two little orphans. poor, foriorn.
A hlue-eyed girl and hlack-eyed boy.
She had no doll: he had no toy;
And not soul or this round world.
Cared for that little boy and girl.
They hung their stockings side by side.
On Christmas eve: and how they cried
To find them empty the next morn.
She wished a doh ard ne horn.
They wrung their little hands and wept,
As back into the bed they crept
Now comes the strange part Of my tale:
old Santa Claus had heard tie wall
OF these two orphans and he came
And took the little ones foilora,
And wrapped them W all snug and warm;
Then up the chimney and away
Behind the reindeers. in Q sleigh
They fairly few DER hiil ard dale.
And. as the stars Were growing pale
They reached a castle. white and fair.
