FRIDAY, JULY 81. 1908.

As has been so oft repeated, the
crying need Of this county is good
roads. Idaho county has been
cursed for years with bad roads
and in spite Of the large amount OF
money spent on them each year
they are improved but little, ifany.
Either the money apportioned to
the road fund is wasted or mis-ap-
piled; we believe the latter. Nat
urally the roads in the mountains
and on the rivers are hard to keep
in shape and consequently are
most expensive but on the prairie,
where they are used constantly
and are most important, it
would take but a nominal sum
properly applied to put them in
good shape and keep them that
way. In the first place, the county
should furnish a big road grader
to about every two or three road
districts. Secondly, see that the
road supervisors understand their
work and make them do it. What
if the road graders are expensive2
In two years time all the roads
will be put into good shape and
the expense Of keeping them &c
would be less each year. Further
more, when a machine has been
used to grade up the roads in two
OF three districts it is so we'll used
up as to be only fit for little use
in keeping the roads shaped up
each year. The county should not
hesitate because Of little extra
expense. If we are ever to have
good roads we must have good
machinery with which to work
them. The above system has been
successfully tried in other counties
Why not here?

VETERANS SUICIDE.
WIN. MoRoAN's DEATH RESULTS
FROM RETALIATION OF GAS.
Coroner Gives Certificate and the Au-
thorities Cd. Soldiers Home
Were Notified.

The body OF William Morgan, a veteran
of the civil war, was found about 10 o'clock
this morning in his room at the Hotel
Meehan corner Of I'd and B streets north
west. The police were notified and the body
was taken to the morgue. Death had re-
suited from inhaIing Illuminating gas. On
two other occasions Morgan had turned on
the gas in the same way, evidently for the
same purpose. but each time the purpose
was frustrated.
Morgan was a. pensioner and had lived in
the street hotel for nearly six years. He
received $50 month. Papers found In his
room show that he was born in La Crosse,
Wis. sdxty-two years ago and served three
hve-year enlistments in the army; Ten
years were spent in Company D. 9Th In
fantry, at Fort D. A. Russell in Wyoming,
and five as member Of Company K, 21st
Infantry. He received a discharge, giving
1894. Shortly after his discharge he en-
tered the Soldiers Home here and remained
until 1897, when he took his discharge and
came to the city to live in hotel The PEN
sion granted him was for some trouble In
his neck which rendered him unable to per-
form hard work. At times he suffered in
tense pain and it was probably his physi-
cal pain and the lack of home associa tons
| that caused him to seek death. Yesterday
life -,
II L only had some relatives or near
friends to visit" he said, 1T would be
different
He told man in the hotel that his only
relative living was a brother, but he had
not heard from him in about seventeen
years. When last heard from his brother
was living in Wisconsin.
Morgan had taken several drinks yester-
day. but was not intoxicated. He was last
seen alive about 10 o'clock last night, and
at that time he seemed to be In good spir-
it's. When he failed to appear on the lower
floor Of the hotel this morning his absence
caused no alarm, but the odor Of gas was
detected finally and his room was visited
His body was found on the bed. He had
on his clothing with the exception of his
coat. There was no writing found In the
room which would throw any light on the
motive for the suicide. Morgan had written
in a small note book his army record, and
had made an entry showing the length Of
time he had been in the Soldiers Home
Below this record he had written:
when l die l want to be buried at Sol
diers' Home"
This was evidently written several years
ago. Coroner hewitt viewed the body at
the hotel and directed its removal to the
morgue. He gave certificate showing the
cause Of death and the Soldiers Home au-
thorfties were notified Morgan was
sharpshooter distinguished himself for
bravery during some of the exciting battles
In the Indian campaigns In the west. An
effort will be made by the police to locate
the brother of the dead man.

Robert E. Lee.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t was to be expected that the mere sug-
xestion of placing a statue of Robert E..
Lee in the Hall of Fame would stir up ami
mostly in certain quarter, but one
would have supposed that SO much rancor
still existed in the breast of any one as that
shown by the action of the Women's Coun-
Gil, the Potomac Camp of the G. A. r. and
Mr.. Hugh Miller Thompson. No man, liv-
ing or dead. could truthfully accuse General
Lee Of being other than a pure, gentle,
Christian man, and l would remind Mr..
THOMPSON that even the northern historians
pay that just tribute to his character. 1t
i'll becomes any man to accuse him of ulte-
rior motives in casting In his fortunes with
those whom he believed to be in the right.
Impartial Judges have named Robert E.
Lee as zone of the greatest of modern COM
ma nders" and the immortal Grant showed
by his magnanimity his appreciation of Lee
as a soldier and a man. 1t is not for the
men who fought under Grant to accuse this
noble man of treason or for Mr.. Thompson
to cast aspersions upon one whose critics
can only say political friends and foes
alike acknowledge the disinterestedness and
purity of his motives, his self-denying sense
Of duty and the unrepining loyalty with
which he accepted the ruin of his party"
Virginia is proud of her wealth Of Illus
triotls sons, but Of them all would name
George Washington and Robert e. Lee to
renresent her In the Hall Of Fame. They
were both rebels but each stood for that
which his innermest soul told him was
right and no man dare question the motives
of one against the iother. Washington was
victorious and weyall glory in his memory
as a patriot, and statesman. Lee was de-
feated. and we fef the southland believe
that it is better SO, but while exulting over
the greatness of our common country we
can never forget the example set us by him
who sacrificed, everything for what his con-
science told him was right.
If the statues in the Hall Of Fame stand
for anything, are they not to teach us and
following generations to follow in the foot
steps of those whose effigies are there ex-
hibited. Could any man adopt higher
ideal than that OF Robert E. Lee, the
Christian. the man OF high character. the
none more worthy of emulation. Then let
this petty bitterness be silenced. 1t only
belitties the men and women who instigated
and tends to stir, up a feeling which has
long since been forgotten by the brave men
who fought against the noble Lee

us have peace. VIRGINIAN.

An Adequate Bill Impossible.


Mr.. Littlefield closed the debate for the
majority. In opening he stated that no one
seriously believed, with the existing con-
stitutional limitations. that bill could be
prepared that would fully and adequately
meet the situation. But he believed the
committee had presented flair, reasonable
and constitutional measure" and that as
such he hoped 1t would address itself to the
members of the House.
Mr.. Littlefield created considerable amuse-
ment by reading most extravagant denun-
citation Of combinations and then announc-
ing that the extract was not from the
speech of any gentleman on the other side.
but from a speech of Sir John Culpeper de-
livered In the English parliament 262 years
ago. They had 'em them said he, Just
as we had 'em now. daughtero l call
no protective tariff in those days"
He traced the history of combinations
back to 230O 3. c. to show, he said. that
combinations had always existed and that
there had been an outcry against them. 1t
showed, further, he said how old and how
difficult the problem before Congress was.
Speaking of the bill Mr.. Littlefield said 1t
was not contended that the publicity feature
was a specific or cure all for monopoly, but
only that 1t was step in the right direc-
ton, helpful to the public In the three con-
nectionS where corporations touched the
people-namely as investors, creditors and
consumers. In reply to question Mr..
Littlefield said he did not believe Congress
should penalize decentralization. To do
so, he said, would produce a panic. But
publicity. he insisted. would acQuaint the
people with the facts and the evils of over
capitalize ton would gradually be corrected.
Toward the close of his speech Mr.. Little
field was frequently interrupted with uues-
lions. When he concluded the general de-
bate was formally declared closed and at
5:45 p. m. the House adjourned.

Burning Chimneys Lightly Regarded

II gee that your fire department is both
cred by false alarms of fire. and by the
burning out of sooty chimneys." said Robt.
T. Calisher of Kalamazoo, Mich. to a Star
man at the Arlington today. do you know
what would happen out west If the people
pulled fire alarm box every time a soft
coal chimney burned out? There would be
a flow of language calculated to reduce the
temperature on the coolest winter night
you ever experienced. Out there they pay
as little attention to burning chimney as
you people In Washington do to one Of
Uncle Sans newly made army officers
dressed up for parade on Pennsylvania
avenue.
Out in the western country when the
SCOT in the chimney takes a notion to give
correct imitation OF a volcano working
overtime the woman Of the house gives a
sigh of relief, with a feeling that In the
future the chimney is going to draw better
If the chimney gets to burning too fiercely
she simply throws handful of salt in the
stove and the flames are instantly extin-
guished.''
