OUR VISITORS.

The successful entertainment of more
than 500 visiting r ed Men and Foresters
this week is no small source Of grat'fica-
ton to Aberdeen, and that the effort will
rebound to the benefit OF the city there
is no doubt.
Among the delegater were representa-
tive men fronall parts OF this state and
Ida O, whowill leave with a knowledge OF
Aberdeen and Grays Harbor that surpris.
ed them, impressed bv the magnitude Of
our industries and activity Of business.
To this is added the good feeling engen-
dered by the cordial inequalities extend

for thecity in the scattered homes of the
visitors. Too much cannot be said IN
praise Of the local committees, whose hard
work and careful management aided so
much in maxim, the affair such CON-
pete success. Taken in all, it is the
best advertisement OF Aberdeen ever
sent abroad.

THEY PROMISED 1T.

Commenting upon Senator Hanna's
statement that industrial depressions
are bound to come sooner or later, the
Boston Globe asks, "Is that to be the
outcome of operation of the trusts? Is
that what the present much Wanted
prosperity OF the country is to end in?'
To which the New York Commercial re-
torts: "Well. did the Globe think that
the trusts had but to assure an everlast'
ing and eternal prosperity? That some
scheme had been devised to keep prices
up forever: that some elixir had been
discovered. a dose OF which would pre-
vent our business history of alternating
good times and bad times from ever re-
peatiny itseli?' That Is exactly what
republican papers have promised the
people. They have insisted that the
republi, party had discovered an
"elixir" and that the people had but to
keep the republican party in power in
order to prevent our "business history
Of alternating good times and bad times
from ever repeating itself"

John d. Rockefeller offers to contribute

other third is contributed by friends Of
that institution. Mr.. Rockefeller says

Providence Journal directs attention to
the fact that this is 80 1-3 cents more
than Mr.. Rocketeller's precise two thirds

AS the time for acting in national poll
tics approaches, it becomes somewhat
more certain that Senator Hanna will be
unable to displace President Roosevelt
as the republican candidate. With
equal or even greater clea'ness it is de.
veloping that the so-called "money
power" is looking to the democra sto
name a candidate whom it can support
in order to beat Roosevelt. Thi. is the
meaning OF the boom for Grover Cleve-

THE JAIL ALAI SCANDAL.

General Wood has departed for the
PHILIPPINES, but the scandal OF the jail
alai gambling establishment in Havana
continues. 1t appears now that its fran.
chise was granted for ten years, and that
the Interpretation given to it by the at
torneys for the propretors was confirmed
by General Wood in the Official Gazette
of May 8, 1902. In Secretary Roots
mind there seems to be no doubt that
this concession was rightly bestowed, be-
cause of the harmlessne of the game
itself and its national character. But as
the game is played in Havana it is
merely means to an end-to enable the
syndicate to make enormous sums out
of the open betting carried on. 1t is as
ii Messrs. Farrell and Garfield should
start a handball court in this city, and
take 10 per cent OF the bets placed
upon the professional players en-
ployed by them. The game may
be "nationa'," but it is by no means so
much as cocktighting. Yet the latter
has been stopped 10th in the Philippine s
and in Cuba. What would have been
thought if General Wood had licensed
bull fighters in Havana, and given them
an exclusive ten years privilege? Yet
the moral sentiment Of the Cubans
would not have been so outraged by
that as it is by the jai alai gaming, which,
thanks to General Wood, the Cuban re-
public will be unable to stop for nine
long years.-New York Evening Post.

MORE LAWFUL METHOD

In his Wall street letter under date OF
April Is, Henry Clews says that in view
of the decision of the Northern Securi-
ties case. "some other more lawful
method will be found to prevent the
suicidal competition between the ra...
roads," He adds that the wisest course
"would be to accept the present deci
SIGN and abandon the appeal and then
meet he emergency in the lest possible
way, especially as the supreme court
an scarcely av. id confirmin. the deci-
sion " BY "more lawful methods" is
probably meant a more ingenious plan
of violating the law than was provided
in the Northern Securities company,
and ",he best possible way" OF "m,et.
ing the emergency" will probably be a
systematic effort ether openly or
covertly to amend the Sherman anti
trust law under the pretense OF making
that law more complete than it now is.
At all events, those who are deeply in
terested in the tru system will see to
it that some plan is devised whereby
suicidal competition" is to be avoi led.

POLITICAL PROPHECY,

action Of the next democratic convention

country:

toriIv organized. The masses WHO
voted its tickets in 1896 and 1900: are
more that content with it, and have no
desire to have it republicanized or re-
organized in the interests OF the trusts.
And the plans with that object in view
are pure wind. tn have no sub
stance There will be no reorganization.
The democratic national convention
will be democratic; it will nominate a
democrat on democratic platform. He
will poll the democratic vote, with Its
natural increase, possibly more, accord
ing to circumstances than existing, and
he may be elected. But with any other
kind of platform or candidate, 1T is hard
to conceive how, with the most efficient
organization imaginable, and any
amount contributed by special interests
concerned, one.third Of the honest demo
Gratis of the country could be brought to
the polls. Such an experiment would
make a wreck only less complete and
contemplate than that OF the shameless
republican side show-the Indianapolis
sham gold democratic" fair OF 1895.
and that is precisely the result the "ro-
organizers" propose to themselves and
are expected by the republican managers
to accomplish.

Senator Quay declares that the tariff
should not be revised during a period of
prosperity and the Philadelphia Record
directs attention to these facts: "In
1894 the republicans said it was terri.
be mistake to touch the tariff becau e
business was so depressed. Ga the other
hand, they changed the tariff in 1890,
when the country was very prosperous,
There is no time when the republicans
think the tariff ought to be reduced and
they think any time is a good one for
raising duties if the people will stand it.
When they talk about the condition If
business they are throwing dust in the
peoples eyes,"

A HINT TO MR., KNOX.

In his testimony before the interstate
commerce commission, Mr.. Baer, who
is president of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railroad company, and also OF the
Philadelphia 4 Reading Coal company
as we'll as the chief executive OF a num-
Der of other companies. said: "The
Philadelphia Coal and Iron company
exists under the statutes of the state of
Pennsylvania. 1t doe. not evade any
laws of the state or OF the United Sta es.
shall be glad to have the question
tested in any form you may select.
There is no violation of any provision Of
the Pennsylvania constitution in our
charter. That question has been de.
cided in various courts. The cor.
pora,ive franchises were granted prior
to tie adoption OF the new consti-
tuition, and the courts have decided that
those charters are inviolable." Attorney
General Knox should accept Mr.. Bae; IS
invi alton. According to Mr. Baer's own
testimony, there is every reason 70 be-
lieve that coal trust exists. 1t might
be well for MI. Knox to test this Ques-
ton bv bringing proceedings und'r the
criminal clause of the Sherman law.

THE HOLPA CASE.

In view OF the fact that the decision of
the superior court in the Holpa case is
to re appealed to the supreme court, his
arrest Tuesday night becomes of doubt
ful wisdom and uncertain value.
That the joint was conducted in a
manner that called for its suppression
there is little doubt, if any. But, if the
law was violated in reopening, it was
under the misapprehension that the
superior court permitted it, and any
prosecution under the law that savors of
persecution works as much injury to the
law itself as does its fragrant violation.
The decision of Judge Irwin in the
matter was 50 far reaching as to cast the
present case in the shade. TIL is,
effect, gives the body authorized by law
to issue licenses full power to revoke the
same at will, without the formality of a
trial to show the revocation to have been
justified. This confers a power upon
city councils and county commissioners
that might. in evil hands, be used very
corruptly; power that the supreme
court will be apt to weigh very carefully
before ratifying.

Test of Airship Model.

Whitewater, Va, Aug S.-The long
awaited test of the model of Prof. >. T.
Langley's $40, 900 flying machine was
made at 9:35 this morning, and only
partially successful. Its performance
was distinct disappointment to the
scientists who were confident that 1t
would sustain itself in the air for fully
five minutes. At an early hour the
model. fully rugged IL feet in length,
carrying an eight horsepower naPtha
engine with two propellers which re-
yoIyed toward each other attached to the
engine about midway between the bow
and the stern, four wings of light reed
frame covered with silk, two forward and
each two aft, 2 by AZ feet, was elevated
from the houseboat to thesuperstructure
and placed in position on the launching
car The track on which the launching
car ran pointed toward the Maryland
shore and at given signal the car was
drawn back about 80 feet, the full length
of the track, and the powerful springs
we're released, propelling the model into
space at velocity of nearly 10 feet per
second. After leaving the track the
model sailed on level for about 100
wards toward the Maryland shore when
a sharp turn to the right and south was
made. Not over 500 yards in this di-
rection was covered before the model
struck the water and Immediately sank.
For fully fifty yards before it finally dis
appeared the model pursued an uneven,
wagering course and when this became
noticeable to the watching scientists
they at once dispatched their tug and
small boats to the rescue. In order to
recover it when it sank, fine wire had
been attached to the model and one end
was retained on the houseboat. BY fol-
lowing this wire, they we're able to raise
the machine with the aid Of graphing
hooks. When brought to the surface
the model presented dilapidated APP
pearance The wings were torn from
the body, the fine steel framework wa:
bent, the engine was out of place and
badly indented. The propellers anc

aboard small boat and taken to the
