ed Years Ago
By the Honorable John j. Brownie
Wanted the Citszens to Erect the
Monument Which had been the Sub
jeet Of 50 Much Talk and Nothing
Else.

-
ject Of 50 Much Talk and Nothing
Else.
The following is an extract from
the address of John j. Brown made
on the Fourth of July, 1876 the
Centennial of Monongalia county
published in the Biographical and
Portrait Cyclopedia of Monongalia.
Marion and Taylor counties
"On-the 10th day of January,
1900, and soon after the death OF
General Washington, the county
court of Monongalia county, at the
court house in Morgantown. John
Dent, Dudley Evans, John Fairfax.
Edward Jones and Nathan Springer,
gentlemen justices on the bench
the following order was entered oil
record
"On motion of Benjamin Reeder,
it is ordered that the inhabitants Of
Monongalia county be permitted to
erect a stone monument upon the
public ground in front of the court
house, in honor of the memory OF
our late illustrious fellow citizen,
General George Washington. with
the following inscription In
honor to the memory. of. General
George Washington, who died De
cember IA, 1889, aged 6S, whose vir-
tues are accorded by history, an !
which need only be mentioned to
make them examples to all mankind.
This inscription is directed by a
grateful people Whereupon the
court ordered that Benjamin Reeder,
Jonathan Davis, Henry Dering and
Hugh McNeely be appointed to have
the above work carried int execu-
ton
ION the Fourth of July, 1867, af-
ter the bronzed veterans had return
ed from the late war, the people of
Monongalia county assembled in Oak
Grove Cemetery, and on a bold
beautiful knoll overlooking the
Monongahela river, with solemn
pomp and ceremony, laid the foun-
dation stone of the monument to be
erected to her brave sons who had
fallen in the Civil War. Eloquent
speeches were made, pompous reso-
lutions were passed with entire uni
minity, music arose with its yolup-
tuous swell, the roar of cannon re-
verberated among the adjacent hills,
and the monument, like the one or
dered to be carried into execution
by the county court at the begin
ming of the century was never erect
ed.
Fellow citizens Of Monongalia,
let us wipe out this disgrace.
Our late representative in Con-
gress, Hon. John NJ. Hagans, pro-
cured to be donated by the United
States government to the Soldiers
Monument Association of Mononga-
lila county, number Of cannon to
be used in construction OF the mon
ument. Ere the end of another cen
tennial day, as the traveller stands
upon the deck of a magnificent
steamer blowing the bright waters
of the beautiful Monongahela pass
ing by the silent city of the dead,
he will read inscribed upon the i'm
perishable bronze
"'In memory of Monongalia's
honored sons, who gave their lives
for the preservation and perpetuity
of their country"

NO PLACE FOR POLITICS

The less Of partisan politics that is injected into the affairs of Alaska the better it win be for all concerned The people Of this district cannot possibly aid either of the great national politi- cal parties by lining up and playing partisan politics. While it is entirely proper for the citizens Co attend the party conventions for the selection of delegates to the national conventions, and to use proper vigilance to keep the party organizations in hands that will use them for the iurtherence Of the best interest Of the district iu the case of an emergency, it would be well to keep the organizations In the back ground as much as possible There Is no occa- sion for any one or any set Of people to attempt to build up strong and active party organizations in Alaska. Let Us be first Of all, at an times and under all circumstances, Alaskans, and permit the republican and democratic parties look out for themselves.

The Dawson fair was a huge success. The Daily News oi that city, with its usual enterprise, issued a special edi- ton, containing Illustrated articles de- scriptive of the fair and the possibili- ties of the Yukon country. Excellent halttones Of the agricultural products were published The fair and the edi- ton of the News cannot fail to be worth much to the entire North country. The enterprise of the people of Dawson and the Daily News, deserve much praise.

The Juneau Record-Nliner wants Alaska advertised to the world, and then it proceeds to advertise it by claiming that the people Of the district are not capable of governing them selves, and asks, in effect, that we be managed by the federal government as are the Apaches and other habitues of Indian reservations. The creation Of a territorial government in Alaska would attract attention just the same as the enlargement ot the measure Of self government has attracted the attention of people and capital Co other sections of the country. There has never been a territory or state created in the history Of the United States but that the creation was followed instan,ane- ously by an influx into the territory of population and o, money for invest ment. That history win repeat itself in the case of Alaska is a toregone con- elusion. The organization of terri torial government for Alaska would be the best advertisement that we could have.

The leisure class is the fruitage of
material prosperity. It comprises two
species, namely, the smart set and the
hoboes.
These species differ (genus plus diff
ferentia giving US the scholastic defini-
ton OF species) both accidently and
essentially; accidentally, in that the
smart set always have money to burn !:
essentially, in that hoboes sometimes
have a sense of humor.
The smart set are the successes. the
hoboes the failures, of our civilization.
Our civilization is remarkable in that
it's successes and its failures are
equally good for nothing.
However, we are not money-mad:
merely money drunken; in the morn
ing, doubtless, we shall be sober

some Of these things to which they
were blind BEFORE only q Few months
ago anything that was in process Of
organization was regarded more or
less favorably. Now almost everything
that is organized is under suspicion.
Economic forces are stronger than
statutes. Water eventually finds it's
own level, and if the water in many Of
the big trusts brings them down to a
far lower level than that to which their
promoters aspired, the solution of
what has appeared to be grave
problem may be natural and easy.

CHEAP MEN FOR CITY WORK

The public ownership of the gas
and water plant in this city is proving
so successful that a few people would
enjoy to see something done to retard
it's progress so that the issue for for
municipal ownership among the peo-
pie would not be so great. The City
Council has asked the charter COM
mission to prepare an amendment to
the charter giving the council power
to pass on the salaries Of the employees
Of the department. While this is
no doubt the right principle, yet there
is great danger in having politics enter
the department, and for this reason the
people will not take kindly to such an
amendment.
The purpose Of the proposed amend
ment is to attempt to reduce the
salary of Manager Case. The Water
and Light department has fixed Mr..
Cases salary at $4,000 year. In the
opinion of two or three aldermen this
is an exorbitant salary. The business
men who compose the board of water
commissioners however feel differently
about it. They believe that Mr.. Case
earns much more than his salary for
the people. In fact the board offered
Mr.. Case salary of $4,000 this year.
This Mr.. Case refused, and finally the
present salary was agreed upon. If
the city wants cheap man to manage
its water and light plant it must ex-
pect nothing better than cheap results.
City governments are very reluctant
in recognizing merit among it's SER
wants. Corporations usually pay far
greater salaries than municipalities
for doing similar work. There is a
demand in the world today for brains.
Brains command good salaries, and if
a city does not want to pay for them
are glad to do it. Brains and ability
brings big dividends to corporations,
and that is what the stockholders
want, and they are willing to pay for
1t. Brains and ability have given to
the people of Duluth first class water
system, together with unusually cheap
rates for water and gas. Do the peo-
pie Of Duluth appreciate this, and if
they do are they not willing to pay for
it? .
