THE MONTESANO ROAD.

WHY do MT the Aberdeen people quit
"blufing" and get down to business II
they want that road built. If they are
determined to have a road on the north
side of the river the best plan we have
heard suggested is that advanced by
Assessor Archer. Let the city buy a
locomotive and the necessary rails and
cut a road through the bluff, using the
dirt and rock to fill in the streets on the
flats in Aberdeen. The work would
necessarily be extended over perioi OF
several years, but it would give the city
permanent streets instead OF the present
temporary plank roads that must be re-
built every few years, and would also
result in an easy gral lie for the road to
ntesano.-Montesano Vidette.
One woull naturally suppose, now
that prosperity has struck Montesano,
the Vidette would shake the moss off its
back and join the progressive procession.
Rene m ering the time when there was
TO route to the Harbor but the river,
and Montesano doomed through the
transfer from land TO water of all traffic
westward, the poor old Vidette is unable
to adjust it's think box to the new order
OF things.
Not so, however, the progressive citi.
zens of the county seat, who, in favoring
this road; recognize that to facilitate
travel from the populous Harbor region
to their city is sure to prove beneficial to
them. Barring a few mossbacks like
the Vidette, the people OF Montesano are
in favor of the road. 1t will be observed
that our ancient contemporary does not
oppose the roal. Oh no, it simply de-
sires the plan that has worked so we'll
for years. and advocates delay.

William +. Curtis, the Washington

After the morning paper has for
months claimed it had proposition
from Carnegie for library, it appeared
last night, at the city council meeting,
that no proposition had been received at
all. A resolution was pres ented reciting
that cit SEEMED PROBABLE that git of
from $4,000 to $4,000 could be OBJ
tained,' and went on to obligate the
city to expend 10 per cent of the amount
obtained in SUPPORTING AND MAINTAINING
the building FOREVER, and to furnish a
site for the structure. 1t further pro-
vides that al the Obligations in the reso-
luton shall be legally and morally
binding on the city FOREVER. As a
committee was appointed to confer with
the Carnegie people, we await the result
with interest, in the firm belief that it
will be found that all money given by
Carnegie must be put into a building,
and that the city must appropriate ten
per ce-t OF the sum annually for its
support and maintaina zee, ana that the
statement of Mr.. Hogan, that part OF
the sum could be used to purchase
books, is error.

PARKHURST ON FUNSTON.

DR.. Parkhurst, of New York, is report
ed to have assailed "the honor of the
army" in his sermon last Sunday-"thc
honor of the army" being in this instance
the chivalrous Gen. Funston DR.. Park
bursts sermon was Oh Liars" and he
unfolded Funston for exhibition as an
extraordinarily interesting specimen.
Funston disguised himself and his men
in the uniforms worn by Filipinos, said
DR.. Parkhurst, "crept upon Aguinaldo
stealthlly under that guise, tricked him
by forged letter, pretending his men
were hungry, made capital out of the
holy rite OF hospitality, then flung Aguin-
aldo to the ground and made him cap
tive. They violated the laws of war,
the laws OF hospitality, and the laws of
God; and the people of the United
States, in, lead OF mutinying against this
act of damnable lying and perlidy,
thought it shrewd trick on Funston's
part and the senate promoted him"
Those are plain words and true ones.
But why credit the senate with promot-
ing the spy? The senate only confirmed
him.

The tariff Oh the 100000 sto of
art works which J. Pierpont Morgan
owns and desires to bring to this coun.
try amounts to 100000 and Mr..
Morgan is very anxious to obtain re.
bate on these tariff taxes. Commenting
upon this request a Chicago paper says
that on ~ 100000 worth of the neces.
saries OF life the total amount of duty
would be not less than IS 100000 and
might indeed exceed the purchase price
OF the property. And then this Chicago
paper submits the entirely pertinent
questions: lis there any reason why
the sum Of $4,000 900 in duties owned b,
a man worth 500, 100000 should be re
bated while the people are compelled tc
pay much greater sum in duties or
the same value OF the necessities of life
imported in the same ships under the
same tariff laws?"

Governor Cummins of Iowa declares
that lie intends to do whatsoever lies in
his power in introducing into the repub-
lican national platform of 1904 the
thought to which the republicans of Iowa
have already given utterance. The gov
ernor refers to what has come to be
known as the "Iowa Idea," otherwise
the protest contained in the republi, an
state platform against providing in the
tariff shelters for the trusts. The in
diCations are that if Governor Cummins
seriously undertakes to carry out his
program, he will find himself and his
followers in hopeless minority in the
republican national convention. The
governor says that call we insist upon
is that protection shall not be made the
instrument OF unlawful gain; that it
shall not be taken from its high place
and lowered to the st fish plans of illegi-
innate profit" Long ago protection was
made the instrument OF unlawful gain
and the fact that it is the means where
by illegitimate profit is obtained is the
thing that makes it so popular with the
powerful men who provide the lepubli
can party with it's campaign funds.

CARNIVAL CO., HAD
HARD RUN OF LUCK.


The Layton Carnival company
which exhibited at Petersburg, Va,
last week, closed it's shows Saturday
night, and Sunday morning left fol-
Elizabeth City, N. G. The company
lost money there and, it is said, faileo
20 pay a number of persons in that
city, whose services had been engaged
for the week. A. citizen of Newport
News, who held a claim of 800 against
the shows, sued out an attachment and
levied on the property, but the matter
was subsequently satisfactorily ar
ranged.
Saturday evening and Sunday morn
ing some ten or twelve negroes, meI.
and women, who had been employed
by the company, complained that they
had been refused their pay and sought
legal means to secure what was d,t
them. Being unable to furnish fortn
coming bonds, they could not attacl
and levy, and the time was too sher
for civil suit adjustment. The prom
ability is that they will lose thel
money. The serving of attachment
papers caused some excitement at rn
show grounds.
