The Presidents Message.

The people OF the United states
having warmly endorsed Theodore
Roosevelt and his administrative
po,icies at the national election last
fall. ought to read his message 10

and satisfaction; for II is thoroughly

his deductions and admonitions con-
corning them are sensible and Just.

indicated that, having endorsed ms
preyious administration. the people
are plainly in favor of continuance
of previous policies. No mention Is
made of the tariff question.
The presidents individuality Is
most strongly apparent in his dis
cussion of foreign policies. He as
sumes, evidently. that this nation
is good, great wise and just enough
to act as special supervisor over the
rest of the world, encouraging right
eous endeavor, righting wrongs ana
putting down injustice and oppres-
sion with firm hand wherever they
appear. To fill this high mission,
which he considers it our privilege
and duty to do. being able anu
worthy, we must at all times be mt
ted with naval and military forces
sufficient to meet any emergency.
The president counsels economy but
evidently does not think retrench-
ment in our means of defence de-
sirable or wise.
The same spirit of wide paternal
duty, the anxiety to bear almost all

shown in his treatment Of the Phil

and mould them to our standards.
Qllr justification in keeping the isl

can do there, and not in the fact
that it is to our financial interest to
hold them.
This is truly great and glorious
mission for any nation to undertake.
But are We as a nation morally
pure, unselfsh and wise enough to
undertake, at great expense, this
piece of worlds work.?
Are we not the same people who.

The case of John Farrar of Water

for embezzlement, is widely COM
mended by the state press as one
deserving of sympathy and encour-
agement. From one point of view
this may well be true. But we
should not forget what the result of
such sympathy may be If We give
it to the neglect of those who al
though not yet criminals, may be-
come such { through adversely and
lack of that same sympathy and en-
couragement. Sympathy and encour-
agement belong to those who are
tempted rather than to those who
have yielded. A man who has COM
mitted crime and who has paid the
legal penalty because he was obliged
to do so. is hardly a subject for pub

are concerned, they should go first

be to be good citizens. who need
assistance as much or more, and
who have respected the laws.

its durability (since the road must be

exceedingly durable, for it shows less

the Warren pavement is in as good
condition as it was the day it was laid

Major Moorhouse has just completed
a series Of the most important histor
ical photographs ever taken in the
west, with the addition of picture
OF the Sheridan block house on the
Grand Ronde reservation,to his collec
tion Of matchless western pictures, says
the East oregonian.
Accompanied by Historian George
H. Hines, the wizard of Oregon story
Major Moorehouse this week visited
the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation,
and secured photographs of "Sheri-
dan Is blockhouse," the last remnant Of
the Indian wars Of 1866, in that part
of Oregon. The house is situated about
10 miles west Of Sheridan, Or, and is in
q good state of preservation. Except
ing the logs resting on the ground, the
building is sound and intact. Mr..
Hines will make an effort TO have it
transferred, entire, to the Lewis and
Clark fair.
This blockhouse was headquarters
for General Phil Sheridan during the
Indian wars and was the scene of great
activity for the forces of the fighting
general.
IT is two-story log house 25x25 in
size, provided with numerous port
holes, commanding every point of the
campass, in order that the occupants of
the fort might ward off an Indian at.

afford the greatest protection to the
occupants, the upper story of the old
fort projects about FIVE or six feet be-

arrangement, the upper story is built

defenders of the fort il so driven into
the 6pper story, might shoot down
through the foor Of tho upper story and
prevent the Indians from approaching
or setting fire 70 the building on the
ground.
Other bloekhouses photographed by
Major Moorehouse are those at Fort
simeoe, Yakima and Chehalis, Wash.

important of all Of them, because of the
association of General sheridan with

WOMAN
HAD TWO
HUSBANDS

New York, Nov. 2s.-At last Mrs,
Clemence c. DodgeMorse knows whose
wife she is. The appellate division of
the supreme court handed down de-
cision making her the wife of Charles
w. Morse, the ice king.
This ends one phase of the most re-
markable case that ever claimed the
attention of New York s courts. Mrs.
Morse has been uncertain whether she
was the wife of Charles W. Morse or
Charles f. Dodge. In that time she has
been declared the wife of Dodge, the
wife of Morse and the wife Of neither.
Worse than ALL 1t appeared at one time
that she was the wife of both.
Mrs. Dodge got a divorce in the
New York courts in 1898 from c. F..
Dodge, who was then - hotel proprie-
tor in Atlanta, Go, Not long afterward
she married Charles W. Morse. She
lived with Morse until about year
ago, when Dodge, who had become
greatly reduced in circumstances, APP
peared on the scene with claim that
Mrs Morse's divorce from him was il.
legal, in that it was obtained without
his knowledge He claimed that he had
never been served with papers. Just
lee Clarke granted decree setting
aside the divorce. This left Mrs, Morse
Illegally married TO Morse She began
an action and had her marriage TO
Morse annulled. This left her the wife
OF Dodge. Mrs, Dodge then started in
20 get real divorce. About that time
evidence was discovered tending TO
prove that Dodge had been served pro-
perly in the divorce suit in 1899. Ae-
tion was then begun to have decree
entered vaeating the decree annuling
the marriage to Morse. This was in
tended TO make Mrs. Dodge again the
wife Of Morse. DEGREES were fDally
obtained, but the first divorce was de-
clared legal and Mrs, Dodge Morse be-
came Mrs. Morse. This did not end the
complication. The ease was carried TO
the appellate division, which sustained

From every part of the United
States and Canada comes letters from
mayors and other high city officials
praising the bitulithic pavement.
The following letter from Salem, New
Jersey, under date Of November 14th,
says:
w. L. Archambeau, Dear Sir: Yours
in relation to the Warren pavements
in this city was duly received. When
1 tell you that we laid our first pave
ment in 1901 and that in 1903 we laid
some sixteen thousand yards more you
will appreciate how thoroughly salts
factory this kind Of pavement is with
us. We have a little brick pavement,
about 10000 square yards of asphalt
block pavement and over four miles of
ordinary macadam in addition to the
Warren pavement, and Of them all the
Warren pavement is the best. We laid
it at first simply with the idea of get
ting macadam pavement that would
hold together Our macadam pavements
were good ones, but they were costing
us lot Of money to keep sprinkled
and in spite of this sprinkling were
raveling seriously. The Warren idea
appealed to us as one that would save
us this sprinkling cost and would give
us macadam road in good order at all
times. After we had it finished and in
use short time we found that we had
stumbled on a very good thing. We had
a pavement that our horsemen gave un-
stinted praise for it's ease on their !
horses, which slipped and fell on the ]
asphalt blocks and brick and travelled |
with apparent comfort and pleasure on
IL. Macadam roads which we built ,
iRst six months previous are now, in
1904, altogether worn out as TO their
surface, while it is in as good condition
rs it was the day it was finished.
Moreover il has not cost us a cent for
epairs in all the time it has been
lown. This is more remarkable since
portion of it is at the intersection of
wo of the busiest streets in the city,
ne of them leading to the freight and
assenger station of the Penna. Rail-
DAD, and the traffic on it being of the
leanest kind-all on a turn, with the
onsequent grind. The streets are cas-
y cleaned with sweeper or with a
and broom, and when the pavement
5 cut to allow sewer or water or gas
ipe connections the repairs are made
y our ordinary labor and are so sue
essfully made thPt they are not mo-
iceable. AS | stated, so satisfied were
70 with this pavement that it is the
olicy of the city to surface all of our
lacadam payements with the Warren
laterial as fast as they wear out. l
