I WANT NATIONAL HIGHWAY BUILT
St. Louis Advocates Reconstruction of
Famous Road by the Government.

The National Good Roads Associa-
tione with headquarters in St. Louis,
has sent out the following appeal to
motorists:
The National Good Roads Associa-
ton is powerful force for good, and
its work is accomplishing results in all
parts Of the United States. 1t is en-
gagged in many things that will benefit
the people. One of the great schemes
it has in mind and which it has set
about to accomplish, is the repair and
rebuilding Of the great national road
across Maryland, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana,
THAT memorable road was intended
to be one Of the highways between the
East and the West, before railroads
were known. 1t was built at great ex-
pense, costing the Federal Government
over seven million dollars, and during
the early days was a famous highway
over which thousands travelled every
week. When railroads came into exis-
tence the national road was neglected,
and to-day it is only skeleton of what
it once was.
1T is proposed to rebuild it, and the
National Good Roads Association has
undertaken to have it done by the gov
eminent. The length of the road is
about 700 miles, and it can be rebuilt
for less than seven million dollars ST.
000,000). That is about the cost of one
good battleship, and we are building lots
Of them. The appropriation of that
sum to make this old road across five
States would do as much good as the
average battleship, for not one such
ship in ten will ever get in a fight
Then, when the old road has been put
in good shape to the Mississippi River,
it may be that the price of about three
other battleships will be set aside to
build the road to the Pacific coast.
Zone first-class continuous highway
across the continent would be a great
thing. Many traveller would spend
two or three months going and coming
by team, bicycle, automobile, or other
wise. 1t would be easy for the nation
to do thing like this.
I'm 1905 one hundred and fifty thou
sand Americans visited Europe, and for
the privilege of going over the first
class European roads paid over $780,
O09, 000."

The snow is getting quite deep now,
but still the children go to school.
Parents of the district have surely
shown their interest in the school this
winter. Some have even harnessed the
horse and carried the children to school
every stormy day.
Mr.. Samuel Bowman and wife were
callers at Mr.. George Brant's Sunday

Some sleighs have been travelling this

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Will you please find room in your
paper for the following:
There is certain courtesy that should
be shown by one minister toward anoth-
er. But then there are some who think
nobody is right but they-all others are
sinners and heathens and therefore can
override all rules of civility.
Not long since certain minister went
into the church and pulpit of neighbor-
ing minister of another denomination
and started up protracted service and
invited another brother of his own faith
to come and assist him, the pastor of
said church being entirely ignored, not
knowing a word about it.
IF it is ignorance on the part of the
offending brother, he is certainly
to be pitied; if he knows better,
it is simply piece of brazen effrontery
Even if he had permission from the off
GERS of the congregation, that would not
excuse him. No other minister has a
right in that pulpit, especially to hold
protracted services, without consent of
the pastor.
Even a minister of the same denomi-
nation would make himself liable to ar
rest for trespass by going into his pull
pit for similar purpose without the
pastors consent.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
o. Investigating Committee and
Its Probable Result.

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, March
20, 1906 1t is not unlikely that talk
now heard here Of selling the State
interest in the Washington Branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at a
fair price" or at a price definite, is
nothing more nor less than a feeler
thrown out to discover the public senti-
ment on the matter. Perhaps there is
a desire to know if the people don t
think this investigation uncertain in
still more positive cost; or perhaps and
probably all the rumors of selling at
this, that or the other price, confusing
ly alleged to have eminated from all
kinds of sources, has been the indirect
offer of the Baltimore and Ohio railway
. itself to buy and so close up the wound
opened by the probe, expressed unoffic-
tally by mouths of members of the COM
mittee. But there must be a reason for
the B. & O.'s coming forward with a
flag of truce. For time after the in
vestigation opened it unquestionably
f1oundered or CROPPED for light; as a COM
mittee it is possibly still in the dark, or
cold as it used to be said in the
children's game. Now some of the
of the members of the committee think
the B. & o. is beginning to realize that
individuals or subcommittee are be-
ginning to get warm" if not actually
hot" or "boiling hot. There has
been every indication since the lid was
first taken off from this whole matter
that "there is something rotten in the
State of Denmark" but the odor has
been elusive and hard to follow to the
actual rottenness itself. 1t may not be
too much to say that the committee
or units on it are beginning to locate the
trouble. According to the belief Of
these gentlemen the rotten spots are
scattered here and there throughout the
rotten zone, which is the city of Wash
ington. They do not believe the com
mittee as whole is anywhere near the
trouble, in shifting around Baltimore
and the Baltimore office of the B. & O.,
and the B. & 0. books, which that cor
pu'ation would hardly falsify, for its
own sake.

TIL view to profting by their finest

The gist of his view of the

Fania alone to do any thing to-
but that if the Pennsylvania

and the B. go. could get together on a
terminal proposition, something might
be done, and done with his hearty sup
port. It was not long after this time
that the Pennsylvania acquired or fin
ished the acquisition Of 4Oper cent. Of
the 3. & o. s stock, and that Mr.. Loree,
third vice president Of the Pennsylvania,
was chosen president of the Baltimore
and Ohio. 1t was not long after this,
that all opposition to the plans for a
more beautiful Washington vanished,
suddenly, and that in its place grew up
a powerful ally to the scheme, which
helped and fostered in every, way posi-
bic, even to the extent of inducing Con-
gress to appropriate 81, 500, GOO to REIN
burse the Washington Branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the
right of way and other property which
it owned in Washington.
Now here is some of the spots, IN the
presumed rotten zone, which may upon
investigation turn out to be exceeding
ly sore indeed;
Passing over what disposition the B. &
0. will make of the 81, 500, 600, which it
got appropriated, solely on the basis of
Washington Branch relinquishings, is a
matter of some several million dollars
worth of purchases for the new facili-
ties, all made it is understood by the
most prominent real estate firm in
Washington, which is alleged to be Of
ficered or controlled, or perhaps only
closely allied with the Union Trust and
Storage Company. The Union Trust
and Storage Company, to digress from
the main stem for mOmont, is large
concern which bought land and built
big warehouse, at cost of something
like $3.50, 600, at or near the junction of
K Street and the Metropolitan Branch,
by singular coincidence almost the
only spot in that region which will be
and is being immensely inhanced in
value by the building operations, but
which is hardly effected at all in det-
rimental way by it, there is no heavy
filling Immediately around it, as there is
a little distance on one side, and no
equally deep cutting Immediately ada
cent, as there is not far off on the other
side. In other words, in all that dis
trict where street levels are being rails
ed and lowered as much as forty feet in
some places to carry tracks in on an
upper or lower level, with heavy cost
and inconvenience on abutting property
holders, the warehouse of the Union
Trust and Storage company seems to
have been built on a spot selected, al
most at divine inspiration-unle of
course its officers should have had full
fore-knowlecge of the improvement
plans, as they would have had for ex-
ample, if the Union Trust and Storage
Company is a subsidiary or holding COM
pany of the railway corporation. In
other words, there are circumstances in
this case which would at least suggest
the possibility of some millions of dol
lars worth of property purchases having
been made, with the Inatural-to-suppose
customary commissions, by the already
referred to real estate company which
seems to be controlled or affiliated with

Mr. Scoville's bill of fare is far more satisfactory and his responsibility fur greater than that of the gentleman. who is now working 50 hard at Washing ton to undo the result all of the work he has done in former years toward securing statehood for Ari- zona.
 Then there was one from Mir. A. l.. Peck, proprietor of the Nogales Livery Stable. Mr. Peck is a pioneer in this region, and one of the most substantial citizens and taxpayers of the line city. His responsibility can be questioned by no one.
 Then there is Mir. J. M. sum- mey, proprietor of the Elite Barber Shop. Mr. Summey is thorough going, reliable citizen--a taxpayer. He is man who gives value re- ceived always, and fulfills his obli- gations. Where will Mr. Smith find anyone who does any better?
 The last on the list was Mr c. T. Jones, the well known caterer and restaurateur, conducting the Montezuma dining room. Mir. Jones is also like Mr. Smith, with the difference that he feeds people with substantial grub instead of hot air.
 Now had there been made any effort instead of fifteen telegrams to Speaker Cannon there could have been sent fifty or sixty from Nogales urging enactment of the Hamilton bill But those sent are sufficient to show Congress the falsity Of MT. smiths as- seftion as to the responsibility Of those advocating jointure, and that there is division of senti- ment in Arizona upon the issue of iointure. And a potent and con- yincing array of similar telegrams were sent from Tucson, Wilcox, kingman, Phoenix and other points in Arizona.

IRREsPoHslBLES !"

Sometime last week the Citizen published a letter from Mark Smith to resident of "the old pueblo" in which the doughty de. legate depicted the colossal strug- glen he is making at Washington ito save Arizona from the calami- ty" of erection into a sovereign state with boundaries widely en- larged and taxable property doubled; and in the course of the self Iaudatory screed the gentle man asserted that his "great work" has been made all the harder by letters and telegrams sent congress men and senators by 'irresponsi- ble parties in Arizona"
 Last week THE OASIS presented 10 it's readers copies of fifteen tele- grams sent Speaker Cannon, urging enactment of the Hamilton bill sent individually by as many prominent business men in Noga- les. To show Mir. Smith how irre- sponsible are the authors of those telegrams TIE OASIS now takes the liberty of presenting a terse and accurate commentary upon a num- ber of them.
 At the head of the list is Mr. E. Titcomb, president of the Arizona X Sonora Manufacturing company, which has successfully established in Nogales large machine shop and foundry, supplying engines, hoists, stamp mills and smelting furnaces to mining enterprises all over southern Arizona and the Pacific states of Mexico, giving permanent and profitable employ ment to near one hundred skilled artisans, and supporting in com fort as many families: Besides that great work Mr. Titcomb has developed the electric light and ice plant serving the line city with lights and ice, and is manager of the great commercial house of Roy X Titcomb (Inc) successfully and pro6tably conducting four estab- lishments Cat Douglas and Nogales in Arizona, and at Hermosillo and Guaymas, in Sonora). Does MT. Smith include Mr. Titcomb in his category Of irresponsible men at home?n
 Next is Mr. l.. Ephraim, pre- sident of the Nogales Water com pany, a gentleman with large in- terests, who has been successful business man at Nogales during quarter of century past, and who developed at Promontorio one of

giving employment through year* to hundreds oi men and giving good suppors to their families. Surely Mr. Smith aid not mean io include Mir. Ephraim in his cate- gory of Irresponsible men,"
 Then there is Mir. k. D. George, secretary oi the Nogales Building < Loan Association. which has built more than a half hundred homes in Nogales, and covered with their own rooyes as many families, without which beneficient organi- zation they would be tenants of others; and from its very incep- tion Mir. George has been the main spring of the organization. Sure ly Mir. Smith does not include Mr. George among his irresponsible men at home" And Mir. George is the owner also Of large chick en ranch, we'll arranged and finely appointed, immediately adjacent to Nogales. During the year 1905 MT. George sold, right in Nogales,  more than fifty thousand eggs. That crop of hen fruit was of more value to Arizona than all of MT Smiths thirteen years in congress. What has MT. Smith done for Ari Y zona in all those years2 Nothing! Positively, nothing!l But MT, Georges eggs feed hungry people.
 Next was Mir. Con O'Keefe, long identified with the mining industry in Arizona and Sonora, who is the owner of valuable improved real estate in the line city, and is at present treasurer of Santa Cruz county. Did Mir. Smith mean Mr.. O'Keefe when he wrote about ire sponsible men,"
 Again, among those telegrams was one from Mr. I. Burgoon, a supervisor of Sahta Cruz county, and prominent clothing mer- chant doing business in the line city, holding also valuable proper ty interests. Repeatedly have the people of Nogales and Santa Cruz county elected Mr. Burgoon to public office; and he always leads his ticket. Does Mr. Smith in clude Mir. Burgoon among the irresponsible men at home?"
 Then there was George w. At kinson of Calabasas, one the heay- fest taxpayers of Santa Cruz coun- ty, known all over Arizona as a raiser and dealer in cat tie. In his telegram Mir. Atkinson put 1t right back upon Mr. smith, and gave Congress q hint of the real responsibility of Arizona's misrepresentative in that august body.
 Then there was telegram from Dr. Ray Ferguson, a prominent medical practitioner, who has the confidence of all the people-a gentleman of prove ability and the highest standing. Surely Mr. Smith would not consider Doctor
