GRAVEL ROADS FOR BALLARD.

GRAVEL ROADS FOR BALLARD.
Judge ]. A. Hines could not nave
settled upon better time to have
started the ball rolling for gravel
roads than now. With the roads OF
the entire county now practically i'm
passable and no way on earth to bet
ter them until the weather becomes
more favorable, there should not be
a human in the county with a Thin
BILE full of brains but who will agree
with the Judge that something be-
sides mud and dirt is necessary to
make them passable during such
spells as we have been having for
the past several weeks.
The Yeoman has always been In
favor of gravel roads, but we were
afraid we would be mobbed to spring
the question of bonding the county
for from s250,000 TO y350,000 for
that purpose, but since Judge Hines
has made up his mind to take the
chances OF being mobbed we can
stand it,too, especially as everybody,
from one end of the county to the
other. now see the absolute necessity
of the project. And when it is thor
oughly understood at the beginning
that the tax rate can't be raised a
particle-its at the limit now it
seems to us that people should al
most break their necl<s falling over
each other to get a cnance to vote
for the measure.
At ii now stands, we are spending
about fifteen thousand dollars a year
on our roads, and while OF course
this makes the roads look nice and
dusty too in dry weather. the rains
come and carry the money away eacn
year, leaving the same amount to be
squandered again.
The people can easily vote an in
debtedness of 100000 or more, a
sum ample to grade and gravel one
hundred miles of road, which woulo
put every farm in the county in touch
at all times with every town in the
county and tne outside world too.
This would mean so much to every
acre of land in the county that It
seems needless to call attention to
1t. yet on the other hand, under the
present system. we spend the enor-
nous amount of fifteen thousand
dollars on the roads annually ana
have no roads either.
In bonding the county for a sum
sufficient to grade and gravel the
roads here spoken or the present
rate of % cents on the hundred dol
lars OF taxable property would pay
the interest on the bonded Indebted
ness, and a sinking fund. to finally
pay off the bonds at maturity. could
be easily provided for by a saving
in the general fund.
Since we are so admirably situated,
with nearly or quite three millions
of dollars of taxable property that Is
owned by foreign corporations, we
believe that our people should only
be waiting an opportunity to vote for
the Indebtedness. The subject is well
worth the most careful consideration
of every land owner in Ballard coun-
ty, and we snail do our part to keep
it before them until a vote is taken.
The fact that the money would be
spent among our own people, giving
to many teams and men
in all parts of the county. for our
benefit, should be some inducement
to vote for the measure
Go it judge, you are on the right
track without doubt Ballard
Yeoman.

Statue to Davis.
j. d. n.

An everlasting memorial of JEFF
ferson Davis, the chosen leader of
"The Lost Cause" and the first
and only president of the Confed-
crate States of America, was un-
yelled at Richmond, Va. on Mon
day, as the crowning feature of the
reunion of the Confederate Vete-
rams.
The ceremony was made the oc-
casion for grand military pageant
in which every veteran in gray
who was physically able participat-
ed with an energy which dehed the
years that have gone since he bore
arms for the South.
The drawing aside of the veil
which draped the figure represent
ing the veterans beloved leader and
the first gun of the presidential sa-
lutte which Immediately followed
was the signal for an outburst of
cheering which was swollen to
thunderous applaus by the sons and
daughters of the veterans.
Beautiful sentiment was heard
on every side and the thanks of the
entire South were offered by the
orators of the occasion to the United
Daughters of the Confederacy whose
work it was that made the Jefferson
Davis Monument Association a
success.
The addresses were made by
Governor Swanson, of Virginia;
Mayor Mccarthy, of Richmond,
and General Evans. The unveil-
ing was done by Mrs. J. A. Hayes,
of Colorado Springs, Colo, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Davis, assisted by her
two young sons. The monument
is the combined work of +. V. Val
entine and William c. Nolan, Of
Richmond. The memorial typi-
fled the vindication of Mr.. Davis
and the cause of the Confederacy,
the leading inscription being: "Deo
Vindice" God will vindicate.)
Around the moulding is traced

vored in the future, near or remote,
unless he earns it 10y service and post
ponement of the report until after the
election would be great service.
The evidence already brought out
proves every accusation made by Mr..
Berry during the last campaign. 1t not
only shows vast frauds but criminal
conspiracy to loot the treasury. Evid-
ence yet to be given will add to the
strength and supplement the force Of
that already in. 1t is universally agreed
that the whole truth had been known
before the last election the machine
politicians responsible for the condi-
ton would have been completely eli
minated from the political lite of the
State. If the whole truth is known
before the next election the minority
party candidate will be elected State
Treasurer next fall and the reform
work continued. That is why the ma
chine wants delay.
1t is unfortunate, therefore, that the
work of the commission is being de-
layed. Probably the tardiness is un-
avoidable. The expert accountants
have had an Herculean task to perform
and perfect work requires time and
care. But it is difficult to understand
why there are so many recesses in the
sessions Nothing has been done since
the week before the adjournment of
the Legislature except the eXamina-
tion of one witness at Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, last week and the holding of two
sessions at Harrisburg on Friday and
Saturday. The holding of no sessions
at all this week is ineXnlicable except
upon the hypothesis that delay is the
thing desired.
ONE POINT SETTLED.
The Norfolk witness settled the ques-
ton of collusion between Architect
Huston and Contractor Sanderson, if
there were any doubts on that pcint
before. He testified positively to their
working together not only in dispens-
ing the patronage but in looting the
treasury. There is no occasion for much
further delay, therefore. The report of
the Accountants will no doubt reveal
many facts not thus far referred to by
witnesses and greatly strengthen the
case of the people against the conspira-
tors. But if some of the most vital
evidence is to be reserved for the
courts, that report might be used in
that way. There is already sufficient
evidence to secure indictments and it
is important that proceedings be begun
soon. A few prison sentences would
greatly clarity the political atmosphere.

THE SULTAN OF MOROCCO.
Personality of the Ruler About
Whom So Little is Known.

Whom So Little is Known.
Moulai Abd-el Aziz XIV, present
Sultan of Morocco is probably the
most misunderstood man of the
present time The whole army of
newspaper correspondents, many of
them residents of Tangier. seem to
delight in maligning his powers, pre-
cepts and ideals, and glory in writ
ing long articles depicting his impo-
tence, his foibles and his weak, wav-
ering nature. Little do they under
stand the real man, says j. H. Avery
who has been in personal attendance
upon His Majesty for two years.
Born in 1880, of Circassian, the
favorite slave of the late Mulai Ha-
san. Abd-el Aziz had the good for
tune to be reared under the careful
guardianship OF a loving mother. an
educated lady and a true woman.
Brought up from childhood inside
the palace walls, kept apart from the
others, the boy reached early man
hood without coming into contact
with the many communicating infiu-
ences which so sap and wither the
early life of the present day Moor.
The result of this training is that
instead of being enervated in body
and mind he is bright, intelligent,
active, fond of all branches of sport,
and full of just those traits OF char
acter so beloved bv the athletic Brit
isher.
In person Moulai Abd-el Aziz pos
sess all the qualities expected in a
Moorish ruler. over six feet in

height, broad in proportion, his pres
ence inspires confidence and at the
same time retains the air of author
ity His complexion is rather dark,
with a peculiarly rich olive tint,
which adds great attractiveness to
what is a splendid II not a handsome
face.
To be a Sultan in most peoples
idea is the be-all and end-all of hap
piness; such, however, in this in
stance Is not the case. Hemmed in
by the strictest etiquette, his life is
far from being the glorious bed Of
roses it is supposed to be. Not able
to go outside the palace walls except
on state occasions, or when visiting
the Mosque on Fridays his actions
are greatly restricted, and when the
court business of the day is over he
has to amuse himself alone the best
always at the call of his Ministers,
should they require his advice. 1t
was the continuation Of this hum
drum life that caused the Sultan to
send for an Englishman to relieve
the monotony and brighten his dull
hours.
What could have shown to the
world the sterling qualities the man
possesses better than his action over
the deplorable murder of Mr.. Coop
er? Here Moor had shot one of the
most popular missionaries In Fee
and Moor-like had fed to the
Mosque of Mulai Idress, sanctuary
for all evil-doers. Without hesita-
tion and against the wishes of nearly
the whole Moorish Cabinet, he
caused the murderer to be dragged
into the public square and in the
presence of the populace shot down.
1t was life for life, yes. but a be-
levers life for an unbeliever's did
not seem correct In the eyes Of the
fanatical Fezzes, and II took some
two or three weeks before they for
gave their lord and master for what
to them was an unlawful privilege
and an unwarrantable sacrilege.
The Sultan's daily life is really a
simple one. Usually rising with the
sun, he, after his bath, would be
dressed for the courts, arriving there
at AM. From that time to IL
O'Clock, or half past he would be
busy with affairs of state, or receiv-
ing the many that crave audience
with him on every conceivable pre-
text. Then he strolled through the
grounds to his private rooms, where
he patrook of breakfast. Afterward,
IN an undress costume he would
! perambulate the grounds in company
! with Omar Tazze, the Master of the
Royal Household. Then followed
! the midday meal, and at $50 what
was known as afternoon court would
! take place. That meant the attend
ance of the few Europeans to amuse
him and the private audience of any
people who had arrived in Fee that
he wished to see. Court finished
about 6 o'clock, when the Sultan
would retire to his own quarters for
the night
Such Is the life of the Sultan of
Morocco. life not to be envied by
the free American. Cooped in his
large but oftimes dreary palace, not
knowing just what is going on in the
outside world, he Is unable to repu-
diate the many charges levied
against him. Many of the acts at
tributed to the Sultan he knows
nothing of. Access to him is often
difficult for his subjects, although II
seen personally the applicant car
rely on justice being meted out In
each case.

complications among the nations OF
Europe are causing the greatest anx'
