PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
Alexander Oswald Crossed the Greai
Divide TueSd NOrnind.


Alexander Oswald. an old settler of
Chehalis county. and one OF the most
respected citizens of Aberdeen, died after
short illness at his home, 412 East
First street. Tuesday at 5 a. M, from
the results OF An attack of typhoid, his
aga being 60 years, had he lived until
next May.
1t was supposed that he was in his
usual good health, and the news Of his
sudden death came as a shock to his
friends, very few knowing that he was
sick.
Mr.. Oswald was Scotchman by birth,
being born in that country May, 1847,
but moved to Canada when he was 20
years OF aye, where he remained until
1879, when re moved to Nebraska. From
Nebraska he came to Washington, and
settled at Wynooche, this coun,y, %
years ago, where he engaged in farming.
From there he moved to this city, six
years ago, still retaining his interests in
Wynooche, and built his home on First
street. where he died. His other proper.
ty interests in this city were large, con-
sisting Of much improved property.
On MaIcn Is. 1870. he married Miss
Jaue Gibson, at kinmount, Ont, who
survives him, two daughters. Mrs. G. W.
Brewer, of Cosmopols, and Mrs. Lyman
-. Beedon, OF this city, being the issue Of
the marriage.
His religious convictions led him to
take an active part in the work OF the
Presbyterian denomination, he being a
dc aeon and trustee in the local church.
He was one Of the prime movers in the
erection of the present church building,
and at the time OF his death was one of
those planning to enlarge it. He be-
lieved in a progressive Aberdeen from
all standpoints.
His wife, two daughters, several grand.
children and a brother, Thomas Oswald,
Of Wynooche. survive him, who deeply
mourn the loss to them of an adviser
and fIiend.
The funeral will be held under the d.
rec,ion Of Undertaken Wood, at the
Presbyterian church tomorrow morn.

training schools. Until few years
ago. it was deemed the duty of pub
lie schools only to train boys so
that they could take an ordinary
clerkship after graduation and as a
consequence the pressure for just
that kind of jobs that go with a
white shirt sleeve even though also
accompanied by low wages, was
something frightful and in the large
cities Is unabated. But now IN some
of the larger towns, 1t is deemed wise
to fit boys for other occupations. If
a boy has trend toward being a
carpenter, or machinist, or printer,
or any trade, he is put under COM
etent instructors and when he leaves
school he is ready to take a job as a
master workman at good wages. In
the west, these manual training
schools are too few as yet. but the
day is coming when every public
school will have workshop. Lima

when his motion was put before the
house there were twelve other men
who supported it, showing that sew
enty-nine out of the ninety-two who
voted against the inrease in salary
really lied when they voted against
the bill.
There is still some doubt whether
the steal, for it amounts to Moth
ing more, will be permitted to 90
through. The senate must act on
the bill and it must receive the sig
nature of the president. The senate
may dodge the issue just as the
house did and pass it without a
roll call, but when the bill is pre-
scented to the president. the supreme
test will come. If Roosevelt main
tains the same line which he has
pursued during his administration
he will refuse to sign.
1t may he that $4,000 is not
enough remuneration for the work
which is done by each congressman
at Washington, but there has as
yet been no trouble experienced in
getting men to fill the position aud
there is not q doubt but that should
the present house be dissolved,
enough men could be found willing
to accept the places at that salary
and men who are just as capable
of filling the places If congressman
wish to increase the pay of the
Legislators let them go about
it like gentlemen. Let them
inrease the pay. but make it Of
fecting at date after the time
of every congressman has expired,
or if they want to make il effec-
tive during the present te,m of con-
gresS. let them go upon record. so
that the public will know who vot-
ell for and who voted against the
bill.

The work of rebuilding San Fran
cisco is far different from that
which accomplished the rebuilding
of Baltimore after the big fire, and
the difference is due to the civic
pride and Righteousness of the one

San Francisco where quarreling has
been so noticeable, retarding the
work and postponing the day when
the city might rejoice in the ac-
complishment of what 1t set out to
do so resolutely and with SO much
courage in the face of discourage
ment and almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles. At first there was hope
that San Francisco would profit by
the show of pride, but so much in

UPTON SINCLAIR JUST HALF
RIGHT.

When Upton Sinclair remarked that
the greatest American Socialist Is
F.. n. Hartman he was correct be-
yond peradventure, in the sense that
Hartman IS doing more than any
other one man o. set of men to
further the Socialist cause. Actions
always speak louder than words; and
the Indirect and unintendcd consc-
quonccs Of any act may not be less
momentous in the long run than
those produced by design. Mr..
Iliarriman, Of course, would deny
the impeachment which would
show hardly more than that he does
net sec himself % others see him,
Monopoly Is making Socialists. and
Hartman, II not The greatest single
monopollsC, Is just now monopoly'a
most conspicuous exponent. or
course, he no more intends 10 further
Socialism than tho small hoy "mon-
keyng' with gun intends to kill
his little sister He is in equally
iblissful ignorance Of the fearful pos
sibilities. Like the small boy lie
doesn't know 1t Is loaded"
But If Sinclair is right about Mr..
Hartman, he is as distinctly wrong
about President Roosevelt, whom
he classes as a Socialist hardly less
active and efficient. Nothing which
he has ever said, written or done
can obscure the fact that President
Roosevelt, so far from encouraging
Socialism, is doing his utmost 10
weaken II by destroying that on
which 1t feeds. He Is doing wnat
he can to prevent people. in their
rear and hatred of the devil OF mon
opoly, from plunging headong into
the deep sea of Socialist collectiyism.
He has been admirably successful
thus far in his attempt to start
back fire" which shall leave less
material than at present
to feed any possible Socialist con
flagration.
The relation of cause and effect
between present day monopoly and
Socialism Is reasonably clear. and IL
the president shall be sustained In
his effort to eXtirpate the baleful
root, there will be lit
tie to apprehend from no less bane-
~, socialistic fruit. He sees cleari-
that the time is not yet come wher
the country can choose only be-
tween the two tyrannies represented
by monopoly and collectivism. At
all events and in this particular case,
Mr.. Upton Sinclair Is half right;
which, for one of his peculiar men
'ality, Is saying a good deal Plain
Dealer.

MANUAL TRAINING IN PUBLIC

What employer nowadays paws any

tices to be skilled workmen? Nine

CONGRESSMEN AS
MERE SALARY GRABBERS

Friday the house of representa-.
tivcs at Washington voted TO in,
crease the salaries of the members
$500 year. The congressman
have been receiving $1,000 a year
and if the plans succeed they will
hereafter receive an annual salary
of $500.
Not, long ago the house voted
TO increase the salaries of the cab
met members, the vice-president
and the speaker of the house to
$4,000. Little was thought of this
matter since it was not an instance
of men using the power which was
granted TO them by the voters 10
increase their own salaries. At the
time that the vote was taken on
the question of raising the salaries
of the officials mentioned, there
was some talk Of an increase for
the congressman and senators as
well. but it was not considered
possible that the house would take
such action. since ii could appear
rs nothing more or less than sal
AIRY grab. The matter has been
dragging along from that time until
Friday. All of the men in favor
Of The bill have been pulling every
possible wire TO get the courage of
the members OF the house TO the
point of their willingness to go
upon record on the subject and
their hopes seems TO be doomed to
being blasted. No congressman was
willing to have the word 90 out
over his district that he has been
implicated III the salary grab, and
the thing promised to die a borning,
until the happy thought occurred
10 the leaders that it would be pos
sible to take vote on the ques-
tion without roll call. The word
was passed along the line that on
Friday the speaker would call for
rising vote, doing away with the
formality of a roll call The vote
was taken, just as vote is taken
