these new business sections. There IS
an immense quantity In tons and an i'm
mense value in dollars of manufactured
goods brought TO this city by all rail-
road lines which can be manufactured
as chcaply and for many items cheaper
than IN other portions Of the country.
As a business proposition, action on
the part Of the General Government
through its legislative body and the
laws thus passed executed by the local
authorities would build up that portion
Of our city which is deteriorating In
value and increasing in morals.
The health Of the city is not quite up

the highest medical authorities to ascer-
tain the cause Of the large number Of
cases of typhoid fever is disappointing
TO every well WisheT of the Capital OF
the Nation whether he resides here OF
elsewhere. I have looked forward 10
the report Of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service with anxiety
and with faith and still hope that their
continued investigation Will bring to
the attention of the public the cause OF
typhoid fever and its remedy.
Away from the question Of what Is
the matter with Washington, 1t might
be said that there is matter with the
people and with certain corporations.
These corporations have practical mon
OpOlV along certain lines, and in the IN
Jerest of their stockholders they do not
respond to the public demands nOtwith-
standing the fact that the public gave
them control over the monopoly. These
mOnOpOhes have suffered very great
apprehension concerning legislation dur
ing the last session of Congress. Their
appTehensiOns need not be allayed for

Jamestown, Va, Sept. -2.-William
Randolph Hearst, chief Labor Day or
ator at the exposition, before a big
crowd said in part:
Labor day ranks with the Fourth:
one celebrates independence, the other
celebrates labor, by which we receive
prosperity.
I'VE have no aristocracy save that
of labor and intellect. Capital is only
created by the cooperation of en-
ployers and employees. Wages is di-
vision of capital. When the division
is not just, there should be arbitra-
ton.
THE workingman is worthy OF his
share. and the business man of his
profit, and financial promoters and Or
ganizers are worthy of their reward
Both organized capital and organ
izde labor are necessary in the cre-
alton of wealth.
There is just as much difference
between legitimate organization and
criminal combination as between com,
merce and piracy.
prosperity means first the crea'
ton of wealth and then its distribu'
ton. Through legitimate combina'
tions of capital operations are con-

Col. William Parsons, well-known
pioneer of this county, and who has
been in the Philippines until recently.
arrived here this morning to begin
upon his new duties as principal in
strnctor at the Indian school upon
the reservation. He left for the
agency this afternoon.
Col. Parsons first came to this
county 20 years ago, when as a spe-
cial representative he was sent out
by the government to conclude a
treaty with the Indians of the Una
tilla reservation whereby the reser-
walton could be diminished and the
Indians allotted land in severalty. He
afterwards located here and for years
was well-known citizen, engaging
in journalistic work during a portion
of the lime. He is the author of a
history OF this county which tells of
the first settlement of the country
and much of the early day troubles
with the Indians.
Five years ago the colonel left here
to enter the government service in
the Philippines, where he served in
the educational bureau. After three
years service there he asked for q
transfer back to the United States
In order to escape the semi-tropical
climate of the islands. He reached
Portland six weeks ago and being
transferred to the Umatilla Indian
school. came up this morning to re-
sumo his work among the Indians,
with whom he has already had wide
experience.
