Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
Unfortunate though the fact may
be, it is in the nature of things and
true, that at our present stage of
progress we are dependent almost en-
tirely upon one industry for our sup
port; and when lumber does not find
a market and our mills and logging
camps are consequently compelled to
suspend operations for any consider
able length of time, but one result
can follow: A majority of our work.
ing men are thrown out of employ
ment and business in all lines suf-
fers materially. When, as at this
time, the lack of demand for our
principal product is due to a general
business depression all over the coun-
try, and as consequence hundreds
of thousands of men are within a
brief period thrown out of employ
fhent in the United States, the result
locally is that our laboring class is
rendered practically helpless, except
in the instances of the limited pro-
portion who have practiced economy
and whose wages have been suffi-
ciently high to enable them by so
doing to provide savings to carry
them through a period of enforced
idleness.
Many of the men thus forced out
of work are unmarried, and to the
single man period of idleness, if
not too long, may partake largely
of the nature of joke; to him the
problem of existence without regular
employment for a considerable time,
is, in this wonderful country Of ours,
not very serious one. But for the
man with children or other helpless
ones dependent upon his daily wage,
being thrown out of work with an
uncertainty as to when he will again
have the opportunity to market his
labor is not infrequently a matter
almost of life and death, not only for
himself but for those whom he loves
better than himself.
In the Grays Harbor cities it is
safe to say are hundreds Of men be-
longing to the latter class. Perhaps
the limited wages which he could
earn have had to feed too many little
mouths and clothe too many bodies,
or sickness or accident may have
contributed to eat up the savings
which he had put by for time Of
need; or, as is too frequently the

and then go at 1t systematically to
give this county the roads and the
kind of roads which it needs. A
trunk road should be built, wide,
well drained and with easy grades,
from Melbourne to Westport, with
laterals to the south from several
points; the Aberdeen -Montesano road
should be widened; the road up the
Wishkah should be improved and en-
tended; the road into the Quinault
lake country should be treated like
wise, as doubtless should also be the
ones up the Wynooche and Satsop
valleys. Let it be the carefully fol-
lowed policy of the commissioners to
see to it that only men of family who
need the work be employed, or, at
least, that such men be given pref
erence at all times; and make the
continued employment of every man
depend absolutely upon his giving a
fair days work for fair days pay.
If such work must, under the law,
necessarily be done by contract, then
let each contract be so drawn as to
compel the contractor to follow these
rules in the employment of his la
Dor.
1t may be argued that this is a
bad season of the year in which to
build roads, and doubtless this is
true; but it is also a bad time of
year for large number of men to

wise with State Banks. Would
end Bank paniCS.

Every note put out by national
bank Is guaranteed or insured by the
United States government. If a ma
tional bank fail, it's currency remains
as sound as the gold dollar, and this
fact establishes perfect confidence in
national bank currency.
Mr.. Bryan would extend this safe
guard to the deposits of national
banks. He would have the govern
ment insure the payment in full OF
every dollar deposited in a national
bank, the cost of this insurance to be
collected as tax from all the ma
tional banks.
If this reform can be effected It
will prove the greatest financial boon
ever extended to the American peo-
pie. Under it bank panics would
cease. Credit in national bank
would be as good and as unquestion-
ed as note upon national bank.
There would be no motive whatever
for runs on national banks, and
the present banking system would
soon become dark and unhappy
memory.
Periods of comparative industrial
and financial depression can never
be altogether avoided. So long as
the speculative spirit remains in the
human mind, occasional undue infla-
tion of values anu unsound specula-
tive ventures must be expected. If,
however, we could eliminate the wild
fear that leads to panic-stricken runs
on banks, the injurious effects of
necessary occasional readjustments
of values would be reduced to the
minimum. epositors would have no
reason to withdraw their deposits
and hide them away when most
needed by the banks and the pub
lie. Assured Of the payment to the
last cent Of their deposits, the peo-
pie would go about their occupations
with confidence and hope. Financial
panics would be robbed of their most
disastrous consequences.
The moral effects Of this reform
would be tremendous. It would i'm
part great impetus to the virtue Of
thrift and economy. Under existing
conditions every severe financial
panic deals terrific blow to the saw

A LESSON in FACTS
GRAYS HARBOR POST AN EASY
Somebody Has Editor Clark so Buffa.
lOed That He Thinks all Junk
Shipped From GrayS Harb0r Means
the Robbery of the "OOWntr0dden
WOrkinqman."

"In it's issue OF Sept. 7, the Post pub.
lished photos Of the dray load OF baggage
taken from the 2lO men by the Grays
Harbor Commercial Company, OF Cos.
mopolis. Two photographers for this
paper, especially employed, made photos
of the dray as it was driven through the
streets of this city to the Northern Pa
ciic depot where it was shipped to Seat
tie by Mike Alpert, who had it in charge.
"The Aberdeen HERALD. apologist for
the Commercial company, condemned
the local daily for speaking q word Of
sympathy for the men robbed, and had
the following to say editorially:
ITO those who know the facts, the pa
thetic effusion was most amusing. They
know that every hobo ON the Pacific
Coast is familiar with the methods em-
ployed by the G. H. Commercial Co. to
secure labor, and when one Of this gentry
wishes to come to Grays Harbor from
Portland ::or Seattle, he HES unto the
employment agency and hires out to 60
to Cosmopolis. His fare is paid, for tie
repayment OF which his baggage is held.
He arrives at Cosmopols in the evening,
has supper, his bed and breakfast, and
strikes the plank road for Aberdeen next
morning. On his way he is asked to
work at the mills he passes-but work is
the last thing next to death, he is look
ing for-and a few days later he lands
up in the Jail Of either Aberdeen OF Ho-
quiam.
"Later, the company looks up his
earthly possessions.' only to find bogus

carefully filled with old newspapers,
with a brick or two to give it an air Of
solidity. Junk men are alive to the
situation, and bid very small trife for
the goods, the sale of which nearly
caused our sympathetic contemporary to
weep"

talk with his grocer and with some
of the heavy employers of labor in
this vicinity. While there is little
likelihood of this condition lasting
long, 1t Is very certain to continue
long enough to produce a vast
amount of suffering, Unless unusual
means are employed for relieving it.
But, fortunately, an easy and what
seems to the writer a most practical
BILE remedy is at hand. 1t can be ex-
pressed in two short words and can
be put into effect by the action of
just three men.
The two words are BUILD ROADS;
the three men are the county COM
missioners.
That there is crying need for
more and better roads in this coun-
ty we all know; that the county is
not only out of debt but has big
surplus of cash on hand which would
be we'll spent in building roads, we
all know equally we'll; that the ex-
penditure of 100000 or 100000
for roads at the present time would
provide support for many months to
come-prObably for as long as it will
be needed-for all of the men of
family who are now out of work or
who soon will be, is equally certain

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-Paui
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York. and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
eXtravagant allowances TO agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling 1t.
His place is being taken by profes-
sors. lawyers. school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vacations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes 10 the agent
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president Of the Equita-
bic Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company
He says: 1--WE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"

and vigorous blood into the agency

success in all parts of the country.

nWhiskers."

"Whiskers" was word formerly
used to designate the hair on the up
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
OF "whiskers on the upper lip" and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined a "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; a mustachio." II. seems to
have taken it's name from a fancied
resemblance to a small brush, TO
"whisk" properly meaning TO sweep,
and "whisker" having been a par
ticular kind of feather brush-also, in
the slang of a former time, a switch
or rod In the seventeenth century a
"whisker" signified among other
things a bYIsaa lie, "whopper."

General Breakdown Caused by Def
eient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
TO each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is a mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must. be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
