BILLY" GUION,

The grim reaper came close to home
when it tcek BILLY" Gufon.
Every newseaperman who has
known Guion was touched with sad
ness when it was announced that death
had claimed their co-worker.
Some years ago Billy and I COW
cred the same beat for rival papers
in Butte. and it was there that /
learned to know him and to respect
and to admire him. His generosity, his
transcendent ability. his absolute fear
lessness and his intense loyalty to his
paper were qualities which not only
placed him in the front rank of news
papermen but which endeared him to
his fellow workers in the newspaper
field.
Billy Guion's one great fault kept
him from that place in the literary
world to which his genius entitled
him and to that great fault he has
laid down his life.
But of him it can be truly said he
meaner vices came not to him. He
knew not envy or malice Or pettiness
save as he saw it in others. A born
fighter, he fought square, and while
he asked for no quarter he was always
first to give it.
His last fight, his fight against dis
ease and death, was conducted with
the manliness which had characterized
the lesser battles of his journalistic
career, and although hopeful that his
magnificent constitution would give
him a few years more of life, he faced
death calmly and without fear.
Billy Guion was true blue.
May he rest in peace.

The people of the great states OF

that these old-time newspaper prac-

and working almost entirely on the
arrogant holier-than- thou assumption
that the republican party alone is mt
to govern.
1t is an evasion to say that the par
ties are standing for the same thing
this year When the republican con-
yention, by overwhelming majorities'
voted down a proposition to pledge
the party to the direct election OF
United States senator's; when the re-
publican convention, by an overwheim-
ing majority voted down the PROPOSE
ton to pledge the party to the physl-
cal valuation of railways; when the
publican party by an overWreifnins
majority voted down the proposition
to pledge the party to publicity OF
campaign contributions; when the re-
publican party lauded rubber cur
rency" and absolutely ignored the
guaranteeing of bank deposits, 1T lalo
down the lines on which this cam
paign should be fought, it marked the
issues so plainly that no intelligent
American can fail to see them.
Republican campaign managers say
the campaign will be fought in the
west No democrat can object to the
west as the battle-ground. If there Is
one thing in the republican platform
that can appeal to the great progress
sive western spirit it has not yet been
wound.
If the west, which has seen its
money dumped into New York to be
used by stock gamblers can be appealed
to on the straight issue of an unstable
currency as against the guarantee OF
bank deposits; if the west, which has
always taken advanced ground in fav-
or of placing the greatest possible
amount of power in the hands Of the
people. is satisfied to abandon its po-
sition on the direct election of United
States senators; if the west, which has
been honest and fair and above board
in business as in politics now wants
to countenance corrupt elections; il
the west, which has been the victim
of freight extortions and truly desires
to check the greed of the transpOrta-
ton barons, fails to do its part in this
great campaign, if it fails to prevent
the absolute domination of the govern
ment by Wall street, it will fail to live
up to it's glorious promises.

Probably Mr.. earle has never been
responsible for more attractive mu-
steal comedy, and surely he has never
received a more hearty reception from
a Washington audience than was ac-
corded him by the capacity house last
night. The three acts of the comedy
are crowded with such things as de-
light those whose leaning is toward
musical entertainment. First, there is
"a plot. Then there are Is songs-and
in this instance 13 is not unlucky, be-
cause all of the musical numbers are
excellent And, lastly, there is a cast

well as music, and a chorus composed
Of young women who possess grace,
beauty and vocal ability. These are the
essentials of successful musical farce,

BOMBS IN NEW YORK.

The press dispatches recently an
nounced that the New York police
have been successful in their pursuit
of the bomb throwers of the Black
Hand society and that the arrests that
are being made will put an end to the
reign of terror that has existed in the
metropolis for a long time Bomb
throwing in New York had become so
common that it might almost b., called
a habit. So frequent have these explo-
slons been that the district in which
most of them occur has been given
the title of 1.-The dynamite zone This
terror-ridden area lies on the east side
Of the city, in the Italian quarters. ex-
tending one block east and west and
including Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, from north to south.
Since the first of the year there have
been no less than ten serious dyna-
mite explosions in this turbulent ter
ritory. while minor ones doing COM
paratively little damage are of al
most daily occurrence and too numer-
Gus to record. In five adjoining tene-
ments on Eleventh street which con-
stitute the very heart of the "dyna-
mite zone" there have been no less
than six large bombs exploded in the
last three months. AS a result of these
little incidents the tenements have
been practically rebuilt several times,
having been pretty thoroughly
wrecked by each explosion. In this sec
ton large proportion of the popula-
ton carries pocket bombs ready to be
hurled at anybody against whom a
grievance, fancied or real, exists.

TRANSPORTATION.

The degree of perfection of trans
portation facilities in any country is
the measure of it's civilization. In spite
of our boosted railway system, we are
behind Europe in this general respect
because we have neglected the two vi
tai agencies that existed before rail-
roads were dreamd Of.
Waterways have been the trunk
lines of human intercourse and traffic
since exchange of products was in
vented. Railroads supplement, but can
not supersede them, because, with
equal progress of invention, and i'm
provement, waterways always will re-
main far cheaper. The trouble in this
country is that we have let invention
and Improvement of railroads outrun
that of waterways so as to give them
undue advantage in competition
Within a few years we have been
aroused to the necessity of restoring
waterways to their just place in our
cost of exchange of products, as much
as to put an end to the monopoly of
artificial means of carriage. We are
now substituting uniform and syste-
matte Improvement of waterways for
the old fragmentary and costly distri-
button of public money among locali-
ties by political favor.
So much progress has been made in
this direction that all the people can
now join heartily in agitation for in
crease of expenditure without fear
that the money will be wasted
Good roads are hardly second even
to waterways in the transportation
system Of a complete civilization. be-
cause they are feeders of both and re-
duce the terminal expense which has
become the heaviest part of tn bur-
den upon transportation.
All the people of all the states are
concerned to introduce the same syste-
matte order and scientific efficiency
into improvement of roads that the
nation is working for in the improve
ment of waterways.

Got Quite Pleasant.

The mistress of hospitable home in
New York recently had to employ a
new second girl whose work she lied,
but whose blunt and forbidding man
ner she liked not at all. She talked to
the girl and urged her to be pleasant
and agreeable whenever she had to say
anything to other people, particularly
visitors.
A great surprise for the mistress fol.
lowed this admOnition. The next day
the girl happened to attend the door,
and she opened it just as her mistress
was passing through the hall. To the
establishment and bewilderment of the
latter the girl reached out and, catch
ing the caller by the hand, actually
dragged her inside the door, express
ing her pleasure at seeing her. and
then FASTENED to announce the call to
her mistress-New York Sun.
