GOVERNOR HADLEY.

Herbert S. Hadley is governor Of
the great state of Missouri. He was
Indicted into Office on Monday last
with pomp and ceremony in strange
contrast with the Democratic sim.
plicity with which his Democratic
predecessors had been inaugurated.
He Is the first Republican governor
elected since 1870 according to Re.
publican authority, while Democrats
contest that he Is the first Republi-
can ever elected In Missouri when all
the voters OF the state exercised the
free and unrestricted ballot. Repub.
licsn governors there we're during the
reconstruction days following the
war, but they were elected at time
when only Republicans we're allowed
to vote, a test oath being presented
that was repugnant to any ireeborn
American citizen, that must be taken
before anyone suspicioned with
Democratic proclivities were allowed
to vote. As consequence the Demo.
cratic organization was abandoned
and individual Democrats Joined
With fair and liberal Republicans In
1870 to elect e. Grstz Brown. But
irrespective OF what party elected
him, Mr.. Hadley lie now governor for
the whole people OF the state and as
such Is entitled to the undivided sup.
port and allegiance Of every Mis-.
sourian in the conduct OF his Office
to the end that the best interests oil

IMPAIRED HIS USEFULNESS.

Senator Tillman made q very able
defense before the senate on Monday
to the recent charges OF President
Roosevelt that he had acted i'm.
properly In connection with Oregon
land speculations, which were under
investigation by the government
secret service agents. A resolution
was introduced by Senator Tillman
for the government to compel the
Union Pacific railroad to open for
sale q large tract Of timber land ced.
ed to that corporation. Then TIL.
man placed an order through land
agents for nine quarter sections for
himself and members OF his family.
While It Is not claimed BY the presi.
dent that crimihality lays against
the senator, still the bounds OF pro.
priety, to say the least, was certain
ly stretched. A United States Sena.
tors action should be largely akin
to the reputation credited Caesars
wife. The motives which apparently
actuated the president in thus expos
Ing 1illmsn are undoubtedly due to
animus and pique, and are not to biz
credit. This In mo wise excuses Till
man for using information gained al
q senator to advance his persona
financial interests. This incident
has certainly impaired his usefulness
In the United States Senate.

A KICK ON PERMANENT
ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Altman Daniel Is teetotally and
everlastingly against permanent
road building and is not afraid to
tell OF the faith that is In him. He
writes an article on that subject for
publication, which can be found In
another column OF this issue. His
principal objection Is the cost and
bis opposition to going into debt.
The TIMES does not ngree with Mr..
Daniels deductions, but we cheeriully
give space to both sides OF all public
questions. As the debt proposition
seems to be the great stumbling
block to Mr.. Daniel, we might re.
mind him that few men get start
In the world without first going into
debt. That all the big fortunes are
founded on evidences OF debt, that
there lie a vast difference In a public
debt and q private one. That few
people object to paying small ad.
ditional levy when the public Inn.
provement obtained is Of great con-
venience to them and enchances the
value OF their private property.
That the hording Of vast public
surplus is opposed to good public
policy and therefore few improve
ments could be made II the law re-
quired that the money be In the

RoAD byI[Dlae MAKE;
FRESH sum THIS FALL

A we'll founded rumor comes In from
the north that the Northern Pacific will
extend ito branch from Stanton into The
knifesiver country. this fall. TIKI
Northern Pacific has made final ar-
ransements ier the purchase Of the
risht-of-wsy from Stanton to Kniferiyas.;;
and the contlact u to be let lor III
rest Of the grading and work beean
at once.
The preliminry survey for the Knife
river route was made last year. as Pre-
viously announced In the PRESS. The
survey is past Manning. Fayette and
west through the Bad Lands. The PRESS
has aready made mention Of the gradual
purchase Of the rieht-of-way along the
west bank Of tie Missouri river through
the northwestern part Of McKenzie
county during the past summer. Al
present the N. P. is in full: possession
as far as Banks. with the exception oi
a few miles.
When the work on the west branch
down the Yellowstone from Glendive "a
near Sidney is completed, supplies will
be hauled in for the construction of q
bridge over the Yellowstone. h IL q
matter of conjecture as to what route
the branch will follow after that. After
crossing the Yellowstone, it has the
alternative of two surveyed routes
through Mckenzie county-one, up the
Yellowstone to the Missouri river and
then across the northern and down the
eastern border Of the county, and
around via all the big bends in the
Missouri to Stanton. Another and more
direct route from Sidney across by
Charbonneau and Bonnie Pierre creeks
to Cherry. down Cherry to the Little
Missouri-and from there sonth to the
Knife river. The opinion of the people
in the west end of the county seems
be that the railroad will favor the
latter route.
If the first survey is chosen, Mckenzie
county will have a railroad along its
entire western. northern and eastern
borders. If the second. it will be cut
across diagonalIy. In either event
most of the farmers will be brought
within easy hauling distance of the
market.

CARNEGIE WTTHHOLDS MONEY
BECAUSE OF DENOMINATIONS

In the opinion of James Bertram'
private secretary of Andrew Carnegie

the denominational schools Of oregon
that makes them unworthy Of dona-

This letter. which gained signifi-
cance through the statements MADE
by Dr. Wallace Buttrick, chairman
of the general education board ap-
pointed to handle the s4S,000,0OO fund

poets to lay off three plots of about

ENTHUSIASM AND FAT,

These two like oil and water, mix
poorly This does not imply fat men
and women never get enthusiastic.
They do down deep inside. But what
does II amount to? Their fat doesn't
get excited. They can't transmute
their enthusiasm into energetic ac-
ton. so they might as well keep calm.
Thus It is that fat people generate
much steam for life's work. only to
find the load too much for the horse

reason these tablets are so much ap-
