poles at the scene of the tragedy and
took it to the storehouse. He never ex-
amined the pole and knew nothing of any
bullet holes He said Mr.. Ewing of the
defense visited him once and asked that
it be preserved. The state objected and
the defense claimed that one of the
states witnesses declared it had been
cut down secretly
The court sustained the objection and
the witness was excused.
A. H. Wright, contractor, who got the
pole, told of examining it and finding
no bullet holes although he looked for
them.
On cross-examination Wright said the
pole was curved and that it had many

GOOD ROADS AN INVESTMENT

Good roads are neither an ornament
to the landscape nor a luxury Of driv-
ers or riders for pleasure.
They are a cold, hard investment for
utility and earning.
Their saving for the cost Of trans
portation is so much income from
products carried from producer to con-
sumner, income which is divided be-
tween the producer and consumer by a
fixed economic rule.
The cost of transportation is moth
ing to the middleman, except as it's
reduction increases the volume of his
trade. He passes this extra transpor-
tation charge one way or the other,
taking it out OF the price he pays to
the farm or factory at one end or add
ing it to the price he asks from the
consumer at the other.
Figures have been repeatedly COM
piled showing the enormous cost of
bad roads. The manager of the Bla-
lock farm recently said that it took
six horses to haul a wagon of produce
to the other end of the macadam road,
from which point two horses easily
brought the load to the city.
The ordinary farmer is apt to ac-
cept as a matter of course this heavy
tax upon his industry. Or he may be
blind to this awful tax because he
pays it not in money, but in horse
flesh. muscle and wear and tear of
wagons
But we are learning. Here at home
we have decided on a good roads pol
icy. and if the Legislators will give us
a law which will enable the people who
put up the money to direct how it shall
be spent. we will set an example for
the rest of the state

TAFTS CABINET.

A Washington dispatch says that the
president feels sighted because Mr..
Taft is not consulting him in the mat
ter of cabinet appointments, and par
ticularly because Mr.. Taft shows no
disposition to appoint Loeb, RoOse-
velt's private secretary, to cabinet
position, says the Oregon Journal. The
country will approve Mr. Taft's course
in this regard if he should exercise his
own good Judgment without deferring
much to Roosevelt's wishes The presi-
dent has made some excellent cabinet
selections, and some not so good. He
has placed a former private secretary
in three cabinet positions, the last one
the second in impOrtance-and some
times the first-in the cabinet, and the
country will be an object of congratu-
lation when he retires. A man fit for a
county recorder or a cauntry bank
cashier, or a campaign fund solicitor,
is not necessarily a fit secretary of
the treasury. A violent presidential
affection has also been conceived for
Loeb, and as a private secretary he
may be worthy Of it, but this does not
Justify his appointment as a cabinet
secretary.

the Post Intelligencer points out tnat
there is no SUBJ treasury within $50
miles of Seattle, and that the Queen
city, in addition to being the head
quarters for all Alaska business is the
home of the government assay ONCE
which handles more gold from sources
of primary production than any other
assay office in the United States.
The banking business of Seattle is
out of all proportion greater than that
done in any other city in the Pacific
northwest. The disbursements on fed
eral account and the receipts at both
the custom house and the internal rev.
enue office for federal account are Tar
and away the greatest of any other city
nearer to Seattle than San Francisco
Moreover. the business relations or
Seattle with all of the rest of the Pa
cific northwest including Alaska, are
so close and intimate that a sub-treas-
urv at Seattle would be in intimate
touch with all of the other centers OF
this great region. Financially, as well
as geographically, Seattle is the proper
location for a federal sub treasury, and
there should be such an institution IN
this Pacific northwest region, wherein
the banking business is expanding with
a greater rapidity than is shown in any
other section of the United States.
There are at present sub treasures
located in New York, Philadelphia
Boston Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago,
ST. Louis, New Orleans and San Fran
cisco. There are some, at least, OF
these cities which do not greatly rank

nitude Of their commerce and in the
