THE "RoANokE ASSOCIATES"
New York, Feb. 3. 1911.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The twenty-second reunion and din
ner Of the Roanoke Associates will be held
al the Hotel Astor on February S. the for
ty-ninth anniversary Of the battle and capt
ure of Roanoke Island. Time is gradually
thinning out the ranks of those who were
connected with the Burnside expedition.
Secretary Louis l.. Robbins reports that
many of the veterans have gone over
during the last year.
The expedition was composed of New
York and New England troops. Although
splendid service rendered by other
regiments. the 9th New York (iawkins'
Zouaves. commanded by Colonel Rush G.
Hawkins occupied the centre of the stage
as star performers. \ three-gun battery
near the middle OF the island held the key
to the position from o'clock in the morn
ing until about o'clock in the afternoon.
After several hours of fruitless attempts
TO silence the battery by flank, owing TO
swamps and mud -bottomed water, there
came an opportune moment for sortie
directly in front over a narrow cart path.
And over il the Zouavcs were sent with a
rush and a whoop and a yell. IL was evil
IDENTIFY a surprise to the enemy. but the con-
hct was over; leg bail was taken, and be-
fore shutdown there was complete surrender
to the Union forces, all told about seven
hundred prisoners

JLLI STRlYING IT'S DEFECTS


II is reported that Governor Dix will
ask the Attorney General TO advise him
how long rcorganizing the Highways
Commission would delay the states road
building. Some say that the work Will
fall behind nearly n year if the Gov
ernOrs legislation is passed. Contracts
will be held UP while the change in adj
ADMINISTRATION is being brought about. and
the new highway authorities will require
time 10 become acquainted with their
task. Is il worth while TO interrupt this
important work for several months
merely to substitute one commission for
another
Incidentally, the Governor has OK
hibited the weakness Of his proposed sys-
TEN. He had barely raised the question
of changing the authorities in charge Of
road building when he was faced by the
prospect Of interrupting that work for
months. Highway building is a con
iinuous task which requires continuity
of administration. The Governors
scheme would bring about confusion m
il now. and only n less degree Of con
fusion every two years hereafter.

STATEMENT FROM E. EVANS.

Under the heading, "The Sa-
loon and the Reformers," the dry
forces in this county have pub
lished and caused to be circulat-
ed the following statement, which
is a moral if not a criminal libel,
and peculiarly the false premises
they occupy, attach simply to me;
1t is known that some of the
names on the wet statement were
subscribed because business asso-
ciates had done So. We there
fore assume that beyond any
doubt many of the signers indif-
ferently subscribed their names
for the same reason, and not be-
cause of any particular belief in
the statement. One individual
has already appeared before a
notary and made affidavit that
the article was misrepresented
and mis-stated to him and that
he signed it under misapprehen-
sion of its import; that he under
stood it to mean that in case the
saloons were voted back into Ida
no County then these men desir-
ed to the present petition to the
County Commissioners and Coun-
ell for the purpose of controlling
the issuance of the licenses.
When the representatives OF
the petitioners who called for the
local option election, drew their
statement to the voters of Idaho
County, and | read it, it coincid-
ed with my views to such an ex-
tent that | volunteered to circul-
ate the petition in Grangeville.
Every man who is credited on
that petition with having signed
it from Grangeville, signed it in
my presence, after having the pc
tition, which was in type, pre-
scented to him and either reading
it or having it read to him in
my presence. There is not one
who signed it who was even urg-
ed by me to endorse the state
ment. l did not during the
course of my rounds in Grange
vile with this statement, urge a
single man to sign that statement
| presented it to him, insisted on
his knowing the full contents OF
it and left it entirely with him
