others, for the improvement of VIII
liams street was referred to the street
committee.
A protest was filed by Jean 3. Stew
art and others against the proposed
paving of B street in it's present con-
dition. The protest points out that
the street is of three different widths,
and has several jogs which should be
Strengthened out before being perman-

The largest wedding of the Easter
season, and one of the prettiest ever
celebrated in Aberdeen took place
last evening in st. Andrews Episco-
pal churcha. when the nuptuals of
Miss Ruby Eubanks and Mr.. Joseph
Barkley We're solemnized by the rec
tor, Rev. F. F. w. Greene. The

host of good wishes.
Promptly at $50 o'clock, to the
bridal march on the pipe organ, the
bride appeared handsomely gowned,
escorted by DR.. W. Y. Croxall and
was met by the bridegroom, accom-
panied by the best man. Alfred Hart.
and Rev Greene at the altar, where
the impressive ceremony of the Eps-
copal church was read. The bride
was attended by Miss Ruth Barkley,
as honor maid, and Miss Gladys Lille
and Miss Josephine Richmond as
bridesmaids, while the groom was
looked after by Messrs. Alfred Hart,
Wallace Robinson and Arthur Beck
enhauer
The music for the occasion was eX-
ceptionally fine, solos being rendered
by Miss COgger, Miss Richmond and
Mrs. Guy P. Halferty After the cere-
mOny, reception was held in the
Pythian temple, the large armory be-
ing filed with friends to wish the
happy young couple long, happy
and prosperous voyage over the sea
of life. A buffet supper was served
in the dining hall, that was thorough
ly enjoyed.

ROAD BUILDING
IS STOPPED
Decision of Attorney General
Puts End to Contemplated
Road Building
COUNTY IN BAD BOX
Road Fund is Overdrawn
Recklessly and Warrants
May Be Invalidated

Road building in Chehalis county
must cease for two years according
to an opinion given the county COM
mlssioners by the attorney general
last week. The attorney general ad-
vised that no warrants could be
drawn against the road fund unless
there was money in the fund with
which to meet them. In other words,
road building must be paid for in
cash. either collected in advance by
taxation or secured by bonding. As
there are outstanding about $167 1000
of road warrants in the county, and
the tax levy is fixed to raise but $56,-
600, the situation is plain.
Confronted with this condition. the
commissioners can do nothing with
the projected roads to Westport and
Lake Quinault until money is secur-
ed by the voting of bonds. AS bonds
can only be voted at a general cleo
ton, this means a delay of two years
not only in providing the settlers OF
these localities with transportation
facilities, but the delay of the develop
ment of what will become the rich
est sections of Chehais county.
Work on the Southside road be-
tween Aberdeen and OcOsta, which
is under contract, will be completed,
but will not be extended to West
port.
The disappointment of the settlers
in those localities, as well as to the
Grays Harbor region generally is
great, and the feeling is that some
body should be held accountable for
the laundering management that per.
mltted the county to founder into
such position. 1t is possible that
action may be taken in the courts to
invalidate the warrants that have
been issued illegally, and permit the
losers to seek recompense from those
responsible personally.
About $4,000 of state aid money
is available in the county, and this
will be used in graveling the road
between Hoquiam and Humptulips.
Although the state highway engineers
spent nearly all of last summer in
locating the Quiniault road, there is
difference of opinion as to the best
route to be taken, Alex Poison and
j. A. McGillicuddy advocating what is
known as the McAfee road, but what
the settlers and the entire Grays
Harbor region want is road that will
unlock the resources of this rich ter
ritory, a territory that should have
been opened up at least ten years

SECOND WARD CLUB MEETS

A meeting of the property owners
OF the Second Ward was held Mon
day night, at which the plan of seek
ing federal aid for the dredging of
the Wishkah and HOquiam rivers was
endorsed The meeting was not so
largely attended as was expected,
owing to the stormy night, and the
resolutions that had been prepared
for adoption were not acted upon, it
being thought better to defer them
for a larger meeting.

| ment here. AS the party. after the signal
triumph Of 1892. could not pass such q
tariff bill as Mr.. Watterson describes.
| how could it have hoped to accomplish
| such q result by a confession Of failure
and second appeal to the people? The
protection democrats-headed by Mr.
German in Congress and Mr.. Whitney
| outside-would still have been powerful
They were better led than the free trad
ers. They had unlimited credit with the

ceed. they would have remained lior
in the path Of those who were struggling
toward a tariff for revenue only.
It is true that had the tariff been
kept to the front. Mr.. Bryan would not
have fowered into leadership in 1896.
But who would have been the leader that
year? Mr.. Cleveland. beyond a doubt.
And how would that have suited Mr..
Watterson?
The kentucky editor never "cottoned
to Mr.. Cleveland. Until the special tariff
message was sent to Congress in Decem-
ber. 1887, his interest in the President
was lukewarm, and the enthusiasm be-
gotten by that deliverance was shortlived
For the following summer at the demo-
cratic national convention Mr.. German.

lands representative bearing a tariff
plank for the platform which all but
repudiated the message to Congress; and
this would have been accepted by the
convention had not Mr.. Watterson, as
chairman of the platform committee
interposed. He caused it to be rejected.
and the platform made to conform to
the party's tariff record and Mr.. Cleve-
lands official recommendations.
In 1892 Mr.. Waterson strongly advised
against the third nomination of Mr..
Cleveland, and expressed the opinion that
If the party took such action 1t would
march through a slaughter house to an
open grave" The Homestead riots
changed the situation, but not the opinion
that Mr.. Watterson entertained of the
hero of the day. That remained uncom-
plimentary.
With Mr.. Cleveland leading for the
fourth time. would Mr.. Watterson's sup
port of the ticket have been joyous, or
perfunctory? Should We have seen him
at his best. or only at his best in the
circumstances? He missed Mr.. Cleveland,
and, striking Mr.. Bryan, bolted him.

Comfy in Booms.

As the story goes. some Indiana demo
Gratis, unfriendly TO the Marshall boom
made a journey to Trenton and asked q
blessing on a movement to organize VIII
son clubs in their state. But the Cover
nor of New Jersey was not agreeable.
He was not disposed to dispute with Gov
Marshall for control of the Indiana dele
cation to the democratic national con-
vention-
The decision was founded in both good
taste and good politics. AS The Star
suggested several months ago, there
should be comfy in this matter. Anti
Marshall democrats in Indiana, anti-Wil-
son democrats in New Jersey, anti-Har-
mon democrats in Ohio. and anti-Clark
democrats in Missouri are to be viewed
with suspicion, either as to their wis
dom or their motives. Personal griev-
ances rather than considerations of party
good are suggested; and men with per-
sonal grievances are. as a rule, not safe
advisers where their grievances come
into play.
AS the case stands today, of the five
democratic presidential booms only
two, strictly speaking. are national in
character. Mr.. Bryan is a national man
in every sense. He stands for national
Should he be called to the presidency
the country would know what to expect

would surround him in case of his pro-
melton 10 the White House
But Gov. Marshall, Gov Wilson and
Gov Harmon are as yet local men. Each,
1t is true, has expressed himself as to
national issues, and Gov. Harmon some
years ago filled by appoint ntment a national
Office. But all three are holding Office
today as the result of appeals on local
issues. Gov. Marshall and Gov. Harmt n
are the benefciaries of campaigns waged
largely on the temperance question, with
the democracy holding the wet end of
the proposition, while Gov. Wilson is in
Office largely as a protest against local
republican machine rule. Many repub-
licans voted for him on that issue who
next year will vote for their party's can
didate for President.
While these three men have no ma

must be taken on trust, each is entitled

China's Claim Against Mexico.

China gives another bit of evidence of
awakening if the dispatches from Mex
leo City accurately state the case. The
news is that China has demanded So.
0cO,GO0 indemnity from Mexico for the
massacre of subjects and their property
loss and will probably send warship to
the Mexican Pacific coast.
China comes at Mexico with its demand
at time when Mexico is full of trouble.
The revolution is officially closed, but
perhaps not really. The principal con-
tention of the Madero party-the abdica-
ton of DiaZ-has been attained. but the
rule of order and security has not fully
returned and the future Is unsettled.
China has learned that the proper time
to demand an indemnity of gold or terri
tory is when the government on which
the demand is made is distraught. This
has been China's situation when demands
have been made upon her. However,
Mexico is not as feeble and inert as China
is in the face of demand, nor has China
the means of aggression possessed by
those powers which have made exactions
upon her. The government of Mexico
will no doubt treat the Chinese indemnity
claim on its merits and make such rep
aration as may after just consideration be
found to be due.
The unrestrained mob is the cause of
many an international imbroglio. Racial
antipathies are given rein and hand
full of ruffians will make trouble for ma
tions. The Chinese Official reports of
the outraSes on Chinese at Torreon, Goa
hula, September III, 1910. make that af-
fair as CHASTITY as did the newspaper ac-
counts published at the moment. Other
acts OF atrocity against Chinese are cited.
AS recently as June last inoffensive
Chinese were slain in several Sonora
towns and their property looted. The
complaint of the Chinese government
would seem to have foundation.

Moving Pictures.

Another duty, that of censoring moving
picture films, may be added to the al
ready manifold labors and responsibili-
ties of the District Commissioners. Sem
ator Gallinger introduced In the Senate
recently a bill to prevent the exhibition
of obscene or vulgar scenes in moving
picture theaters or other places of
amusement. The bill. IL enacted into
law. would prohibit the exhibition of any
films that have not first been submitted
to the Commissioners and found not to
be indecent For violation a fine of not
more than $40 would be imposed. A
bill OF similar aim was passed by the
Senate last session, but failed of passage
in the House
The intent Of this legislation Is moral
and protective to the young. There Is
no general complaint that the moving
picture theaters Of Washington are put
ting on the screen pictures that would
be prohibited IL the pending bill should
pass both chambers, but 1t might be we'll
to have such . law on the books, that II
could be promptly invoked should an cc-
casion warrant At present the police
