Miss williams To Visit Rockville.

Miss Louise A. Williams, of Georgia.
who has made Hon. William Jennings
Bryan smile and write appreciatively of
her work, captivated the Tafts and, further
more. came into her own in a recent ap-
pearance at the White House, of which
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson has written in a
most complimentary manner. has been
secured by the Womans Club for an even
ing Of old negro songs and stories in dialect
to be in Rockville next Tuesday night.
June 10. at the Town Hall.
Miss Williams appeared in Rockville to
a crowded house year ago, and many who
enjoyed that evening will doubtless avail
themselves of the opportunity to attend on
Tuesday night
Miss williams will give an entirely new
repertoire. with the exception of one num-
Der given last year. which she has been
especially requested to repeat.
On this occasion she will render one of
Uncle Remus stories, the famous Tar Baby
tale; other numbers of interest will be
Negro Sermon; Tennessee Horse Race,
in which a little negro jockey on mare
ole Mistis" wins the race and takes the
Old Southern home of his lite folks" from
the foreclosure of a mortgage.
She will sing "A Plantation Love Song"
and "A Nanny Lullaby" and give ghost
stories and negro sermons.
The Mandolin Club will render Dixie
Land melodies and quartette will sing
number of Southern songs.
This young Southerner has received from
the big metropolitan papers excellent re-
views Of her work, and she will doubtless
be greeted here by large crowd Tuesday
evening. judging from the present advance
sale of tickets.

A VIEW

1t seems strange indeed that a senator from Nevada cannot
take part in any discussion that comes before the United States
senate relative to California matters without being charged by GER
tain papers in the state with being recreant to the interests of Ne
vada. The Appeals idea of a United States senator, whether he
be Democrat or Republican, is that when he is elected to that
body he serves not only the people of the state who sent him there,
bat that he serves every state in the Union. At least, that is our
Interpretation of the constitution, and when Senator Newlands
or Senator Pittman takes part in any matter that concerns Cali
fornia, Alaska, New York or any other place, he is doing just what
is expected of him. And if either senator took part in the affairs
of another state and refused help to the senators from that state
in a righteous cause, what help could they expect from those sena-
tors when a matter of vital interest concerning Nevada came up
and the vote of the others was necessary to put it through?
Will those papers that are condemning Senators NewlanGs
and Pittman for helping out other states be kind enough to tell
us what they would do under the circumstances?
The trouble with some of them is that they re so blindiy
prejudiced towards California and so narrow in their politics that
it il impossible for them to see good in either one OF the other.

MARKED ROAD PROGRESS

Since the Washington state permanent highway law become
operative in 1911 authoritative figures show that 255 miles OF
hard surfaced highways have been completed Dr. contracted for
representing a total cost of So 1924 51. Sixty-six per cent of the
entire mileage has been constructed along the lines of primary
highways. Spokane county leads in mileage although Kings coun-
" leads in amount of money expended. Spokane county has been
AOntented with comparatively inexpensive graveled roads and
waterbound macadam highways but Kings and Pierce counties have
been building with brick and concrete. The various counties re-
port balances on hand totaling $3SO,OOO and the permanent high
way levy for the present year will add to this 81, 525, 76l for use
during the coming year. Washington is forging straight ahead in
its highway construction and will shortly be well prepared to
handle the big tourist traffic that is bound to seek the Pacific
Northwest during the coming years.

WELLS FARGO MUST SETTLE

The decision of Judge Quicker of the Sixth Judicial district
in the Wells, Fargo & company tax ease will put a great deal Of
money in the county treasures of the state. Wells, Fargo & com
pAny has for years been the champion tax dodger of the country.
They do n enormous business with the investment of very little
capital. With a rented office and a few desks and office fixtures
they drag the community Of vast sums of money and then make
returns on their income that are simply laughable. The decision
of Judge Quicker that they must pay their just share of taxes will
be hailed with delight by the people of the state.
Probably Wells, Fargo 4 company will appeal and fight it
through the Supreme court. The company has a chronic dislike to
paying taxes.

MORE COMMON N

Modern painters and sculptors have a habit of making a v for
a u, and on the public buildings the figures which tell of the date
OF erection are bewildering. Secretary McAdoo has come to the
relief of the masses by ordering that hereafter when a lev public
building is marked it will be in plain figures, which all who can
read can understand. A building started in 1913 will be desiv-
mated by those figures instead of being lettered MDVVXIVVCVD
or in other heiroglvphics.

Because patents have expired; because methods OF production
have advanced abroad; because water transportation is cheap, and
because we have a new tariff, Charles NJ. Schwab says this coun-
try faces the most serious depression it has ever known lie IS
speaking specifically of steel.
Mr.. Schwab was also speaking of steel when in 1899 he wrote
to Henry Clay Frick:
"As to the future, even on low prices, am most sanguine.
/ know positively that England cannot produce piglrOn at the
actual cost for less than $3.50 a ton, even allowing no, profit on
raw materials, and cannot put pigiron into a rail with their most
effective works for less than 81 80 a ton. This would make a rail
at net cost to them at $40. We can sell at this price and ship
abroad so as to net us $40 at works for foreign business, nearly as
good as home business has been. What is true of rails is equally
true of other steel products As a result of this We are going to
control the steel business of the world.
"You know we can make rails for less than $l2 per ton leaving
a nice margin for foreign business
Since those confident words were written, British steel pro
duction has increased less than 100000 tons; German production
has increased 11,00OO0O tons; American production 2OOOOOOO
tons. We made last year half the steel of the world, turning out
100000 tons more steel than pigirOn, even, and buying cargoes
of iron abroad.
" believe that we will come out all right in the end, - says
Mr.. Schwab in his gloomy prophecy, and he is right. The republic
will endure. There is still profit in steel rails Fifty-one years
is too young for a CHEEKY man to turn despondent.-World
