CONGRATULATIONS FROM ]
STITT WILSON, MAYOR
OF BERKELEY, CAL.

Upon receipt of telegram from the
national secretary our state secretary
sent a report of the Seattle riot to Ma
tional Executive Member j. Stitt Will
son. In reply Comrade Wilson con
graduates the Washington movement
upon the memorial sent to the presi-
dent of the United States. Incidental
ly Comrade Wilson also sends our
paper a check together with the letter
below. We know Comrade Wilson will
not mind if we say by way of com
ment that maybe our ferocious Wash
ington movement, known to be in
periodical turmoil, may not be such
a senseless movement as many of our
comrades think it.
Berkeley, Cal, Aug. 1, 1913.
Editor Commonwealth,
Everett, Wash
Dear Comrades-On receipt of your
first copy after the attack on our So
cialist headquarters in Seattle, l am
constrained to send you small check
(S500) in response to your appeal for
help, that the paper may fully avail
itself of the harvest these rioters are
preparing for us. "Whom the gods
destroy they first make mad"
You are to be congratulated on the
manner in which the Commonwealth
has utilized the affair for the cause.
Yours faithfully,
]. STITT WILSON.

Road Building A Matter OF Business

That many county commissioners
need educating toward using more
scientific and business like methods
in improving roads was declared by
Ehrhart.
Many counties have been spending
money for years upon roads to which
they do not have any title whatever,
and some of the commissioners seem
to think that the highway commission
is too rigid in demanding that clear
title of county possession be shown
for every piece of road to be improv-

The Blue and the Gray

On July l, 1913, there VIII begin
one OF the most picturesque pageants
that this country has ever seen. On
the battlefield of Gettysburg will meet
what remains after fifty years, OF the
armies which fought in that great
crisis of the Civil war. Only hst-
ory and in the memories Of the aged
does bitterness OF that sad con
flict yet remain. The prosperous and
growing South joins with the North
and west in one national unity. The
old soldiers will march toward one
another, blue against gray. until they
meet when they will clasp hands in
token OF friendship. The best good
wishes OF another generation go with
the venerable men in their reunion
Every state ought to see to it that
everything is done to make this
ceremony as vivid and picturesque as
possible. May the two flags mingle
their colors on the fields that so
short time ago were drenched with
the blood OF brothers and comrades of
these white haired men.-Colliers.

there is some objection to our ruling

CARTER COUNTY
HAS BEST RECORD
HAD GlNNED MORE COTTON
THAN LAST YEAR UP TO NOV.
IA, WHILE WHOLE STATE LOST,

Up to November Il, there had been
ginned in Carter county this year H.
937 bales of cotton, up to the same
period last year there had been gin
ned 16,777 bales. While the crop this
year was not considered nearly so
good early in the season, and while
the rains have been coming with a
painful regularity all during the fall
that kept the pickers from the field,
yet the government record shows
more cotton to have been ginned up
to the middle of November than was
ginned last year up to same period.
However from November If to the
end of the season there will be a fall
ing off from the record made last year
and Carter county does not expect to
sin as much cotton this year as it d d
last year.
Up to the same date in the entire
state there had been ginned in 1918,
G66,G79 bales, and in 1912, 725,OO6

BY SANTA FE.

George VI. Groom with the Pioneer
Telegraph and Telephone Company
began with a crew of helpers this
morning to build a telegraph and
telephone line along the route of the

system will be the latest model used
on railroads and will be an exact
duplicate of the system recently in
stalled on the Santa Fe here. A
message can be sent over the wire
and at the same time the message
is going, persons can use it as a tel
ephone wire. The newest equipment
is being placed on the road and it
will soon be equipped to care for
the travel in a good manner. The
trains are now running on schedule
time to Wilson, leaving here at $50
each morning and returning about
600 in the evening No depot has
been built here and the passengers
nave very poor accommodations, but
the road has as many as seventy
men employed on the road now and
the accommodations are being mad q
better every day. The oil fields are
giving the road great deal of bust
ness and the new line is certainly
appreciated by the oil men. AS many
as two hundred passengers are car
ried on some of the trips. The train
that left this morning carried more
than a hundred passengers. The
fare to Wilson, the present terminus,
is 60 cents. Nice depot buildings

CASH ECHOLS
THE MAN WITH A CONSCIENC E
A SICK WIDOW
AND FIVE CHILDREN
A FEW DOLLARS NOW WILL GIVE
HER AN OPPORTUNITY TO RE-
COVER. STATEMENT OF CASE.

Mrs. Lizzie Barrett, a widow with
five small children, resides at 902
Sixth avenue, northeast. Mrs. Barrett
has suffered for three weeks from a
siege of grip, she is now out of bed,
but severe cough followed the grip
and she will not be able to return
to her work for several days. She
earns living for herself and little
brood by doing washing for the neigh
bors, and now she is not able to work,
and the exposure TO the water at
this time would probably cost her her
life. The ages of the children are II,
9, s, 4, and babe less than a year
old. The children were sick at the
time the mother was down, and Mrs.
Barrett said yesterday to a represen-
tative of this paper who visited her
that the neighbors in that section of
the town had been very kind to her
and without their help she and the
children could not have gotten through
the emergency. The woman has had
the best medical attention, as City
physician DR.. Booth has had charge
of the case.
The woman's husband died a year
ago. He was a Woodman but had al
lowed his policy to lapse a few days
before his death, and the woman re.
ceived no life insurance. He was also
a member of the Christian church,
and the widow is a member of the
same church. She lives in a small
home that belongs to w. F. Beard,
and the rent bill is Sc month. The
home is net supplied with gas, and
coal is used for fuel.
The woman is deserving in every
way of help. She has some bright
children and IS rearing them in q
manner that they will become useful
citizens. They are above the ordin-
airy in intelligence and industry. The
oldest boy is now working and re-
Ceives $40 a month, which is the on
ly income the family has.
By no means will this family be a
permanent charge on the town. The
woman is intelligent and industrious
and as soon as her health is recover
ed, she will be able to hoe her own
row and rear her children.
But she does need help for a few
weeks to keep her away from the
washtub. A dollar given to her will
