the picture privileges would prove 'to be

"I'll give a sum equal to 75 per oent of

Mr. Taylor then asked for time to com-

DISAGREES WITH THE EDITOR.
W. H. CvjYLE TALKS OF ' THINGS AS
HE SEES THEM.
To the citlsens: Noticing in this morn-
ings Capital the position of the editor
of th« Capital on voting bonds fur a
sewerage system. It maKt s m f««I that 1
should do what F did every week, while
In the wholesale grocery business. 1 Issu-
ed a small circular letter to my sales-
men each week, headed "Things as I see
Them." I think at this time as things
as I see them, are different from what th
editor see's thein, and posst l y different
from what others see them, but my object
in writing this is to have others see, as
I see.
As the republican caucuses are called
and the democrats soon wu. be, some one
of these nominations are equal to an
election. The first thing we should s «,
Is to what kind and style of men we
should place at the head of our city; my
sty.o of a man would be a man who had
opinions of his own against the world,
and the back-bone to carry them Into ex-
ecution. To more fully explain my mean-
ing of that man, I would quote the style
of a man like our late president, Grover
Cleveland, who had the back-bone to say,
One standard for tho world, through my
/hole party Is against It."
The reason I think that this style of a
nan should be at the head, Is that each
ouncilman is elected without any com-
pensation for his services, and usually to
further some pet scheme of
his own or his neighbors. This is
fully Illustrated In tho location of slde-
alks, electric lights, contracts for side-
■alks, etc., there is not a year passes
that an ordinance Is not passed for slde-
alks, where the city would bo ob.lged
to put in hundreds of dollars worth of
rosslngs .that Is enough taken into con-
sideration, ti man at tho head should Is-
a man with the nerve to say "It 1s wrong"
and say "Gentlemen, It is not for the pub-
He good."
second thing I see Is a levy mado
for the park purposes, 1 suppose th© rea-
son we made this levy for park purposes,
that the people of this city could
have fresh air,I do not know at this time
what tho levy amounted to but I do
snow that one hundred and forty odd dol-
lars were expended on the park in tho
NortheuM quarter of tho city last year.
This may have been the proper thing to do
but 1 do not think so, I do not believe
tnat one per cent of the cltlaens of the
city -.now that the money was expended
or could find it if they went to look for
it.
The purk Is nothing now. but a big
gulch and a large stone-quarry.
Last but not least thing 1 see Is tho
propoal.'^n to arote bonds for sewerage.
The city now has expended about ono
hundred dollars in drawing plans for
sewerage. They say tho people ask this,
and the editor says we need it.
1 have called on the city officials to tell
me the tax-payers who want sewerage
and they were not able to name any.
Some say that we ure going to use these
seworago bonds to Improve the water
works system, then why not call things
by t..e right names, and say,"It is bonds
to expend on and improve the water
works." herein again comes the place
where a head of a city government should
be a man with back-bone
Every year there Is a little money ex-
pended for an opinion of some councilman
who assures them before he asks thorn
to do It, that he don't know any thing
about it.
The health of the city is good. If not
better than any cVty In the territory. It
nas better natural dranlage than any
cly In the territory, then why this great
hurry about sewerage? It Is true It would
give a few days laiHor to our laboring
people but It Is also true that Instead of
being a source of Income, It would be a
source of outlay to our cltlaens. Every
year besides paying the principal the In-
terest is to pay. which wouiu . e $225 per
month. I do not be.ieve that the scaven-
ger earns five hundred dollars per year,
but 1 am certain, for this amount he
would keep the city In v ry nice shipe.
Another reason that we should not vote
these bonds a' this time: Let us be on
a more solid foundation before we go to
puttlnu on airs. We need one or two rail-
roads and If you are not calleu upon this
summer to subscribe and pay your part
to fifty thousand dollars for one of them,
you may be certain thnt n a year or two
there will not be near so many of us In
this city to use sewers.
1 would furth r say If there is any ail
vancf-ment of the sewer system. e\> it
the men who want the contract. I think
the proper thing to do would be t i .
a public met ting so both s «V 4 th
proposition could be thoroughly dlscu- <!
and not vote ourselves lnt > debt forty-
flve thousand dollars without kn win
what w are doing.

(Prof. S. A. Kniapp whom the depart-
ment of agriculture sent on a mission to
the Philippines, to mako a special study
•of the soil and seeds of tho fat* east, with
a view to enriching our own farm pro-
ducts and establishing n°w inlu.-*tries In
the Orient, has Just roturnel to America
well satisfied with the rem' * ot his trip.
In the following article Pro. Knapp re-
ports the outcome o fhis cistern trip.)
Washington, D. C., March 15.—I was
sent to Japan, China and the Philippines
solely In the Interests of agriculture. It
was a pleasant trip to me hilt It was un-
dertaken primarily for business reasons,
and the pleasure I derived from It was
a secondary consideration. My i instruc-
tions from the department of the agricul-
ture were:
1. To secure such seeds and plan's s§
would be of economic value to our peop;o.
2. To Inquire Into the conditions of
trade affecting our agricultural products
inthose countries and to promote them in
every way possible.
I would like to say here that I fount
no hostility to the Introduction of Amer-
ican farm products in the Orient; on the
other hand in Japan und China there was
a manifest friendship for the United
States and It only requires oropw t>Men-
tion to secure a large share of the com-
merce of these countries. Japan has made
marvelous strides towards the highest
civilisation and many of her utatemen
are among the most enlightened and lib-
eral in the world. Japan is not only
shaping her course along wis*} lines but
1s one of the most potent factors In ill
of the problems of the east. In language
and religion she Is closely relied to Otrlna
The exceeding friendliness of the people
Japan for the United States Is shown on
every occasion. Any tribute or commen-
dation to the United States made before
an audience Is sure of applause. Th's
renders It. easy to extend American trade
along all lines, but our flour, cotton, lum-
ber and cheese are .In special demand,
and will be further sought to meet the
growing necessities of the Japanese.
The Philippines are the center of at-
traction and I am glad to report, coming
direct, from the Islands and after study-
ing carefully the agricultural oond'clom
there that they are rich In undev*lo.r d
wealth, and offer almost an unlimited
field for vigtlent and hard wonting Aiinr-
Icans to make money. The ioll Is ex-
ceedingly fertile and the climate unsur
passed. Agrlcu'ture will thrive when t'he
government become staple. The Islands
abound In mnghony and other valuable
timber. A section of a mahogany tree 7
feet In diameter* from Mindanao to Consul
Williams at Mill-la. Con1. Iron and ripper
are abundant. With peace and ability to,
purchase the Flllpiq(bs will became large
consumers of American exports.
At present agricultural methods are of ;
the most primitive character and it will
be many years before they will export
largely any products except poasinly to-
bacco. 'hemp and sugar. American farm
ers who go to the Philippines will find a
clear field for the profitable growth cf
products. The practical agriculturist of
his country will take complete possession
of these Islands, sweeping away the an-
| dent implements arid the alow methods
1 and doubling and trebling 'the agricult-
ural output 1n a short time.
I do not think that the present 1nsur-
[ rection will be long lived, as Aguinaldo'a
i strength has been overestimated. There
j are many products <>f the American farm
that will thrive In the far east. And a
large number of seeds and plants that can
be added to the country R'ce seed *tvat f
have brought back with me 1* much sup-
erior to that used by our southern plant-
ers as are also several forage p'ants and
fruit trees.
I have arranged to ship samples of some
' of our own products 'that 1 think will
thrive In the far east, and t'he department
of agriculture wHI have an interesting re-
port to make when these new products
, have been tested. If they prove a suc-
cess the result will be of inestimable val-
ue to our agricultural classes.
With regard to my experience in the
east I found traveling in Japan to o? ex
c. i ding iv attractive owing to the great
I tuty .<f the scenery and the great cour-
t( \ of the people, i" towns and cities
tmfrequer:ed by travelers the effort lo
plea• e is so marked th.: the traveler
rarely falls to be satisfied.

food look iik« American cooking was lud-
icrous. 8oine dishes appeared like Amct-
H-an rooking but what peculiar sulMUIt-
ces entered into their composition no mf r

The Japeneae do not like to be compli-
mented upon their politeness but up n
their solid attainments and their progress
in the Ikighwuy of nations. The empeutf
of Jupan deserves to be cal'ei "great"
and the "father of his pernio" because
he has accomplished moro change# tor

history of the world.

one-one-hundreth of the population and
soil yields a tirade of $270,000,000 annually,
what will bo tho trade when all China is
safe and open for commerce. The atl-
tude of the Chinese to their own govern-
ment 1s more of antagonism than apathy.

To a Brotlier-in-
l<aw.
Thomasville, Or., March 14—The presi-
dent rested today. He enjoyed the first :
complete day's relaxation from the cares j
of office or the fatigues of travel that he
has had In many months. No politician !
came to see him on matters of legislative
administration, party policy or public of-
fice. The residents of Thomasville respect- I
ed his wish that he should be free from
callers or factions and the few things of
a personal nature which It was necessary
he should attend to were quickly dis-
patched. All details of the government's
business are being attended in Washing-
ton. und only matters of policy that pos-
sibly may develop will be laid before the
president today.
The opinion of the people of Thomasville
Is that Mr. McKlnlcy is in need of actual
rest and ho is beginning to take it. They
remember him as he was four years ago
when in Thomasville prior to his nomina-
tion. They do not think he looks sick to-
day but all of htose who s.tw much of
him then say his appeeraneve £oes not
evidence the huouant, alert look and
strength of that time.
He looks tired nnd fagged.
This morning Senator Hanna took his
guests on a carriage drive about five j
miles from town to the country home of I
Mr. Wyman Jones, the senator's brother-
in-law. The weather was mild, a good
breeze was stirring through the pines and
the gathering clouds that in the afternoon
resulted In a rain shower, shielded the
party from the sun. The president enjoy-
ed the ride and his brightness on his re-
turn showed that It had done him good.
The party was home for lunch and soon
afterward the president went to bed for
the afternoon. After dinner Senator Han-
na and his guests chatted for a while and
the president retired early.

litary governor, on Sunday, among the
rocks on the shore, about tour ml.es west
of El Morro, and by him identified as thos
of the Spanish admiral Vlllimal, are not
the remains of that officer, the depart-
ment is endeavoring to ascertain beyond
a doubt whether General Woods identi-
fication was accurrate. Thus far. every-
thing goes to show that, If notthose of
Admiral Vlllimal, the remains are un-
doubtedly those of some high officer. Tho
uniform Is that of a squadron commander.

Today the republican primary elections
takes place. At this election will be chos-
en the next officials who will look after
the extensive and minor interests ot prog-
ressive Guthrie. Every republican in the
city should without f.'il turn out and iend
his vote ta the selection of the very geat
men for tho different city officers, select-
ing only those whom he believes will make
the most efficient officers. If this Is done,
there is :to question but what every re-
publican In the city will be perfectly sat-
isfied with tho way he voted on primary
day.
The most important eUsotlon or conven-
tion that is ever held to select officials
of whatever degree is the primary work.
Here Is where the first steps of good or
bad government or administration of of-
fice commence. Good men selected at pri-
mary elections always result in good ad-
ministration of office. Every one then is
satisfied that he did his best for the best
Interests of his town or his county. There
are never any misunderstandings and
things move smoothly on.
Some may have the misunderstanding
that the sewerage question will be up to-
morrow, but this Is a wrong Impression
for It is not to be brought up until the
regular city election, but much depends
upon the result of today's Action, that
will be of great benefit to tho city sew-
erage question. The city, in order to be
first class and rank with the leading cities
of the west and south must be progress-
ive. To be progressive means to have a
first class system of sewerage and when
It can be constructed without one cent
additional Increase to the taxes of the
citizens It is reasonable to argue that the
city should have it at once.
