(Romeo) Laf forty and deliberately puts himself on record, not only as a political fakir, a street, masher and a pursuer of school girls, but as a cheap liar. In explanation of his degeneracy, Afr. Laf forty wired as Jollows to tlie Urcgoman: "Three months ago I sent out about 100 gallerv cards, most of them going to Portland and a few to friends here in "Washington. In one case alone J sent a card to a young lady residing hero whom 1 had not met and stated that if she should have occasion to visit tho House gallery tha,t 1 hoped she would use the card. I also stated that 1 would feel honored to have an introduction to her sometime in tained." the futitre if agreeable to, her. That was all the letter con In the letter of apology to the girls' father, now made public, Laf forty denied having written the letter, which was in his own hand writing. The denial was as lollows: " 'The letter which was sent from my office last Sat urday to your daughter, Miss Florence Kubel. was not written with my knowledge or consent, but prepared by others in my office. "When T learned that same had been sent, T regretted it very much, and would before, this have taken steps to correct the matter if 1 could have thought of anything that I could have done that would not have further embarrassed the young lady. In his official explanation, Lafferty said: "The father of the young lady called, and after ex pressing surprise at seeing such a youthful representative, stated that he had supposed that I -was some elderly in dividual, ctnd had imagined that the letter was written in bad faith. ITe left my office apparently in the best of humor, and I have not seen him irom that day to this." S. .T. Kubel, the girl's father states: "When I called and confronted him with his letter, Laffertv told me with .much wringing of his hands and pleas for consideration that he did not write the letter, but that it had been writ ten bj one of the young men in his office. ITe said he would write me a letter of apology if T stayed in his office while he wrote." Kubel wrote Lafferty saying: "I do not care to have you visit me at my place and. generally speaking, my advice to you is to keep out of my wav altogether. You seem to think that the most serious phase of the publishing of this matter is only what af fects you and your prospects. From my standpoint, that side of the incident is of no importance whatever. But what is of importance is the unjust notoriety which will be given to my family through you. It is on this account alone that I have been anxious that your offense against common decency should not be given publicity. "There is just one point regarding which my mind is not entirely clear and that is just what satisfaction I will demand from you if the matter does become public prop erty, but you can rest assured that if I deem further con ference necessary, yon need not call at either my house or mv office. I will find von." In his official explanation, Laffertv savs that this Kubel letter was the product of his enemies. He saj's: "J held the letter up to the light and found the paper to be water-marked 'Mount TJood,' and that I had learned from Kellogg's Stationery Directory that this paper was manu factured for the J. K. Oill Company, of Portland, Ore. I stated that this led me to believe that Portland parties or their representatives had been instrumental in procur ing the letter to be written." The letter was written by Kubel on paper water mark ed "C. Mount Ilolly" and not "Mount Hood" as Laf ferty says. , Lafferty, in hisexplanation, says that E. D. Baldwin, former secretary to Congressman Ellis wanted the price qi' a ticket to Portland for suppressing the story. Baldwin denies the assertion. Lafferty now admits fuat Baldwin never made such a proposition to him and E. IT. Barrow, of the Portland Telegram, through whom Lafferty said the proposition was made, denies that Baldwin ever inti mated to him he wanted to "hold up" Lafferty, but on the contrary lias anvays been anxious ior publicity. In concluding his statement Mr. Kubel says: "I have been informed that Mr. Lafferty, in addition to writing the letter, on one or more occasions, walked down to the school which-my daughter was attending and watched her as she passed along the street." Evidently Lafferty 's real name is not Arthur W. as he once proclaimed, nor Amidou MV. as he later asserted, nor Abraham AV. "call me Abe, boys" as he said dur ing the campaign. The mysterious initial A. docs not stand either for Algernon nor Alfonso, but for Annanas, and as Annanias MV (Romeo) Lafferty he should be known to fame. even recalls had to be fought. The .same element, that fought pavement is naturally opposing good county roads. These aro the "opposing taxpayers," ' The reasons quoted lor opposition seem' childish. The counfy could spend $5,000,000 instead of $1,500,000 and then wouldn't havo highways enough. Apportionment of the funds ami roads lo be improved will be designated beforehand by the counfy court, so thai all will know what roads are to he improved, and where the money is to be spent, before the election. County roads about Ashland are in better shaue and have had, more work done upon them than in any other pornon oi tlie county. .Kor years most or the road work done by the county was in the vicinitv of Ashland Cen tral Point, Cold Hill, AVoodville, Eagle Point have all been negleetcd for the Ashland district in veal's gone by. Ashland will get its share of good roads under the bond issue. The progressive peoplo of Ashland are as much alive to the value of a system of permanent roads to Jackson county as any one is but they have no progressive news paper to voice tliem.

Weeks & McGowan Co THE ISIS THEATRE SENATOR FRYE OF MAINE DEAD Prominent Member of Old Guard uf Standpatters Passes Away Re cently Resigned as President of the Senate. ASHLAND AND GOOD ROADS. LKW1STON, Me.. Auk. I). William Pierce Frye lonj; United States .en,i- tor l'nim Mninc, died yesterday at the home of his daughter, SI is. Helen White. ' Death came suddenly. Frye was the ranking tueniher of tho senate havinj: served since .March 0, I8hl. His death Icaww Shelley Mcl'iillotn of Illinois as oldest in point of service C'ulliiiu has served since ISS3. The deatli of Frye renuncs ono of tho mont influential of the "old guard" from the senate. A few months aut he" resigned as president pro tern, siiiee when tlie majority has heen unable to agree on a man to take the office. Frye was n member of the clique-, headed by A Id rich of Uhodo island, that dominated legislnfion in (lie up per house. Ills death came as a shook to his friends, though it has been known tluif bis health lias not been the best. Senator Eugene Hale, who for ninny years mas a (olhnti.'uc of Frve, wns the most prominent stnndputlor to fall before tho wave of itwuiL'en- oy which uwept New England and tarried Ihe Pino Treo state into thu democratic column for the first tim' in many years. Confronted with the certainty of defeat, Halo declined Jo stand for re-election and thus avoided closing his long political ca reer with a defeat. Frye, on account of his personal affiliations and his less aggressive character, was not so bitterly oppoyed as was Hale, though thero is little doubt that with the democrats in power, ho would have been forced to light for his seat whon his present term expired. Charles F. Johnson a democrat, was elected to Halc' sent. The sud den death of Iryc means that the present democratic administration in tho present democratic admiuistra tion in the state will elect one of their party to office and that two demo crats Will represent Sfnina in tho senate. Frye was born in Lewiston, Sep tember 2. 18:10. Most of his Ufa has been spent in public office. Ho served in tho stato legislature, ns attorney general of Slainc nnd finally us con gressman.

King Street, ENGLISH DUKES SAIL TO SEE WESTERN CANADA AN Ashland paper, in discussing tlie proposed good roads bond issue says that Ashland tax payers arc. almost unanimous against it. "When asked for reasons they said they thought tho issue was too big; more than equld be actually expended upon the county roads in several yea is, and some express ed their doubt as to whether this end of the county would get its share of the appropriation, basing ttyeir assertion upon the, fact, so they declared that the county court hafj been neglecting the roads in this .end of the county in favor of those farther down the valley." Opposition is to be expected at Ashland from a cer tain mossback element that always opposes everything progressive, but this opposition is. not in the majority. On every public question there are a number at croakei-s who stand around the street corners of Ash land' and make a dismal noise and imagine they are it but they are not;. ' Every improvement Ashland has made and thev have been many during the past three years has been made only after a strenuous fight with this same element,' It has been defeated all along the line.
