PEACE AND PANAMA.
Announcement of the purpose to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
peace between the North and the
South at Cincinnati In 1915 has met
-with enthusiastic approval. What
ever form the celebration may take,
It is certain that it will be of even
more than national Interest. The
welding of the warring sections into
'a compact and harmonious whole,
whose power and Importance is now
worldwide, was an event of sufficient
import to challenge the admiration
of all peoples. The celebration of
'the -anniversary of this important
epoch in the history of the United
'States compels not only the approba
tion and attention of her citizenship,
"but that of the world, whose history
and development have been so lar
gely influence thereby.
lt .has been suggested that, In
-view of the fact that the Panama
anal will more than likely be ap
proaching completion at that time,
tint celebration be made a dual one
hat of peace and progress. The sug
cgetsiion Is a good one. Let the na
tions of the world join us In celebrat
3ng two great achievements, that
3mve -meant and will mean so much
Mco the "progress and peace of all man
3dmi. By all means let the celebru
ition bp.tbat of Peace and Panama.
THIRTY YEARS IN "HADES.
There is a hell.
No doubt about that.
Charles Ilorzog of South Dakota
demonstrated its existence. lie suf
fered its pnugsivfor thirty years. lie
so testified In writing and sealed tho
testimony by his death;
'Tortured beyond endurance by re
imorse because he bad murdered n
beautiful girl and allowed an innocent
man to bo hanged for the crime, Iler
t.eog, After thirty years, wroto ifijis:
"When my lifeless body Is found

Ilcrzog of Girard, O. It will rovonl
my Identity and tho awful secret
of my wretched life. I can enduro
it no longer.
"THE AWFUL SECRET OF MY
MVRETCIIED LIFE."
Can you understand tho slgnlflcanco
of auch a confession? Certainly not.
.TJut It may give you some insight Into
' the aiwful agony of a liuinnn soul suf-
rlerlng the torments of the damned.
"I CAN ENDURE IT NO LONGER."
What exquisite mental torture, what
va world of henrt suffering, is bound up
tin that feeling we know as remorse!
This mnu literally lived nnd Buffered
tfor thirty years IN IIELL.
It Is not necessary that wo should
l&e told that he was moroso and

I hurdened his soul this man who enr-
iclcd about always on his conscience
tthe murder of n girl and tho death of
-an Innocent tramp upon whom ho
ehiirgod tho murder.
Doubtless his framo of mind Is de-
ocrlbed by the words that Milton puts
into the mouth of his Satan:
"Which wny 1 turn is boll. MYSELF
AM HELL."
A man can got away from tho so
ciety of other men, but ho caunot get
nwny from tho society of himself ei
ther In time or eternity.
Jonathan Edwards In his widest
sroach of imagining and with his ex
j&austless vocabulary could scarcely pic
ture a hell of literal ilro and brim
stone that would transcend tho 6toryof
the suffering of Charles Ilerzog.

HE IIP
IN CONTRACTS
Council Discovers It Has Not
Any Power Over Acceptance
of Street Work.
The controversy over the accept
ance of the Sixth street planking was
settled at the city council meeting
last night and incidentally quite a
stir was raised over the discovery
that the councilmen have not any
thing to say about the material or
work that contractors shall do. The
matter Is badly mixed up through
conflicting sections of the specifica
tions and the contracts which the
city has been using and enabled Con
tractors Byren and Erlckson and J.
E. Oren to politely tell the council
men that were wasting a lot of
words, time and energy over some
thing they had no authority to deal
with. Instead of being anxious to
arbitrate the alleged defective plank
paving, question as was broached by
Mr. Oren when the nuestibn was first
taken up last night, the council was
told that the contractors or the C.
A. Smith Lumber and Manufacturing
Company would not make any con
cessions and that the only thing far
the council to do was to pay for the
work. The council mildly acquiesc
ed, accepted the plank paving In
which hemlock plank had been used'
instead of the fir that the city' is sup
posed to have, and ordered the con
tractors paid in full.
Sandberg In It.
The, mixup resulted from City Enw
glneer Sandberg agreeing to the use
of hemlock instead of fir nlank ih
the paving. Mr. Sandberg said that
he merely agreed to the use of hein
Iock In case the property owners
agreed to it. Tho contractors in
timated that he simply agreed to the
use of hemlock Instead of fir.
Heretofore, the street committee
composed of Chairman Claude Nas-
burg and C&uncllmen Savage and
Sacchi have been wasting a lot of
shoe leather looking- over new side
walks and plank roadways thinking
they were to decide whether the work
was done satisfactorily. According
to the expose of the specifications,
contracts last nighc, the city engin
eer has the sole authority.
In bringing the matter up,. Mr.
Oren said that he had been requested
by Contractors Myren and HMckson
to appear before the council and trj-
and adjust tho Sixth street matter.
He said that he- felt as though tlnr
C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufactur
ing Company was partly responsible
as they had furnished tho material.
As to hemlock, lie said that the com
pany did not call it hemlock that
was known as "white fir." How-
over, rather than cause the contract
ors the bother of removing the white
fir, he would agree to guarantee the
white fir planks and In case any of
them decayed before tho regular fir,
they Would bo replaced without cost.
However, ho said he wished to call
tho council's attention to the specifi
cations which provided that the city
engineer had the right to aecept or
reject material and as he had. accept
ed the whlto fir or hemlock, he didn't
think It fair to the contractors to
reject It.
Some Warm Tilts.
This resulted In the contract and
specifications being read. When the
conflicting sections wero discovered.
somebody moved that the street bo
accepted with Mr. Orcn's guarantee.
Mr. Oren promptly refused to give
any guarantee, saying that the con
tractors had lived up to their agree
ment.
Councilman Sacchi expressed his
iro over tho mixup nnd declared that
he would see that tho contract and
specifications wero straightened out,
Mayor Straw said that ho didn't
know whether City Engineer Sand
berg was a competent Judgo of lum
bor.
Mr. Oren replied that ho thought
tho council and mayor would have
ascertained whether he was co'mpo-
tont to act before they hired him or
gavo him tho power that he has.
Tho discussion promised to become
decidedly warm when Mayor Straw
tried to turn tho matter Into a joko
by suggesting that they "ilro" Sand
berg. After making this suggestion,
Mayor Straw said ho didn't think tho
council had anything to say about tho
work nnd the motion to accept tho
Sixth street planking nnd to pay tho
contractors In full was carried.
Rebate to Two.
Tho protest of Eugene O'Connell
mndo a few weeks ago to an assess
ment for an intersection of Sixth and
IP streets was reported last night to
bo correct. Mr. O'Connoll's sharo of

Improved, the cost being; estimated nC
$10,518.10. This will mean an ex
pense of about $3.06 per front foot
for the property owners who are not
assessed foe the cost of intersections.
R. J. Montgomery, J. A- Matson
i and L. W. Shaw, the viewers on the
Baines streoti sewer, last nfght filed
their report with the council which
was accepted.
An Investigation was ordered to
see how $24.10 could be collected
from Henry Seugstacken as life un
paid portion of the assessment a
year or so ago to put crushed rock
on Front street. Contractor Small
who did the work wants his money.
Walter Condron was allowed! $300
on his Cedar stroet contract.
Mrs. Hermeda of Oakland, CaL,
was allowed a rebate of $2.50 ons her
sidewalk assessment.
Money was ordered transferred
from the B,' Cedar and Chestnut
street funds to the general funds to
reimburse the city for the englneer-
fing expense on the- Improvements.
Tom Rook filed a report on the
city's fire fighting equipment and the
fire and water committee were in
structed to have some minor repair"
work; that he recommended done.
Water Front Question.
Tire question of wlint the city co'ra"
cit should do towards improving the
water front was brought up Iat
night by F. E. Hague's- request for
permission to complete the shiT
which he started In the rear of the-
Pioneer Hardware. Councilman
Sacchi said that the city council
should take steps soon to- get tile'
water front in good' condition. As
Mr. Hague's shed was practically
completed before notice was served
on him that he must get a: permit, it
was- decfi&d to permit hfm to finish
it with the understanding- that he re-
imove it at any time the council may
sig order.
City Election Matters.
The probable changes in city onT-
rials was- discussed1 in connection;
with the? proposed teamsters ordin
ance. Councilman Sacchf moved titat
a- committee be appointed to confer
with the teamsters to draft an ordin
ance that would ue satisfactory to
the teumsters. Mityor Straw said
that ae? didn't know just who to ap
point as severaL changes might bo
made in city officials a the coming
election.
Sacchf said h didn't know attaut
that as Councilman Nasburg had
told1 him that he (Nasburg) would
make a hard fight for re-election:
Ffnally Messis. Nelson, Storage
and Sacchi were named as commit
tt to confer with tie teamsters and
draft an ordinance that will be ef
fective January 1.
Electric Ordinance.
Action on the proposed ordinance
to impose a license on electricians
was postponed until City Attorney
Farrin returns from Med ford.
Whether it shall be included In the
revised building; ordinanco- or made
a separate ordinance is being dls-r
cussed by the council now.
Bill Allowed.
Bills amounting to $1,QG3.4G wwre
