Masking for Health.
TO ninkc a bad matter woio comes Congressman A. AY.
(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.

certainty of defeat, Halo declined Jo
stand for re-election and thus
avoided closing his long political ca

of his personal affiliations and his
less aggressive character, was not so
bitterly oppoyed as was Hale, though

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.
