Universal complaint is made that
county road improvements in the
outside districts are not made in a
substantial manner, but that they
must be repeated every year. with
increasing cost to the people. In
many places the roads are not sur
veyed nor located and as new claims
are located the roads are changed
and must be constantly rebuilt This
method of managing county roads
has prevailed in all Eastern Oregon
counties since they were first organ
lied, but it is ruinously wasteful
Enough money is absolutely wasted
each year in temporary repairs to
pay for the survey and permanent
location of roads. If they were once
located by the proper authority, then
permanent and substantial improve
ments could be made.

DEMOCRATIC HOPES.

From the overwhelming and bewil-
dering profusion of republican votes
fust cast for a president, it would
seem that a strong imagination-al-
most an X-ray IN its penetration-is
necessary to see any democratic hope
for the future, unless democratic
statesmen place democracy on a
plane that will more readily appeal
10 the people.
That democracy is founded upon
sertain fundamental principles of
government, which will not perish
aor decay as long as free government
exists, is admitted. But democracy
Is nothing, If 1t is not flexible-if 1t
can't adjust itself to the changing
needs of the people.
Because Thomas jefferson laid
down a beautiful and simple code of
government 100 years ago, is no rea-
son that democrats of today should
go down to defeat continually in try
ing to enforce that same old code in
the goth century.
The underlying principles are yet
alive and pregnant with meaning,
but; they must be adjusted to the
economic demands of $4,000, 900 peo-
pie, expanded territory and multiplied
commercial interests. The success of
the republican party is due to the
fact that it holds it's ear to the ground
and catching the trend of public SEN
fiment, makes policy to meet and
fuifill the popular demand.
The reason of democratic failure
is that an appeal is made to the peo-
pie from a standpoint that does not
attract them today. The party must
get its ear to the ground, and after
listening to the popular demands.
meet that demand and keep a step in
advance of it.
II would be a ludicrous sight to
see modern democrats dressed in the
knee pants, silver buckles, velvet coat
and cooked hat of Thomas Jefferson's $
day.
1t is scarcely less ludicrous to see
them wearing the mental and polit-
ieal habiliments of jefferson amid
10th century splendors of progress
and expansion. Democracy is moth
ing II 1t is not flexible. 1t is moth
ing IL 1t does not keep pace with the
unfolding emergencies of the times.
There is mission for the right
Kind of democracy. BY striking the
right keynote, the democrats can rail-
~ to their banner all the scattered
reform forces and thousands of re-
ppblicans who are dissatisfied.
But democrats can't accomplish
this by speaking from the Thomas
jefferson pedestal. Times have been
changed by the growth of the nation.
A platform demanding government
ownership of the great public utili-
ties will bring the scattered reform
forces together-it is the hope of
democracy.
II the democrats don't adopt this
advance policy the republicans will
do so, soon, and win on 1t, as usual

Wooes Girl: Meds Mama.

A year ago Frank Green OF Say
vile, N. Y, began to visit the family
of Mrs. Emma Baker, widow of the
late Captain Simms Baker of the
United States live-saving service, says
the Philadelphia North American.
Young Green, who was but 81
years old, was attentive to the hand
some daughter of the widow. The
girl refused him and the lad sought
the mother of the girl for sympathy
He got the sympathy and soon dis
covered that 1t was the widow that
he was most in love with and he pro-
posed.
She asked the boy to wait one
year. He did SO, and last evening the
42-year-old widow Baker and the 22-
year-old lad were married.
