has at the request of the Oregon Devel-
opment League condensed his ideas on
good roads into 100 words, and they
tell the story:
Bad roads nullify advertising, repel
immigration, increase cost of living,
render the automobile useless, and will
deprive the farmer Of rural free delivery.
State aid and supervision of road
construction is essential.
In equity because a public bene-
fit, state should pay Is per cent OF
the cost, county so per cent, and the
adjacent property 25 per cent.
For thoroughness - trained engi-
neers and strict supervision of all work.
For economy-levy taxes and pay
as we go, or on short time certificate
plan.
For education-regular and CORE
spondence courses in road building at
Oregon Agricultural College and Uni
versity of Oregon.

Mark Twain on Prohibition

Il am a friend OF temperance, and l
want it to succeed, but l don't think
prohibition is practical. The Germans,
you see, prevent it. Look at them;
they have just invented method of
making brandy out Of sawdust. Now
what chance will prohibition have when
a man can take rip saw and go out
and get drunk with a fence rail? What
is the good OF prohibition if a man is
able to make brandy mashes out of the
shingles on his roof, or if he can get
the delirium tremens by drinking the
legs off the kitchen table"
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-08-07
Newspapers of the State Favor Cosgrove

Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, of Pomeroy,
will be the Republican nominee for
governor of Washington if one can
Judge at all by the expression of the
newspaper men OF the state who at
tended the State Press Association at
Vancouver last week. Out of about
forty-fve Republican country editors
who were at Vancouver fully thirty
FIVE were outspoken for Cosgrove for
first choice, while there were a few
who were for him for second choice
candidate. Others present were city
reporters, democrats and publishers of
trade papers. An incomplete list has
been made up showing that OF the
country publishers of the state who
have expressed themselves more than
sixty are Cosgrove men for first choice.
There is no doubt but that when
returns are all in on the press
bunch for the whole state it will show
that the Pomeroy man is the popular
iavorite with the backing of from
seventy-fve to hundred editors of
country papers back Of him. The
point that seemed to be most strongly
fixed with the pencil pushers with
whom we talked was that it would be
a political mistake to nominate either
Mcbride or Mead for governor, owing
to the bitterness OF the factional fight
in the party between the men who
are leading the campaigns of those
men. The nomination Of Mr.. Cos
grove would eliminate this factional
fight. 1t would also mean a general
cleaning out of the political machines
that for years have controlled Wash
ington politics. Furthermore, the
country editors seemed impressed with
the feeling that they have an oppor-
tunity to show the politicians of the
state that they are factor to be
reckoned with, and that they can
make sure the success of candidate
from small county of the state out
side the control and dictation of the
large city politicians. Mr.. Cosgrove
is free and independent Of any or all
such factions, and of the entire bunch
OF candidates was by far the most pop
ular with the editors at the Vancouver
meeting"
