SAN FRANCISCO. July 4.-Portland
shut out Oakland today, winning the
morning game by a score of 10 to
and the afternoon, to 1.
The defeat OF Oakland in the morn
ing game was due to the poor control of
Christian. Up to the seventh inning
Tonneson was pitching good bali and
had allowed Portland but three runs
and five hits. In the eighth Christian
went in and gave the visitors seven
hits and seven runs.
Portland's victory in the afternoon

errors. Scores:

GOOD ROADS TO COST NOTHING.
Governor CrOthGrs Says Tax VIII Not
Be Increased.

Governor Crothers, since the publi-
cation OF the figures showing the in
creased revenue he hopes to bring into
the State Treasury as we'll as the
amount of the States money he ex-
poets to save next year. has received
number Of inquiries from county
people as to whether he meant that
with money enough saved to pay OF
the present $5.000,000 road loan with
out imposing a cent In the way Of d.
rect taxation upon the masses OF the
people. another road loan of $1,000
900, 100000 OF which would be
spent in Baltimore city, would be feas-
ibie at once.
In answering this question yester-
day. the Governor said:
II did mean exactly that. or course.
no one wants another loan before we
have expanded the one we now have.
The law provides that We cannot
spend more than a million year OF
this loan, so that II will take at least
five years to get through with the
present money available for road
purposes. When this Is done. how
ever. ] believe II will be- seen that Il
has cost the people not one cent; that
their taxes have not been increased a
cent, and that the benefits will be 80
great that they will be ready and will
ing for another 100000 loan 10 still
further carry on the good work In the
same way.
II Will have nothing 10 do with tho
next loan. That will come under the
Governor who follows my administra-
ton. but believe that II will come
Just the same. and that the people,
when they realize that 1000, 900 has
been spent without their feeling the
burden. will be eager for another loan
urder the same conditions.
The only people who will pay for
this loan OF ours now are the men who
drink whisky. who ride In automobiles
and who Inherit fortunes which lhsy
do not earn themselves do not
think yon will hear any very siren
Ous objections from the masses OF the
people about letting these three
classes pay for their roadH. The rev
enue 10 pay Interest Gu and redeem

COME from the Increased liquor "
censer. the automobile tax and the
collateral inheritance tax, which has
been doubled within the last year aud
may be put sill higher next year !
do not think these classes viii kick
about what burdens are placed upon
them, realizing that they are only just,
and | am certain The people who do
not drink whisky. ride In automobiles
or inherit fortunes they do not earn,

Virtue and Vice.

Moralists who tell us that virtue and
vice are only relative terms. have not
followed the news closely. Were Wr-
tue only a harmless vice, and vice a
pleasant virtue, we should find each
following common fundamental law.
But the facts point the other way.
The woes OF the Cigar Manufacturers
and Dealers League demonstrate that
wickedness Is vertebrate; whereas vir-
tue, like the earthworm, lives on when
part of her is gone. A man can be
alertly virtuous In the matter of pay
Ing his grocer, and yet morally dead
when promoting gold mine. But, II
you take a wicked citizen and STAY
one Of his bad habits, all the others
wither. For instance. when Georgia
throttled the Demon Rum by locking
up her saloons, Lady Nicotine went
into decline, and is now almost
ready for burial The President OF the
Cigarmakers' International Union says
that his Georgia local union held It's
charter only few weeks after Pro-
hibition. At Macon, the union dwin-
died to one man. A Southerner who
