He "RUSHES IN
WHERE ANGLES
FEAR TO TREAD"

New York, Sept. 7.--Nominally
avoiding specific comment on the ar
bitration treaties with Great Britain
and France, former President Roose-
welt, in the Outlook, today protests
against the United States being a
party to peace pacts involving nation
al honor. Roosevelt, in part, says:
General arbitration treaties can
only be promises. Appealing espe-
cially to sentimentalists who are nev-
er safe adyisersI their importance
is usually exaggerated to a ludicrous
degree. The really important thing
is the practical application of a prin-
ciple to specific instances.
Most men who are willing to
think know that the country would
not, as a matter of fact, keep an
agreement to arbitrate question of
vital honor and interest, even though
the country was so unwise as to make
it, 1t is a wicked thing to put us in
a position of promising what will not
and cannot be performed.
True lovers of peace, who have
really helped the peace movement on
ward have been those who, following
in the footsteps of Washington and
Lincoln, have stood for righteousness
as the supreme end Of national life. !"

BITULITHIC
POPULAR AS
A PAVEMENT.

The city of Portland has bitulithic
pavement on Burnside street that has
been laid for nine years. 1t is as
good today as when put down.
Speaking of giving a guarantee on
their work one of the firm of the
Warren Construction company said
ii was of no consequence, as the ex-
pense of creating waterproof SER
vice was very small 1t was just the
same as repainting a house every few
years. The principal streets OF Sa-
lem have been given this waterproof
coating this year, and they we're
sanded, making the streets as good
as new, and renewing their life al
most indefinitely.
This new coating of waterproofing
was put on the streets at Salem where
there is no guarantee to maintain the
street, and the bitulithic company
was not required to go to this eX-
pense but the expense is very small,
and they Seem glad to do the work.
In Portland bitulithic paving is so
popular that It is no longer ordered
by the block. Orders for new btu
lithic streets extend into the miles,
and a single contract for 20 or 80
miles is nothing unusual. Nearly all
the finest residence streets in Salem
are paved with bitulithic as the de-
liberate choice of the property own
ers, after seeing and trying other
forms of pavement. The same can be
said of Corvallis, Albany, Woodburn,
Hilsboro, Forest Grove, McMinnville,
La Grande, Baker City, Ashland,
Grants Pass and klamath Falls

Astoria is getting genuinely moral.
Yesterday it fired its chief of police
for collecting money from women in
the red light, which he turned into
the city treasury. The council and
mayor were horrifed-but they kept
the money.
Mayor Lachmund is somewhat exL
plosive but not dangerous. He criti-
cizes the Journal for publishing the
substance of the complaint in a
civil action. The Journal will pur-
sue the even tenor of its way and
travel the same road. that is If the
dynamic mayor doesn't blow out the
culverts and bridges.
Senator Bailey, of Texas. will not
