Good Roads and Population.

AT the root of all solutions Of the rural
life problem lies the question of good
roads 1t is absolutely fundamentally.
The man who seeks 10 persuade people
to settle on f rms which are shut off from
the world for half the year or more shows
his own lack of sense and offers them no
favors.
Ii requires only little reflection TO per-
ceive how closely the race suicide ques-
ton is related to the road problem.
With good results there would be an
immediate distribution of population
throughout the rural districts. Farming
would become economically valuable.
AS things are, farmers boys leave him
as fast as they become old enough to arm
wages in town. They will not remain in
the country under the forlorn conditions
which prevail What is the use of their
buying automobiles? They could not use
one if they had il except now and then in
midsummer. There is no society," no
access TO interesting meetings no life.
Existence in back-country districts with
out good roads is merely a living death.
One might as well be in the grave.
Ii is irritating To hear men like MIR.
Roosevelt talk about race suicide when
they ought 10 be talking about good
roads since these are the fundamental
remedy for it.-P0,hand Oyegoniaa.

Army of 27O, 900 deserves
Urged

By spending from six to ten million
dollars year, the United s ates can
have permanent reserve corps of 27o,-
600 trained soldiers thus putting the reg
ular army on strong war basis accord
ing to Major General Wood. Chief OF
Staff, who, before the House Com
mittee recently, opposed a biltchanging
the term OF enlistment from three to five
years, General Wood said his plan in
seven years would put the full reserve
strength of 27o, 600 men within call of
the War Department.
Characterizing disarmament as
dream of dreamers, he urged the
adoption of some practical scheme for
putting the couutry's military establish
ment on strong war basis notwith-
standing the persistent movement for
disarmament and permanent peace
through arbitration.
"We are never going to have time
again in the case of foreign war to
train men for service after an emergency
call" said General Wood. I'VE must
have reserve or we will get ikumped
the first year or two. 1t is my belief.

should be organized on the very simplest

NO CONTEST Of
STATE ELECTION
This Will Be the Decision Of
the Prohibition Executive
Committee.
NOBODY TO Be ENDORSED
The Committee VIII Not Give Its
Endorsement 10 Any Candidate
Tor Office = A State
Convention.


Staff Special to the Light
Dallas Texas, Sept 16-Briefly
summed up it may be stated as :.
certainty that the prohibitionists who
are in conference here today win not
endorse any candidate for any Of
flee, neither will there be a contest
of the recent state wide prohibition
election. This was practically decid
ed upon at the forenoon session of
the conference, which was called 10
meet here by Hon. Thos H Ball,
chairman of the state prohibition
executive committee.
There is a large attendance of pro-
hibitionists and enthusiasm is run
ming at high ebb SO far not thing
has occurred to mar the harmony OF
the meeting
The executive committee, of which
Mr.. Ball is chairman, met at 2
O'Clock for a business session.
The general opinion seems to pre-
vail that a big prohibition conven-
ton will be held some time this fall,
and it is planned to have delegates
present from every county in the
state. 1t is understood that the pur-
I pose of this convention is to agree
upon state ticket
/ The meeting this morning was ad
| dressed by DR.. G. c. Rankin. DIR
Gambren, Cone johnson and Mr
BAH. All spoke along the line as il,
Dictated above with reference to til
matter of holding state conventio
to nominate a candidate, for Unite
States senator and to select cdud
ates for state offices. II was argue
that this was not the time to endors
/ candidates for any office, but
. seems to be "A foregone conclusion
that not only Will Governor Coiq lit
/ have opposition. but that entire
state ticket will be placed before the
democratic voters of the state in the
July primaries.
Among the business matters to be
considered by the executive commit
tee is the question of whether there
shall be a contest of the recent state
wide prohibition election, The action
of the committee, of course, cannot
be anticipated, but from expressions
heard this morning it is SAFE to say
that any idea of filing a contest viii
be abandoned.
