handling of convicts, in fact this
newspaper believes that he is right
in this regard and in his position re-
garding capital punishment. In the
matter of his proposed good roads
iegislat zion, however, we do not agree.
This is one of the important, and,
at the same time, difficult questions
before the people of this nation.
Difficult because close observance has
shown that no two men exactly agree
regarding all the details of legisla-
ton and road construction. There
is probably as many ideas as there
are men to advocate them. But we
do not believe that to one man
should be entrusted the sole author
ity and guardianship over the i'm
mense sum which Vests road laws
would produce in this state. Nor is
this a reflection on the present gov
ernor. He will not always be chief
executive and the power which he
would enjoy under the provisions Of
his proposed law would, in time, be
transferred 20 other shoulders. The
building of roads should be divorced
as much as possible from politics
and the money appropriated by bond
issues or otherwise should be dis
bursed under the direction of a non
partisan board, selected from among
the known road experts and for their
fitness for the position.
One noticeable feature in connec-
tion with the criticisms of Vests
road legislation, however,
is that no other plan is offered, the
critics merely contenting themselves
with picking flaws in Vests ideas.
He is very poor critic who can anly
discover faults in the plans of 9TH
ers, without himself Offering a sub
stitute. We frankly confess that we
don't know much about road build
Ing as an abstract proposition; we
only know that the expenditure of
twenty millions of dollars of the |
funds of the people should not be |
alone to the authority of one
nan.
Aside from this Governor Vests |
'oad legislation may be all right but
lie should take more dignified man
ler of urging his ideas than in max
ng soap box buncombe speeches in
he streets of Portland

be doomed to remain until death in
Its mercy shall end all. In spite of
all this. and the fact that he Is as
practically cut of from the world
as though in the deepest dungeon,
the government, in whose service he
contracted the disease, only allows
his a pension of $40 per month; on
this meagre sum he cannot support
his family. He has asked for the ex-
treme pension, $72 per month, paid
only for total disability but, because
he is able to work." although he

PEELED to ask public charity. Medi-
cal men declare that leprosy is not

OF the home, leaving the doomed
man and his wretched family to ex-

and without even the help that comes
from eompanionship of their kind. |

brick business fronts. may now be

Information has been received
from a young Salem lad who ran
away from home last summer. He
| is in Canada and, in a letter to his
parents, declares that he has done
nothing he is ashamed Of His faith
er will urge his son to return and
he may come, but it is doubtful If he
will be satisfied. It's the wander
lust. You know, how it was with
Perkins the Printer" in that beau
tiful story, Mary James Pa" He
in June, when the world was green
and smiling, and all outdoors bask-
ed in the glorious sunshine. In the
leafy branches of the oak outside his
window, a "dippy dolldub bird"
perched and sang his thankfulness
just to be free and living in the sun
shine. Then the dolldub few away,
and Perkins the Printer watched
him. Over the smiling fields he soar
ed and was finally lost in the blue
distance where the heat waves dane
ed on the hillside. AS the man
watched the flight of the bird the
wanderlust came over him. He long
ed to be as free as the bird, privi-
legged to wander whittier he willed,
with none of the poky cares of busi-
ness to bother, just to drift as incli-
nation called on the unruffied sea of
his idle life. And so, he went. He
obeyed the call of the wanderlust
just as millions have done since the
flight of years began, and will con-
tinue to do, so long as spring comes, |
and the sun shines, and the world
calls to the plodder through the dim
blue distances, where the silvery
clouds raise their fieecy crests above
the encircling hills with promise of
other lands and other climes. There
are mighty few of us who have not
felt the call of the wanderlust, and
few who have not obeyed its insist
ent summons, at least once in their
ives. The call comes strongest in
he spring.
