PATIENCE A VIRTUE.

Impatience is a natural condition
when the public is awaiting develop
ment of any proposition that has a
vital influence upon the life and be-
ing of the community. Great pro-
iects, and the building Of the rail-
road from Grants Pass to the sea is a
great project, require time in their
development, and those who may not
be intimately in touch with those
developments, breed impatience and
sometimes suspicion.
why don't those people show
their good faith by signing the con-
tracts with the city?" is a query oft
heard about the town, when, as
matter of fact, little quiet thinking
would answer the query for itself.
The contracts ave been approved in
their essentials by the members of
the construction company as they
were drafted under the authority of
the public utilities commission and
the city council. But the signing of
the contracts involves the purchase
of the municipal bond issue, and men
of business foresight do not usually
place their names TO contracts that
are involved in contingencies. The
supreme court is yet to pass upon the
legality of the issue, and should the
decision be adverse the contract in
which they were involved might just
as well be unsigned till the tangle
could be Strengthened. Men like
Lotus and Stone and Shepard and
Beckman and the others who are
backing and financing the construc-
tlon company are of the simon pure
brand of business men, as their pre-
vious success has shown, and they
do not jeopardize the interests which
they are supporting by undue haste
or by making move till they have
become assured that they are moving
in the right direction. There are a
great many details, multitude of es-
sential features, that must be con-
sidered, and contingencies arise that
had not been seen when the plan of
action was laid. All these cause de-
lay that to the layman are unwar-
ranted but that to the man who
knows simply indicate business judg-
met and prudence.
With due patience for the progress
Of affairs where others are concern
ed and with the proper degree of
hustle and boost in the part that
falls to each of us individually. we
will soon find that we are riding sea-
ward over "the road that Grants Pass
built"

quence the meat production has de-
creased till now the United States
has TO depend on Australia and South
America for 80 per cent of its meat
supply. A wisely administered sys-
tenn Of rural credits will go a long
way toward bringing back the bal
anee between meat production and
meat consumption.

MEXICAN SITUATION ACUTE.

The situation at Mexico City be-
comes hourly more strained, and a
close study of conditions and watch
OF developments would indicate that
hostilities between the southern re-
public and the United States were
near at hand. Under the Monroe
doctrine the powers naturally expect
that this country will accept the re-
sponsibility in Mexico, and they
have already put 1t up to the admin
istration to take action. Matters
will certainly come to a head with
the arrival of Mr.. Lind, and the bat
tleship upon which he is sailing has
been slowed down to delay the ar
rival of the presidents emissary at
the seat of trouble. This delay was
undoubtedly for the purpose of per-
fecting further details Of the negoti-
atlons, and the fear that Llnd's ar
rival would precipitate war. Huerta.
has said that he would deem the
coming OF Lind In advance OF the
recognition OF the Huerta regime as
unwarranted interference. In view
OF the temper OF the Mexicans Lind's
reception will probably be such that
Uncle Sam will have to come to his
rescue.
The mission OF DiaE to Japan Is
seemingly enshrouded in mysery
tor It is a ti, absurd to bsleye that
the general would leave Mexico with
developments coming as fast as they
are now, simply to thank the Jap
nation for participation In an exposi-
tlon that Ia three years back in his

but the United States would certain
ly have to resent an attempt on the
part Of the Japs to obtain a war foot
ing here. This feature will probably
hasten developments with the diplo-
mats Of the United States, and sum-
mary action can be expected.

LIQUOR DEALERS
ON ANXIOUS BENCH
Disturbed by Decision Asserting
Right Of State to Prohibit
Importation.
OPINION BY JUDGE GARY
South Carolina Chief Justice Says
Webb Act Divcsts Liquor Of
Interstate Character.
OPINION BY JUDGE GARY :

Richmond liquor interests despite
Chief Justice Gary's decision in South
Carolina last week declaring the Webb
signmcnts OF LIQUOR from another
State for personal USE are still on tho
anxious bench. The uneasincss arises
from tho fact that Judge Gary in tho
same decision asserts the right of each
State, under the webb act. to prohibit
absolutely the Importation OF intoxi-
eating liquors.
such a statute would not contra
vene any provision of tho United States
Constitution" holds Judge Gary. The
recent act OF Congress divests intoXi-
eating liquors of their interstate com
merce character, and invests the re-
spectiVe States with power, either to
pfohlbit the Importation absolutely or
TO allow 1t only for sale and use
through "a dispensary. The classified
tlon OF 'i.e counties so as to
allow the sale OF liquor in some
of them while II Is not permitted in
others. would not violate Section 1, of
the fourteenth amendment OF the Con-
sttuuon OF the United states, which
provides that no State shall deny to
any person In its jurisdiction the full
protection OF the laws"
Dealers Deeply Interested.
Dealers in this city are deeply inter-
ested in the construction that will be
placed on Judge Gary's decision by
other courts. The South Carolina sit
uation reached an acute stage last
March when the local office of the
Southern Express Company declined
longer TO accept liquor shipments for
points in that state. Injunction pro-
ceedings were begun by II Clarke &

OF tho Richmond dealers In the pro-

tional before tho Webb act withdraw
Ing the section of the interstate com

statute could not be vitalized by the
passage of the Webb law
ut was not the intention of the

Ito interfere with the policy OF the
state in regard to the Importation of
liquor. but merely to provide that tho
enforcement Of State statute should
not BIO interfered with. or hampered.
q.
other words. the act in this respect Is
passive, while 1t is incumbent upon the
state to enact legislation of an active
nature If they desire TO prohibit the
Importation OF liquor for personal use
or other purposes"
AS the matter stands now. tho Su-
premc Court of South Carolina. through
its Chief Justice and Associate Justices
Woods. Hydrick and Watts. has declared
that although tho Webb act cannot
validate tho old dispensary law pro-
hibiting importation. the State has a
right to prohibit importation by q new
statute. The right is based on the
claim that the Webb act has divested
liquor shipments of their Interstate
character. and that they therefore may
be barred by the State like any other
commodity OF commerce. A dissenting
opinion is held by Associate Justice
Fraser of tho Same court.
with the Supreme Court behind IL,
IL Will not be surprising that tho anti
liquor interests OF South Carolina Will
urge the next Legislature TO enact a law
prohibiting Importation of liquor for
any purpose whatever Such law
would have serious import for local
shipping interests that do a large vol
ume of busineGs with South Carolina.
