ROADS rHRouoA FORESTS.

One OF the few ways Of sunshine
which have shone from the present adj
ministration on the West radtates from
the report of Secretary Houston, of
the agricultural department. He has
taken pity on the sparse local popu-
lation of pioneer settlers who find them
selves surrounded by a wilderness
largely consisting of National forest
land He is the first executive Of
ficer in charge of National forests who
has taken cognizance OF the fact that,
as they pay no taxes and serve no
purpose toward developing the coun-
try" the government should construct
roads Unlike Clifford Pinchot, with
whom every settler is an object of
suspicion. Mr.. Houston regards set
tiers as ''the advance guard OF civiltza-
tion."
Mr.. Houston admits that the ma
tional forests are actually a burden on
residents In their vicinity, for, while
contributing nothing. they add to the
cost Of connecting settlements with
roads by interposing wide stretches Of
wild land through which highways must
be built. He proposes an appraiser emit
Of the forests and on that basis the
expenditure Of Government funds on
road construction. The cost would con-
stitute an advance to be refunded from
the IS per cent OF forest receipts al
ready allotted for roads and schools.
By making the National forests more
accessible, roads would render the tim
Der more readily marketable and would
thus hasten the day when the Cow
eminent would recoup the sums Of mon :
ey 1t advanced. The roads once built,
/ the annual Government contribution
to the road fund should suffice to
maintain. extend and improve the roads.
AS the policy of the Government is
to continue the forests as perma-
nent source Of timber supply, they
would yearly contribute to the roads
the allotted IS per cent of revenue
| 1t is cheering to see that the Gov
eminent is disposed to- recognize the
obligations of the position 1t has as
sumed as great landlord. -Oregonian

little he may amount to when at his
best, and 1t would not mention this
matter only that this young man who
has been In Idaho county but few
weeks has undertaken to instruct old
and responsible citizens of this coun-
ty, who have high standing as citizens
and honorable business men, just what
their department should be in regard
to matters in which they and the en-
tire county have financial interests and
in which the young man has none. and
that in doing so he has used unbecom-
ing language and attempted to hold
those respectable citizens up to ridi-
cule. The weight a mans statements
have with people who do not know
otherwise, depends largely upon his
own standing, and measured from that
standpoint, the effusive young KooslSia
editor certainly would not CUT much
ice, but 1t is necessary that the peo-
pie should know something of the repu-
tation he has established in the COM
munity which he is supposed to be
serving during the brief period he has
been there. that true estimate may
be made, and that injustice may not
be done either him or those whom he
would belittle. From this statement
from his temporary home, together
with the foolish actions OF the young
man since he has been in the county,
the conclusion is naturally reached that
his responsibility and reliability are
nil. Usually when a man goes into
a new community he tries to deport
himself in a manner to inspire re-
spect and confidence. If this young
man has tried to follow out this usual
course, and has made such a lamenta-
Bile failure of 1t in so brief period,
1t would look like there was not much
to build upon. However, should he

PRESIDENTS CHEERFUL OPTIMISM.

A Canadian newspaper of wide circu-
lation, in recent issue. referring to
what it calls the cheerful optimism OF
President Wilson in regard to war pos
sbiIties, predicts that the day will
come when the United States will have
to depend on something more than
"platitudes and perorations' for pro-
lection against the brutal covetousness
of less virtuous but more virile mill
tary nations. Our Canadian contem-
porary says:
Present Wilson's address to con-
gress seems to mean, In a sentence,
that he is mot to be stampeded into
apprehending war for the United States,
simply because the misguided nations
OF Europe, which lack our political
principles and institutions are actually
at war. This is very much the tone
which the Wilson school OF politicians
in Britain took a couple of years ago
when the Balkan nations were at war
What better could be expected of the
Balkans" they unctuously observed,
when we remember the unhappy Bal.
kans lack our political principles and
institutionsy' And today Britain Is
under the murderous ploughshare Of
war, while the Balkans stand aloof and
at peace.
Well, the United States is SOW
eregn nation. and II is privileged to
take that view Of the future II 1t is
willing to take the risks attending 1t
as well. But any nation is on highly
perilous ground which depends upon
the excellence of it's political princi-
pies and institutions" or any other
domestic virtues to protect 1t from
the hazards of outside attack. I'm
fortunately. domestic virtues, which do
not get themselves translated into pow
ers of self-defense, are Of little pro-
lection against the brutal covetousness
of less vlrtuous but more virile mill
tary nations.
President Wilson is a college man,
and he ought to know his history bet
ter than that. He ought to recall that
Greece was a far more cultured nation
than Rome. and yet Greece was crush
ed to the earth under the iron wheels
of Roman chariots. Rome in its turn.
went down before the northern barbar-
ians, for the simple reason that the
Romans had become enervated and had
forgotten how to fight
Our neighbors may be certain that
their time of testing will come, and
that their safety will then depend
not upon platitudes and perorations-
but upon weight OF armament and the
dread machinery OF war"

NORTH STOOD TOGETHER.

For one of the few times in the his.
tory of the state, the north has won
something by united effort Hereto
fore, whenever there was chance to
win something worth while, they scat
tered their forces like a flock of sheen
scared by a coyote, or like a pack Of
wolves that couldn't agree to anything
but to fight among themselves; and
they lost out with clock-work regular
ity. This time, the north was united
for speaker of the house and they
won. A. Fl. Conner, the new speaker,
Is capable legislator, and they can
be proud Of him. But they wouldn't
have had a smell at the Legislative
trough If they hadn't stayed together.
The one thing that has made possible
the ascendency Of a few political die
tators from the southeast has been
the fact that they had enough sense
to pull together. while the stronger
north ran amuck like wild men and
left them a clear field. 1t is not for
the good of the state to leave any
element or locality in undisputed con-
troll. This new independence of the
north is likely to prove the salvation
of the Republican party-and of the
state.
Many men who are at heart as good
as men can be. will develop into ty-
rants OF else lose their sense of ball
ance If given unbridled power. The
state would not want to be governed
by a northern oligarchy-but stiI, q
united north against a united south
would be better than IL only the one
was organized and the other was per-
petually a victim.-Richfield Recorder

NO FAVOR SHOWN TO FARMERS.

One great need of the West is an
ample supply of skilled farm labor
For lack of 1t crops have gone unhar-
vested or damaged by exposure to Mo-
vember storms. But when Senator Gron-
ma. of North Dakota, offered an amend
ment to the immigration bill permitting
farmers to import skilled labor, 1t was
rejected on the Recommendation of
Senator Smith, Of South Carolina. Mr..
Smith had the better of the vote. but
Senator McCumber had the better of
the argument when he said:
Now. II the Senator Is afraid OF
dumping the cheap labor of the old
countries upon our farms. let me say
that we are equally afraid of dumping
the cheap products produced by the
cheap labor OF the old countries into
this country. You throw down your
bars Of protection and you say that all
the food products produced anywhere
in the world may come into the United
States free, but at the same time you
say to the farmer who has to COM
pete with the entire world In his pro-
duce, I'VE do not intend to let you
get any labor to work your farm UNI
less you pay the price that is paid by
the protected manufacturer" and in
that is the great injustice.
! The farmer cannot bet enough mer
to work his farm and to harvset his
crops. What he does get is .the over

WITH The BRAKES oFF.

The great financier who heads the
treasury department of the United

year. Interesting, indeed, If true. II

argument is precisely like saying that
