ENGINEER LEWIS IS
VERY MUCH ON lob,
ORDERS REGARDLESS
Continues Active Charge OF
Highway Construction and
Directs Deputies

The resolution of the state hihgway
commission, drafted and adopted for
the express purpose Of eliminating state
Engineer Lewis completely from the
scheme of things and relegating him to
the background remotely in matters per
tanning to state highway construction,
to the contrary notwithstanding that
official is very much "on the job -
and is taking an active and leading
part in all matters coming before the
highway division Of the consolidated
state engineer and highway engineer
department. Furthermore he intends to
keep "pegging right along" and doing
bis duty, according to his and Attorney
General Browns Interpretation Of the
law, until q court Of competent jurisdic.
tiou tells him to quit and relieves him
Of the responsibilities which attach to
him under the ambiguous provisonis Of
the freak act which brought about the
condition Of chaos which exists.
He returned yesterday from Colum-
bia county, where he took charge of
the resumption Of road construction
work on the Columbia highway as head
Of the department, and although accom-
panied by Highway Engineer Cantine
the latter occupied the position of a
subordinate and deputy, Engineer Lew

ceived the contract for finishing the

well that the completion of good dirt
road, suitable for travel will be finished
through the county before fall.
He directed Highway Engineer Can
tine to 90 to Hood River county and to
make u survey and report upon the

ed at the mouth of the tunnel at Mitch
ell 5 Point on the Columbia highway,
He also has sent G, +. Ross, one of the

The nations in alliance against the central powers OF
Europe have directed their tme their treasure and their

cruisers and batteShps which correctly described as

with navy composed of modern ships has directed her
skill to the development of the submarine which has been

In the construction of air craft however the very re-
verse is true Of the contending forces The allies instead
of constructing large and unweldy air machines have
directed their energies and investments to the develop
ment of the flying machine comparatively small less eX

"AMERICANIZATION DAY"

movement to make July 4 a nationwide American
ization Day" and make it mean more to neWly-made
Americans and those in process OF making is last spread
ing throughout the country
The idea arose in Cleveland last year when "Sane
Fourth" committee gave patriotic reception to men ad-
mitted to citizenship in the course OF the preceding year
Frederick c.. Howe, commissioner OF immigration at
New York. has put up the idea to city officials every
where; and Dr. CaXtOn, federal commissioner OF educa
ton has sent letter to school superintendents suggest
ing the use of the public schools wherever possible as
fitting place for citizenship celebration designed to
emphasize the fact that all Americans, whether native or
bOm have common interests and common loyalty
Such an observance of the nations birthday peculiar
y appropriate at this time. MOmenOus events are de-
manding that all Americans must not only stand closely
together but must know what they stand on and what
they stand for.
Americansm means more than loyalty to a nation; it
means loyalty to humanity The real result of American
civilization is not the nation but the man. and the welfare
of the whole rests and demands the welfare Of all the
units of which humanity is composed
AmeTicanism is a new patriotism in the world, not
bounded by bordernes but broad the principles Of
honor and justice.
We are not merely race or people unto ourselves
seeking only our own aggrandizement as most other
nations are. We mixture made up of all the peoples
and all the of the world We have thrown off the
worst of the old worlds yrannies but have treasury of
her best traditions We know hereditary arstocracy
state church, hoary privilege entrenched in law no
hatreds embtteed by fasehOOd and greed no crush
ing debt in money nor in race-impoverishment
We have among us the best of the old worlds stock
of Drawn and brain. Our welfare and that of the old
world are bound up together We have nothing to gain
through her failures nothing to lose through her sue
We ask for conqUSsts those Of democracy
We assert no rights save those of worldwide humanity
Our presidents declarations have taught the world
to know us for this patriotism and this spirit Nav
