All Brunswick viii be interested in
the plans for the highway boosters of
Waycross in getting a good roadway
from that city to this. Besides offer
ing a desirable quick route inland for

ly be the means of bringing many hun
dreds Of car owners in that section to
Brunswick for single day trips through
the summer months especially.
The following dispatch was sent out

Highway boosters Of this section,
enthused by the success of the cam
paign TO get hard-surfaced road be-
tween Macon and Waycross, with
pledges of a continuation on to Jack

county portion of the various roads
being paved as rapidly as possible the
next few months will actually show
a good beginning on every project
The uncompleted work on the Cen

the new proposition tackled without
further delay. One of the county

~ OIL. JOHN S. MOSBY
u was a military aviator Of
the Civil War period,
That is, he was as close an APP
proximation to the fighters Of
the air as was possible at the
time of the warfare in which
he participated. From the
lower plane of a saddle he per-
formed prodigies in scouting
and in other independent SER
vice scarcely surpassed by those
who patrol or give battle in
marvellous devices from the
plane of the clouds.
A cultured man of engag-
ing qualities, he found some of
his most sincere admirers am
ong the enemy, who once held
him in such detestation that
they designed hanging him
when captured. The SOuth's
wonderful mobilization of its
military resources drew to its
defense many men of whom he
was a type. Until nearly 28
years of age, he had been a
lawyer and scholar to whom
the practical problems of sol.
dering were almost unknown.
How was the South able to
transform him and many other
men of like peaceful careers
into men of prompt decision,
quick action, resOurcefulness
in adopting means to ends, and
an almost unerring capacity
for doing the right thing at the
right time-in short into men
with almost ideal qualities for
command? How also was she
able to transform men OF
peaceful pursuits into a peer.
less rank and file? For this
transformation of men at the
call of patriotism was ever
more remarkable in the South
which fought against great
odds, than in the North.
When we have learned the
South's secret of discovering
and utilizing Mosbys among it'
unprepared masses, we shall
have learned a valuable lessor
in preparedness.-St. Louis

WILSON'S RECORD

NNN HAT honest issue can
w be raised against the
reelection Of President
Wilson and the continuation of
his party in power?
With Germany having yield
ed 10 the demands Of the Am
erican government, conceding
all the points raised by Presi-
dent Wilson in defense Of Am
erican rights and for the up
holding Of American honor,
can there be any question Of
the efficacy Of the handling Of
foreign affairs?
Will the republican party
contend that despite the fact
that President Wilson won a
great diplomatic victory, not
merely for the people Of the
United States. but for civiliza-
ton itself, this country never
theless should have gone 10
war with Germany?
When President Wilson gave
the order for the American
troops 10 enter Mexico 10 breaR
up the bandit bands which had
been causing the loss Of life
and property along the bord-
er. the republican leaders in
congress applauded the firm
sction that was taken. II was

MILLIONS FOR OREGON

~ HE senate and house con-
VI ferees have voted to give
Oregon so per cent of
the land grant money, % per
cent going to the irreducible
school fund and 25 per cent to
land grant counties for roads
and port districts.
The senate has already pass
ed the bill as recommended in
conference and the house is
expected to take similar action
today.
This means that of the forty
millions anticipated from the
land grant property Oregon
people get the benefit of twen-
ty million. Of the remaining
money four fifths goes to the
reclamation fund and one fifth
to the general government. The
Southern Pacific will get mere
ly the $3.50 per acre decreed
by the supreme court.
The Oregon delegation is en-
titled to congratulations upon
its good work. In the final
struggle Senator Lane was
found Loyalty working with
Senator Chamberlain in behalf
of the school fund. Congress
man Sinnott led the fight for
Oregon in the house.
Had legislation been guided
by the spirit of the land grant
conference and the midnight
resolution" the state would
have gotten nothing. The pro-
perty would have gone to the
railroad company or to big tim
Der grabbers.
Twenty millions for Oregon
and a S10,000,000 increase OF
our irreducible school fund
seem to be the fruits of the agi-
tation carried on by the inde-
pendent pross of the state, the
East Oregonian included.
1t is we'll for the state that
this land grant affair was not
left solely in the hands Of the
old guard brigadiers and Port
land corporation lawyers.
