Governor Lister has proclaimed May
10 as good roads day, and the secre-
tary of the Spokane County Good
Roads association sends out notices of
the action of the governor that contain
the following paragraph: Can you
not select some important stretch of
road in your district for betterment on
that day? Get the women interested
Have them prepare lunch for the
workers and get number of men and
teams to donate their services. You
can accomplish a lot of good work in
this manner" Now what's the matter
with the good roads dips in this local
ity following this suggestion by putt
ing in day fixing roads in and around
Oroville? There are spots, some de-
fective spots of greater magnitude
than mere spots, in the highways ra-
dating out of town that could stand
some Improvement, and large force
OF strong and enthusiastic workers
could do much toward eradicating
these impediments to travel in one
day.

Very little is being said so far in
the campaign regarding county Off
GERS to be elected this fall. Considering
the record they have made it would be
good policy on the part of the residents
of the county to continue those in Of
flee who are entitled to reelection. In
The matter of the shrievalty Mr.. Stark
has served as long as the law will
allow consecutive service in county
office, and hence he is ineligible. In
that case no mistake would be made
by electing that capable deputy, Clair
Ward. However, there is no necessity
of worrying over candidates at this
time. Enough to fill the offices and
more will have their hats I'm the ring
before the primary election.

A proclamation, or defense OF Ger
lnany's methods of conducting the war,
and attack upon the Allies, appeared
in the Sunday issue of the Spokesman
Review, signed by score of Germans
who will not discard the hyphen. The
|screed was a purported answer to
defense of the Allies issued in very
by some 500 so-called prominent resi-
dents of the United States. No fault
could be found with this criticism on
the part of the German citizens who
insist on not becoming Americanized
were it not for the covert threat that
would be internal revolution in Amer
lea, plain intimation that the I'M
|Americanized Germans were more
ready and willing to support their ma
| tive land than the land of their adop-
ton in the eventualities of war. Such
a display of dislOyalty is untimely with
relations strained between the two
countries, as it will create the impress
sion in Germany that large element
in this country is prepared to take up
arms in support of Germany should
hostilities break out. If the worst
comes it would be we'll for the author
| tiles to keep the signers of this doc
ument under close servillance, for if
they mean what they say they would
be dangerous element should war
grow out of the pending correspond

The public wonders why American

Engaged in manufacturing at home the
many articles entering into commerce
and manufacture for which this coun-
try has depended upon the European
waring nations for it's supply in the
past, and which have so rapidly and
enormously advanced in price since
that supply was cut off. The reason is
plain enough. American capital will
not invest in an industry that would
prove to be losing venture as soon
as the war closes and the home pro-
Queer comes in competition with the
cheaper produced European articles.
Without fair basis of protection
American producers could not posi-
bly, continue business and meet for
|eign competition. So long as the pres
ent system of government espionage
applied to business ventures continues
and protection to home industries is
refused, just so long will timid capital
continue in hiding, and men of means
efuse to take chances when the
chances are all against them.

Our army must be in the very pink

campaigning it is given out that the
expedition in Mexico is to rest and re-
cooperate, after having travelled only
comparatively short distance with

high state of efficiency how long
would the army last in such active SER
vice as has been in progress around
Nerdun FOR the past two months? As
against the record of the seasoned
veterans of Germany and the less
seasoned but none the less tenacious
soidlery OF France our army makes a
very poor showing.

There has been much anxiety in
high and low places during the past
week as to what answer Germany will
make to the presidents last note of
warning, cOuched in unquivocal Ian
guage, which, if the president is in
earnest, comes mighty near meaning
war in case Germany refuses to grant
the concessions demanded. No normal
American citizen desires war with
Germany, nor no other nation for that
matter, but this country has certainly
been patient to the very verge of pus-
|illanimity in the face of repeated out
RACES, and there comes a time when
patience ceases to be a virtue 1t is the
universal hope that the imperial gov
eminent will grant the small request
that submarines discontinue the prac-
tice of numbering American non-com-
batants, women and children on the
high seas. PrO-Germans insist that this
country should submissively submit to
the ruthless slaughter of its people.
They do not stop to consider what
Germany would do under similar cir
cumstances, yet it is not hard to guess.

 FOR |ST TIME

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 5.-Percy Haughton, Harvard's head football caoch, made his first visit to Soldiers Field this fall yesterday, and although he did no coaching was an interested spectator.

Waters, Captain of the 1893 team, who was once a head coach, but who has not worked with the line for years, was out showing the guard and tackles some old school football. He will get fight into the team if any one can.

Snow, Lowell, Throndike, Wheeler and Phinney. being on the rush line. Mose- ley Taylor was out in playing clothes. but did not participate in the scrim- mage, while both Bathelder and Davis, two of the crippled tackles, were also on the field. They will be ready for hard work the first of the week.

 FIRST FROM CUBS

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The White Sox defeated the Cubs in the first game of the city series yesterday by to 2. The total paid attendance was 17,250. more than $10,000 being taken in at the gate. Of this amount the players will share $5,S03 and each club will receive $1,934.

MARQUARD TO
 FACE RED SOx
 IN THE OPENER

New York, Oct 5.-Wilbert Robin son, manager of the Brooklyn Nation al League club. pitted his regulars against New York in the game in Brooklyn this afternoon as a final workout for. the opening of the world s series at Boston on Saturday.
 We are going out to win and I think we can do it,Y said Robinson. Tour team has played good ball all season and we held the lead almost all the way through, except for day or two here and there. We measure up to the Red Sox and with our team playing it's best ball right now there sno reason why it can't win. We'll show the fans some real playing. Mar quard, Coombs, Cheney, Pfeffer and Smith will show them some pitching and we are not worrying"
 "Rube" Marquard, who is reported selected to pitch the opening game, said he was in top form now and that Brooklyn is going to win.
 '"This team has nothing to fear from Boston," he added. We measure right up to standard in every depart ment and we believe we are going to trim them. All hope is that I can pitch the same sort of ball that have been pitching during the last couple of weeks"
 We will be right at their throats all the time," declared Jack Coombs. 'Tf anyone believes Boston is going to ride right over us he is reckoning without men of the stamp of Jake Daubert, Pfeffer, Marquard and Chief Meyers"

LES DARCY WILL
 JOIN AvIATORS OF
 THE BRITISH ARMY

New York, Oct. 5.-With all the lit- tie doubts concerning he outcome of his title tilt with George Chip out of his system, Les Darcy has announced himself as ready to go to the front. Despite the objection to his going set up by his mother, Darcy has been qui- etly learning the art of flying and has progressed so rapidly that he is ready to qualify for his pilots license at a moments notice.
 With Darcy and Carpenter soaring over their heads, the Teutons will have a pair of celebrities well worth bring ing down. Darcy has been inspired by the reports of Carpen1ere's spectacu- lar work at the front He has sad all along that it was his ambition to go to the front and fly rings around the dashing Frenchman
 ,'ome there are no more worlds for Darcy t$ conquer Chip was the only thorn that might have fingered in his side, but Darcy has stunned the world through his nine-round knock out of man who was thought a cer- tain winner over him.
 If Gibbons were to fight him tomor row there would be plenty of Ameri- can money placed on the Maitland lad. Gibbons has lost two-t thirds of his ad m1rers because of his indifferent work against Mcfarland and Ted Lewis. Gibbons won't go to Australia to fight the blacksmith's helper, so, barring possibly a match with Tom McMahon there is'fnothing left for Darcy to oo but to go to the war to shoot and he shot at.

 MONEY FINALLY

After waiting many weary months Jim O'Rourke and Jack Teller finally got the money awarded them by the National Commission when the old Eastern Association was merged with the New England League, O'Rourke had claim of $1,000 and Zeller $500.
 The magnates of the merger league wanted to give O'Rourke and Zeller notes for the indebtedness but g pre- test was made to the National Com mission. This body ordered the claims should be paid or else the Eastern League territory would be thrown open. Thereupon each club in the league paid share of the debt. Owner Carey of Springfield held out $1O0 on O'Rourke for an alleged claim and O'Rourke has taken this matter up with the National Commis- sion. t'

Philadelphia, Oct. Bob Folwell, announcing that the Pennsylvania football squad must show its wares. yesterday afternoon shifted his back field and executed a stiff scrimmage. He started Light at quarter back, put Ross and Derrin in the half back po- sitions, and Williams at full back. Loucks also got a trial at half back and Quigfey was used at full back.

 Folwell is rerouting his aerial att tack, and the Penn eleven, before the Franklin and Marshall game Satur- day, will have some new forward passes. Howard Berry will join the Red and Blue team Monday at Frank lin Field. When asked where the pentathlon champion would play, Fol- well said: ~Berry will have to settle that for himself.

 KID VERY TOUGH CUSTOMER

Although the Zulu Kid has never appeared before local boxing fans he is we'll known in New York for his numerous good bouts before, metro politan clubs. He is one of those rough and tumble fighters who keep going every minute. In signing him for the star bout of the Black Rock A. c. show at the Casino next Monday night Matchmaker Hollis secured a good attraction. The Zulu Kid will meet Silent Martin of New York in the 15 round star bout. Although Martin can't talk he knows how to fight and has been a headliner in many New York clubs.
