that have visited Morris for some
time.

marked roads; but probably will re-
count tales OF getting off the road,
losing timo and suffering the attend
ant inconveniences.
SO far the only road marking that
has been done is that undertaken by
automobile garages. These over
stretches OF the road are very good
and serve the purpose, but there is
lack Of uniformity and the result
creates q decided uncertainty on the
part Of the traveller lie Is CON
ltantly wondering whether or not he
s. on the right road.
Another Of the difficulties is that
at the junction OF many roads the
warning sign giving directions which
road to take is poorly located. For ex-
ample few miles above Huntington
the autoist must make a choice be-
tween two highways. each Of which
is apparently equally travelled. There
Is no main travelled road there"
The sign which directs the traveller
to Huntington is fifty feet or more
from the far side of the junction
point and the traveller is forced to
make his decision before the sign is
in sight.
For miles on the various trails the
signs have been placed so low that
the schrubbory along the road has
hidden the markings requiring dill
gent search to confirm the directions.
There should be no guess work
about the road markings. Some def
mite system should be adopted and
used uniformity throuout the state.
II the counties cannot afford to prop
erly mark the highways the question
should be placed before tho legis-
lature for a proper solution.

SERVING THE PEOPLE.

There is one. and only one, means
by which a political organization can
insure its perpetuity. That is by
serving the people, When, thru long
tenure OF office a political coterie
abrogates to itself powers not inher-
ent to political office, its end is not
long in coming.
The flagrant violations of the civil
service law by the present national
administration, together with the H.
asco resulting from the elevation of
unframed men to high diplomatic
posts has caused feeling of general
distrust among the independent vot-
ers of the country,
These things have, more plainly
than anything else stamped the dem
ocratic party as an organization for
the promotion OF Southern democrats
to places on the public pay-rolls.

DO TELL

Among the interesting bits of pol
itical wisdom promulgated by the In
dustrlous press bureau OF the demo-
cratic party is that the state OF wash
ington will be carried by President
Wilson.
How this Is TO be done was easily
explained by means OF a telegram
from ole Hanson, to Chairman Nc
Cormlck offering his services TO the
Bourbon national committee. while
setting forth the power OF the pro-
gressiye party In the Evergreen state.
To the unlnitlated ole's telegram
might mean something. The Birm-
ingham Age-Herald like true demo-
cratic organ gave II top head" and
declared that II was but a straw show
ing how all the progressives OF the
west would go. To Washlngtonlans
II IL a Joke.
The truth OF the matter is that ole
~ buA loI ltNtHkts il' NhhAh W
hang the hide OF Senator Miles Poin-
dexter to his real estate belt ole
is peeyish because when he was the
progressive candidate for the United
States senate, by mistake. two years
ago. Miles did not go to the front for
him. but remained in the east, and
has now turned double sommer-
sault back into the republican fold.
There Is no progressive party In
Washington, and has not been since
December 1914. Its disintregration
has been general and complete in ey-
cry county in the state, including
King county in which Seattle is To-
Gated, ole Hanson and all his third
party associates can not rally 5000
votes to Wilson In Washington, and
ole knows II. But ole is a mighty
good advertiser and with a hot race
between Poindexter and Humphrey
that many votes may serve ole's pur-
pose, and anyway he is getting some
notoriety.

At Vale next Monday evening there

After canvassing the situation,
which they all declared was most fav-
orable for a big party vote the lead
ers united in the expression that a
clean straight fight for a full party
vote was the proper procedure.
why should not me make such
fight" they declared. DO not the
democrats vote behind their candi-
dates TO a man? Did anyone ever
hear OF a democrat scratching his tic
ket in Malheur county? Or any
place else for that mater?
This year" too, they declared.
every republican nominee is OF such
character and experience that he or
she is entitled to the vote of any cit
izen and there is absolutely no rea-
son why any republican should refuse
TO give his or her unqualified sup
port to the full ticket from Charles
Evan Hughes to the last place on the
ticket"

STATE PRIDE.

While a resident of oregon's sis
ter state, Washington, the writer has
observed a few things about. Oregon
people. The thing that has impress
ed us most is the loyalty of Oregon
ians TO Oregon. Perhaps residents
OF the state have just taken this atti-
tude for granted and let it go at that,
but II is nevertheless true that such
a spirit does not obtain in Washing
ton or any of the neigboring states.
Why this should be we do not
know, but it seems that such feel
ing must be merited and II properly
and means great deal to-
ward the growth and development of
the state.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

with this issue the Argus passes
90 the control OF the writer. II
may not at this time be inappropri-
ate TO make statement OF the pol
icy by which the columns will be
governed.
First, and above all else II will be
che constant endeayor OF the Argus
20 present all the news OF ontario
and vicinity. 80 far as humanity pos
sible. without bias and without pre-
judice.
The Argus will endeayor TO CO.
operate with every agency which has
for its purpose the up-building OF on
tarlo. the Snake river valley and Cen
tral oregon. We believe this can be
best done by far-sighted cooperation; I;
by spreading abroad the truth con-
cerning the possibilities OF this re-
gion; by extending the natural mar
ket thru the up-bulding OF every
agency which will bring about the
independence OF the rancher from the
restrictive field offered TO products
not ready for the ultimate consumer
Politically the Argus will continue
60 advance the interest OF the repu-
blican party. No qualifying adjec-
tives will be needed 10 describe the
republicanism we will follow; but
this does not mean that we will sup
port "yellow dog" II perchance one
secured a place on the party ticket,
Since the first province of an news
paper Is to print the news, and the
second to interpret the import OF
passing events on the editorial page;
the first must, in fairness be done
without partisanship; and the second
setforth without malice or undue
bias,
Reserying to every man the right
90 his own opinion, we ask the same
privilege for ourself We do not ex-
pect every man TO agree with us; nor
do we expect to agree with every
one, There is plenty of room for
honest differences OF opinion in this
great open country; but we trust that
bigotry, narrowness; peeyishness and
petty chickering's will be conspicuous
by their absence.
In attempting TO achieve the ideals
above set forth we solicit the cooper
alton of every person in this section,
be he or she reader of the Argus or
not. We want YOU to feel that this is
your paper, and to feel assured that
anything we can do 10 further the
welfare OF the community will be
gladly done
The columns OF the Argus will at
all times be open to any citizen for
the discussion Of public matters; we
reserve the right to climate objec-
tionable matter and such personali-
ties as should have no place in the
public prints. G'~'~
