ITO SURVEY ROAD TO INTERIOR

In all probability the forest service
will be able TO make a reconnaiss-
ance survey across whitman Nation
al Forest, from Prairie City in Grant
county, to Unity in Baker county,
according to information received
from District Forester Cecil OF Port
land by State Engineer Lewis.
This is a connecting link in pro-
posed route branching from the Co
lumbia river highway and running
through the John Day country via
Fossil, Canyon City. Unity and to the
Idaho line at Ontario.
Senator Loring v. Stewart has been
the moving spirit in promoting the
adoption OF this road. and has inter-
ested the counties of Gillian. Grant,
Baker and Malheur in a survey by the
state engineer definitely locating the
route. Grant county has already
set aside $4,000 for this purpose and
II is expected the other counties BEN
efitlng will assist in a substantial
manner.

represented as enacting a vicious and I'M
workable army reorganization law merely
in order to prove that it was vicious and
unavoidable.
But suppose that that highly ingenious
argument is carried further. Was the
Underwood tariff law passed merely 10
prove to the country the undesirability Of
dispensing with the measure OF protection
established under the Dinciey and Payne
laws? Was the Fedora Reserve act passed
merely to demonstrate the necessity Of
quickly describing the banking principles
on which it was based? Did President
Wilson bungle the Mexican situation and
refrain from exacting a disavowal Of the
Lusitahia massacre simply in order to set
examples to be ever hereafter avoided by
American diplomacy?
Dr. Eliot hardly does justice to the stub
born purpose of Mr.. Hay to prevent ma
tional army reorganization or TO the politi-
cal pliability Of the President, who yielded
to Mr. Hays dictaton, though it cost a
break in the Cabinet through the enforced
resignation Of Secretary Garrison.
The Hay law was an anti-preparedness
measure, pure and simple. So far as it
pretended to serve the cause of prepared
ness il was a sham and a fraud. 1t was
an attempt to back up Mr. Wilson's famous
phrases: "The country has been misin-
formed. We have not been negligent of
national defence" 1t cannot therefore
escape judgment as deliberate effort to
keep our military establishment weak, I'M
prepared and faulty organized.

Currency Imitation.

.Fr0m The Bu0Gio Erpr'sst
Speaking at Peoria, H., yesterday, Mr.
Hughes said: "The Federal Reserve act as
ndorsod by the Administration and presented
TO Congress was a wholly unavoidable bill
Il was finally worked out by students and
others until it emerged in different form
But that system, as il IS. contains dangerous
possibilities Of imitation"
Il is interesting TO note that a recent
Treasury statement shows the outstanding
Federal Reserve notes 10 amount to $l79,s38,-
600 and the Federal Reserve bank notes &"
100000. All but about S2,600,000 Of this

suggesting that this is "a greater amount than

A Summer of Daylight Saving.

Now that Great Britain's clocks have
been put back for the winter under the
tyrranous rule Of Greenwich mean time,
the people have an opportunity to weigh
the benefits of the daylight supposed to
have been saved in the summer months a
dispatch from London informs us that the
scheme dis generally considered to have
proved a success" but that there are still
some dissenters may be gathered not only
from the persistent raillery of many as
tronomers and other men Of science, but
from the occasional protests and comments
of intelligent observers who may be re-
garded as professionally unbiased.
Among those who have not been wholly
convinced of the merits Of Mr.. Wllett's
device for making lazy nation get up in
the morning is that acute and ingenious
humorist, Sir George Birdwood. He ad-
mits indeed that by the governments ma
nipulation Of the nations clocks hard
working people have secured "a little more
daylight during the afternoons Of this
summer and that, perhaps, is all any one
expected. Unfortunately, however, the
small tradesmen in some districts refused
to recognize the reformed time to the
manifest prejudice of others in the same
districts, and some idle people refused
either to go to bed or to get up earlier
than in the summers before 1916.
Domestic animals likewise refused to
be coerced by the Act Of Parliament. pet
animals in houses and poultry in farm
yards have utterly ignored the Willetted
Watch" Sir George complains, while the
cows have outrageously defed it. kicking
over the milk pals and kicking and but
ting, and even biting at their would-be
mixers, and, if outside the shipping in
the fields, boiling off furiously, with their
tails hoist high in air,"
His conclusion seems to be that to secure
the results hoped for it was not necessary
to touch the clocks at all. They are but
instruments for recording the hours, and
if Acts of Parliament are needed to make
people keep decent hours, they might more
prohtably be used for the compulsory
opening and closing Of all places of public
business and amusement.
