MOOSE LEADERSHIP.

Henry Ford, who makes public an- that he intends to vote for MT. Wilson, is more than al political Progressive. Like Thomas A. Edison, who has expressed the same prefer ence, he. is fndustrially, commercially and socially progressive.
 Such men, always forward looking in their business affairs, always hospita- ble to new ideas, always open-minded and self-reliant, naturally abhor reac- ton and turn with contempt from standpat policies of government based largely upon favor Cand greed. The wonderful successes that they have achieved have been due to their own ability. Ford and Edison have blazed new paths. hit upon new devices, and by the force of their genius established vast industries which make many of the law-pamper- ed enterprises appear feebly by com

THE POCKET PARIS

Bucharest, the capital city of Rou- mania, ,offers the biggest municipal prize in the Balkans, as it Is by far the largest city, and the finest and richest, in that part of the warning world. The pocket Paris" as Buch- arest was called before war cast a damper on the gay spirits of the peo- pie, claims a population of about 350,- 900, which puts ii, in a classy by itself among Balkan capitals. Athens has less tlah 100000 people, Sofia about 100, ,OO0, and Belgrade. before it was devasted by war, had less than 100,- 0O0, while Cettinje, the Montenegrin capital is but village of 2.000 folks. Until Roumania's decision to enter the war brought serious matters upper most, Bucharest was the gayest city in Europe, Large numbers of her citi- zens had made fortunes out of the war, and they were liberal spenders. Originally squalid, meanly built city, like all the capitals of the near East, Bucharest has of late years sought to become a Balkan Paris, and with fair measure of success. Many fine public and business buildings and prt- vate residences line the streets. and luxurious hotels, which charge $6 day for the smallest rooms. are num- erous, as are, expensive restaurants, cabarets, theatres and dance halls. It is the metal plated cupolas of the in- numerable churches, however, which give to Bucharest its most picturesque aspect in the eyes of the visitor from the west. Bucharest is 265 feet above sea level, in the fertile but treeless plain of the small, sluggish Dam hovitza, and its situation is such as to Tender it difficult of defense in time of war. An elaborate system of forti- fications, commenced thirty years ago, surrounds the city. Bucharest had a considerable population of German and Hungarian workmen, but most of these left to join the armies of the Central Empires before Roumania en- tered the war;

the American people: iN
 A President who tenaciously re-
 sists the demands of his own peo-
 pie to protect them in their crushed
 rights and in their violated honor;
 a President, however, who is not
 capable to resist the threats of that
 same England that depends for it's
 very existence on the goodwill of
 the American people, is already a
 danger for. this republic and
 greater danger than. any other en-
 emy.
 No other supporters of MT. Hughes are making so vigorous and energetic a campaign in his behalf as the Ger mans. The protected industries are generously financing his candidacy and Wall street is lavishly pouring treasure into his campaign chests. All the elements of plutocracy and priv ilege are lending assistance to his cause, but the Germans are giving their time as well as their own money. They work ceaselessly for his elec- ton. Every leader of the German is a Hughes campaigner and is exerting all his influence in be- half of dominant Americanism.
 Should MT. Hughes be elected, the Germans, of all his supporters, can most rightfully claim the credit Wall street and the great corporations op- posed to the President are merely fighting for bigger profits and more financial power over the government Theirs is a ,cash-registed cause. But the German propaganda is battling for a principle-a principle that to them is vital-namely, that the for eign policy of the United States must be satisfactory to Germany at all times and in all circumstances.
 To defeat President Wilson and to elect MT. Hughes will be to serve mo- tice upon all future chief ma magistrates of the nation that to defy that prin- ciple is to invite political destruction New York World.

BACKWARD CHILDREN
 IS CHIEF TOPIC AT
 CHARITY CONFERENCE

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Backwardness in children, its causes and types, formed one of the principal topics of discussion at the national conference of Catholic churches here today. The conference, which was held at Cath olic University, divided itself into sec tional meetings, there being no general session.
 Reports on the problem of the back ward child, placing of dependent chil- dren in private homes, relief work among families and employment agen- cies were presented by committee chairme nwhich was followed by gen. eral discussion.
 A general session will be held to- night, at which the results accom- plished by the conference since its or- ganizationl six years ago will be set forth by Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, of the Catholic University. Dr. John A. Ryan. also of the Catholic University. will discuss the future of he confer ence.

Sir Henry Edward Duke, the new chief secretary for Ireland, is credited with strong Home Rule leanings. This desite the fact that he is a member of the Unionist party. In speech in the House of Commons some two or three years ago he. urged a Home Rule settlement. This sentiment he re- peated in a recent speech in Exeter. Sir Henry Edward Duke is barrister and Unionist member of Parliament for Exeter and succeeded Augustine Birrell, who resigned after the Irish uprising. The new chief secretary has been given a seat in the cabinet. No new lord lieutenant of Ireland will be appointed to succeed Lord Vim borne, who also resigned after the outbreak of the Dublin rebellion.

Something ought to be done at once about Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy.
 In testing it's new 14-inch guns in Tangier Sound the battleshtp Penn sylvania has scored five hits out of 12 on a small target at 10000 yards, a feat that ordnance experts say is a worlds record in gunnery. To make matters worse, the super-dreadnought Arizona, sister ship of the Pennsylva- mia, has just been completed at the Brooklyn navy yard not only oh sched- u1e time but at saving of $1,0OO. GOO. This is heaping outrage upon outrage. [ It is the business of the Pennsylva- mia, when undergoing firing tests, to make a clean score of misses at a tar get as big as the horizon.

 In their cases progress has not been altogether materiAlistic. Both Ford and Edison have carried generous sen. timents into all of their actities. There never was tariff or a subsidy of any kind that conferred such benefits upon as have been derived from the just and even benevolent practices of these great captains of industry and invention. They will vote for MT. Wilson becausea they are honest intellectually as we'll as conn mercially.
 If the so-called Progressive party is faithful to a small part of it's pro- fessions, such leadership as this must appeal more powerfully to it's intelli- gent elements than that of the nosiy political hacks who with easy con- sciences have enlisted under the ban ners of the Old Guard.

 Josephus Daniels is secretary of the navy and Woodrow Wilson is Presi- dent. Nothing can possibly be right with the United States navy under the present administration, The navy is a sixth-rate affair. It cannot shoot. It cannot navigate. It can barely keep afloat in still water and calm weather, because Josephus Daniels is at the head of the navy department and Woodrow Wilson is President.

HOLMAN PROPOSES
BETTER ROAD LAWS

Hampered by the present obsolete
and conflicting road laws, the good
roads movement is in much danger, be-
leves County Commissioner Rufus Z.
Holman. and as president of the State
Association of County Judges and Com
missioners he has written each county
court in Oregon, urging the recodifica-
tion of the laws, according TO the Ore
gonian.
He suggests that he be authorized to
appoint committee of five members
to draft proposed changes that they
may be presented to the legislature
this year.
"By a recodiication OF the road
laws" writes Mr.. Holman, IL do not
mean to suggest that any new and un-
tried system of road establishment
should be proposed or adopted II is,
however, my purpose and intention
that all the present laws should be, so
far as possible, harmonized. simpliied,
amended and replaced to the end that
the important part OF county business
can be transacted in an intelligent and
businesslike manner.
From the experience had in Multn0-
nah county," Mr.. Holman contends.
"it would appear that the recent efforts
to enlarge the scope of the road laws
has served to confuse everyone as to
the proper procedure in road matters. "

The MT. HOOD PARK

If the bill recently submitted by
officials of the United States park sys-
TEN to Senator Chamberlain. who was
asked to introduce il in congress. had
been passed by both houses and had
become law, it would have been little
short of calamity for Hood River coun-
ty as well as for vast country to.the
southeast of Mount Hoods base. The
proposed boundaries extended down
to Parkdsle station. II took in Lost
Lake, and as was stated in last weeks
Glacier, more than ] 900, 000. 600 feet of
saIeable timber in this county would
have been included. This timber would
have been bottled for all time. Under
existing federal laws. counties receive
30 per cent Of the proceeds of such tim
ber sales for road building. Thus Hood
River county would have lost the sum
of more than $3.50, 600.
The hunting that is now open to all
local citizens in the fall would have
been lost. for one is not allowed to
carry firearms of any sort in national
park. Fishing would be permitted. but
the fisherman would violate severe laws
should he chop down the smallest tree
to build shack or to secure timbers to
bridge stream.
The forestry department at once saw
the lack of comprehension on the part
of the trainers of the bill, and sub
stitute was offered. The second bill
seems to find almost universal favor.
Those proposing the fret bill realized
that its passage would be bunder.
The new bill proposes very small
parkage area, including strips along
the Columbia River highway, the roads
and streams around Lost Lake and the
upper base of Mount Hood itself. Thus
the county will benefit by the prestige
of having national park on its borders
and at the same time derive for road
building its portion of the proceeds of
timber sales.

DO YOU WANT FOREST ROADS?

livery citizen of Hood Rivr is inter.
ested in a letter just received from the
Eugene Commercial club asking that
the local club assist in getting the ma
tional congress to pass II. r. bill No.
l0400, introduced in the House by Mr.
Taylor, of Colorado.
This bill appropriates $1,000, 600 an
nually for 10 years for the purpose of
constructing and maintaining roads in
national forests, upon request from
proper officers of state, territory or
county, when these roads are necessary
for the use and development of re.
sources upon which the communities
within and adjacent to the national
forests are dependent, provided that
the community so asking shall enter
into an agreement equitable to the
United States, cooperating with the
United States in constructing and
maintaining such roads.
There is billion feet of timber in
Hood River county forest reserves
which will meanIin the.course of time
1850, 900 to the road fund of Hood River
county, but it may take a hundred or
two.of years to get,this money. In the
meantime the demand for roads is i'm
mediate. The bill provides that the
community holding such reserves shall
not receive over 10 per cent, or $35, 900,
out of the funds provided. during the
10 years.
The way to get this bill passed is
for Hood River people to write any
senator or congressman in the eastern
states whom they may know, asking
their favorable consideration Of this
hill, and asking that they listen to
western congressman when they press
it's passage. Do not write long letters.
but ask their serious attention when
the bill comes up. Roads being a great
question with us, here is a chance for
S35, 600. Let's get it.

BETTER SPRAYING

Because of the use of the wsrd in de
scribing laborers employed to break a
strike and of its repugnant meaning in
terms descriptive of certain diseases of
animals, the word 'scab" as applied to
the defacing marks caused on apples
by fungus will be taboo among fruit
growers and market men. The fungus
growth on apples very often leaves a
mark similar to limb rub or russell
ing.
The elimination and future preven-
ton Of the disease, which prevents
many fine specimens of fruit from being
packed in the two first grades. extra
fancy and fancy. has been made the
slogan of all growers of the valley.
Its prevalence in orchards in past
years is said to have been caused by
poor and improper spraying. The local
branch of the Oregon Experiment Sta
ton and the Apple Growers Associa.
tion are both cooperating with the
growers in campaign of education for
better spraying. and it is predicted
that fungus marks the coming season
will be very scarce. During the worst
of past moist growing seasons. when
the disease has made the worst in.
roads, growers who practiced careful,
systematic spraying, have harvested
crops 90 per cent perfect.
Such meetings as that held at Pine
Grove hall last Friday will go far to-
ward causing growers to comprehend
the value of better spraying. The art

During the past year Sam G. Camp

of spraying his closest attention.
