Say Roads Of Marion

"Motorists who desire to travel be-

rainy season had better ship their cars
or take boat" declared E. E. Brodie,
publisher of the Morning Enterprise, of
Oregon City, this morning Mr.. Brodie
came down from Eugene Sunday night
with his wife and son.
after leaving Jefferson, the high
way for six or seven miles is a dis
grace said Mr. Brodie. "The road is
soft and in places it is extremely diff
ficult to negotiate. Fresh gravel has
just been dumped along the highway,
making it soft and muddy. I have a
light ear, but it sank down into the bot
tom of the road in places, scraping the
pan and it was all could do to make
headway ON low gear.
In Claehamas county, where / live,
we have been criticised over the condi-
tion of some of our roads, but we do
not permit such thoroughfares on our
main travelled highways, as you have

to- Farmers who live along this high

travel it would be Justified in initiat-
ing recall against county officials who

HIGH OR DISTINGUISHED HoNoRS
CONFERRED UPON THE RT. REV.
FATHER EDWARD A. KELLY.

The Rt. Rev. Mons. Edward A. Kel-
ly, pastor of st. Anne's Roman Catholic
church, West Garfield boulevard and
Wentworth avenue, is one of the most
widely known clergymen of Chicago
and one of the priests chosen by Pope
Benedict on recommendation of Arch
bishop G. w. Mundelein for the rank
of monsignor. He will be invested Sun
day morning, April %, at st. Anne IS.
Mons. Kelly is known outside of the
circles of his own church by reason of
his ehaplaincy of the Seventh regiment,
Illinois National Guard, until a year
ago, when on account of i'll health, he
was not able to accompany the troops
to the Mexican border and resigned his
position. He showed his love for the
service by making strenuous efforts,
going to Springfield for the purpose
with his regiment, and resigned only
when it became imperative for him to
do so. In the Spanish-American war
he went with the regiment to Fort Al
ger and Fort Meade and hoped to get
into the actual conflict, but the war
closed in triumph before he had the
chance and he returned with the regi-
ment.
He was born in Chicago and was ed
ucated in the Chicago public schools.
For his higher education he attended
st. Mary's, Baltimore, and last Novem-
Der, on the 125th anniversary of the
founding of the seminary, was made
president of its alumni association.

Some Really Dry States.

Chicago, Ill.-Before anti-liquor en-
thusiasts shout themselves hoarse over
the Webb-Kenyon bill let them look up
just how many of the "dry" states
forbid the shipment of liquor into the
state. The Webb-Kenyon bill might
be a triumph for the "drys" were
there a set of really dry states. But
there are only four where there is any
provision against shipment in, and
these are unimportant states.
The Supreme Court decision grew out
of the provision of the West Virginia
law, which says that all shipments are
forbidden. individuals may carry in
limited quantities for personal use I'M
der certain restrictions. Then there is
Arizona, where the law provides that
all shipments are forbidden for bever-
age purposes. Wine for sacramento
use and alcohol for scientific purposes
are excepted. Idaho allows no liquor
to be shipped in except alcohol for
scientific, mechanical, medicinal and re-
ligious purposes. Oregon says that no
Intoxicating liquors shall be imported
into the state for beverage purposes.
Now these four states are the only
ones that prohibit the shipment in of
liquors. Every other "dry" state is
open to the mail order whisky game
just the same as before the Supreme
Court upheld the Webb-Kenyon law.
We find in this fact the reason why
the consumption of whisky and other
liquors has not decreased with the
spread of anti-saloon laws. We find,
for instance, that the well-known pro-
hibition states of Maine, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan, North
Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee place
absolutely no restriction on the ship
ment in of whisky, beer or wine in any
quantities for individual use. Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, Washington
and Virginia place a limit on the
amount that may lawfully be received,
but the limit is more than sufficiently
liberal, as it provides for enough as
sorted liquor to keep any reasonable
individual afoat.
