Exodus of Foreigners.

1000 aliens have left Minnesota
for their native countries during
the past two months. This is
something unusual as the tide has
always been in the other direc-
ton and many are asking what
is swrong. Foreigners those
who have recently come TO Amer
lea and have not yet become
citizens of America have feel
inRs as well as anybody and we
are wondering If some of those
have not been hurt by this ever
lasting bombarding of all that is
foreign. Now we are not trying
to shield those who are foreign
ers in the sense Of the word that
they absolutely refuse to become
Americans and are only here to
raise rompus that kind ought
TO be deported but out of those
1000 who have left Minnesota
in two months there are surely
many who would have become
good American citizens had they
remained. and undoubtedly many
would have remained had there

BONDS FOR MARKET ROADS.

The CAPITAL Journal was not in favor of the $850,00O
bond issue for good reads when it was before the voters
of Marion county five years ago. 1t believed that the time
was not ripe for the expenditure OF so large a sum OF
money upon roads then.
Subsequent developments have proven the wisdom OF
the stand taken at that time. bodybuilding was in its in
fancy at that time, the best types of permanent road had
not heen settled upon. and there was no state bodybuilding
program formulated. Even with the best Of intentions
much of the money might have frittered away. Large
amounts would have been expended upon the Pacific high
way through the county now to be taken care OF by the
state highway commission and government funds.
The situation is different now. The county will only
have to look after the lateral or feeder roads leading to
the main highway, and these as a matter of fact are OF
greater Importance to the farmers and local business In
terests than the state highway.
Money expended wisely at this time ought not to be
wasted, but should bring good returns in improved mar
Aeting conditions and the general satisfaction and devel-
opment that all-the-year-around good roads should bring
to a community.
The chief point of contention at this time seems to be
whether bonds should be issued or taxes levied which shall
be sufficient to pay for the road improvements as they
are made. This point is of course worthy of due consid-
Grafton and there are good arguments to be advanced on
both sides. The people of the county Will have an opp0r-
tunity to register their convictions on this point when the
bond issue comes up for adoption or rejection at the spec
ial election in June.
The pay-as-you-go advocates have always back of
them the sound argument of adhering to conservative
business methods in the carrying out of public works

good roads are needed now for growth and development
and the profitable conduct Of business and production.
Stronger still, we think, is the argument that since the per-
manent roads are needed and must be built some time, the
accepted time is now, when the country is seeking to shift
from a condition Of war which upset all lines Of industry
without going through a depression that will make the
return to normal were difficult and LANCER deferred both
to the producer and consumer. Plenty of work for every
body, development of resources and expansion Of indus
try at this time will do much to bring back the public
mind to the works and ways of peace. A busy people will
have less time to think of the losses and horrors of war,

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
WILLYUM.

haven't heard of KrOnprinz Willy for long, long
weary weeks; no doubt he's sitting, sad and silly, with
tears upon his cheeks, and thinking of the days departed,
when he was bithe and buoyant hearted, and when he
danced and choo-chooearted with other dizzy freaks. I'm
clad there seems no disposition to push him to the front,
to use his punk, forlorn condition, as theme for movie
stunt; no lecture bureaus seem to want him and no CHATEAU
quas wildly flaunt him; nor do the sideshow magnates
haunt him, with offers of MUCH blunt No manager will
bring him hither, to make a goodly pile; we're all inclined
TO let him wither, on his damp misty isle; and if the sea
should overflow him, or if a rampant wind should blow
him SO flat his father wouldn't know him, we still shall
sing and smile. By all the busy world forgotten, he walks
beside the sea, and doubtless thinks his fate is rotten, and
doubtless sighs, "Oh, cheeP Imprisoned is the restless
rover; his limelight days are done and over; he cuts no
grass, puts up no clover; tbs vel, as you'll agree.

After reading the speeches of Senator George Cham
berlain and the editorials of the Oregonian on American
inefficiency and the totallack of organization and method
in our war work, the following from an article in Power
Plant Engineering is astounding: IF the Germans had
not known Of the great stream Of shells, gas, tanks, and
other munitions that was ready to flow forward they
might have fought on through 1919, and the battles would
have cost the lives Of 100000 American soldiers. But we
were making more mustard gas than Great Britain,
France and Germany combined. Our tank program called
for one tank for every seventy-five foot of front; artillery
and shells were under way that would have blown the Ger
man army off the face of the earth. And they knew it.
So that, although we are paying for a great mass of ma
terial that never reached the front, it is really a payment
for the saving of 100000 lives of our boys, and wounds
this was done, and three and a half million men put under
arms, (2y5OO,OOO in France) in only a year and a half! How
it could have been done by such utterly incompetent men
as we were told had charge of all the departments of gov
eminent is certainly the wonder of the age.
