GOOD ROADS SAVE MONEY

The improved roads of Milwaukee
County, Wis, save $25, 600 a day to
the people who use them This is the
estimate of the county commissioner
of highways, as reported to the Bu-
reau of Public Roads Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
The statistics are based on a census
Of the traffic taken periodically during
the past four years. The census is
made by selecting 50 points scatter
ed throughout the county, and making
seven counts each day Of the week.
The count is not made on consecutive
days, but at various periods from
April to November, so as to arrive at
average conditions. This census is
taken to determine the durability of
certain types of pavement, according
to the amount of traffic square
yard 1t shows that about $4,000 We
hicles of all kinds travel the high
ways each day Traffic on the road
has increased about AZ per cent a
year during the four years in which
the survey has been made.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND
THE DEMOCRATS

perhaps the one thing most talked
about in our country today is the
League of Nations. A very great
majority of the Democrats say that
Republicans who oppose or even ven
ture a constructive criticism. of the
League of Nations are partisans and
unpatriotic. Let it be made evident
that if there is partisan party 1t IS
the Democratic party and that II
there is a most patriotic party that
party is the Republican party. The
Democrats are not real friends of
their country when they use sucn
tactics as these. The Republican
criticism of the League of Nations IS
not wrought in selfshness and par
tisanship but for the welfare of our
country and the betterment of the
League. Senators Lodge and Knox
have been classed as partisans be-
cause they were advocating tn per-
lection of tn League. If we had more
men like these men our country would
rest on more secure foundation and
the eague would be in better form
for the general welfare of the cit
liens of the United States.
That it is neither possible nor ad-
vantagous to our own existence for
our country to lead life of isola-
ton most of US agree. For the last
quarter of century the United
States has been world power and it
is of no use to look upon the Monroe
Doctrine in the narrow limited way
in which we were accustomed to look
at it for some decades after it was
proclaimed by President Monroe in
1923 The United States is not in the
same position it was half century
ago. Ex-President Roosevelt was our
first great American to realize this
and to be public advocate of it.
Accordingly we must have new
Monroe Doctrine that will protect us
and at the same time be in accord
with the great and complicated
changes that have come about in our
society, industry and foreign rela-
tons. So then, the Republicans are
not partisans or unpatriotic but the
agents that wish to protect the in
terests of the United States and at
the same time live in the spirit of the
age in which we are now living. No
man is perfect. To go on the assump
ton that the League Of Nations is
perfect document just because Pres
ident Wilson wrote it, is the height
Of the ridiculous.
The best political party is the party
that has ideas and has combined with
that the inclination to deal fairly with
the country's citizens in finding the
merits and dement's of the PROPOSE
ton"
"QUINSY."

CONFINEMENT.
Kaye"

Kaye"
When Time shall hang his curtains,
OF silvered locks of age,
About my ears like draperies
Upon the actors stage
When age shall set his wrinkles
Upon my youthful brow
And silver threads of sorrow
Shall mingle with the snow
I fain would sit about my fire
And watch its embers die
Among those crumbling ashes,
The past shall silent lie.
When my eyes have lost their lustre
The fires of youth burn low
And relentless Time has marked me,
With step that's aged and slow
l fain would sit in silence
Beneath some leafy shade,
And ponder Ger the mysteries
That God and have made,
I'd dream the past all over
And mark the Futures way,
Amid its storm-swept shadows,
I'd view grander day
When my heart has lost its valor,
Beneath its weight of years
And the joys of youth are deluged
Beneath a flood of tears
| fain would live in quiet
Beside some mountain stream,
And watch Life's fading sunset
Throw back it's golden CLEAN
For the past is but a desert
It's mirage will lure you on,
But the past with sun and shadow
Shall be lost---The past is gone
THAT that is, is; That that is not,
is not" We do not live in the past,
nor the future but now, in the pres
ent---our smiles, kind words and good
deeds do not aid those who are gone,
nor do they help futurity. Only those
who live today can respond to loves
caresses or appreciate the smiles of
good cheer which we spread about
US.

! One of our exchanges very SEN
sible remarks that of all the people
| in the household, mother is the one
who gets no "two weeks off with pay
vacation in the summer. She is also
| the one who never gets her Saturday
afternoons off. Neither does she
work an an eight hour perday-sched-
ule. And Sunday, when father sits
around in his lounging clothes and
house slippers, mother gets break
| fast, washes the dishes, gets the
noon meal, washes the dishes, gets
! the evening meal, washes the dishes
and does a score and more of other
household tasks that always seem to
I fall to mothers lot.
So, why not a vacation for mot
Their?
/ Does mother complain because she
/ dosen't have vacation like the rest
of the family? Certainly mott But
that is all the greater reason why she
should get the vacation!
There are several ways of giving
her this vacation. One way is to tell
her that, no matter whether she
wants to or not, she is to go back to
see he home folks for a couple of
weeks-and while she is away she is
not to worry about how the house
work is going or whether the gas
bill is paid on the first of the month.
Then, a supplementary way is to in
sist upon her going down town one
evening each Week-to the theatre.
Or, insist upon her eating an occa-
sional meal down to the club or at
the restaurant with the family, where
she won't have to be worrying about
the housework And there are scores
of other ways of getting for mother
that vacation which she so justly
earns but which she will not receive
unless the rest of the family make
her take it.
And daughter might give a little
aid in this vacation-for- mother pro-
paganda, also AS far as we can dis
cover there is no federal law state
law or city ordinance which makes
it criminal offense for an eighteen
year-old daughter to wash the dishes
twice day and thus take little
routine work away from mothers
hands.
How about that vacation for mo-
ther?
Man is naturally a home.loving
animal, in fact, most animals are
home-loving, And when a man asks
woman to share his life, it is usu-
ally taken as a gentle hint that he
wants her to make him home and
take a sort of general oversight of
his affairs and a special oversight
of himself. He likes to know that
she does things for him just for the
reason that she loves him, and is in
trested in him and his well-being. He
loves his home more if there is some
lmprss OF her personality upon it.
He likes best the meal she prepares
for him. Of course, he says very
little-perhaps nothing-of all this,
being a man.
A true lady is as much a lady
washing her dinner dishes, prepar-
ing the vegetables for dinner, clean
ing lamps and scrubbing floors, as
when she is bending over her en-
broidery frame or easel in the pleas
ant sitting room. If she is so for
tunate as to possess a servant she
will use refined language and as gen.
tie voice in speaking to her as she
uses in the reception room entertain
ing the most cultured among her
friends.

HARVEY WELLS WANTS
OFFICE IN PORTLAND
House Favors This Removal
OF State Insurance Com
missioner S Office.

The entering wedge in removing
certain state house duties from the
capital city to Portland was taken in
the honse this morning and the Mar
ion delegation with the exception Of
Mr.. Hughes, who was not present, vot-
ed in favor of permitting the removal.
The b II came up from Mr.. Martin
of Marion county, chairman Of the in.
suranee committee, permitting Mr..
Wells, commissioner of insurance to
open an office in Portland and to main
tain an office there. The argument was
made that it was for the convenience
Of the public.
Me Martin spoke in favor of es
tablishing blanch office for the com
missioner in Portland, claiming thai
the entire insurance committee believed
in dividing the office and permitting
Mr.. Wells to maintain Portland offices
G. E. WOodson Of Heppner was in,
clined to look with disfavor on this en-
tering wedge Of dividing the state of
fiees. He thought it was bad prece
dent and might be followed by Others
who might wish to establish quarters ii
Portland. #
The argument in favor of allowing
the Insurance Commissioner to maintain
a Portland office was that fully two
thirds of the commissioner business
was with Portland firms. Representa-
tives from counties along the Columbia
river also supported Mr.. Martin IS bill,
saying it was lot Of trouble for them
to come to Salem when it would be
much more convenient to have the
commissioner office in Portland.
