TOURING BY DETOURS

Calvin Cobb, publisher of the Boise
Statesman, who was in Grangeville
last week, after having driven over
the North and South highway, from
south Idaho, comments in his news
paper to the effect that, if much more
highway construction is undertaken
in the state, touring will consist most
ly Of detours. And in this he is to
a certain extent right.
The delay incident to completion of
contracted sections of the North and
South highway has not been salts
factorily explained in any quarters.
But it is not denied that the con-
structiOn work is greatly delayed. Con
tractors on work that now should
be well on the way to completion, are
poking along, and apparently there
is little thought of when the job win
be finished.
Meantime embarrassing reports go
forth as to the condition of the road
and ACCESSIBILITY of motorists follow
ng it. It is time that something is
lone to spur the work on.

DISTRICT WINS.
IN HIGH COURT.
Not Required to Pay Third of
Cost of Bridge Over
Salmon River

Supreme court of Idaho has rem
dered decision sustaining judgment
of the district court of Idaho county
and dismissing action brought by the
Deer Greek Highway district againsI
the Doumecq Highway district fol
about $1,000, alleged to be a portion
of the costs of the Salmon river bridge
at the mouth of Whitebird creek, for
which the Doumecq district was
claimed to be obligated to the Deer
Greek district.
The litigation originated out of an
attempt, several years ago, on the part
of. the various highway districts, to
enter into a joint agreement to build
the bridge and it was claimed in the
complaint that it was agreed that the
Whitebird, Deer Greek and Doumecq
Highway districts should each pay
approximately one-third of the cost of
the bridge, and that the Deer Greek
district should advance the Doumecq
districts one-third, which it did, and
that the Doumecq district agreed to
pay it back, but had never done so.
Claim Doumecq Liable
1t was claimed in the complaint also
ihdb tht Hdti Dtcll Dullt Ou Tic
strength of this alleged agreement,
and that under the doctrine of equi-
table estoppel the Doumecq district
was liable to repay the money. The
defendant, however, relied ON the con-
stitutional prohibition against enter
ing into contracts in excess of the
debt limit for that year and to the
statutory prohibition against mourning
liability in that way and the court
sustained the position of the defen-
dants.
A previous suit grew out of this /
same transaction when the Doumecq
district attempted to vote bonds to |
take up a part of this indebtedness
md the bonds were held to be- illegal
y issued. Three elections were lSld
to vote bonds and at two of the
elections the matter failed and the
bird election was declared illegal
This decision leaves the Doumecu
district successful in all its conten-
ions that it is not liable ON account
# this bridge.

defendant, Doumecq Highway dis
riot, while ]. f. Ailshie was attor-
icy for the plaintiff, Deer Greek high
way district.

PRESIDENT HARDING

All America joins the widow of tho
late President Warren Gamaliel Hard
ing In mourning the death of a great
and good man. The president of the
American commonwealth has answered
that mystic roll cali which sounds
from above and no more does his
guiding hand direct the ship of state
1t is significant that President Hard
ng's last work was in the interest
of the western country. 1t was while
he was on trip throughout the west,
which eventually took him to Alaska,
and then back to the states, that the
chief executive was stricken. This
Journey was undertaken that he might
become more familiar with the vital
problems Of the west today, to the end
that the national government would
be Of more and better service in de-
veloping the vast western country.
There is no doubt but that the
strenuous work Of the president,
while on this long journey, which
had covered 1900 miles, the numerous
speeches which he delivered and his
other activities overtaxed him, and in
this condition he fell easy prey to
illness-and to death.
Warren G. Harding was a man of
the people, and as such he will ever
be affectionately remembered A
kindly and sympathetic man, an I'M
man, mans man, the ma
lion, in his death, suffers great loss.
The peoples love for this man is con-
revealed by the hundreds of
who gathered along the way
rom San Francisco to Washington
IS the funeral train Of the dead presi-
lent passed on its sad journey from
he Golden Gate to the national capt.
Il.
To the new president, Calvin Cool
lge, 1t may be said that if he fills
he chief executives chair as ably as
Id his predecessor he will have done
ell. President Coolidge, called from
Is fathers home in Vermont, where
Q was spending a vacation, to the
Thite House, also is a man of the I'm
sople. He faces many difficult prob vo
ms in the effectual administration
the national government, but with
e earnest support of the American
lblic, his task is not one that is i'm
'ssible to perform.

though the injuries are very painful,

The scaldirg was the result of a

pranks when he was seized by three
young men, Daniel Fender, Elwood

MOHAMMEDAN WORLD
WHAT Of THE FUTURE?
STUDY Of INFLUENCES
Special to Kennebec Journal


Brunswick, Me-. April o7.-"The Mo-
hammedan WORLD was the topic Of the
lecture delivered by DIR. Isaiah Bow
man, director of the American Geo
graphical Society. at the Institute of
Modern History at Bowdoin College
this evening.
DIR. Bowman spoke in part as follows:
What may be called the Mohamme-
dan Conquest has now endured for 10
centuries and has had a fair ppportuni-
ty to make itself felt over wide area
and among many different kinds Of
people. From this long history does
there emerge any sign that it is a
Sourci of danger to\western civilization
as the world is now organized? To at
tempt to answer this question by CIV
ing mere opinions las no value at all.
To quota historical precedence is of
very little value because civilizations
change from age to age as the material
bases of power change. There is a
scientific approach to the answer
What sources Of material power are
now in the hands of the Mahomme-
dams? When the horseman was the
chief instrument of empire the nomadic
folk who inhabited the grasslands made
wide inroads upon European territory.
When the modern battleship. the rail-
road. heavy artillery, and above all,
technical skill. became of chief import
ance in the development of imperial
plans the whole situation changed.
When the MOhammedan stays within
his traditional physical setting he has
a powerful ally in the desert, but when
ne leaves his arid domain to invade
