THE COUNTY COURT is shotting the proper care in ciWin: the roads to be improved by the promised (00,000 permanent road bond issue. The commissionsers spent the prater part of two days last week to naive the benefited highway and this week aain they checked ocr the roails with the prratcst rare, resulting in several minor chances. The commissionsers seem to realize the responsibility of naniinj; the raids and are piided by the one rule: to serve the pratest number of people the most. Their home section is not benefited any more than any other part of the county. Raids have been named with fairness, equality and justice. The most thickly populated districts are the best served. The court has not named thes cenic roads of the county to be improved as many of the knockers of the bond issue predicted. On the other hand the court has named the roads which connect the farmer with his market, the roads which would benefit the producer and not the Portland automobile owner who wishes hard surface roads that he may break all speed records and endanger the lives and property or the dwellers in the rural districts. The court has omitted the Mt. Hood auto road although there are probably more persons travel over that road in the summer than any other. The court for a distance of six miles failed to specify the Pacific Highway in Clackamas county. The court has in many cases omitted the most popular tourists' raids in the county, so that the farmer could be benefited if the is sue should pass. Such action on the part of the court knocks the argument of the knock ers flat. Those who have been presenting the argument that the bond issue was fostered by auto owners for the benefit of outo owners alone will be compeled to seek new and better pleas. "- o A BOOK ON SCHOOL GAMES, playgrounds, and play equipment, called "A Practical Recreation Manual for Schools," has been is sued by the state department of education under the general direc tion of State Superintendent Churchill. The book deals with the efficiency of playgrounds and of play times. It has been compiled by Lebert Howard Weir and Stella Walker Durham. The book contains a long list of games which are popular with the school children of the state and a number of songs with both words and mu sic which are well adapted for school use but one of the most important parts of the book is that part devoted to the playgrounds themselves. Al though the subjects of games, songs, and supervision of games are well taken up, by far the greater part of the book is centered on the subject of play grounds, play equipment, and play sheds. It may seem strange that it would be necessary to issue a book to teach American children how to play. But that is not the purpose of the book. It is taken for granted that the children know how to play ; the object is to teach them how to play better and to show school boards, principals and superin tendents who have long since forgot how to play, the requirements of a suc cessful playground. Play sheds, slides, wading pools, baseball diamonds, and swings are each taken up in turn, thoroughly discussed, and recommendations made to get the best possible results. The play sheds are brought into greater promi nence than any other recommended feature of a first-class playground. With a play shed the children can play in the open air each day in winter and summer. The book has been sent to the county superintendents who in turn have sent it to the district schools. It is thought that by the wide and ef fective publicity thus secured, a long step toward better playgrounds will be taken. upon as coming from it person who is unable to understand the bai princi pies upon which the American government is built. UK CASE of the three Portland boy who were attested on a chatge f breaking into a house at Oak Grove, and who cnnfcrd to the crime before the iuvenile nidge presents in a fouelul manner (he method by which many of the hos of the larger cities ate raised. When the parents of one of the boys heard that their son had been at rested and was held at the county jail here, the mother called the shetill's office and protested against the attet, claiming that the hoiie robkry was inithiiii' but ii hmi'Oi nruiit. a Immilrv. trille. No use hcini! sew'ie in their cases, she told the officer, they were merely boys and full ol luiinlcss mis chief. The mother was unable to get any satisfaction lioin the deput) sheriff who answered the phone and called the county attorney and repeated the same things to him but the eountv attorney too, was linn. When told that her son had broken furniture in the county jail timing the night, she till protested that it was nothing hut a prank, and a joke, Either that mother had a wonderful confidence in her n or rise she was not in touch with him and could not understand that her own boy could do such a thing. It is probable that those three bovs were the part of a g.ing, a bunch of hovs who went about house breaking in a business-like wa. That is the opinion of all the officers who have been working on the c.ie and the evi dence which had been gathered seems to point to that conclusion. o F SUCH OUTRAGES prevailed in Mexico as are repotted in Colorado, the whole country would be aflame at the horror of it. Whole families have been w iped out as a result of the strife between the stiilers on one side and the mine guards and militiamen on the other. Of the dead and wounded, the majority are women. There could have been no such massacre if the state got eminent of Colorado had not surrendered its ivitter to the Rockefeller Fuel & Iron coin panv. It has even done worse than that. After permitting the inhabitants of a large section to carry on warfare for months, the state has openly taken sides. Instead of using its authority to restore peace, the state has assailed the weaker of the two sides. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation in Colorado between Mr. Rockefeller and his employes may be, it is the duty of the state officials to enforce the laws without either fear or favor. The state has not done this. Its officials, hiding under the thin sham of martial law, hate sent their own armed agents in the community and these armed agents, the militia, have been more intent upon serving the Rockefeller interests than the state. William Rockefeller, Ir., recently testified that he would rather sink his entire Colorado holdings than yield to the demand of the strikers that they be allott ed to organize. Whether or not he is willing to sink or has sunk his entire fortune into the strike is a secondary matter. He has debauched an American commonwealth and the blood of American women and Amen' can children are on the hands of his cruel and barbarous agents. T INDEPENDENT of whether or not the sending of ships and men to Mexico is just, the present crisis with the southern republic has shown " one thing: that patriotism is as strong, that loyalty is as true now as it Las ever been in the history of the country. The action of the militia, the number of men who hat e enlisted in the regular army, and the general feel ing throughout the states all bear out this fact. College students, high school students, clerks, farmhands, men in all the walks of life are willing to join the army and fight for their flag. There are but few unmarried young men who are native born who are not willing to offer their life for their flag. The Mexican crisis has become the com mon topic of conversation for months and during the last few days the ques tion, "Would you enlist?" has become the favorite querry among men and the answer is always "Yes." The majority of married men would not hesitate to join the army in case the country were in danger. "If I were single I would go to war in a minute," said a Spanish-American war veteran of Oregon City recently, "and if this country were in danger I would leave my family and so would all the other veterans of the Sparmh-Asr.erican war." The action of the I. W. Wjj is merely a trifle. Their influence with the great body of the middle class of the republic, the class wherein the greatness of the country lies, is to make the members of that body more loyal than they would be otherwise. The mas of the workers express supreme contempt for the International Workers of the World and that recent dictum that they would strike before they would go to war has done nothing for the good opinion of the followers of the I. W. W. banner. The country at the core is solid and true. The followers of the sects such as the I. W. W., anarchism and the mot extreme types of Socialism, do not represent the great mass of the American people, but the floating, ir responsible class, mostly foreign born. What sensational declarations they may make must be considered harmless; their statements must be looked HE CONSTANT SUPERIORITY of a morning newspaper over an evening paper in completeness of news was thoroughly shown last week in the accounts of the Mexican situation. Each day the even ing paper would be forced to content itself with brief flashes of the crisis in the southern republic or with a rewritten account of the develop ments in the morning paper. The morning papers told the first account of Huerta's refusal to salute the flag; they told the first full accounts of the taking of Vera Cruz ; they told of Carranza's note of protest and they were the first to report Villa's reply to the statement of the rebel chief. Always the news of a morning paper is the most complete, the most authentic, for the simple reason that the morning paper hxs more time in which to prepare r.nd verify its news. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE The County Bonding Measure. ly unique, that It almost seems to have been Inserted In his letter for tha one purpose of prejudicing tliti people of incorporated towns against the bond Issue.

(2) That hard surfaced roads are unsatisfactory to farmers generally. (3) That Clackamas county should experiment by putting down short pieces of different kinda of roads be fore building. Taking his objections op In the or der named, his first contention, in lew of the fact that the town people are not kicking about the expenae of the bonding scheme. Is a weak one to be sure. Tula objection la so entire- fact seven years, which has coBt the county one million and a quarter, has been experimental In no small degree? And has it been successful? In case tho bonds carry we may all rest as sured that material the kind of hlgh waya to be constructed will be chosen only after mature deliberation with men who know.
