This poem, so appropriate to- day. was printed In the Youth's Companion in ltii. It was writ- tea by Flavel Scott Mine. The sticks are laid on point and eras - The mountain fog hangs low. From rock and tree a misty flag Both la the n)Kht air blow. The sticks are laid with peat bem-tth To kindle at the brand, The guards have cant aside the sheath, And wau-h with sword in hand. The guards Kept watch through' .ought the night draw the foeman nigh. They scan the distant mountain height Where other watchers lie. They cannot pierce the misty veil The midnight's awful shade I3ut know that frn-nds who never fail The beacon pils have laid. And so. from point to point beyond. The sentinels, unseen. Stand watcb while a loving bond Hath bound all hearts be- tween. ' Tbey watch and wait'as minutes flee The -unlit beacon fir Are safeguards of their Lib " erty. The triumj.h of their sires. THE ROAD BOND BILL fff HE fact the East Oregon- ian is disposed to favor . the road bond bill will not deter this newspaper from presenting: both sides of the argument, as will be seen by the letter from the Farmers Union local given space today. Frankly, however, the ob jections raised do not seem im pressive to this newspaper. Whether the bonds are voted or not the auto licenses and the millage tax will have to be paid just the same. Then why no pet the roads? W here would there be any economy in voting them down? Good roads are of value from a military sandpoint. as has been shown in Europe and en our Mexican border. They are also of use for civilian pur- If our up through freight congestions, car shortage, seizure by the government for war purposes, or by damage to. tunnels or bridges the existence .of good highways would be a godsend. Thev would aid crop moving as well as passenger traffic, la fact they would become our chief reliance. As to the merits of bonding vs. the pay-as-you-go policy 01 roadbuilding the fact we have the six per cent limit on tax increase makes the bond plan the only course if real results are to be secured. The six per cent amendment so restricts the legislature and the county courts that it will be impossible to carry out any comprehensive road building program by use of current funds. Were it pos sible to use only current funds the course would not be equit able. Permanent highways will be used for many years, why should not the cost be so distributed that future auto owners and future taxpayers will meet thpir share nf the I i-urden: i . . 1 r 8C6NE ROM the OHEAT JC.ey' " COSY TODAY.

The volun teer plan leaves fire fighting to chance. The same principle applies to military service. When the country relies on the volunteer plan for .raising an army in time of need it takes grave chances. The men secured are neither trained nor equip ped. The government does not even know they will re spond. The thing is a gamble. Compulsory military service on the other hand will insure trained men of a sufficient number in the event the coun try needs them. They will be equipped and organized. They will serve because they are called not because of per sonal wishes.

Almost every railroad and every other private industrial development has been made through bond ing. All municipal develop ment, such as water systems, street paving, etc., is handled through bonding; if practical for private corporations or for municipalities why not for the state? Will not the benefits to be derived from good roads, consisting of reduced hauling c osts and less wear on wagons ehd motor cars, make up for the interest paid upon the bonds? J If the city of Pendleton had been unwilling to vote bonds lor improvements we would I still be a village without pavea streets, without a sewer system, without a levee and without a water system. LIKE A FIRE DEPARTMENT CtT ments have their useful- -Z ne?s but no city of much i size wishes to rely upon volun teers to carry on its fire fight- nr activities. A regular lire department is maintained. It is the businesslike way to If as reported there are Ger man submarines on the Pa cific they were sent here prior to our break with Germany and reveal the Teuton plans f gainst this country. Will not some of our heavy foothill land be good for two wheat crops in succession; the price will'-be very attrac tive this year from all appear ances. 4 Nothing slack about the lo cal Red Cross and Honor Guard Girls organizations.

Why Constipation Injures. The bowels are the natural sewer age system of the body. When they become obstructed by constipation a part of the poisonous matter which they should carry orr Is absorbed in to the system, making you feel dull and stupid, and Interfering with the digestion and assimilation of food.

LEADER OF NEW RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND HIS FAMILY j N'E objection raised here XziJ to the advice for back yard farming is that in tnany cases t!i ct of water fur irrigation purposes will al wiofrt offset th value of the crop produced. There iii some bans for this complaint. Can it not be rem edied by action of the water cwmmi.si-.ion? Why not for in--atance allow a rprtain amount f water mi nthly to each place raising a gtrdii of a certain i2e. In tl.at way household ers, would be encouraged to use thrir yard and parkings lnre.as otherwi.se thev might l'-t them go urtillud because of I Trie waU-r charges.
