The Mcdford Mall-Trlbuno Is any thing but optomlstlu over the out coino of the election, ob far an it re lated to the proponed roud bills, Buys the Eugene fluard. "Hell Is said to he paved with good Intentions, but even tills cheap form of road iinproement would lie voted ngalnxt by tins Oregon mnsHljacks In liadee. "This is the only kind of road Im provement permitted the people of OreKon at prevent. The net result of the election has been tbo defeat of all constructive road measures e cept the convict road measures, and the passage of uncalled for and 1111 needed measures still further re stricting road building and rendering an extensive system of good roads impossible. "The road situation Is (ar worse than It was berorn election. Then all that was needed to permit coun ties to construct permanent roads was a simple enabling act providing the proceeduro for culling bond elections. "Instead of passing such an act, as was offered by t ho (irango and by the Home Utile bill, two constitution al amendments were passed, one re stricting the stnte from contracting road Indebtedness for more than two per cent of the assessed valuation, and one restricting counties from contracting rond Indebtedness for more than two per cent of the as sessed valuation. "The constitution now forbids the Incurrence of any Indebtedness for state road building In exeunt of two per cht or the assessed valuation of the property In the state, but an en abling act is still needed to enable the state to spend a penny." Possibly it would he a good plan for more counties in the state to take up the I. une ('nunty,.ldea. We have now fully one-fourth or the proposed Pacific highway through the county constructed of hard surluco macadam and have been working at It but two years. In lour or five years it will extend, ,lf the work Is continued, en tirely through the county, and there will he other Btretchea of per manent road work besides. It Is be ing paid for au built, without incur ring bonded or other Indebtedness. If the counties wait for a compre hensive plan of state road building to be adopted. It is moro than likely that our people will travel over muddy highways for muny yeara to come.

In tests, the new fourteen-litch guns threw a distance of seven miles. a projectile ti", inches long anc weighing ltiOO pounds. They can throw such a projectile through any armor plato now afloat. The newly launched battleship New York is to bo fitted with ten such weapons They are to be used also- ill tho forti fications at either end of the Panama canal and ill the harbor at Manila. Put there is insistence that the sixtccn-iuch rifle is to be perfected and that battleships to he built will mount batteries of such calibre. 'I'hero is suggest inn that the great drcndiiuught provided for by tho IuhI Congress may lie built on lines to narry slxteen-llicli guns will) power to pierce armor plute or two or tnrec times tho present thickness and at a distance of more than seven miles. Hlx Hudson Maxim says the "UnUed Ktntcs has guns that can fire shells which will penetrate any .known armor and uxplodo within t tic ship." ile declares that armor plate for warships Is virtually use less and that every government knows It. To what nbusiirdltiea Is the war craze leading civilization? Why pile money on money when we know be forehand that the armored vessel is now becoming obsolete, and as use less for naval purposes us the dis carded wooden frigate of 50 years ago? Woodrow Wilson will render the world high service If ho lakes up the peace treaties where President Tart was forced to lay them down, and push them to a- final realization. There is no moro exalted field for the exerciso of his rare powers of statesmanship. llltHATIIH IIYOMKI AND I0ND CATAItltll.

INTERESTING FACTS 01 Vital Interest To Young or Old Your Success In Lire DcjhwiiIh Upon Your Ability l t'hooso tliu Right Course, and Oiico Sim-led to Stuy to tliu 10ml. Here Is a story which should be read carefully by every father and mother, as well us every young man and young wuiuiiu In tbo city of Kosebiirg. It contains facts that are of vital interest and could mean suc cess or raliuru to those who read, de pending of course as to whether you follow the advice given or do not, as tho case may be. Every mother and every father Is interested first in the health of their children and secondly in their Buccess iu life. Health comes first because out later success depends on our phy sical fitness to go out into the world ;ind successfully cope with the prob lems which constantly contront us. Then tho boyB and glrlB must be taught to guard their health at all times. Hut I am not selling a patent medi cine but endeavoring to get men and women to think ulong a line which will insure nut only their success, but tho success or their children, "It" they aro fortunate enough to have any. "If" the father leads a worthless life and sets n bad example for his sons to follow ho can hardly expect anything but worthless sons and not oniy that but lie mny be tho means of auslng the downfall of other men s sons. Not only am I not Belling health, but t am not trying to reform the world. What I urn trying to do Is to get my reader to THINK. You have fol lowed me this fur In the story. I ask you to read to the end and If you do not agree with me come and see me and "If" I can't prove that I ;im right I will at least be honest enough to admit my error and quit the business 1 am In. Will you do It? Will you puss an honest opinion on this story and let me know what you honestly think? Now to the real story. Ten years ago a representative of the great "Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York" camo to the ity of Rosoburg and succeeded tn writing a number or you citizens imllcles oil their lives. Other agents for other companies have written others and so on down the line since that time mid before. The rent story liters about the life of one young man. well known to a great many oi vmi. u ml a man who has lived a inlet, honest Hie. Tills young man. though saving and rrilgnl, has not accumulated auvthlng to speak ot. He lias paid Ills debts and lived fair ly well anil Is counted a Hrst rate lilen of this city. Ten years ago lie Insured with the Mutual Life and last May made the Inst payment on Ills pnllcv. which Is now paid up for Hie. thereby giving hliu an annual Income for life nnd Ills helieflclary tho race of the policy at Ills death. This voiinc iiiiiii was ulllliurried wnen lie look mil this policy hut has since married and now has a family, til ls proud of the fuel that he has ac cumulated a guaranteed estate nt the age of onlv 2!' years and that he did it all In Hie period of just ten yenrs.

He did not think much or his 1 insurance, rather looked upon It as a burden and once or twice thought or dropping It. A short time ago this young man lost all his accumulations and today has nothing but his Insur ance to speak of. He could have car ried a much larger policy and bad he done so would today be in a posi tion to borrow on his policy enough money at 5 per cent to start in again on a pretty good basis. Another young man I know did not Insure ton years ago and does not carry any insurance today. He al ways told the agent that he could make more with his money by in vesting it in some other way and the honest agents always told him that he. could do better from an Invest ment standpoint In many other ways, but that he would not be so safe. This young man has made money on some deals and on Borne he has lost money, so that today he has very lit tle to show for his work for the past ten years, not nearly as much In pro portion as the first man mentioned.

C llOKS A HEX PAY HKIt HOAItll? The following Is taken from the current Issue of Farm and Fireside: "Poultry-men are now debating whether the hen or pullet is callable of the greatest egg production. There Is good argument on both sides. "Some claim that, while hens lay less than pullets, they lay larger and heavier eggs, and because of this fact, the eggs command a better price than those laid by pullets. ThlB Is true, but In many sections of the United Stntes eggs are sold without grading nnd, consequently the small er egg Is liable to rommund as good a price as the larger one. "Otiiers are In favor of pullets be cause they lay so many eggs which, they claim, possess a better flavor than those laid by hens. No one dis putes the fact that pullets luy more eggs than hens. "The question of which Is the bet ter, hens or pullets, will never bo answered so that It will please every one. It Is simply a mutter of the likes and dislikes of the individual pooltryman. "Personally the writer favors pul lets. "The eggs of pullets do not hatch as well as those of hens. Not only that, but the chicks do not seem near ly so strong and lively ns those from hen eggs. For this reason, then, the writer would advise pullets for mar ket eggs and hens for breeders. "The falling off of the number of eggs from the first year to the se ond year of the hen's life ti about fifty eggs. This Is quite an item and because of this fact, many claims that a hen does not pay her board. At the average price of eggs during the winter, SO eggs would mean about two dollars In money, which is quite a loss for each hen. "Hens that are kept for breeding should be ones that have never been forced for heavy egg production. He cause of the terrible strain on their reproductive systems, the larger per cent of their eggs are Infertile, and what chicks do hatch nro weak." Host Medicine for Coughs and Oolils. "I am pleased to recommend Chamborlnln's Cough Remedy as the heat thing 1 know of and safest reme dy for coughs, colds and bronchial troubles," writes Mrs. L. B. Arnold, of Henver. Colo.
