ROSEBURG, OREGON,
IS A WOUTII WHILE PROGRAM
? Roseburg lias before its people a plan to create suffi
" cient interest in highway development in this county to bring
about the completion of the North Unipqua highway to
Crater and Diamond lakes, and it is a worth while undertak
ing a project that should command the attention of all our
people.' In private and public affairs it is always a good
; idea to have something to look forward to in the future
something that will occupy our minds and take us away
from petty and trivial affairs that are not of a substantial
; nature and to a degree retard the growth of the city and
i county when our lime and energy could be spent in a more
! constructive way. There is no one outstanding aecompll.sh-
ment at this time that stands to bring this section a higher
state of development than the completion of the roadway to
Oregon's two national resorts Crater and Diamond lakes.
It will, provide one of the most scenic highways in the en-
tire state, giving access to delightful recreation grounds and
opening a country that abounds in all kind3 of wild gamo
and the finest fishing. Thousands of people will bc brought
to this section and much wealth distributed throughout the
county by motorists and others, -Douglas county could by no
pthor means advertise its resources to greater advantage
than by constructing this highway, the greater part of which
is already completed.' Once a roadway is put through to
the lakes travel will compel other improvements which will
make the route complete in
, tion-wido attention. It is certainly a worth while project
and tonight's public meeting at the Antlers theatre ought
to. bo the most, enthusiastic ever held in Roseburg. It means
a lot for the entire county and with concerted effort on the
part of our people there is no question about the success of
..this. Very important undertaking., . ,

STATE PRESS
COMMENT
For the Patent's Purse
A subscriber aks us why It Is
necessary to keep changing public
school text-books in Oregon and
force parents to purchase new
ones so o.'ten, when the old ones
would answer, for in many case
the differences are inconsequen
UhI, and in seme Instances tbe dis
carded text Is superior to tho new.
The reason for constant text
book change is one of tho Insolu
ble mysteries of the school ma
chine which has managed to quad
ruple school costs in tho past 20
years, without nmte:!r.!ly improv
ing the output. The frequent
changes work a real hardship up
on fioor families and those of mod
est means, and benefit no one but
the book publishers.
A comparison or text books of
today with those of three and four
decades ago show no great im
provement, indeed, if we judge by
results, the school books of a by
gono generatl.i grounded pupils
more thoroughly In essentials and
hooks were passed along from el
dest to youngest, and then lo tbe
rising generation.
If changing school books im
proved tho schools. frequent
changes might be justified, bu tbe
changes are nieroly to carry out
some theorist's ideas and a few
years later dropped for some oth
er theorist's idea and later for. an
other, until finally the circle Is
completed and started anew from
the same old points.
For many decades McOuffey'a
readers were Iho standards, in our
schools and those who studied
their carefully graded and selected
miscellany wore hotter grounded
in KngHsb literature than any of
tbe generations since whose read
ers havo changed as often as the
chameleon changes his color. They
simply reflect tbe fads of the rul
ing casio.
There "orta be a law" prohibit
ing school-authorities and. com
missions from changing text books
so frequently and compel them to
regard the patent's purse rather
than either faculty foibles or pub
linhers' profits. Slem Capital

Portland's Curly Police.
Police aiiminisirution and traf
fic regulation in Portland are In
the handt ot Mayor Dnker and hi3
Chief of Police. The non resident
auto driver who enters Portland
takes a big chance.
Several examples have come to
our attention of extremely dis
courteous treatment and intemper
ate language to citizens of Oregon
who did not know they were vio
lating a traffic rule.
A Dallas man' who lias been a
city official, made the statement
recently that he would never tako
his car into Portland. This re
sults, doubtless, In loss of trade to
the metropolis, and every mer-
! chant and professional man In
that city is affected.
WiUiiu the pant two months, ob
servations have been made 'which1
show that, in some eases,' traffic
officers fall to distinguish between
the reputable citizen driving a car
jyid the criminal class.
Slight Infractions of rules, such
as a left turn where no sign was
posted to that effect, havo result
ed in a trip to the police station
for girls of seventeen and eigh
teen years, with a surly admoni
tion from (he ufficer. who could
just as well have been courteous
while correcting the erring driwr.
Some flagrant cases of bullying
have been observed. Three ladle
stopped in front of a store; one
alighted to get a package which
whs all ready for her, and was
sent to the police station, for
double parking. Rather than face
a Monday morning crowd of of
fenders, tbe ladies, through an un
derstanding with tho desk official,
paid two dollars and woro told
that they could forfeit the deposit.
At the same time, delivery trucks
and oilier cars were double parked
along the same street in. open vio
lation of the rule for which tbe
women were sent to tho hoose
gow. Holdups and bootlegging thrive
In Portland under the eyes of po
lice, but the woman driver, who,
perhaps tin wittingly, violates a
rule, or at least with no Intention
to break the regulations, driven
with trepidation to a store is never
mi re that she will not be roughly
addressed and ordered to report ui
headquarters.
It seems to hn tbe conviction of
Portland police that a surly, domi
neering attitude, with a "Hey
there!" -must be -employ oil In en
forcing the lav.-.
There are some exceptions
men on the force who aro cour
teous and yet effectively firm, hut
the avernue traffic nfflcer In Port
land thinks ulnisi-ir supremo, and
Hoes not hesitate to put on an
ugly frown, orten accompanied by
rough '-Mimiago.
A Salem citizen recently railed
attention to this habit fit the po
ller, and it would bo well for
Mayor P-aker and his Chief of Po
lice to think it over.
Kefcntnient kindles In the mlmh
of men and women, so treated, and
because harshness N needless it
should be supplanted by rirmnesf,
with a decent denrce of courtesy.

Infantile Paralysit
Infantile paralysis cases through'
out the country are Increasing in
number. The public health service
report that CM cases were known
to be under treatment In the week
enrtlnp September 17. as against
5.")0 for the week before. There
may not be an actual Increase of
that size, because nome of tb-
(rases may have been in existence
before, although coming unuer no
itiee of tbe health servlro during
; that week. Hut by the ?"ni token
j where ihere are observed rases In
! these number, it stand tn reason
jllint there are many more esses
icxisitnu unrecognized.

Poor Clowny Tinymlto was scar
ed, for very badly he had fared.
The cannibals bad captured him,
which filled them with delight.
When tbey had tied him to a tree
they danced around and howled in
glee. Twas quite enough to Rive
most ar.one an awful fright.
But, my, what could poor Clowny
do? He simply waited 'cause he
knew tht all tho other Tinymltes
would shortly help him out. He
felt he'd like to yell because
'twould let them know just where
be was. On second thought, how
ever, he decided not to -bout.
And, in the meantime, on a hill,
his friends were keeping very BtlM.
Tbey planned to help poor Clowny
so that he could get away. Said
Coppy, "I will tell you what. This
plan will work, as like as not."
Tho others then were pleased to
hear what Coppy had to say.
"We'll built a monstrous fire,
said he, "and, us it burns we'll
hide and see if it attract:; the
cannibals away from Clowny'a sido.
If it should put them in a th:;:n and
they come running toward ihe
blaze, the rescuing of Clowny from
the tree trunk can be tried."
The Tillies thought this plan
was Rieat and so they didn't hesi
tate. They scampered 'round to
gather wood ami pile it up real
high. Rig logs wore dragged from
hero and there, nnd sticks picked
up from everywhere. They plan
ned to have their bonfire reach
uway up to the sky.
Of course they worked for quite
a while, but progress made the
whole h;inch -smile. The mon
strous stuck it kindling wood was
very fino to scan. When they
wore done, 'mid low hurrays, wee
oaso, before they aro over its ef
fects. Some of them will never
bo entirely well.
Like ail disousos, , the quicker
the doctor sees it the better it can
bo handed. iThero is nothing to
cause widespread terror, but the
slightest Illness of any kind should
bo reported to tho doctor. His
word that, the disease is not pres
ent in the child will he a great
comfort; nnd if there is any danger
of spinal trouble, tho chances, lor
recovery are-multiplied many time

will bo necessni-y to move a barn
and shed and perhaps a house that
now obstructs portions of tho pro
posed right of way. This, however,
would givo a direct1 and straight
connection betwoen Fowler Btreot
and Second Avenue south.
liy setting the bridge at an angle
across the stream and putting the
approach on a curve, tho road
could be built nlong tho property
line, v.hero the owners are willing
to donate a right of way. Thero is
a good deal of objection, however,
to putting tho bridge on an angle.
It is pointed out that this would re
sult in changing tho course of the
stream in such a way that In tbe
event of high water' the curreu'.
would probably wash out 1 a tare
section of the. upper part of tho
camp grounds and the city would
probably havo a larger damage to
pay than if right of way on a
straight Hue is secured. It Is also
contended that thero are now too
many crooked and angling streets
in Roseburg nnd that no more
should bo added. The improvement
is to be a permanent one and' even
if the cost is now a little higher It
will bo tho best policy to run the
bridge and road on a straight line.
In the event it is decided to cut
straight .through from Fowler
street to Second avenue the city
will probably go to court and con-

Pitching Staff of Pirates
Much Stronger Than Yankees
(.KSoriitwt Ircs I. rased Wire)
PITTSHURGH, Oct. 4. Pitching
is usually an uncertain although de
cisive factor In world's serioii ccn
petition.
Victory, on the average, has gone
to" tho club with one' or two
twirling aces. The records are full
of -tho trlumps that conto in base
ball's classic through the feats of
Mathewsou, Coombs, Adams, Cov
eleskie and Alexander. -
If pitching is to bo the turning
influence In this week's battle the
Pirates seem to have a, better
chance of victory that tbe Yankeer..
Ruth, Gehrig and their mates may
mow down the Corsair curvers but
on form, but for tho reason the sea
son as well as during the past
month, the Pirato pitchers appear
a bettor . equipped lot than tho
Yankee staff.
Tho average of earned runs oft
Pirate hurlers for tho last month
has been only 2.46 a game, off the
Yankees, 3.34.
It will be chiefly a battle of right
handcrs, at any rate,. Dutch
