HOSEBURG.i OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 192
ARE YOU GOING TO BE A KILLER?
;' Statisticans have announced that during the year 1928
there Will be 23;50Q people killed in traffic accidents. More
thaii' 700,000 'W11 be injured. Sooner or later we are going
ta realize that our traffic problem is something that must
b,a tackled in a big way. Twenty-three thousand deaths in
one year! As many lives as were lost in the battle of Get
tysburg! When are we going to wake up and do something
about it? All of these deaths, of course, will be accidental.
Barring some, that will be caused by drunken 'or mentally!
deficient drivers (perhaps we should say "and" instead of
"pr") they will all be caused by people who have the best
intentions in the world people who, today, would give their
automobile away if they1 knew they were going to take a
life sometime this. year. The speeder will, cause some of
them the man who is in such a hurry to get wherever he
is going that he forgets that pedestrians, little children es
pecially, can suddenly appear on a highway without warn
ing. ' The road hog will cause othersrthe driven who wants
to stick in the middle of the road, the driver who makes
it a point of honpr not to give, an inch more space to the other
motorist than he has to.. (The "take a chance!'! idiot will
cause many more the driver who zips by another car on
the wrpng sidtj .and trusts to luck that the other driver won't

As we enter the Now Year this paper wants to speak
a kind word for a mail 'Who 'has done much constructive work
for Roseburg during the past year a fellow who has "been
on his toes" ' at.', all ; times land a substantial cog
in the industrial i and. civic welfare of 'the commun
ity., .Of course, everybody, doesn't like him.. There never
has been a man who has acted in the. same capacity and made
himself popular with everybody. It simply cannot be don'J.
Ti'he public ust doesn't want it that way, and jlltis is the best
recommendation we can offer for the gentleman., Any man
who really does things straight out" from tne shoulder creates
a' yttlo. dissatisfaction anipng certain, people,' which makes
him all the 'more valuable ''tp hd city that? he sorves. The

Dear, Editor.
I read in your paper of Wed Jan
4 an article stating thnt a meet.
Ing of "Garden Euthuslasts" would
bo held' next Sat. for the purpose
of trying to organize Garden Clubs
in an effort to bring about the
beautification of homes & thus
have a "more beautiful Roseburg."
That is a grand idea, but it seems
to me that at the samo time a
club or "school" should be organiz
ed whereby parents, especially
mothers could be taught that the
place for their children to play is
"in their own yard," & not forever
distroying other peoples lawns &
flowers. I was forced to quit rais
ing flowers I have no lawn & am
almost at the place where I can
not even have a vegetable garden
in my . back yard . on account, of
other peoples children.. These par
ents have yards, alleys A "flow
ers" so wont allow the children to
play there. ,ohildren are the jife
of 'the world' ot. must have a place
to piny but why not play on their
own property oV not on the prop
erty of those who have no chil
dren. Its not only annoying but
-its teaching tneir children to oe
'celflsh, & disrespectful of other
peoples rights. It Is not that peo
ple dislike children, but that Ill-bred
children are just a plain nuisance
distracting & nerve-wracking 4
these parents ere raising their chil
dren up to bo dispised by everyl
one on account of their disrespect
fulness. Unlessj the minds sOf the!
parents can' be changed it Is hope-'
less to try to change the minds of
the children. To lie, to steal & de
stroy, to play before- other; peoples
houses instoad of their 'own' they
consider their right. This kind of
training also encourages other eV
greater roi'lmeo "Murder." Do we
not need a school for our parents &.
thus - make a Beautiful Roseburg

well as flowers. SUBSCRIBER

The Wise
Business Man
Knows that his personal ap
pearance has much to do
with commanding respect .of
others. That is why so many
in Douglas county always
wear Hnrth's Toggery
clothes. These garments are
faultlessly tailored, perfectly
fitted and modern in every
respect. Incidentally they
cost no more.
Featuring the Dodge Ilrothers
display itt the J. C). Newland & Son
motor show is the new Victory Six,
which embodies a number of Inno
vations in automotive construction
and duHign. t JJesides, the , wholly
Victory Six, a range of modols will
be ithow n of tho recdntly in trod uo
od Senior Six and the Dodge four.
A dinplay of : Graham Brothers
trucks will also be included.
Unique methods have been- em
ployed to obtain the low, long
sweeping Hiwb dictated by present
day Ideas of fashion and stylo. In
stead of building bodies1 separate
from tho frame, as- is i standard
practice, the Victory Six designers
have Invented a double-steel sholl
body which, in effect, Is a unit
with the frame, eliminating the
conventional sills and cross-mem-burs.,
.i
As; one1 result, they-have devel
oped a enr with standard road
clearance, but so low in over-all ,
meusurumont that a person ot or
dinary liolght can look over the top
of It. Co operative advantages in
clude a road holding low center of
gravity, sturdy construction, the
elimination of scores of pqueak-and-rattle
sources, and a roomy Interior
quite at variance with the compact
appenninr of the car as seen from

This year's standard Hues of
Dodge Brothers passonger cars
will he delivered In a variety of
colors and color combinations,
(hauki to a bright idea that re
cently has been developed' in the
automotive industry's paint shops.
As the bodies come down the pro-:
duct ion line, some go to men who
specialize solely on green paint,
some to men who perform their nr
tlHth: functions only with red, or
black, or htmv or even rublcelli
Ih'Ici', Thus the Interests of quan
tity production are served, and the
ulthiv.ite purchaser who likes
distinctive paint job gets what he
wants without paying a custom
price. Dodge Brothers production
schedules are so larce for lO'.'S that
possibly twenty or more color va
i tut inns and combinations will be
offered in the course of the year.
"For thirteen years Dodge Hi-others

Prunes and Printing

prunes and California primes are

In which California packers have

they are, war. without sanction by
congress, vhich :alone haa author

declaration of war is made against
an. organized, government, not
(against a bandit chief. The only
thing to do with him Is to pursue
him, and his band until tuny are
killed or captured or surrender.,! ,
Any doubt as to the impartial

proved.' groundless 'by1, tho result of
the recent local elections, held
under American supervision. If
the charge had been true that the

would have been manipulated in
favor of the conservatives. On the
contrary, the liheruls wort in the
great majority of cities and dis

Americans who question the in

but of course it will not; Their
fertile imaginations will concoct
new fictions. ' . . .
