COMMISSIONER SMITH'S PLAN Gives his Ideas of Improving the County Road System ' (Molalla Pioneer) Commissioner Smith was in town Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Smith is a practical man and is buckling into the road problem earnestly ana while he recognizes it to be difficult to solve, believes a solution will be found. ,v He is fully convinced that system as followed in the past and present is a failure. In fact the present me thods cannot be called a system. He has a plan which will enable the county to build permanent roads without increasing the present ex penditure. In five years it would make all of the. trunk lines perma nent roads and allow as much im provements of the by-roads or feed ers as at the present time. After the trunk lines are all con verted into permanent roads it will be possible to commence making the same kind of durable highways on the side roads. His plan, briefly stated, is to put all road construction work under the supervision of a competent road building engineer and to use all of the road tax for the construction of modern roadways on the trunk lines. The side roads are to be kept up by special tax levied by the districts. If the tax amounts to $100,000 it will build twenty miles of first class road. The tax this year amounts to $244, 000, allowing $44,000 for bridges, which is more than the average am ount of annual expenditure, we would have $200,000 or enough to complete forty miles of road, estimating the cost at $5,000 per mile which should be sufficient. With this plan it would be possible to get roads built much cheaper than at present. The advantage of this plan is that it gets somewhere and in a short time would give Clackamas county permanent roads and in the mean time would keep the byroads in a passable condition. Five years faith fully following this plan would work Wonders. Mr. Smith does not approve the plan of letting the roads go to pieces for the want of attention at the right time.

IT Is safe to say that everybody Is seeking good, and not evij Everybody Is seeking pleasure, and not misery happiness, and not woe. The difficulty is that our judgments are more or less perverted. Some have greater wisdom than oth ers: but there Is none perfect, "none righteous, . no, not one." All coiue short of the glorious standard which God has set. The difficulty is that we were all born In sin, and are all misshapen. Not only our bodies are imperfect, bnt. our brains are nnbulanced some one way, some another. Consequently v o u n e men and maidens, looking !M forth from child- 'T'Tj knowieege hood upon the prob- ' -wisdom lems of life, have various conceptions of happiness, and make various reso lutions and endeav ors respecting the filling of tlieir cup with blessings long life, riches, honor, etc. The teachers of our schools have a School teachers' op portunity for good influence. most wouderful opportunity for Influ encing the course of humanity. We rejoice that they are striving nobly for the fullilment of gracious, benevo lent ideals, and are using their oppor tunities for blessing their pupils. Yel evidently many of them huve but a slight appreciation of their privileges. Some, of course, like the remainder of the world, are selfish, and think of their work from the business stand pointso much work, so much pay. The first and chief responsibility lrr children rests upon their parents, the majority of whom, no doubt, to some extent recognize- that responsibility 'lu God's sight and man's. But they labor under the difficulties of their own igno rance. They know not the proper course to take for themselves. Their lives have been a succession of blun ders, and they presume that their chll dren must blunder similarly. Not see Ing the principles underlying life's ex periences, they are unable to guide their children intelligently. Here teachers find their opportunity. But how little any one seems able to ac complish, and how discouraged philan thropists become! On the whole, however, a broad view of the post fifty years shows progress In many directions. Our cities are cleaner both physically and morally at least so far as outward appearances are concerned. No longer does vice flaunt itself in the face of society. The battle against Intoxication and the so cial evil Is making progress In that It' has made former conditions impossible. In some states the progress bus been niore than in others. New Issues Now New Temptations. Our lesson tells of n time In the bin tory of Israel when many of the uu tlon's wisest und most brilliant peopU had settled dowu to etise and luxury self -gratification. They considered tbnf they had won In the battle of life, imr! would now enjoy the fruits of tlieli diligence. The Lord through the Pro phet upbraided them, declaring He was nox pleased with such n course. lie told them thut woes would result. The mission of Amos was to call at tention to the fact that aggressive self ishness bad accumulated great riches, that the wealthy were living In luxury, and thut these conditions fostered pride and moral laxity amongst the wealthy; while the poor were being filled with avarice, losing respect for God, reli gion, truth and mercy. Society was on the edge of a volcano, and God de clared that an eruption was at hand. Present Day Conditions Correspond. Our lesson Is not Inappropriate to our times. Notwithstanding the prog ress made, notwithstanding the philan thropic HontiiiK'iits of many. Inside and outHlde Christian denominations, nev ertheless there Is danger.

"I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervouB I could not sleep, , then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost im possible to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would bo any better until I submitted to an opera tion. I commenced U.king Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compoimd and soon felt like a no w woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fum ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your : medicine." Mrs. IIaywakd Sowebs, Uodgdon, Maine. For 30 yearg Lydia E.
