A NEW ROAD PLAN Outlining a THAT HAS MERIT system for fed- . eral aid In good roads work, yet not in any way encroaching upon state sovereignty, Sen. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has suggested a bill to congress ;, which will provide for a national highway fund and a board to control its expenditure among the 48 states in proportional amounts. The mea sure takes into consideration the var ious plans that the several states may have, and is in no way mandat ory upon any of them as far as par ticipation goes. In short, it . leaves the states free to make use of a share of the fund if they so desire; and if they do not, leaves them equal ly free to pass the matter by. Proportionate distribution of the fund is based upon land area,- popula tion, assessed valuation of property and the present mileage of roads in any given year. Under these factors a percentage is determined for each state, and this percentage of the na tional fund may be drawn annually for use within the borders of any state. Undar an outline of the plan eas drawn up by the statistician of the special joint committee on federal aid in construction of post roads, of which Mr. Bourne is chairman, Ore gon would receive were the law in effect now $16,600,000 out of a na tional fund of one billion dollars. Were the national fund less, Oregon's share would be proportionately less. The Bourne plan provides for much co-operation between the state and the federal government, not only in the original construction of roads, but in their maintenance; and it al so offers a strong bar to "pork bar- Officeholding For Motives of Distinction Serves Country Best By MARTIN H.

It seems to be one of those cases in which, under the conditions of our government, a compromise will have to be arranged between two ex tremes. Our old system of regarding office purely and simply a? the REWARD OF POLITICAL SERVICES has been greatly modi fied in recent years by the introduction of civil service laws," but tiii wholesome cheek cannot be carried to the point where the country WOULD BE RULED BY ,AN OFFICEHOLDING ARISTOO; EACY OF MERIT. The people would not tolerate it, and their feeling in the matter is based upon a very sound'understanding of the fact that what the country might gain in some directions by having a highly trained bureaucracy it would more than lose in other directions by withdrawing the bulk of the people from any interest in adminis tration and more gradually from any interest in politics.

In short, it seems "to provide a reason able and equitable means of federal aid in highway construction in such a way that both the nation and the states would be benefitted. Good roads are perhaps the greatest fact ors in the line of progress and devel opment that concern any and all sec tions of the country; and the adop tion of some reasonable and equit able plan for general co-operation in this line of work is devoutly to be wished. It is to be hoped that the presentation of the Bourne plan will lead congress to adopt either it, or one as good. HOW DOTH THE Gladstone, often BUSY, BUZZY BEE times mentioned in these columns, is a community of progressiveness and much merit. It is doing marvels in the line of muni cipal development, and it takes " a pride in its advancement that is most commendable. Comes now, however, a truthful citizen of the neighboring city who bears a tale even Aesopian in its novelty; a tale that is a com panion one to the parable of the man who went to the ant for inspira tion. The tale concerns a common, garden variety of bee, and that most homely and useful of inventions, the sewing machine. According to the Gladstone man, his wife heard much buzzine about her se.wine machine me otner aay, ana upon investigating found a bee industriously engagedin building a cell for herself in one of the round, nickle-ferruled keyholes of the cabinet thereof. The sapient in sect had entered by a nearby window, spied the dark circlet of the keyhole, and at once determined therein to nest. Thus do Gladstone bees show their appreciation of one of man's most useful inventions. Gladstone bees should be bred carefully and import ed to other climes. Any insect that appreciates a sewing machine will bear cultivation and study, and possi bly will show other traits as marvel ous. It is to be hoped that more will be heard of this intelligent bee, and that the products of its industry will be added to the display of Clack amas county products. Elsewhere it may be "go to the ant, thou slug gard;" but in Gladstone, it seems, it is no longer' a question as to "how ., . , . , ...... . .. .. if it were possible in tliis country MORNING ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, Poor Little Scoop - You Could Hardly Blame Him doth the little busy bee improve each shining . hour." When a bee selects a nickel-plated keyhole, as its own particular hive, that bee is surely a shining example of insect intelli gence. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Ellen Ml Rockwood to Edith G.

But I never beard it that I did not wonder at the sort of dry mind that could transfer its aridity to the most delightful and human study in the world To him who sees the golden thread of the divine running through it history is a sort of holy writ. The annals of the last nineteen hun dred years are in u way a continuation of our Christian Bible, the unfoldment of the plans there formulated. All drama, fiction and poetry are but history revealed through seeing eyes Not infrequently it is revealed in dis torted form. If read understanding the real record is more beautiful than these fancies drawn from it. for it is uearer the truth and therefore has. deeper depths than even the novelist or poet lias seeu. History is romance, religion, politics, poetry, heroism, tragedy and drama all rolled into one. ' Did you never read it and identify yourself with its characters, thus liv ing over the old scenes? If not yon have failed to b'nd the soul History is the gigantic drama of the ages, with some unseen hand shifting the scenes. Did you never imagine the delightful pastoral scenes and the simple fIk that lived when the world was young -the folk that talked of fairies and or wonders, who saw God in the clouds and the rising and setting suns, who heard his voice in the thunders, who believed the old tales, wilb their mira cles and divinii ies? Did you never picture yourself as a knight or a lady fair of ye olden time': Did yon never gain a thrill and a high er ideal from the battles for liberty and tbe martyrdoms of the far days when the world was young? History reveals us to ourselves be cause reveals man. It enlarges us because it gives us a glimpse into the lives of large souled men and women. As we read ii we are the kings, the heroes, the deliverers, the liberators We live over the great deeds of the past. History reveals to us our own age. shows ns the meaning of the struggles through which we are passing, warns us of the pitfalls, holds out to us a hope of better things. Study of the progress of the past gives us faith in the future. Head history, but read it "between the lines. Read it with understanding, in sight and quick sympathy, and read It to discern the divine hand behind it that shapes It ever to better ways' and nobler ends. Iodine Stains.

Cincinnati Reds' Manager Declares More o't Detroit's Star Class Would Be Welcomed by lim "Better Be Too Fresh Than Too Modest," Tinker. "Pepper is the main ingredient in successful baseball, and the boys now breaking in haven't got any." Thus mourns Joe Tinker, manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, and there is rea son for his wail. The rising generation has as much pepper in it as a carefully filled sugar bowl. "When I cut into this game," contin ued J. T., "1 thought it was up to me to be full of life and ginger, to keep things cheered up, to make a noise and keep right on making one. I did so, and a large part of what success 1 have achieved is diie to this part of my char acter In my opinion baseball is a vent for life and spirits, an escape valve for healthy, noise and harmless vigor. It is also a field where spirit and pepper bring the best results, and the most successful ball teams of my experience have always made good on this idea. "You'd think that a young player newly come from the brush with all the advantages of life, of strong, fresh physique, of joints and sinews free from the stiffened pains of age, would "yelp and squawk from the very joy of his existence. You'd think that he'd butt into this game that he has made his profession, this game wherein he makes his living and where he hopes to rise, to superiority, with a whoop and a rush, a yell and a disturbance. You might' expect an old. tired ball player to be stern and silent, but would you expect clamlike stillness from a kid? "And yet these kids are as quiet around the whole circuit as so many potatoes. Like potatoes, they have eyes, and most of them show the same quantity of ebullient spirit and bril liant intellect. They come and go like mopping mutts. They walk around like frightened shadows. They go into their work as if they owed an apology for being permitted to cumber the earth. All day long you never near a squeal, out oi no pepper. uo ambitio "Or course some of hear n squeak out of them no life. on. them are afraid they will be called down for being too fresh.

Was Tvrus Cobb a nn ek reining mope, er was he so fresh that all the other Tigers wanted to lick hi in for his impudence?
