"The Problems and Perplexities of th City Pastor" was his them. Hs said, in part: "The corruption so prevalent today leads us to wonder what the end will be. Is ther an end? Read the message of history. Decay of the great centers in Rome presaged th destruction of th empire. Our serious problems are not foreign, but belong- to the Nation ttaelf. and arise from tha conditions in the congested centers of population, if the cities are lax in morals the Nation must go down. "If Christianity falls, if it Is not able to grapple with the problem of tha city, dork and menacing- a that prob lem la, it will not be able to save th world. Christian men ought to give attention to evangelism in the cities, for the cities cannot bs saved unless time, money and effort are spent.

Becaus tha measure failed to provide for supervision over the expenditure of state money aet aside, and to whom the money shMll be pnld for construction of state-aided ronds. the Oregon Uood Roads Aesoclatlnn last night practically went on record as recommending to Governor West that he veto tha $340,000 appropriation made by tha Legislature to counties in support of good roads. The Gmernor has until Friday to consider the bill. There was only a small sttendance at the meeting last night In the Bock building over which Dr. Andrew C Smith presided. The four laws consid ered were: State Highway Commission law, the state-aid law, the bonding act and the law for employment of county snd city prisoners on tho public roads. Of all the acts the one providing for the State Highway Commission seemed to meet with the most approval. President Smith contended that the law is value less because it takes away from the State Highway Commissioner all author ity and that "he exists only to s've advice." Webster Approves Bill. Judge Webster said he regarded the Highway Commission law aa the "best piece of good roads legislation acquired in the history of the state and one that every member of the -good roads organi sation would be proud of before the coming two years had rolled by." "I am free to say that the law Is not as good as I would like it but it is ex actly as the state association InJorsed with one exception. That Is state-aid roads receive only the services of the State Highway Commissioner In an ad visory capacity. Under the old bill he had control of the expenditure of the state money used In the construction uf the roads. That would have been better if we got it. But we could not. It was an utter impossibility owing to tne peculiar condition In the Legislature. Good Result Expected. "However I want to express to you gentlemen my unqualified pleasure In the fact that we have got a good roads law which, in the end, will work to the good of the state. The fact that the Highway Commissioner has only advisory powers Is not Dartlcularly objectionable for back of it is the public sentiment which will work wonders. I expect to see the counties take advantage of the advice or the State Commissioner snd begin build ing roads right away. There exists to day in the State of Oregon a very strong sentiment for good roads. That sentiment Is so strong and sp vigorous that it will produce the right kind of roads. Just the kind that we want. I may be mistaken, but unless I read the signs of the times incorrectly we are on the way to good-road building. This very sentiment will make It obligatory for various road supervisors to build the rlfrht kind of roada, permanent roads which will be connected with some main system and bring chaos out of our pres ent situation." Law Is Lacking;. The law providing for an appropria tion of 1310,000 is unique in that it pro vides that I5U00 shall be expended by the state treasury for every $5000 which the county shall expend on its own ac count. This Is to be for 1911 and a similar amount for 1912. But In no section of the act does it provide how th money shall be drawn from tho state treasury, nor does It provide for whom the Secretary of State shall draw the warrants for the road Supervisor, the County Commissioner or the County Judge. No provision Is made as to how the money shall be expended. Commissioner Is Limited. The main objection to the bill creating the Highway Commissioner is found In section 6 in which it sets forth that -such road if to be constructed under the general advisory supervision of the State Highway Commissioner." When it comes to the appointment of engi neers to supervise the work the State Highway Commissioner must, "other things being equal, give preference to local men In making the sppolntments." The law providing for the Issuance of bonds for the construction of roads In counties provides submission of the question by special election and that tho roads on which the money is to be ex pended must be specified In the ballots to be voted. In the county-prisoners' act whl:h provides for the use of county and city prisoners on roada. several changes were mad from the original bill introduced by the association. Laws Before Committee. Upon a motion of John S. Beall all the laws were referred to a special com mittee of five to report Thursday at 1 o'clock In the afternoon In the Com mercial Club parlors for the purpose of determining their legality and their ef fectiveness from the standpoint of the Oregon State Good Roads Association. Should the association determine to dis approve the law appropriating $340,000 ror roads It will ask the Governor to veto the bill. As It stands the associa tion is a unit in favor of the veto. The committee named to peruse the bills is composed of W. C. Bristol. James Cole. C T. Praal, L. R. Webster and A. C. Smith.

COUPLE MET IN PORTLAND Daisy Davis, Mpthodlst Episcopal 3Iisslon Worker In Portland Five Years Ago, to Marry For mer Salem Chinese. VANCOUVER. Wash., Feb. 20. (Spe cial.) Daisy Davis, ZL years old and a Methodist Episcopal worker In a mission on First street in Portland five years ago, today came to Vanoouver with Harry Toy. or Toy Non, 24 years old, a wealthy merchant of Port Angeles, 'Wash., and they secured a license to marry. Ceclle M. Hlrch. also 21. was a witness. The ceremony will be per formed In a mission in Seattle 'Wednes day afternoon at S o'clock by a regular minister, Uiey said. Before noon today Toy and a Govern ment interpreter at Port Angeles, with the two women, arrived from Portland and found Henry Crass, an attorney, whom they retained in case his services were necessary. , Toy Once Lived In Salem. When asked where she first met Toy, Miss Davis said it was when she was assisting in teaching the Chinese boys In a Methodist Episcopal mission in Portland five years ago. Toy is the son of a Chinese druggist, who formerly lived In Salem, Or. He came to America 10 years ago and has his necessary papers with him. Toy is a member of the Methodist Church, he says, and he acts as Govern ment interpreter when he is needed at Port Angeles. When questioned Miss Davis said: "There are quite a number of white girls getting married to men from China, and I do not see why they should not. I have known Harry for five years and he has never spoken a cross word to me in all that time. My trousseau is being made in Seattle and won't be done till I get back. The wedding is set for Wednesday and the arrangements are being looked after by Harry's friends. You know the Chinese won't let you furnish your own house. They furnish it for you. "Yes, I like Harry real well. I saw In the paper about one woman who mar ried a Chinaman not long ago, but I think she married for money. It is not so In my case." When it was suggested that Harry Toy was wealthy, she continued: "Yes, that is so, too. I never will want for any thing, and besides I haven't always been very well, and if I get sick I know I will have the best of care and nothing to worry me." Jewels Cost High Figure. Blie said her jewels and trousseau cost Harry 1110. "They gave us a big ban quet in Portland last night. Some of them did not go to bed till 6 o'clock this morning, but I knew I had to come over here early so I retired early with my maid. "I tell you one thing," said Miss Davis, "the newspapers say that that Emery girl, who married that Jap, are separated and do not get along very well, but that is not true. I have been living in Seattle not very far from where they live, and they are getting along fine. And they have the sweetest little baby girl. I don't think it is right for the papers to say they are not living together when they are." Miss Davis has lived in ' Iowa, went west, to San Francisco, and said she came up from there recently and again met Tov at a Chinese New Year's cele bration in Portland, rled once before. She has been mar- DEBATING LEAGUE IS LOST Triangular Forensic Plans In Wash ington Schools Declared Off. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Feb. 20. (Spe cial.)
