'Carranza's interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine was a mistake, al
though I believe Carranza was per
fectly sincere in the belief his policy
was best for Mexico."
General Obregon plainly showed the
strain under which he has been labor
ing for more than six months. He was
coatless as he talked, his voice was
hoarse, a ten days' growth of beard,
heavily shot with white, covered his
faco. Outside the little hotel in Tacu
bayaa suburb, ' where he was making
temporary headquarters, the narrow
street was jammed with automobiles
and spectators.
At the entrance to the hotel a small
squad of Taqui Indian soldiers at

Inside, a tiny patio was crowded with
visitors and officers. A white-clad
sentry who stood at the doorway of
the first two small rooms occupied
by Obregon and his chief of staff had
difficulty preventing the crowd from
pressing through the flimsy door.

STATE COMMISSION CASSOT
RE-ROUTE HIGHWAY.
Court Sustains Contention of Town
Which Was to HaTe Been
Left Off Thoroughfare.
' ROSEBTJRG, Or.. May 13. (Special.)
y- With state highway commission
contracts -et aside and a precedent
for future transactions established.
Judge Skipworth yesterday rendered a
decision in the Myrtle creekCanyon
vftle cut-olf road controversy which
is a sweeping victory for S. H. Rock
hill, representing the city of Riddle,
and prevents the highway commission
from changing the ' route "so as to
leave the town off the highway.
With the announced determination
of the commission to change the route
first agreed upon, taxpayers and citi
zens of Riddle took the matter into
court to prevent abandonment of the
original plan.. They asked for a per
manent injunction restraining the
highway commission from proceeding
and declaring contracts between the
commission and contractor, H. 3. Piii
deb'urn, void.
Judge Skipworth's decision sustains
all of the contentions of the plaintiff
and declares that the highway com
mission has no, right to abandon
routes designated by the legislature,
and that although it has power to
make local changes to eliminate
grades and curves, an entire route
cannot be abandoned when the road
was originally declared a part of the
Pacific highway.

ALIEN LABOR BAN RAPPED
Secretary of War Dislikes Provis

HONOLULU, T. H., May 13. (Spe
cial.) Newton D. Baker, secretary of
war, strongly protests against the
provision in the bill fostered by
Hawaii's delegate to congress which
would prohibit the employment of
alien labor on government construc
tion work.
The protest is based on a letter from
General C. G. Morton, commander of
the Hawaiian department, who points
out that If citizen labor is to be em
ployed, appropriations even for pro
jects now under way and appropria
tions for projects contemplated would
have to' be increased, and furthes-

WASHINGTON, May 13. A sub
committee decided today after brief
discussion to report favorably the
olr.dexter anti-strike bill for rail
roads, referred to earlier in the day.
Senator Poindexter, chairman of the
sub-committee, said minor amend
ments would be attached "which do
not in any way invalidate or impair
th,e efficiency of the measure," and
added that the bill was designed "to
prevent tying up of Interstate trans
portation of railroads."
The bill would go back to the full
committee, the senator said, within a
few days.

Buying vs Building
The price of a building .is determined largely by
the cost of its present-day erection its replace
ment value.
. It is. no great task to estimate the cost of build
ing a second Woolworth building, an Eiffel tower
or a Panama canal.
And while not so concrete, the same principle
holds true in estimating the present-day trade
mark value of a Coco-Cola or an O'Sullivan Rub
ber Heel.
Yet it is difficult to get the same banker who
will buy for millions a trademark that has "ar
rived" to consider the construction of a national
trademark at the cost of a few years and per
haps five or six hundred thousand dollars.
Prizes seem justly reserved for those with con
structive imagination.
Build your own trademark into a great struc
ture of national good will.
