JiO LEAGUE, NO PEACE! Shifting from a frontal to a flank attack, many opponents of a league of nations in a loud chorus began to charge that discussions of the cove nant now before the Paris Confer ence were delaying and threatening the conclusion of peace. Thte league may be a successful preventive of war, say these critics, but It should not be permitted to defer the sign ing of a treaty b)Mween the Allies and the Central Powers. Two good and sufficient answers are returned to these assertions. The first In Importance is that made by President Wilson himself. He Is one of the principals in the Paris Confer ence. He Is a participant In all the discussions concerning the league and every other subject which Is to be covered by the final treaty. He poetesses at first hand complete and accurate Information as to every plan and proposal. He Is there as the delegate of tho American people, and may be credited with a sense of the solemn moral and Constitutional obligation which binds him to repre sent their interests to the best of hU ability. President Wilson has pointed out. In a formal statement, that the cove nant of the proposed league has been before the world for a full month, and Is now in the hands of a commit tee for the final process of drafting. Consideration of the covenant, the President assures the American peo ple, has always ben at times when It could not conflict with the Com mission's labors In connection with other problems of peace. " Members of the Commission congratulate themselves on the fact that no part of their conferences has ever Interposed any form of dflay," nays President Wilson. af.ond answer to the contention that deliberations on the covenant have postponed the completion of a treaty with Germany, In a copyrighted edi torial In the Philadelphia Public Ledger Mr. Taft says: "The league of nations was made the first subject of consideration by the conference because It could be more promptly and easily disposed of than other issues rearing .their ugly beads among the Allies." Mr. Taft then shows that the que tlons of boundaries, annexations, In. demnities and economic adjustments represent thy? chief difficulties of the Conference. Xo treaty is likely un less these difficulties are removed and no permanent peace is possible even after their elimination, Mr. Taft says, unless beforehand all the Allies and the principal nations of the world are firmly united and unl fled In a league. "The signing of a treaty which formally restores peace with Ger many and Austria-Hungary will not give us peace unless there is a guar anty in the power of the nnided .Al lies to compel peace. That power will be dissolved unless i league of nations shall be establish ed, not only to suppress ImmrdlaU disorder, but also to settle differ ences, of which a great number will at once arise between the new gov rrnment established and the old ones cut down, and to enforce the settlements peacably arrived at" As a deduction from his review of the situation with which the Paris Conference is dealing, Mr. Taft says "The truth is, a league of nations Is necessary ' to a satisfactory treaty. It helps and speeds It." ASIILAXD MEAT PACKING PLANT The writer had the pleasure cf being shown thru the meat packing department of the East Side Meat MarRei me otner a ay. we were much surprised to find that Asnland possessed such a complete meat cur ing plant We feel sure that citizens generally do not know that Ashland possesses such an enterprise. Mr. Barrett ha gone to great expense and pains to produce as fine product as can be secured from the larger packers and to properly curie fine home grown beef, pork and mutton products. This enterprise should be encouraged. .Mr. Barrett is ransack ing the valley every day. In pursuit of the finest le?f animals that can be procured, thus creating a good home market for stock raisers. It would be interesting to citizens to give Mr. Barrett the opportunity of showing them thru his plant located In the rear of his meat shop on East Main street. TOURIST TRAVEL WILL BE HEAVY THIS YEAR Railways of the United States and Canada are beginning the expendi ture of hundreds of thousands of dol lars to stimulate tourist travel this summer and a good portion of it will be spent in advertising tin Pacific Northwest, according to Herbert CutWbext secretary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist association, who has returned to Seattle, after a month spent In Eastern cities of the United States and Canada. He conferred with the heads of passenger departments of the United States railway administration in Chi cago, Washington and New York and with Canadian railway officials In Montreal and Winnipeg arranging for co-operation between the railway publicity campaign and the campaign of the Pacific Northwest Tourist as sociation. "The United States railway admin istration has shown its approval of the methods of the Pacific Northwest Tourist association by following our lead in advertising the Pacific North west as a whole rather than adver tising states and localities. Their ad vertising, which involves the expen diture of hundreds of thousands, be gins in the magazln:s in April, and widespread newspaper advertising will follow later. The Canadian rail ways will also spend much money advertising the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and their tourist rates, After saving 25 cents by not put ting In a Wanted to Buy ad. many neoole will nay a00 more for a house than would hate heen neces sary had they advertised for offers.

East Side Market James Barrett Prop. Phone 188 I am told, axe the same to Wash ington and Oregon points as to Van courer," says Mr. Outhbert. "Tourist travel to the Pacific Northwest will be especially heavy this summer, and hotels and resorts should be prepared to take props' care of them. The- people generally should he prepared for tha heavy business which tourist travel brings and to Impress on tourists the natur al advantages, resources and oppor tunities In this section, so that the tourists may become investors and residents to help develop the Pacific Northwest NEW PROFESSION FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS A new profession, that of "farm mechanic," will be an outcome of the-world war, in the belief of the federal ' board for vocational educa tion, which now Is preparing to train disabled soldiers, former farm boys, for such work. With the scarcity of labor on the farms the board believes thee will be more extensive use in the future of farm machinery, and the soldiers will be traJnJed to handle and repair tractors and other farm machinery. Every farm of 100 acres or more will need such a mechanic, in the opinion of the board, which announc ed that indications now were that the demand would far exceed the supply.

ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY HAS WIDE APPROVAL Offers of assistance to advocate the Roosevelt highway are coming in every mail to the headquarters in the Imperial hotel. This is the pro posed road along the Pacific coast, from the Columbia river to the Cali fornia line, where it will connect with a projected military coast road to the Merlcan border. To the north, In Washington, part of this coast road is already built and paved and appropriation has been made to grade It to the Columbia river. TV Oregonlan says that Oregon's task is to build the road thru this state, with the assistance of the fed eral government. The people will be asked to approv June 3, at the spe cial state election, a lond issue for $2,500,000 to be matched by the federal government for the con struction of the Roosevelt highway, as the Oregon link of the road will be known. While the highway will extend thru the coast counties, the rest of the state will be benefited. For this reason, a strong sentiment for the bonds U developing in eastern Ore gon. Visitors from Baker, Malheur, Deschutes, Wasco, Sherman and oth er counties east of the Cascades, who have been in Portland in the past week, have said that the Roosevelt j highway is favored in their sections. L. E. Bean of Eugene, W. II. Gore of Medford. E. I. Ballagh of St. Helens, C. Schuebel of Oregon City, S. A. Hughes of Salem, W. B. Den nls of Carlton, L. M, Graham of For est Grove, Eugene E. Smith and Os car W. Horoe of Portland are among the men of the 1919 session of the legislature who have written to head quarters offering their services to take the stump and speak for the Roosevelt highway. Mr. Ballagh has arranged for three meetings in Col umbia county and already has asked for speakers. Fred Hollister has ordered and paid for 1000 buttons to boost the highway. These buttons sell at 50 cents each and ask the public whether it has been pledged for the Roosevielt highway. The talking points for the Roose velt highway that ar being used by advocates of the scheme are that it will develop a section of the state which can never be opened and made profitable until such a road is built: that this land will be placed on the tax roll and at such an Increased valuation that In a few ears tbie in creased taxes made possible by open ing and developing this territory will more than pay for the bonds; that the bonds will be cared for from the automobile license fees; that it will give an all-year road to California: that it will enable tourists to come by way of the Willamette va!I?y and go back over the Roosevelt highway; that it will give a new scenic road; that it will be of Immense Import ance as a military highway In case of invasion by a hostile fleet. It is not expected that the high way bonds will be voted without op position. So far, however, there Is no formal campaign against the pro ject Ben F. Jones, secretary' of the Roosevelt highway association, and father of the resolution putting the plan up to the people, states that be has had fairly good assurance from Washington that the government will co-operate on the proposition.
