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,

Those sportive gents who put np

that will cost lers than automobiles.

"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.
The only trouble with college Ufa
is that the men out on the athletic
field ought to te in thprr rooms
studying, and the men in their rooms
studying ought to be out on the ath
fatic field.

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.
