Dr. 'Andrew C Smith was inclined to beilev-'. that none of the bills in the form passed should be approved by the Good, Roads association. The fact that the commissioner to be appointed at a salary of 14000 a year is to be given ad visory supervision of roads .constructed In the state and not absolute control of construction, as was first planned, was, .to Dr. Smith's mind, a nullifying clause.1' 1 - - r- ' " "'I consider the state highway oom- tkiimi kill In ttia form DasseoT the greatest piece of leglslstlon adopted by the legislature In many years.' declared Tniin Wahatit. answerlne Dr. Smith.

UQUOR TRAFFIC Eastern Oregon, However, De feats Bill Affecting Incor poration of Towns." Th recent session of th legislature placed Itself en record as favoring th curbing; of th liquor traffic Two laws, placing restrictions-upon IV."' wer passed. A third, even more severe, went through the house easily, but eastern Oregomnen in the senate contrived to kill It because of th effeot It would have upon their section of the stat, The most Important of th new laws which relate to th liquor question, Is contained In a bill presented by Senator Dlmlck.of Oregon City. It prohibits the consumption of liquor In any raiU road depot, bans the nse of liquor on trains, except in th dining cars, ai;d makes any Intoxicated person entering a train subject to a penalty. This bill, unless -vetoed, wilt probably have a far reaching effect and perhaps mors so than th author had tn mind. In Portland, for lnstanc. It compels the saloon now located In th Oregon Eleo trlo railway depot at the foot of Jef ferson street to go out of business. There are said to b similar situations in other parts of th stat which would be affected. v The second bill passed by both house was one Introduced Jy JRepresentatlT QUI of Wasco county, , It reads in part as follows: : , "No person shall b permitted to sell spirituous, vinous or malt liquors or fermented older, commonly known as hard cider, or. pear bear, in this stat, without having first obtained a license from th county court of the proper county for . that purpose . and In no place where any college or .university la now or shall hereafter be located, for a distance or one mil or more from thereto, where such sales ar now being made under such licenses. No llcens shall be granted for such sales within a distance of on mile from such college or university." ' :.' The provisions of this act, however, do not apply to any ulty or town now Incorporated.

Christ marveled at th unbelief, which he found In Jerusalem. If he should return to earth now he would marvel more at th sight Of th great numbers or young1 people who negleot church and religion for theatres and frivolity," said Dr. John Balcora Shaw at th First Presbyterian church last night Dr.6hawa eubject was th, "Excla. matlons of Jesus.". H. recalled the ex clamation, of sorrow made by Christ when,: Je Jooked :ver Jerusalem; the city of first Christian opportunity" and last in Christian belief. 1 ; ' "It was such -an exclamation as' a great-hearted man might hav made," said Dr. Shaw. "If we remember" the exclamations of Jesus we will find that many wer In sorrow, but more were of y gladness. Christ believed In - God. He believed In humanity; he believed In men. Looking down-lc to the-depths of human nature as he only could, seeing the . unbelief, and wickedness, he sill! believes In humanity and still yearns thatfmen shall turn onto him."
