Delenda Est Cartago . No starry-eyed 'liberar. was Cato the Eld er, whose contributions to the modern age was the currently-accepted definition of "censor." Originally the Roman censor was just the chief census, taker, tax-assessor and custodian of the sewers. But because the censor's duties brought him into close contact with the people though naturally not into a close human re- lationship, considering the power he held and because Cato was old zealot devoted to the stern old Roman virtues, he transformed his office into one regulating public and private morals strictly according to his own harsh, con servative views, and went down in history as Cato the Censor. Growing crankier in his later years, Cato made a' trip to Carthage and, disturbed by that city's greatness though it was then under Rome's ungentle thumb, became convinced that for Rome's safety, Carthage must be destroyed. Thereafter" each time Cato rose in the senate to JL speak, no matter what the topic, he ended his remarks with the exclamation ' "Delenda est Cartagol" Cato didn't quite live to see it but his was the inspiration for what occurred. Victorious in the third Punic war, the Romans in 148 BC laid siege to Carthage. The Carthaginians did not surrender; they were massacred or sold into slavery. And then the Romans methodically and ceremoniously razed every last stick j of Carthage,- and plowed up the site! . i When: the. Romans spoke of "Africa' they didn't mean'vhat we have come o know as the "dark continent." They meant Tunisia. And Tunisia, once the center of the Phoenician and later of the Carthaginian empire, is a coun try about half the area of Oregon with about twice ffxe population, and in its more thickly inhabited portion is from the standpoint j of physical geography perhaps the 'least typical region of the Continent which took its old name, j The northerly coastal portion, west of Tunis and Bizerte, of this most northerly region in Africa is ; distinctly Mediterranean, much like southern Italy or Greece. The east coast, be yond Cape Bon where the Mediterranean bends southward, likewise is fertile and well-cultivated as far south as Sfax, where the visitor will see millions of olive trees it's the center of a great olive oil industry. It is into this fertile and ordinarily delight ful land that American "second front" troops i have been moving in recent days. Apart from t the grimness of their mission, it will have been an interesting and. pleasant journey. Indeed, in advancing through nearby Algeria they will have enjoyed, except when too hard-pressed by strafing enemy aircraft, a "tour" along one ' of the best-engineered and most beautiful high ways In the Old "World, the JijeUI-Corniche. Some perhaps were privileged to wander brief ly in La Grotto Merveilleuse, a natural museum of stalactites and .stalagmites amazing forms and shapes, brought to light by a blast of dyna mite set off 'fifty four years ago ( when the . French .were building this ingenious highway. I Yes, aside from the fighting our boys in North Africa are having a most interesting and educa tional trip,' nothing 'like what you might sup pose, from the mere fact they are on that continent. "5 j ' ' 1 - If our troops capture Tunis and set out from there toward Italy they may encounter, a few miles to the northeast along the Gulf of Tunis, the ru(ins of Carthage. Not the old Carthage which at the behest of Cato the Censor was raied nd .plowed under, but the Carthage re built by the more constructive-minded Augus tus more., than a century later. Subsequently it served as capital of Genseric's Vandal kingdom of Africa, and still later it was destroyed by the : Arabs; their job was notably thorough but they did leave a few remnants. From. Carthage, which was the . Romans - chief rival for empire and whose destruction was the high point in their , empire's creation, - soon may come the blow which will destroy, - politically at any rate, not ! only the modern . Rome but the new empire which has been ris ing in Europe,- built upon ideas of which Cato the Censor doubtless would approve., Jfia Ro mans plowed it under but. their job wasn't thorough enough, at that. . v ; ' Cottage Grove Highway Cas? The state highway department some years ago built what was designed to be a new fast' hichwav. or at anv rate one which would facili tate traffic, through Cottage Grove. The route parallels the railway' and cuts ; diagonally across the ends of several city streets. The highway department sought to shut off access ; from these streets to thetvew highway, in order to realize its objective: The city brought action to prevent this and won a favorable circuit court ruling which lias-' recently been sustained by the state supreme court, though on a divid- ' ed opinion. .-. v - . What the court has' ruled must be presumed to be the law. On the other hand . the Eugene -. Register-Guard in- discussing the i; case - has pointed out, and The Statesman agrees and has agreed for some years past, that Oregon has been regrettably dilatory.: in accepting new types of legislation designed to protect Its high ways from encroachment of a type which fre quently defeats the purpose for which they were constructed. j There was a "freeway" bill before the legis lature in 1941, proposing ta" empower, ; the de- ; - partment to designate appropriate stretches of highway as "freeways" to be entered only at . certain intersections widely spaced, One pur pose was to expedite traffic, another was to dis courage the establishment of roadside commer cial stands. Though existing commercial enter- . prises would have been protected, there was strong opposition to the bill and it was not 1 .enacted. : : ' -; :''':JC'. -r.---' ' Though discrteion' in the selection of high ways for "freeway" designation is necessary, ether states have found this sort of legislation fit able in terms of faster and safer traffic n -i fMiffftoef that Oregon rna ixieir KJi-yci n;ii-w .. icuM ive the plan a trial. "No Favor Sways U$; No tear Shall Awe From Tlrai Statesman. March 28, 1851 the News By PAUL MALLON I.. I Panl Halloa Vichyated s - The commentators can't all be right all the) time. Just the other day they ! were praising Petain, though with' restraint in view of his recent record, for having apparently broken with Hitler and freed the French in Africa to fight against the axis.' Now they are damning him again and recalling his reputed "defeat ism" in the first World war. It's our guess that Petain did break with Hitler and that now ha is more definitely a prisoner than before, and the voice that speaks for him is another's, i Then again, just the other day the com mentators were hailing, the eclipse of Vichy; now they are aghast because Vichy has gone all-out for the axis. In a way of course, they may have been right both times. As a govern ment Vichy is through it never was much of a government anyway. ; Now Vichy is Laval, and Laval has been all-out for the axis from the beginning. Though Laval now is the "lead er", it remains to be seen whether he has any followers. ' V News Behind (Distribution by King Feature Syndicate, Inc. Repro duct ion In whole or In part strictly prohibited-) WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 From the galleries, the senate filibuster may have appeared to some to be a great struggle over the voting rights of the negro minority, but on the floor, where the partici pating senators stood, it fell far short of that Many senators recognized the maneuvering as politics, and little else. No more than 60-odd senators were pres ent the first six days, which I means about 36 were not suffi ! ciently interested to attend the spectacle. Even those who gave lip-service to democratic floor leader Bark- ley's cause against the poll tax restrictions of eight southern states, knew in their hearts that probably not a single negro in ! those states would ever vote as a result of this bill, if it passed. They just supported Barkley without enthusiasm, mainly be cause certain negro . organizations in the north wanted the legislation, and, therefore, it was a wise thing for than politically to follow along. In the first place, everyone knows the southern states have other laws (the Texas primary law) and other restrictions (educational qualifications) which can be used to keep negroes away from the democratic primaries more effectively than the $1 : or $1.50 poll tax. But even beyond those laws and restrictions (which this bill did not propose to touch) the bill Itself was a federal directive against a state tax levied by state legislatures, and therefore of un determined, if not doubtful constitutional validity. Senators could see, for this reason, that passage of the bill would just make another court case. Any state could rebel and sue. Thus the whole show was considerably less vital to negro voting than the tumult and shouting may have led the casual news reader to believe. This does not mean the southern democratic fili busters were not bitter and angry. Typically, Sen ator McKeller called Barkley a "skunk" and meant it. Others professed to see the democratic party riding two horses going in opposite directions, with the obvious results of such a disaster unavoidable ir the future. The southerners talked of getting a new party and a new senate leader (one actually wanted to elect the republican leader McNary, on the ground that he represented true democratic principles more adequately than Barkley). The southerners preferred to believe the rumor that the only reason they were faced with this bill was because Mr. Roosevelt had promised CIO's Phil Murray to bring it forward, and thus aid the CIO drive to organize negro workers. They rejected the similarly unconfirmed rumor that Mr. Roosevelt was dismayed at the spectacle and was getting his best political mechanic, the economic stabilizer Jimmy Byrnes, to stabilize the riot in the senate. But there will be no new party and no .new leader. No one really believed Barkley was doing anything but acting on orders. Furthermore, there . were no important bills, not even a war bill, ready for senate consideration, except one about silver coins. The time had been well chosen for staging, a contest which will certainly do no personal political harm to northern democrats in their large negro voting home communities, nor, in fact, to the southern democrats in their white-voting home districts. -f . Party unity and working harmony, however, will no doubt suffer. Scars left by this fight will be added to welts raised on the same subject "By other administration acts, and no doubt will be re opened from time to time hereafter, until the demo cratic presidential nomination is made in 1944. ; As for the real issue of negro voting in the south, no solution appears imminent through any legislation. One of the eight states, Tennessee, is about to repeal its poll tax restriction. Around the senate, they say whether true or not that this Is because the Crump machine in Memphis is getting tired of paying the $1 or $1.50 for, all the negroes it votes each election day, and that it is espousing repeal as an economy measure to cut campaign expendi tures. " J;' ; i- ! T , In all the debate, it has become clear that south ern states are willing to repeal, but do not want , tLi federal government assuming their power to do -i A direct way in which Barkley and the admin istration could have avoided this anti-states rights legislation, and .the fight and filibuster, as well, "would have been to pass a resolution "requesting" the state legislatures to repeal the poll tax. ' : ' " . . Such an expression of the sentiment of congress would certainly have promoted repeal faster than -the pending assumption of federal power. Strange- ' ly, that peaceful method never occurred to anyone. The whole spectacle adds further, weight to the suggestion that both white and negro leadership of negro problems be taken out of the hands of politi cians and assumed by educators, social and eco- -nomic leaders, who can get something constructive --ccomplished perhaps even the dollar and 1he euucauon lor eacn negro to permit zum to vote.

HENDRICKS Many changes have 11-22-42 come to - the Oregon Country, territory, state and views, habits, customs: S Continuing from yesterday:) In yesterday's issue, this col umnist said le would have something to say about how the Oregon state higher off icials ar ranged to increase heir starva tion salaries they in the earliest days had to put up with. The salary of the state treas urer of Oregon in the first days . of the state was; $800 a year, and that of the governor and secre- . tary of state was $1500 a year, which meant $125 a month each for the two last named of the three supposedly highest offices in the commonwealth. V But after wej began to have state institutions like the state asylus for the insane, the state reform school, etc., eta, it be came the habit to put these in stitutions undei 1 boards which were made up of these three of ficials, or partly of the superin tendent of public instruction, and allowing them a iditional pay: for the extra work connected therewith.-; Alter this met lod of governing the additional institutions . was connenced, it ws s not long until these : offices vith . starvation pay became'' lucrative positions, worth putting forth strong ef-: forts to obtain r comparatively lucrative positions. i . ' ' If the system is justly amen able to criticism,1 one of its faults is the fact that perhaps the state officials have toomuch work to which their attention is entitled to be given, to do Justice to all that it ought t4 have, for the general good. Anyway, Oregon as a state is greet and rich enough to pro vide well, qualified public serv ants, paid decent salaries. And it is not wise, in the long run, to pay starvation salaries. i' And it Is not good to tempt men in public, places to cheapen themselves by accepting salaries below the average paid in similar cases the country, over. '. An. ideal way ; to organize the work of the institutions, in a state having a system like Ore gon's is. to give the chief voice on the board in the case of each , institution to the one member more nearly a specialist In that particular field than the other two, bringing in all three (or four) - members' only on special " ' VV f " . : In this aeries has been given some of the first locations of the publication offices of The States man. The first one, at Oregon City, was near where the post office Is now, close to the west end of the - bridge across the Willamette river there. By CLARENCE BUDINGTON Chapter Seven Centinned Darnleys eyes grew blgi For the first time In her life she was sitting In th same room with men and women whose 'names she had read In magazines or newspapers, with individuals whose pictures had made their faces familiar.

"The name's Gorse," murmur ed De Groot as if to himself. "Lacey Gorse.

"You notice that I'm performing no in troductions." . ,r "If she's wih.you," said Gorse softly, his eyes narrowing; "in troductions are probably unne cessary." Darnley was suddenly bitterly embarrassed and furiously an gry. But she neither moved nor ' spoke. '-f""W.' -::-;.'V. "Whence," asked De Groot placidly, "the discoloration on your chin?"
