ROAD MOVEMENT
JOHN E, LATH KOI WRITES
OF GOVERNMENT PLAN'S.
Says There Is No Graft In tlic Scheme
Kilt That II Is Founded Purely
I pon a Sound Economic Principle
Government Furnishes Experts,
Machinery, Equipment and Trans
portation Free Six Western Slutes
Will Bo Favored With Government's
Work ThU-Yenr.
That the "good roads" movement
in the United States is rapidly be
coming a natlonnl policy, Is shown
by the following letter from John E.
Lathrop, secretary to United States
Senator John M. Gearln, commend
ing the movement of the people of
Umatilla county and explaining in de
tail how the movement was started
and who Is responsible for it.
Mr. Lathrop being on the ground
In the national capital has an excel
lent opportunity to Judge of the
sources of the activity In this line
and his information Is valuable for
this reason. His letter Is as follows
Washington, D. C, Feb. It. (Ed!
tor East Oregontan.) I have ad
dressed letters to County Judge John
H. Scott, Salem, Ore., and Judge H.
J. Bean, Pendleton, Ore., informing
them that through the efforts of
Samuel Hill, of Seattle, who also has
a residence In Washington. D. C, ar
rangements are now made for the
government to build a sample mile
of roadway In each of two localities
In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, the Dakotas and Minnesota.
The good roads service of the de
partment of agriculture will furnish
the machinery, crushers, rollers, ex
perts and everything necessary to
work, ench county In which the work
Is conducted to furnish the raw ma
terial, the right of way and the com
mon labor.
1 wish to call attention to the fact
that this plan has no feature of graft
In It. fcr the reason that no money Is
asked for by any of those who come
Into the state from outside, but every
thing furnished by the government,
and is without expense to the people
there.
I desire also to call attention to the
fact that through the efforts of Sam
uel Hill, brother of James J. Hill and
J. P. O'Brien have agreed to furnish
free tranrportation nnd that the ex
pense on the part of the government
and the railroads will amount to
many thousand dollars.
Mr. Hill has presented the matter
so strongly to the department of ng
rlculture that the officials are en
thuslnstic for It
I have given personal attention to
It. and insofar as I am competent to
Judge, assure you that the plan Is ex
cellent, nnd In the highest degree
practical.
I am Impressed by my visit to the
east with the Immense importance of
forwarding the good ronds movement
Before one's eyes are object lessons
which tell the value to the farmers
of applying to the public highways
the same principles of transportation
that govern railway men In handling
their big systems. I wish to urge
personally your' hearty co-operation
In this plan, and shall bp glad to learn
from you that you will give It.
Very, fruly yours.
JOHN E. LATHROP.
ettes and from their lips curl the
smoke and the look of pleasure and
satisfaction on their faces suggests
that there Is real enjoyment In cig
arettes. '
Another thing we see in the pic
ture Is champaign glasses lit front of
the young ladies, which might also
be construed to suggest that this is
also advisable If you would enjoy the
best there Is in life.
Then go into the reading matter
above this picture of the young soci
ety men smoking a cigarette In the
presence of the ladles and what do we
find? Here Is what It says:
"There Is scorcely a happier Inter
val than that between a good play
and a good dinner. The memory of
the one and the anticipation and sat
isfaction of the other suggests Murad
Cigarettes to those most used to and
most discriminating In fine Btnoklng.
Mild, rich, delicious and distinctive
the Murad Is the most fitting accom
paniment of the most enjoyable oc
casions 10 for lo cents." Then for
fear the reader of the advertisement
may not be able to get cigarettes It
goes on to say: "By mall, postpaid, if
you can't get Murad cigarettes from
your dealer, send 15 cents for 10, 75
cents for 50, $1.50 for 100" and winds
up by giving the address of the dis
pensers of the "little pills" often re
ferred to as "coffin nails."
Did any one ever see a patent med
icine ad that recommended the pro
duct more strongly than Collie
Weekly recommends the use of cig
arettes?
The Idea and words In the quarter
page advertisement can convey but
one impression and that Is that to
make an evening complete men
should smoke cigarettes as they are
"the most fitting accompaniment of
the most enjoyable occasions."
If Collier's Weekly Is sincere In Its
campaign against patent medicines
because they are harmful, why doe
go Into the homes and advises
fathers, mothers, sisters, daughters
and children to smoke cigarettes as
the most fitting accompaniment of
the most enjoyable occasion," as it
s an undlsputable fact that cigarettes
are Injurious. '
The cries of a publication against
their brother publishers should carry
little weight when they advise smok-
ng cigarettes.
We regret we have not the facili
ties for reproducing Collier's Week
ly recommendation of the smoking
of cigarettes and let the public see
this recommendation of a curse that
has puzzled the mothers and fathers
of this country to devise a law to
stamp out or at least protect the
coming generations as well ns the
present against.

Advises Use of Cigarette as the Most
Fitting Accompaniment of the Most
Enjoyable Occasion.
Pendleton, Feb. 19. (Editor East
Oregonlan.) Collier's Weekly ap
pears to be setting Itself up as I
Journul to reform the patent medicine
business on the grounds that It is
harmful and a gross Injustice on the
American public and charges news
papers with being In league with the
patent medicine houses, but when we
look through Its advertising columns
we find that paper recommending the
use of cigarettes and dwelling upon
the merits of one particular brand
which it advlseB the public to use.
The deadly little cigarette Is one
the curse the country and mothers
and fathers throughout this land
advise against their use, and plead
with their sons to abstain from this
vice, ' "
The writer overheard a mother say
"I would rather see my son In his
grave than a cigarette fiond."
Many of the large corporations and
business house will not engage a cig
arette smoker because of the effect
the paper rolls have on the mental
and physical faculties of the users.
Many employers of labor when ad
vertlslng for help Insert the clause,
"No cigarette smokers need apply.
Tet we find Collier's Weekly ac
ceptlng money for recommending the
use of cigarettes and In ft quarter

Residents of Pendleton Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved.
In sratltude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad back!
from distressing kidney ills thous
ands have publicly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of
Pendleton, who so testified years ago,
now say their cures were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves the
worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Pen
dleton kidney sufferers.
Henry Williams, of College street,
Pendleton, Ore., says: "It Is over
two years ago since I made a state
ment for publication In our local pa
pers, In which I highly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Ttrock & JlcComas Co.'s drug storo.
This laose of time has only confirmed
and strengthened my good opinion of
this remedy. Before using It I had
been troubled for nearly four years
with dull heavy aching pains across
my loins and kidneys, Colds always
aggravated the complaint and caused
an Irregularity of the kidney secre
tions. I lost a good deal of rest
nights through having to rise at in
tervals, and the annoyance and worry
sapped nearly all the energy out of
me. Doan's Kidney Pills changed all
this, and, as I said before, they are
worth their weight In gold to anyone
suffering from disordered kidneys or
backache." .,
