WITH (lie, coining of spring, street paving operations are getting well under way in Eugene again. There is high civic spirit herb and people in most all districts want their streets paved. Thirty-three blocks of paring arc under contract, ltesidents in 56 other blocks have made petition to have their streets paved. But these must wait. The reason is that there is no money avail able wherewith to pave the intersections between their blocks. Among the items on the bond ballot to be voted at the special city election on April 15 is ono of $50,000 for mo paving ot street intersections. It seems a very necessary item. Unless it is carried, the people in the 1 130 blocks who have petitioned for paving, as well as those in other blocks 'who are preparing to petition to have their streets paved, cannot bo accommodated, ac cording to the city engineer. It would do little good to have pavements laid in front of people's homes if the street intersections between the blocks were left unpaved, and the city officials arc on record as opposing such incompleteness. In fairness to the people want it and are willing to lor the pavuig of street intersections ought to be carried It ought to bo carried also progress. Stone Mountain THE press of the country is giving much notice to the controversy which, has arisen between the Stone mountain memorial association and Gutzon Borglum, sculptor of the great group of confederate war leaders ; whose carving on the side of the mountain from which tho association takes its name, has bceir halted because , of the bitter differences. i Mr. Borglum has been accused of tempernmenlalism in exaggerated form and of greed besides and has been discharged. He has retaliated with charges of base in gratitude ou tho part of the comVnittoc and .has wrecked his working models.' The details of tho row are too intricate for outside comprehension, but the fact stands forth that its important result has been temporary stalemate to a fine and great project. The sculptures, if completed, will'bo unique. No such attempt at gigantic artistry has been essayed, since tho days of ancient Egypt -as this effort to perpetuate Lee and his generals in heroic relief on a mountainside. The Stone mountain committee says that Borglum's price was $250,000 "for the work when completed, and that of thisum ho already has received 40 per cent. Borglum djres ho has received only $30,000 for nine rears' worKT To reconcile such differences of state ment seems hopeless for outsiders. "What is, being at- j. d 1,.. 41. 1 -..1. - il." !. . 1M kuiijitu ur uiusc in cuimi-i v-r the work of less importance than that some ar-j raiigement be made to insure its completion,' is to bring; the association and Borglum together on a basis nf j km iing uygouus uc uygones, discussing this cfiort the Christian Science Monitor says Happily thlfl Is an ago of awakened recourse to the Solomon teat of arbitration, and run id the surging vaven of publicity that are sweeping tho Stone mountain controversy with their crests cornea a plea for an intelligent arrangement of differ ences, from a Wly of women in a northern state, composing the Robert K. I-.ee Chapter of the Oranges, New Jersey, United Daughters of tho Confederacy, and supporters and contributors to the memoriat. It has telegraphed Holtins Randolph, of Atlanta, Ceorgia, president' of tho Stone mountain associations to the effect that it hns "voted to request your association to reconcile ; your differences with Gutzon Borglum so that the Stone moun tain memorial can be completed by its original designer." Here is the only answer to the problem. Mr. Borglum's ; talents are peculiarly fitted to the special nature of this sculp tural undertaking; It Is he who should procoed with a task to Vhlch he has already given bo much of his time and thought. The question of money and special prerogatives should be pub licly laid aside by both parties and they should lay the whole matter before a properly Appointed board of arbitration. The youngest of the art family, the motion picture, has set such n superb example In this direction that the way should be easier than in another generation. This is not an go of meandoring mountains, and so Muhammad's famous example BhoulU not bo heeded by these controversialists. They should both repair to Stoiio mountain as soon as ver thoy can. and get down to work aguln. First photographs of tho wreckage of tho tornado in the niidtllo west were takon at Murphoyshoro, ill., Thursday, tho day "following tho disaster.

The esteemed Associated Press brings all the way from Chicago an item about a man whose wooden leg nerved as a prop to keep an overturned flivver from descending with full weight, upon him, Tho moral seems to be that every nutoinohilint nhould etpiip himself with a wooden leg.

(New York World) "The text of Mr. Dawes' lecture -the day he took office was that the sen ate has so entangled itself in tradi tions and rules that it could not traui act business during tbo last days of any sct-siou in the face of the oppo sition of a single senator. Mr. iMwcs made rule XXII famous by picking it out for special condemnation. He drew a picture of "a majority of even one seuatur," after two-thirds of the sen ate had agreed to bring a measure to a vote, exercising the "power to de feat t'aa measure and render im potent the senate itself.' He had in mind filibustering methods as tbey bad been used iu the past. It was understood that the senate, called in special session March 4, would finrsti its work iu a few dnys at most. There was no intention ot lin gering long over the consideration of treaties or other matters in dispute. The senate was in a hurry to get away from Washington. But; quite acci dentally, it fouad opportunity to Show Mr. Dawes bow promptly it could dispatch business when it had a miud to. This proof came cu Friday when the Isle of Tines treaty was called. The treaty had. been hanging fire for more than -0 years. Senator Boruh, chairman of the committee on for eign relations, was opposed to it and wauted it put over until ncpt Decem ber. Senator Willis and other sena tors were Against it. Seuator Cope land ppoke against it for hours and was determined to prevent a vote. Til en, under the rules, at the instance of 10 members, the senate voted to meet the next day at noon and to vote on ratification at 3 o'clock. According to agreement, a vote was taken fcri- day afternoon, and the Isle of Vines treaty was ratified, 63 to 14. I When it is ready, the senate can do business with surprising expedition in ppite of obstinate minorities. Where it has the wilt, Mr. Dawes to the con trary, rule XXII is no great obstacle. It may b made to help iu "hastening decision on important measures by limiting debate. The decisive factnr iu such cases is aoc the one-man filibuster hut the ex istence of a genuinely interested ma- s.. ,h mhir ; f In I iohfpt' Vp'iti 111 o"111 point Proved.

I LONGWORTH FOR SENATE, REPORT Political Prophets Predict Brilliant Future For Present Speaker Of House Ky HARRY B. HUNT (N'KA Service Writer) A SH I NGTOX, March 24. A 1 though Nick Dong worth will nut officially be elected or seated as speaker until the new bouse as sembles next December, political, ora cles already have doped out for him the next step iu his career. From speaker, uccoruiug to the "hope," he is to wove up to a scuator sTiip. There he would be counted upon to remain as a fixture, since even Nick's closest friends scarcely cast him in the role of a presidential pos sibility, While Dongworth has proved him self politically invincible in his home baliwick of Cincinnati, having been defeated there but once in 20 years and that in the Wilson year of 11)11! he never has faced a test of strength in a state campaign. Elements of popularity which have made him strong in his home district niiglit hinder rntber than help in an election in which the voters of the Whole stnte had a voice. ' A period in the "speakership, it Is believed, may give Loagworth new prestige amouj his "folks back home" and win for him recognition as a dis tinguished Ohioan rather th:in merely as a favored son of Cincinnati. While Longworth has been known and liked in the bouse for his own ability and personality ne is still knowu by the rank and file of his fellow Buckeyes, outside of Cincinaati because of his "in-laws." He is still identified, over the state at large, either as "President ltoose- In New York VEW YO-Vk, March 24.

Several weeks ago a gang of yeggs filled the safe in the theater with nitroglycerine and neatly scaled it with soap. Then they were frighten ed away.

Word lias reached Washington that "Alfalfa Kill" Murray's freak farm colony, down in the wilds of Bolivia, is on the rocks. "Alfalfa Bill" was one of the striking characters in congress a dozen years ago. Ho was a member at large from Oklahoma and his tousled shock of wiry hair, his sweeping "buck-horn" moustache and his ever- much to rive verietv and color to the! coneresslonal lnudscnpe. Following his defeat for a flfird terra, Murray negotiated a concession of 20.000 acres from the Bolivian gov ernment and led a band of pioneers, for whom Oklahoma had grown too civilized, into the South American wilds. .' ; - .-. 4- But lack of rainfall, lack'.oT roads, lack of markets and too much jungle has wrecked Bill's dream of a tropical Utopia. . w . . , v 14 ion street's windows of beautiful rai ment remains with them.

Another instance of in herited talent comes in the announce ment that Kathryn Burnside at IS has become a full-fledged stage di rector. Her father is R. H.

He hag directed the last six plays of Fred Stone and it is not at all unlikely that some day Miss Burnside will direct a show for Dor othy Stone who followed her father on the stage.

Then, when the appropriation later came up, congressmen had heard of Guantanamo, aud it went through. Failure to do tho same thing with Guam accounts for its dcnfcnscless condition. That was 20 years ago, so "now it can be told." It is a good story. But "what of the service whose members had this estimate of the in telligence of congress? And what of the people who share that estimate? It is not enough to demonstrate that it is untrue and unjust. If the people continue to think that, even mistakably, it is the begin ning of the wreck of democracy.
