A COMMUNICATION from Mr. W. T. Campbell, on the subject of tho proposed McKenzie water bonds is published in this edition of Tho Guard. Mr. Campbell writes that he is for clean water at any cost, but objects to the issuance of bonds for the lower McKenzie project, mainly as wo understand his argument, 'on tho very same or similar ground taken by The Guard until a few days ago, which wus that as long as we have to use filtered wa ter wo might as well stick to the present source of supply as to go to a new source of supply whose water still would require filtration. That argument would be sound but for one highly Important fact, which is that there is potential danger in depending upon the present source of water supply finv longer than is absolutely necessary. The city wells which were the source when tho present system was in stalled have failed completely. 'City water now comes from the river and the point of intake is below the outfall of the sewer which drains the city of Springfield. By the processing which it undergoes our city water is made pure. Anv sort of failure of vigilance or any acci dent which might let unfiltered water into the mains would result in disaster. Tho Guard has stated these facts heretofore, in announcing its own change of view concerning tho water project. It repeats them hero for the reason that Mr. Campbell's communication appears not to havo taken them into consideration. Mr. Campbell criticizes the project of .unking the point of intako for tho McKenzie project on the north, or far, side of tho river, instead of on the south, or near, ride. A perfectly logical reason for the plan as proposed csists. If the pipeline wero to bo started from tho point of required elevation for tho purpose of gravity flow and on the south side of tho river, it would of necessity lie routed, before getting away from tho river; bed, over or through ground which frequently shifts or is torn up at flood periods. It would not be practicable to give the liipeliiin stability nt all seasons in this ground.. It might lie swept away.' But by locating the point of diversion on the north side of tho stream at tho point of required elevation, tho pipelino can be laid in solid rock across and nwnv from tho river, nnd thus bo secured against daninge ly flood or washout. It is a difference of con figuration. Compotent consulting engineers havo agreed,' after investigation, with the water board engineers upon tho foregoing facts. A further reason for starting the pipelino from the north bank is that when the time comes in fnturo years for extending tho pipeline to Clear lake or some other source high up in tho mountains, whence water will be brought in absolutely pure, the pipeline will need to follow the north bank route on account of tho road which already exists along that shore and whose exiKtence'will obviate the necessity of constructing a now road to-carry thp machinery anil supplies, as would be tho case if the construction were carried along the south shore. Mr. Campbell writes that the water board "has issued no official statement of plans or purposes, and this only a week, before election." Water Superintendent McClain, who is fully conversant with all details of tho water board's plans anil is, in a measure, its official spokesman, has been appearing these past few days before public meetings wherever opportunity offered and explaining the McKenzie project fully and frankly, illustrating his ex planations by means of charts. How could the water board state its plans and purposes more effectively than by this method ! As to the contention that Hendricks bridge rather than Jlayden bridge should have been chosen as the point of intake, surely not Mr. Campbell nor anybody believes the water board .has acted othe'rwise than on its best judgment in this regard. Its judgment is an informed iuUrment, because it is based on the advice of eom- iwitniir .mtv nnrl nmiKllltinir nno-imtar-i nflor full inVAetifro j. T, 11 turn. How can one who has in a genera! way say that nun iiilimti'il would have been The Guard is in complete contention that hugeno slioulil have, for its permanent supply, water that will be pure without filtration. "I am for clean water nt anv cost,"writes Mr. Cnmnbell. That is exactly the position !h whv it believes it is vastly water bonds shall carry. A Mr, J. li. Couloo, whoso name tloes not apioar in the city directory or tho telephone directory, nor on tho Lane county tx roll, writes to the Register to express, among other things, the view that Tha Guard's sources of in for inntton must he faulty in regard to homl matters. Possibly when it is in need of authoritative information ajrnin concerning niuurs, i he Uunru may try to get it from Mr, Con loo, if it can find a gentleman whoso namo does not appear in the city directory or the telephone directory, nor on the Lane countv tax roll.

(Medford Mail-Tribune) The Chicago Tribune opinea that even if they are guilty Messrs. Fall, Sinclair and Dobeny, can, by tbe judi cious use of - money, keep out of jail for ten or 15 years. . "Unfortunately, tbe criminal procedure in tbe United Statea ia designed not to convict the guilty, but to protect the inno cent. Better let ten guilty people escape thao run the risk of even annoying one innocent party. Fundamentally that doctrine may be sound. But tradition and prac tice bave so hedged red tape en tanglementa about the malefactor, a prompt conviction of any guilty person with money ia utterly im possible. We don't need a change In tbe fundamental law, perhaps, but we do need a change in pro cedure. Protecting the innocent has been overdone. We should pay a little more attention to punishing the guilty." There is considerable good sense In this statement. The two outstanding weaknesses in American court pro cedure, are first, tha encouragement given technical evasions and second, the law's delay. In a meeting called for June S in Portland, the recently organised judi cial council will start upon the im portant work of instituting reforms In the legal procedure in this state Southern Oregon will be particularly interested in the progress of this movement, for this district hss been honored by having Circuit Judge C. M. Thomas selected as a member of tbe council. I The initiation of this reform effort is not only of interest to the legal profession, but of supreme importsnee to every resident of southern Oregon end the state. The people believe in luw enforcement. They believe In prompt justice for every individual re gardless of whether that individual is rich or poor. And finally they are convinced that' the present system of court procedure, in need of radical change and readjustment to attain these ends. This judicial council, in attempting to initiate reforms msy be opposed by some members of their own profes sion, but If they succeed in making it a little more difficult for the trans gressor to escape; a little less dif ficult snd less eipenslve for the average citizen to fecure prompt jus tice, thoy will receive the hearty sup port and the lasting gratitude of the people at large. A Foolish Referendum. (Salem Capital Journal) The Portland News is sponsoring sn effort to launch a referendum upon the legislative measure requiring thst ten per cent of the receipts of all stste commissions be diverted to tbe ganersl fund for state expenses. Tbe announced inspiration of the referen dum is tbe loss of funds by tbe st;ite game commission, which will have tu curb its irresponsible expenditures a tenth. This diversion bill is an emergency measure necessttsted to rsite required revenue by indirect tsxstion. If ref erended. it will cause serious rm bsrrassment to stste finances for tbe next two yesrs. The atste must either o upon a warrant basis, or a special session of the legislature be sum moned, to provide new sources (,f revenue. This referendum, like others pro posed on taxation, can only result in embarassing the state and injuring it financially. It rs therefore not tbe Prt of good citisenshlp to advocate . iwi th.genersipubhcpis.es the mtt i welfare above the game or other eommieiiona, which can function ihan'upecied, n much less revenue with nobody the lower ixcept job-holdera, the referendum wiil defeat Itself. We do not believe that hunters snd anglers, who furnish by their license f. the gsme commission's revenue. ,n aympsthy with any auch effort to cripple the state as this referen dum, although the commission and it employes probably are. The general public certa-nly is not, and would care little if the guroe commission, with Its Wrpttual bickerings over division of tbe spells, was wiped out entirely. The referendum wilt in all prob ability, forre a needed reorganization j0' u,e I itmiJd- finances. All commissions placed upon tbe budgrt sys and receipt! go into the general fund. All appropriations should be made by the legislsture and their ex penditure controlled by state officers. The pelfcy of giving spending bds control of taxation and revenues is absurd, and leads to waste. Forest Vires are Spreading in East SKU" YOHK. April 10-X.ir Knc- ! laml.

Though America's school system is in process of readjustment to meet modern needs, snd just now is disor ganized bj it, to some extent, yet," said United States Commissioner of Education John J. Tiger.," "it is the best school system in the world to day. "True, a few countries outdo us in the matter of literary. "With one exception, however, they are small, with homogeneous popula tions, like Denmark. "America is vast, its population Is very mixed, including comparatively newly'arrived illiterates from many lands. That these people are unedu cated is no fault of American schools. "The single exception a country of large population, if of not great area is Germany. Hut Germany's educational system was much like her military system highly centralized. Germans wen driven to school prac tically at the hnynnet'a point. In tin final result, this didu't prove very satisfactory. "American education excels in availability. It cin't he so murb the latter, because it isn't centralized, like Germany's. "Tbf glory of our schools is that they are nut centralized. They have developed powerfully bemuse the communities they were for, wanted them, created them for tbemselveH and saw to it that they did develop. Their growth was natural, not forced. At first there were communities where public education was opposed. If the federal government bad tried to force it on them, before thv were ready, they would have rebelled. Sorb Mr. Campbell Opposed to McKemie Bonds Favors Clean Water but Thinks Present Project Wrong. Kl'GF.NE, Ore.. April 9. (To the Editor) Some time since The Guard published the bonded indebtedness of the City ot Kugene, and which amounted in round numbers to $1, t'riKUHiO snd in addition to this sura our share of the road bonds of the county would amount to about ?700, (000, not to mention one hundred and fifty million dollars state debt, of which we will have to pay our share, land alao The Guard failed to Include the half million of dtt!ars in bonds the gift of the city to the university fur. tbe auditorium, and while this last amount is yet in tbe courts It still bangs over us and may have to be paid. Our indebtedness no is close to $3,000,000 snd if the proposed bonds to be voted on carry at the election April IS we will owe not less than 1 3,500,000, more than two hund red dollars for each man. woman and rhild in the c;tr, and with a tax rite doubled. The above figures are approximate, at it is impomible to be if-Airste with the fundt "juggled" as thy now are fr instance the band money collected I for one purpose, and applied t an 'other use, and the collection of $io,- to pay interest on auditorium bnds and which bonds if ever issued, the interest would not b payable for BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY Tee spirit of the lrd God it upon te; because the lord hath anointed me to preach good tid ings unto the mtti., he hata rnt me to biad up the broken hearted, lo prx:ra literT,r to tie captive, and the 0trn.tig :,f tft pris-o tn tlsrm that are bound.-- Isl. til 1.

"The change in education, iu our own time, was inevitable, ".Many of us who are not yet old can remember the first electric car, the first Incandescent light, tbe first telephone, the first " phonograph, the firm automobile, the first airplane. All of us can remember the first ra dio. 1 "Tho old life was aiinplo. Education ran on one track. It was academic, cultural. Jt was preparatory to col leges of the liberal arta and higher professions. "Today's education has had to adapt itself to the demands of indus try, commerce, agriculture, many sei-, cures to the preparation of the young for our present complex exist ence. "In response- to all these new re quirement b, our schools have added more and more studies until, unavoid ably, they are less thorough than tbey were. Many of tho additions were in dispeustble, to make education prac tical, useful to make it fit tbe times. .Yet, with such a multiplicity of sub jecra crowding one another, a careful scrutiny is necessary, and perhaps a weeding out. "Indeed, this is being done. I doubt if the average individual realizes how highly technical a calling education has become. It was nothing like so much so in the school days of tbe prevent -day adult, and few laymen have time to keep (n touch with the : schoolroom after leaving it them- pelves. ribe educator at work sug gests the farm expert, watching, test ing, experimenting with adjoining pHtchas to determine the relative val ues of different soils, fertilizers, kinds of seed, temperatures, methods of cultivation, in producing, say, a crop of corn. But needlrss to say, studying the human mind takes more time.' a year, and with an even rhanee that I tbe univeraitj fails to win out. I Now jn the face of all thia iodebt : ednesa would it not be the sensible thing to Tote down this $375,000 bond issue and at least wait until the audi torium case is decided, and if It is against the .university we will be in a financial position to lay a water main , up the .McKenzie river and have water that will be a credit to tbe city. ! This McKenaie scheme as now plan ! ned proposes to tnke the water from the north aide of tha river near the j Hayden bridge and make a submarine j crossing half mile up the river, most all through solid rork and at a cost iof perhaps S6O.000 when tber can I take tbe lame water on the south aide of the river at no coat whatever.
