pretend to believo in tho republican form of government,
but iH openly and frankly for monarchal government.
Ami knowing all this, Germany elected Hindenburg
president. It was tho Germans' right to select the
jnan of their own choice to head their government. The
rest of the world has no right to object to that choice.
But in tho rest of the world tbe result arouses suspicion
and distrust and, on the part of somo peoples, dismay.
A look beyond the result of the election to an analy
'hh of that result discloses that Hindenburg is not the
majority choice of Germany. For him there were cast
14,(i:W,;i!;) voles. Tho combined vote of his two oppon
ents and the rejected ballots givo a total of 15,70(1,101.
'Hindenburg's plurality over Marx, his nearest opponent,
wis more than a million. Hindenburg's gain in the
final election over tho vote cast in tho preliminary elec
tion of March .'10 by tho parties which havo supported
him was moro than two and a half millions. A portion
of this gain is to bo accounted for in a breaking away
T ... I .III
from the centrist, or uatnoiic, party, which unci
previously supported Marx, by many who resented
the nnti-C'atholio tendencies manifested by the socialists.
Others, not monarchists but admirers nevertheless of
Hindenburg, voted for lnm. Paradoxical as it may seem,
bo was backed by tho peasants' organization. Several
other parties ef minor importnnco threw in their for
tunes with tho nationalists.
Thus analysis of tho election returns does not neces
sarily diseloso any overwhelming disposition among
Germans for a return to monarchy. But from whatever
standpoint it bo regarded, tho Hindenburg victory is suf
ficiently impressive. And quite generally, even if erron
eously, throughout the world it will bo considered a plain
sign 'that Germany is pointed toward a restoration to
monarchy.

MR. SARGENT TALKS ABOUT HIS JOB
Attorney General Seeks Not to Criticize Laws But Only to
Enforce Them
By CHAHLES P. STKWART
(NKA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, April 28. Do
their laws over-regulnte (he
American people?
"That's not for me to 6ny," re
plied ITnited States Attorney General
John (. Sargent. "My business, as
attorney general. Is to enforce the
law. Slaking laws la a legislative
function. I'm a strong believer in
each man sticking to his own job.
"If 1 were a legislator, I'd have
something to soy about law-making.
In the department of justice my duty
la lo administer the laws as I find
them. If I think a chnnge should be
made, 1 may recommend it. I've no
right or desire to criticize otherwise.
".Most of our troubles seem to me
due to intolerance n failure to un
dent turn! our neighbors. In this
country our lawn change pretty fuwt,
too. Accustomed to the old estab
lished laws, wo violate the new ones
unreflectingly. I believe that's how
imt of our new regulations are
broken thoughtlessly.
"Generally, I think the Ainericiii)
people mean to obey our laws."
"l.ocHu't our multiplicity of regula
tions." I aked, "hamper law en
forcement. IoeM.'t it mako for n
general disrespect of law? Anyway,
thero are more arrests just now than
ever, l'rlson populations are increas
ing." "Our laws," said the attorney gen
eral, "in the very nature of things,
must natural!.. expand in proportion
to our growth, tiationnlly and inter
nationally, for we live in a period of
constant progress, social and indus
trial. "You emphasize that thre are
more arreBta for infractions of the
law than ever before. To mo that
suggests better law enforcement, not
laxity."
"As to prohibition?" I queried.
"Absence of saloons, less drunken-
, ness, a better moral atmosphere
everywhere, are evidences that prohi
bition has wrought great good."
"But secret drinking?"
"I'm not aware of much."
"Still, don't large numbers of those
who class as pretty good citizens
habitually disregard many nf today's
laws regulative of personal conduct?"
"When a man deliberately and con
tinually breaks the law," snitl At
torney General Sargent, "I can't class
him as a good citizen."
A tarpaulin-covered trurk broke
down, just across the District of Co
lumbia line, in Maryland, opposite the
home of a distinguished scientist nt
tnehed to the bureau of standards.
Kinging the scientist's bell, "Can I
usn your gnrage while I get 'help?"
asked the driver. "Sure." The truck,
housed with some difficulty, the driv
er left.
A sudden suspicion! The scientist
lifted the tarpaulin. Booze! The
angry scientist, a dry, telephoned au
thorities in Washington. A motor
load of ngents arrived investigated.
Then, "I'd like to borrow your
phone," quoth the leader. A cryptic
conversation ensued. "Now," said the
lender, "we'll hide in these bushes till
t lie guy comes back."
Tho sclent ist watched from his
porch. Another truck appeared. The
original driver and a helper booked a
chain onto the cripple. "Now,"
thought the scientist, "for the ar-

in a cloud of dust. "Outside our

"Too much red tape!" complained
the artless scientist, telling me the
story later. "That's why prohibition

Western Lane Makes
Heated Protest
Failure to Build Road From
Interior Resented
the act of legislature uoder which the
highway com mi a ion was organized.
Since the Florence-Eugene highway
was designated one of the secondary
roads bag been built through from the
Pacific in. all the counties on the
coast excepting Lane and Douglas.
Why has this richest section of the
coast country not been connected up?
The coast section of lane county
has paid in 12 per cent of the road
fund tax money. Debates between
Mr. Adams and Mr. Harlow a few
years hence brought out that fact.
The Port of Siuslaw district which is
that portion of the county considered
to be the coast section, received less
than one-third of that money paid
in road fund taxes, for development
of its roaua.
Why should not Lane county recip
rocate by allocating two-thirds of
the general road fund money for de
velopment of this loog neglected por-.
(ion of the county?
Why should Lane county's portion
t)f the Roosevelt Hignway be the last
to receive federal and state recogni
tion? Why is it necessary to spend the
efforts and money of Lane county on
the McKenzie Highway, which hits
no real development value insofar aa
aiding people of Lane county Is con
cerncd and for that highway neglect
tbe coast road where the county's
wealth is awaiting development?
Why is it that along the coast
of Lane count' the state hns never
spent one dollar for road construc
tion? It almost seems that AY e stern
Lime' and Western Douglas county j
don't belong to the alato of 'Oregon. ,
We wish to call attention of every
one to the fact that the first state
highway bond issue was voted down
by Lane rountv proper AND THAT
WKSTKRN LA X K TH K COAST
SKCTIOX VOTED IN FAVOR OK
IT ItY A LARCH MAJORITY.
Also, when the Lane county bond
issue was voted Western Lane fav
ored the issue bv a large majorit,
These bonds were issued and have
furnished paved nntl macadam nuids
to all other sections of the county and
state.
Western Lane nnd Douglas are
still in tho same condition insofar na
highways are concerned, as they were
liO years ago.
Cnn tbif neglect continue indefi
nite! What will be the result?
All communities have a faculty of
coast section gung to be forced to ue
const section going to be forced tl use
that faculty? ?

QOIXIMUNITIES, like individuals,
usually will "take" a certnin
nmount of buffeting at the bands of
nsRociates Yea the community usu
ally is flower to anger than is the:
individual. But, the ire caused by !
such mistreatment at the hands of
county and state officials usunlly Is
intensified because of tho slowness i
with which it is developed. Western
Lane county that community called
the Siuslaw Section grndunlly is
nwakening to the fact it has not in
tho past, and is not now receiving
n square deal from the county or the
stnte iiiHofnr as road development is
concerned. The community is getting
fighting mad and the appended his
tory of the Florence-Eugene Second
ary Stntc Highway development or
rather lark of development is one.
ami n sufficient reason for their
wrnth:
Eleven years npo, residents of the
Siuslaw section, backed by farmer
and commercial organizations in the
entire Western portion of the county
proposed to levy a one-half mill tax
upon themselves each year for the
purpose of constructing the Florence
KtiKene Highway.
That was a most unusual and
enterprising step and because of its
novelty and enterprise it was neces
earv to put up a hard fight in order
to be accorded the privilege of tax
ing themselves for construction of n
highway to the county seat. Hut
tenacity of purpose finally won the
initinl encounter in the "battle with
Eugene" and the first year $ L7.fXKi.Oo
raised throueh the one-half mill tax j
was expended on the road from Flor
ence, up the North Fork. At tint
time Harry Brown was county judge i
and II. M. Harlow ami (ieo. Jlawley
were county commissioners.
Let us digress for a moment from
tho main narrative to consider the
difficulties placed in the way of this
project by the pin-heads of that time
who sought to retard and whse '
successors have reiarted progress of
this wealthy section.
Evidencing a spirit of cooperation
not demonstrated since that time, a
committee from Florence and the
North Fork put their proposition be
fore every (trance unit in the country.
j All endorsed the project. Next, the
, p ro ject was s 1 1 Inn i 1 1 ed lo the com -j
mercial organisations of Cottage
(rove. Springfield and Eugene. These
organizations also ci.dort.cd the pro
' jert.
j The County court entered the levy
! on the budct. Everyone iutereted
j will remember the hot firht which
; was necessary to keep the item in the
budget: how a committee of sHf-np-:
pointed members made a majority re
! port to the Tax I'aers League to
