else the council will necessarily be forced to pass
a strict ordinance regulating such practices.
The starting point o f genius is original discovery: the
second step is its interpretation to the world.—John C.
Van Dyke.
In a very excellent article
giving a summary o f the
information gained by the
newspaper men who were members o f the P. E.
& E. special train through the Willamette valley,
the Telegram of last Saturday states, “ Without
exception those (the roads) in Washington
county, in the vicinity of Hillsboro and Forest
Grove are among the worst in the state.“ There
is no use denying the truth of this indictment.
Neither is there any use extending excuses o f any
kind. It is simply up to us to accept the “ boobie”
prize in the good roads movement until the time
when we arouse our selves and decree that
we will have as good, or better roads than
any county in the state. Washington county
farmers are prosperous, they are progressive,
and have simply not aroused themselves to this
much needed movement. It is not the cost o f
good roads any more, but rather the cost of
poor
roads that is attracting
attention.
The boosting spirit that fails to notice defects in
its subject in the long run will prove more o f a
deterrent to development than an aid.
Let no time he wasted in deciding for better
roads for Washington county. Then let a scien
tific system o f improvement be adopted, and
immediatley putin active operation.
WORST ROADS
IN THE STATE
Rev. Kuhlman of Tillamook was judged
guilty o f breaking the “ smashing ordinance”
while in Portland last week. He was freed from
the charge of any unworthy intent, but was con
victed on the charge o f indiscretion. According
to this ruling we again learn that ignorance of
human nature is more liable to lead one into
trouble than mere ignorance o f the written law.
Two murders have been committed in the
American prize ring during the past few
months. How long will the American public
permit such reactionary methods o f obtaining so
called amusment. As a matter o f fact, like
many other evils, boxing has become much more
degrading with the commercilization o f the
sport.
