Slokan6, 'Wash., Sept. It. More
than 19,000,000 waa spent by motor
tourbtts In cities and towns along
the national park highway this
year. It ha been the greatest tour
ing year In the history of the coun
try, according to Fred A. Adam,
field secretary of . the National
Park Highway association.
"Tourists from every state In the
union, 'with travel almost equally di
vided between east and iwest bound
car, have rubbed license plate
along 3.000 lulle of highway from
Chicago to the Pacific roast and
from iPuget Sound to I-ake Michi
gan." aays Mr. Adams.
Adams bases the value of motor
travel on an estimate of 10,000 cars;
that occupants of each car spent at
loaat $15 a day -while on the road:
and that each of the 80,000 car was
on the hlwhway a minimum of 20
days.
"I consider the eatlmate a very
conservative one," ..he say. "This
traffic was Interstate and tloe not
take Into consideration the greatly
increased volume ot Intrastate mo

proposes placing before each county

One of the big features to be used
In the advertlsiug campaign Is the
publication of a booklet, descriptive
of the agricultural resources of each

"We suggest that the county
courts call into conference the, peo

The senator declared that If ac

''Public sentiment Is growing dally

the president got Just what every
man gets who plays another man's

Senator Johnson denied that the
delay in ratifying had any connection

Portland, Seyt. 19. "Yes. I Uror
the General Wood Idea of a stand
ing army rather than that of Secre
tary Baker, but like aU 'cranks' on
matters military I have a' panacea of
my own," remarked Lieutenant-
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt tn one
of his Infrequent rest periods at bis
hotel.
"Universal training is more im
porta nt from an economic stand
point than the military, to my
mind," continued Roosevelt "I
would exempt no young mau from
military training, for physical or
other reasons. For those who are
deficient physically, or mentally, I
would recommend training or de
velopment battalions In charge of
experta. It would mean Americani
zation and regeneration, in many
cases.
"I believe In compulsory training,
but not in compulsory service in
time of peace.. In other words, I do
not believe men' should be drafted
into a standing' army. In time of
war general conscription for the
army Is en admitted success. It
would be more so It conscription'
should draw men who already had
gone through a training period, mak
ing them more fit, more prepared.
. "How would I suggest handling
the compulsory training? If I bad
my way, I would handle it through
a general staff composed ot. one
fifth' regular army officers, one-fifth
employers of labor, one-fifth repre
sentatives of labor, one-fifth Inter
ested in arming, and one-fifth edu
cators from schools of the nation
uovernors or tne states would re
commend appointees in these, var
ious classes.
"The national guard would be rep
resented on the general staff in the
last four classes. The national guard
of the nation would be -Interested in
the program and would be the re
ceptacle of the men who had com
pleted compulsory training. They
would desire to keep in touch "with
military affairs when their compul
sory term had ended and would turn
to the national guard."
"I have found the sentiment for
the 'American Legion splendid wher
ever I have gone, and organization
is progressing rapidly," he reported.
The American Jeglon is fast assum
ing a leading role tn patriotic move
ments. The Astoria incident Is but
typical of what the Legion is doing

M. Longuet declared that Gustave
