The memorial sermon was preach ed by Kv. F. C. Lovett, pastor of the Baptist church, whose address was tilled with beautiful thought and kindly tribute. The text chosen wns In Romans 13:7, "Keuder to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute Is due; custom to whom custom: fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor." The speaker said In part: "In writing these words to the Christians In Home, I'aul stands on a plane far above the ordinary Jew. The Itonian arm had smitten the Jew and put his neck under her yoke. The Jews bitterly resented this. But I'aul saw behind the hand of Rome the hand of God. Judea was to be a great whispering ga'lery of spiritual truth designed to bless the world. Jewish excluslveness did nut furnish as adequate a medium as the wide sweeping power of the Ro man government. I'aul recognized that the powers that be are ordained of God. "That I'aul's words had force with t lie Christians living In Rome seems apparent from l'llny's statement that the Christians pay their taxes. Gov ernment brings Its boons to men. Its favors are not to be received as a matter of course. They confer obli gations upon those enjoying Its priv ileges. "We In this country owe a great debt to our government. We are Justly proud of It. We believe It to be the best that the sun ever shone upon. We also owe a great debt to those who have fought to preserve this government. We meet In mem ory of them this day. "There are nearly 900,000 of them among the living and many more among the dead. They are pass ing away now Rt the rate of 113 each day, or over three thousand each month. Let us not welcome the cry to decrease the sum paid In pensions, though It be large. This great rountry can afford to be generous; It aennot afford to be ungrateful. "We do well to gather together In their memory, to recall their hero Ism and sacrifices. Honor Is theirs, let us freely give them their due measure, "We should honor as well the mo hers and wives and sweethearts of the hos In blue. They shared with the soldier In the sacrifices and triumphs Never a bayonet plunged Info the heart and breast of the sol dier that had not already cooled Us hot wrath In the heart of the lined one a', home. To the mother and wife lelotigs the sleepless vigil, the Kchlnu uncertainty Whl'e lie s'ept she prayed "If a mother should write her stotv of the .u she would plu-lv a white ha'r from a temple and dip the living stj'us In'c the chalice, of ,her tears, to writ the diary of the days upon her heart. "Let us also bring our thanks to God that those who once fought un der the gray uniform have risen above the hatred of a hitter strife. hey are true and loyal citizens. jThey shared the awful perils of war; let them also share the flowers of peace. i "We do well In meeting here to !day In honor of the heroic dead and the noble living. We do this first. as a matter of simple Justice. We should do It as well for our own strengthening In our moral nature. To give deserved honor to those who have fought well Is to fortify our own natures and prepare us for the present and future struggles. "Opportunities for the most heroic dpvotlon are before us. Our country i we love so well seems destined to 'piny a great part In the work of the j world. i "She can do this because of her great wealth. Though so young her i wealth Is about double that of l Great Itrltaln, or 134 billion dollars. !We are Increasing that wealth at the j rate of twenty millions per day. Such wealth and Its accompanying power was never known In history. '"We are also a mixed people. The J peoples scattered at Habel are com ing together again. The sturdlness of one race, the mental acumen of i another, the executive power of an other and the foresight of yet anoth er, when combined will make n great people. We will be kin to all the families of the earth. This should also equip us for a unique task among the nations. "We are rising to our world tasks, the split that forgave China her war I Indemnity to ns, marked an unknown jtype of International diplomacy. That spirit was begotten nf the Prince of ' Peace. I "There : re many who see ominous clouds upon the horizon of this coun Itry. The unrest, the try for eco nomic, social and religious readjust- men's to the chunked conditions of 'our day, present great problems, they must tv settled In a progres sive spirit. Let us have our full share in these tusks. Let us on this Pacific slope, the arena for the great est opportunity for future triumphs, do our part well. Let us have the spirit of "'One who never turned his back, hut marched breast forward. Never doubted clouds would break. .Never dreamed though rleht were worsted, wrong would trl- 1 nmph, Held we fall to rise: are baffled to fight better; sleep to wake'" Place- of ltoxo KrMitnl ( bnjrl r Owing to the Central school build ,lng being some distant e from the bus iness center of town, the cotiimit'ee ;tti charge has decided to hold the af'er they are made. I "It has taken a ureat deal of time and money to i;et the roads of Jose phine county properly located. This part of our work Is now practically .completed. The Galice road, Kerby road, Murphy road, Merlin road, and the road over Grave creek hill- have I been resurveyed and so changed as. to reduce the grade at least fifty per tent. Many other minor changes have been made, the result of which , has been to put our roads where they I will not be subject, to change In the .future. j "Our work this spring is largely grading and graveling. In addition to about twenty miles of ordinary gravel roadway in the county, we will soon have about eight miles of ma cadam completed. Our macadam road work will cost about $2,500 per mile. This may seem to be costly, but it is .mm h less than the same kind of ,work Is being done for In other coun ties. I wish to emphasize the fact 'that we are doing work that will not be thrown away later on. Most of our supervisors are doing good work; some of them, of course, make mis takes. ', "We have necessarily expended j quite a sum of money during the past year for road machinery. This ex penditure, however, will prove to be a matter of economy in future road work. We are now prepared with all of the machinery that the county will .need for several years. We have two traction engines, one for draw ing gravel wagons and one to run our rock crusher, and one steam roller, one road sprinkler, one giant grader for heavy work, and about fif'een smaller ones. "Our road work this year, not In cluding machinery, will cost about i $30,000. This will mean a tax of about three dollars on every one thousand dollars of assessed property. (And right here I wish to call atten tion to the fact that every one living In the county outside of Grants Pass i who pays three dollars for road pur poses pays at the same time fifteen dollars for other purposes over which ithe county court has no control. And those who live inside the city of , Grants Pass pay thirty-four dollars on the thousand over which the tonn ty court has no control. I mention this for the benefit of those who blanie the county court for high taxes "But. returning to the road ques tion. 1 wish to enter my complaint against reckless auto driving. The auto has its rlgh's on the road, but the speed limit should be observed. :and the law governing the signal should be observed also. Teamsters should always turn to the right both In meeting other vehicles and when other vehicles are passing them from the rear. No one has a right to mon opolize more than one half of -he road while other vehicles are passin?." delay. The second brood will ap pear early In July, so that another spraying will follow the latter part of June. J. F.

It is hoped also that some means can be devised whereby the merchants can assist the adver tising committee in spreading the fame of the festival throughout the rural districts through the sending of printed matter to their customers. Heretofore the festival has not been as largely attended by out-of-town people as might be wished, and an effort will he made this year to in terest them, especially in the floral exhibits and the election of queen.
