"THE STATE" Ileforc he was president of Prince ton Woodrow Wilson was :i professor of jurisprudence and international law in that university and in 1818 he pub lished a condensed history of all the governments of the world under the simple title, "The State" which hns since been used in Yale and other un iversities as a standard text book. Ah one of our exchanges remarks it is a book that should bo in the home of every American citizen. Now is u particularly good time to read it, or to reread it, if by chance you were so fortunate as to have studied it in your earlier years. The chapters on I he governments of England, France and Germany will give a better idea of the conditions that led up. to the present upheval of Europe than almost any other available book because it was written in times of peace when such questions could be calmly and impar tially analyzed. Exchange. This book, consisting of some 800 printed pages, was Wilson's graduat ing thesis by which he earned one of his degrees at John Hopkins universt ty and if ho was a student ho was al so a master in this great field of re search, and it is most likely that his instructors who inspected his thesis learned much of history, civil and constructive government, and polili cal philosophy. Ed. A SHIPBUILDING HOOM Every shipbuilding concern from Bath in Maine to Newport News in Virginia is working to its full enpac ity. The New Republic says the most remarkable change since the time of the Napoleonic wars has come sud denly to a long neglected American in dustry. Contracts have been closed for forlyoight ocean vessels and ne goliations arc pending for sixty more. A British company has placed an order for the building of two ships in an American yard a thing never heard of before and is likely to or der two more. The ships ordered and tlio'so for which plans are being drawn embrace not only passenger vessel for the coastwise service but freight ers for the Pacific and South Ameri can service. Some of them are big cargo carriers for the Transatlanti business, some arc oil tankers to go anywhere and everywhere. The Iron Trade Review says the amount of work now on tho ways of Eastern shipbuilders seldom has been equaled. The present bookings of one Atlantis yard exceed $20,000,000 and its capacity is engaged well to 1910 With the government naval program reaching form, the shipbuilders lool for busy times ahead. This shipbuilding activity is having its effort upon other lines of industry The steel mills nro getting large or ders for plates and are able to ask higher prices. Tho boom in American shipbuilding is one of the premier prosperity facts of the times. Port land Journal. J. L.

Niv;s Notes & Gossip The arrest of Victoriano Hucrta at CI Paso may have the effivt of pre venting tho launching of n now move ment for the restoration of peace in .lexico. The government is withhold ing the evidence upon which it pro poses to prosecute Hucrta for viola I. on of the neutrality laws. Those who now Hucrta best are certain that lie Iocs not aim to bo president of Mex :?o but is ambitious to serve at the head of an army that may establish a new government. According to information thus gath ered there at least four separate and .liatiuct groups apart from the Villa ind Carranza supporters in the Unit ed States who are active politically .n the Mexican situation. Whenever .uch activity shall reach the point of -;etting on foot a millitary expedition from tho United States, arrests arc to follow .Ofiicials in the department of Justice experesscd surprise that IIu jrta and Oroza had been released on ioihI, and let it be known that thoy iad instructed their agents to main 'ain a strict watch while the two gen erals are at liberty, in order that thoy may not escape across the Mexican '.order. President Wilson, it is understood, will not pemit his hand to be forced n Mexico by the actions of Hucrta. If General Hucrta should succeed in complicating the Mexican situa tion tho effect, as far as the adminis tration is concerned, would simply be io muddy the troubled waters there .ind to fortify the President's deter mination to stop tho whole thing whenever ho regards the time as most ippropriatc. Intimations of a favorable note from Germany replying to the last tote of tho United States concerning uibmnrine warfare and tho sinking of i.he Lusitiinia, were contained in an informal note from Ambassador Gerard received at the state depart ment. Tho dispatch was transmitted to President Wilson at Cornish, New Hampshire. The information forward ed by the ambassador was intended to depict the atmosphere in Berlin of ficial circlcsaud was not an attempt to outline tho forthcoming Gorman note.

Another important development in the European war situation was the call of reprencnttives of 1,000 -importers of this country upon Secretary Lan sing with a petition for action to en able importers to bring their dye stuffs and other United States owned moods out of Germany. Coincidental, however, it was announced that the United Slates is not considering the placing of an embargo at present on shipments to any beligcrent country, notwithstanding published reports to that effect. Washington society, following the appointment of Robert limning as tho secretary of state lias expressed keen interest in tho part his wife will play in social activity iicrc. It is generally believed Mrs. Lansing will prove one of the ablest leaders, socially, Wash inglon has seen for years. She is the daughter of John W. Foster, secreta ry of state under llarison, and thus was given an early training in Wash ington's social activities.

"Tho action of Judge Ha milton is a reversal of tho decision of the city court, tho judge of which had sentenced Frank Ilenslee to 25 days in jail to carrying liipior through the streets of the city. According to the decision Ihe chief question involved was whether the ci ty hud authority to enact an ordinance looking to the enforcement of the pro hibition laws without authorization by the city charter. The local option laws are slate laws, said Judge Ha milton, and until punishments for violations are provided by the stale they must remain in the state's juris diction.

OF BANDON ALLIE R Oregon i Sale of Jacksonville Road Connerling Link I tot noon Medfotil and Jacksonville and On nod by the Itanium Family lo Turn Trolley The Iiarnutn road is a thing of Ihe past having been sold on July 1 to S. S. Hullis, owner of the Southern Oregon Traction Company. This w.-s a steam road, whose president h. run the railroad's one locomotive for the last 15 years, whose vice presi dent is chief foreman and master me chanic, whose secretary is also truck walker, section foreman nnd mast r mechanic. In short the Harmim rai' load is a strictly family institutio , not only being owned by tho J. C Itanium family but operated by thei 1. A history of this road throws an interesting side light upon the hi; tory of tho Hogue river valley, particular ly Med ford and Jacksonville. Twenty five years ago two promot ers started the road, inducing Hi town of Jacksonville to raise $25,000 for a road lo Medford. The promote too!; Ihe money and left. Jacksonville had worthless bonds on its hands ar 1 it was found the mils were not pa' I for and the road fell into the hands of the Honeyinan Hardware company of Portland which firm had furnished the unpaid for rails. Here J. C. Itanium, then a you. mechanic engaged in tho sash and door business stepped in and in IW ' leased the property and pioceeded t.) run a dnily train between Med for 1 undJacksnnville. Mr. Itanium bought a second-hat. d locomotive from the Southern Pacific and with a special permit, drove it himself from Portland In Medford. From that time he gradually collect ed more equipment until at the tiin of the recent sale there wore on hand II) fiat cars, !! locomotives, 2 boxcar , and 2 passenger cars. Extensions 1 f two miles which can lie used in reach ing the Applegale Valley have been built so that the total mileage is now about seven miles. Willi his own family the entire working force, with a patience and frugalityseldom excelled, the presi dent of the railroad company prosper ed as the community grew and when the Pacific and I'tastern was built by the Hill lines to Butte Falls and John I!. Allen was riding on top of one of the most sensational booms ever see 1 in this or any other stale, it was r ported sold for $125,000. Now S. Ilullts is tlie purchaser of the Itanium line, the purchase price being $00,000, The old wood burning loconiotiv "Cannon Hall", so long a picture 1 feature in Medford will be relogat -1 to the scrap heap, Ihe line will ch" trilled nnd connected with Med ford' trolley syMtem and the fainom H.11 nuiii railroad will take its placo with othnr relics of the pioneer (lays.
