"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

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

i.he Lusitiinia, were contained in an
informal note from Ambassador

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

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

however, it was announced that the

that effect.
Washington society, following the
appointment of Robert limning as tho
secretary of state lias expressed keen

daughter of John W. Foster, secreta

was given an early training in Wash

.Judge Hamilton litis decided that
violation of the prohibition law is a
state offense nnd that the city of
Uoseburg is without authority in ende
avoring to impose punishment, for sucu
violations. "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. Ilenslee was given his costs

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.
