BARBARIC WAR The fine old statues and other piec es of sculpture and relics of antiqui ty in Europe are being ruthlessly de stroyed by war, and those composed of iron, bronze or heavier metals are being converted into bullets or other munitions. The bronze and iron lion which marked the site of Waterloo, has been appropriated by the Germans and Rlverton who have not seen Bandon or Coquille in years, and etc. We once heard of a picnic party from Marshfleld who went via Empire to the beach, and on returning home Inquired of an Empire citizen about another road by which they could re turn home. And the citizen stated that he did not know as he had not been in Marshfleld for nine years and then incidentally remarked that although he had lived in Empire for forty years lie had never been over on the north side of the bay. This is partially due to the general typography of the country and the several independant business centers, but wo believe the greatest reason is the iniilequate transportation facil- itieD.

ATTENDANTS OF MERCY The American relief associations organized for the benefit of the Eu ropean sufferers have been generally commended as is evidenced by the fol lowing communication under date of July 24th, and bearing a London head line, as taken from an exchange: America, the most philanthropic na tion in the world, has contributed thus far in money alone nearly $25,000,000 to the allies, according to an English that desire and a hard surface road to Roseburg was agitated for years as the best solution for our condition. But the Recorder submits that the requirements for such a road ceases with the completion of the Eugene Coos bay railroad. Within twelve months the Coos Bay-Douglas road will be used solely for local farm trav el and nuto excursionists during the summer months. Not denying that the farmers along that road will be en titled to some assistance, we beleive that the money to be applied on that road should be reduced and applied principally on the roads within our own county first. Freight, mail and passengers will without doubt,be prnctically absorbed by the Willamette-Pacific railroad very shortly and our first attention should be directed toward the con struction of roads from our several farming sections to the local towns railroad stations, by-ways and sid ings; secondly to feeders for the trunk- lines and thirdly to Roseburg or to some outside point. A road to Roseburg would be ben eficial and if Coos county had plenty of money, should be built. But with limited sums for road building, wo should expend it locally as being with in our opinion is best calculated to bring the greatest results to the greatest number of our Coos county citizens.

Why isn't a certain amount of the road taxes laid aside each year to be used for permanent road build ing? One part of the county states that it will not stand for anything un less it gets what the other part does consequently no one is getting much of anything. It is up to the county as a whole to settle upon something de finito and carry it out. What improv es one part, improves the other that much. By doing this, better results will be arrived at and the cost cheap ened. One thing necessary in roadbuilding which is like everything else, is to have some one who understands the business; but where there are so many road-builders, so called, who look for ward to pay day only, results cannot be expected. And where roadbuild ing i scarried on in a dozen places in stead of being centralized, tho cost is far greater consequently not getting what you should for the money. Then here is another thing: if planks are used nnd placed on the ground crosswise it is only a few years before they aro ns bad as a cor duroy road; and furthermore, where planks are laid on the ground without any foundation, they soon go to piec es as mere is naming to Hold them in place, und where tho ordinary fir tins ber is subject to weather conditions, it soon decays. ,If we aro going to build roads by bonding let us nt least build a road thut will last until the bonds become due and the better the material is used the longer the roads will ast and the best is the cheapest in the long run.
