It is to be hoped that our troop (rs succeed in catching Villa the Mexican outlaw. Watchful wait ing is at an end at last, and the dove of peace has taken to the tall timber. It seems too bad, however, that we are drawn into war by the unprovoked sacrifice - of good American lives on Amer ican soil. It cannot be said that our" army is invading Mexico without ample justification an'! we dare say that there is not an American cit;;en to be found anywhere who does not approve of the effort to catch Villa no matter what it may cost. Villa, the rapist, the murderer, ,v ths outlaw, the moral pervert : end monstrosity! Yet he is . Offended at the American people because he waa not recognized as president instead of C'arranza. and now a3 long as he is allowed 40 live, an American withia strik ina distance of him is unsafe. The sooner he Is hung to a sour apple tree the bettor -will it be 1 icw rivilization. 'R-seems a little etrange that the Mesicane eeahl REVISION Of THE ROAD LAWS, The Beaverton Chamber cf Commerce will no doubt strike a popular chord in their initiatory effort to revive our present rod laws. It i3 no doubt a large un dertaking but we believe if the Sentiment of the people can be crystallized a workable law will result from their efforts. The nlan is to call a convention of delegates from all representative clubs throughout the valley to agree upon some popular bill to go before the. coming legislature. Too much of our money is wasted in an effort to improve our roads: There is not enough science, or business ability, or practical knowledge applied to the art of road building. Oar present laws are crude and do not apply to present day condi tions. We might sum up some of the defects a3 follows! We pay $3.00 per day for if.o.i to look after a business involving $21,000,000, and expect them to make a grand showing. Ihe law oermits the County Court to ap point a road overseer in each dis trict regardless of fitness for the position, and then, expect the district to vote money into his hands for road improvement, the law permits of road improve ment in most counties only Dy tax levy each year because the two ner cent limit will not allow of a bond issue sufficient to build enough road to make an issue of road bonds worth while. There are a great many other defects in the law, All these defect act Will some good republican please accept the nomination for kfa winervision of road con-1 President. All you have to do is i ,t, struetian. Unless something is done in the near future to give Oregon a more workable road law we fear that our road improvement will come to an untimely end. The energy that is now being expended in the agitation of good roads ought to be expended in ths imnrnvement of our laws. We should begin at the foundation before we build the structure. The law is the foundation. Let U3 reconstruct it. Ths U. S. and Mexico. Again the United State3 is stir red bv the prospect of trouble across the Mexican border. Daily troops are being rushed to the margin of the Hio Orande, and following them are the munition trains. With our soldiers goes the heart of the American people. What will be the outcome or this movement can only, as yet, be conjectured. Should it result in an uprising of the entire -population of Mexico, it will prove a troublesome country to subdue, with ifs vast mountainous inter im cm intrv. and its bloodthirsty inhabitants through whose veins at:u flmva the blood of an Indian nation mixed with that of heir fiery conquerors, the Spaniards. These people of the South for get nothing, and in each heart remains the ancient malice fos tered by the interference of the Unittd Stateti with tne lexas Rebellion. The moment the first American blood wets the wil of get- the consent of Roosevelt. The rest is easy. Many are are chosen. called but few THE LONG TRAIL. By I. Will Spillet. (Continued from last week) From the table he now paced the distance to the little window and turning he paced back again, Then he moved the table a pare nearer it so that the object on the table was no longer in the shadow, but fully in the light of the stars, if there had been any stars; but strange, though the Bky was clear there were no stars visible to the man or) the other side of the table. The patch of sky ex posed was one of those unac countable holes in the univerce through which astronomers, ex amine as they will with the meet powerful telescopes science can evolve, find no trace of star or planet. The watch on the table ticked away the minutes,' and just as the hand of the watch moved over the figure twelve denoting the hour as one o'clock, the rev olution of the earth had so moved the position of the observer as to rliBcloss the corner of a star through the window. At the same moment, the ob ject on the table began to take definite shape, losing the black ness of its outline, and slowly became luminous, growing brighter as the etar advareed IF YOU ARE DEAF READ THIS.
