HIGHWAY SIDEWALK HELD UP
We feel that the reasons advanced by the SERA en
gineer for not building the gravel sidewalk between Eu
gene and Springfield city limits were not well taken. In
the lirst place the walk is badly needed and the stretch of
highway has caused the death of five persons the last few
years.
Later the road may be widened and straightened at
Judkins point but if the sidewalk were constructed irom
Springfield to the point m ost of the dam age would have
been eliminated and it would have been a simple m atter to
extend the sidewalk when the road is widened.
The engineer’s argum ent that people would not use
the walk and that cars would park on it has not worked out
in the Santa Clara district w here a gravel walk of lesser
standards has been constructed. Form erly there were sev
eral people killed in the Santa Clara section but there has
been no pedestrians killed since the walk was constructed.
SERA workers are now employed on many projects
of doubtful value simply to provide work. We think th at
it is far better to build som ething that the community can
use and of economic! value such as the gravel sidewalk.
We hope the highway commission will see fit to build
a sidewalk along the highway between the two cities soon.
If there are more deaths on this section of road as the re
sult of pedestrians being struck by cars, then the respon
sibility will be with the highway departm ent.

CROP REDUCTION
Senator Borah, speaking in Meridian, Idaho, denoun
ced the adm inistration’s crop reduction program and raised
an interesting question as to distribution. He said the re
duction program was in opposition to President Roosevelt's
political philosophy. • • •. The S enator's contention was
th at if the American people had enough of the good things
this country produces there would be no annoying and
em barrassing surpluses.
Destruction is not the remedy, declared Senator
Borah when there were 60,000.000 on charity and 20,000.-
000 “living m eagerly." He said “this destruction of food
and the thing of which clothing is m ade in the midst of
millions of hungry and ill clad men and women is the last
spasm of pessimism. It has never seemed to me to be any
part or parcel of the philosophy of recovery or the political
philosophy of the President.” • • •
It is the Jou rn al’s impression th a t for the last four or
five years millions of good citizens of this country have
been subsisting on part rations. Freight t a r loadings
would be much closer to the million m ark weekly if every
body had ail the physical necessities of life needed to keep
them fit. Destruction does not seem to be the proper solu

JOHN JOSEPH GAINES M.Q
A PROPHET DISHONORED
The death of John the Baptist was the first warning
Jesus had of the fate in store for Him. Cast into prison for
denouncing the licentious m arriage of Herod, John was
sacrificed to the wicked request of the wife, Heredias, and
her abandoned daughter, Salome.
And when the daughter of the aid Herodiag came In,
and danced, aLd pleased Herod anil them that »at with him,
the king »aid unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou
wilt and 1 will give it thee. . . .
And she went forth, and said unto
her mother. What
shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. . . .
And immediately the king ent an executioner. . . .
And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the
damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
The death of John cast a perm anent shadow over the
heart of Jesus and added greatly to the force and bitter
ness of His denunciations. His rejection by His home
town, N azareth, was another blow. It is easy to imagine
the high hopes witli which He had turned His steps toward
it. He had already succeeded in Capernaum and near-by
cities; He had made a great stir in the capital. For the first
time in history the name of Nazareth was liked with the
nam e of a national character. He would go hack to His
old friends and neighbors, give them the glad tidings, heal
their sick, and share with them the joys of success. But
the town received Him scornfully. You may have fooled
them In Capernaum ," the cynical faces said, “but little
old Nazareth isn't so slow. You’re no prophet; we know
you. You're just the boy who used to work in the car
penter shop.”
He could do there no mighty work because of their
unbelief.
His m other and brothers jyavered, feeling it unsafe to
he closely connected with one who was stirring up so much

For even Ills brethren did not believe In him.

Jerusalem to face the events of th a t last great week which
the Gospels give us In such full detail.
In the final hour of tragedy even His disciples were
missing. Only a few stricken women huddled a t the foot

So He died, and those who had demanded His blood
