ROMAN ROADS AND ROT. The Portland Oregoman. charter member of the "Can't Do It" club, enemy of southern Oregon, opponent of edu cation, organ of reactionary polities and mouthpiece of inossbaekism, voices its opposition to the proposed Crater Lake highway and the good roads movement in general in the following editorial: "It would be a mighty fine tiling to have 'a Roman road' irom Jacksonville, Medford and Ashland to Crater Lake.

Continuing, the Oregonian says: "Yet good roads can not be had at once. Talk about Roman roads is prema ture. It is well for an ideal, but we shall struggle yet awhile to reach it. . . . Such roads have been more than 2000 vears in building. . . . But it is hardly worth while to talk of Roman roads except at immeasurable the other, distances.

The great Chi- N nese wall was built in the reign of one emperor. The most famous of Roman roads, the Appian highway, was built , withm one man's lifetime, by Appius Claudius, the blind, three centuries before Christ.

But $30,000 is 5 per cent on $600,000 and this amount would criss-cross the county with Roman roads, and the taxation be no heavier than it is today. To the continued opposition of the Oregonian and the mossbacks is due the poor roads of Oregon, and every at tempt to secure a good highway or devise a plan whereby the constitution can be amended to make possible a good roads program is consistently and obstinately opposed by both the newspaper and the reactionary, unprogressive and provincial element which it represents. -Notice.

L soKEjnunsE Philadclphian Writes Judge Crowell Telling of 200-Box Exhibit in Quaker City. FOOTBALL GAME ON . THANKSGIVING DAY SQUELCH THE KNOCKERS. Some way must be devised for stopping the knocking indulged in principally by real estate dealers, who in their selfishness and greed discourage sales made by others in the mistaken idea that it will enable them to make a sale themselves. . The Commercial club must devise some means of end ing the anvil chorus. In this the Mail Tribune will co operate and publish in big black type the names of those guilty of trying to queer deals in which they are not per sonally interested. Every purchaser who locates here is the means of bringing other prospective purchasers, and every one in the valley should cordially assist in locating people and boosting all sales, whether he gets any commission or not. Tliis is a case where it should be one for all and all for one. When the deal for the Snowy Butte orchard was pend ing, some real estate dealer went to the prospective pur chaser and tried to discourage him from making the deal an act contemptible in itself and injurious to the coun try.,. Such a man should be published and sent to Coventry. It is refreshing in this connection to hear the reply that Judge W. M. Colvig made to a new arrival who com plained of the six days' rain-as a contradiction of Mcd ford's claim to a fine climate. "Yes, it' has rained for six days," said Judge Colvig.! Hon. W. S. Crowell has reeclved the following message on a post card from Philadelphia, Pa., written by a friend, P. E. Pomerene: "Coming down Droad street last evening I no ticed nn exposition of pears from Medford, Oregon. Thinking of you I went to sco it. There woro about 200 boxes of pears, tho llko of which I never saw before or supposed grew, Havo seen a large pear now and then as a 'sample' but to see 200 boxes, all samples, was an 'eye opener' to me."

To do thifc tho Central Point team ib oxpriiiig everything in its power to placo a first-class team of such ritrongth that the black and red of Medford will bo trailed in tho mud of defeat. Medford slnco its Grants Pass game has corrected all of its weak points and Thursday will send a power- ful tenm on to tl.o field. In fact Med-1 ford, although they expect to play a j bitterly hard fought gamo, noverthe less when tho whltitlo calls tho game, they expect to bo winners by a small margin. What Would You Do?
