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. Yes. indeed. But there is no road yet from Port
land to Hillsboro or from Portland to Oregon City that

stream of money spending tourists from all parts of the

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. Those roads represent an amount oi labor tnat )
will be beyond our means for hundreds of years to come." f
' In other words, it can't be done, and we much continue f

Stuff and nonsense. Nothing can be done unless anj
attempt is made to do it. All the big things of this world
liflve been dons .within a single generation. 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. India's great military high
way was comparatively few years in course of construction.
Instead of waiting for our descendants to build high
ways, we ought to build them today, enjoy them, and let
the coming generations also enjoy them and snare in tne

Jackson county spends $30,000 annually in building its nUuUL rtflllQ ml

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.

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."

The football teams of Central

meet on Thanksgiving day for I ho
championship of oButhcru Oregon.
Medford has won every game from
teams who in their turn have dofent

undefeated nnd only this team Ktr.iidn

Central Point always has and nl
wnyB will be the hereditary foo of
Medford's and nothing in tho world
gives them greater pleasure than to
defeat any team thn tplays under
the name of this city. 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.
