BOWLBY HUNTS TROUBLE
T would seem that Major Bowlby, state highway ongiii'

Jutes with highway emitiaetoi's and quarrels between I'iip-

ducted, but must dolibortitoly hunt up more, so ho wrote
a letter to the Seattle auto elub telling them that the
Paeifie higjiway was unfit for travel and autoinobilists
should avoit it"nnd go through central Oregon, shipping
their autos fi'oin Portland to the starting point.
!ft is true thaj little iniprovenient work has been done
on the Paeifie .highway outside of southern Oregon, and
it is tho truth that HuVls, hut Douglas county is improving
its worst grades and Haelcson county has paved a large
part of its highway and graded as much more over the Sis
kiyous. Central Oregon has'made no improvements.
The Pacific highway is in better shape than ever be
fore. It is and always' has been a good summer road, in
sections macadamized and much improved. Each year sees
much improvement, though there is room for a great deal
more. It is really a state highway and should be built by
the state.
The improvements made in Jackson county have been
under lajor Howlby s supervision, lie is responsible for
them. Having spent so much of Jackson county money on
this road, it is ingratitude on his part to. try and route tour
ists away from this county to localities that have never
entrusted him with a cent.
Major Howlby's act was impolitic, to say the least, lie
lias. played into the nanus ot Ins enemies.
MARTIN VERDICT AGAIN
IIE Martin verdict continues a topic of 'discussion. It
is not to be wondered at. As a miscarriage of justice
it shocked part of the community and revealed an amazing
code of ethics governing the other part.
Defense of the Verdict and it certainly needs defense
does not alter the essential facts an officer of the law
killed in the discharge of his dutv bv a law violator who
had frequently threatened lus murder, the latter freed as
a reward for his crime, the sheriff's office co-operating
with the defense.
Willi all due respect, it is not to be supposed that any
account of the trial that aimed to be impartial would
please either prosecution or defense, because participants
necessarily lack the perspective of the onlooker.
The Mail Tribune has expressed its opinion of the case
and sees no reason for altering that opinion. Right is
right and wrong is wrong, despite court and jury verdicts
to the contrary. Discussion is fruitless. The verdict is
writ, setting a lawless precedent in the encouragement of
crime:
"The moving finger writes, and having writ
Moves' on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all j'oiir tears wipe out a word of it."
FRUIT OF MONOPOLY
TTirE business interests who listened to the shipping"
X trust- niul dnfontod the shin nurchnse bill, are now
reaping the reward of their action. In eight days no ves
sel cleared from New York for Europe. The docks are
piled high with merchandise awaiting carriers, but there
are no carriers.
The bulk of the nation's sea traffic is in the hands of
foreign ship-owners, whose ships have been commandeered
for other purposes. The American shipping trust has
taken advantage of this condition to raise rates to an ex
orbitant figure, but done nothing to supply needed ships.
Traffic is congested and paralyzed and there is no relief
in sight.
The ship purchase bill would have solved the problem
and given relief to the commercial interests of the nation
by the establishment of an American merchant marine.
Exorbitant rates would have been impossible.
The lack of shipping facilities and the harmful effect
upon the Philippines has brought forth tin executive order
for the utilization of army transports for carrying goods
to tho islands which could not be transported any other
way. This will give some relief. Tf our warships could
be put-to siniilar service, their expensive existence would
at least be useful.
