Press Comment HIGHWAY O.M.MlSSHtN XKXT? .Ruinoi has It that the gover nor's thirst for power Is not to be quenched by his gaining control of the Port of Portland commis sion he has his eye on the stato highway department. Word comes up from the city of Portland, where his excellency has no doubt been disclosing his plans to his friends, that certain of our high way commissioners are to get the axe. It is not to be a direct at tack, however, but u flank move ment ami In sueh a manner as to rover up the governor's hand In the matter. The plan Is to have eharges o a serious nature made asalnst the commission charges sufficient to justify an Investiga tion by the executive. liven though nothing Is found to con demn II will be easy to say that the charges against, and investi gation of, tlie commission has so impared Its standing and useful ness as to call for the removal of at least the two members longest in office. It is a pretty plan and It would be Interesting to know Just when and where the flank attark is to be made. Can it be that the Mar ion county grand Jury Is beint used for that purpose? Time only will answer the question. Meanwhile we should be patient ami amuse oursetvcH by watching the show which seems to be growing bigger and better every day In every uay. Salem Capital Journal, w ti.i.-Ait isi;i i i tour Thoughtfully citizen's In Ashland must regret the net Ion that has been taken by Mime American Le gion mem hh there to censure General Wood for his action in not stopping there to Inspect the site offered for the new soldiers home.

The State Legislature, the State Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Chamber of Commerce. i wmie 85 Chumbei-fl of Commerce in other Oregon cUles, Governor Nm'hled. and Governor Meier have all given unstinted support of j UoKeburg. For perhaps the first ! time in its history the stato of I Oregon has been working solidly ( together on one project and now, I success for . that project is in sight.

Two or three months ago, how ever, ii few men In Ashland be-' gan an -effoVt , to, have Ashland named as tho location for the new' national home. They did this in spite of the fact that Roseburg had already been working for two years: they did it in spite of the fact that their city wos already on record as endorsing Roseburg: they did It in the face of , the fact that A-shland Is obviously too far south to meet the requirement. There is a deckled element of short-sightedness in all of this ac tivity on the part of these men in' Ashland. The protest that they, are now making only serves to.' advertise thorn adversley, we, think. (Roseburg News-Review.) I'ltl'XS tO.M.MICNT i:i'()X ASIil,AXI HOItltOl! KII.I.INC; (Continued From Pnee One) law a"hd wan an aide and faithful 24-year-old polieemun of Ashland, OreKon. In u stolen iiutoniohile, a crook with n paut of thievery, banditry and crime came his way. ith keen inalKht the 24-year-old po lice hoy Ktupped him and asked for hiH driver's license. A ouick shot, and the police hoy fell on the runnint'hoard. Another shot from the crook's gun, and he fell prone on the Kiound. A third shot was driven by the heartless thus Into the prostrate body of the Ashland lad. Here Is a thus like the Chinese bandits. The boldness of his shots is Bfinslnnd's challenge to civiliza tion. It is an imitation of the gun man's shots in Chicago. The im munity with which Chicago gang land shoots, slays and murders is admired and copied by just such brutes as the ravening wolf now in the .Medford Jail. In spite of our wealth, in spite of our virility, in spite of our in dustrial and financial achieve ments, we are so far unable to fashion laws, operate courts anil administer Justice to hold back the criminals. Our bandits are a duplicate and their forays are on the way to approximation of the Chinese bandits. Our gangland is rapidly increasing Its power and extending Us barbaric operations. Tho Ashland police hoy is dead. Tho community saw him grow up into a useful, manly, widuiy be loved, law-enforcing citizen of 24. "The restraints of civilization were bending here today,1' says an Ashland news dlspntch, "as hundreds of nulet men became more and more Indignant over the heartless. cowardly murder of Samuel I'rescolt. 24-year-old Ash land policeman." The dispatch Udds: .Struck too deeply with grief for talk, there has been no outbreak of wrath among his friends, hut a deep current of anger permeates the entire city. It is a good time for the dead lads friends to highly resolve to work for changes in law and court practice and public administration that will heavily curtail gangland nnd lt exponents throughout the country. "The administration of our criminal law," said the late former President Taft, "Is a dis grace to our civilization. ' Tlie former president of the United Ktates in that statement of- fered the probable explanation of why 24-year-old Samuel l'reseott went down before n gangman's smoking gun. (Oregon Journal.) no ;..;sti:k m:i:i aimm.v ; The ugly terms, "gangster" and : "gang war." have been employed i ut late to describe certain Individ- uals and conditions here and there ill Oregon.
