ABOUT THAT
ELSEWHERE in this iBstio' is f showing as to what is thought generally
about tho proposition to bond the county for $850,000 for the purpose
of building romls. That tho roads of the county are not good as a
gonoral thing, nouo of thorn deny. Yet thoro was a general feeling
that until something definito as to plans and where and how tho money
would be spent was known, tho parties Interviewed did not euro to express
an opinion.' Out of two hundred or mora asked about tho mattor more than
half sni ttey did not care to venturo an opinion until bettor informed as
to wha was to be dono with the money, that is, whero it was to bo spent
and what roads wore to bo improved first.
Another impression that seemed to bo pretty gonoral was that tho en
tire sum, or at least tho larger part of it was to bo used iu building what
is spoken of as tho "Pacific Highway."
It would bo woll for thoso having tlio matter in charge to give it full
publicity, to lay before tho voters tho whole project, and niako it possible to
discuss it intelligently.
The Capital Journal confesses it has not had insido information on tho
subject sufficient to warrant taking any Bido in tho mattor bo far. It
realizes just as thoroughly as anyone tho necossity for good roads. Tho
question is, "Is tho plan proposed tho best onef" Until tlio plans of those
behind the matter are better known, it is impossible to fonn any opinion
as to that. j
It is a very important mattor and the Journal columns aro open to give
it tho fullest publicity. If the committee in cliargo will send us the state
ment of just what is proposed it will bo given space gladly, and then tho
voters will bo in position to act intelligently upon it.
The citiscons of Marion county are progrosslvo and are far from being
tight wads, but they aro not buying a pig in a poko, and so want to under
stand just whut thoy are doing, and why they aro doing it.
A PEREGRINATING.
THE OREOONIAN, unwittingly porhaps has givon the Willamette valley
and especially Salem a hard blow in printing tho drivel of its special
correspondent, with tho double-barrelled handle to his namo, David Swing
Ricker. This young gentleman aocompauied by his wife ia walking from
Portland to San Diego, for tie ostensible purpose of tolling tho truth
about the road conditions along the proposed Pacific Highway. Ho is not do
ing it. Ho know nothing about tho stato whon he started, but by tho time
ho reached Oregon City ho hail its history down pat, and whon ho reachod
Salem he know all about tho road conditions all ovor tho Btato, how much
the roads had deteriorated in tho past ten years, and glibly tells the Oregon
ian's readers that out of 18,000,000 Snt in that timo, $17,000,000 wero
thrown awn and wasted. Ho tolls said readers that tho roads aro worso now
than ten years ago and he tells them other things nut ono of the whole lot of
which is true, with the possible exception of liis statement that tho tonds aro
luid. As a matter of fact ho knows absolutely nothing of tho gonoral condi
tions of tho valley roads.
Ho started from Portland in ono of tho worst storms that has visited tho
const in years, Tho whole valley was flooded, and in many places, as ho
stated, ho had to wade on tho public roads, which, by tho way is another truth
ho told. Tho storm was so severe that the Oregon Electric at Tunlitan was
for several hundred yards submerged, and traffic suspended. Everywhere rivers
were out of their banks and every creek was a rearing torrent. The streams
could not carry off the tremendous rainfall 1111, 1 in places the valley w:is littlo
belter Hum a lake. Then and under such conditions, this 11, nil Richer hits the
rends, taluvs photographs of these high water conditions and tho Oregouion
reproduces them to the valley's hurt, for tho simple reason that its readers
not hero In Oregon, know nuthing of tho extraordinary conditions, nud are
gravely told by this correspondent whom Uio Orogontyin glvo credence by
printing his stuff and tho pictures accompanying it, that these conditions that
ho describes aro tho usual thing and that his article describes the valley's
roads as they are. Ho takes a photograph of a high water scene, showing
the water over tho road and under this picture ! tho statement, "Average
condition of read entering Salem."
lie says: "I splashed Into Snlem thhreugh ankle-deep mud." Again ho
saym "1 niiido liberal allowance for the ralu, which at no time has been heavy
enough to hamper passage 011 foot over a properly built rend," Yet at this
time he knew that tho water would have been over any road built In some
of the lower lands, and that the Oregon Klectrlc was at tho timo he was writ
ing in places under six feet of flood waters.
Then ho tries to lay tho matter on Engineer Howlby 'a shoulders as tho
source of his information. We suggest that tho Oregonlnn could get Mr.
Howlby ' idea at first hand and not as a matter of hearsay from an Irrespon
sible and uniformed hobo, tramping through the country for so much a tiny
and caring nothing about the subject on which ho wrote, other than to have It
spectacular ami catchy enough to i-nnit him to hold his job, and draw his
salary.
The roads In tho Willamette valley are not as good as they should bo but
they are Imiueasunibly better than ten years ago, or five years ago, and aro
being made better each ynar.
Another thing In this connection is the alleged statements of Engineer
Howlby. The head cf every department in the state thinks his is the most Im
portant ono. It is right they should, for they must think their work Import
ant to do It well, The school superintendent thinks educational matters far
more Important than any other of the state's affairs. The Corporation do
istrtment think, that is about tho nic: Important, and tho Reform School,
the Insane Asylum and all the other managers think theirs Is tho one thing 011
which tho fato of the slflte depends..
For this reason tho Ideas of any of those superintendents as to Improve,
ments, are generally far ahead of tho Sato's abilitv to carrv out. This is
tnm of Mr. Howlby, and it is true of tl.e head of every other do-artmont.
For this reason, too, Mr. llswlby's pessimistic view, as to the r,v.d buildiim

of tho past need to be taken with a little salt to make them palatable. We
do not believe that gentleman ever said that all but one million dollars ex
pended ou the roads in the last ten years were worse than wasted. We do
not believe it( because it is not a fact. The gentleman who put these words
in his mouth is simply out for the dough. He ib writing stories for so much
per, 'and he is making those stories as catchy as he can. He is doing this at
the expense of the Willamette valley, and the Oregonian is thoughtlessly, per
has, assisting him in giving the valley a black eye. Mr. Ricker says:
"Bowiby is a dreamer." That is possibly another truth we forgot to credit
Mr. Ricker with.
As for Mr. Ricker and his stories about the valley roads, well, the name
given him by those who know the conditions, who live hero, and who have
read his statements, is not "a dreamer."

SAYS WOMAN SHOULD BE
GIVEN PROPER PLACE NOW
They Are Inclined to Believe That It
Means Legislation Favorable
To Their Claims.
BY HENRY WOOD.
(Rome Correspondent of the United
Press.)
Romo, Jan. 13. Italian feminists
are in the rather paradoxical position
of having just won a victory for their
movoinent without yet knowing just
what the victory is. While the latter
uncertainty isn't preventing them in
the least from celebrating their ac
complishments, they franlily admit
that they would like to know what it's
about. King Victor Emanuel in his
speech from the throne at the opening
of the present parliament, for the first
timo in the history of Italy advocated
legislation in favor of the women of
Italy.
"Legislation must bo begun at this
Italy: His precise words were these:
session for the rovision of the Civil
Code in order to give to woman the
position that belongs to her in the fam
ily." If this had been a mere cam
paign or political promise it might well
have been pascd over lightly. But
coming from the throne, in a speech
prepared by Premier Giolitti himself,
for the king to read, it means in Italy
that something is really going to be
done for tho women. But unfortunate
ly, it is right there that the trouble
arises. What is it that's going to be
done!
Must Grant Some Reforms.
Those who havo made a microscopi
cal analysis of the king's words have
as yet been unable to get any inkling
as to what it is that either he or Gio
litti have up their sleeves for them.
That thero is something there, however,
thoro can bo no doubt for the womon
succeeeded in the recent elections in
creating for themselves a "bloc" in
parliament which renders it absolutely
nocossary that tho king and Premier
Giolitti come across with some of the
reforms which they demand.
Tho Socinlist party being the only
ono that declared itself in favor of
women's suffrage and other laws fav-
orinir women, the Italian feminists
during the recent parliamentary elec
tions threw their entire force in favor
of tho socialist candidates. They
worked night and ilay for them and
tho socialists frankly admit that the
increase of their number in parliament
from 2 to. SO was In no small measure
duo to tho efforts of tho women. This
Incronso in turn also forced King Man
nel to give tho socialists representation
In the Bcnato and he created for tho
first time in the history of a European
parliament threo socinlist senators who
hold their positions for lifo.
An Effective Pill.
While tho women aro not flattering
' inMiitW that this was a very agree
able pill which they prepared for the
king and Premier Giolitti, they are
figuring thnt it is a very effective ono.
Premier Giolitti is dependent on the
socinlist votes for his majority in the
Chamber and legislation in favor of

women, which was demanded by the
latter from the socialists will there
fore be forthcoming, it is known, from
Giolitti.
On tho part of tho women, they are
naturally losing no time in inaugurat
ing a propaganda for tho various
tilings they want. The demand for
suffrage, of coirso, is one of tho most
insistent of these, but it is hardly con
sidered likely that Giolitti will concede
this for the present.
As a matter of fact tho number of
women in Italy demanding suffrage,
whilo coming almost without exception
from tho more aristocratic classes, ia
nevertheless very limited, and Premier
Giolitti is expected to ennct some
other reform thnt will meot with more
general approbation from the women
ns a whole. This in all probability
will be, as the king suggested, a change
in the civil code, which will give wo
mon the right of contract. This is
something that a married woman in
Italy does not enjoy. No contract of
any kind can bo signed by her without
her husband's consent. Even the
siuning of a check for, her own money
must bo approved by him, and it is
the removal of this barrier that Gio
litti is now believed to have up his
sleevo in fulfillment of tho promise
of tho king from the throne,
Wondor Who Will Succeeod.

as a pope dies, th-5 Cardinal Camer
lengo hurries to tho Vatican and en
tering the death chamber beats with a.
silver hammer three times on the fore
head of the dead pope, calling out his
Christian name each time. If there
is no response the pope is doclarej
dead and tho Cardinal Camcrlougo at
onco takes up his residence in the Vat
ienn with the full power and authority
of a pontiff.
It is because of the power which tho
Cardinal Camerlengo thus enjoys and
which ho might use to bring about his
own election as successor of the doaJ
pontiff that has made it a tradition
of tho sacred college that the Cardinal
Camorlengo must never succeed directly
to the Holy See. For this reason, it
has been a custom of popes for cen
turies past when there was some car
dinal whom they did not wnnt to suc
ceed them to name him Cardinal Cam
erlenge. A conscientious man should back up
the good opinion he has of himself.
