Our people are frequently and soundly berated in cer
tain newspapers of the state for lack of enterprise in the
matter of road-building and yet the Pan-American con
vention of road-builders, held in Oakland, California, last
week, admitted that Oregon, Washington and California
led the states of the Union in the matter of road construe-j
tion. The truth is that paving companies and bond buyers i
are back of most of this noise m favor of blanket road
bond issues, and it would be well for the people who pay
the taxes to keep on their guard against extravagant ex
penditures. We all want good roads but we only want
them if we can afford to pay for them as we go along.

CARRANZA AND THE MEXICAN PROBLEM
If General Carranza can handle the Mexican situation
himself, let him do it, is the advice of the Walla Walla
Bulletin.
There has never been a time during the Mexican reign
of terror when this nation would not gladly have upheld
Carranza s hands if we could have been sure that he had
the requisite power, that he meant to carry out the legiti
mate purposes of the revolution, and that he would treat
the United States and other foreign governments with the
proper consideration. Nearly all Carranza's troubles have
heen caused by his own arrogance and unreasonableness.
He shows signs now of common sense and discretion.
His reply to the invitation that he join in the conference
with representatives of the United States ami Latin
American powers to consider the restoration of peace in
Mexico has been dignified and courteous. At least he
recognizes the "sincerity and noble desires" of the govern
ments making the proposal. He is still opposed to any
show of "foreign intervention" which has not been sug
gested by the American powers and is willing to confer
on matters of international interest. He proposes a con
ference somewhere in his own territory, and maintains
that there can be no question now of his richt to speak
lor Mexico, because he controls the greater part of the
national domain."
How well Carranza controls it is open to serious question-
Anarchy still is reported in many sections, and cer
tainly northern Mexico is far from peaceful in spite of
Villa's defeats.
Nevertheless, Carranza today wields more power ap
parently than all the other rebel chiefs together. And if
lie really can sudbue the remaining malcontents and con
duct himself as the head of a responsible government, by
all means let our government recognize him as soon as the
necessary assurances have been given. It would be a
tremendous load oil' our national mind at this vexing time'

In what does heroism consist ?
Is it necessarily dying in battle or hazarding one's life
in some spectacular service ?
Not at all.
Earth's truest heroes are garbed in workmen's jeans,
policemen's and firemen's uniforms and this above all
the simple dress of womanhood in the home.
They are heroes who do their duty, though the world
may not watch or applaud. They are heroes who keep
i mummy at their tasks, though the tasks may not be L-f
significant. They are heroes who give honestly the best j
service they have, though it be but to hew wood or draw1
