London, Feb. 13. The constitution
of the League of Nations received in
dorsement of the London morning

''The draft goes deeper into the
causes of war and will do more for
their removal than any one expected,"
declared the Times. ' 'It is the most
important international document ever
published."
''It is the greatest scheme ever forg
ed for the maintenance of peace,' m
the opinion of the News.

achieve a great ideal."
"We are hopeful that the constitu

the conclusions to which the allies are
coming," the Chronicle said.
"If the league does not give an ef
fectual means for preventing war, it
at least" gives what wo hope and trust
will bo a solid alliance of the five
great powers, which is no mean achieve
ment in the cause of peace," said the
Post.
''It is pregnant with, good for the
peace and prosperity of the world," de
clared the Express. ' 'Its modifiod form
indicates that President Wilson has
learned a good deal since he came to

New York Papers Divided.
New York, Feb. 15. New York pa
ers were divided today regarding the
.League of Nations.
'Unconstitutional and unworkable"
the Sun stated editorially, adding that
the plan "involved the surrendor of that
which to the American heart is dearer
mnd more desirable even than world
peace, namely Our unimpaired national
sovereignty, complete independence of
' uper-governmeut of any sort, freedom
of initiative in all matters affecting
inational interests and our right to con
ider America first."
"The most profoundly serious politic
al document of the century, marking a
new stage in political and social pre
press of mankind," declared the
World. ''It is a colossal experiment, but
one that is in harmony with the tra
ditions of free government and with all
the traditions of human liberty."

The River
Need For Market Highway To
Connect AH Incorporated
lowns, Stated.
"Paved roads from every incorpor
ated town in the county" was the slo
gan that brought hundreds of good
reads boosters from every part of the
county t0 tho court house this after
noon. Other Slogans that haa eniunat-
ic approval was "Let Marion couuty
rave, ana "vo it jnow."
The meeting called by the Salem
Commercial club for a discussion of the
building of lateral roads ill Marion couu
ty was culled to order at 2 o'clock this
afternoon by Theodore Both. He stat-
d briefly the noeds of market roads
that should connect every incorporated
town in the county ami that it was
up to the county to provide some means
of raisins funds for the buildinir of
tnese lateral roads.
State Treasurer Kay in an address
said that now was the time to start
on county road3 as the sentiment every
where was most emphatic for road build
ing. While the state was bonding for
general highways, Mr. Kay said these
would riot be of any great benefit o
the farmer living off the highways un
less ho had good roads connecting. The
only way for the county to have a com
plete system of lateral or market roads
wa9 for the county to issue bonds, Mr.
Kay said, connecting? all parts of the
county with the great highways.
Judge Bushey called atention o the
fact that while $250,000 had been spent
the past year on county roads, they
were in pretty bad shape and in fact
hardly as good as they were one year
ago, on account of the heavy traffic. Ho
stated he was in favor of some plan
for the building of le-teral roads, espe
cially as the groat highways built by
the state reached such a gnuui in u pur
tion of the farmers. What the, county
needed, the Judge said, ws market
roads to give the farmer an opportuni
ty to bring his product to town at sny
time of the year.
To build lateral roads to connect with
the highways, the construction of tt
least 80 miles of road will be iteeuanui
in the county. Delegates from all parts
of the county expressed themselves in
favor of good roads and by many the
opinion was expressed that the best way
to have good roads and not delay mat
ters was to call for an election bond
ing the county for $1,000,000 or what
ever amount wsg found to be necessary.
Delegates were present from Mt; An
gel, Scots Mills, Monitor, West Wood
burn, St. Paul, Silverion, Macleay, Btn
ton, Aumsville, Sublimity, .Turner and
Marion. The universal sentiment was
let Marion county pave and d0 it
now."
It is estimated that COO road boost
ers from out of town were in attend
ance, ' .
Bill Providing Depositing Of
School Funds Passes Senate
Senator Lachmund and Senator 1a
Folletto took opposite sides of the fene
on the question of passing senate bill
79, which provides that all school funds
in counties of less than. 100,000 popu
lation shell be deposited with and dis
bursed, through the county treasurer.
Senator Lachmund opposed the bill and.
Senator LaFollett favored it. The bill
was passed.
Senator Lachmund opposed the bill
on the grounds that it would work a
hardship on the school districts in dis
tant parts of the county, ar Horn the
county seat, and aho on the grounds
that is would rdd expense to the coun
ties when they ran out of funds and
warrants were not paid for lack of
funds.
He said he was informed the banks
would not take up these warrants at
face value.
This led Senator Shanks to reply that
any bank that would shave school war
rants was not fit to let live in any com
munity. Sentor Pierce and Senatof Wood
spoke against the bill, while Senators
Hurley, Bitncr, Jones, Hanaiey and
Baldwin joined those who spoke for tho
bill.
Senator Bell, the author of the bill,
declared that the measure would save
the school districts of Lane county ovor
$4000 a year.
Ways And Means Allow Mr.
CrawfordVClaim Of ?800
Robert Crawford, whom the governor
kicked out of the management of the
flux industry of the state, mostly be
cause ho was doing the work too well
anil mckinir money for the state, was
allowed his claim of $800 at the session
of the ways and means committee last
night.
It will be remembered timt traw
ford was put in control of the flex in
dustry of the state at a salary of $200
a month, with the provision that if ho
made the flax proposition a success, he
wrs to receive a bonus of $50 a month.
After managing the industry for 18
months and making for the state more
than $20,000, according to the testimony
nf Secretary of State Oleott, ne gov
ernor played politics against the advice
of those mostly interested in tue iiax
industry and fired Mr. Crawford.
Having made a success of the flax
business, Mr. Crawford claimed his bo
nus of $50 c month for the 16 months.
The governor offered to compromise for
$400. Knowins his claim to be a just
one, Mr. Crawford refused to compro
mise. The testimony before the ways
and means committee all showed that
Mr. Crawford was entitled to his bonus
snd he got it.

By a vote of 11 to 19, the senate yes
terday afternoon rejected senate bill
115 which provided for health inspec
tion of the pupils in the public schools.
ihe cniex attack against the bill was
msde by Senators Dimick and Thomas
on the grounds that it raised a religious
issue with tho Christ in Science adher
ents, who objected to such regulations
being forced upon their children.
Tho senate committee o medicine,
pharmacy and dontistry made a majori
ty report, signed by Senators Diniiok,
LaFollett and Huston, was against the

Beplying to Senator Dimick 's attack
on the bill from the standpoint that
was objectionable to tho follower
Christian Science, Senator Eddy point
ed out that Christian Scientists woar
glasses and they patronize dentists, and
that it is not right to deny to little
children the right to have dofecty of
the eyes, teeth or other parts of the
body corrocted in the public schools if
they are not provided for in tne nume.

ed, the majority report was adopted

dint there was both a surprise and a
shock awaiting the ehicf when ha
gathered in his man. Ho had gciio on
the assumption that he was a typical
bad check artist, operating for reven
ue; but he discovered that ho had bag
ged one of the most pitiable cases of
drug enslavement that evrr came to
his afteut'ioii. He had dodged from
oho drug store to another with hia
plausible torie and his bogus checks
for the sole purpose of obtaining sup
plies of cocaine and morphine. Ho wa
found to be so saturated with drugs
that he was taking from six to eight
grains a day enough to kill any ordi
nary man i
Jlis method was to enter a druB
store, mako some purchase, give a
check made out by some other person.
i.aicr no wouia return anu inaRe a pro
