TO HONOR KANSAS SOLDIERS
Grand Army Post Of Clay Center, Kan,
Starts. Movement to Build
Suitable Monument.


In Kansas, the state which furnished
so many soldiers in the Civil war, very
few monuments have been built, and
little has been done to leave memo
rails of the war and to serve as in
centives to patriotism among the
youth of the state. -
However, within recent weeks the
Grand Army post of Clay Center, Phil
Sheridan post, has started a move
ment to erect in the court house
square in Clay Center monument
to their comrades. and the work is
now well under way. 1t is planned to
spend about $4,000 or more on the
monument. The foundation already
has been put down and early in the
spring the monument will be built, the

1t is reported that the saloonmen.
or some OF them, are espousing a
candidate for mayor. But why should
they become so active? The saloon
question is not an issue in Pendleton
now. The question has been settled
and let it be hoped settled for long
dme to come. Pondleton is wet and
there is no effort on foot to make it
dry. Leading prohibtonists are will
ling to accept the result as it stands.
Why cannot the saloonmen also let
wen enough alone? Pendleton does
not need a saloon mayor nor an anti
saloon mayor What is needed is a
man who will strive to serve the city
as a whole and no particular class.

ANOTHER CRUSADE?

The fantastic report is out tina,
Italy will strive to retake tba 11o,,,
Land from the Turks. But wars are
now waged on different lines from
what they were in the days Of Rich
ard the Lion Hearted. In those davs
men fought for God and the ladies'
but really for the love Of fighting
Nowadays most wars are for purpos-
es of commercial expansion. If ITALY
tries to take Palestine it will be more
for the sake of trade than to recover
the holy supelchre. 1t would seem
though that the commerce of Jerusa-
lem and tributary territory would
scarcely be worth the cost Of the ru-
mored holy war.

HE STUNNED THE SUBJECT.

Now that President Taft has de-
parted from the state after having
been cordially entertained in Port
land the fact that stands out most
conspicuously is that in his addresses
to the people of Oregon he never made
reference to a subject that is of alb
scrbing interest here-the Oregon
system.
In this respect the president failed
L. show the frankness and candor
that have always been characteristic
OF his predecessor. 1t is a habit of
Col. Roosevelt to declare his eonvic-
tions when he talks in public no mat
ter where he may be. When he ran
for vice president he went to Den
yer and talked for the gold standard
though Colorado was the stronghold
Of free silver. He talked there as he
talked in New York
While here last spring the expires
ident also discussed the Oregon sys-
TEN. Most of our reformatory meas
ures appeal to him and he said so,
though he made some criticisms too.
When Governor woodrow Wilson
was here last spring he discussed the
Oregon system very freely. He had
warm praise for the initiative and
referendum, the direct primary and
other Oregon measures save the pro-
vision for the recall of the judiciary.
He criticised the recall Of the Judi
ciary and he criticised Oregon's long
ballot. Some liked what the visitor
ssid and some did not, but all learned
where he stood.
1t is regrettable that President Taft
did not express himself with reference
to direct legislation, the direct prin-
airy law. the corrupt practices act.
the presidential preference law and
other reforms that go to make Up the
+ Oregon system. Those things are of
nationwide interest and are Of more
pressing importance than the general
subject OF international peace. They
have to do with making our demo-
cracy effectiys-with maintaining
government in behalf Of all the peo-
pie rather than for the benefit Of GER
tain interests.
Is President Taft opposed to the
Oregon system or did he merely fan
in with bad advisors while in this
state. The fact is noticeable that the
assemblyites were much in evidence
during his stay. In private they may
have been even buster than they were
in public.
