THE LYNC111xG OF BAKER.

The lynching Of George ". Baker
by a mol at Steele Thursday night is
a disgrace to the tatc. Lynch law
is abhorrent to everyone except the
frenzied participants who place them
selves in the same position as law
breakers as theh victim. Both he

There can be no pretense that an
abnormal delay of the courts in bring

such act. The mob became a frenzied
band of wild beasts. dragging their
victim through the streets by a rope
about his neck to the scene Of his
execution. %fguratively rending him
as a pack Of jackals would rend their

TIL: SLAVIC

There now appears An explanation
"f the remarkable overturn Of the
Turks by the Balkan states that is
simple in its facts, but is keen in it's
interest. 1t is now just outside twenty
lays since tho official declaration of
the war. In that time the Balkans
have been crossed, the Turkish armies
defeated. Albania, Macedonia and
Tiarace overrun and the allies are be-
,ieging Constantinople. Adrianople

20 Paris in 1870 rivals in celebrity of
movement or magnitude of results.
The explanation of this lies first in
complete preparation and entire Sc
crecy. From the time when four years
9 Austria coolly extended her SOW
ereignty over two provinces of Ser
Wan nationality in violation Of the
treaty OF Berlin the Balkan states
seem to have perceived that their
hopes for the future, perhaps even
their preservation from being swal-
lowed up by greater powers. lay in
the Past. With the exception of Mon
tenegro. their military reputation was
poor. But all went to work to train
themselves to scientific war. This
preparation kept III until the proper
ju%ncture arrived. they struck with
such force and rapidly as to astonish
the world nearly as much a sit stun.
ned the wholly unprepared Turks.
Equally remarkable is the way in
which this kept a secret. Europe
knew nothing Of the earnest. steady
prosecution Of the training. The Bal
kan league was not heard Of till the
states composing It laid their ulti-
mata before the porte. The yearly
tables continued to show small and
presumably ill.trained armies. When
It was announced just at the opening

1t was received with in%credulity-
which was freely expressed In these
columns. The devoted Turks share
that lack Of knowledge more than
any other. They were taken totally
unawares.
The consequence Is that the region
bounded by the Danube. the Black
sea. the Aegean and Adriatic is held
by a confederation nearly Italy's equal
in military strength. No single one
Of the greater powers seems anxious
to attack it.. especially as such a step
would bring on the adverse action of
other powers. 1t seem likely that
the confederation will be left to deal
with Turkey as 1t chooses. which
rumor indicates will be the retirement

A contract has been let by the city
council of Pendleton, to pave West
Court street with bitulithic.
The work will begin at once so that
it will be finished before the Roundup,
that visitors to the big Pendleton
show can ride over the finest pave
ment in the world.
Pendleton has been trying bitulithic
pavement on some other streets Of the
city and it has proven so satisfactory in
every particular that the award of this
contract in favor of the bitulithic peo-
pie is only natural.
The citizens of Pendleton express
universal satisfaction with the action Of
the city officials in their apparent de-
cision to adopt bitulithic permanently
as the standard pavement for the
Roundup City. 29'
