ators had occasion to revert to
the tolls discussion although the
question was not up for debate.
One senator said: 1.-The question
of tolls at the canal is a serious
one, to be considered on its own
merits. Insinuations about some
mysterious and sinister railroad
influence will not obscure the real
issue. Has the time come whe'
we have got to permit Breat Brit
ain or Japan or any other foreign
country to dictate to us what
shall be our domestic policy in
regard to charging tolls for the
use of canals that we build with
our own money upon our OWN ter

CANAL TOLLS
Discussed From a Breckenridge
View Point,

Breckenridge, Mimi, Mch. 3-ii.
Editor Times:
During the past few weeks the
question of free tolls to American
ships entering the Panama Canal
has been discussed to some en-
tent throughout the United States
We have looked i'm vain for an
editorial in some of our weekly
papers in hopes that some of the
editors would read up little ON
the subject and present sensible
and patriotic point i'm favor of
the United States.
If anything was said at all it
was at the horrible thought of
the U. S. violating its treaty OBJ
legations, etc. 1t seems that the
U. S. should use every honorable
means to secure the best advan-
tage from the great outlay in
building the canal and should see
to it that the canal zone be Am
erican in character and under
full control Of the United States
and that this great enterprise
should accrue to the benefit of the
United States.

LET the PARCEL POST ALONE

Senator BriStOW OF Kansas
seems to possess ravenous ap-
petite for peanut politics. His
latest outburst, which is against
the administration of the parcel
post system, will add nothing to
his reputation for craftsmanship.
The people are highly satisfied
with the conduct of the parcel
post under Postmaster General
Burleson and they will be empha-
tically averse to turning over the
functions of his department to the
Senate. They have a keen recol-
lection of how effectively the cx-
press trust worked for years thru
the Senate to prevent the estab-
fishing of a parcel post, and they
also have a faint suspicion that
the things near-statesmen of the
Bristow type would do to parcels
post if they got a chance would
not improve it's efficiency to any
marked degree.

PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR.
(Buffalo Express }

1t is quite true that preparations
for the war did not prevent war. il
may even be true that the elaborate
preparations which Germany has car
ried on for many years put into the
hands of the kaiser the temptation
which brought about his war.
But it ought to be remembered, al
SO that Belgium's preparation was
what enabled that little country to
make a defense Of her rights and per-
haps of her life as a nation. II the
men who beat back the Germans at
Liege had been merely unframed cit
izens. who had caught up arms after
the danger burst upon them. the ar
gument against preparation for war
would be good. But Belgium has en-
forced a system of universal conscrip-
ton the same as Germany and 1t had
d trained army ready when the in
vaders appeared, just as all the other
countries of Europe kept trained ar
mics in readiness.
1t may come about that the con-
clusion of the war will find the ma
tions ready to enter into common
agreement to limit their armaments,
release themselves from the crushing
expense of constant preparedness to

II is fit that Pendleton should have

settle their future quarrels in par
lament OF man. But so long as one
power remains which keeps up the
present system of militarism, other
nations which wish to maintain their
places in the world must be prepar-
ed 10 fight. It must be a case of
common preparation or common lack
Of preparation.
The idea that nations can intrust
their defense to treaties and promis-
es. conscious justice, inoffensiyeness
or the fairness OF others is the one
thing that has been most completely
shattered by this war. Where now
are all the treaties that were pre-
serving peace and international JUS
tice in Europe three weeks ago?
Where. particularly, are the treaties
that were to preserve the neutrality
OF Belgium and Luxembourg? The
great lesson of this war which ought
t. come home to all Americans Is that
against force the only defense Is
counter force and that modern wars
come about too suddenly to admit OF
preparation after they have begun,
All this may be changed when the
present cataclysm is ended. We will
hope so, but until II Is ended prudence
requires that this country be some
what better prepared to meet the un-
! expected and the impossible. which
we have just seen happen to all the
rest OF the world

clear eye and the stout heart-who
knows the desert and the plain. The
man who rides for cattle and does
his duty as he finds it. in the sun
shine or in the storm. The typical
cowboy is and always has been a
manly fellow, in muscle and in soul.
He gets that from first hand dealing
with nature under the open sky. Ac-
cordingly the cowboy is a character
worth commemorating through
means of statue. He is a character
in whom the world will never lose in
terest.
There is no place where cowboy
statue could be more appropriate
than in Pendleton. This place has
become the cowboy capital of the
world.
The Furlong lecture will start the
ball a-rolling. Mr.. Furlong's offer is
a generous one and he is earnest in
the move as is shown by the fact
he is to give his time and energy
without any personal reward.
Every real Pendletonian and every
friend Of the cowboy statue should
have a seat for the Furlong lecture.

announced that there will be no peace

There are other indications too that

France quite naturally will want to

upon that country. Russia has prom

Needless to say the Germans are not
