there were very few leading citizens"
who wanted a gravity water system.
Most all big property owners and
some very influential concerns were
against the move.
There were times in the long fight
for gravity water when the struggle
was brisk and the issue was in doubt
At various times the East Oregonian
and its editor were subjected to abuse
and misrepresentation from those who
fought the gravity system. At times
those attacks were vicious.
But that is all over now. The grav-
ity system is in use. We have an
abundant supply and good pressure.
II is proving a valuable asset to Pen
dleton. Above all the quality of the
water is improved. Pendleton has
not had a typhoid case since the day
the new system went into service.
There is less intestinal trouble, partic-
ularly among the children. There
will be fewer saddened homes in Pen
dleton and little graves will be less
numerous at Olney cemetery because
Of the new water supply.
1t is ample consolation and reward
for the fight that was made.

peror williams fighting machine has
been working well and has been too
much for the combined French and
English forces. One could easily
guess that the final victory will rest
with Germany
Yet such a guess at this time might
prove very erroneous. The war has
been underway but a short time. At
the outset Germany was better pre-
pared for action than were the al
lies. That may account In part for
the German successes though OF course
German valor and energy is not to be
discounted
What the next few months Will de-
yelop remains TO be seen. 1t may be
expected the allies will fight long and
hard before admitting defeat. Other
wise they would have TO face Ger
man domination OF Europe and its
consequences. A fact that increases
the prospect Of long war Is that
the resources OF the allies surpass
those OF the Germans. They can place
more men in the field and they Will
have a better food supply because Of
larger territory and control Of the sea

THE SITUATION CALLS
FOR ABLE LEADER
Greenv1e Paper Urges Oconee's Senator to Take Up
Battle for Right Against the Forces of Evil
in South Carolina.
OFrom the Greenville PiedmontD

South Carolina, the State Is doomed.
We have become accustomed TO
look upon one who harps upon this
subject as a fanatic or a theorist.
This is a mistake. We have sat idly
by and seen conditions grow from
bad to worse and they are growing
still worse. Unless something is done
to check wickedness in South Caro-
lima it is hard to tell what will be-
come OF us. We are known now as
the most illterate State in the Union,
and it seems that we are destined to
become known as the most immoral.
Is there not in the Legislature a
man who will take up this fight 20
redeem South Carolina from degraC a.
ton? Is there not in the whole Cen
eral Assembly man who. is blg
enough and brave enough to lead the
fight for laws that will stamp out
gambling and blind tigers, however
drastic it may be necessary to, make
these laws? Is there not a man in
the Legislature big enough and brave
enough to lead the fight for laws that
will drive horse racing forever from
the State?
If there is, and he is a Senator. let
him make his debut in leading the
fight in the Senate for the enactment
Of the Sanders bill, which will help
to rid the State of one of it's great
