What the
Triangle
Program Is

The Triangle Program is directed by
the three greatest artists in picturedom,
D. w. Griffith, the $4,000 Ga year di-
rector, who produced 'HThe Birth of a
Nation''; Thomas H. Ince, another
100000 year director, who created
such sensational triumphs as The
Tvphoon," in which real volcano in
eruption was used, and "An Alien" and
Mack Sennett. whose Keystone COM
edies and "Tillie's Punctured Ro-
nance have made the whole world
laugh-all three directors, the masters
each of dramatic, spectacular and COM
edy, backed by the wealth Of a million
dollar company and cast Of stars
never equaled before compose our new
program-The Triangle.

It has remained for the Liberty, which
has from its opening set the standard Of
film excellence, to achieve this mo-

THE VERY MAN THEY NEED

ia UERTA'S arrival in the
VI United States should be
g a source of great joy to
our tories. He is exactly the
sort of man they need to re-
vive their faltering zeal and
set forth the mistakes of the
administration regarding Mex
leo.
1t was Huerta's treachery to
the constitutional government
of Mexico and his connivance
in the murder of President Ma
dero that brought on the blood
shed and turmoil of the last
two years. 1t was Huerta's in
science toward the United
States that caused our fleet to
take Vera Cruz at the sacrifice
of some good American lives.
Who is more fitted than he
to point out the folly of our
president in upholding the
cherished Lincoln doctrine
about a government of the peo-
pie, for the people, by the peO-
pie. How appropriate he
should be here on the anniver-
sary of Lincoln's death. Who
is more fitted than this drunk
en- butcher to rebuke the Amer
lean people for placing in the
white house a man of ideals
who keeps ever before him a
vision of justice and fair play
for the people Of a nation as
we'll as for its privileged class
es. Who so we'll as Huerta can
point out our presidents weak
ness in standing for human
rights when predatory pluto
cracy does not want him to dc
so? Who knows so well as he
what a blunder it is to aid a
plundered people when II
would be easier to sit with those
who would destroy their rights
and freedom?
Huerta's arrival is timely.
Our tories need a leader badly
Here is their logical chief and
spokesman. Let them give him
the grand salaam and hearken
| to his counsel.

ed. Working together each
section can get results. Work
ing at cross purposes no COM
munity can get anything.
1t will be impossible Of
course to devise any good roads
plan that will entirely please
everybody. 1t will be impos-
sible to draft any good roads
scheme that will be absolutely
equitable to every individual.
The best way to proceed is
through a thoroughly repre-
sentative organization such as
the Umatilla County Good
Roads Association formed here
a week ago and which organi-
zation selected by ballot an ex-
ecutive committee which is in.
structed to prepare a detailed
plan of action making use of
the county bonding law.
The executive committee is
composed of practical farmers
and businessmen from differ
ent portions of the county.
That committee was chosen in
a fair and open manner and
without thought of faVoritism
towards any particular pro-
iect. The committee will meet
here tomorrow to start upon its
important work. Give it your
support and confidence.

worth money to the city to i'm.

work attracts new people to
the city and it means better

satisfied citizen is an asset and
a loyal, enthusiastic citizenship
is the best asset any town can
have.

A BETTER SUMMER TOWN.

M VERY step towards max
" ing summer life more
pleasant in Pendleton is
distinctly in the right direc-
ton.
Such a step was taken when
the council voted to cooperate
with the civic club in the mat
ter of park maintenance.
The natatorium is a big step
towards improving Pendleton
as a summer town. 1t will be
one of our best municipal in
stitutions.
When we passed from the
use of the old street sweeper
to the policy of flushing the
streets to clean them it was a
stride forward.
Every effort towards a clean
and sanitary city improves
Pendleton as a place for peo-
pie to live in during the sum-
mer months.
Public band concerts during
the summer months are always
appreciated and there should
never be a season without
them.
The drinking fountains on
the streets are a particular
blessing during the warm sea-

SEES SALVATION
IN FARM SCHOOL

The salvation Of the country and
the future happiness Of our people is
the farm school. says Elnalhan Tart.
of Lauderdale.
Instead of having 80 many profess
sional lawyers, doctors, and book
keepers, let's have school that will
produce professional farmers. And
when we get the country full of pro-
fessional farmers our lands will bloou
and blossom like rose.
If the young people of this country
would attend a farm school or become
Bachelors of Agriculture there
wouldn't be so many thousand of them
jobhun ting. With good understand
ing of agriculture there is not a ton
acre tract of land anywhere in this
county cultivated scientifically but
that would make a living"
