On behalf of the board of trustees
I send to you and through you to the
officers, teachers and students Of the
Tuskegee Institute our warmest SYM
pathy in the death of the schools
great founder, Booker T. Warrington.
In his death the country has lost
great patriot and the Negro race an
inspiring leader. It is now the hour
to- show without his magnetic pres
ence, by your loyalty to the school
and to his high ideals how truly you
have caught the inspiration of his
spirit and of his devoted life of SER
vice. The trustees will not fail you
in your hour of need and we count
confidently on your loyal co-opera-
ton in keeping Tuskegee worthy
memorial of the great man with
whom you have worked so long and
so we'll. Please see that this telegram

who have followed in his footsteps
and have done his work. We thank
thee for thy servant whom thou has
called home, for his life Of faith. That
he endured as seeing him who is in
visible. That like thy servants of old
who chose to share ill treatment with
the people Of God rather than enjoy
the pleasures of sin for a season.
That he counted the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the treas
ures of Egypt. That he looked unto
the recompense of the reward. We
thank thee for the life Of love that he
lived, that no man, white or black, or
north or south, could drag him down
so low as to make him hate him. And
that he taught men everywhere to
love one another. That he preached
the gospel of peace and good will.
We thank thee for his life Of meek
ness, that his life was one of humil-
ity; that he did not think Of himself
more highly than he ought to think.
And we thank thee for the inherit
ance that was his because of his
meekness. We thank thee that he did
inherit the earth. For his loving
friends, for his devoted co-workers
and pupils, for this great school. We
thank thee for his life of service;
that he made blind eyes to see; that
he, like his Master, made lame men
to walk; that he, too, brought liberty
to the captives. We thank thee for
the thousands of better homes and
farms that he made possible. We
thank thee for the better schools and
churches; we thank thee for the thou
sands of purer and better lives which
he helped to create. And now we
ask thy blessing on thy handmaiden
to whom thou hast sent this great
affliction. We thank thee that thou
hast given to her these years Of SER
vice with him. We pray for thy
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1915-12-17

blessings upon the sons and the
laughter and the grandchildren. We
cray thee for the officers and CO.
workers in this great institution, and
for the pupils of the school, and for
the thousands who have gone out
from this place who today mourn the
loss of a father and a friend. And
now we dedicate ourselves anew to
the work to which thy servant gave
his life. Help us to realize the high
and holy calling that was his and is
ours. Help us that we may carry on

er for good to them that love God.
We thank thee today for Christ our
Master. That though he was in the
form of God, he humbled himself and
took upon him the form Of a servant
and was made obedient until death,
even the death on the Cross. We
thank thee for his life of service, that
he went about doing good; that he
healed the sick, that he gave sight to
the blind, that he made the lame to
walk. And we thank thee for all the
saints who from their labors rest,

Great Moral Lesson at Empress

Who teaches the little curly haired baby to lisp her first prayer? Her pure and noble mother. Who guides, guards. watches and protects her from all lurking evils and danger. as she would her own life? Her mother. As she blossoms IS the rose, into pure young womanhood. who is it that teaches her the true meaning of life and points out the many dangers, thickly dotted along Iife's pathway, as it passes through a sin cursed world? Does her mother teach her this, or does she in her blind love for her daughter think her super human, and wait until one of Satan's silver -tongued agents, taking advantage of her innocence, easily turns her into the downward path. The Blindness of Virtue. the great moral lesson is shown for the last time at the Empress tonight.

CHANGES IN TRAFFIC LAWS
ARE SEEN TO Be NECESSARY
COMMERCIAL CLUB APPOINTS
COMMITTEE TO CONFER
WITH CITY COUNCIL

The Commercial association last
evening discussed several matters
pertaining to the growth, develop
ment and improvement Of Pendleton.
Recognizing that the increase in au-
tomobile traffic on the streets
makes some changes in the traffic
regulations desirable, committee
was appointed 10 confer with the
council II was decided to ask the
county court TO make hard surface
road from the city limits to the Wild
Horse cut, II was voted to get behind
the first attempt to put on a horse
and mule show and measures for the
beautiflcation Of the city were
brought up.
DR.. l. u. Temple asked the associa-
ton TO consider changes in the traf-
fic regulations. His proposal was
that autos. instead Of being required
10 turn at street intersections. should
be made TO turn Just inside the
block. He contended that, inasmuch
as pedestrians habitually cross at In
tersectlons It is wrong TO require au-
tomobiles approaching from four d.

A GOOD WAY OUT

~ HE official announce
VI ment of Germany's will
lingness to modify her
submarine policy to conform
to the demands of the United
States government is followed
by concessions from the British
government in the enforce
ment of the orders in council
against American commerce.
The full extent of these con-
cessions in terms of trade has
not yet been made clear, but
it is evident that the British
government is amenable to
reason and argument, and that
it has no desire to weaken its
friendly relations with the
United States by a strict ad-
herence to a blockade whose
illegality requires no demon
stration.
Diplomacy is still a potent
influence in a world given ovei
to war and devastation when
such results can be accomp-
lished by the simple process of
patient and steadfast negoti-
alton. From the lingo point of

the hands of the conference.
AT about the same time we
hear of a quiet campaign be-
ing made to secure the positi-
on for Lair Thompson, a rail-
road attorney and defender of
the railroads in the courts and
in the legislature. The con-
ference having to decide
whether S40,00O,O0o worth of
land shall be used for the pub
lie or for benefit of the South
ern Pacific, Mr.. Thompson is
doubtless we'll qualified to act
as chairman-from a railroad
point of view.
Next we hear that the rules
committee has decided that
no speaker shall be recognized
except those invited to speak
and that no questions shall be
asked these speakers, The
public may well wonder why
these extraordinary precau-
tions.
The following from the
Journal is to the point:
What threat of disorder what fear
of interruption of "a program rem
ders 1t necessary to thus gag the con-
ference in advance? Is there any in
dication that Georgia mob is going
to invade the chamber. interrupt the
proceedings and terrorize the dele
gates?
A presiding officer always has the
power to recognize or not recognize
speakers. He is always backed by or
dinary rules of procedure to safely
and intelligently guide deliberations
What need, then, in a conference
considering the peoples rights to 40
million dollars worth of oregon lands
to prohibit a chairman by hard and
fast rules from recognizing any but
set speakers and to prohibit dele
gates from asking even one question
until the programmed speakers have
concluded? Why not also station a
detachment of armed national guards
in the corridors to enforce supreme
upon the delegates during the
set program?
The evident attempt of the
manipulators to arrange an air
tight, bomb proof, steam roller
affair instead of an open pub.
lie conference on the subject
of the land grant is enough to
arouse deep suspicion. When
plans are laid with such care
and precision there is an OBJ
ject in view.

conference before that con-
ference convenes. This morn

the East Oregonian along with

If the conference becomes

suit will be due to the peculiar

will be within their rights to
lift an inquiring eyebrow over
