COUNTY ENGINEER Is NEEDED.

IL may be regarded as automatic that
to progress one must move forward.
He that stands still Is not progressing,
even though he still stands. Should he
step forward. and then step backward
an equal distance, he Is yet but few
degrees removed from the sphere Of
inactivity Of the cold and silent clam.
We commend these sapient observa-
tons to the attention Of Commissioner
Waterman, who Is credited with a de-
sire TO return to the old system Of road
and bridge work in umatilla county,
He is presumably an estimable gentle
man and a good farmer. who knows
how to handle an Hernniston alfalfa
field, but one would hesitate somewhat
before employing him to pull tooth
or to excise an appendix. BY the same
token Umatilla county should hesitate
before employing Commissioner Wat
erman or Judge Marsh or Commissioner
Cockburn TO build roads and make
bridges. Their function is the business
management Of the county, not the
personal direction Of departments re-
quiring special class Of knowledge.
A captain of industry leaves the act
ual manufacture Of steel rails to
skilled subordinates, and the command
ing general does not personally train
and fire his howitzers.
We presume that Umatilla county
spends somewhere in the neighborhood
Of 500, 600 annually on it's roads and
bridges. We would not consider two
percent Of this amount an e4,travagant
sum to spend for the services Of a COM
petent engineer to plan and direct the
work. II Engineer Martin is not in all
respects satisfactory. he is certainly |
not the only member OF his profession
in the United States. We would pre-
fer a graduate engineers supervision
of road and bridge work to that of any
member of the county board Commis-
sioner Waterman not excepted.
The LEADER for one is inclined to
avoid any possibility of resurrecting
dubious system. whereby one favored
plans. builds and supervises
all of the county's bridges. Having
entire confidence in the integrity Of
the present county board, we would
refrain from subjecting it
to temptation.

UNCLE SAINTS PARLoUs PosrTIoH.

| Mr.. Murphy's cartoon reproduced by
the LEADER this week from The Ore
gon Journal portrays with greater
strength, that column editorial the
delicate situation Of Uncle Sam. A
slight fitting of the pole in either direc.
tion would plunge him into the vortex
of war.
Just now the danger of trouble with
Germany is the more alarming, and the
outcome depends largely upon the dis.
erection Of the captains of German sub
marines. These are busy destroying
English merchant vessels, three OF
which were lately torpedoed within "a
hours. Neutral ships which enter the
comprehensive naval war zone declared
by Germany, enveIoping the British
isles, are likewise in danger, and a
Norwegian ship has in fact been tor
pedoed. Should an American ship suf-
fer similar fate under aggravating
circumstances, an acute crisis would
undoubtedly develop.
Because of its unpreparedness and
its polyglot population, involving racial
complications at home, war on behalf
of either side would be fraugbt with
serious consequences for this republic.
From the standpoint of national inter-
est, however, a union with the allies
and against Germany would perhaps
be the lesser of two evils. With her
snrface feet bottled up and only her
submarines in action Germany would
be without the means to injure US pos
sessed by the allies, at least three of
which are each stronger in naval power
than the United States. Yet such a
step would ALLEVIATE our numerous and
worthy German American citizens,
few of whom could overcome the blood
ties of the FatherIand. 1t might even
occasion internecine strife.
In the not impossible event that
England is the first to offer US a deadly
and inexcusable affront, rendering war
against her and her allies unavoidable,
our peril would be extreme. We would
face on the one coast the overwhelm-
ng naval power of France and Britain,
m the other the wsrships of an eager
md exultant Japan. Our commerce
would be imperiled, our great seacoast
titles might become the prey of our

earlier in the day were more or less up

issues yielding more than their gains and
closing with net losses. But for the in
