TAFT ADVISES THAT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The
acquiescence of Germany in this
country's contention for the rights Of
noncombatant citizens on commercial

patriotic American and the occasion

This must and should be the
cause Of profound rejoicing by every
patriotic American and the occasion

1T must relieve the strain between
the two countries. The shadow Of

1T should not, however, lead oul
people away from their duty Of rea'
sonable preparation. The incident
though closed, as We all hope, excepi
as TO the indemnity for the lives o.
those already drowned, shows how
near, as neutrals, We are to the war
II shows that we must be careful t
insist upon our rights as such ant
that we ought to be reasonably pre-
pared to defend against their inva
sion by any belligerent"
After outlining the naval and mill
tary preparations which he consid
, cred It necessary for this country t,
make, Mr.. Taft estimated that tn
preparations would cost indicate
how the money might be raised an

AN INTELLIGENT BANDIT

nUST what it may mean is
hard to say but it is a fact
~ that from the American
standpoint Villa has shown far
more sense than has Carranza.
His reply to the Pan-American
appeal for peace indicates
breadth and judgment despite
the fact he is classed as an ig-
norant bandit.
Though claiming his forces
are able to sustain their cause
by force of arms Villa took the
Pan-American offer in good
spirit, assuming the offer to be
friendly and for the sole ben
eft of Mexico.
Had Carranza shown the
same spirit toward the offer
peace would be at hand in the
war stricken country. A law

1T CAN'T BE DONE

N RESS comments thor.
- oughly endorse the &C.
ton of the Roundup
board in refusing to stage the
show in San Francisco or else
where outside of Pendleton.
The Portland Journal says
"The rejection by the direc-
tors of the Pendleton Roundup
association of the proposition
to stage the show at San Fran
cisco exposition is to be COM
mended.
ct discloses that the direc-
tors are animated by a spirit
other than that of commercial
ism, by a sentiment not to
cheaper the reputation of a
spectacle which preserves pc
culiarly the early life of PEN
dleton.
"To hold the Pendleton
Roundup at any other place
than Pendleton would be, to
borrow a much used express
ion, like playing Hamlet with
Hamlet left out.
ITO a spectacle there is
much more than the actors
who can be changed and trans
ported from place to place at
will. There must be the set
ting, the atmosphere. This
can not be shifted. 1t crowns
and blends with the perform.
ance just as the hair crowns
the human head and harmon
izes in color with the skin.
'The Roundup is the twi-
light reflection of the pioneer
life of Pendleton. Reproduced
in any other setting it would
be an unmeaning, artificial
play, without symbolism.
Divorced from the traditi-
ons and memories of the Una
tilla hills and prairies and
transferred to the alien shores
of the Pacific it would be but
a cheap and brutal sport.
1T would be Just as impOs-
sible to reproduce the Passion
Play outside of Oberammer-
gau, or the Mardi Gras outside
of New Orleans, or the Rose
Festival outside of Portland as
it would be to attempt to trans
port the epic poem of Pendle-
ton to the fog shrouded bay Of
San Francisco"
This morning the Oregonian
comments editorially as fol-
lows:
"The Pendleton Roundup
would have been out of place
at San Francisco. 1t is a pure
ly local affair. It's charm lies
as much in the environment as
in the riding and roping. The
sagebrush hills, the immense
horizon and the keen air Of
Eastern Oregon are all in the
show and the cowboy would
feel lost without them. The
Roundup is history made real
but change the surrounding
and it would become a sordiC
sham"

the Roundup for all time th'
surest way to 90 about it will
