A MOTHERS THRUST.

On a crowded suburban car a mid
die aged woman. carrying a fretful
baby. was forced t. squeeze herself
into a small space left vacant beside
a fastidious youth OF possibly 20
years. The vaclous expression upon
his face was succeeded by look OF
disgust when his eyes fell upon the
baby. which now and then touched
MIN with foot or hsnd. Finally, he
turned to the woman and inquired:
BEG. pardon. madam, but has this
child anything-er-con
whereupon the woman gave him
compassionate looF. and remarked in
kindly tone:
"well, young man. I don't know
but that II might be to you-it's teeth

win have the approval OF all sound
minded citizens regardless OF parti-
sanship.
Mr.. Waterman should forget IT,
The people Of this eoun,y elected him
as commissioner-not
Keep a Road as road engineer. The
Engineer. old policy OF handling
road work to which he
wishes TO turn back is obsolete. That
policy was in vogue during the term
Of Mr.. waterman's predecessor and
it was one OF the things that caused
the predecessor 10 be retired from
office.
No economy could be worked by
going back TO the old policy because
the commissioners would draw more
pay than the county engineer is draw
ing. The county would lose the ser
vices OF a professional engineer and
a county with the important work this
county has TO do each year cannot af-
ford to operate on a hit or miss basis
with the work supervised by men who
are in office not because Of engineer
ing ability but because OF political
prowess or good fortune.
The East oregonian does not pre-
tend TO be any wiser than any one
else on this subject But it does not
take much brain work TO see that
when a county spends as much money
for roads and bridges as does this
county II can afford to pay something
for a man who is trained in the bus
iness and whose knowledge OF what
should be done is greater than the
knowledge OF the ordinary man.
II this is not true then the men
who erect big buildings make a mis-
take by getting architects 10 draw
their plans and supervise the work.
Railroad companies and other con-
Germs that do construction work
biunder in having expert engineers to.
guide them as TO what to do.
This county should continue the
county engineer system and not go
back to the old policy. II the present
engineer is not satisfactory get an
other man. There are plenty Of men
available.
By all means Umatilla county
should celebrate the opening Of the
Cello canal and while We are at 1t
do the thing right. It will be an event
worth taking notice Of.

'NS~NNN.eNNNNN

When the public utilities bill was
up in the senate yesterday big busl-
ness measured its
Pate Of strength and proved
The Public to be in safe control.
Utilities Bill. The bill IL adopted
would have given two
or more communities or rural districts
the right 10 establish and operate
power plants or other utilities on the
same basis towns may now maintain
such plants. It was an obviously reas-
enable proposal. In the view Of the
East Oregonian a mistake was made
in specifying that such plants should
be under control Of the railroad COM
mission. There was no necessity for
that requirement yet that defect was
Of small consequence compared with
the great merits OF the bill.
The bill did not make publicly own
ed utilities compulsory on any COM
munity or rural section. but merely
authorized people TO band together
and establish such utilities when they
wish 10 do 30 and believe such a course
would be beneficial II would merely
have permitted people 10 attend to
their own business and make use Of
their own property.
The decree Of the state senate given
yesterday morning Is to the effect this
cannot be done The field is reserved

No surprise which the present war

the same moral -acuum into which
the Roman empire fell. After eigh-

THINKS WILSON
STRONGER Than
DEMOCRATS ARE
Senator Salisbury Has No
Doubt at all of Re- election
of President Next Year

That President Wilson may be a
bit stronger than his party" is conced-
ed by Senator Willard Salisbury Of
Delaware, who is certain of Wilson's
reelection, according to an interview
gwen to the japan Advertiser last
month.
Senator Salisbury came to Hawaii
with the congressional party last May,
and then went on to the Orient. where
he spent two months. He passed
through Honolulu on August 10 on the
Mongolia, bound for the mainland.
The interview given out just before
he left Japan. says, in part:
Mr. Wilson is as sure to be reflect
ed as | am to reach San Francisco"
he said "In his handling of the stu
alton between the United States and
Germany he has the confidence and
the support of the whole nation behind
him.
while am sure OF the Presidents
reelection, also think It possible that
he is a bit stronger than has party.
However, the Democrats are gaining
strength in the senate; at the opening
OF the last Congress they had ma
jority of one, and when the next ses-
sion opens their majority will be 49,"
Senator Saulsbury's trip in the Far
East has been confined to China and
Japan. As a member of the senate
committee on the Philippines, he had
wished to visit the islands, but he
found the summer heat Of the Orient
too much for him and had to omit that
part Of the tour. During his two
months in the East he has had talks
with some of the leaders OF both China
and Japan.
Saw President Yuan.
In China he called on President
Yuan, and they chatted about the re-
lations of the two republics. From
this interview he carried away the inn
preston that Yuan Shih-Kai is a man
Of great abilities. He and the Presi-
dent of China talked about the new
ties between the United States ana
China since the latter has become q
republic.
While in Japan Senator Salisbury
has called on both Count Okuma, the
premier, and Baron Kato, the minister
Of foreign affairs. He speaks in high
est terms of japan and the Japanese,
and sees nothing but friendship in the
future relations of the two countries.
He is optimistic about the results Of
the Seaman's Act as concerns Ameri-
can shipping in the Pacific and the
renewal of the treaties between the
United States and the 20 countries,
whose present treaties are partially
in conflict with the provisions of the
Seaman's Act. When questioned on
the situation that would be created in
the Pacific when the new law went
into effect, he answered, "the worst
troubles that we have are those that
never happier"
