JUDGE LOVETTS VIEW

nUDGE LOVETT, head Of
the Union Pacific system,
~ who was here yesterday,
expressed confidence in the
ability Of President Wilson,
his reference being TO the pres
ident's policies regarding both
foreign and domestic affairs.
lis finds the country entSusl-
astie In support of the man in
the White House,
All this from a man at the
head of one of the greatest in
dustrial enterprises in the ma
tiou-an enterprise vitality af-
fected by general business con-
ditionS throughout the country.
Yet we have standpat newspa-
pers and tory orators denounc-
ing the administration for al
legged incompetency and inter-
ference with the prosperity of
the nation.
1t is cheering to know that
the propaganda of pessimism
and misinformation is not en-
dorsed by men who are in po-
sition to know the real facts
and to Judge of them.
When men like Judge Lovett
have confidence in the work of
the administration the walls of
petty critics seems faint and

THE PEOPLE MAKE THE
TOWN

IN IKE Pendleton the city OF
y Spokane is facing an in.
teresting municipal elec.
ton and the Spokesman Re.
view rejoices over the fact a
fair start has been made
through obtaining a heavy reg
istration.
Calling attention to the ne
cessity for attention to busi-
ness on the part of the indi-
vidual voter the Review says
''The individual citizen and
the political unit-whethel
this be the nation, the state OF
the municipality-are linked
together. AS either rises OF
falls, so does the other. The
citizen is the political society
in the making and in minia-
ture, the state the organized
aggregate of all citizens ir
their political capacity. The
highest development of each
is had through the fullest de.
velopment of the other. Lei
the citizen decamp from full
filling his duty in public af
fairs; then the commonwealth
suffers. Let the state be inef
ficient or unprOgressive; ther
the citizen is hampered anc
handicapped in successful
prosecution of his individua
interests"
Those words are as true Of
Pendleton as of Spokane

THE BETTER WAY

m HERE is a better remedy
W for war conditions than
the one suggested by
Mrs. Glatch, suffrage leader,
who says women should be
trained to work in the indus
tries when the men go to war.
Why not attack the trouble
at its source by doing with
less warfare? The spectacle
of women doing the work of
men in factories and on the
farm while men are engaged
in slaughter is not pleasing.
II may be the correct style in
the old world but it is plainly
not a policy to gain headway
in this land of freedom.
From present appearances

even pretended to disbelieve
anything 80 preposterous as
that anti-treating laws are ac-
Itually in force in some few

only increased his wonder over
the impractical vagaries of this
soden, benighted country.
But in the British Isles them

have now been put in opera
alton on scale never before
