CURRENT THINKING
RIGHT AND WRONG WAYS.

A suburban bank of Chicago has
two stories of recent happenings in
its neighborhood that point a moral.
The first is contained in letter
from a private detective. who wrote
to ask whether a certain shoemaker
had recently deposited a sum of mon
ey, and explained:
About Thursday of last week. Mrs.
H. took a shoe to this shoemaker
IN which she had hidden $3.50. made
up of one $50 bill and eleven $40 bills
She claims the money was in the shoe
at the time he received it, and he
claims he has never seen it and
knows nothing about it,"
The second story is made up of
10 year old girls essay entitled How
1 earn Sc a year, and how l want TO
get sl2." She wrote:
As long as l can remember I had
little bank with a handle on it.
where most Of the money that was
given to me went. I used to play
with my bank in suitcase, and some
times people would come in and they
would put a penny or so in.
Every once in a while the hank
would be taken away and come back
without anything in it; and I used to
wonder where all Of my money went
to. When l got older / was taken to
the bank and there saw the money
taken out, and then l learned of the
bank book.
About two years ago my father
told me that he would buy me a real
estate bond, because 1 had over 800
Last summer lost my watch and
pin off my dress and felt very bad
about 1t. 1t was nearly interest time
on my bond, and my father told me
II / put an ad in the paper he would
lend me money to pay ana might
get my watch back and pay him the
dollar on the interest day. / was glad
to do anything to get my dear little
watch and pin back.
"A man found my watch. saw the
ad. and got postal card to call and
get it.
Il am now waiting until I can get
another 500 so that can get s12 in
terest a year"
1t Is a wide gulf between those fam
lilies! II is a gulf that the bank is try
ing to bridge, that all banks should
try to close up.

RUNNING AWAY FROM
HOME

~ NE proof of the decline of
W the adventurous spirit in
this country is the fact
that nowadays when a boy of
IA or Is runs away from home
to make his fortune, his par
ents rush into the papers and
the police office to have him
tracked down and brought
back, says an eastern paper.
A generation ago it wasn't
done. The boy who didn't run
away at least once was thought
by other boys to have some
thing the matter with him. He
was probably a sissy. And
when a boy hit the pike, with
a bundle of clothes on his
shoulder that had been lowered
with dramatic ostentation from
an upstairs window to a chum
on the ground, his folks just
pretended they hadn't seen
anything, grinned and let him
60 for his first real lesson in
the serious business of making
a living. They knew he'd get
along all right-maybe goI
hungry a few times, lose some
Of his arrogant self-sufficiency, |
and just possibly gain a keener
appreciation of dads ability as
a provider and of mothers
skill in cooking; but he'd get
by. and come back home when
he'd had enough of it, dirty, |
sunburned, ragged and full of
amazing "reminiscences, but
perfectly satisfied with the
home way Of managing things.
We're not so sure the old
way.wasn't the better way. We
suspect our boys are being too
much sheltered and pampered

NO OCCASION FOR PREJU.
DICE

- OVAL Pendletonians one
Y and all may we'll join in
cOndemning any attempt
to arouse sectional prejudice
over the matter of the north
side cemetery park.
There is no excuse for trying
to arraign one part of the town
against another in this instance.
In the work it has been doing
the civic club has not been try
ing to favor any one part of the
city. The civic clup installed
the drinking fountains on Main
and Court streets. They are
for the benefit of everybody.
The civic club is directly re-
sponsible for the past and pres
ent Improvements at the O.-W.
+ R. & N. depot. Those improve
ments benefit everybody.
The civic club has improved
that triangle piece of ground
on East Court street and the
work is of benefit not only to
East Court street people but to
all who pass along that thor
oughfare.
The Roundup park is locat-
ed in the west end of town yet
it is not a west end affair. 1t
is of use to all the people. The
same thing is true or the nata-
torium which is being con-
structed in the park.
The north side cemetry park
will not be for the north side
people anymore than are these
other improvements for the
sole pleasure of the people liv-
ing nearby. 1t will be some
thing of which the entire city
will be proud.
Strictly upon its merits the
purchase of that lot adjoining
the cemetery tract is a worthy
proposition for the city. The
sum of $2500 which the city is
asked to pay is less than the
market price Of the land and
when it is considered that the
lot will complete the tract and
give the city title to almost two
blocks of desirable property
close to the center of town
there can be no legitimate cri-
ticism of the transaction.
The fact the opposition is
working along lines of section
al prejudice is in itself enough
to condemn their case. That is
not the way to work for the
greater Pendleton.

An Old Trick of King Craft

(From the San Francisco Examiner }
In July. 1914. Russia was at the
threshold Of domestic disturbance
and probable revolution which would
have overthrown the ruling bureau
cracy and the autocracy.
In the same month social democracy
under the efficient leadership of Jean
Jauares. was dangerously near to
abollshing French milltarlsm and
forced service.
At the same time social democracy
In Germany was showing an amaz-
ing strength and a more amazing
growth which bade fair to overthrow
German agFarianism and the military
caste.
And in the same month the British
government was face to face with i'm
civil war in Ireland-the Ul-
ster men in arms and threatening in
slant war II home rule were enforced
and the nationals under arms and
ready to assault the Ulster men III
they refused 10 submit TO home rule.
With the governments and aristo-
cracies Of Great Britain, France and
