June 14th will be observed by the
nation as Flag Day, it being the
139th anniversary of the birth of the
stars and stripes. June 14th is also
the 18th anniversary of the Heppner
flood, one of the saddest calamities
that has ever happened to ans com
munity. It would not be amiss to
hang the flags at half mas. in this city
to the memory of those citizens who
lost their lives at tha. time.

LANSING THE NEXT PRESIDENT

The next president of the United
States will be Robert Lansing of New
York, the present secretary of state.
This is not in the nature of wild
political prediction, nor is it the in
auguration of boom for democrat.
ic dark horse" 1t is merely the
statement of fact, which barring
the death or resignation of Secretary
Lansing, is as certain as anything can
be.
Mr.. Lansing's term of Office does
not depend upon the action Of any po-
litical convention; it is likewise ir-
respective of any primary or direct
election. In point of fact, it dates
back to 1886, when congress passed
an act providing that, in the event or
inability of both the president and
the vice-president of the United
States, the secretary of state shall act
as president.
March 4, 1917, will fall upon a
Sunday, and it is contrary to all pre-
although not in opposition
to any law--to hold an Inauguration
on Sunday. Therefore the incoming
chief executive will take the oath Of
Office and commence his term shortly
after noon on March 5. President
Wilson's term commenced at noon on
March 4, 1913; therefore, according
to the constitution, which defines the
term of President as -four years, +"
his tenure of office will be over at
noon on March 4 and, even if he is
elected to succeed himself, he cannot
take the oath of Office until noon on
the following day. Vice-President
Marshall, of course, is under the same
disability as the president. There
fore, the secretary of state, Mr.. Ian
sing, will be president of the United
States for twenty-four hours and
some minutes elapsing between noon
on Sunday, March A, and the time
that the new president takes the oath
of Office on the following day.
This brief term of Office is not a
mere formality. 1t Is an actual occu-
patton of the power of president, with
all his authorities and perogatives.
Mr.. Lansing-President Lansing for
the day-will be empowered to occu-
py the White House, to issue pardons,
to attend to all the other business of
which the chief executive has control,
and to ride to the capitol, should he
desire, as he outgoing president on
Inauguration day.
Moreover, this is the first time in
the history of the nation that secre-
tary Of state has had this honor be-
slowed upon him, and only the second

COMMUNICATION

Years ago there was a wagon road
from Morgan down Willow creek 10
Cecil and it did not ind its way over
high rocky points well nigh impass-
able. This was before the advent
of a railroad into this country. But
after the coming of the iron horse,
or in the preparation for its coming
it was necessary TO appropriate part
of the wagon road right of way. and
the railroad company were given per-
mission to take what they deemed
necessary, on the agreement however
that the company would build new
road as good as the old one.
But now, just before the railroad
reaches Morgan it runs under the
rim rock for distance. 1t crowded
out the wagon road, and now the
highway runs up over the rim rock.
We understand the railroad engineer
surveyed the wagon road to come
through the rim rock several humid
red yards northwest of where it does
now. His survey would have
brought the road down on an easy
grade to the old road bed that re-
mains there yet, but it would have
taken considerable labor and powder
to put it there. 1t was never done
and here are few of the SUPPOSE
tions why it was never done.
1st, Mr.. Contractor gets the con-
tract on the basis of the engineers
survey.
End, Mr.. Contractor goes and in
terviews the local supervisor and the
two agree that wagon road down
Willow creek is not any longer neces-
sary since the building of the rail-
road so that all they deem necessary
is to bring the wagon road around ON
top of the rim rock to point where
they can slide down without upset
ting. This was done and every one
who has come into the country since

trick to be put over An example
of the condition of this crevice in
the rocks, is an incident which hap
pened only recently when G. A. Minor
and party of two automobiles came
down on the road going to his ranch
at Cecil A lady was driving the
first car and managed to get up to the
roughest and steepest point in this
slide through the rim rock when the
car became stalled. 1t is not a
pleasant place for a man to have
car stall to say nothing of a woman.
Now what | want to know is, will
the county court take the matter in
hand and order the road opened on
the old survey or must we travel
this trail always?

COSTA RIGA

The first attempt to colonize Cen tral America was made by Christopher Columbus, who, on his fourth and last voyage, sailed along the coast of Mi caraguaF and Costa Rica and landed on the coast of the latter country on Oc- tobdk 5. 1902. The anniversary will be commemorated to-day by the peo- ple of Costa Rica, the most progress sive of the Central American states who annually celebrate October 5th, as "Columbus Day." The aborigines were at first disposed to be friendly toward the Spaniards, but the cruelty and treachery of the latter soon aroused their animosity, and the small settle ment founded by Columbus was wiped out. After losing one of his ships and a considerable number of his men. Co lumbus gave up the attempt and sailed back to Spain The Indians of Costa Rica maintained an effectual' resist ance to the whites for many years and several colonies were destroyed Badajoz succeeded in 1540 in partially subduing the warlike natives. In 156f Coronado established Spanish rule over practically the whole country, which was then called Neuva Cartago.

to gain and much to lose in the pres- ent conflict. But she is ready, not Wlthstanding, to aid England to the full extent of her resources, because the treaties in force compel her to do so and because her people believe firmly that international good faith, as evidenced by the fulfi1lment of treaty obligations, which is the prin- ciple for which Great Britain is fight ing, provides the only basis on which intercourse between civilized nations can securely stand.
 Portugal is not prepared to sub- scribe to the doctrine engendered by militarism that good faith must be made subservent to expediency, and that the interests of one nation may legitimately be fostered at the ex- pense of the rights of others when ever backed by sufficient force. It is moreover. impossible to gainsay, after considering fmpartially all the pub lished evidence, that the British gov ernment labored devotedly-nay, even passionately-to avert the war. Ir these circumstances, Portugal could not refuse her aid to her ancient ally and she is ready to stand or fall by the principles for which the British Empire is fighting"

WARTIME JOURNALISM

Although the scarcity of paper has
 forced a reduction in the size Of near
 ly all European newspapers, those or
 the Central Empires have necessarily
 suffered most. Hundreds of German
 and Austrian publications have died Tn
 the last two years, and the circulation
 of the survivors has shown no great
 gain, The thrifty Teutons make one CODY of a paper serve for many Tn France. where the people have never
 been accustomed to sheets anythlng
 like as large as those of England ana
 America, the size of the daily papers
 has been reduced until now some or
 them print only two small pages, and
 the largest have but four small pages. Tn England the reduction in size has not been marked, and the circulation has boomed. Paris has at least two pap with a circulation of over a million. but they have now been sur passed by the London Daily Mirror, which is said to have an average daily circulation of 1,30O,000. The Daily Mail. the popular paper owned by Lord Northcrffe, also has circulation well above the million mark. The Daily News and the Daily Sketch, morning papers, and the Evening News, each sell over three-quarters or a milton copies daily, and the Daily Chronicle and Daily Express, morning and the Evening Star are all over the half-million mark. All Of these are popular half-penny papers. The pen nv (two cent) journals have not gain ed largely in circulation as a result of the war. The Times, Lord North cliffe's paper for the "upper classes" has a daily circulation of about. 2OO,- 900. and the Daily Telegraph is slight ly below that figure. The other penny | papers, including the Morning Post, Globe, Evening Standard, Westmins- ter Gazette and Pall Mall Gazette, have gained little. Such weeklies as Sun day Pictorial and News of the World sell over 100000.

SAVING DAYLIGHT DIDN'T SAVE
Brooklyn EagIe)

For Q wear or two a saving day. light scheme has been urged in this country. The plan was simply to put clocks forward an hour, so that people should get up and get to work an hour earlier and close their shops an hour earlier in the afternoon.
 Because of the pressure for manu- facture of munitions both England and Germany put that plan in force last, spring, and both of them have found that it does not work we'll and have abandoned it. Beginning this Sunday, clocks in both countries will be set back to their normal time.
 That is precisely the outcome which might have been expected. Working hours in any country fix themselves for the general convenience. In the days of candles and whale-oil lamps farmers got up at dawn and did their work by daylight because there was no other way to do 1t. In the long sum- mer days they do the same thing now, because it is pleasanter to work in the cool of the morning than in the mid- de of the day. In tropical cities shops are closed for a midday siesta because that is the comfortable way to live in their climate. With us market men, milkmen and summer commuters get up at dawn because the conditions of their employment require 1t. Other people sleep later because they can and because the established business hours have been found most conven- lent.
 If there were really any advantage in opening the, banks and tho schools at o'clock instead of at it would be easy to do it without changing the time of the clocks. Changing the clock was only a fussy invention of machinery to get something done which would have been done without the device if it had been worth doing at all. The plan may have worked in the summer, when it is easy to get up early, but now that the shorter days have come both governments have dropped it. Let us hope that we have heard the last of saving daylight"

The Portuguese Republic

In celebrating today the sixth anni- yersary of that sudden and almost bloodless revolution by which King Manuel II. was deposed and a repub-
 lie established, the Portuguese de-
 mocracy can facilitate itself upon hav- ing triumphed over many obstacles and conouered many difficulties. Ever
 since the revolution the paid and vol
 unteer press agents of the Portuguese
 royalists have sought to create the i'm npression abroad that the republic
 has failed and is doomed to speedy
 dissolution. By cleverly worded arti-,
 cles, sent out to the press of Europe
 and America, these hirelings of the
 scribbling trade have tried to bring
 the republic into disrepute. The off,
 cials of the new government have
 been pictured as mercenaries and des-
 pots, intent only upon the exercise of
 tyrannical power and the feathering
 of their own nests. Some of these
 stories have had "a foundation of fact, for the Portuguese republic is purely human institution, and doubtless unworthy persons have crept into power. On the whole, however, .Por- tugal has no reason to be ashamed of its record as a republic.
 Portugaps decision to take an active part in the war affords an example of disinterestedness not at all common. Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy and Rumania all joined in the conflict because of 1.-the hope of realizing their national as- pirations. In a material way Portugal l has nothing to gain, and much to lose l if Germany should triumph In Spain the German agents have busily circu- lated the report that the Allies have | promised Portugal two of Spain's rich
 est provinces as a reward for her aid, but this absurdity is not taken ser iously by anybody except the ignorant
 and credulous section of the Spanish population,
 Portugal entered the list of com
 batants because of treaty obligations,
 although sympathy for the cause of republican France and her friend of many centuries, Great Britain, was doubtless a factor. Then, too, there | was the remembrance of Portugars s
 past glories, when she was the mis- tress of the seas and the first of the great maritime powers of the modern world. The Portuguese position has been we'll set forth by one Of the republics statemen, Viscount de Ate:
 Portugal is drawn into the war as result of her 1ong-standing alliance with England-an alliance that has vithstood unbroken the strain of more than 500 years. Like Belgium, Portugal desires nothing that belongs Ito any other nation. She has nothing
