AS a result Of meeting of north
side property owners with the street
committee of the city council and the
mayor last evening. It was decided
that a remonsrance would be put in
% check the present plans for improv-
ing North Main, Wilson, Madison,
Blame and Matlock streets and that
instead the one district would be di-
vided into three districts so that each
could carry out its own plans without
regard to the other.
1t was proposed to throw North
Main to Wilson and Wilson from Main
to jefferson into one district, Madi-
son street from Jackson to Wilson in
to another and the balance Of Wilson
street to Blaine and Blaine and Mat
lock into a third.
Such sentiment as was expressed for
the improvement of North Main ia

n OMMENTING upon the
" perennial nature Of
Roosevelts candidacy for
president Of the United States,
the st. Louis Post Dispatch
makes the following very per-
tinent observations:
To pretend that special rea-
sons demand his nomination
for the presidency in some par
ticular year is the most distinc.
tive and familiar Of the colon
els campaign methods. The
only years when such special
reasons do not exist are years
when no general election is
held.
Suppose for a moment that
his contention that industrial
reasons made his nomination
necessary in 1912 had been ac-
cepted and he bad won. He
would now be the occupant Of
the White House instead Of
Mr.. Wilson. The great strug-
gle in Europe would have bro
ken out under his administra-
ton.

cavation and II was felt that property
owners living on streets where there
would be only dirt excavation should
not have to assist in paying for the
solid rock work, w. L. Brock, Nes-
mith Ankeny and Lot Liyermore were
appointed to take up the plans for the
Main street district
5. e. Roosevelt and E. A. schiller
were named to make plans for the

street is already graded and the gem
eral opinion seems to be that the ma
iority Of property owners wanted 1t
paved.
No committee was named for the
.hird proposed district However,
grades have already been established
on these streets ana It is probable
that the streets will either be grad
ed or paved.
The great majority Of those present
last evening did not favor the i'm
provement as provided by the plans
and specifications.

THE ROSE QUEEN

NAA HILE it has no particu-
D lar significance in the
upbuilding of the city,
the fact that a Pendleton maid
and a Pendleton man are this
week presiding over Portland's
annual Rose Festival, by vir-
tue of having won the honor in
fair and open competition with
the rest of the state, is a matter
Of no small pride to the average
Pendletonian.
The election of Queen Muri-
ell is not the greatest of Pen
dleton's civic achievements by
any means but it is one not
without its value. 1t demon
strates again to the state and
northwest that Pendleton is a
live, wide-awake, "go-get- EN-"
city that is forever starting
something and never starting
anything that it cannot finish
with credit. It furnishes more
of the abundant proof that the
home of the Roundup has a
right to boast the title "The
biggest city of it's size in the
world" 1t gives Pendleton
more prominent advertising
and incidentally attracts no lit
tie attention to the forthcoming
Roundup.
Moreover, Portland cannot
but appreciate Pendleton's
sending of a queen and king
and hundreds of people to her
festival, and must feel that this
city recognizes the splendid
support and patronage given
by Portland to the Roundup
ever since its inception. Queen
Muriel on the rose throne will
strengthen the tie between the
metropolis of Oregon and the
metropolis Of eastern Oregon
and therefore, her honor will
not be a barren one.
Long live the queen.

Had he plunged this country
also into the war, would he
now be suggesting somebody
else as his successor in the
presidential chair? Of course
not. His third term thinly
disguised as a second elective
term" would be in process OF
being succeeded by a fourth
term. He would at this mo-
ment be demanding reelection
because Of the risk of swap
ping horses in crossing the
stream.
And in the improbable con-
tingency that he had so guided
the country as to keep it out Of
the war, he would be Just as
vociferous in clamoring that his
efforts for peace should be rec
cgnized with a fourth term and
plausibly arguing that he
should be continued in office
until the European peril had
passed. With success in 1916
he would invent other reasons
just as potent for giving him a
fifth term in 1920, should he
survive his fourth, and so ma
nipulate the federal patronage
as to make it we'll night impos-
sible to Gust him.
1t is too soon yet to appreci-
ate fully the harm to America
and to American traditions that
was averted when Mr.. Roose-
yelt was prOvidentially defeat
ed in 1912. Studying that de-
feat in the light Of subsequent
events, we can see that his can
didacy four years ago brought
very near to US the menace Of !
