at this way the building of permanent roadway with
this annual fund instead of using it for temporary
patchwork here and yOn, seems like good business
There is no question about the legal right of the
commissioners to borrow money for such purpose on
such terms And there seems to be reason whv anv
citizen should object to it. The loan will be made
for specific purpose and presumably full accounting
will be available at any time The purpose is one that
meets with general approval
As soon as possible the road to Fort Bliss ought to

al folk are pointing out that the needs
Of the state call for over 1000 new
teachers each year, whereas the one
normal at Monmouth now turns out
only about one-tenth that number, At
the present time the majority Of
teachers in oregon are not normal
graduates. Eastern Oregon is under
particular handicap in this regard
! because of the great distance from this
part of the state to Monmouth. Many
eastern oregon students now attend
the Washington normals and so be-
| come lost to this state inasmuch as it
is a requirement OF the Washington
law that graduates Of Washington nor
mails teach in the state of Washington
| for a certain length of time follow
ing graduation.
In support Of Pendleton as loca-
tiOn for a normal the excellent geo.
graphical position or the town is
pointed out and also the fact that the
school attendance here Is sufficient to
provide an adequate number of pu-
pills for training purposes.
1t is the general belief Of those in
formed on the matter that a Pendle-
ton normal would be very successful
and soon have 4 very large enrolment,
The benefit to Pendleton and Umatilla

A FEATURE IN THE NATL
ONAL CAMPAIGN

~ \ the very nature of things
ID the appointment of Louis
D. BrandeiS to the SUI
preme bench will be more or
less of an issue in the coming
election. In the confirmation
Of Brandeis party lines were
closely drawn though real pro-
preSsive republicans like La
Toilette supported the appoint
ment. Therefore during the
coming campaign the demo-
Gratis will warmly commend the
selection of BrandeiS to the
bench while the old guard re-
Ipublicans will seek to make
capital against the president
upon this score.
Discussing the BrandeiS case
the Christian Science Monitor,
q publication that views poll
tics from a somewhat neutral
standpoint, had the following
to say:
He lBrandeis) has disturbed condi-
tons entirely satisfactory and com.
Portable in the estimation of the NOV
ing influences of the republican poll
tics. but entirely unsatisfactory and
disagreeable TO the mass of the demo-
cratic party. He has attacked the ira
ditional sacredness of vested rights, he
has attacked privilege, he has attack
ed methods in financial commercial
and industrial organization that inI
these recent years have been under
condemnation Of a school of thought
of which he is very able exponent
He has been a persistent and, in the
main, a successful opponent of COM
binations of capital, born of greed. de-
signed not to forward the common
interests of the people but to create
in the American republic almost un.
limited power for the advancement
of a class. Because he has taken views
and fought along lines that some peo-
pie. calling themselves republicans.
believe 10 be inexcusably radical and
almost revolutionary. that party
speaking in a general sense, has re-
fused him its confidence.
Opposition on purely economical or
political or social grounds is rather
to be invited than repelled, encour-
aged than condemned. The antago-
rism to Mr.. Brandeis has profited the
nation in that it has laid bare the
grounds upon which one great ele-
ment in politics bases its opposition
to the policies of another. 1t has
served to show. for the millionth
time, that when one undertakes to
champion any great reform he must
be prepared TO encounter the allied
and bitter opposition of all those en-
gagged in practices and enterprises in
need of reformation.
The outcome Of the presi-
dental election will show
