wALaowA couNTY OPINION.

walIowa county people do not take
kindly TO Pendieton's normal school
ambitions. The sentiment there is
epItomized in the following editorial
from recent issue OF the Enterprise
Record chieftain:
aTheIr (Pendleton's) argument -
that the Oregon school law requires
that, in couple OF years. all teachers
must have normal training. and that
Eastern Oregon ought to have one
normal school. Hence they argue that
Pendlet0n might as well have It. The
difficulty In this is that the state some
years ago erected $4,000 normal
school at Weston, and then abandoned
II. Good business would seem to In
dicate that, II the state ~ to have
more normal schools II should use
the buildings into which the people
already have put their money. To let
the Weston building decay, and build
another normal few miles away.
looks like deliberately throwing away
SIS, 900. Two years ago the people
voted down proposition TO reopen
the normal schools az Ashland and
Weston. Perhaps they acted unwiseiy
in this. but they cannot correct this
mistake by making another"

Elsewhere the Union Pacific prints
a message 20 the public in The Weston
Leader. It's q far cry from the time
when one OF the vanderbilts made the
famous remark 20 an inquisitive re-
porter: THE public be damned!" Now
a-days the great railroads seek 70 take
the public into their confidence and
earn its sympathy and favor. Speak
ing Of the Union Pacific. We believe
that this splendid pioneer system is
entitled to hearing by reason o. ~
triumphant achievement In linking
the western empire with the older
states at time when railroad build
ing was o hazardous experiment We
are willing to agree with It that rs
a very good railroad. In fact. we do
not know what Oregon would do with

A public plea for preparedness has
been made by Captain Lee M. Clark,
who has opened permanent recruiting
offices In La Grande. He has asked
The Leader to help in giving publicity
to his message. Bombarded IN every
mail with requests for space this pa
per usually turns them down. II Is
prompted TO make an exception IN

clark's appeal may be Of interest 10

lows;
"AiI young, able bodied men who

The wheat market this season pre-
sents singular features. No effect y
felt from such strong bearish factors
as the probable strike tie-up Of all the
big carriers and an immediate and
threatening car shortage. The mar
ket marches right along to higher
levels. influenced largely by Europe's
food necessities and the crop shortage
in the United States and Canada. Well
may the farmer pause. and wonder
what TO do. Although able 70 sell at
a fat figure. he ID human. and hates

may go higher. We are frank enough

There are many who hold a fore

whose true strength is only known
when serious existence with its
weights and responsibilities comes
