PENDLETON'S REPUTATION
AN ASSET

m HERE are accurate re-
W ports from all over the
state to the effect the
petitions for the Pendleton
normal school are being re-
ceived with friendliness.
There is news to the effect it is
generally admitted eastern
Oregon is entitled to some
means of normal instruction
and that Pendleton is general
ly regarded as the logical To-
cation for the school,
Pendleton is a popular town
in the state of Oregon and
there is reason for that senti-
ment. 1t is based partly on
knowledge of the city's sup
erb geographical position,
partly on the fact Pendleton is
known as a live, aggressive,
growing little city. We ac-
quired that reputation to a
large extent through the
Roundup and our good re-
pute was further extended dur
ing the rose festival.
Many thousands of people
from over the state have been
in Pendleton in recent years.
They have observed things
that pleased them. They have
taken notice of our splendid
water system, our good streets
and parks, our fine school
buildings, our successful indus
tries, the numerous new homes
under construction and the
general air of prosperity and
civic pride is noticeable to Wis
itorS.
Pendleton is going to win the
fight for the normal school and
the victory will be due in con-
measure to the city's |
reputation-a standing that
may be truthfully ascribed to
the energetic, courageous spir- !
it often shown by our people
when community matters are
at stake.

FORCING A WAR UPON US

n HE cowardly attack on
W the American troops al
Carrizal and the frank
avowal of responsibility for
that affair by the Carranza
government leaves no course
open to the United States eX-
cepting the settlement of the
issue by force of arms.
The Pershing expedition is
in Mexico for a legitimate and
worthy purpose. 1t was sent
to avenge, the raid on Columbus
and other border towns by
breaking up or capturing the
Villa bands. 1t was work that
should have been done by the
de facto government. But
Carranza was unable or unwil-
ling to act so the use Of Ameri-
can troopers became impera-
tive.
In Mexico the American SOL
diery has been working in be-
half Of the de facto govern
ment, not against it. Our men
have been there to help re-
store order and protect lives
and property. But they have
had little cooperation from
the Carranzistas and finally
they have been told they can
move neither to the south, east
or west, without being attack
ed by soldiers Of the de facto
government. That order was
a direct slap in the fact of the
United States but the fight at
Carrizal shows it is to be en-
forced nevertheless. In other
words the MeXicans are forcing
war upon US.
Why the de factor govern
ment should take such an in
sane course is open to conjec-
ture. There are reasons for
believing the interventionists
and cientificos have done much
TO ball up" the Mexican man.
agement of affairs. Then there
are reports of German intri-
que TO the same effect. All
these influences together with
the fact Carranza is not much
more than a committee chair
man-with little real power of
his own-seem to account for
the situation.
AT any rate watchful wait
ing is at an end. After three
years Of earnest effort to solve
the Mexican problem peaceful
means have failed and a re-
course to arms is not only JUS
titled but is made obligatory
upon us.

FOR PRINCIPLE OR FOR
PELF?
N CCORDING to reports
~ from Washington the ad-
ministration's plan for
AIz-so &c ,,or

II from Washington the ad-
ministration's plan for
entering Mexico, if war
must come, will be practically
the same as was announced re.
garding Cuba at the outset of
the Spanish war. 1t will be to
declare by resolution of con-
gress that this country is not
seeking to take territory from
Mexico but to restore order and
government in that troubled
land. It will mean an Ameri-
can prOtectorate, rather than
the annexation of a part or the
whole of Mexico.
Such an attitude would be in
keeping with our best traditi-
ons and also in accordance with
common sense. Such a policy
would be broad and falr-mak-
ing our record clear before the
world. Should we enter upon
a war to gain new territory
by the way we do not
need-this country would be
lowered to the plane of Euro
pean governments. We would
be in the role of a pirate nation
NOT the good Samaritan.
Most, if not all American
wars, have been waged for
not for plunder. Why
should that record be changed?

three-sevenths Of the entire
vote, were for President Will

No effort was made on the

fact, that none Of the demo-

to be taken. 1t was spontane.

ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN

Fifty-one years ago. April IA, 1868,
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated
and died the following morning. To
review some of the history dealing
with this event the two following items
taken from an old copy of the New
York Herald of April IS, 1865 are re-
printed verbatum:
"War Department,
Washington, April 15-1:30 a. m.
Major General Dix, New York.
This evening at about $50 p. m,
at Ford's Theatre, the President, while
sitting in his private box with Mrs.
Lincoln, Mrs. Harris and Major Rath-
burn, was shot by an assassin, who
suddenly entered the box and ap-
preached behind the President.
"The assassin then leaped upon the
stage, brandishing a large dagger or
knife, and made his escape in the rear
of the theatre.
This pistol ball entered the back of
the Presidents head and penetrated
nearly through the head. The wound
is mortal.
THE President has been insensible
ever since it was inflicted, and is now
dying.
About the same hour an assassin,
whether the same or not, entered Mr..
Stewards apartments, and under pre-
tense of having a prescription was
shown to the Secretary's sick chamber.
The assassin Immediately rushed to
the bed and inflicted two or three
stabs on the throat and two on the
face.
1T is hoped that wound may not be
mortal. My apprehension is that they
will prove fatal.
"The nurse alarmed Mr.. Frederick
Seward, who was in the adjoining
room, and he fastened to the door of
his fathers room, when he met the
assassin, who inflicted upon him one or
more dangerous wounds. The recovery
of Frederick Seward is doubtful.
at is not probable that the Presi-
dent will live through the night.
General Grant and wife were ad-
vertised to be at the theatre this even
ing, but he started to Burlington at six
o'clock this evening.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1916-04-20

Eat a Cabinet meeting, at which
General Grant was present, the subject
Of the state of the country and the
prospect of a speedy peace was dis
cussed. The President was very cheer
of General Lee and others of the con-
federacy, and Of the establishment of
government in Virginia.
"All the members of the Cabinet ex-
cept Mr.. Seward are now in attendance
upon the President.
Il have seen Mr.. Seward, but he and
Frederick were both unconscious.
