is A PROTECTORATE
COMING?

lNNNHATEVER the future
IL developments may be it
is evident from the call
ing out of the national guard
Throughout the United States
that the Mexican situation is
more serious than at any previ-
Gus time.
For three years the Wilson
administration has labored
earnestly and patiently to in
duce the Mexicans to set up a
legal and stable government.
We have given the Carranza
forces the benefit of recognition
from this country and every
assistance possible.
Yet there are many signs of
weakness and incompetency
down there. Our border has
been frequently raided and
many innocent American lives
sacrificed. The de facto gov
ernment has been unable to
control the situation and yet is
cbjecting to the presence of
American troops sent there for
the purpose of helping hold
down the brigand bands and
protect American interests. In
other words the de facto gov
eminent cannot preserve order
and at the same time vehe-
mently opposes help from the
only quarter where adequate
help may be obtained.
Self respect will not permit
this country to withdraw its
troops from Mexico until the
purpose for which they were
sent across the border has
been accomplished. If the
Carranzistas are to make war
against us the only course open
will be to send. more soldiers
into Mexico and pacify the en-
tire country, Carranza as well.
What the administration has in
mind is not stated but it is pos
sible there may be in prospect
some such plan as was follow
ed in Cuba on two different oc-
casions. The army may be
used for the pacification of the
country and the setting up of |
"a stable government. That
would not mean the annexa-
ton of Mexico but the estab-
lishment of a protectorate over
the country. 1t would be a
splendid thing for Mexico.

A TIMELY, MERITORlOUS
MEASURE

n N submitting an initiative
measure providing for a
normal school here the
people of Pendleton are not
acting for themselves but in
behalf of the educational in
terests of the state.
There is at present a lack of
adequate normal instruction in
Oregon. This is a fact that is
realized and regretted by prac-
tically every educator in the
state. The situation is harmful
to the welfare of the common
schools.
1t is the honest opinion of
those informed upon the sub
ject that there should be a nor
NAL school in eastern Oregon
and it is the truth that Pendle-
ton because of its geographical
position and other advantages
is most favored as a location
for such an institution
In the past year or two the
fact this sentiment exists has
been thoroughly made known
to Pendleton folk. This has
been done through private ex-
pressions of opinion by teach
ers and educational leaders, it
was strikingly shown last fall
when the teachers of Wheeler,
Gillian, Morrow and Umatilla
counties, without solicitation
and without the knowledge of
local businessmen, passed a
resolution endorsing the idea Of
a normal school at Pendleton,
With this situation existing it
is the logical thing to submit a
bill authorizing such a school.
After fully investigating con-
ditions local people have deeid-
ed to do this and they are
ready to put the we'll known
brand Of Pendleton energy
back Of the move with a view
TO succeeding. The merit Of
the plan is so great and such
influential support has already
been enlisted that victory seems
almost certain.
Aside from establishing
normal school for eastern Ore
gon the constitutional amend
ment being submitted will vail
date the locations of the uni
versity, the agricultural col
lege, the Monmouth normal
and the normal school at Ash
land. However, the measure
provides nothing for those in.
stitutions outside Of the valida-
tion feature. If the Ashland
normal is to be revived it will
be up TO Ashland people to take
the initiative in the matter and
the people will then be able
TO pass judgment as to wheth-
er or not the school should be
set at work again.
