when he sold books (Ae had a book

The American people love the public
school. They believe in its teachings.
The free school system is the pride and
glory OF every loyal American. 1t is
an outerowth of that spirit that led
the fathers to plant the standard of
political and religious liberty ON the
shoes Of the New World. 1T is the
great defender of our free institutions,
the great builder of character and rep
utatlon. 1t opens the gates of indus
try and points the way to success.
Patriotism is a spirit that should be
cultivated in every bosom. Our coun-
try needs and demands our loyal love.
our service in peace as well as in war.
Therefore loyalty and patriotism
should be taught in all of our free
public schools.
As citizens the first and most es-
scntial thing is to give patriotism its
true place in the governing motives
and principles of life The first place
in the order of obligations belongs to
God. Loyalty to the Almighty is the
duty of every soul. Devotion to coun-
try ranks second only to devotion to
God. Excepting his obligation to God,
true partiot must be willing to aban-
don every tic, if necessary. in behalf
Of his country. 1t is the duty Of the
public school to teach and preach this
gospel of loyalty and patriotism as the
birthright Of every man. Let as.
therefore, hail with delight and inter.

ing Of the public school. As q veteran

WE CANNOT HELP THE
DEAD

IA ORTLAND is today show
~ ing honor to the memory
y Of Lieutenant Adair,
killed at Carrizal, and it is en-
tirely fitting that this should
be done. However, no show of
emotion at this time can bring
this soldier back to life. He is
dead and all the flowers in the
world and all the music and
the speeches cannot change
his fate one billioneth part of
q degree. For him the sun has
set and the joys of life are gone
forever.
The time to save a mans
life is before he is dead. In
this connection it will be well
remembered that President
Wilson has striven to solve the
Mexican trouble without war
fare. Instead of sending nu-
merous thousands of soldiers,
on both sides, to their graves
and then settling the issue in
conference the Wilson plan has
been to confer on the subject
prior to the slaughtering act
and with a view to avoiding
bloodshed. Considering the
difficulties he has had to face
he has done well. In many re-
spects the outlook for a peace
full solution of the trouble is
brighter than for many months
past.
The most gratifying thing
about the Adair memorial SER
vice is that it is the only SER
vice of the sort the state has
been obliged to hold.

~ HE most striking evidence
VI that Oregon is regarded
in the doubtful class with
reference to the presidential
election is the fact republican
state leaders are striving to
have their candidate make a
trip to this state.
Ordinarily this is a safe re-
publican state and it is doubt
full if a republican candidate
ever before made a campaign
trip to this section. The fact
the state managers are implor-
ing Justice Hughes to take time
for some speeches in Oregon
shows very clearly they have
fears as to the outcome. They
realize the strength Of Presi-

alarms them.

SUPER-ODOROUS

NNN HILE the east is battling
D with infantile paralysis
and health boards are
urging precautions against
flies and dirt it is timely to re-
mark that there are some con-
oitions here that should not be
tolerated.
The Chinese garbage collec-
tor commonly to be seen in our
business section has a trans
portation plant" that smells
worse than a flock of dead lin
burger cheese factories. He
gathers Swill from the backs of
restaurants and carries the
same in dripping bucket to
his wagon. 1t is a sight to
make strangers wonder what
sort Of a town this Pendleton
place might be.
Sanitary galvanized cans for
handling garbage can be pur-
chased very cheaply and there
is no earthly use of allowing
such methods as are followed
by some of the collectors.
If common decency cannot
work a reform in this line the
East Oregonian hopes the scare
about infantile paralysis and
the accompanying admOnition

parts of PendletOn.
