Better Than War.

The whole world is preparing for
war" said William jennings Bryan at
a pacifist dinner.
Il know a man in Miami whose good
lady suddenly went in for spiritual
ism. Did he declare war? No; he
did not. He did better.
Instead of declaring war, the Mi
ami man took to accompanying his
wife to all her spiritualistic seances,
and at every seance he got the hand
some medium to procure him messages
from his first wife, who was dead
and, ah, such tender, such loving mes
sages as they were!
"By this method the Miami man
soon put an end to the spiritualitic
idea in his household

Pay to lllegItlmates.

For the first time since the working
mems compensation law went into eff
feet in Michigan. the industrial acct
dent board has been ordered to pay
compensation to illegitimate children.
The case came from Grand Ledge
where N. H. Roberts met his death
while working in a sewer. There was
no question as to the liability but
there was a dispute as to who should
receive the compensation. Roberts
wife was confined in an asylum and
they had not lived together for five
years. He had a daughter who was
living at the home of a friend, but
the evidence showed that he had not
contributed to the childs support.
However, his housekeeper gave
birth TO two illegitimate children and
Roberts was supporting these children
az the time of his death. In its opin-
ion the supreme court directs the In
dustrial accident board to change its
decision whereby the compensation
was ordered paid to the insane wife
and legitimate child and pay the
award to the illegitimate children.

Pendleton is the busiest, most
prosperous and most ambiti-
Gus. Our people are proud Of
their school system and have
always manifested willingness
to finance the schools in first
class manner. We paid our
old superintendent, Mr.. Land
ers, S24O0 a year and it did not
bankrupt the district.
But we are now down to an
$500 basis. We are in class
with Milton, having a popula-
ton of 1890 people. We are
on a par with Heppner having
$50 people. We are but slight
ly above Bend with a populati-
on $50 and lone with only 239
people.
Why not get back into the
class where we belong and an
nounce we want a broad
guage, experienced superin-
tendent, no matter whether he
lives in Oregon or not, that we
are ready to pay the salary eX-
pected of a town of this size,
and ready to give him some
real authority.
The East Oregonian makes
this suggestion without mean
ing any offence to Mr.. Hamp-
ton or to Mr.. Park. This paper
has no candidate and never
has had. We are not con-
cerned with individuals but
have concern for the prestige
of Pendleton and the welfare
of the school system.
The best superintendent to
be had is none too good for
Pendleton. He will require a
larger salary than we now Of
fer but he will be worth it in
ways too numerous to mention.

Powers will not be altered by Presi-

stage as participant in events.
The Entente Allies will present their
reply to the Central Powers very soon
and a reply to President Wilson will
come later. but probably not within a
fortnight. The answer to the Central
Powers had virtually been arranged
when the Presidents note was pre-
sented. The answer to President Will
son requires a further exchange of
views among the Entente although
there is little doubt that the general
tenor of both notes will follow the
same line both being based on the Of
fetal speeches of David Lloyd George,
The British prime minister. Aristide
BRAND. the French premier, Baron
Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister,
and NJ. Pokrovsky, the Russian foreign
minister, as containing a full exposi-
ton of the policy of the Entente.
British public men generally decline
to speak for publication concerning the
note of President Wilson and those in
the government cannot do so without
violation of official custom. Those out
side of the government do not desire
to embarrasS it.
