middle or halfway ground, we either

question of joining the church is mis-
understood. A great many people
think that they can become a Chris
tian, through obedience. and that then
the church membership is optional
This belief has been engendered be-
cause OF the UNCONVENTIONAL spirit in
the world today.
Jesus never fostered nor encour-
aged denomlnationalism but gave US
the one great universal Church Of
Christ, and the obedience that makes
us a Christian makes us a member OF
His church. Therefore man can
not be a Christian without being
member of the Church Of Christ.

1T MAY MEAN HUMAN
LIVES

~ ENDLETON is having the
"a coldest weather on rec
ord, the temperature of
p degrees below zero being
the lowest ever registered here
according to the official wea-
ther reports, and it is pro-
tracted cold spell.
This means suffering for
those not prepared to meet
such hardships. Such weather
as this calls for we'll built
houses, plenty of food, fuel and
plenty of clothing.
There are people here, men,
women and children, who do
not have these accommoda-
tons. Some are In most urg-
ent need and their very lives
depend upon a little help from
those more fortunately situ-
ated.
AS shown by a news story
today the Associated Chari-
ties is having a busy time of it.
1t is constantly meeting re-
quests for food, clothing and
fuel. At such times as this it
is essential such requests be
met promptly and as ade-
quately as possible. It may
mean the saving of human
lives. 1t may keep little chill
dren from dying from a COM
bination of hunger and cold.
Fortunately Pendleton has

settlers held quarter sections
within the reserves. Creation
of the reserves isolated them
and they made complaints.
In the effort to do them JUS
tice, the government passed a
general law which gave them
the right to select lands outside
the reserve in lieu of their
holdings in the reserve.
1t was a law with a good
purpose. But it opened the
way for selfish interests and
land pirates.
For instance, the Hyde-Ben-
son people through dummy en-
trymen and otherwise got pos
session of school lands in the
reserves at SIPS per acre and
used the scrip issued thereon
for various purposes.
Fifty thousand acres of the
school lands thus acquired at
$l.25 per acre brought the ring
values Of 81 an acre and up
wards.
The rinpsters secured inside
information from public en-
ployes and officials. In some
instances, land office officials
were in actual collusion with
men who were quietly gather
ing in public lands for a song,
The operations of the Hyde
Benson ring are only the more
notorious because they operat-
ed on a larger scale. In degree
of fraud, there were other op-
orators of equal guilt.
The theft of these lands was
a robbery of the school chill
dren of Oregon, now and here
after. knowledge of how these
areas of valuable lands were
immorally acquired is what
fills many men with concern
over the enormously valuable
grant lands now up for dispo-
sition. 1t is that kind of know
ledge that likewise inspires
many men with profound con-
cern over the tremendously
valuable water-power which
exploiters want to gather in by
the same easy and shady pro-
cesses.
The Hyde-Benson frauds
were uncovered through the
activity of Oswald West as
state land agent and officials
of the federal government. As
governor, Mr.. West caused in
stitution of the suit for recov-
cry of the lands, and the suit
now brought by Attorney Cen
eral Brown is a fresh start in
the Northumberland Jour-
nal.

A DANGEROUS POLICY

II 7 is already apparent that
the early and perhaps the
only fight in congress
against the administration
plans for the better military
! preparedness Of the United
States will be made, not only
by the politically hostile repub-
licans, but by a certain section
of the democratic membership
itself.
Several congressman from
the fresh water" states who
teel secure, whatever may hap
pen on the coast, are even now
banded together, more than
30 of them pledged to contest
the reasonable and certainly
not over-militaristic propositi-
ems from the army and navy
departments for the strength
ening of both branches of our
fighting force.
We regard this as a danger
Gus piece of business for such
democrats. If they cannot re-
alize that the people of these
United States are not satisfied
with their present condition of
unpreparedness. they may re-
alize it to their disadvantage
later on. By their lack of pa
triotic foresight they are offer
ing the republicans the best
chance they have had since
1912 for going before the coun-
try with a real issue.
For it is understood to be
the republican plan at present
to lie back and see what the
peace-at-any-price democrats
will do. Then, if there ap-
pears to be danger of the de-
feat of preparedness from
democratic opposition, they
will, it is said, Jump in, rescue
the measure and go before the
people boasting about it. 1t
will be a valid boast, too.
Does this kind of programme
appeal to the democracy in
Washington? Or will the
Donkey have sense enough to-
pursue, without boiling, the
road he has successfully trav-
eled for nearly three years?-.

0fscussed at the meeting of the exc

morning. It was decided that this is
ehe big job before the association at

such as sidewalks, curbing, and the

item however, Is the building of houses
ON this tract. Houses must be built
here to house the people who will be
employed at the new plants. The
Standard Four Tire company with its
nst of fifty or tifty-tive employees, will
need housing capacity for all Of these.
The houses which are to be built In
Aeokuk Heights must be OF reason

hold the balance when so many pas

PARTIAL PROHIBITION.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-The British

many articles not absolutely neces-

situation, President Walter Runciman
Of the board Of trade announced In

The whole British mercantile ma

Neutral countries, principally the
United States, from which most Of
the articles on the prohibition list
we're imported, are the hardest hit by
the action Of the government.
Imports Of wood pulp, glass and to-

government will later prohibit the
importation Of furniture, woods and
other raw material and the export of
rags and waste from which paper and
other products may be manufactured.
