Had they done otherwise they
would have been in the positi-
on of obstructionists with ref
erence to a measure the pass
age of which is absolutely ne
cessary to the country's safety.
Their action would have para
lelled the work OF those who
tried to load down the con-
scription bill with a proviso
that Teddy be allowed to raise
a division.
Having refrained from
blocking the Lever bill the
dry forces will be in all the
better position to carry their
measure through on its own
merits when the proper time
comes. 1t is better at all times
to have important issues stand
alone so they may be settled
squarely upon their merits.
This is particularly true at
this time when the one SUI
preme ideal before the coun-
try is military efficiency.
1t will require 1S months
yet to win the war in the view
of Sergeant Wells who lectur-
ed here last evening; the ten

out much longer than expect

war. However. Is months of

kaiser in a bad way.

These + the days when
well flushed streets become a
particular asset to Pendleton;
old timers can remember the
days when Main, street did not
smell like a perfume bottle.
The press of the state has on
many occasions been friendly
and generous to Pendleton; we
now have an opportunity to
show some gratitude and it
should be done with Pendle-
ton pep.
The Hearst service and the
P. will both have to learn
the lesson of Patriotism First;
their anxiety for scoops they
andanger the safety of our SOL
