This one sentence is worth volume

be recommended. 1t is statement OF
gratefulness, for this woman was suf-

a wounded survivor of the steamer

coast, was a caller at the journal Of

way home by short stages, having
come here from Calais, after having
been landed at st. John, n. B., on the
steamer Montreal from London.

the survivors were picked up by the

landed at Queenstown, Ire. where he
was III a hospital for seven weeks, af-
ter which he was sent to London,
where he was under a surgeons care
for some time. The care and treat
ment given the Saxonians survivors
in England was in pleasant contrast to
that of the Germans, everything be-

He states that the Germans did not
shell the boats after they had left the

ship, evidently in an attempt to de-

is surprising how much information
you can get in short air flight. The
airmens object is to get information
mostly and he intends to get it as
quickly as possible and then beat 1t
back to his own lines. If there is a
place that he wants shelled, he gives
the signal to his own artillerymen by
dropping a smoke bomb directly over
the place to be shelled and they get
the range from that.

NOT A QUESTION OF
ECONOMY

F the state should follow a
pay-as-you-go policy of
building highways the am
cunt available for work each
year would be small as CON-
pared with the needs of the
state.
j. Under a pay-as-you go policy
our chances of having the ma
cadam road hard surfaced
would go gliTnmering. 1t
would take us 10 years or
longer to get that highway
paved by the state on a pay-as-
you-go basis. So the county
would have to meet an expense
of several hundred thousand
dollars or see the road de-
stroyed. If the bonds carry we
get this road surfaced immedi-
ately and to obtain that bles-
sing we pay no more than we
will have to pay if we don't
get it. The auto license must
be paid whether we get good
roads or not.
Under these conditions is it
not logical for Umatilla county
people to favor the bond issue.
How can anyone in common
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-05-11

sense oppose the plan? Why
sacrifice a chance to get $400,-
900 worth of road work from
the state for the sake of pre-
judice?
Why try to practice war
economy by( voting down the
bonds when the increased auto
licenses must be paid just the
same whether the bonds carry
or not? The question up is
not whether we shall make an
expenditure for road purposes
but whether we shall act eff
GENTLY and secure results or in
the old haphazard way, obtain
ing but little for our money.

DEMocRACY's DANGER

INABILITY to work CO.
hesively and efficiently is
likely to be a fault in any
republic where a good stand
aid of education does not pre-
vail and where the citizens as
whole are not well qualified
for self government. 1t is a
situation that may assume
most dangerous form when the
army as whole or in part gets
from under control of the civil
government. Carranz za's
trouble with Villa arose from
this cause. Russia's present
stomach ache arises from the
fact the duma, supposed to con-
the government, is op-
posed in some important re-
spects by a citizen-soldiers
committee. The result may be
chaos and disaster in various
forms for Russia. In the Uni
ted States we are so thorough
up accustomed to the subordi-
nation of the military power
to the civil power that danger
at this time seems remote. But
we cannot tell what the future
may bring forth and due eau
ion should be taken. A demo-
:racy in which the elements
prove so unharmonious that |

'Orm its natural functions with !

state. 1t is open to |

NO PLACE FOR POLITICS

| - ERIOUS Legislation as to
war preparations has
been delayed many days
in congress largely because of
efforts of Col. Roosevelt to Sc
cure through special favor
from congress a chance for
spectacular service. His plan
was without military merit and
wholly contrary to the bust
nesslike, thorough spirit with
which we are entering upon
the war. 1t was two parts poll
tics and one part patriotism.
and politics has no business at
all in the army.
That the American republic
should be delayed in its war
program by such a stunt must
be amusing to those connected
with Germany's efficient mill
tary system. The affair reflects
upon the ability of our repub-
lie to govern itself capably in
war time.
Let it be hoped the confer
ees have put an end to the
Roosevelt scheme and that
other politicians who may have
similar plans in embryo will
take note. The country has
hard work ahead: there is no
time for fooliShness.
