that serious internal contenti-

Outside of the autocracy

for years only through the fact

STATE PRESS COMMENTS
ON RECENT CONVENTION
THE PENDLEroN SPIRIT.

(F'rom the Portland Journal.)
I God made the country. but men
make the cities.
( Pendleton is the proof. 1t is doubt
ful if there is in America a city more
vibrant with action or more tightly
bound in unity
In the past year PendIeton people
contributed more than 500 900 to
public activities A sample was the
more than $4,000 raised by popular
subscription for the entertainments of
the oregon Press association. Pen
dleton people paid for a special train
Of three Pullmans and observation
car to carry the newspapermen from
Pendleton to Joseph. oregon, and re-
turn. No entertainment so lavish
was ever provided by any city for
the state press association.
Pendleton is big figure town It's
men are big figure men. They sub
scribed $3.50 600 of Liberty Bonds.
Their quota for the Red cross was
s37. 000 and they contributed s4S,0
They never do anything by halves
Whenever they agree that something
is to be done. everybody in Pendleton
gets behind it and the thing is not
only done but done wholly and com
pletely It is always a first class

LET HONEST MEN BEWARE

q ONE men arrested as l.
S W. VS. and deported
from certain places turn
out TO be honest laboring men,
loyal to the government but
caught in bad company. 1t Is
regrettable such men should
suffer because of the radical
ism and hatred preached b.
others. But it is the way
things go and it is often diff
cult to avoid such mistakes.
When the scythe swings forth
to clear the field of anarchy it
takes whatever gets in its path.
1t is at times difficult to distin-
guish between good men and
bad men. For this reason the
deportation of men is someth-
ing to be resorted to only when
the case is such no other course
will suffice to save the day. A
better way would be for the
government to intern all men
suspected of such trouble max
ing In this way they would
he deaH with by legal author
-7ties rather than by mob action,
and there would be more OPP
pOrtunity for trying men ac-
cording to their individual
merits.
Meanwhile the plain moral /
for all who desire to keep out /
of trouble is to avoid any APP
pearance of association with (

fIon is suspected of having

money TO plot trouble for Uncle

Gates increased naval activity
in that region on the part of

Americans and particularly
cur naval men would like to
see this. Among other things
they would like to see a guard

Scotland across to Norway so
as to prevent U-boats from get
ting into the Atlantic. The
distance across is 800 miles and
with the American navy to
help it may be possible to set
up line of nets. mines, etc,
sufficient to bottle up the kais-
er's undersea fighters. If it can
be done the submarine menace
is ended because the English
channel is already protected. /
Thus far the allies have re-

There can be no real Round-Up

Called in Petrograd and that keren-
sky may escape to rally around him
the elements necessary to re-establish
his government at Moscow or some
other point.
Even failing in this. some of the ad-
ministration officials are confident that
before very long out Of the present
chaos in Russia will emerge a sound
and stable government. Secretary
Baker voiced this opinion:
Il am great believer in the abil-
ity of the Russian people to re-esta b.
lish themselves. If there is anything
to be learned by history it is that a
great people like the Russians will be
able to find themselves and to find
that order and liberty go hand in hand
The Russians being a great people,
whatever their present difficulties. will
eventually establish their government
in a proper and orderly way"

story of the week as regards the small

Board Of Health have the situation

taken place this week
The schools are to remain closed for
another week as precautionary
measure. All the churches except the
CniVersalist are to resume services on
Sunday and the moving picture houses
will be running full blast beginning
on Monday. Traffic to and from the
city, both by steam and electrics, has
been very light and business has suf-
fered in a like degree. II is anticipat-
ed that all affairs will be running in
normal condition at the opening of
the coming week.

Judge Will c. Atkins Friday afternoon,
charged with the larceny of lead from
the roof of one of the HollingswO

about $40. Mr.. Stuart was present for
the company and stated that he de-
sired the practice to stop, as this was
the second occurrence of like nature.
and al the same time expressed his
feeling that an admonition from the
judge would accomplish the desired re-
suit. The judge after hearing the boys
ADMIT the theft put the case over until
a week from Monday In this period
he said that he expected the lads par
ents to pay for the damage done. and
to this they readily agreed.

Property owners of the city are Won

as far as the hook and ladder truck
is concerned, is. The reason of their
wOnderment is that since the closing
of the stable of Merrill & Jamison,
there have been no horses available
for hauling the Hook and Ladder truck
in the event of a fire, except a tenta-
tive arrangement made with Mr.
Leonard of Depot Square.
When MefriH's stable was open the
city had an arrangement with him to
supply the horses in the event of d,
fire. True, the city teams have been
orking near the hook and ladder and
would be convenient in the day time,
At the meeting of the city council of
November, it was voted that the sta
BILE in the rear of the city building be
repaired. and that 4 team of the city
horses be kept there nights, and also
that arrangements be made with a
