Benz. c. Sheldon reports a very
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens
Of LaGrande in regard to the cam
paign for the normal schools. Mr.
Sheldon went to La Grande last
week and has also visited and Is
planning to visit other eastern Ore
g0n cities with the purpose of organ
izing that section of the state for
the support of this measure at the
coming election. The following arti-
Gle from the La Grande Observer of
a recent issue tells very interesting
story:
"A meeting of unusual Importance
was held at the city hall yesterday
afternoon, having for its purpose
the initiation of an effort by the peo-
pie of this city to secure the normal
school which will come to eastern
Oregon if the measure placed upon
the ballot for the November election
is carried.
"The last legislature submitted to
the people proposal for the estab-
lishment of two more normal schools
for the state. There had been three
such schools in Oregon for years, but
a resentment against the log-rolling
conditions cropping up at each sue
eessive session, in which these schools
became involved, caused one session
TO cut off their appropriations. That
the state needs the schools is widely
known and admitted. Experience
has proven that the one school at
Monmouth cannot supply the demand
for trained teachers and that the
grade schools of the state, particu-
larly the rural schools, have and will
suffer unless provision is made for
adequate teacher training facilities.
The bill before the people pro-
vides for school in southern Oregon
and one in eastern Oregon. The par
ticular location for the eastern Ore
gon school will be determined by the
state board of normal school regents.
II has become known that the indi-
vidual members of that board have
strongly expressed themselves as be-
ing absolutely neutral as between
the several communities of this Sec
tion of the state which may be pros
pective candidates for the institution.

Bishop Of Oregon
Confirmed Class

The Right Rev. Walter T. Sumner,
the Episcopal bishop of Oregon, Off
ciated at Trinity church on Sunday
evening, and confirmed a class OF
four, presented by the vicar, the
Rev. P. X. Hammond. The bishop
then blessed a service flag with
twelve stars, representing twelve
who have entered their country's
service who have been connected
with the church congregation and
Sunday school. The names are;
Alden F. Whitney, Burton Winnie,
Vincent Ward Hammond. Elwood
Hedberg, w. w. usher, John B..
Winner, Herbert Poor, Frederick Pen
niston, NJ. Clement Summers, Robert
Wagner, Jeffery Taverner and Des-
mond Gill.
The bishops sermon was a stir
ring appeal for larger devotion to
God and country. He declared that
we had unsheathed the sword of vic
tory in the cause of humanity and
democracy, and that those who had
responded to their country's call in
the spirit of self-sacriflce needed to
be upheld by the same spirit of self
sacrifice in us who stayed at home,
and that if we give up all that we
possess, still we are not making the
sacrifice which is offered by the men
going for us into the trenches.
Above all, he said, we need to be
armed with the sword of the Spirit.
and both men and women should be
alive and devoted to God.

Escaped Jailbreaker
Caught at Siskiyou

William Lockett, the negro who
escaped from the county jail at
Yreka on February 12, was captured
at Siskiyou the following Saturday
night He had spent the previous
night at Ager and from there he was
tracked to Bailey Hill, where he
boarded freight train and rode over
the Siskiyou mountains, where he
was caught in cabin. A horse be-
longing to Gus Reichman was taken
from a barn near Fort Jones and
later found in Montague, and it is
believed that Lockett had taken the
animal to assist him on his getaway.

plants do not justify or desiring
moro salaries or more men under
their employ, may "exact payment
of such rates, tolls and charges al
they may establish" in order to
carry out their schemes, and the
people will have no relief against
the expenditures except through a
repeal of the provision which has
just been enacted by the legislature.
In other words, with the one ex-
ception with regard to mourning
Indebtedness a board has been es-
tablished to take charge of the pro-
perty of the taxpayers of this city,
possessing arbitrary powers, with
out responsibility to any person, and
the term of office is such that the
people may expect no relief from
what they do except through long
periods of waiting, unless the legis-
lature relieves US from the trouble
we are sure to have.
Will the People Submit?
: In view of these suggestions it
must seem important to the tax
payers of this city to agree on a
ticket Of three men, "good and
true" with no nav for office, who
will be willing to serve the public as
managers of these plants, until we
can have the legislature restore the
status existing before this legisla-
ton was had. Men who create Of
fees or have them created, should
not be trusted to fill them. A plant
worth one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars should not be made the
play-thing of a few politicians who
want to rule everything. The, peo-
pie should assert their authority
when it comes to the management
If their own property. The tax
payers of this city may agree on a.
ticket and support it and save the
lay, or they may turn the plants
,ver to those who made the Offices
md desire to fill them. It is up to-
he taxpayers.

that the men whom he admired be-
came great because they DID NOT

Alexander the Great did not look
up to any killer as his great model.
The man that he admired was Aris-

(about which we will write later)
to buy another pipe line to carry

tor of Bismarck's power and army.
Napoleon was q fighter. That was
only one part.
See the letters he wrote to the
people that he sent to rule Germany
for him--he did not bother to 60
himself-it wasn't necessary. What
the Hohenzollerns and the other
Germans had built up he could ham
die with the little finger Of his left
hand.
Study Napoleon and you will find
no man merely planning wholesale
murder. He wanted to conquer the
world as part Of other plans. He
was a lawmaker, he was strange
survival of the italian period of
Benvenuto. But he was no half
German, half Hun, wholesale muir
derer.
He was a thinker.
What will history say of this Ho-
William the Second, the
last that will possess and exercise
power on the earth?
What will be written about him
when the change shall have occurred
that you see in this picture-hair,
mustache, eyes, flesh gone-and only
the bones and teeth left, resting,
perhaps in some royal grave, rot
ting perhaps I'm some ditch where
the mob will have buried the would
be "world ruler!"
The world will say that this Kaiser
was as much out Of date as the oc-
casional wolf found in a civilized
country or the stray bear that wan
ders down into a Catskill village
from the mountains.
His day was past. HIS blood mix
ture was bad-as shown in his de-
formed arm, his constant illnesses,
and the moral idiocy that led him
into the present disastrous under
taking.
'T have dreamed of German
world dorninion."
He dreamed of emulating the ac-
complishments of the great world
fighters and killers.
But in him THEY would see moth
ing but the pitiful, rundown, tail
end. dying representative of that
which was real in their day and use
full because their armies carried
civilization with them-that which
is unreal, unnecessary, and horrible
in this day of the Hohenzollern
whose army carries with it nothing
but drunken, insane ambition, bru-
tality and autocracy.

The Kaiser is one of thousand
rulers that have taken as models the
great successful killers and rulers
Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon-and
been led to destruction by a dream
of power beyond their capacity.
The three great world warriors
had one thing in common: They
went STRAIGHT TO SUCCESS.
What they began they finished

The Kaiser; now in the fourth
year of attempt to play Alexander;
the Great, must be asking himself
what is the matter.
Alexander did not begin war,
march little way in it, and then
stand still with his people starving
year after year. HE WENT
THROUGH.
Does it perhaps occur to the
would-be Napoleon Of Potsdam that
he is of the wrong period, wrong
breed, and wrong kind?
Does he forget how easily Napo-
leon played with the present Kaiser's
Hohenzollern acestors- as ef-
ficient against Napoleon as so many
brewery wagons against a modern
military "tank?"

Stop Auto Motors

Gasolene conservation takes a new turn, now that Sundays are no long CT gasless. The state fuel admins trator, through the Bridgeport War Bureau, makes the request that gaso- lene saving be accomplished by stop ping the motor when the car is stop ped.
 In order that this phase of gaso lene conservation may be effective, the War Bureau requests that wher- ever possible the numbers of cars with motors running needlessly be repors ed there. In the case of comre.- cial vehicles the waste is due to the carelessness of employees. Owners ara often unaware of the circumstances and if properly notified would be glad to take adequate measures to have the waste stopped.
 The saving that may be effected in this manner will probably astonisb those who have not tried it. Incl dentally, it will iengthen the life O: the CT zine
