SUCH STUNTS WONT WIN
THE WAR

n T has long been known thai
submarines could cross the
ocean, because they have
done so before, therefore there
need be no surprise over the
feat of the two Hun U-boats in
sinking some ships off our At
lantic coast.
The war, however, cannot be
won by stunts of this charac-
ter. "Hit and run" tactics
sometimes attract much atten-
ton but they accomplish little
after all. 1t is noticeable that
no well conveyed ships were
attacked and if the big divers
came over to interfere with
troop transportation their mis-
sion has been a failurea
Victory will go not to the
stunster but to the side with
the stoutest heart and the best
ability for long, hard pulling.
The kaiser cannot win by here
and there attacking helpless
schooners nor by surprise at
tacks on weak spots in the line
on the western front. Eventu-
ally there will be a real show
down. and he will take the
count. 1t may be this year,
next year or several years from
now but it is coming as certain
as fate because the United
States and the allies have the
ability to win and there is
abundant incentive for a fight
to the finish no matter how
long it may last, nor what be
the cost.
The U-boat operations are
intended to depress the Ameri-
can morale. The result will be
to rouse the nation to increased
anger, energy and determina-
ton against an unscrupulous
foe.
The kaiser has poor know
ledge of the American charac-
ter.

GOVERNMENT EXPRESS
SERVICE

m HE combination of the
VI chief express companies
in the Federal Express
Company on July 1 will effect
economies in staff, rental
charges, wagons and other
plant and transfer arrange
ments which may mount into
millions. But the chief gain
will be in public convenience.
If a man went to a Post Of
flee with a parcel to be mailed
and the clerk were TO tell him,
THAT isn't our territory. You'll
find the Pest Office for points
east several blocks down the
street." we should have a fair
parallel of a condition in the
express business which people
have borne, not without
grumbling, but only because it
was customary.
The express service is as To-
gically a natural government
monopoly as is the carrying OF

LOOK HESE THINGS
SQUARELY IN THE FACE

m HERE are certain phases
VI of the commission char.
ter subject that should
be looked squarely in the face
before a move is taken to sub
NIT such a charter to the
voters.
First, will the submission of
such a charter produce a town
fight, not only over the commits
sion plan but over other issues
that give promise of becoming
involved?
Second, would the adoption
of the commission plan at this
time, bring Pendleton benefits
commensurate with the costs? :?
Would it be possible at this
time with so many trained men
gone, to secure for city mana
ger the type of man wanted
and at a salary the people
would be willing to pay?
1t is evident from comments
frequently heard that there is
danger of plunging the COM
munity into a town fight if a
new charter is proposed. 1t is
also fair and truthful to say
that there are people here who
believe in the commission gov
ernment plan yet seriously
question if the time is appro-
pirate for trying the change in
Pendleton.
The time to consider these
things is before any cam
paign is started. We cannot af-
ford needless disruption of lost
motion these days. Above and
beyond everything else we face
war duties that must be met. In
a spirit of service to the COM
and mindful also of the
national obligations upon every
citizen the East Oregonian
ventures to suggest that before
action is taken to submit COM
mission charter that those in
terested in the move make a
very thoughtful and unprejU-
diced study of the situation.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION
BEST

T HE decision of the su.
VI preme court on the child
labor law sounds strange
from a practical standpoint let
the legal aspects be what they
may. 1t is difficult to deal
with this subject on a local
basis for the reason that if a
mill in one region is allowed
child labor privileges not
countenanced in another regi-
on where the same sort of
manufacturing is done it is OBJ
vious there will be a premium
on the use of children. Legis-
lation on this subject should
be national. If the constitu-
tion will not permit such legis-
lation now the constitution
should be amended in this par
ticular.

AN AMERICAN VS.. A BOL'
SHEVIKI

HS spokesman of the Farm
lA ers Union during their pic.
mic on Tuesday, A. r
IShumway said: '1f we as
Farmers Union members can
help ourselves without ne
glecting our duty to our govern
lment we will do so, but we
shall not do so if helping our
selves impairs our duty to the
government. Now there is
only one fight-the winning of
the war"
The East Oregonian congra-
ltulates Mr.. Shumway upon the
sentiment expressed; it con-
graduates the Farmers Union
upon the calibre of their lead
Iership in this county. Mr..
lShumway's statement stands
out in contrast with that of the
master of the state grange in
Washington. At the Washing
ton state grange meeting in
Walla Walla the master of the
grange made a speech defend
ing the Non Partisan League,
Iassailed those attacking the
league as being profiteers and
made other statements of a vi
Icious and libelous nature. He
did so regardless of the fact the
leader of the Non Partisan
League is under indictment on
a sedition charge, regardless of
the fact that leader, Townley,
said members of the 1. w. w.
were not more criminal than
other people and regardless of
the fact it is charged that an
i. w. w. card gives man ad-
mission to Non Partisan League
circles.
Mr.. Shumway speaks as an
American citizen of the pro-
per type; the Washington man
spoke like a bolsheviki. He
appealed to prejudice and to
Ignorance. He is the very type
of man a farmers organization
cannot afford to have in a post
of responsibility, at this time
or at any other time. The man
who plays to wild eyed radical
ism is the farmers enemy, not
his friend. In any land where
such radicalism has taken the
throne the first cry has been
for the confiscation of the land
and generally for the murder
of those owning it. Bolshevi-
kism is not democracy, it is not
economic reform. 1t is poison
mixed and peddled not by men
who believe in humanity or in
justice but by people who
place their faith in classism.
The western farmer is the last
man on earth who should take
such people by the hand.

as Prussianism-Leads to
Inefficiency

New York, Nov. 3O.--Charles E.
Hughes, speaking tonight before the
Institute of Arts and Sciences at Col
umbia University, asserted that
governmental enterprise tends con-
stantly to inefficiency." He character
lied as enemies of liberty" all "those
who interests lie simply in extending
the activities Of government so as
to embrace all industry"
Discussing conditions following the
war, he declared that readjustment
should be brought about as soon as
practicable and that war powers
should not be used to control peace
conditions. Such control, he said,
would constitute most serious Of
Tense against American institutions.
"The question of government own
ership and operation is, after all, a
severely parctical one" Mr.. Hughes
said "Of course, there are those
whose interests lie simply in extend

is to be conducted by Adjutant Gen

That this may be done, it is imper-

their companies up to the highest

every meanc in their power to make

view to stimulating interest.

is especially important that you have
the sympathy and cooperation of The
citizens Of your community, and Off
GERS should assist with every means
in their power to that end, as the pri-
