And tomorrow is Mother's Day the sweetest day of all the year. With k nrlH torn asunder by warj with strife and tumult on every hand; with every newspaper telling bitter news of conflict, let everyone in grand, old America worship God tomorrow in the manner that good mothers wor '.htn Him. Let the worldly nature be fhr,,t siHe and for a few hours live ,i a spiritual atmosphere purified and sanctified by the good motners. Grande churches wilt all properly ob serve this great day. Addition to the roundhouse and shops of the O.-W. in La Grande will be welcomed with a loud hurrah. If it is necesary to get along with the old depot, La Grande is equal to the emergency, and instead oi Becoming The snking of the Lusitania, with her passenger list almost entirely .. 1 -.

For an act is untirely uncalled for and to all appearances nas no jusuncauon in international warfare, or any other kind of warfare. But if it was a German submarine or a German torpedo that' wrought the damage, it is likely the Berlin view of the matter would be quite different from the American view. It will be remembered that warning ' was given the passengers before they sailed on this ship. ' Telegrams were handed to Daxseneers as they boarded the Lusitania, warning them of the lack of safety of the ship. But these telegrams were not taken seriously. . Most people thought they were but a bluff. How well the warning was Riven can now be. realized. And it ii very likely that Germany f eoling as she does, that she is fighting for her country for her existence has ; wiped aside all ethics in warfare and has resolved to make the high seas unsafe for all traffic. This she is accomplishing beyond a question f doubt Then comes un the nuestinn; . Is thn highway of the world to be blocked by warning nations ; against use by other people in the world? Someone will sav if two men are fiirlitino- in the street their fight should not pre vent me using the street. Quite right, riot in the street, und. there is now riot on the seas of the world, would anyone be foolish enough to Btart down that Btreet? Who would be re sponsible if the innocent bystander was killed when a riot was in prog ress? ' The sinkinir of tho LuRitaniu is fmir ful. to sav the least, and it nnpns the door for more questions of state; more questions of international law, and de cidedly more possibility of trouble for all concerned to the decision of the company. ' For If innat admitted that this is a noor time for any individual or cor poration to spend much money in lay ing brick and cement. I hina i playing a conservativo game. Instead of rushing headlong into war .with Japan, she made some imDortant concessions to her little brrwn bi others. But from now on watch the military end of China grow. The mavor of North Bend has re signed to start a campaign for con gress. Is this man progressing or retrograding? ' " ' Several royal welcomes have been given that river fleet on the Columbia. Probably a welcome was pulled oft every time a new invoice or cham pagne wu hauled up. The high school girls of Aberdeen have discovered a "fern salad."

Chapman, former secretary of the Portland Com mercial club, has issued the first num ber of his "Voter," a weekly publica tion1 devoted to state affairs and ad vising the vox 'ponuli how to vote. The publication is a very neat little magazine, and most of the contents is well written !bv Mr. Chanmun. On the front page he upholds the Oregon system of government, and in inside pages he tells the story of economy and a lot of other things. No advertising appears in the "Voter," and the subscription price of A TONIC THAT TASTES In Moritol Wine of Cod Liver Oil you get all the remarkable tonic and strength-building properties of the oil with the bad taste and the digestive difficulties left out.

It is thought that she will be able to recollect the incidents if she continues to recover her senses as she did for a period this afternoon. , Gun Laid at Bedside, n. v.inn,i.uenttAr1 axe and re volver were brought in. and left at the bedside, and were were iounu.

Then there is another theory, based on considerable matters or apparenv facts.

Women i.: a n: 1 1 lyi.D iiwuv r. , who went to the house after the crime was discovered, report rinding muaoy tracks circling the dining room table. This leads to a theory which District Attorney Ivanhoe is inclined to give the most credence to, thnt the woman heard the noise and provided herself with a revolver which lay on the bu reau, but which was "knocked down and had to be assembled; furthermore, the husband avers that it was not loaded, ordinarily. It follows, as feas ible, that Mrs. Moon rigged up the revolver, which, by the way, was not shot off and still works poorly, and went out to meet the intruder. It might easily' be inferred that they met in the dining room and that after circling the table, one protecting her self and the other attacking, she bolt ed for the back door, but was over taken and pounded. Clots of blood in the soil near tne porcn leu-ine of just where the main attack took place. The bloody trail begins just above the porch. To learn which of these theories if any is true, or just what the facts are. will perhaps never be known unless Mrs. Moon can her self relate them later. The theory that a tramp who was seeiv in that neighborhood, did the work, is exploited by police records. The tramp identified as the one who was seen in that vicinity Inst night, was arrested as a vagrant, last even ing. He was very anxious to avoid arrest and gave the policemen a long chase. He is still in jail. A tramp appeared at the J. H. Keen ey home this morning asking for a coat, but there was nothing unustial about his appearance. IN PENDLETON.
