POLICE SILENCE.
The Pendleton police ha adopted
the plan of sileuce about what occurs

that the cause of this step is based
on the fact that a certain paper so
distorts the facts jivea out that It
phices the police force in a ridiculous

a fake light.

wrong move on the part of the police

there is no serious alarm, yet it shows

THE PANAMA RAILROAD.
In some quarters criticism Is heard
because Vnited States forces are
guarding the Panama railroad and
keeping it open during the present
revolution In that country. In doing
this we rre simply discharging our
treat' obligations. The Panama rail
road was built by Americas capital,
not to supply a convenience to the
government of Columbia nor to rebels
against authority, but for the com
mercial purposes of all nations whose
trade usee tbat method of transporta
tion across the isthmus.

The day is past In w hich they can do I
as they pUnse with neutral rlshts and 1
alien Interests. The strong nations,
whose power and dignity nre of con
current measure, have long since ac
corded respect and protection to each
other's nationals.
When the flighty and headstrong
countries south of us learn to do this j

taught this from the outside, for thev

Mexico wise men can do iu the gov
ernments south of her. 4'nfoituuateb
tbeir frequent revolutions are simply
to attain power usually fur misuse
and not for the establishment of any
useful principle, nor to la- the founda

The Colt nibf an government is pro
testing because every passenger and
freight train on the Panama railway
is guarded by Vulted States blue

Let that govtrnment cease to protest
and learn the lesson taught by the
