ALL THE WOULD AKIN.
World tragedies like that Just en
acted in Italy bring out the fact that
though the people of the earth are
divided Into many races, nations and
creeds, they are all members of one
great family.
When the news of Italla's misfor
tune was flashed around the globe,
preparations were Instantly made for
the work of succor. Probably every
civilized nation of the earth Is send
ing money and supplies to relieve the
needy.
The American people have re
sponded nobly. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have already been
raised, the rich and the poor alike
contributing. San Francisco, herself
but recently stricken, sends $60,000
to show her gratitude for the favors
received In her time of trouble.
The great battleship fleet, mighty
in peace as well as In war, Is now
hurrying to the Mediterranean to join
i.i the work of mercy. Other nations
are doing the same as the United
States.
Misfortune speaks in a common
tongue and her voice Is one to which
all the world gives heed. It is said
that all men are brothers when they
smile, but this relationship is showrl
with even greater force when Sorrow
touches a common chord in the
hearts of men.
Italv has the sympathy of the
-world In her present distress. If
money and supplies could wipe out
her loss, the terrible earthquake
would soon mean no more than do
the ancient myths of the Ionian sea.
Feople who have Interests In Pen
dleton and want to see the town go
forward should start the new year
by attending the woolen mill meeting
to be held at the Commercial club
rooms Monday.
At the coming meeting the work of
disposing of the $30,000 bond Irsuo
will be taken up with visor and those
In charge of affairs hope the entire
Issue can be disposed of without
great difficulty.
For men who own property In Pen
dleton, or who are engaged in busi
ness here, the woolen mill bonds fur
nish a good field for Investment. Five
per cent. Interest does not constitute
their sole return.
From the re-establishment of the
woolen mill and the continuous oper
ation o fthe plant, local Investors will
reap great benefit. The re-opening
of the mill means that the city's pay
roll will be increased; that there will
be a greater demand for houses; more
business for merchants and for every
body else in the city.
Then to rejuvenate the woolen mill,
will encourage other industries to
come to this city.- i'endieton also
needs a threshing machine factory
and it needs a breakfast food factory.
If the woolen mill , can be made a
success, local people will take heart
and will work to establish those
plants also. Then within a few years
Pendleton will be a little city with
manufacturing as well as agricultural
resources. It will not be merely a
big farming center as it really is at
present.
Join in, Mr. Property Owner and
Mr. Business Man, and help finance
the woolen mill.

"Pat" McArtlmr Is nn aggressive
ycung politician and his ambition to
be speaker of the house of represent
atives is a laudable one.
But McArth'jr has no rirrht to th
speakership. He is an entirely new
member of the house while there are
many old members who would make
good speakers.
Then McArhur is a "minority"
member. He is an anti and an In
surrecto. He believes in machine pol
itics rather than in popular rule, or
at least his brief political record in
dicates as much.
While McArthur is wisely refrain
ing from expressing himself upon the
senatorship, yet he trains with the
crowd that would like to-defeat Gov
ernor Chamberlain. His political as
sociates are men who would debauch
the legislature if they could men
who have no respect for sworn
piedges and state laws when they in
terfere with their own narrow parti
san ambitions.
The East Oregonian is not con
cerned in the organization of the com
ing legislature, but if its advice Is
heeded, the statement members of
the house and of the senate as well
will, stand together and place their
own men In the posts of honor.

MAKE IT EQUITABLE.
If the county court acts fairly at
Its session next week It will raise the
county school levy at least one mill.
By doing so it wll make It possible
for the special district levies to be
lowered next year and as a result the
expense of maintaining the schools of
the county will be more evenly divid
ed than at present.
As pointed out before by the East
Oregonlan there Is much farming
7,rperty not included in the bounda
ries of any of the school districts of
the county. This property is now
practically exempt from any school
tax.
Then there are hundreds of large,
profit-making ranches In districts
where no special levies are ever made
of wh'Te the levies are so small as to
1 r. of no consequent. The owners
at thH ranches live in the various
towns of the county and secure the
advantages of the town schools with
out paying anything towards support
ing them.
Broad-minded men realize that this

two many big farmers thr-mselves
Tiave d'-clared their entire willingness

the court will but require it. The

four of the biggest wheat raisers of
the county who heartily favor the
suggestion made by Superintendent

so as to permit of a reduction in dis

One of ihe cardinal rules of good

But few persons reflect that the
feet may be wet in two ways-from
within and from without.
There is little use in piling up

feet to sweat. In fact, if you will
ask your doctor he will tell you that
it would be better your
feet should be wet from
without than from with
