than a lawn covered with "ginger
bread." Like all other busy western towns
Pendleton has sadly neglected the
subject of landscape arch'teeture. But
it is not too late to begin such work.
As indicated by the lecturer last eve
ning local people have an opportunity
t.i make a beautiful place out of Pen
dleton. To make the needed Improve
ments will not involve any vast ex
pense but it will require taste and at
tention. That some thought is al
riady being given to the subject is
proven by the fact that the ladles of
the civic club brought an expert here
to lecture upon the, subject. In their
work towards the beautifying of the
city the ladies should have the cheer
ful eo-opcratlon of local businessmen
and property owners. It will be good
business to make this place more
beautiful and attractive. Such work
tends to make people who live hero
more contented with their lot and It
also makes the c'ty Inviting to new
comers. Here's to a greater and more beau
tiful rendleton.

I:t an authorized Interview with the
1 i liiited Press papers yesterday Pres
t j idem Taft discussed the subject of

rectly, in accordance with the unwrit
ten law of the white house, the ideas
g'ven were those of the president and
they are fine ideas. All men will
agree that everything possible should
be done toward promoting arbitra
tion and ireventing wars.

in the suggestion. It Is not enough

It Is noteworthy however that
President Taft favors fortifying the

mother, who had been listening to
his conversation, called him.
"Robert." she began, in a grieved
tone. "I never thought I'd hear you
swearing."
"Why, I wasn't swearing, mother,"

"Well," replied the mother quickly,
"maybe It isn't exactly swearing, but
It is making light of sacred things."

A CITY BEAUTIFUL.
A subject of fascinating Interest
was that discussed last night by How
ard Evarts Weed, who lectured at the
Christian church under the auspices
of the ladies civic club. It is too bad
the meeting was not attended by all
the people of the city, for the audi
ence found it truly worth while.
In his lecture Mr. Weed pointed out
how by a proper observance of the
principles of landscape architecture
Fendleton may be made a far better
appearing city. The speaker was prac
tical in that he applied his know
ledge of landscape gardening to the
working out of local Improvement
pioblems.
With comparatively little expense
the depot grounds, which constitute
the front gate to the city, may be
made very attractive. By the use of
trees and shrubbery the unsightly
shacks uack of the Bowman hotel
may be hidden from view. Instead
of looking out over a barren plat and
at old buildings passing tourists would
view a grassy tract with a background
of foliage. It would make all the
difference in the world In their Im
pressions of the city and the expense
would be nothing compared with the
benefits derived.
Tk torturer also po'nted out how
Mala lad Court streets may be vastly
imprortxl through the removal of the
eiectrle end telephone poles and
wires. The business streets cannot
look right until this improvement Is
male. The cluster lights are good
end they should be Installed at regu
lar Intervals along both sides of Slain
ai.-d Court streets. But the effect of
such an Improvement will be largely
Ist unless the poles and wires are
ti moved.
Why cannot the electric company
unl tr.e telephone company be In
dued to remove thtir poles- The
v. ir' .s rni'.y be place l in cables under
Etound or brought to the buildings
fir m the back str'-et. lioth the elec
tric and telephone companies draw bl
r v-iiues from the city an 1 t!.oe com
panies should be ready and eager to
co-epera'.e in the- Improvement of
the place. Perhaps if the matter Is
I.re' nted to the company offi I.s by
the ivif club, the city council and
the Commercial club this change may
be broushj about. It Is worth trying
':yway. If the change Is to be made
). should be majn before any further
paving; work Is d,,rc In the l.ti in
pf ctlon.
Mr. V-1 also polr.U'd out othir op-pi-rtunlMes
for Improving the city. H
wouli have the people look forward
ti a boulevard system and to some
p.'.rks Tie wants the levee converted ,
into a promenade and that Is :in Im- 1
provement that may be easily maie.
He crplMnil many common errors In j
landscape gardening and one in par- !
ti(ul.:r. He objects to the scattering!
oi trees and shrubs about a lawn, j
Pucb shrubbery should be mowi il al- j
ong the borders of a place. An ex-j
p.'.r.Mve lawn looks better and lareer
world may be ready. Yet when one
censiders that even the Caucasian
world Is still mostly ruled by mon
archs the idea of disarmament takes
a slump. Monarchies are sustained
by the might of their armies and na
vies. Even with international peace
assured the European countries could j
not do away with armaments for the
kings and emperors would be knock
ing away the props that sustain their
ti" rones.
In America no army is needed to
sustain the government because the
people themselves rule the country
through the ballot box. At " times
their will is thwarted by special inter
ests but in the end the people always
prevail.
However America does need an
army and a navy to sustain itself in
international affairs. Danger of
trouble with European powers may ba
remote because Europe is civilized.
But the nations of the orient with
which the United States is thrown In
close touch are not civilized. They
are Just out of the darkness and they
do not observe the ten command
ments. In diplomacy the Japanese
play a wily and sometimes deceitful
game. Diplomacy with them seems
but an art. The only thing they really
recognize and respect is might. They
respected our battleship fleet and
seemingly they have respected the
American army now moblized on the
Mexican border even though the army
is composed of but a handful of men.
Nor Is there anything strange about
this. It is all very natural. The
theory that right makes might is
largely a delusion and a snare. Na
poleon said that God fought on the
side of the big battalions and he was
a good authority upon the subject.
The law that really governs the world,
lr private business and In interna
tional affairs, is the law of the sur
vival cf the fittest. Out of ignorance
cr hypocrisy we deny it but it is a
fact that selfishness rules .he world
and to a very great extent wo still
observe the motto of Robin Hood:
