Emerson. Hearst has been making a spectacle of himself by trying to outdo Henry Watterson In denunel ileart ami ations of Bryan, by Th MhIthU' critic ising the denio uval Policy, cratlc platform and taking a few side flings at ("Sovernor Wilson. He Is also hit ter against Roosevelt and there are some who declare he may support Taft. Should he do so it would be a great injustice to the president who ha troubles enough already. Hearst fails particularly at the dem ocratic platform because it calls for moderation In the construction of new battleships. He has also been de nouncing the democratic house of representatives In scurrilous terms be cause they have shut down on the two dreadnaughts a year program and have authorized but one battleship a year. The country never takes Hearst seriously though and he will find support particularly lacking when he criticises the democratic naval policy Most everybody wants the country to have a good navy and is willing to make reasonable additions In the way of battleships. But there would be no sense trying to outstrip England nhd Germany In this regard. Those countries live under arms and require large navies to protect their posses sions abroad America has few pos sessions to protect and should not have all that we now hold. nur need of a great navy arise ! largely from our poesepajon of the1 rJi!ljpinen, The Ixlundx do the coun- f f.v jj'j K,'Od and are a rock tied to 1 the c6lt'tiTs f!?', from military standpoint. As long as we retail the , 1'hilippines the country will be In a ! precarious position with reference to j Japan, while If It were not for the j Philippines there would be nothing j to the Japanese war bogey. j The best thing for the country to i do Is to accept the Woodrow Wilson j version that this country does not j own the Philippine Islands but ha simply "butted In" on their affairs j and should get out as soon as pos sible. Such a policy would -pleaae the Islanders Immensely and would fave the Vnited States all sorts of needless expense. Besides it would be the right thing to do. America does not own the Philippines. We merely pur chased a quit claim deed from Spain; It was not a title in fee, and we can best show our regard for popular government by granting the Phlllppl nos the same right we desire to - erclse ourselves. The trouble with the two dread- ' naughts a year program is that it is ; too costly. The "North Dakota." cost : $12,000,000 or ten times the cost of the Umatilla project. It costs a mil lion dollars a year to keep the North Dakota going. Iist year the country spent a total of J283.OS6.000 for "preparations for war," most of Which sum went to the navy It Is too much money for the country to expend for such a purpose. It would be better to Invest our money In "In come property" uch as Irrigation jro JecU. river and harbor Improvements anJ n' promoting: agricultural de velopment, even If such a proceeding should not appea to chonlc disturb ers like Hearst.. - a Much comment Is being made these days regarding the acton the post al department Is tak Slioultl Tlu Ing to, varus breaking Post mailer I to up fl.itJlioiis via the a CIihimtoii? general delivery win dow . A ruling has In en made to the effect that young women may no longer secure mail through the general delivery window of their home cities. The Woman's Ji-urnal views the matter In this light: "There seems no good reason for making a distinction of sex In this matter, if it is thought fit to require all minors to have their mall deliver ed at their homes, well and good; but young men are unite us likely as young women to use the general de livery for objectionable purposes. Why should they be given u free hand? Or why should Uncle Sam put re strictions on married women for fear they should deceive their husbands, and at the same time give married men full facilities for deceiving their wives? Even so devoted a wife as Mrs. Micawber, In wrftlng a distract ed letter to David Copperfleld and Thomas Traddles on a certain memor able occasion warned them that a re ply sent to her at the general delivery won II be fraught with less painful cons. 'iuences than one addressed to her at her home. "Everyone must be glad to have all pioper precautions taken to safe guard young people from folly or worse; but the boys need it iuite as much as the girls. As for persons of full age. the less Interference with their freedom the better, so long as they do not molest others. In all probability the wives who make a wrongful use of the general deliver are much fewer than the husbands." The East Oregonlan wonders why the postal department shou!d be deal ing at all with the subject of fllrta ttf.ns. Some flirtations are sinful; others are not But It Is scarcely the function of the postal department to act the chaperon. If the department will give good, speedy and reliable mall service wthout runnng up too large a deficit each year It will be do ing enough. a . m- It is gratifying to know that the Pendleton high school is acquiring a state wide reputation Tlie Pendleton for having brought 1 1 iirlt Svliool its courses of instruo l,cads. tion up to date. Be ginning this fall the school will not only offer Instruction in agriculture but also In domestic science and woodwork. In arranging for these courses the local board of education and Superintendent Landers are absolutely upon the rght road. The whole trend of education is tow ards greater utility and it is a most sensible tendency. After the policy of practical education has been de veloped as it should be the country vill have fewer Industrial lncompe pents and social misfits. Nor will there be any decline in culture be cause honest, useful work in itself promotes a cultured mind. M'YINU A STAMP IV (JKHMAXY. The postofflees In Germany are pe culiar Institutions. They are a far sighted people, the Germans, and they allow for expansion. If there are any postofflees In the country or less than three stores, I must have overlooked them. Every floor Is divided into about four departments and every de partment has about a donen offices. In some of the smaller towns, where business Is not very brisk, the staff consists of one official. You have to make an appointment with him if you want to be served. Enter ing on the ground floor, you run round and tap with your money at every pigeonhole until he answers. You then ask him for a stamp, where upon he orders you to go to No. 4 pigeon hole and wait there till he comes. You wait patiently for about five minutes, and then he pops his head out of No. 3 and wants to know if you've gone to sleep. When you ask for a 5-eent stamp, he says, "Oh, I thought it wjLs a penny one you wanted," and Instructs you to try at No. 7. At No. 7 he probably discov ers he"has run out of 5-cent stamps, and you have to go to windows. No 3 and No. 11 and get two 2-cent ones end a 1-cent. By this time you are getting quite friendly, and when you ask him where the telegraph office Is, he will prob ably get out his guide book and hunt the place out for you. He may even offer to take you there himself, as he's the telegraph clerk as well, and has got to get there anyhow. In j order to attend to you. i The Germans themselves, when ithey go to buy a stamp, make a day j of it and take their lunch can with them. It is quite a pretty sight to see the mother and a group of children sitting on the stairs, eating their bread and sausage and wondering whether father will remember them when he comes back with the stamp.
