. As a town boaster Judge Lowell is
almost as cheerful as was Malthus as
an economist
Jartj-e lout-ll Has Malthus held
Hie Train Kcwrsctl. the theory that
the wo rld's
population was increasing too fast and
that the only temedy was for many
people to starve to death.
Judge Lowell seems to hold the be
lief that prosperity in Pendleton" Is
unnatural and unwholesome and that
the town should be choked until it
stops growing. In a published inter
view ha Dremct a KDeedv reaction
from our present good times, chide
the people on what he terms "public
extravagance" and among other
things says:
"Is It best for any of us that this
period of public extravagance should
continue longer? ja it not time to
sop, iook ana listen? where are we
drirting?"
To what public extravagance does
Judge Lowell refer? Surely not to
the streets and sidewalk w6rk that
has been done, because that has not
been public expense. It has been pri
vate expense andin most instances the
property owners have been abundant
1 able to stand the expense. In fact
they have petitioned for the improve
ment. Pendleton's only big public expen
ditures of recent years have been for
tiie new high school and for the gTav-!
Ity water system. Does Judge Lowell
still believe that the new high school
was a mistake and that the people
blundered In voting to secure good
water for the town? Is it of no con
solation to the judge to know that
Pendleton has the finest high school
in the state outside of Portland and
offers more practical courses than are
offered by any other town in the
state. Is it no consolation to know
that the students are now safely and
comfortably housed whereas they
formerly were not; is It no consola
tion to know that while two ars ago
our high school enrollment was 148
it is now 215. an Increase of almost
10 per cent; Is it no consolation to
know that good and desirable fami
lies are. coming to PenJleton to live
t.ecause of that new high school and
that Pendleton thereby secures new
business?
Aa for the gravity wat,er system the
money for that work has been secur
ed and the bonds will be paid off out
of the" receipts of the water system.
Taxes will not be increased five cents
because of the new water system. But
Tiere are some things that will hap
pen whrn the gravity water Is secured.
Pendleton will eliminate a dead ex-j-nse
of J3000 a year for pumping
electricity and that sum means five
per cent Interest on J 70.000. a sum
amounting to more than one third of
the bond Issue. We will also hav
water that the men, women ami little
children of Pendleton can drink with
safety and there will be an abundant
under good pressure. Out
prospective water system enabled
Pendleton to secure the Kastcrn Ore
gon State Hospital. Our proposed
gravity system Is attracting now peo
ple to the town right along and when
the work Is finished will be a perma
nent drawing card because the aver
age farmer who wishes to move t
town will choose if he can a place with
good water and gtod schools, and Pen
dleton can offer both.
Judge Lowell's notions of "public
extravagance" in Pendleton should
not worrv anyone We can afford
good schools and good water but no
town cm afford poor schools or had
water. They are the extravagances to
be avoided.

Carnegie's I.aU'e.t calling them li
Prewumptlon. brarlcs. is Andrew
Carnegie now in
tent on revamping the story of our
revolutionary war so as to make It
conform to his own British born ideas
as to how the story should read?
Such seems to be the case Judging
from the communication signed by
Lillian Scott Troy and which is pub
lished in this paper today. It must
be admitted that Miss Troy's state
ments as to the alleged American and
British alliance against Germany
sounds like the product of a fevered
imagination. But her statement re
garding the plans for changes In our
historical text books appears correct
She has sent to the East Oregonian
a two column clipping from the Lon
don Dally Chronicle of Oct. 1913.
It is an advertisement and appeals
for 60.000 pounds from the British
public with which to carry out the
English part of the program. The ad
vertisement also sets forth the plans
of the American committee of which
Carnegie is chairman. This program
among other things calls for "a re
vision of historical text books with a
view to the elimination of anti-British
coloring."
How could any American history
properly recite the events leading up
to the seven years war for Independ
ence and the tales of that heroic
struggle without a touch of sentiment
against George III and England. Had
there been no sentiment against Eng
lish tyranny there would have been
no war.
t
In Andy Carnegie's mind our history
may be off color. He may consider
the Boston tea party a disgraceful
stunt; Paul Revere's ride as a bit of
horse play and Cornwallls" surrender
at Yorktown a huge joke. He may
regard Washington as an upstart reb
el and the ringing phrases of the De
claration' of Independence may not be
music in his ears. But for the aver
age American our revolutionary war
notions suffice very well. We prefer
the story as It comes down to us
straight from the lips of those who
fought and bled at Bunker Hill, at
Germantown and' on other fields
where American valor was strong be
cause of the feeling that the colonies
were right. There is no call for a
Carnegie version of the revolutionary
war and the mere suggestion of such
a thing la the limit even for Carnegie.

writes the second of a series of ar
ticles entitled "The New Freedom
for Little Children." In which she
shows how the Montessorl principle
of education may be applied by the
American mother at home. The ed
itor of the Companion In the course
of an Introduction to ' the series,
quotes the following sayings about
children. These ""Tings are the
saying of the greatest observers, lov
ers and educators of children from
Froebel to Montessorl:
"Trust Childhood."
"There is no bad child. The bad
child Is a good child in a wrong en
vironment." "There is no stup'U child. The stu
pid child is a child receiving an ed
ucation unsuited to it"
"Give children a chance to expand
according to their Individual temper
aments." "Observe children as you do flow
ers. Help them to be themselves
Give them the soil they need "

Editor East Oregonian: j
Now that the Carnegie project for
the celebration of one hundred year.
of peate. between the I'nited States
and t'reiu Britain is assuming such ;
tlangerous proportions, it behooves the'
press of the I'liiteil States to sound j
the alarm against the giving of sub
scriptions by the public to this fund.
The w hole project Is uoth ng more
or less than a diplomatic move on the!
part of the ltrttlsh government, to j
ward off the wrath of Germany, who j
is only staying her hand for reason of .
the implied threat that the United '
States will come to the rescue of Great '
liriiain In the event of war between !
the latter nation and Germany. I
Andrew Carnegie, with the able
assistance of KUhu Hoot and Joseph
H. Choate, Is the apostle who. is spend - i
ing millions to promulgate this doc-
trine, and it Is high time that the U. j
S. Ambassadors abroad, who are his
tools In this misrepresentation weie
recalled.
The Inteitereme of the I'nited
States government In the Moroccan '
dispute between Germany and Great j
Britain was a disgraceful act of trea-1
son on the part or the handful of Am-
erlcan officials who without the
knowledge or sanction of ;he Ameri-I
can people informed Germany j
that any further insistence on her;
part of conditions which were not ac-
ceptable to Great Britain, would mean,
that the United States would back
Great Britain up with men and arms, j
I-jiter, when William Howard Taftj
was elected president of the United !
States, Germany, who had not alto
gether lost faith in American neutral
ity, again approached Great Britain
with a view to the settlement of the
dispute. Immediately the U. S. At
lantic fleet was d'spatched to English
waters and Commander Sims of Ad
miral Murdock's flagship, the Minne
sota, delivered an official speech in
London in which he said that "If
England were threatened with an ex
ternal foe she could count upon every
man, every dollar and every drop of
blood in the United States." '
To the American public the dis
patch of the Atlantic fleet to Itrltsh
waters in mid-winter was regarded as
a very pleasant and enjoyable cruise
for the offlcera and men of the fleet
The truth of the move was known to
the British and German governments
and the Carnegie pro-British annexa
tionists in the United States govern
ment. Germany was again obliged to stay
her hand; but Immedaltely Increased
her naval program.
Having been subjected to American
diplomatic intervention on two criti
cal occasions when pressing for a set
tlement of demands with Great Brit
ain; Germany had every reason to be
lieve that the United States govern
ment was representing public opinion
In America, by the pro-British sym
pathies manifested by two successive
administrations.
In consequence of this anti-German
attitude in American diplomatic cir
cles, the .German government decided
to manifest Its resentment of Ameri
can public professions of friendship
for Germany, and diplomatic private
threat, by refusing to take any part
in the Panama canal exposition at
San Francisco In 1915.
When the Wilson administration
came Into office the German govern
ment was keenly alive to note any
change In the diplomatic antagonism
of the United States. There appear
ed to be a strengthening of the Anglo-American
bond by means of the
Carnegie "Peace" ativitles. and Ger
many was therefore only moved to a
greater resentment when she learned
that in January, 1914. the Atlantic
fleet was to be aga'n dispatched to
European waters.
January, 1914, synchronizes with
the date of settlement for German
claims against Great Britain, and
once again we shall find the power of
the U. S. navy backing up Great Brit
ain in European waters.
This contemplated "jaunt" of the
Atlantic fleet to the Mediterranean
In January next, Is another Instance!
of Great Britain holding our Ameri-I
can fleet over the head of Germany
as a big stick. j
Very little money is being subscrib-!
ed by the British public to celebrate i
Carnegla-n "Peace," although the ex
pensive newspaper advertisements
which in one week alone are said to
have cost 140.000, state that one of
the principal objects of the movement
Is
"A revision of h'storloal text books
with a view to the elimination of anti-British
colouring anil emphasizing
the benefits of the Hundred Tears
Peace."
I have read some of these "re
vised" histories written by the Car
negie employes and the manner In
wh'ch they seek to "emphasize" that
George Washington was an up tart
adventurer, and Jefferson and all the
heroes of the war of Independence,
a set of self-seeking incompetent re
bels, would pause the heart of Bene
dict Arnold to beat with satisfaction. .
No American worthy of the name
will subscribe in any way to Carne
gie's "Peace" fund; and no man. wo
man or child should hesitate to lift up
their voice in loud protest when theyj
hear the plausible professors, who are l
so handsomely paid by the Carnegie'
"Peace" fund, repeat at their well:
advertised lectures that
"After all, we'mnit be very fair
and logical and accept the recently,
discovered evidence that Washington j
was a very ordinary man; a poor.tac-j
tlcian; also that the Declaration ofi
Independence was only a chimerical
campaign document, written by a l't
tlo baml of revolutionary rebels and
ailventurerrs."
A coat of tar and feathers, and a
ride out of town on a rail would do
much to curb the treasonable speeches
and pro-British sentiments of these
