That investigation of the Canadian
publicity methods is timely. There is
nothing that should be
A Seeded more icrupn lously

supply. 'When people
read a newspaper they are entitled to
know what i advertl?JPK and what is
"unf aJd. newa matter. -
The investigation by the senate lob
by committee has disclosed that one
syndicate that publishes patent lnsides
for country newspapers has been get
ting $42,000 a year from the Canadi
an government for the last 16 years.
In return Canada has been given boom
wrlteups and at times those stories
have been untruthtul and disparag
ing as to farming conditions in this
country. It is the syndicate that has
done wrong, not the little country
papers.
Under the new federal law it is Il
legal for any American newspaper to
publish paid reading matter without
having. the same labelled advertising.
It is a good law and one to which
neither legitimate newspapers nor le
gitimate advertisers can Justly ob
ject. The "same law should apply to
concerns publishing patents and to
news associations. If the present law
does not cover the ground the law
thould be amended so as to do so.

What is the sense of further ob
structive tactics against the Thorn
Hollow project. There
Cut it Out. is not a reasonable man
anywhere but knows the
gravity project will work a vast and
lasting Improvement in our water sup
ply. It w ill give us an abundant sup
ply under much stronger pressure. It
will eliminate a heavy pumping
charge and give us water of a char
acter that will eliminate a great am
ount of sickness. That project will
keep our promise to the state hospital
and it will keep faith with farmers
and other new people we wish to see
locate in Pendleton. Why do the
"antis" want to spoil the advertising
effect of this splendid improvement?
Why assail the water board any
longer? The accounts of the board
have been checked up and found cor
rect. The work being done has been
investigated and found to be good
work. No one claims anything to the
contrary. Then why continue to an
noy the board. Why not let them fin
tub the Job in peace. If Will Moore is
not assessed enough he can easily
have more property deeded to him as
Ir. Beat did. If Marion Jack is a far
mer so much the better. Farmers
constitute a big proportion of our
jpula.Ysn and pay heavy taxes. They
are entitled to representation In .the
water issue because they are vitally
concerned. A farmer is Just as com
petent to judge of good water as is a
lawyer and there can be no sense in
trying to content Mr. Jack's position
on the board.
Ixcal people are tired of the agita

accomplished nothing and nothing can
The Portland auto show has been a
very Interesting exhibition showing
the development
.V reat RIoksIiir. that is constantly
taking place in an
industry that was unknown only a few
years ago. It is an industry that has
assumed immense proportions.
Careful estimates place the total
number of automobiles in the world
at nearly 2,000.000. Many more than
half of these belong In the United
States l.i 27,940. Great .Britain.
which stands next tn the list- has less
than half as many. Further, the Uni
ted Mates has built up an enormous
export trade in automobiles.
The development of the motor car
has affected nearly every phase of
modern existence. Not only has it
changed the appearance of the city
streets but It has improved conditi
ons or life for the farmer and his
family and has brought into closer
touch with the outside world many
parts of the country that had been in
accessible. It has spread intelligence
and has brightened the process of liv
ing.
The auto has done all of that, yet
it does not necessarily follow that
every man or every family should try
to have an auto. It -costs money to
buy a car and it costs money to oper
ate one. Furthermore the depreel
ation is a factor to be reckoned with
There are people who think only of
the first cost of a machine and when
they do that they forget an Important
part of the problem. The auto is
particular blessing for those who can
use them to combine business and
pleasure and in the west most users
come under this class.
The Mexican rebels seem to be do
ing very well with such arms as they
have at present; if the embargo were
to be removed the fight might soon be
finished.
About the time people get scared

weather turns warmer. It is fain
safe to trust the eastern Oregon climate.

To build a modest bungalow.
But saw its size increace apace
Through the demands for closet space
Made by his wife tnd daughters two
That bungalow still grew and grew.

Big closets there, big closets here
Big closets till the house looked queer.
"Oh, well," Stead mused, "I'm glad
It's thus.
There's closet rom for all of us.
At last there'll be .some place for me
To keep my other suit," said he.
He hung It proudly on a hook.
But daughter Carrie came and took
That suit away, and where 't had been

And Gertrude, when that suit she

Within her closet, grimly frowned
And passed it on to Mother Stead,
Who took it and laid it on pa's bed.
And-

That suit, with closets everywhere,
Is hung on father's bedroom chair.

Dancing at the German court is al
ways a matter to be taken seriously.
The kaiser Is himself an expert danc
er, and will have only, experts at the
state balls. At all these functions
the court dancing master occupies a
place of vantage from which he can
watch the daneers and any mistakes
or clumsiness will be certain to bring
tbe delinquent a polite intimation that
he must mend his steps or expect no
further Invitations.
Nicola Marschall, said to have re
signed the flag of the confederacy and

At the time the war began he had a

quest painted a flag design, following
