Selected. Unless we allow some foolish minor lrcident to draw us unnecessarily Into the struggle there Our Good Chance Is every reason to Tor reav. anticipate that the United States will remain wholly free from any part In the war. It is not reasonable to think either the Germans or the allies would wish for a monent to have trouble with Uncle Sam. It would be disasteroua for either side to get this country aligned with the foe. We have the food sup ply and we have a navy that stands third if not second In the world. It Is absurd to think either side would wish to make an enemy of this coun try anymore than would this coun try like to be drawn Into the storm. As for Japan If that nation had felt any desire to mix with this country over the alien land question it is nat ural to suppose the issue would have been forced before the Panama canal was completed. Japan is In no po sition to start war against this coun try unless they have England's help No such help would be extended by England because John Bull has troubles enough already and for the further reason England, through the Canadians, faces the same problem aa does the United States regarding oriental Immigration. Tet while the fundamental conditi ons seem to assure continued peace for this country there Is always a pos sibility something unexpected may happen to disturb our tranquility. One element of danger lies In the fact the antl-admlnistratlon press Is usually ready to distort a situation whenever Jt can in order to make political capi tal against the president. This has been done somewhat already" regard ing the TurkUh incident There Is a chance such work may sometime lead the public astray and get peoile to clamoring for action when there Is no Bound reason at all for excitement. As shown In a message to this paper yesterday the National Woolgrowers" Association anticipates ;od I'rl high prices for wool i:iMM-t"d. next spring. In view of the embargo this cer tainly seems a reasonable view. This country falls far short of producing the amount of wool needed for Am erican uik. Therefore the cutting ff of the Australian supply will nat urally enhance the value of our raw wool. Advanced prices for wool seem certain and If such is to be the case the grower, not the speculator, should get the benefit. The settlement of the controversy between the United States and Great Britain In regard to private I"roHTty contraband reflects At Hew. credit upon both. Con traband is what any nation mith power to assert Its opinion cares to make it. In this case the friction has arisen over car goes in American or other neutral ehlj consigned to neutral porta in Furore that were believed to be des tined to Germany. The contention of the United States has been that our shipments were in good faith to neu tials, and that if the commodities found their way to belligerents, Brit ain's quurrel was not with ua but with the rations In Europe which were tliim .lhlii.K tli'lr wn i.-utrt.l!ly. It will have to be admitted that American uports to Holland, Den inurk, Sweden and Norway have In creased of late and that there may have Wen Justification for Brltlbh sus picions. In future, however, this trade Is to be more carefully super vixed. and the various neutral states IH undertake to prevent transship ments to Germany. This decision marks a certain ad vance in the law of contraband, which for a hundred years has been only a step or two removed from privateer ing and piracy. The time must conu when private property at sea will be regarded by all civilized nations as sacredly as private property on land. That has always been the American Ideal. New York World. The fact that the administration's majority in the lower house of con gress has been cut down "Off Yrar' as a result of the Tues- I lection. day elections need cause no surprise. It would not be strange. In fhVright of history if the democratic majority were wiped out Virtually in every "off year" con gressional election held since the Civil War, the president serving the middle of his term has seen a diminution of his control of congress or the entire loss of control. When Harrison assumed the presi dency, ICS republicans were enrolled In the house. In the middle of his term the number was reduced to eighty-eight. Cleveland started his second term with a majority of ninety-six, but two years later the repub licans gained a majority of 135. Mc Kinley, elected In 1S96, saw a re publican membership of 208 fall to 1SS. In 1900, McKinley's second term, the house contained 193 re publicans, but in 1902, under a new apportionment the democrats gained relatively. In 1904, when Roosevelt was first elected, there were 106 re publican representatives, but in 1908 this number was reduced, to 122. Taft, elected in 1908. started out with a re publican majority of forty-seven, but two -years later found himself con fronting a democratic majority of sixty-five. "Off year' elections have never been satisfactory to the party represented by a president in his mid-term. Milwaukee Journal. One London newspaper has a report that the mines in the North sea scare away the lobsters; and many of those "lobsters" do not crawl on the bottom of the sea either. ......... 1 A boy In New Jersey has been sen tenced to four months in jail for shooting a rabbit; that small boy should have come west and tried his luck out In the northwestern part of this county. Baker residents want to increase the salaries paid their city commis sioners; must like their work over there. One of these bright days Pendleton will wake up with a postofflce of the first class.

During a municipal campaign in Chicago a politician dropped in one morning to see a certain grocer. Pur ine the conversation that took place, the politician asked, "And I may count upon your support may I not?' "Why, no, I am sorry to say," re Plied the grocer. "The fact Is. I have promised my support to the other candidate." The politician laughed. "Ah," said he. "in politics, promising and per forming are two different things" "In that case." said the grocer cor dially, "I shall be glad to give you my promise, sir." Llpplncott s.

BAPTIST EVANGELIST MAY REMAIN ANOTHER WEEK HERE DECISION WILL HE MADE TO NIGHT MANY HAVE HEARD HIS SERMONS. (By Rev. Clevenger.) Rev. A. R. Wlllett has now been with the Baptist church two weeks. His preaching has been strong and earnest nn! many will continue to be glad for the uplift which he has brought them. Tonight it will be de termined whether the meeting will continue next week or not. Last r.lght he spoke on "The Necessity of tr.e New Birth." The Lord was speaking to a man of the supreme court of the Jews when He said: "Ye must be born r.srain," or above. The greatest men of the world have been Christian and are Chlstluns today. Nlcodemus could not understand when the Lord said, "Ye must be born from above." So the Lord told him that the new birth was like the wind, you can't tell whence it Cometh and whither it goeth, but you know you have exper ienced It. He failed to understand this and Jesus said, NIcodemus, it is like this. "As Moses lifted up the ser. pent In the wilderness even so shall the Son of man be lifted up that who soever belleveth In Him should not perish but have everlasting life " The new birth Is not a fanaticism, nn Invention, nor even conviction. It It not a result of historic faith, nor Is it of works, for If we could save curselves by works there would be no need of a Savior. "By Grace are ye saved." The new Mrth Is a change of heart "We by nature are the children of wrath." Jesus said. "Blessed are the pure In heart for they shall see God." Here an Impure heart Is made pure, therefore there Is a change of heart This change Is wrought by God " So Is every one that Is born by he Spirit." The conditions which bring about this change are not our Plans nor ceremonies, hut God's plan which finds a man "That belleveth not" and "Is condemned already," and which demand that we repent of our slr.s and trust the lord. God will then change the heart We must accept the conditions In repentence and faith and God will do the rest. WOMAN ACCUSED OE ITIirNG AT BATHERS ROSEBURG, Ore., Nov. 17. Mrs. Mary Criteser of Westfork, who was Indicted by the grand Jury on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon pleaded not guilty and will be tried.

Mrs. Criteser is also under indictment on 0 charge of bootlegging. King's Mall Fills Truck. HAVRE, France, Nov. 19. A large motor truck was required to forward King Albert at his headquarters in Flanders the mail received here for the king on the occasion of his fete. No class of society forgot the Bel gian ruler on his saint's day, which corresponds to a birthday on Protest ant countries. Picture postcards bearing congratu lations and best wishes were In the majority, but the king's mail con tained poems, drawings, paintings and even original musical compositions. Children were heavy contributors. as also were wounded soldiers in the hospitals. All ranks, from the no' blllty to the peasantry, were represented. ONE ON WILSON BARRETT. Wilson Barrett used to tell an am using story against himself. At a time when he had a lot of workmen redecorating his private residence, thinking to give them a treat, he ask ed 1., after work one evening, they would like to have seats to go and see him play in "The Lights o' Lon don." at the Princess Theater. They said they didn't mind If they did. and being complimentary tickets, all went on a Saturday night to see their employer's performance. At the end of the week Barrett's eye caught sight of this item against each workman's name on the pay sheet "Saturday night. Four hours' overtime at Princess Theater, eight shillings." Tit-Bits. WORK FOR ALL An epigram of that admirable epl grammlst, John V. Rockefeller, Is be ing quoted with approval In Tarry town.
