The opportunity will It is absolutely astounding what depravity lurks in gasoline since the auto has become a competitor of traction lines. So great is the menace that the street car company seems to have established an open season for Jitneys. Street cars are accused of needlessly running down jitney busses and in Portland yesterday one car took after a little auto that was not a jitney at all. If such tendencies continue it maj be necessary to place all autos under the protection of the game commis sion and specify they shall at least not be 'destroyed after sundown and then only by parties taking out official li censes authorizing them to kill. Considering the world upheaval and the uncertainties growing out of such a state of affairs. Hopeful reacefu! business in this America, country is partic ularly good. There is depression her and there but such things count for little while the great basic conditions are as they should be. Broadly speaking the fundamental requirements for safety to the United States consists in financial ease, good crops and freedom from war. The fi nancial situation could not well be better if we may Judge from the ex pressed views of financial experts and influential businessmen the country over. The country has not only taken care of its obligations in Europe but la now in position to be somewhat of a world money lender. Money seems plenti ful for both long and snort time loans A New York state loan of 127,000, 000 drawing four nd a half per cent sold above par very recently. The crop outlook Is favorable and all indications point to unprecedented prices for staples. There will be plenty of money to move the crop. As to the war situation there are glori ous and abundant signs that Uncld Sam Is keeping his head and is steer ing by the neutral compaw. We have a peace administration and never was the countrv more fortunate than in this fact. This regardless of critics who shout "piffle"' and "spineless di plomacy." It may be "piffle" to de Hire peace hut even at that it is bet ter than war at fifty millions a day and besides people live longer. f-'pring is the season for hopefulnesn nd the people of the United States may Juntly look forward to the future with hope, which is more than the most of the world can do. While the farmers stand to gain the most heavily from the coming ad vantages of the "One for Afl and open river the sub. All for One." Ject of how to gall) the full benefits frorn water navigation Is one that squarely confronts the merchants of Pendleton and the other towns of the county. Eastern Washington towns will have advantage of the river rates. Pasco and Kennewlck will secure such bless ings without effort. Walla Walla Is preparing to solve the problem by soon be gone. huilding a hard surface road 34 miles long to Wallula. In self defense, if for no other rea son, the Umatilla county towns must get into the game or pay the penalty In loss of business and prestige. Construct a road along the lines suggested In this paper yesterday by Mr. Karnhart, president of the Farm ers Union, and Pendleton, Adams. Athena. Weston, Milton, Freewater and .Helix will be in position to secure the maximum benefits from the open Co lumbia, i Th. road to Pendleton will be of direct service to Pilot Rock, Ukiah and the whole section to the south ward. It will bring that big region many miles closer to the river and Im proved roads southward trill further help the cause along. The towns of Echo. Stan field and Her mist on will find their natural port at Umatilla and they are already at work on the problem of a better road way. In that undertaking they are entitled to and will have the generous support from Pendleton and other sections. (letting the benefits of the open river Is a common cause and the task must be carried out with that end In view. That plan Is the best that will serve the largest section at the small est cost It will be a large undertak ing with great benefits for the goal. To win it will be necessary for the people to get together and do some hard work. If our laws are lacking we must make up for that defect with increased vim and enthusiasm. The question of getting the full re sults from navigation on the Colum bia is the biggest topic before the people of Umatilla county. The East Oregonlan has confidence that when they have fully Investigated and con sidered the meaning of the open river the people will know what to say and they will say It without stuttering. CURRENT THINKING PARIS AND THE COMMUNE The surrender of Paris to the Ger man host was followed by one of the strangest and most horrible events In modern history, the uprising of the Communists. The French As sembly, elected during the armlslioe granted by the Germans, agreed to the hard terms dictated by lilwmark But the decision did not meet with the favor of the Paris populace, es pecially the clause which allowed the conquerors to march through the streets, of the fallen capital. Civil war broke out, and under the eyes of the German troops the French government and the Paris mob fought for the possession of Paris The presence of the conquerors did riot rouse feelings of humiliation In the breasts of the fighters. It seemed merely to fan their passions to more terrible lust for blood, and for the third time within a century the atreet of Paris ran red with blood of French men slam by Frenchmen. Intense radicals will always main tain that the horrors of the Commune v.-ere brought on by the malignity of the conservatives; supporters of la and order at any cost will always WOMEN'S M ERODE UNDERWEAR below cost, FIN EST QUALITY.

To the fair-j m'nded historian who surveys the! episode at a safe distance of year it is Impossible to reproach one group more than the other, and for sheer savagery neither the mob nor the government can be absolved from cruelties that were wholly Inhuman. The working men who hnd been enrolled in the National Guard for the defence of Parts opposed the government, which was removed to Versailles. Two generals were seiz ed by the mob and shot. Throughout April, 1871. Paris was practically an independent state, refusing allegiance! to the govrnment and ruled over by committees of the revolutionists. But the socialists from the government that was established waa not allowed time to determine whether It would prove satisfactory to the Parisian populace. Fighting between the riv al factions broke out In the suburbs, but not until May 21 were the gov ernment troops ready tamove upon the city, which had not yet recovered from the long siege carried out by the Germans. Returned prisoners from German) were enrolled In the government f - jr - ces until a formidable army had been raised. The flehtlne that followed was more desperate than any reals- . . . ..' tance that had been orrerefl to tne Germans, heroic .as that resistance had been. Once more Paris experienced a reign of terror. The leaders of the Commune murdered hostages and scores of Innocent men. Just as the Bastlle had been levelled during the revolution, the Hotel de Vllle, the Tullerles and other famous buildings were burned. Barricades were thrown up In all the prlnclpaUstreets. guarded by the cannon which had been used In the TOO BUSY TO BE STRONG SUFFRAGETTES MISS HELEN MAteoT NEW YORK, March 12.

The most fu mous sections of the beautiful city so well known to Americans were made shambles. Into ditches dua- In streets In the heart of Paris were flung hundreds of wounded; women and children were massacred by the government forces, drunk with d slre for blood. At last the city was won and the dead, at least 20.000 were burled. Then the government proceeded to Institute a new reign of terror as horrible as that of the Commune. Nearly 40,000 persons were arrested, of whom 1200 died In conseqence of Inhuman or carelescs treatment! Law was disregarded, many men were put to death, 7500 persons were transported and nearly as many condemned to prison.

St but even they think that they can do a few things and especially work metals as skillfully as anybody. A century or two ago, according to a folk tale current in Russia, the gos sudar (the czar) called together a dozen or more peasants who had a reputation for skill In the working of metals and exhibited to them a steel flea, of natural size, which had been "made In Germany" and hud been sent to htm, partly as a gift and part ly to show the delicacy of the Ger man smith's work. The gossudar handed It to the peasants on a plute and said: ."Look at that! Tou think that you ran work metals; but I don't believe there's one of you can duplicate that steel flea," The peasants said, "Perhaps not, batushka (little father), but If you wltl let us take the flea home, we will see what we can do.'' The czar consented and they retir ed. A day or two later they reap peared, and with low waist bows pre sented to their monarch on a plate the same German flea, but without the expected duplicate. "Ah!" said the czar. "You couldn't make another. I know you couldn't." "Will your majesty deign to look at the flea through a magnifying glass?" replied the peasants. A glass was brought, and upon close Inspection It waa found that the Rus sian metal workers had shod the Ger man flee with steel shoes. PAID FOR HIS WHISTLE.
