results can be obtained by
keeping in reach of both mar
kets. But the farmer is not the
only man interested in this
road project. The merchants
of Pendleton and of the other
towns have a vital interest at
stake also. Walla Walla is go
ing to have the advantage of
a river road. Umatilla county
towns must do likewise or pay
the penalty.
The Cold Springs road pro
ject is one in which farmers
and businessmen should unite
and must unite to make it win.
It is a big undertaking but the
goal is worthy of the effort.

LNNESOTA has an ef

commission and it has
just made public its report.
Strange to say this commission
does not share the views of
those who enacted the Moser
spoilsmen's law in Oregon.
Instead of recommending
that all state employes big and
little be subject to instant re
moval when they displease pol
iticians in office or gangsters
out of office the Minnesota
commission advises that with
the exception of the heads of
institutions all other officials
and employes be permanently
engaged and that their selec
tion be by means of merit rules,
Evidently the
commission has been
peons should be content in
their slavery.
Some people in this country
sympathize with the peon in
his strugle for freedom. Others
favor the other side and are
ready to excuse barbarism and
injustice when used in defense
of an upper class.
If we should go to Mexico to
settle the troubles in that coun
try would our own people
agree as to which side we
should favor? If we ourselves
cannot agree as to what should
be done there how can anyone
advise this country to inter
vene and how can we censure
the Mexicans if they disagree
and are forced to settle the is
sue by the sword?

Northern Pacific a bonus
of $25,000 to get them to build

Railroads render a great ser

and the reasons will be obvi

man or child.
As Mr. Harrah says, what
this county needs is a publicly

the river with a public dock at
the other end. Such an ar

THE M EXICA NSTRUGGLE.
OME of our tory newspa
pers try to imagine the
United States is obligat
ed by the Monroe doctrine to
invade Mexico and take the
burdens of that country upon
our shoulders.
When did the Monr6e doc
trine take on any such mean
ing? The Monroe doctrine re
lates to possible acquisition of
American territory by Eupo
pean nations. It does not for a
moment require this country to
take charge of the various
revolutions occurring from
time to time in the republics of
Central and South America.
The Mexican revolution is a
local struggle. It is primarily
a contest between peon and
aristocrat. The peons feel they
are entitled to some rights and
to some share of happiness.
The aristocrats who have ac
quired control of resources
through fraud, deception and
often by legalized murder un
der Diaz feel they should stay
in the saddle and that the1
ment, not by any boss ridden
state.
The people of the inland
empire stand to get the bene
fits of the open Columbia river
and the case of the Morns and
Essex canal will give an inkling
as to what those advantages
will be. No railroad would
spend $14,000,000 to keep a
canal closed unless it h'ad some
reason for its action.

(C. N. F. in The New York Times.)
"Die Wacht am Rheln." which Is
the German national hymn and Is be
ing sung now by all Teutons, whether
at home or on the battlefields, was
written by a certain Max Schnecken
burger, who was born In the little
town of Thalhelm In Wurttemberg.
Hchneckenburger was a druggist's as
sistant In Bern w hen he composed the
poem In 1840.
At that time, says The Neue Frele
VrtKMH, France was voclferlously de

German patriotic songs began to be

Its own, the report shows that In the
poorest sections of the city the death
rate -was 271 per 1000 or more than
five times that In the best resident-'

Babies whose fathers earned $10 a
week or less, the report says, died at
the rate of 256 per 1000, while those
whose fathers earned 125 or more
a week died at the rate of 84 per
1000. Artificially fed babies died at
a much more rapid rate than breast
fed babies. Only 46.6 babies per l.
000 died under one year of age when
breast fed for at least three months
as against 165.8 per 1000 who died
fed with artificial foods. I
When the mothers were employed
a large part of the time In heavy
work babies died at a rapid rate. In
one group of 19 mothers whose ba
bies all died, 15 had been keeping
lodgers. In houses where water had
to be obtained from the outside the
death rate was found to be 198 per

houses where water was supplied by

EGINNING Monday, March twenty-second,
and continuing during the week we
will have our annual one dollar window.
(From Tlt-Blta.)
If ever the disarmament of the

countrlea that will not have much toj a
do in that line, such as, for Instance,
Monaco, the army of which compris
es 75 guards, 75 carbineers and 20
firemen.
Another diminutive army Is that
of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg,
which numbers 135 gendarmes, 170
volunteers and 20 musicians. The
republic of San Marino can put in 13

consisting of 950 men and 38 offl- g

If you are not familiar with our custom of
having a dollar window in March every year,
we are pleased to say that this is an annual
affair in which we display in our windows
two or three hundred articles selected from
our stock which sell from one to five dollars.
We sell any one of these articles for. one
dollar and you have the choice.
In selling these articles at one dollar we are losing on the
value of them but in another way we do not feel as though we
are making a great sacrifice.
You will be glad to purchase some of these things for one
dollar and we are glad to sell them to you so that we can re
place them with new stock which we will receive in April.
Our ultimate object is to keep a fresh and new
stock and you will appreciate that when you come
into our store to buy a commencement gift or a wed
ding present.
We have called this a dollar window but let us
change that and say A Dollar Display, for we intend
to use both our windows using one for our china de
partment. ROYAL M. SAWTELLE
