FINE WORK, KEEP IT MOV-ING. rf OR the excellent manner f in which the county wide was organized yesterday and for the vigor and thoroughness with which it has entered up on its work the people of Uma tilla county are to be congratu lated. There is going to be something doing and it will be real business. The most consipcuous fea ture of the gathering yester day was the spirit of fair play and harmony that was in evi dence at all times. It was an open and above board affair attended by representative men from all sections and they worked with effectiveness and sincerity for a common cause. It is the spirit that will win. Of much significance was the unanimity of sentiment for the bonding' plan. Our people are tired and sick of mere road talk. They want results and they don't want to wait 1000 years to get them. They know the bonding plan offers the only solution and they voted yesterday to take that route. When the subject i3 laid be fore the people and properly explained it is going to meet with their approval. It is a big undertaking it is true but the goal is worth the effort. It is not going to be a question of expense but rather a question of economy. It is a fact that can be proved that the possibilities of benefit through connecting with the open river are so great we can not afford to do without them. When transportation costs are considered the lack of proper roads in this county will cost us 10 times as much as will good highways. It is a case where frugality calls for road better ments. The extravagant man is the fellow who wishes to stand still and let the golden chance for reduced freight rates go hang. Can we afford such extravagance when as Mr. Harrah showed yesterday it is reasonable to suppose that a hard Burface road from the cen ter of this county to the Co lumbia can save the people 1320.000 a year. The feature that makes the East Oregonian enthusiastic j for a genuine good roads pro gram is the fact there is a chance to promote comfort and nodal development in this county and at the same time make money through reduc tions in freight costs. It is a proposition that should appeal and will appeal to everyone when the facts become under stood. COME HI'tHEM OUT. -jy F it is only a question of Jl $900 between a natatori urn that will be aa desired and one that will be lacking in aome necessary details the so lution to the problem should be simple. Raise the balance of money needed. The natatorium is going to be a splendid addition to Pen dleton. It is going to be in use for many years. While you are building ,it built it right. The satisfaction ot having a finished job will be well worth the small additional sum need ed. There are scores of people here who have not yet contrib uted Jo the natatorium fund who can afford to do so. It is an improvement that will be an especial Llessing to the boys and girls of the town. If you have n.ot yet contributed now is the time to come forward and do your part. If the commit tee does not find you, go find the committee. THE INJUSTICE OF IT. HE-woman-parent of the Vi child is entrusted with its care from its birth. She sees it everv riav. nnrl u-nfrhos lit through the night. She sees its inclinations and talents i from the beginning. She hears the lessons at home at night, i and the responsibility of the I child is hers in the school as surely as it is in the home. She begins to see a weakness in the ! training of the child. She goes to the school room and finds it i overcrowded. She finds the light reaches the desk from the j wrong angle. She sees the j ventilation of the room-is bad, land she finds tha.t the child j lacks the school facilities and comforts necessary for its right training. She feels the great responsibility of the little "fu ture citizen." There is no mother on the school board to give her ex perience, her investigation, her life-study of the child and his needs. No, she can bear it; she can rear it, minister fa it when it is sick; it is entrusted to a woman teacher. The mother is given all the responsibility of the child, and not one iota of authority in the care of the school system. Why should the individual who bears and rears the child not be eligible to act on the board, which decides how that child is to be further equipped lor life? Why, when the beauty of the home and its surrourdings is given over entirely to women should not the women be en trusted with the direction ot the community parks and have their representation on civic boards, looking to the care of playgrounds? Why. when women have been called since the beginning of time 'the ministering angels" of humanity; when their nat ural gifts for looking after the sick and dependent carry them to the very home of the leper; to the very brink of the trenches of war, where strong men would tremble to go, why should women not be on the board that looks out for the hospital facilities of a city? The injustice of it this primitive dealing with the wo man of today in public affairs, makes one wonder who is re sponsible. The moment a great puDiic movement is inaugurated, where the public welfare is in volved, the first cry is for the women to help. I hey do it w the best of their ability. i But when they ask a hand in the official direction of the children's education and of their playgrounds and parks, the politicians tell them "This is no work for women. It's all wrong. And sooner or later it will be righted sooner if the women themselves get busy. Atlanta Constitu tion. shelter of the despised dirt. The ship's eaptatn felt that he owed Lee an apology, and made a handsome oie. Well, captain Lef," he stammered, "I reckon you were right. I suppose the dirt did save some of my boys from being killed or wounded, but you know we sailors have no us for dirt banks on shipboard. All we want is a clear deck and a.n open sea. The fact Is, captain, I don't like this land fighting, anyway. It Isn't clean. "-The Youth's Companion. TIMNSTOKMED. Just when the blissard eings his song Comes a sweet spring day along, Lights the world from east to west, Pins a rose upon his breast; Then the heavens cease to weep. Then the storm is lulled In sleep. After all the bitter strife Love Is love and life Is life. II. Just when our sorrows seem to be A burden to Eternity; When hope from life Is all with drawn A weary way from dark to dawn; Then a star shines through the mist, The shadowed sky grows amethyst; The lilies where the thorns were rife, And Love is love and life Is life. THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN WHAT HE WANTED. Arthur H. Engelbach. In his col lection of anecdotes of the bench, tells this story about Lord Braxfield, who was among the last of the Scotch judges who rigidly adhered to the broad Scotch dialect: "Ha ye ony counsel, mon?" he said to the prisoner, when placed at the bar. "No," was the reply. "Do ye want to ha'e ony appoint It?" continued the Judge. "No," said the man. "I only want an Interpreter to make me under stand what your lordship says." CURRENT THINKING REMINISCENCE OF R- E. LEE. The American troops who occupied Vera Cruz last year were the second body of our soldiers to enter the city within a century. When it was be sieged in the Mexican war, Capt Robert E. Lee, afterwards the. com mander in chief of the confederate army, was ordered to throw up breastworks to defend a battery man ned by the Jackie of a man of war. Lee put the tar into the trenches, and soon had the dirt flying, but the sailor did not labor cheerfully. They resented having to shovel dirt and their captain remonstrated openly with Lee. "My men," be said, "do not want mud banks to hide behind; Just let them get out and at the enemy." But Lee would not listen, and the tar sweated away at the shoveling. Presently the Mexican opened fire at the very point thus protected, and the sailors were glad to seek the THE ANSWERS MIXED. Two correspendents wrote to a New England country editor desiring to know, respectively, "the best way of assisting twins through the teeth ing" and "how to rid an orchard of grasshoppers." The editors answered both ques tions faithfully, but, unfortunately, got the Initials mixed, so that the fond father of the teething twins was thunderstruck by the following ad vice: "If you are unfortunate enough to be plagued by these unwelcome little pests, the quickest way of settling them is to cover them with straw and set It on fire." The other man, who was bothered with grasshoppers, was equally am azed to read. "The best method of treatment la to give each a warm bath twice a day and rub their gums with India rubber," WHERE MEN ARE SCARCE. At a social affair In Boston the sub ject of marriage came up for discus sion. "Speaking of marriage," remark ed one of the women guests, "I could never quite understand one of the biblical references to It." "To which one do you particularly refer, Mrs. Jones " asked another of the guests. "About marrying In heaven," an swered Mrs. Jones, thoughtfully. "Why do you suppose there is no marrying in heaven?" "That's an easy one!" promptlj chipped In a sarcastic matron. "I don't suppose there is a man In the place.' ROAD MEETING. (Continued from page one.) had been proposed by C. O. Brownell of the Umatilla delegation. W. W. Harrah was also nominated but de clined in favor of Mr. Robinson, who accepted the post after a vain request, that some one else be chosen. For vice president Frank Sloan and C. A. barrett were nominated an! the ballot resulted In favor of the Stanfield man who received 21 v.-tes to in for Mr. Barrett and four for Leon Cohen who had declined a nomination. secretary of the association by acclamation Executive Committee. One ot the most Interesting fea tures of the meeting was the election of the executive committee to which has been Intrusted the details of pre senting a bonding proposition to the people. It was decided to select an executive committee of seven. After several alternative suggestions had been voted down it was decided to make open nominations from the floor. The following were nominated for membership on the executive comml:- tee the list not Including n.:n-n n.n o n nnn pn-nnnnnfinin I m MAMCLM CM The Most T&lked-about Fine Car in the Country Today T HERE was a man Bishop Vincent, used to tell about who prayed that he might be come well enough off so that he could af ford to be economical. When it comes to the basis upon which we main tain either the necessities or the luxuries of life well-to-do people have an unquestioned advant age. It was the wellto-do man who first began to ap ply a mental taximeter to his heavy automobile and found the cost of mileage too high for what he got out of it. The fact that he could afford the expense bet ter than his neighbor never appealed to him as an argument. He disliked waste. That was one reason why he was well-to-do. Every time he looked at that big, heavy body, with its weight added to rigid construction, he knew it Was the cause of perpetual tire troubles and extravagant tire bills. He said, "What I want is a fine light car." That explains perhaps why such a large number of Franklin owners are of the well-to-do class of seasoned motorists. It should mean even more to the buyer of small means this ultimate economy of the Franklin. As for the new motorist, it should lead him to stretch a point, if necessary, in the matter of first cost. The man who best appreciates the Franklin is the man who has owned and operated another car any car. He has a basis for comparison. This determination of buyers to face the facts and get the figures has made the Franklin the fastest-selling fine automobile in America. This is why Franklins are coming into Oregon and Washington in train loads why the second train load has arrived within the last thirty days. It is not because the people here are extrava gant, but they "can afford to be economical" be cause they have learned to avoid waste. Be cause they look for ultimate economy instead of buying uneconomical things because the first cost is less. PRICE $2300, F. O. B. PENDLETON. Weight 2750 pounds (scale weight) Get the facts!
