N Issue of decided interest Jl, to all is that presented by the request of the trans continental railroads that they be allowed to make interior terminal rates with a view to offsetting transportation com petition through the Panama canal. Instead of standing hand in hand with the coast terminals s they have done in the past the railroads now appear anxi jpui to build up interior distrib uting points in the back haul rone. The idea seems to be to 1 1 w give such places as Spokane and doubtless Pendleton such low rail rates from the east that these towns will be able to com pete with the coast jobbers who secure their merchandise via the canal. What the outcome of the move will be remains to be seen. The contention is reas onable that the charge for a short haul should not be great er than for a long haul and therefore it may be argued with good sense that interior points are entitled to rates as low as those given the coast cities, if not lower. Yet the same arguments will apply all along the line. So if rates are reduced to this territory wont points farther east demand similar reductions? The whole matter seems to hinge on the extent to which the interstate commerce com mission will permit the rail roads to alter their rates so as to save themselves from loss of business through the canal. If allowed to do so they can pro tect themselves. Also they can seemingly protect their traffic more effectively by building up new interior terminals than by reducing rates to the coast ter minals. It is easy to under stand why. If they had to meet water competition at the coast they would probably have to do so at a loss. By meeting the enemy some dist ance inland they place him at a disadvantage because of the rail charges from seaport to in terior. It i3 good strategy. If Pendleton is given rates from the east lower than those granted Portland and at the same time connects with the open river so as to secure the advantages of the low ocean rates this will become the most favorable situated town in Ore gon from a transportation standpoint. The developments in, the transportation game are going to be worth watching. SETTLED AT LAST. ft HE strangest thing about X. the decision as to who is mayor of Pendleton is that such a decision by the su preme court was made neces sary. To a layman the wording of1 015.00 to 830.00 FESIGNERS who head the profession, tailors that are the most highly skilled in the sartorial art, have given their best thoughts and efforts to attaing the high style ideals in these clothes. Not an approved fashion idea but what is ex pressed, many are original and exclusive in these superb garments. The air of "Difference" of "Originality", of "Individuality" in these clothes make them THE CLOTHEb for "Young Men and Men Who Stay Young." They are here in colors to harmonize with face, fancy and "KNAPP-FELTS" "STETSON" $4.00 to $5.00 the city charter makes it very plain it was intended the chair man of the council, who at Mayor Matlock's death was Mr. Dyer, should take the may or's chair if for any reason the mayor should be unable to serve out his term of office. On the theory that law is common sense there should never have been any question as to the right of Mr. Dyer to take the position on the death of the mayor. The fact the point was raised indicates there was some doubt in the minds of certain eastern lawyers as to whether judicial decisions would follow the dictates of common sense in Oregon. There may have been some grounds for that suspicion but happily all doubt is now dis pelled and we may proceed with the city's affairs a3 usual. AS ONE FOREIGNER US. SEES w T is interesting to note the J I comments made upon our country by people from ' other lands, even ihough we may have little regard for what they say. Here is what' one "interned" foreigner thinks of our country : . "America cannot last longer j than two centuries (1776-1 1976). and that is a short life1 for a land. America cannot i last because it is no nation. It j is a loose conglomeration of various nationalities. It is a mob of money-making masters ! and would be money-making slaves. Firmness of founda tion, soundness and solidity of construction are lacking in this building. It has been built in haste and hurry to appear grand and mighty even as a aXrvanrmnar fViof locfa Viiif "half a ! DnjOVaRJVl bllUV A (AO La? WUb 11U1A St century. It has faced no storm in its present form and experi enced no' earthquake. I am afraid that the first storm and the first earthquake that come will reduce its height and shake its foundation irrep.ir-J ably." j It is surprising what this par- j ticular foreigner means by; staying in such a pesky country, j Why does he not fly at once to Europe where according to his notions the foundations of so-: ciety are firm and sound. Firm' until someone comes along Mew all their glory new, with a cannon and shoots the foundation off its pins or moves the national boundary lines. It is a poor time for f oreeign ers to talk about the inability cf this country to endure. If the gods should prepare an in ternational table of mortality just now Uncle Sam would get a high rating for life expect ancy. If not who would? MAKE SURE OF A FREIGHT ROAD. TrjfF the Good Roads execu Jj tive committee wish to put up a proposition war win win let them look first of all to a road to the Columbia that will reduce freight rates. When the bonding propo sition is before the people it will be attacked on the ground we cannot afford so much money for road work. The most effective answer will be to show that the road work proposed will lower freight rates sufficiently to more than justify the expense. It is an argument that will carry con viction with it. It would be difficult to pass a bond issue in this county merely to provide roads that would make travel more com fortable. The people would be excusable for refusing to go in to debt for the sake of a lux ury. But they will gladly go in debt if they can make big money by doing so and this they will be able to do if they build a hard surface road to the Columbia. CURRENT THINKING THE ( ENSl'S OP HELL. . The Rev. William A. Sunday re cently taking a census of hell, re ported he found among Its popula tion the following: Pharoah, Vol taire, Nebuchadnezzar, Huxley, Jexe bel, John Stuart Mill, Nero, Tyndall, Judas, Thomas Paine, Attlla, Inger soll, Louli XIV, Rousseau, Louis XV, Ivan the Terrible, Mme. Pompadour, Catherine de Medlul, Mme. de Monte span and Mme de Malntenon. It Is wondered how he came to overlook the claims of Caligula, Stephen Olrard, Napoleon, Dr. Chan ning and Alaric the Goth. And what of Cain? Hut the subject is not altogether without Its serious aspect. Such BOND Spring IHaf novel, distinctive, in y m TIKI KM PENDLETON'S LEADING CLOTHIERS methods as this are nothing more man grist to the mill of the skeptic Those Christians who are at all schooled In the faith may well plead to the Jurisdiction of the court In this case. It can know nathlnr nf the state of those whom It condemns t-j torment. But the worst of such Judgments Is that they show an utter lack of Christian temner. A rood many years before Mr. Sunday was born, a great poet dealt with the same theme, thus: Let not this weak, unknowing hand Presume thy bolts to throw. And deal damnation round the land, On each I Judge thy foe. Teach me to feel another's woe. To hide the fault I see; That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me. It is all very foolish, of course, and as wrong as it Is foolish. The pray er of Alexander Pope should be the prayer of every Christian, especially when he is disposedas fortunately few people are to anticipate the de crees of the Almighty. "We still have Judgment here," and that Is quite enough. It Is, and must be, based very largely on actions, for of motives little can be known. As these are an important factor a char acter, an absolutely Just appraise ment cannot be made by fallible man since he Is not able to search the heart. COVERED FACE Head and Ears of Child.
