Selected. SOLDIER, JUDGE AND STATESMAN r N an address before the U Wisconsin legislature yes terday ex-President Taft praised President Wilson for the wise policy of strict neu trality he has so conscientious ly followed during the war. On the same day Col. Roose velt was quoted in a Paris pa per as declaring that had he been president last summer he would have sided with the al lies and demanded that Ger many keep out of Belgium. The utterances of these two! men strikingly illustrate their widely different characteris tics. One is a judge, the other a soldier at heart. Each is sin cere and entitled to esteem but the country has a more bal anced man than either now in the White House. . Wilson is a statesman. "BONDS! BONDS! BONDS! BONDS!" -lEFORE the gravity water jy system was an accomplish ed fact in Pendleton there was frequent and vociferous criticism from a certain quar ter that the people were being burdened to their very death with bonds. Taxes would be raised, the water would be no good and only the Lord knew what would happen if the Thorn Hollow project was built. But taxes have not been raised and there was never the slightest chance the tax levy would be affected by the water system. The water is good. In surance charges have been cut. The saving in operating cost under the new water sys tem is so great that the board finds it possible to meet all ex penses and provide a sinking fund without advancing rates. On top of this the people are allowed to use 25 per cent more water' at the same old price, which means that rates are actually reduced. Pendleton finds that a first class water system costing al most $300,000 is cheaper, even when interest charges and sinking fund are considered, than was the little old disease generating water system we formerly used and which was so dearly beloved by the elec tric concern that pumped the water. Bonds! Bonds! Eonds! Bonds! THEY ALL ADVISE IT Tf N the course of a timely edi Jj torial urging the use of the Columbia river the Ore gonian this morning said: By building solid paved roads frori the back country to the river, over which auto trucks can haul heavy loads, we can render the river Inde pendent of railroads as feeders. The Walla Walla people pointed the way when they unnounced their purpouM to build such a road from their city. On Its merits the Columbia should be used as the greatest water highway. If we use it, we shall have the most con vincing argument to Induce the gov ernment to extend that highway. The same advice regarding the building of roads to the river comes from every quarter. That line of action is advised by J. N. Teal, the man who led the long campaign to overcome the barrier at Celilo He is a man in whom the peo ple may have confidence with reference to the subject. Governor Withycombe has been emphatic in his recom mendation that roads be built to the river so as to serve as feeders to the boat lines. Con gressman Sinnott urges this line of action upon different eastern Oregon counties. These men have a grasp of the subject and they are not mistaken in their advice. The problem is not complicated. It is very elementary. Common sense shows plainly that if we are to receive the advantages of the river we must be able to reach the waterway. Noth ing could be simpler or more logical. WHAT CAN CHINA DO? eyVtHAT will China be able yjj to do for herself if Ja pan should decide on war in order to force conces sions from the oriental repub lic?

Numerically the Chinese out number the Japaneoe five to one. In that respect the situ ation is favorable to China. In military preparedness the Jap anese vastly excel. In the last war between the two countries China fell an easy prey to Ja pan because Japan had soldiers and equipment while China did not. Since that time China has made great strides forward, something of an army was de-' veloped under Japanese and German instruction. The revo lution and the subsequent de fense of the republic against internal attack gave the Chi nese some modern military ex perience. The new rrovern- ment has been stamping out the opium habit and making the people more efficient, in a military way and otherwise. Consequently the Chinese might surprise the world by putting up a real defense against Japanese invasion. But such cannot be reasonably ex pected. The weak spot in China's position will be lack of war supplies. Compared with Japan China is doubtless mis erably equipped foi war and having no navy would be in no position to protect the impor tation of munitions from abroad.

The spectacle of a foreign in vasion might serve to unite the Chinese as never before and cause them to battle with a fierceness and ability that would astonish everybody.
