The real Judas of the dental profes sion is the dentist, be he so called "Ethical or Advertiser," who willfully and maliciously lies and misrepresents to his patrons. If I tell you I can cure your mouth of pyorrhea, I will da it or it will cost you absolutely nothing. If I make a plate and that plate is not satisfactory after a reasonable trial your money will be refunded. We wont tell you that your mouth is too "flat" or make excuses. We don't sit back in a dark corner of our office like a spider in his lair waiting for a gullible public to come in and be tortured out of a few paltry dollars, but come out in the open and guarantee to make good or no pay. 1 "WHO'S THE JUDAS"?

The American people thought it a "crowning out rage" when in the war of 1812 the British captured and burn ed the city of Washington, the white house included. The people of the south thought Sherman's march to In the war now raging in Eu rope, Japan is ostensibly an al ly of Great Britain. With true Oriental cleverness, it sub scribed to the high ideals pro fessedly upheld in London. It was outraged by the oppress ion of Serbia. It was shocked by the wantonness of the Ger man invasion of Belgium.

Japan is taking advantage of the situation, much as some Christian nations similarly placed might do. In the quar rels of Christondom it finds its opportunity. To the aggres sion and bad faith of Western civilization it appeals for ex ample and instruction. A nominal ally, it assumes in its own case to make sure of the spoils of victory long in ad vance of victory or peace, not yet in sight so far as its breth ren in arms are concerned. Much is to be said in favor of Japanese influence in the Far East, wisely and justly ex erted, but there can be no de fense of Japanese arrogance Qnrl (TTaaA Jiinsn'o nnlipv in fact the East Oregonian ;China affront not only knows no law but the law of might. Anything will do that helps toward victory. We too have followed the sword and if fate should some time ordain that the United States must fight, the people will not falter. This is not a "peace at any price" nation. But our country is big enough to be tolerant and patient, particularly when it is plain that no offence toward thi3 country has been intended by Germany. Let peace be the wocd. We will fight when we have to and if war never darkens the land our glory will be the greater. SOUR GRAPES GALORE HERE has been consider- its allies but to the United States.

The businessmen of Pendle ton know the answer to that Wallula. But of course Pendleton, Athena and other towns can pass up their opportunity if they wish to do so. We can go to sleep and let Walla Walla and other places corral out trade. There is no law to com pel our people to be wide awake and progressive.

CURRENT THINKING AKCHAXOEL. Archangel, the oldest port of th RiiKxian t-muire. In a few weeks more will awake to vital war Importance; for, when the arctic ice clears from the White sea, Russia will be able to erimmunirate with her allies through a free Western port and to receive much needed war supplies and otner manufactures over a route thousands of miles shorter than that via Vladi vostok. Archangel is situated at the head of the Dvina delta, as far north as the northernmost shores of Hudson Hay. It 1b the largest and most im portant city in the world placed so near the Arctic Circle, says a bulletin issued by the National Geographical Society. The harbor of ArcVianirl Is optim istically said to be open from May to October. However, It Is only entirely fre; from ice during the months of July iind August although ln the aver age year, It 'is free for navigating pur Poses for a period some weeks longer. The city lies on the Dvina river, 2 miles from the White sea. it Is "40 miles northeast of St. Petersburg, and Is connected with the distributing cen ters of the interior by ra lway and canal. Not only is Archangel Interesting as a city In the extreme Far North, hut it is still more interesting as one of the most ancient cities built upon the fringe of eternal arctic whiteness, liefore the year 900. the Norsemen came here and traded. They laid the foundation of the present city, a city that has grown slowly but almost without halt, preserved In peace by lis isolated position in the North. The city has achieved Its present-day lm portance as an outlet for the products of the far northern and western parts of the Russian empire. During Its short season for naviga tion. Archangel is the busiest point In all the North. Eetween S00 and 1,000 vessels call here through the brief season. The total value of Imports and exports of Archangel amounts to about $5,000,000, and, this year un der war conditions, should amount to much more. The chief articles of traffic In peace times are fish, sklna furs timber, wax, Iron, tallow, brist les and caviar. MOVIE IIOISES KEEP PEOPLE IX THE CITY BY BEAU RIALTO. (Written for the United Press.) NEW YORK, May 11. Broadway theater goers who usually desert the Great White Way for the cooling sea side with the first flash of hot wea ther are still to be seen In the neigh borhood of Forty Second street and Broadway. This class of Manhattan's theatrical population, which In former ears has always neglected the bright lights at this time of the season are still lingering. And here's the se cret the motion picture theaters are the magnet. And It Is not alone the money that keeps these thousands of people In the heart of the city these scorching afternoons, although In many cases this consideration looms up mighty big, for the war has made it neces sary for almoBt everyone to econo mize. But the real explanation of the great crowds seen in Broadway In the hot weather Is that the "movie" hous es are often many degrees cooler than the streets. They are also nearer than the seashore and at the sAme time' entertaining. This has been made possible by the Installation of huge electric fans, which though they make considerable noise afford the audience cooling breezes the same as if they were cit ting on the sands at Coney Island. This Is possible of course, in a "movie" house where It would not be feasible in a regular theatre, for noise does not detract from the motion pictures. The electric fans make enough noise to drown out the normal speaking voice, but as speaking movies are not a part of Broadway's diet there Is not objectionable features to the latest device of the Broadway managers to intlce spectators. And besides the movie houses In the regular theaters, may of the roof gardens afford New Ydrkers, and Its thousands of dally visitors, a cool spot where they can be both comfortable and entertained. Managers of these amusement places say there seems no limit to the movie fan's appetite and although comedy Is their favorite al most any kind of a film, as long as it Is full of action, "goes." A MAN-POWKK KAII.ItOAD. The railroad that pays the biggest dividends on the capital Invested Is, according to the Technical World Ma gazine, the Grand Inland railroad. It Is In northern Alberta, Cannda, 200 miles from any trunk line or feed. It is only a quarter of a mile long and built of scrap Iron on wooden rails. Its rolling stock consists of two bat tered freight cars which are pushed along the road by the men who ship the freight, no locomotive being used. The freight that Is handled on this road consists principally of furs, which are towed up the Athabaska river on scows haulded by men. are laden on the cars, pushed down the railroad and shipped again on other scows, thereby circumventing the dangerous Grand rapids. Returning, the scows carry all sorts of freight for the Hudson Bay company's fac tories and are floated down the river. The Hudson Bay company charges (2.50 a ton for all freight on this lit tle railroad, and the shipper must handle his own goods and push the cars himself. RATHER A EOOI. QUESTION. The Inquisitive stranger saw a hearse start away from a house at the head of a funeral procession. "Who's dead?" he Inquired of the corner storekeeper, who was standing near his door, gazing at the convey ance. "Chon Schmidt.'' "John Smith!" exclaimed the cub. "You don't mean to say John Smith is dead?" "Veil, by hlmmel," said the grocer, "vot you dink dey doing mlt him practicing?" FROM THE PEOPLE WHAT IS A NEUTRAL?
