LAUDS REPLIES
E BY SCHOOL
WON'T ATTEID
In the following signed statement
made today Superintendent J. 8. Lan
ders takes Issue with the Pendleton
school board over their statement
made yesterday.
To the Editor East Oregonian:
Believing that the statement of the
school board appearing in your paper
of last evening requires a response
from me, may I beg the courtesy of
your columns to state my position In
",e ''re8?nl controversy:
It has been neither my
wish nor
my purpose to become a factor In any
thing that would cause community!
discord. Nothing has been farther
The board said In Its first sentence,
"many people have been misled by
one statement or another regarding
the controversy." I agree that such
has been the case. For instance, on
1,,Bt -Tuesday evening at the meeting
of ,ne "oard. ln which the committee
Presented its petition, two of the
i members, notwithstanding the written
record before them to the contrary,)
reiterated the assertions they had

minutes or tne meetniKs in wnicn
teachers were elected, nrnve that the!
i salary In 1910 was fixed at $2250 and
remained at that amount until last
full when It was raised to $2400.
This shows that the increase was for j
$150 and not for II'O. I do not wish
to say that the board deliberately
misstated the facts, for, in truth, thej

S( h""' hlar'' in tho'r intention that
f'a"w of n,-v rPsi-rnatnn was
uieir onjecuun to my part in tne pro
hibition campaign; nor that it was
because of my interest In the Bulgln
meetings. The board stated that such
a claim Is wholly false. My resigna
tion last fall certainly was presented
because the board told me that the
people were objecting to my activity
In the prohibition campaign, and that
they had not forgotten my activity In
the revival meetings last February.
The following are the facts regard
ing the offering of the resignation and
the reason therefor:
One day In the latter part of Au
gust or early September, the chairman
of the board. W. E. Brock, called me
to his office for a conference. H
explained that certain men had been
to him and other members of the
board protesting against mv making
the addresses in support of the pro-
hibltlon cause, and that the neonle
were very seriously objecting to my
actions. He further stated that these
criticisms together with those made
upon the part I took in the Bulgin
meetings had created a situation so
serious that unless I ceased at once.
he would resign from the board. I
told him that I would not go out to
make further addresses. It was to
this conference the board referred In
their article when they state that I
thoroughly nereed with them that mv
actions had "been at least lll-advlsed.'1
It Is true that I did say to him that
"In representing the whole commu
nity'1 I probably should not have
done It. And I still believe that I
should not have done it had I ex-
pected to please everybody, One in
ir"10" h"r.:''! rre: ir.!r

wish it to be understood that I re-1
gret having endeavored to exercise'
my rights of freedom of belief and
of speech as a citizen. Being a teach
er does not necessarily disqualify one
from representing any worthy cause.
But I do regret that there was suf
ficient difference of opinion at this
point to cause a breach between my
self and the board. At that time, Mr.
Brock and other members of the
board did not hesitate to make clear
their attitude on the prohibition
question That we differed, Is in)
more my fault than theirs. It was
doubtless merely an honest difference

BERLIN, June 12. The rejoinder
of the United States is now In the.
hands of the kaiser. It was cleared
from Berlin over the military tele
graph lines to the Gallcian front
ahead of all other dispatches, upon
orders of the emperor himself.
In transmitting the "note the for
eign office made no comment It U
understood to be the desire of the
foreign minister, Vou Jagow, to have
the kaiser communicate his Impres
sions of the note to Berlin before the
foreign office makes any tentative
suggestions of a reply. The friendly
phrasing of the note has removed the
apprehension felt among Americans
In Berlin.
WASHINGTON, June 12. That
the president has placed the I'nited
States squarely before the warrina;
factions of Europe as a mediator and
thai Germany's acceptance of the
president's demand for a guarantee of
safety for Americans from submarine
attacks may open the way to peace,
was the belief generally expressed in
official circles. With the rejoinder in
the hands of the kaiser, It was upon
the possibilities of peace that the dis
cussion here hinged. In all quarters
the snirit of nntlmlRm va auljani
to ,he tesues between this government
and Germany and broader possibiii-
ties were generally discussed The
president has suggested that the L'ni

Britain, tending to remedy the con
ditions of war upon the seas. He
therefore has lined the United States
up squarely as a mediator.
