And patient seeking after high er truths, Wa cannot follow our own way ward wills. And feed our baser appetites, and give Loose rein to foolish tempers, year on year, And then cry, "Lord, forgive me; 1 believe!" And straightway bathe in glory. Men must Ham God's system is too grand a thing for that. The spark divine dwella in our souls, and we Can fan It to a steady flame of light. Whose lustre gilds the pathway to the tomb And shine on through eternity ; or else Neglect It till it glimmers down to death, And leaves us but the darkness of the grave. Each conquered passion the living flame; Each well-borne sorrow- step towards" God. Ella Wheeler Wilcox feed.; is a THE CALL IS FOR HONOR ABLE MEN ejwHERE are few towns in Oregon more in the pub lic eye than Pendleton. This is due to the central loca tion of the city and to the tre mendous crowds that come here each year to see the Round-up. What sort of conditions will we have to present when they come next fall, the prohibition law being then in effect? Shall we have a clean government that enforces the law and ad ministers the business affairs of the town in a businesslike manner; shall we have a city government of which the citi zens of Pendleton will be proud? Or shall we have a state of affairs under which there will be bootlegging, graft and bed lam a situation concerning which the general run of citi zens will be ashamed? It is up to the citizenship of Pendleton to determine this matter. It is a real problem, not an imaginary one, that confronts the city. We are lacing the most important city election in vears. The welfare AtllTH reference to mili "fftr tary affairs there is too much conceit on the part of British and German alike. Each nation likes too well to pose as the "cock of the walk." Since the war broke out much has been pub lished showing the excessive feelings of German militarists with reference to who is able to whip the world. The English are just as con ceited, though their thoughts are of sea power rather than of strength upon the land. "The King's Highway" is a fa vorite rhyme with the English navy. "In a fair light air, in a dead foul wind. At midnight or midday, Till the good ship sinks her mids shall drink To the King and the King's highway." The boast is that the sea is the personal property of the English monarch. "Britannia rules the waves" is another slo gan. Such notions are not be coming in any nation. The world is large and wide and there are many nations having rights upon the sea. The Lord did not make the oceans for the exclusive pleasure of John Bull or anyone else. In upholding the welfare of the United States President Wilson has been forced to call both German and British to ac- ennnfr arirl fn naming Thpm that 1 thre are other people on the globe aside from those at war. It is a needed line of action, not only from our standpoint, but from a world standpoint. THEIR GAME IS UNDERSTOOD the matter is that the confer ence and the Oregonian favor water power grabbing for mo nopolistic benefit but wish to be smooth about the matter. The public, however, is fairly awake to such business and is calling a spade a spade. It is no longer possible for the in terests and their subservient newspapers to hoodoo the people with their old-time claptrap. Within a short time the country will have something better than submarines to read about when the Boston Americans and the Philadel phia Nationals make their fall drive to settle the world's championship. You still have time to regis ter if you make haste; don't be one of the disfranchised on election day. Something spectacular was expected of Baker but who would have thought of their arranging a earthquake? - - - Pendleton women will play an important part in the com ing election; the first step is to register. CURRENT THINKING -NOT OIK LOOKOIT, gfWNDING the general sen-j T timent of the public is antagonistic to its per sonally conducted "western waterpower conference" the Portland Oregonian tries to say the conference did not up hold giving water rights in perpetuity to private corpora tions. But with some sugarcoating so as to make the pill more palatable that is exactly what the waterpower conference ad vocated. The "conference" voted down Senator Walsh's resolution favoring the leasing system and having done so may be logically regarded as favoring the other course be cause there are only two lines of action under consideration. The simple explanation of I Dodge Brothers I 1 ROADSTER A roadster designed to be all that a roadster should be.

If merchants in Copenhagen, or any other neutral European port, or der goods from the United States, and particularly merchandise which cannot be classed as war contraband, why should American merchants be made to suffer because of Englisii belief that the Copenhagen mer chants intende subsequently to ship them Into Germany? From a standpoint of justice and internatioal law it is Impossible to account for that feature of the re cent English prize court decision, de claring forfeited to the crown some 13.000.000 worth of American meat and other products shipped from thlt country upon orders received from Copenhagen, a recognized neutral port. Concerning this phase of these case, the English prize court says: "It was plain that these ships were carrying towards Copenhagen, when captured, thirteen times the amount of goods which, under normal cir cumstances, would have been taker, to that port." That may have been very true, and yet it does not justify seizure and for. feiture of our goods, simply upon belief that although bound for a neutral port, they were destined for England's enemies. It strikes us that the problem of the disposition of these goods Is one for Great Britain to take up with Copenhagen. Our contract is con cluded when we have delivered them to the consignees in that neutral port It is none of our lookout if Copenhagen orders a hundred tlmei as much meat in one year as she would ordinarily take; neither Is It any of our business what she does with it after It Is received and paid for. But It Is very much of our bus ness to see that our commerce with neu tral ports Is not interfered with vp on the high seas, In violation of the laws of nations. and because of somebody's belief about Its ultimate destination. It Is not a question of ultlmcte destination with which we have to deal, but of direct orders from mer chants in neutral ports for legiti mate articles of commerce which they are privileged to order In any extent they see fit. In rendering Its decision the Eng lish prize court has placed British expediency above International law f.nd treatv agreement. The court has connived with the government In the violation of solemn treaty obli gation and American producers bf come the victims of this subversion of law and justice It is the clear duty of the Ameii can government to enter vigorous protest against this unwarranted at tack upon American rights. We have no question that when the prop er time comes President Wilson wlU put it as clearly up to England ns he has done in the case of Germany. The majority of the American p rde undoubtedly sympathize with Bngland in the present conflict; hut England cannot hope to hold that svmpnlbv bv piratical depredations upon American commerce. rxi'sr.1, WHEAT MOVEMI NT.

European stocks of wheat were never so small at this period of the season. The buying movement from the other side was delayed for an On usualb extended period in the hopes ot Inducing American producers to accept the low price offered. The growers railed to respond to these offers and Europe therefore faced the necessity of either immediately purchasing wheat or facing famine later. in order to marry you?" queried Hall.
