of Pendleton and the goodj
name of the city here and j
abroad call for attention to
business on the part of the
voters. There is need of a
clean, honorable mayor and a
clean, honorable membership'
in the city council. There is1
Med of men concerning whom
there will be no mistrust as to,
purposes or ability; there is
need of men upon whom peo-j
pie may rely for honesty andj
good faith with reference to
law enforcement.
Men and women of Pendle
ton, meet your duty in this
matter.
TOO MUCH CONCEIT

TO IMMORTAL-1TY.
Immortal life is something to
be autrned
By slow self -conquest, comrade
ship ttith pain.
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.

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.

T timent of the public is
antagonistic to its per
sonally conducted "western

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

(Atlanta Constitution.)
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.

European stocks of wheat were

ot Inducing American producers to
accept the low price offered. The
growers railed to respond to these

the necessity of either immediately
purchasing wheat or facing famine
later.
