It is an at tempt to make a falsehood serve a political end. It is stu pid because it tends to depress wool prices at a time when the buyers are getting into the market. Woolbuyers would like to have the growers feel that were the war to close the price of wool would slump. Such a feeling by the growers would enable the buyers to make ad vantageous purchases. There fore the Oregonian is playing the buyers game and is hurt ing the interests of the industry i; falsely claims to support. As all men familiar with the facts understand, the best pro tection the woolgrower has consists in the fact there is a worldwide scarcity of wool. For some years the supply of sheep has been diminishing and the demand for wool in creasing. Recently one of the biggest sheepbuyers in the United States, Mr. Shurte of Chicago was in Pendleton and made mention of the pronounc ed shortage in mutton, predict ing high prices for sheep and wool as inevitable. During the wool season of 1914 there was not a cloud in sight to indicate war and the tariff on wool had been wholly wiped out. Yet good prices were paid for eastern Oregon wool and in some instances at Pilot Rock the prices paid had been unexcelled except in two instances in 25 years. Is not that convincing proof as to where the woolmen may look for protection? The Portland Oregonian should devote its time to aiding the electric trust and other "downtrodden." overcapitaliz ed combinations and leave our woolgrowers alone. They have had a hard winter, have paid out fortunes for feed and they deserve just prices for their wool this season.

Such a survey was made for the west end of the Kunty and the quadrangle ex tends as tar east as Horehoe lend. The survev dhows the complete topothaphy of the land in question, including the levations everywhere, the streams, canyons, hills, etc. It it su(ri?ested that a re quest should be made for a Mirvey of the quadrangle com- prising the central ai part of the county.

ROOSEVELT has been vociferious in criti cising the president for not taking a stand in behalf of Belgium when the country was invaded by Germany. In view of the colonel's position the Boston Post makes the follow ing gentle suggestion: If the continued attacks made by Colonel Roose velt upon the administra tion for neglecting to "act" when Belgium was invad ed by Germany mean anything at all. they mean that he thinks this country should have gone to war with the allies. In fact, the colonel has said so, without actually using the word "war." Now if he feels that his view is the view of the na tion, it would be very easy for him to try it out. If he were to run for presi dent upon the issue im mediate entry into the war for the redemption of Bel gium he would not only prove his sincerity in his assaults upon Mr. Wilson, but would get just the ex act proof of public senti ment that would do him good. It might be added that since the colonel has expressed his view that the government should rely for its armor plate and munitions upon privat0 factories he insert such a plank in his platform. It would be very pleasing to the gentlemen r, . T-. enator renrose reprcscuicu when he tried to bulldoze the T-nitorl s;tatP -tpnntp unon this subject. The Girl Who Works W I Davenport. Paatoi h.

The man who grows rich upon an Impoverish ed and debased womanhood must sooner or later pay for his blood' stained fortune. But the girl who works must re member that she owes her employer something. Pestiny lies largely, after all. In her own hands. Common honesty in common things is the most uncommon thing In the world The manufacturer has a certain standard to maintain, and the em ploye who helps to keep up that standard shares in the reputation of the man for whom she works. The still who is late to work or who fritters away her time in idle ness is as surely robbing her em pbiyer as though she took material '" his factory or office.
