C T. in San Francisco Star. with the Facific Fower & , Light Co. is something to be investigated carefully. There lis need of full publicity and 'consideration before action of any sort is taken. If the council enters into a 10 year agreement with the Facific Power & Light Co. does it mean we must forego for another decade the propositi on of modern lighting facili ties for our business streets? Does it mean we must fore go the benefits of any advance ment that may be made in il lumination during the next 10 years? Does it mean the city will be so obligated to the electric company as to preclude the es tablishment of a municipal light plant if one should be come advisable and desirable? These and other questions become pertinent in view of the light company's effort to ex tend its street lighting con tract Ten years is a long time and many things may happen within that period. No private user of electricity would like to bind himself upon this sub ject for such a term of years. Why should it be necessary for the city to do so? If the city council represents the people of Pendleton i will look thoroughly into this sub ject and ascertain' local wishes before going farther in the matter. THE STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT HE matter of tying up the city with a ten year street lighting contract dence will be clear that the American public is being held up by their papermakers. , If prices were due to a European demand Japan would have just as good a chance as Am ericans to get in on the war business. BESIDES THEY DON'T MEAN IT Jj ROSPERITY and peace 1J cause some people to worry for the nation's soul and future. They think a life of ease will make people flabby and cowardly. If such critics knew much they would not worry. They would then realize that the average citizen is not being spoiled by too much prosperity or too much ease. They would also realize that people who are surfeited with luxury are not the people who i would go to war if war should jcome. They would leave the ("blessing" to others. War does not strengthen or enrich ; ; it degrades and destroys. Of j all forms of lunacy the halluci j nation about war being a good ! thing for the country is the most difficult to understand. ANOTHER JAPANESE MENACE jjftEWS print paper has doubled in price since the beginning of the war and some other grades of paper have gone still higher toward the sky. There is curiosity as to how much of this advance has been due to supply and demand and how much to combination. Fur ther interest is aroused by a re port from Chicago that a rep resentative of a Japanese pa per manufacturing house is there to buy 65,000 tons of wood pulp, to be shipped to Japan, there made into paper and snipped back to the Unit ed States to be sold at figures below the Chicago paper pri ces. If this can be done the evi- PEACE AND LIBERALISM ftr HE Neutral, Conference j Committee which Messrs Schiff, Jordan and Vil- I nA nwi n in Trtn I iaiu ate fjiuiiiutmg iix xicvv xork nas for its chiet nome or stacle the fact that the ele ments in Europe most potent to postpone peace have in this country active and general sym- .pathy. I German liberal groups de sire a reasonable peace, but it (is not Germany that will say !when peace may be made; in the Entente the liberals are for jwar. The Jews, Poles, Finns ; and Ruthenian Uniates of Rus sia have more to hope from the 'popular war party than from , the reactionaries whom the de j posed Sturmer is accused of re . presenting. In Italy the popu lar pressure did not drive the government into war without a sharp struggle with Giolitti and his following in society and high finance. , France has the one ainTof .freeing her soil, including Al ' Race-Lorraine. As she can do this only with allies, she will stick to the end. British Tor ies are intent upon humbling Germany, but many of them sympathize with the Austro Hungarian purpose to crush democracy in the Balkans; they would curb democracy at home, kill Irish Home Rule and steal back their lost power for the Lords. British Liberals are resolved upon freeing the sup pressed Italian, Serb and Rou manian subjects of Charles I., and upon treating fairly even the Greeks and Bulgarians when map-making begins, so that another Berlin congress may not foster new wars by new iniquities. Their motto is "Thorough ; and Never Again." American democracy must feel with German liberals their wish for peace; with Entente liberals their desire for a peace that need not foment war. The vision of a People's Europe which the world's liberalism has seen it will not easily re linquish. Before the great re nunciation can come, more blood will flow. New York World. The Evening Telegram is still trying to rake enough money together to buy cup for Mrs. Hanley, of Hughes oratorical fame.. In view of the seeming difficult in financing this af fair the Telegram is to be con gratulated that it did not start out to buy anything larger. 39 YEARS AGO (From the Weekly East Oregonlan, Dec. 1, 1877.) On Sunday last In company with Prof. Paul and Mr. Lounsberry of Weston we left Pendleton for Walla Walla. We arrived in Weston about 7 p. m. and next morning Mr, Weller of Walla Walla gave us a seat In his buggy anil we were soon In Walla Walla. Look out for weddings In town soon; ajl the young men are looking out for winter quarters, and It surely means something, and we guess some point ed propositions were made at the candy pulling at Swltzler's the other night and certainly the ladles could not say no. All persons knowing themselves In debted to this office on old subscrip tions are requested to come and see us, and don't forget when you come to bring the money or Its equivalent in something, eggs, butter, potatoes, cabbage, squash, whiskey, cider, ap- FROM WISCONSIN' TO LONDON ;'';':::::::'::y:; but we are fearful that U will not es cape it much longer. 28 Years Ago Today (From the Daily East Oregonlan.
