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.

stacle the fact that the ele
ments in Europe most potent to
postpone peace have in this
country active and general sym-

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

lar pressure did not drive the
government into war without a
sharp struggle with Giolitti
and his following in society and
high finance.

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

gratulated that it did not start
out to buy anything larger.

not say no.
All persons knowing themselves In
