A BYSTANDER SPEAKS UP COMING on. the heels of the German peace pro posal and Lloyd George's refusal President Wilson's mes sage, though inspired by nei ther, makes a very interesting development in the world situ ation. In brief our president has in quired of the warring nations what each side would consider its acceptable terms for the ending of the war. It is a simple and frank request, brought forth not for the purpose of aiding or injuring either side, but with the hope of facilitat ing the end of the struggle. The official cause of the ac tion taken by the president is explained by Mr. Lansing in his statement that both sides have invaded American rights to such an extent that the pres ent situation contains alarm. In other words while our house is not on fire the cinders fly toe near for comfort and we would like to know what are the chances of extinguishing tlw blaze before civilization itself becomes destroyed. The president's statement constitutes the most effective step taken toward peace since the war started. His course is bold but it is entirely sane and j safe. It can be justly criticised by neither side of the struggle. It does not involve any breach of neutrality by us. There is a chance the answers to the message may clear the diplo matic air and hasten the end of the war. If so the effort will be indeed worth while. EITHER SUPPORT THEM RIGHT OR KILL THEM fg REGON educational insti VX7 tutions maintained by millage taxes are hurt by the fact the lower state assess ment means less revenue for them while at the same time their needs are increasing. It is feared that the income for the agricultural college will be $200,000 below the es timate. As the university is also maintained by millage tax its revenues will likewise be crippled. The Monmouth normal school has for several rs suffered frohi lack of sufficient money, the condition there being particularly shame- ful. The six per cent amendment will make it impossible for the legislature to do antyhing for the schools. Therefore they will have to get along the besi way they can. Oregon is in an economical mood, thanks chief ly to Willamette valley senti ment, and believes in squeezing the dollar until the eagle howls. At a period in the state's de velopment when we should be liberal toward schools the western Oregon sentiment is for choking them to death. If this policy is to be perma nent it would be preferable to abolish our institutions of high er learning and let all our stu dents go abroad as a vast num ber do now. Washington, Ida ho and California support good schools, including several nor mal schools in each state. It is better for an Oregon student to attend a well maintained school in a neighboring state than to put in his or her time at a half starved and poorly equipped institution in Oregon. If a man cannot feed his horses he should not have any. If the state of Oregon canniV maintain its educational insti tutions in proper manner we should wipe them all off the map and frankly announce to the world that we are going over the hill to the poor house. RUSSIA'S DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS g UT of the muck and chaos Q of war a great hope has come to the Russian peo ple, dazzling because of the apparent nearness of its reali zation. A victory far more im portant than the consumma tion of centuries-old Russian ambition to seize Constantino ple seems almost within their grasp. It lies in the hope that cabinet government, respon sible in large measure to a Par- hament chosen by the people, shall wrest control of the em pire from the bureaucracy and breach the very bulwark of au tocracy. The Council of the Empire and the Duma House of Lords and House of Commons of Russia are united for the first time upon a program of vi tal importance. A liberal ma jority in both is demanding the establishment of a ministry de riving its power not from the Czar but from the national as sembly. The reactionaries are dis mayed, disunited, suspicious of one another. Upon them is heaped the popular blame for all their country's blunders. military, as well as economic and diplomatic. To their con solidated enemies is attributed every success. The existing government is showing symp toms of vacillation and uncer tainty. In its recent victory over the Czar and Sturmer the Duma achieved what it could not accomplish against the Czar and Stolypin. Backed by a tremendous patriotic uphea val it has utterly overthrown the German party. The belief is widespread that most of its demands will be granted with the convening of both houses at the Winter Palace. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Henry Ford is a rare combi nation; he is a genuine busi nessman and a real humani tarian as well and he lets nei ther interfere with the other. It is cruel to have such long days just before Christmas. Here's hoping that this time the telephone company will really do it. We should do something for our boys when they get home from the border. 28 Years Ago Today (From the Dally East Oregonian Dec. 22. 1888.) Robert Walker Is still very low at his residence eight miles from town and doubts are entertained for his re covery. An old gentleman with gray hair and beard and a rather Impressive cast of countenance held forth on th streets of Pendleton today, preaching and singing psalms. Weston Leader: While Jolly Mat Taylor was In town last Tuesday he was called upon by a lady living here who requested his Immediate attend ance upon another who was very ill from some cause. After listening very patiently to the description of the symptoms Mat suggested that there must be some mistake as he was no physician. She evinced some surprise and asked if Jie were not Dr. Stone of Mll'on. The mistake was quite nat ural as the resemblance between these two gentlemen Is quite natural which is no disparagement to either of them. Will Coffmnn has been appointed Postmaster at Foster. It will be quite a convenience to many persons to have this office reestablished. The old Sanford hall Is being re moved to a position In the rear of the Pendleton and will be used as the warehouse of the Pendleton Hardware & Implement Co.
