Facing another month's delay."

LARGELY A STATE OF MIND
RESIDENTS of Pendleton have been smiling and chuckling
over the results of the school election Monday afternoon
...U T A T- 1 ( il 1 1
wiien u. t, ree ar, ws eietueu us a memuer oi ine scnuoi
board to sueceed E. L. Smith, who is retiring after 18 years of
service. ,
flThey are not smiling at Mr. Fee's expense, because he is held
in tin esteem that can not be questioned, and his percentage of
votes secured indicates that he Has been complimented as few
men ever are. ,
'The smiles can best be explained on the ground that they are
th$ reaction that, came to Pendleton when Pendletonians found
they were .altogether at a time when they thought themselves
divided. The air during election day was full of ru
mors of this and that act which the opposing forces were sup
posed to be performing to confound their "enemies." When
the ballots were counted, following one of the heaviest votes
capt for many a year, the factions found that their opposition to
eaph other had been nothing more than a state of rfiind. Each
side was voting for the other side's candidate. The rumors of
"double crossing" were proved to be without foundation. The
factions were both seeking the same man.
After the election was all over and the results were made
known, if the truth must be told, Pendletonians felt a bit sheep
ish. They had been accusing their neighbors falsely. Their
"enemies" were of the same mind they were. Out of 585 votes
cast, 581 were for Alger Fee. They had been crouched in a pos
ture of defense, expecting to get a stiff jolt. Instead, they found
themselves all of one mind. Then they simply smiled at their
former fears and suspicions.
It certainly is an excellent thing to have so much interest dis
played in a school election. The schools will be none the worse
for such interest, and 585 residents know that they have had a
voice in the choice of a member of the board of education.
iThe results should pave the way for a new mental attitude ori
the part of those who have been indulging in the practice of
trying to cut the ground from under their neighbor's feet.
, Our paramount need right now in this day of violent preju dices
is to have a bit more faith in the other fellow. When the
truth is known, we find that he is very similar us in every way
and if we become acquainted with the real man, he may be of
one mind with us. At most, if he has a chance, in a majority
o cases he will treat us as he is treated. ' i
A fair deal to all men and a jealous insistence that in all
things the best interests of Pendleton be held paramount to
every other consideration are two good ideals for Pendletonians
to bear in mind in order that the city may go forward. Good
sports when they are sensible, follow those two ideals.
, And the good sportsmanship of Pendletonians has never been
consistently questioned.
driver or one only partly under the influence of strong drink
is a most serious menace. He not only endangers his own life
and the lives of the other occupants of his car, but he endangers
the lives of all who travel the highways. ,
A charge of manslaughter has been filed against .the driver
of one of the death cars. Perhaps, he isiiot technically guilty
of such a charge, but there is a guilt attaching to him and to all
others who indulge in the pastime of liquoring up and stepping
on the gas, and it is time that an example is being made of a
few of them. It is also time to clean out wayside dens 'and clean
up conditions which everyone knows exists- m spite of laws and
officers., " - ' ; '' ; v -

PENDLETON and Umatilla county are fortunate in that thej
; have 'no regular roadhouaes, and so, in a sense at least.
conditions as they exist at Astona do not compare with
what we have here. Enforcement of the liquor laws in the
county, however is done with such a gentle hand that most of us
nre unaware that anything to curb booze selling is even in thf
minds of county officials. The following editorial from the As
toria Budget gives the toll of John Barleycorn there witMn th'
past few months:
Three dead and one seriously injured marks the scoi . of the
' last automobile tragedy of Clatsop county to which lit.uor con
tributed. It follows in less than a week another accident in which one
death resulted.
It was only a few months ago that another car filled with
men and women who had been out on an all-night party, went
through th open draw of the Lewis and Clark bridge and
drowned two of the occupants.
. Six deaths within the lapse of a few months and within 8
ptretch of a few miles of road ! The same factors were present
in each case: men and women in a roadhouse party; booze,
reckless driving.
The elimination of these roadhouses. where all night orgies
and carousals are staged, is only one of the penalties demanded
by the situation. There can be no defense of them. They arc
breeders of vic jind they are allies of death. The results, as
told in the three recent tragedies, speak for themselves.
1 But there is more to these death rides than the roadhouses.
They are but one link in the chain of responsible circumstances.
The ease with which liquor or stuff that is called liquor can
be secured is notorious. Violations of the prohibition laws are
so flairrant that they smell to heaven.
There is a law making it a grave offense for a person, under
the influence of liquor, to drive a car. It is a law that for the
most part is so seldom used that it grows dusty on the statutes
but it u a law la&i unouia oe rigorously enlorced.
