Germany ia due to reap a whirlwind of vengeance through "sowing to the wind" in its wanton and useless bom bardment of defenceless towns on the English coast. Umatilla county's assessed wealth baa grown to nearly fifty millions, bnt it is sad to reflect that John D. Rocke feller could still easily buy the entire county for a golf Unks. j Charity ia merciful rather thae ex acting, generous rather than logical, and it is easy to find reasons for not giving to a charitable cause such, for instance, aa Belgian relief. HOLT WAR INDOIWED. (Monday Crawfish.) After mature reflection and sober deliberation on the part of Ita entire ed. etaff. The Monday Crawfish haa decided to endorse tha Sultan of Tur key's pleasant proposal to make the present treat conflict a holy war. Holiness la all that la needed to make the war a regular tallapalooaer. Add a pinch of holiness to the other Ingredient Oermaa "culture,' Rns llh "love of liberty." French "enllaht enment," Russian "patriotism." Jap anese "proaresslveness and plain Belgian mlaery end you should hava a stew that will leave the corridors of time In need of fervent fumlaatlon. Severs! distinct varletlea of Chris tians are earnestly enacted In whole sale mutual murder. Buddhists. Mo hammedans, Jews and fthlatolats are all mixed In tha melee with tha pro fessing followers of tha Prince of Peace. There la no altar on which tha dova may alight without wetting her feet In red. Aa If this were not religion enough to make any wsr holy, the crescent. aa of old. must be uplifted against the cross. No such cheerful prospect of holy homicide has arisen since the Crusades, and everybody In Europe who could ret away for the summer went down to Palestine to fight the Saracens for the Holy Sepulchre and any holy Jewelry and sacred silverware that might be lying around loose. This paper Is strong for all this holy stuff the holy Zeppelins, dropping holy b mbs, the holy dum-dum bul lets, the holy Cossacks, the holy sub marines sinking holy battleships (be whole holly horror. All these things are holy If only you get the right point of view, and the Sultan haa our heartfelt thanka for calling our attention to the fact, which. otherwise, not being very religious ourselves, we might hsva overlooked. If anything can be done to make the war any holler auch aa getting the headhuntera of Borneo or the canni bals of Central Africa Into It by all means let It be done without delsy. Civilization should not be Jeopard ised for lack of a little holiness, when that commodity la as plentiful aa cot ton and aa cheap, almost, aa human life. . ...... J2. 'TWj Je, ' (J. E.

There Is apparently no valid excuse for leaving the uncompleted line In I the Weston-MIIton link of the county road Improvement, and commencing work from Pendleton, westward. It would seem the height of folly snd bad-management to leave thla road uncompleted and begin elsewhere. when the machinery Is on the ground ready for the work. The county court owes It to the Bast 'end to complete thla thoroughfare, both from the standpoint of amount of travel over the road, and the fact that Athena and Weston contributed largely to the road fund, in Cash, tabor and material, and In reality set the Dace for the county to follow In the matter of per-1 maneat road Improvement. This part I of the county pays the bulk of the I taxes and should have a voice In the! matter which will be affected by tha I uncompleted road. Why not couple I up between Weston and Milton, and have a completed thoroughfare, then move to the west part of the county I and do likewise?

WEEKS mm ! 1 0 NORMAL SCHOOL BALANCE WILL BE KEPT INTACT The virility of J. E. Murphy' art ia aeen to good advantage, we think, in the powerful cartoon which the Lead er ia privileged to reproduce else where. Other artists have treated the aame etriking theme with more or less vigor, but it has been reserved for Murphy to give to Winter figure of terrific majesty. One viewa the picture with an involuntary shudder and a sensation of utter dread, al though "toasting his shins" by the fireside. It look to n aa though the present county court were committed to the Wes ton-Milton macadamized road ex tension and will have to "renig" if it heeds the mandate of MeCo beg par don, the Umatilla County Taxpayers' Association. Judge Maloney ha long stood for the building of macadam ized highway from Pendleton through to the atate line. ' Commissioner Cock burn based hi campaign largely on the completion of the gap between Weston and Milton, and won. For the , At a recent meeting of tha normal school campaign committee It was de cided to dispose of the small balance remaining of the campaign fund by placing It in the local bank In return for an Interest-bearing certificate of deposit, until such time aa It may be expedient to use the money for "nor mal school purpose only." The committee haa had several re questa for portions of the fund from public movements of a worthy nature. These were difficult to refuse, yet the committee finally reached the conclu sion that It would have no right to use the funds for any other purpose than that for which they were subscribed. These requests were therefore denied, as will be all similar requests In fu ture. It was decided not to return the balance pro rata to' the subscribers for the reason that tha several amounts would be so small as to be of little consequence to any of them. It Is not considered probable here that any attempt will ever be made again to have the Eastern Oregon Normal restored. However, should a change of sentiment ever be Indicated on the part of tha voters of the stats. the committee oecldnd that It would be well to hava a small aum available for the preliminaries of another cam paign.
