After re-acquiring Harry K. Thaw if New York will only keep him the punishment will fit the crime. "Murder ia murder" aaya a New York judge, thus obviating any erro neous impression that it might be a game of ping pong. The Kaiser still claims the Lord as a military partner, but somehow we are unable to fancy the Lord in spiked helmet and downaide-up mustacbioa. , "Noted Inventor Passes," says an Oregonian head line, and we will let it go at that preferring to infer that the Great Only refers to a poker game. Just now we would prefer those three Scandinavian kings, standing shoulder to shoulder for neutrality, to any other hand in the European war game. Because he is a Jew, Atlanta author itiea seem determined to hang Leo M. Frank for a eirl murder that was un doubtedly committed by a worthless and degraded negro. Fancy the added joy of triumphant Satan over the news as related by Bishop Cooke that Methodist preach ers are shooting at one another from the French and German trenches I Vienna reports such "rapid prog ress" on the part of the Austrian trooo thst they will probably soon reach reach well, our guess is Vien na, few jumps ahead of the,Russians. This final paragraph of an appealing article by Will Irwin in the Sunday Oreeonian oueht to draw a few more dollars and a few more barrela of flour out of Umatilla county.

Because a tax for Its support was turned down by the voter the l-a Grande band haa dUUsnderi, and, we are of twe minds aa to whether Breeae- town ia entitled to condolence or congratulation. The Monday Crawfish haa grownto be so frivolous, ao volatile and way ward that we are prone to Imagine Its hisoriou Lampman aa swinging a jack e'lantern when in search of the glee ful gibe. Such deeperate efforts are being made to save Pnemysl by the Ger manic allies that our war editor de duce the aapient conclusion that it must be the habitat ' of a pretsel foundry. W are pained to observe that our esteemed and usually refined content' porary, the Pendleton Tribune, gives editorial expire ion to "helluva time ta sort of coarse and uncouth way. James O'Donnell Bennett observed a battle in Lorraine from the top of a tree, and we'll bet he caught himself wishing that it was a California red wood or an Oregon pin. The Walla Walla pen is crowded to capacity and can admit no more pris oners, which affords our first and only occasion for relief thst Boyd is an Oregonian. The Kaiser haa returned to the bat tle front, where we presume he will be about aa useful and welcome to his generals aa, aay, a sacred white ele phant. Our thanks to Senator Barrett, a practical student of the road question, who comes out in a Tribune interview in favor of the Weston-Hilton link. The president emeritus of Harvard pays high tribute to John D. Rockefeller-but he haa been refining crude collegians instead of petroleum. Germany ia to have a "Repentance Day" January 10, 1915, but about a year later there might be a bit more of occasion for its observance. Again quoting from an Oregonian headline, "New York Sleuths Wstch Harry Thaw" when they really ought to keep him in cold storage. The Pendleton youth who wslked barefoot in the anow in order to please his lady love may find himself suffer ing from chilled brains. "Teachers May be Short in Oregon," saya another Oregonian head line, but mebbe Oregon doesn't wsnt 'em any longer. A Freewater man named Shankwyler complains that bis wife deserted him but what could he expect? With Hobson leading the Prohi forces in Congress it can hardly be described as a dry debate.

Thla la an unfair view to take after the county haa constructed ao much road near Pendleton, and la not even backed by the majority of fair-minded resldenta of the county seat Itself.

ANOTHER WHEAT TALK BY HYMAN H. COHEN Definite figures are now available showing the liberal Increase In the area of winter wheat planted In the Pacific Northweat The Increase to tala J70.000 acre and under normal condition mean an output fully II. 000.000 buahrla greater than the pre vloue greateet total, aaya it y man II. Cohen In the Oregon Journal. Thl means a crop of at leaet ST. 000.000 bushel for the winter wheat crop alone and with the normal spring wheal crop would lift the total Pacific northweat 1111 yield to 14.000.000 buehel. While nsturally this would be sn extreme esllmsto of the probable pro duction of the coming season, consid ering the normal depreciation the total crop should be at leaat 71.000.000 buahol. which would mean far the greatest actual crop ever harvested. While It Is true that tho wheat crop of the Pacific northwest today stand In a critical condition owing to the al most general lack of anow covering over the cold weather, still o far a private report received by the Jour nal are concerned, no special damage Is ss yet reported. If the normal wheat output per acre should be gathered in the Pacific northwest during the coming season the total value would be lit, 000.000 considering the present outlook for the price. In point of value therefore, aa well aa In point of ar-a. the com ing wheat crop of the three states promises to be a record breaker and one not likely to be again reached, at least, for many sessons.

Nicholas, saint of the children, drummed on the frosted pane; he heard the play of the snow sprites over the Northern plain, he heard the hoof of hla reindeer crunch on the crusted snow and h answered Mistress Nich olas, "Tea, it Is time to go." Wild ss a drove stampeded the Arctic wind rushed by, the lonely wolf of the bar rens lifted a lonely cry- "Wife, will you see to my mittens, and darn me well the thumb? I dread me thla one Christmas moro than all that shall come. Tea. but I dread this Christ maa; I'll go with my old heart aad, for I carry the strsngest playthings thst ever a youngster had. The coat that tho good bear gave me, brush It, and trim It new I must ride with Christmas ss ever I used to do." The swirl of the sifted snow sand alashed at the frosted pane, and the saint of little children turned to his toys again. Nicholas, patron of Christmas, haa laden hie pack with gifts; he hear the play of the snow sprites piling the Northern drifts, he hears the clink ot harness where his reindeer psw the snow and he answers Mistress Nich olas, "Yea, It ia time to go." Keen as a slashing saber the Arctic wind make strife; he gird the belt of walrus and blda farewell to his wife. "Bind mo this scarf the tighter loosen the hood a mite I rldo to tho south with Christmas, and I travel overllght Tea, overllght with trinkets, and dolls and pretty toys, but I carry the broken word blade that Is the Belgian boy's, I carry the khaki tunic stained with the brjonct thruot; mayhap tho lase In Enalsnd will think that stain but rust.
