He that atanda atilt la not progressing, even though he atill atanda. Should he atep forward, and then atep backward an ejual diatance, he ia yet but a few degree removed from the aphero of Inactivity of the cold and ailent clam. W commend theee aapient observa tion to tho attention of Commiaaioner Waterman, who la credited with a de airo to return to the old system of road and bridge work In , Umatilla county. He ta preeumably an eetimable gentle man and good farmer, who knowa how to handle an Ilermiston alfalfa field, but one would hesitate somewhat before employing him to pull tooth or to excise an appendix. By the aame token Umatilla county should hesitate before employing Commissioner Wat erman or Judge Marsh or Commissioner Cock burn to build roads and make bridges. Their function ia the business management of tho county, not the personal direction of departments re quiring special clasa of knowledge. A captain of industry leavea the act ual manufacture of ateel raila to skilled subordinate, and the command ing general doe not personally train and Are his howitzers. We presume that Umatilla county spends somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000 annually on ill roads and bridge. Wo would not onsider two percent of this amount an extravagant sum to spend for the services of a com petent engineer to plan and direct the work. If Engineer Martin ia not in all respects aatiafactory, h ia certainly not the oniy member of hia profession in tho United States. We would pre fer a graduate engineer 'a supervision of road and bridge work to that of any member of the county board Commia aioner Waterman not excepted. The Leader for one ia inclined to avoid any possibility of resurrecting a dubious ayatem whereby one fao.ed contractor plana, builds and supervise all of the county' bridges. Having entire confidence in the integrity of the present county board, we would nevertheless refrain from subjecting it to temptation. mill VVVVWrriiTT- Murphy in the Oregon Journal.)

Wood slight tilting of the pole in either direc tion would plunge him into the vortex of war. Just now the danger of trouble with Germany ia the more alarming, and the outcome depends largely upon the dis cretion of the captains of German sub marines. These are busy destroying English merchant vessels, three of which were lately torpedoed within 24 hours. Neutral ships which enter the comprehensive naval war zone declared by Germany, enveloping the British isles, are likewise in danger, and Norwegian ship ha in fact been tor pedoed. Should an American ahip suf fer a similar fate under aggravating circumstances, an acute crisis would undoubtedly develop. Because of its unpreparednesa and its polyglot population, involving racial complications at borne, war on behalf of either aide would be fraught with serious consequences for this republic. From the standpoint of national inter est, however, a union with the allies and against Germany would perhaps be the lesser of two evils. With her snrface fleet bottled up and only her submarines in action Germany would be without the means to injure us pos sessed by the allies, at leaat three of which are each stronger in naval power than the United State. Yet such a step would alienate our numerous and orthy German American citizens, few of whom could overcome the blood tie of the Fatherland. It might even occasion internecine strife. In the not impossible event that England is the first to offer us a deadly and inexcusable affront, rendering war against her and her allies unavoidable. our peril would be extreme. We would face on the one coast the overwhelm ing naval power of France and Britain, on the other the warships of an eager and exultant Japan.
