It soema quite evident that the Wes ton community will line op almost as a unit against the proposed Umatilla county road bond Issue of M80.000. Th Leader has yet to hear a single ex pression favorable to this measure from representative Weston' farmer, and as tho farmers ere the heaviest taxpayers and the principal users of the roads, their views will carry weight with townspeople In general. William MacKensle, the Weston delegate to the recent Pendleton meet ing, is opposed to the road bond pro gram oa outlined there, as la also Ma or J. M. Banister, who attended. Mayor Banister expresses tho belief that two-thirds of tho taxpayers pres ent at tho meeting- will bo found against the bond question when It comes before the people in May. It Is pointed out that In no case will tho appropriation allotted to each sector of tho road program bo suffi cient to complete the work, and when the $980,000 Is expended there will be a gap or "lumping off place" on each road to confront the teamster and mo- torlst. The uncompleted gap on the macadam road between Weston and Milton is referred to as a horrible ex ample of this sort of deficiency. It is also asserted with ' emphasis that the eight feet of bard surface which it is proposed to apply is at least eight feet too narrow; that eighteen feet would be none too wide and that sixteen feet is absolutely es sential. Tho wheels of automobiles passing each other will in short time dig: out the rock fill at either sid of the eight-foot strip of con crete, it is contended by tho road bond opponents, leaving the highway in a much worse condition than before Im provement was attempted. The mo torist -will find himself In much the same pooUion as a roller skater trying to cross a foot-bridge. And when mo torist Or teamster must needs leave the concrete strip to allow another to pans, he will havo the devil's own time getting back on again. e To the people of the mountain com munities adjacent to Weston the pro posed bond issue is about as welcome ts a bear to a Dee-nive. ortngs hem no promise of relief. Because of the large expenditures on tho ma cadam roads In the past few years their own highways have received very little Consideration, they say, and if $980,000 bond is floated for the county's principal arteries of travel tho lot of the comparatively Isolated setth-Mieat will b harder tha vr.! They o not want to hav bund ls. tered o ih.lr land, as I b ted for th Interest, fur roa Ironrov. meet from which they will derive o llttl benefit. , , ' .

Wo know of no one in tho United State (with tho possible exception of as, ourselves) that would turn down a presidential nomination. . With Congress behind him President Wilson will now proceed with his difficult task of convincing Germany and England that he la powerless to change international Uw. Our distinguished fellow publisher. C. S. Jackson of th Oregon Journal, has written sensible letter to th East Oregonian on the road bond ques tion. He say. in effect that umaima county should look before it leaps. When on reflects that Charley Chap lin draws more pay than th president of th United SUtes he would almost welcome a savage war to hurl its back Into chao atavic , If old Umatilla passe th road bonds it will do wall to look but for th "con in contractor and concrete. No, Reginald, it isn't bad form to tell a Norwegian to go to Hell, if you refer to the town of that nam in Nor way; but be circumspect with Swede, oa he may prefer to leave Hell to th Norwegians. , Ash Wednesday was duly commem orated at th Leader office by remov ing tbe ashes from th office stove. If words were whip lashes, Brysn by this time would owe lacerated back to the Great Only. .An American citizen has an undoubt ed right to sail th sea on board of an armed merchantman, but it is snala- gous to th similar privilege of mon keying with a buzs saw. Both the French aud Germans are losers in the colossal shell gam at Verdun. , '; Th noble red man is still the victim of discrimination. A Niaqaaily Indian was sent to the Walla Walla pen for merely stealing a pair of silk stockings when his paleface brother would also hav tried to run away with th contents.

Invitations have been issued by the Bschelor Girls' Club for a leap year danclnc party Saturday evening of this week.- Each gtri attending In vites her own escort and pays one dol lar for the dancing ticket. Whatever "wall flower" posing results from the occasion must be don by the young men, as the girls will select their own partners and list them on printed pro grams. Three spaces are reserved, however, for "gentlemen's choice," and these afford the only opportunity for the exercise of th least initiative on the part of the sterner sex. The grand march will be led by the club officers, each escorting a timid and blushing male, and when refreshments are In order the young gentlemen or the gentle young men will be duly conveyed to the punch bowl. There will be fetching decorations In the club colors, green and gold.

On Edward McKechnl had th doubtful distinction of being the first offender arrested at Weston for al leged Inebriety sine tb dry Isw went into effect. After spending one nlxht In jail he was brought before the recorder and fined $S.0, while he also had the sad experience of watch ing his whiskey bottle drained into th gutter. "God. I'm dry, was his pathetic comment ' McKechnl plead ed poverty, and said he had no friends who would go his ball until he could earn fine money. When told by Re corder Bornett, however, that h would have to pay or go back to Jail, he pulled ttt one shoe, dug up a fat roll of bills from the toe of his sock and liquidated without further demur. Chief Wilson had previously searche1 the prisoner but missed his private bank. Upon being Interrogated as to th source of his liquid supply, Mc Kechnl said that he had found It in the manger of an Athena barn, and would now go back and get some mor where that cam from. When last seen, after paying his fine eni lesv- Ing the unsympathetic precincts of this metropolis, he was wending his way over th hills towards the sub urb.
