German industry, intelligence, re search, thrift, organization, system, co-operation, thoroughness, scholar ship, love of country, are admirable. These qualities have enabled seventy millions of people to lire in comfort and happiness on an area teas than that of the state of Texas. The world is fortunate ein having- learned through the war more of the methods of Ger man progress than was ever known be fore. To the extent that these leasons are applied the world will profit. It is what is termed the "German psychol ogy" that is feared. This menacing spirit b well exemplified In the follow ing article from the Frankfurter Zei tung, a representative German newspaper: With the fail of England. Rossis and France will automatically cqllapse like the organa of a body whose heart has been bored through. .Then, also, America will remain isolated and must for her part accept any conditions which we impose, because in the peace treaties with our Eurooean. foes we can, among other things, also demand the handing over of all large battle ships and submarines, whereby our fleet would become seven times the atremrth of the American navy. Then America would be aimultaneously eom- Delled to aurrender. and as a matter of course would not only oe eompcuea io rive on all the interned German liners, but also pay all the war expenditures of the Germanic powers and their alliea." . t While except for German psychology. autocracy and militarism the remainder of the world including America would undoubtedly be better off for Germanizatton, it aeemingty prefers its own processes of progress. Fur this reason, before hanging up the coon skin. Germany must yet catch the coon. This task is proving to be both difficult and vexatious, despite the Zeitung's optimism.

'" WESTON HEARS FROM GOOD ROADS MAN Prttiiut KsaiRSom Sap That Pioyaiel A isrtfeaae&t It rarely TesUUrs. It's up to the farmers to attend to morrow's road meeting at Pendleton. They pay more taxes and have a larger interest in the good roads question than any other class. .The Leader for one is content thst the farmers shall de cide for themselves upon precisely what they want dirt roads or rock roads, macadam roads or concrete roads, roadrd,r to have something to baa your Pendleton, Or., March II. (To th Editor of Th Leader.) Will you per mlt me to use soma of th space In your rerv highly esteemed paper o answer a few of the arguments set forth last week against the proposal to Issue bonda for building perma nent hard surfsce roada in Umatilla county? : " " Th apportionment made at the last meeting at which Mr. MacKeml god Mr. Banister were present was mere ly tentative, it was not conclusive and will not be conclusive until the county court makes ths order calling the special election for the primary date. In fact, another meeting has been called for Saturday, March II, to reconsider this same apportion ment The apportionment was mad for the purpose of getting a basis upon which to work. The county court Is not bound by this apportion ment, nor Is It bound by any appor tionment the commute may make. It seems to me that If the people would look at this matter in the right light they would readily see where It would be to their Interests to get In snd try to get a reasonable and accur- ate and satisfactory outline of roads nd road Improvement rather than announce a determined opposition to thing which Is merely tentative. But while on this subject let ma call your attention to the fact that state aid must naturally assist In clos ing up any gaps left In the road building If our money should be found Insufficient. That Is ths purpose and object of the state road tax and It I Just exactly what Is now being done with the monev. Umatilla county will never get any of this money and" aasiatance unless we. do something a that line ourselves. , . Did your people oppose th con struction of th macadam road? Do they now want It torn up and removed because there Is a gap unfinished f Don't they know that gap Is going to be closed upT Tou have the only semblance of Improved road In Ume tills county and you and your tax payers must admit that poor as It Is, It is better than ths old dirt roads. It haa been paid for by road tax from all parte of ths county. And now for you snd your taxpayers to say that the people of Echo, HermUton, Stan- field, Pilot Rock, Helix and other sec tions shall have no Improved roads at all seems to me to be entirely wrong. Tou snd your taxpayers know very well that every foot of the present macadam road between Pendleton and -the atat line will be hard aur- raced th very first thing. Tou only aay yon don't think It will merely In opposition upon.. Even without th bond Issue you know that road must be bard surfaced. It was because the county cowrt long ago realised that th macadam had to be bard sur faced that the present road Improve ment Issue was raised. It was first considered to put a bond Issue up to th people for this sole purpose and then other aectlona wanting hard surfaced roada cam In and proposed that If w bonded at all. bond for enough to do extensive road work. Now let'a get down and talk good roada to the people and not this par tlcular bond Issue until th apportion menl la definitely fixed by th county court. Then It will be time enough to dtacuaa th merits of that Issue and nothing else, but In th meantime let ua carry on a campaign of education ss to what good roada really mean to a community and to the county at large. Come out to th road meeting and take part In all the dlscusalon and then when we have finished our preliminary work and the matter Is passed up to th county court you and each taxpayer wilt then have a right to say that be did hla best to get what he deemed absolutely eaaentlal and If h Is displeased with the final appor tionment It will then be am pi time for him to oppose th bond bsru. JOHN F. ROBINSON. President Umatilla County Good Itoads Association. ANOTHER ROAD MEETING TOMORROW AT PENDLETON Ws want a committee of repress' tentative citizens and taxpayers to work with ths counly court to see to It thst we set a dollar's worth of road for every dollar spent, aays Presi dent 3. F. Kobfnson of the Good Roada Association, "and that Is one of ths main reasons for calling thla meeting for Saturday. March II. I believe that the people are willing to vote the bonds for the roa-.'s If they can be assured that the money will all go Into the actual construction of the highways, and I believe that they are entitled not only to that assurance but to the assurance, that they will have a final supervision over the en tire expenditure. "I want to see every taxpayer In ths county present st this meeting and I want to see everybody who Is In favor of good roads present ThJa Is a matter which Is entirely up to the people and unless they take an Intelli gent part In the considerations and the actual work they are certain to be disappointed In the results, no dif ference what they are, "We cannot expect any aid from the state unlese we do something our selves. Other counties not nearly so rich as Umatilla are voting bonda for good roada and. the state Is complet ing what they were emattle to finish. The state will do the same for Uma tilla county If we will make the start. Come out to this meeting Saturday, March It, and talk It over." Wanted A competent girl housework. Mrs. F. D.
