Any one of three good reasona ought to ba sufficient to defeat Pendleton normal tchool aspiration, unhn succeeds in beguil'inf th voter. Pendleton is misusing tha Initiative privilege in a manner contemptuous of tb plain mandate of the sovereign Ure- aon people. Two year ago the vol en declared unmistakably that they did not want either one or two additional normal acboole. They ahould be allow ed a decent and reasonable interval in which to change their minds before be ing pestered with a demand for more normals. To aak them to build a MZS, 000 plant in Eastern Oregon within two years after they have voted not to restore to state use a 475,000 plant, falls but little short of pure insolence. Pendleton is evasive and cowardly, in that it makes Its covert light from ambush behind the skirts of the Oregon Agricultural College and the University of Oregon. It seeks unnecessarily to 'validate" these two. already recog nised and established Institutions the bill proposing to create the Pen dleton Normal Afraid to risk the straightforward piracy of scuttling the Was ton Normal in order to acquire for itself a big slice of state pork, it tries to hoodwink the voters into fearing that the agricultural college and the university may some time be spirited awav by a constitutional goblin. Its deceptive bill, as pointed out by Mr. S, D. Allen of Eugene, constitutes "log rolling" of the worst variety. Pendleton's duplicity toward a smal ler neighbor in the same county that has always been its loyal tributary, throws too much doubt upon its moral and ethical standsrds to make of it suitable place for a state schotL Pen dleton baa always coveted the Eastern Oregon Normal Some ten years ago in the legislature it tried through its agents to steal the school from Weston, but failed. Biding its time, after the Weston school hsd been recklessly thrown over by the state senate at the instigation of Pendleton men, it imti a tea a bill when Weston could not con sistently do so. Not until its scheme wsa under way did it send out a com mittee to see bow Weston people, felt about it and toask them to "lay down, It is such brazen effrontery that the Pendleton newspaper applaud and one of them describes aa "righteous ness," forsooth! .Here are three conspicuous reasons. we aay, "why Pendleton deserves an admonitory squelching from Old Han Oregon. A fourth is that it already has the Eastern Oregon State Hospital and should be satisfied. There are oth ers, but for our present purpose these will suffice. . Whatever may result from the secret Russo-Japanese alliance, our fat uncle is in no position to do anything but make the best of the worst of it. In the Oregon Journal "Hy" Cohen predicts the biggest crop for the north end of Morrow county since 1901. We fear that Berlin is due later on for one of the rudest shocks of the war if it succeeds in its present at tempt to convince itself that the allied offensive is a failure. With a view to localizing our editor ial remarks we are going to say that not a few local eves are weary of glimpsing a far from picturesque ruin st the northwest corner of Main and Water streets. .. Pendleton msy lose some confidence in its grip as a grabber after Old Man Oregon proceeds to rap its knuckles in November. Speaking of Pendleton's normal school campaign the esteemed Evening Tribune says: ; 'Let us start out with the unani mous, - whole-souled, pubiic-spintea and harmonious back in? of every resi dent of the city, each panoplied with assurance in the rignteousneas oi ine cause and inspired with the confidence of victory." , Urn! It doesn't occur to us that "righteousness" is precisely the proper term to use in this connection not un less a pirate is righteous. With regard to the Deutachland's boasted undersea achievement the Al lies have a right to retort that their own merchant marine doesn't have to dive. Despite of our innate and shrinking modesty and our painful doubt of the "brilliance" of a country editor who still associates with a G. Wash., we hasten to reprint the subjoined per sonal from the Prescott Spectator: "Col. Clark Wood and Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Ssling of Weston were recent guests at the Joel Davis home. Col. Wood is the brilliant editor of the Wbstom Leader and he is no diamond in the rotifrh, either, but s polished and well cut gem of the rarest quality." Our gratitude goes out to Brother O'Neill for not spelling our honorary title as one would the interior and edi ble portion of a out. NORMAL SCHOOL COXMOT. While the question of an Eastern Or egon Normal revived by Pendleton has yet arvuaed a mere ripple of interest in this section of U) state, comment is noted In a few of the newspapers, FVJWtn' ambitious d'rn upon the school aren't viewed with a pronounced degree of enthuaiaam. The Heppner Gaiatte, for instance, saysi "Of eoua there ar several Eastern Oregon towns that would like to have the normal school. Heptmer probably wouldn't refuse it. In fact, we would be working to locate it here were there sny possible chance of getting it Pen dleton ia making a strong bid for ths school and we might ssy that Pendle ton is itkwllv located for such an Inati- tutUwi. But we favor Weston. Wee- tun waa the former seat of Ihe East' ern Oree-on Normal School. The build Inn ara artill there and the old West' n spirit la still there. We believe that if the people of Oregon should decide to add another normal school, Weston should be given the first consideration, On its first psga under a double col- . ... .. . . umn head ine tiermiston neraiu re prints from the WgsroM Lead Ka a col umn editorial condemning Pendleton's move, thus plainly Indicating where the Herald 'a sympathies He. The sen timent at Pilot Rock (a pretty well demonstrated, we lake it, la a letter received by the LaUDKa from a promi nent. young business man there. He says: "Have lust finished readinff June 90 ieu of the Weston Lkadbr, and wish to congratulate you on your strong ed itorial relative to the proposed Pendle ton Normal School. Two years sgo 1 worked end voted for the Weston Nor mal. believiiMT thst the school waa needed and realising that Weston was the ideal place for It with it numiing and grounds. . We stl knew that Pen dleton has not the interest or the schools or school tesehera at heart in launching Its campaign for a normal, but a selfish and commercial interest. pure and simple." The La Grande Observer evidently thinks that Pendleton is trying to chew a pretty large mouthful We would interpret the feeling at La Grande to be that it ia all right for Pendleton to jump into a dubious campaign pot hole and get its feet muddy, since it is pay ing for its own shoes. Union county went against the Weston Normal by 2746 to 1978, and it has even less res son to favor Pendleton. The Observer remarks: . .. h ,,.:. Pendleton is trying for a state nor mal achooL And ss usual is trying in the whole hearted Pendleton manner. Nothing is spared to spread ine news thst Oregon has suddenly awakened to tha fact tnat She IS snort normal schools and needs one In Eastern Ore gon. Just how the demands of our neighbor will be taken by the atste ss a whole remains1 to be seen. There still remain buildings of the old Weston Normal in Eastern Oregon and the Ashland Normal in Southern Oregon. Tha state normal problem has been a knotty one in the past and Pendleton till Km a mil deal of oublicitv work to do to make her position thoroughly understood. The Observer may be sure that Pen dleton will avoid as much aa possible such publicity as will make her real noaition thoroughly understood, her campaign being baaed upon treachery and deceit.' ." We would not object so much to pay (ng the income tax wo have not yet been called upon to contribute were it not for the wellfgrounded suspicion thst most of it will go into the pork barrel Miss Nason has been asked to resign aa Umatilla county librarian for no ap parent reason the. presumption being that somebody else has been promised her job. -r '..
