Pendleton haa protested against tha echeduted excursion of Portland busi ness men to Coos Bay for the reason that it ia set for the week preceding the Round-Up.

Part of the patch haa been in bearing for seven years. Strawberrhis are admittedly nrontahle here aa a "sMe hsua," but until they are grown on a commercial scale Weston's light in this particular ill continue to be "hkld.Ni under a bushel." Such a sociable snd delightful com munity affair as the lawn fete and band concert sponsored by the local ladies' club, calls for another of the sort snd "then some." A woman writer says that "anyone can have pretty legs by rising slowly on the toes without bending the knees, several times each day." All right for them that needs to, mebbe, but en tirely superfluous here. ' It seems tons that the premier of England is compelled to Aquith consid erable frequency for the sinews or war. Pendleton's pretensions remind one of Shakespeare's line: ' Upon what meat hath this our Caesar fed that ne hath grown so great!" Wa don't exactly know where we're going for the summer, but it won't be to Europe on that German u-uner.. Pendleton is nothing if not inconsist ent, else besides validating the Ashland Normal in its precious bill it would have included s maintenance tax for that institution.

Under expert training young girls at the U. of O. have learned Latin in seven days, but any boy with a gimlet can go through a Latin grammar in less than seven minutes. The Monmouth Herald supports the Pendleton normal school campaign. This is equivalent to saying that the city of Independence would be justified in attempting to steal the Monmouth Normal. It is further equivslent to saying that the Monmouth Normal is a failure because located in a small town. That strawberries pay wss demon- Cm ted this yesr by L. R.

The Oregon Journal recently pr'n'ed a quite unusual letter from Leo J. Prachtenburg, s Poit and cit'sen of German birth who is supporting Presi dent Wilson, In language fierce and bitter the Oregon Deutsche Zeiiung denounced the Journal for alleged fak ing, saying in effect that Leo J. Fracn tenburg' waa a myth. Thereupon tha Journal printed Mr. Prachtenburg 'a likeneaa and street number. Part of hi letter follow: , . - , "I am an American cit'sen of Ger man descent and am proud of both facta. Furthermore. I am Just aa anx ioua to see the Germans come out vic torious in this terrible atrueele probably Kaiser Wilhelm himself. Vin aver I am not narrow minded and blind to the d e ates of humanity. I most strongly torn nerd the evurae taken bv Preaideiit Wilson In the recent submarine controversy with Germany. I believe, with thousand upon thou sands of aertous but intelligent Ger mans, that the submarine warfare as wsged by the German navsl sutbonties waa a warfare of frurhtfuttwss. offend ing every sense of humanity snd civili sation. The heart of every decent German revolted against a policy in augurated by a clique of war-mad and victory-intoxicated individuals. "It ia my belief that tbise Germans in America who are citixena ought to vote for President Wilaon, not in spite OX but because -oi nis proteaiaiion againat the German submarine wnrcare. "As an intelligent German and aa a patriotic citixen of Ihia great country of ours, 1 believe that Presklent Wil son is absolutely neutral in the great Euronean stnmrle. and for that reason I shall vote for him and shall work for hia election whenever and wherever the opportunity to do so is presented." Mr. Frachtenburg might have added that in view of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt haa become one of the lead ing supporters of the Hughes csmpafgn it ia difficult to understand how more consideration for the German cause esn be expected from Hughes than Wilson, Without knuckling abjectly to the im perial government the present admin istration, we think, haa done, all that could be reason ably expected to keep peace with Germany. STUPID CKNSOIUmiP. Con trr appears to be seriously considering the bill to set up a censor ship of moving pictures, censorsnip and stupidity are practically synony mous and Interchangeable terms. comments the Saturday Evening Poat. It Is only ths dull, dim mind that Itches to impose its personal tames by force of law upon Its neighbors. W read somewhere not long ago that a sapient board of censors naa forbidden the exhibition of a film dealing with Mexico because Villa ap peared In It; and Villa la a murderer. We presume It Is true, because that would be exactly typical of censorship. There Is ss much reason for estab lishing a censorship of the spoken drama as of moving pictures; as much reason for censoring newspa pers, magazines, books, music, paint ing, sculpture and conversation. Br any of those means evil may ee communicated quite as readily as on the screen. Concerning any of them there will be wide differences of opin ion as to what Is and what Is not evil. Under a censorship the stupidest opin ion would prevail. ' That Is Inevita ble. : - Free speech, under the established penalties of the criminal law. Is of ths Inner spirit of this government, it seems odd to lay ah official hand upon mode of speech by pictures be cause it hsppens to have been newly invented. If we are going to start on that rosd there is no good reason why we ahouid not go the whole way back to the Spanish Inquisition. FERTILE ALASKA.
