Enormous Crops
Hymen H. Cohen, market edi
tor of the Portland Journal, sets
?8arSar.t &! folh Sod news in his estimate
or trie wneat crop m tne jNorth
west this year. Mr. Cohen has
received, from reliable sources,
reports that set the expected
output of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington at a gain of 10,000,
000 bushels over that of last
year. The prospects in Morrow
County are that we will contri
bute our share of the increase
without doubt. The market is
now good and prospects are
favorable for its remaining so.
No Hard Feelings
Since the election is over there
should be no hard feelings be
tween the candidates or their
friends. The people have spok
an their choice through their
ballots and the wishes of the
majority rules. Somebody had
to win and somebody had to lose.
President Wilson is still wait
ing for a congratulatory cable
gram on his management of the
Mexican affair, from Colonel
Roosevelt. But the colonel is
not in the habit of congratulat
ing his successors. He is still
thinking that he ought to have
been in the white house to han
dle the present questions.
Some of the also-rans are try
ing to figure out how it happen
3d while still others are proud
af the number of votes they did
receive.
Withycombe for Governor
Dr. James Withycombe of
Corvallis has been nominated by
the Republicans of Oregon for
governor. It would have been
impossible for republicans of
Oregon to have picked a more
sincere, upright, practical and
loyal man for their candidate.
His handsome plurality, in face
of the fact that there were a
half-dozen other exceedingly de
serving candidates, is evidence
of the esteem and confidence he
possesses in the hearts of the
people of Oregon. The LaGrande
Observer calls our attention to
a campaign speech made a few
days before the primaries by
Robert Withycombe, son of the
nominee, in which young Mr.
Withycombe said:
"If everyone knew my daddy
as I know him he would get all
the votes, for he is the best man
in the world."
The sincerity of purpose the
pure love of son for father shone
out so strong that there could
be no mistaking as to tthe mean
ing of his words.
And the republicans of Ore
gon evidently knew Dr. Withy
combe well enough that they
are willing to entrust the busi
ness of this great state to him
for four years.
Factionalism within the party
has been the cause of Oregon re
publicans bolting their ticket at
the general election several
times of late years and helping
to place Democratic officials in
office, but Dr. Withycombe, as
the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor is going to be a mighty
hard man to beat. Besides be
ing entirely capable in every re
spect to handle the affairs of the
office of governor, he is above
all, a man whose heart is known
to be in the devclopement of our
state and the education of the
boys and girls to do practical
things.
An Unpunished Murderer
The rapacity and greed of the
Standard Oil Company has
drawn the United States into
two wars during the past few
months. The war in Mexico is
an affair of insignificance in
comparison with the struggle
between the capitalists and coal
miners in Colorado. Men,
women and children alike have
been burnt and shot to death
by the Colorado militia and the
refusal of Rockefeller Jr., to
co-operate with President Wil
son in restoring peace in that
state simply shows what an ass
the young bloodsucker is. His
hypocrisy is worthy of the
notice and contempt of all hum
ane citizens.
The Flag And How To Fly It
Memorial day and flag day are
just ahead of us, and rules for
the proper display of (lags have
been wisely issued. On memorial
day, from sunrise to noon, the
flag on a pole should float at half
mast and from noon until sun
down at full mast. The half
mast in the morning is the flag
of Borrow for the dead and the
full mast afterward. is the re
joicing over the victory which
those who died for the flag won
for their country. No flag should
ever be raised before sunrise, nor
Dennitted to float after sun
down, we are told. The govern
ment always observes such

In the meantime the defeated

THE WOOL SITUATION
Pilot llock Record Senator J. N.
Burgess was in town recently and in
in interview stated that no one was
ulilo to say to a certainty why wool
has taken n sudden advance and
whether it would stay high or not. He
claimed that the war scare may have
had something to'do' with it and buy
ers were taking on a goodly supply
in anticipation of something coming
.ill down in, Mexico that would fur
ther advance the price
In the Senator's estimation this
Aiis conjecture only, as it is possible
there will only be a flurry and then
the price of wool will drop back again,
unless the world shortage is sufficient
tu hold it up. In this case it will worn
l hardship on the manufacturers who
l ave contracts away ahead for their
i-.it put and now ha.e to buy on a high
market.
Senator Ilurgess claimed that high
priced money had a. depressing effect
on the price of wool, as it kept the
speculators out of the market, and
when money is easy and there is an
PIirtunity to get into the market
tirly, as has been the case this year.
they lose no opprtunity to buy and
the sheepmen are benefited to a great
extent
The wool has practically all been

and great slices have been cut in the

NEEDED LEGISLATION
Woodburn Independent. The Col
orado legislature, tired, disgusted and
alarmed at the bloody scenes enacted
in that state in the past, is seriously
thinking of passing a compulsory ar
bitration law after a constitutional
amendment is secured. W hether
Colorado will vote such an amend
ment is doubtful, yet in the face of
recent sanguinary events there it may
be that the people will eagerly sup
port such a proposition. With states
having the power to enact compulsory
arbitration laws, there would be a
better condition of affairs in at least
some respects, and it might gradually
creep into the United States Consti
tution and there might be a general
compulsory arbitration law dealing
with labor and capital. A little edu
cation would convince labor unions
that it would be for their own good
and would strengthen their organi
zations. The greatest opposition to
such legislation would naturally come
from capitalists, who would prefer to
have militia instead of mediators.
Another reason why capitalists and
corporations could oppose such a
power and measure is that union la
bor would become more united politi
cally in that they would be presented
with a not one-sided compulsory arbi
tration law. The great mass of con
sumers, who are the real sufferers
during labor strikes, would enthus
iastically support such a progressive
and humane move, and it would not
be surprising if one or more of the
political parties inset a compulsory
arbitration plank in their platforms,
especially so if they get the least en
couragement from union labor to do
so. The greatest drawbacks to the
progress of business and the affairs
jf our states and the whole country
are strikes and threatened strikes.
If the prospect of these could only
be left out of consideration there
would be far better conditions for not
only the labor element but business
men and the big body of consumers.
The first Btep to be taken is to have
the consent of the labor unions and
the demand for such constitutional
amendment and legislation coming
c'rom them. Then the party offering
the most attractive platform plank to
the laboring class would be numer
ically strengthened. There should
be an initiative constitutional amend
ment proposed at the next election in
Oregon for legislation in Oregon pro
viding for compulsory arbitration be
tween employers and employes in
event of differences as to wage and
time of labor. Put the matter up
3quarely to the people, who would un
doubtedly decide in favor of a chance
for justice, fair play to all, peace
and prosperity to all classes.

To the Editor of The Herald:
In your last issue you stated that
my son, Jake Dexter, furnished 19
boys with liquor New Year's Eve. My
on was not convicted for, nor was it
proven at the trial that my son gave
1'J boys liquor at any time. On the
night ofDec. 31, last, my son had been
j.i.iimiik wun several young boys o r,t r.tK t,.,
the town and while in the rear of The fifty-two thousand nn,l. f i

that my son did not care to have an also sold his clip which amounted to

so. Personally, I have been drained
so hard financially the past few years
that it was impossible for me to hire
an attorney to defend my son in this
case, but I am a heavy taxpayer in
this county and believe that my son
should have been furnished by the
county with competent counsel. My
son had no money to hire counsel on
hi own recoeniiance and hn t,.i,i
will find very little wool here that has to proceed whether he had an attorney
not already been contracted for.
