From some papers and many street corners we are continually THE ART hearing the complaint that the high cost of living is the result OF IIIGH of the cost of living high. We should go back to the good old LIVING. days when, but when were there any good old days ? Would we go back to the old open hearth to do our cooking instead of using the iron stove? Would we go back to the old wooden-wheel ox carts instead of the spring wagon and low slung auto truck? Would we go back to the old stage and pony express days instead of the locomotive and touring car ? Would we go back to the 'old days of poker and, barley corn? Would we go back to the days of Divine right of Kings instead of Democracy? Would we in Oregon return to the old convention system and give up the primary election? Would we in Malheur county return to the old days of internecine strife instead of the present period of cooperative development? We would not. It is the chief aim of the existence of the human race to live ever higher and higher. As we are advanced today beyond the level of the people of the sixteenth century so will our posterity live higher than do we. Still, we suppose that in the year 2000 a few will be telling the progressive section of their generation that they are living too high. High living undoubtedly does cost high. But who wants to live low? Of course there are two kinds of high or fast living. The one that requires licentiousness, lust, booze, and many other forms of intoxication and intern perance, of that kind of so called high life, we are not speaking. That is not high living nor is it fast except in the sense that it cannot endure long without death. But the average human being has born in him a spark of progress That spark makes it natural and right that he should get as much out of life as possible. Where is the harm for a poor working girl to spend her money for clothes provided that in the righteous possession of them she is enabled to increase her self respect. The business man would not deprive himself of the use of the telephone or telegraph. The housewife of tho electric iron or light All of these things are the means not the cause of our high living, Why have they become a part of our daily life? It is because they have met tho old things in competition and have proved their superiority. They excell in merits of service and efficiency and that means time and cost. Today we send messages across the world for a fraction of what it cost before the telegraph and in a saving of time that is almost inconceivable, In every advancement or improvement given to the world the lie has been given to tho crowd of "it-can't-be-done-ers." Yet we listen to them and al most believe that we should return to the old ways of doing things. The high cost of living should be reduced. But after) taking out the unfair profits forced upon the American public by a powerful combino of manufacturing and brokerage interests, and after effecting a close economy in tho consumption of all nrticles used, the balance of the excess cost should be labeled tho high cost of killing. But the elimination of tho excess cost still leaves a high standard. Tho art of high living should and is being developed over and ever higher for that is tho nature of man. Despite what the knocker, the hanger-back, or doubter may say, this old world will never turn back. If you don't want to keep up with the world you had better got off of it, tho soon er tho better. Right hero in Malheur county we will soon have miles and miles of irrigation ditches making thousands and thousands of now barren acres green with alfalfa nnd other crops. We ord going to have an oil field equal to any in tho world and will have gas to use for manufacturing en terprises. Railroad development and good roads with the growth of tho towns will improve marketing capacity and facilities. And last but not least wo will be so busy growing, and will bo so happy about it nil that we are going to forgot all about our little community differences nnd neighborhood jeal ousies and will join hands in a great cooperative movement that will suc cessfully dovclopo this wonderful county. And the prattle of a rattled newspaper will not bo ablo to prevent the Malheur county towns and districts from working together for their in dividual and mutual benefit. fas Jsa jsa to fsa Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, BE LOYAL Our President Ho is a pacifist in doctrine and at heart AND TRUE. Ho has been shamefully nbused by many for his sinccro aim of preventing armed conflict on the part of this country. Even, now ho is taking only tho positively necessary steps to protect Amor ican life on tho high seas. Should ho order nil American shipping to stop, the world knows that Germany would quickly win the war. Germany nlso knows this, yet sho has chosen to offend rather than appease this nation. If we actually enter tho war, tho Allies will be enabled to subdue the central powers in a short time. We profess to bo neutral. We wish to be neutral. But we insist on protection to American life. Wilson in deciding to givo that protection is not entering in any agreement with England nnd her allies; but is simply enforcing his demand for tho safety of American lives. On the other hand the munition makers want us in the war. The Morgan interests want us with the Allies. Some of tho German peoplo nat urally wont U8"with tho Central Powers. All of the war news given by tho daily papers is first censured by tho authorities of one or two foreign governments. Some is fictitious. Some mislondlng. We do not know the real facts. However wo hnvo this much to satisfy us. We know Wilson will maintain pence if possible, nnd ns much of.it as possiblo. He is in posi tlon to know tho real facts. His judgment has been good before. It will be good now, Ho has tho undivided confidence of tho Americnn people. He is loo much a man to betray that Ho would rather devote his energies and .the nation's revenues toward internal development, human nnd industrial. But if in tho light of full knowledge ho decides that America must enter the war, America will respond unreservedly. And if we should, may it not result in a peace that will moan a great advance toward democracy and tho brotherhood of man. Ha Xa fca (fa fca The big mail-order houses over tho entire country spend MAIL ORDER millions und millions of dollars every year in advertising HOUSES their wares. They do not think it enough to merely lot ADVERTISE. the public know they are in business. They toll the peo Plo exactly what they have to sell and they toll them what it will cost That thoy do get many orders is regretnblo from tho stand- point of the development of the small town. Almost any person is loyal enough to support the local merchant providing he has what they want and Jhey know about It But if tho merchant doesn't tell his prospective cus toraers what ho has for salo in tho way of the most seasonable things, the people cannot bo oxpected to go to tho troublo of finding out for themselves. It ought to be considered almost a traitorous net to pntronlro a mail-order concern. Tho local merchant can equal tho outside prices, if quality and onvenience are considered. If it were not for the email town merchant we weuJd have bo town and no trading point, in which event there could be no dependable development of any sort If your local dealer docs not carry the article you want tell him about it Have others ask for it and ns soon as he sees a demand therefor, he will have it put in stock. But If he puts in a nice new line of some sea sonable article and then forgets to tell the public about it, tho -chances are that he will have most 0 the line left on his hands. The key to' the whole trouble is advertising lots of it and oTTthe time. If the merchants will spend for advertising their wares the same proportion as 'do the mail-order houses, they will soon remove the mail order catalogues from the sitting room tables and will be reaping n bene fit which they will deserve. But from tho point of purely local patriotism, investigate the wares of tho local merchant before sending away whether he advertises or not' N 19 1H ft )SJ What is your opinion of the good roads measure to be voted WHAT DO on next June?

EDITORIAL COMMENT Some Wnr at That Tho farmers of Malheur county have got the war spirit, and about three weeks ago war was actually de clared. There was no waiting for any reply from' foreign notes, no com munications from the war depart ment, no fuss made about prepared ness, 350 ounces of strychnine was all that was necessary in the way of munition, a mobilizing of a small squad and the war was on, and is still on, but tho enemy is scattered and hard to find. The troops were last seen scirmishing the banks of the shoe string ditch in the vicinity of Malheur Butte. Casuality of the enemy was heavy, about 30,000 jack rabbits. Payette' Enterprise.
