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.

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.

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'

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.
"Tappa nu Keg" is a rather sugges
tive appellation for an organization

has a society order that goes by the
above name and seems to be popular.
