The Heppner Gazette l'etablishod Jlurch SO. 1 ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING.1. CLEAN UP SALE OF Warnock & Harlan. SUMMER GOODS Entered at the Fostoflioe at Herpner Oregon, as second-class matter. Thursday July 21, 1904 THE WAR AND PROPHECY. The Russo-Japanese war drags its slow lencrth alone, with the - cj ' prospect of settlement no nearer than at the opening of hostilities. Russia, as always, displays her ac customed doggedness in warfare, as indifferent to defeat as to vic tory. Time is her ally in truth. Her own unwieldiness enables her to prolong the conflict indefinitely Japan, too, gives promise of strug gling to the last, lier fate as a nation is in the balance,and she has has had just sufficient taste of "19th centurv" nroaress to desire to live. Now, since inventiveness in the arts of destruction has kept pace with those of production the present conflict in the JFar East bids fair to outstrip any previous war in history in bloodiness. The religious world siezes upon the event and points to it as the initial feature of the great battle of Agamemnon foretold in prophecy, when the "wicked shall be con sumed as chaff before the burn ing " The fact of the war is not C the sole support of such a position. The same prophecy foretells the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land and the restoration of the city of Jerusalem to even greater than its former glory. It is a fact that the Saltan of Turkey now permits the Jews to inhabit that ancient city and the whole of Syrifi.; and large numbers of the Jewish people are centralizing there from all lands. Synagogues have been built within eight of the mosques, and at the present time work is progressing in the cities of Rome and Naples on the columns designed for the new temple, whose beauty of engravure by the foremost artists of the world, to be beset with the rarest jewels, out vies the ancient glories of Solo mon. Indeed certain religious au thorities announce with positive ness that the second coming of Christ will occur in 1928. However, it is not prophecy which engages the interest of the Gazette at this writing. The sub ject, however inviting, is far be yond the limits of our successful speculation. The subject under discussion is war. It seems to us that if men are free moral agents, and not the puppets of destiny (which would excuse their actions because con trolled by Divinity), war should become a relic of the past. The Creator provides man with a beau tiful and productive world. Each successive year brings with it its plenty; and genius is given free play in all departments of: human activity to contribute ute to the happiness of men.

Harvest hands crown all He has endowed man are scarce and good wages are be- with reason. And with all this plenty and all these refinements and blessings, man sets about it to kill each other by wholesale. Of course 'mankind in the aggregate is powerless to prevent doing so as lon as they are subject to govern ment and that government directs their lives and actions. Even should individuals realize the folly of such destruction they are as powerless as any individual cog in the wheel to stop ita revolution.
