Thursday, May 7, 1914 Back Up The President Our advice to all newspaper readers is to take many of the most startling and sensational statements with due allowances. Newspaper men have to make copy with great rapidity. They cannot always verify rumors. They know that the people are anxious to read about what is going on and the makers of ? py struggle to get it to them. A newspaper man at the "front" cannot see or hear everything first handed. They write just as people talk, about whatever comes as a rumor or a bit of gos sip. Every one is excited and almost anything goes as a state ment of facts, until it is con tradicted. In the case of Mexi cans it is, of course, easy to a scribe to them all manner of atrocities, presuming on the other fact that they, are semi savages, many of them. But let us cultivate a spirit of calmness. We can be patriots none the less. Forment is not real patriotism. It is mere froth on the glass. Men can be thoughtful and even sensible and still love their country. And first of all, we may as sume that President Wilson knows as much about the situa tion as newspaper correspon dents and that he is as deeply concerned as an irresponsible scribbler at the front making war copy. The motives of the president need not be question' ed. The heaviest burden is up on him. lie feels himself re sponsible, as he is responsible. And in his efforts to limit the operations of war, such as it 18, and in his efforts to reestab lish peace he is deserving of the encouragement of all right minded men and of the prayers of those who believe in prayers. War is, the most seriousness business on earth, and it is also one of, the sillost - for great Christian nations to be concern ed in. For heaven's sake, if he can keep us out of it, spare the lives of thousands of boys in uniforms, however willing they may be to give their lives, let us pray him God speed in that great work. And we may be sure that the president will not tarnish the glory of the stars and stripes and least of all will he be doing it by glorifying the sublime doc trine of peace on earth and good will among all men. A Sound Official. The Herald would like to see Chas. JL. McNary re-elected to the Supreme Court. Irrespec tive of all other reasons, his rec ord alone entitles him to anoth er term. The failure of the peo ple to re-elect this good man would be the same as a store keeper firing a clerk who had given entire satisfaction in or der to make way for some other man who had applied for the position, and about whose abili ties the storekeeper knew noth ing. An X before Judge Mc Nary's name on the ballot will not be misplaced by those who believe in sound ollkials. The Heppner merchants who went out to help the farmers put the roads in better condi tion are the merchants whom the farmers should spend their money with. Shears & Sawbuck never helped put the roads of Morrow County in condition. Instead, they have drained the county of thousands of dollars which will never be in circula tion in this county again. Help the man who helps you. Portland people have at last awoke to the fact that they can have a share of the Alaska trade by going after it. A few hund red thousand dollars judiciously invested in shipping vessels and a number of wide-awake sales men in the territory will win them their share of the business. Definition of a Kiss A kiss is nothing more than the anatomical adjuxta position of two arbicular muscles accom panied with a peculiar sound like cows walking through deep mud, and attended with gross disar rangement of the imagination, rhe custom of kissing must have originated with some evil genius bent on decimating the human race for in the average healthy mouth there are always from six to nine different kinds of harm ful bacteria, and sixty-six va rieties have been established as habitants of the oral cavity. Some of these are tuberculosis, small-pox and pneumonia. Is there any reason why the young men of Heppner hesitate to let girls kiss them? A telegram rceived by D. E. Cosgriff, of Salt Lake City, from the department of agri culture, announces that Secre tary of Agriculture Houston will call a conference' of western wool-growers and wool manu facturers of the country to meet at Washington in June. The adoption of the Austral ian system of preparing wool for market at its source will be considered. ; Since installing a Model K linotype, similar to the one in the Herald office, The Elgin Re corder has enlarged to an eight- page all home , print paper and is chuck lull of news. Wc congratulate Henry Brothers on the make-up and appearnace of their paper. , The Herald desires to nublish the newiest weekly in the North west. Our readers can materi ally assist us by phoning, writ ing or personally telling, us a bout happenings in their neigh- oornooa or the names of any visitors they may have. The person who did not regis ter to vote at the coming pri maries will have no kick coming at the result of the election. Yet, these people are very often the ones who make the loudest holler if the election does not suit them. Make. The Herald, office your headquarters while in town. Plenty of reading matter always on hand with which to while away the time. You are al ways welcome. The opinion that the new ?owns break the moral law is secondary to the fact that they also break one's bank account, says the Condon Globe. Its all right to pray for the things you want but The Herald man believes in rustling for a few of the things a person must have. In dancing, the main idea used to be to learn the new steps, now it consits in learning the new holts. "Beauty is the mark God sets upon virtue. -Emerson. Heppner has many beautiful people. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS East Oregonian. Owing to the maimer in which they have been plucked during the past' winter, it is not likely men with hay will pay as much for cattle to feed as they did last fall. After buying their feed ers at remarkably high prices the hnymcn were obliged to feed high priced hay and then had the pleasure of being forced to sell their beef at prices that netted them nothing what ever for their trouble and almost nothing for the hay. Having been stung once these men are somewhat fearful for the coming year and it is said they will not buy feeders unless they can secure them at prices that will insure some profit. At the present time the price of stock fattle ranges $5 per head lower than at this time a year ago. From ap pearances this conservatism will con tinue to prevail. If so the coming season will be a profitable one for feeding for the reason there will be less feeding than during the past win ter. At the sunie time the price of hay will naturally be lower. Not only were feeders caught hard (he past winter on the score of prices but they also complain that the win ter was not a favorable one otherwise. Contrary to the general view the mild winter did not make good feeding weather. During such weather the attle did not eat well and so did not get into topnotch shape. The warm weather also caused them to be lous ier than usual with bad results from a fattening standpoint. A feature of the beef business that is another subject of complaint is the plan of taking beef to Portland to sell. It is the method that is widely encouraged and at present the small feeder has no other alternative. But when beef are taken to the market the owner places himself squarely at the mercy of the buyers. He cannot ship his beef back home and must sell for what prices they design to give him. If the grower of feed could sell his beef at home he could be in a position to demand a square deal. Milton Eagle War, its plans and its probable results just seem to over shadow everything else in private and public. Congress has done little with the much-vexing canal tolls repeal bill which had been the center of the stage until the trouble with that base but capable brigand Huerta arose. Even with conditions thus, senti ment supporting the president and those who favor repeal of the exemp tion clause for coastwise shipping, is growing. Every side of the question is being analyzed and when the analy sis is complete, repeal looks more like the thing to do. A lot of talk about humbling our selves to England has been brought ibout by those favorable to exemp tion. But this is mere stage play. If our existing treaty with Great Britain makes it a question of national honor ;o repeal the exemption act, then there should be no delay in doing it. But considering only ourselves, it is in economic injustice to tax the whole people to build and maintain the canal and allow private shipping monopolies ;o have its free use. That is what the people have been doing for years, sup porting the monopolies and doing it gratis. It is a false idea to think the people will get the benefit of free oils. The shipping interests will pet he profits and the people pay the hills. Special privileges should be grant id to none. Grandview (Wash.) Herald. A rote among the people of this coun try on the question of war with Mexi co would prove highly interesting, but we believe the majority would favor supporting President Wilson in his efforts to avoid war." Financially this country could stand war as well as any country; but this nation can't afford to lose the services of the good men who would fall in a war with Mexico. National honor is very good but there is a serious question as to just how much blood should be spilled in its behalf: And there is sone room for debate neH to how far this nation would fall in the estimation of the world if it keeps out of a war with Mexico. In Colorado there is a situation that demands fully as much attention is Mexico. More men have been kil led there than in Mexico yet it is only in the last few days that national government has seen fit to take a hand. Those who have seen war service ind the fathers and mothers of men in the army and navy today and thousands more hope that this war ousiness will be settled without more loss of blood. Condon Times. r Accounts from Portland are favorable for Charles Johns, and it is to be hoped that he will get the Republican nomination for Governor. His platform is clean jut and if elected he will cut down the expenses of the offices of Gover nor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and Attorney General, and abolish about half the state boards and commissions and reduce the expenses of the other half. He favors semi-annual pay ment of taxes, with no interest on the second half, He will give careful at tention to all bills presented to him by the legislature. Mr. Johns is the best man on the ticket for Governor, and we sincere ly hope to see him nominated and elected. Billy Sunday Gets the Money. Memphis (Tenn.) Scimitar. Billy Sunday gets the money and goes about with his pockets bulging out. while ordinary clergyman are going from one lean year to another. Here is a sample of the argument which Billy uses when he wants to make the boys cough up: "David looked at Goliath and asked who this big stiff was. Then he hit him between the lamps, chopped off his block, and the rest of the gang beat it." When a soul-savor can handle the king's Eng lish in this manner he is sure to get the money. Weston Leader. Uncle Sam is ex ceedingly circumspect with his post masters, perchance m order that no profits escape that might be avail able for the "pork barrel." Merritt A. Baker, former postmaster at Wes ton, has received an official communi cation from the department inform ing him that his postal'account audit ed up to June 30, 1913, shows a bal ance due to the United States of two cents. He is informed that he must pay this sum to the present post master, "to whom a demand circular for said amount has bevn sent." Mr. Baker is endeavoring to maintain as cheerful a demeanor as possible in the faco of his formidable deficit.
