It is said that England enjoyed such a long
reign of peace and internal developement
following the War of the Roses because three
TOurths of the nobility were slain. The
word Nobility like many
The Unemployed other words has different
Class in Europe meanings. In Europe it
stands for the unemploy
ed class, the barnacles, not the producers. A
casual glance of the history of the world will
reveal the fact that nine-tenths of the wars in
the past have been caused by this unemploy
ed class. It is the custom for these counts
and no-accounts to be assigned small provin
ces, where they can rob, plunder and murder
at will. Whenever the people rise up against
one of these they expect to pay the price with
a few of their liberties taken away their prop
erty appropriated and other minor punish
ments which the fancy of the grieved party
might invent. The sad part the whole
affair is that the burden always falls on the
common people.
The only questions that The Hague Tri
bunal can not adjudicate are questions affect
ing national honor. As long us Europe
tolerates this unemployed class, just so long
will she continue to invite strife and blood
shed. In America we are all kings and
queens. Kings, queens, counts and no-accounts
in Purope are on the side of expense,
they represent what the country has invested
in useless enterprises.
The only available use that has been discover
ed so far for them is that they furnish hus
bands for the idle rich of America, who
readily fall in with the dog parties, cat fun
erals, diamond dog collars, and butterfly balls.

Servia claimed that Austria's complaints
were mostly "psychological."
The editor has been in several of the nearhv
towns lately and in every case he has heard
good words spoken about the way Heppner
is progressing. One man in Lexington spoke
of the clay current, stating what a fine thing
that was and wishing they had

troducing the European plan in
the dining room. At lone one man declared
that he would never live in lone another
year without getting the Council to oil the
streets. He said that he had seen the streets
in Heppner since they were oiled and was
surprised that it was done so cheaply. lone
will have oiled streets next year. Arrange
ment should be made with them to use the
sprinkler that we have. Some people might
not know it, but we have a dozen new
families in the city. Several of these are
experienced men with a trade. You can't
stand still in this world, when you do the
micobes of dissolution set to work. You
either go ahead or go back. Heppner offers
many more advantages than the average
county seat, Ave are adding to these.

The managers of the Tum-a-Lum yards at
lone and Lexington, Mr. Cronk and Mr. Rood,
respectively, deserve a word of praise. When
the Fair Board decided to erect some perman

Getting Together should be given the con
tract for the lumber. Since
the Fair is a county institution it as decided
to let all the lumber men put in bids. Mr,
Cronk and Mr. Rood came to Heppner at the
request of the Board. When they looked the
situation over they decided that the lumber
should be bought from the Heppner yards.
The contract would not materially effect, the
yearly sales of any company but the big idea
that we wish to mention is that it gives you
a line on the mental development of these
men. It shows a willingness to get together
and work tor the good of the fair, the indivi
duals and the entire county. Such a spirit as
this will make Morrow County go forward
with tremendous strides.
In a talk with Mr. Phelps we learn
that Morrow County is supplying
enough sweet corn for local consump
tion. Four years ago, Mr. Phelps
said, there was scarcely an ear grown
here. Bert Peck took the prize offered
by the O.-W. R. & N. for dry land
corn, which is no small honor. Ihe
railroad has encouraged corn produc
tion here and at the present time one
can see fields as good as you see in
the Central states.

IHE SCUTTLERS THE REFORMERS
BY HEPPNER BRANCH NO. 1
With the traditionnl faith which the
American people pluee in the be-it-en-acted
of a leirisUtive body, we are in
fair way to become the most regu
lated and circumscribed people in the
world. No king, desiring to hold his
throne, would dare to impose the re
strictions upon hi subject and to in
terfere in their private affairs as the
elected official of the American repre
scntntive democracy interfere in the
affair of the people.
With our It-giuiiitor deeming it a
distinction and a sign of progress to
be able to return to their constituents
and enumerate a Ion list of law
which they have initiated and en
acted to regulate this and penalize
that, we are In n fair way of getting
back to the good old day when there
were over a thousand crime in the
English lw that were deemed fel
onies. A notable nddre was delivered he-
fore the New York Mur Association b' '

penis on the changing view of lilier

'di iilimlism of the early part of thi
nineteenth century, ha thrown u in

of these law passed every election to
save the . masse from themselves.
These law hace failed to improve
the moral of anyone but have served
to exalt police authority and add one
more official crime.
Judge Cullen, in reviewing the de
cisions of the courts sustaining ar
bitrary authority and the extension of
official interference in the affairs of
the citiien, cited the mas of evidence
to show that many of the liberties
which we thought had been secured
from attack by constitutional gunrniv
tees, are being denied and undermined
We quote from the New York Sun's
report or hi address:
Of the decision of the West Vir
ginia court sustaining martial law
in the roul strike lone, he said:
"These decision exalt the mili
tary power beyond any height hith
erto known in thi country. They
assert the power of the military at
the uncontrolled discretion of a sin
gle man to dispose of the life and li
iieity of any person within the
slate, not by way of detention un
til the termination of an insurrec
tion, not where lite is taken in the
actual clash of arms, but purely a
punishment for act which may
not I offense at all by law.
Judge Cullen said that the "lust
for military intervention" has
grown until it is "becoming the
common practice in case of any
great disaster, such a fire or flood
to call out the military."
Relating how "a young lady act
ing a the secretary of the gover
nor," recently placed the town of
Copperfleld. Oregon, under martial
law because the civil authorities
failed to close the saloons, he said:
"Thus one violation of liberty and
law leads to another till the prac
tice becomes common."
Of the Minnesota law forbidding
reports of executions, Judge Cullen
declared that the court decisions
supporting it "enunciated a doc
trine" faUl to the liberty of the
press. He added:
"I believe that on nuinv subjects
it is right thnt the public mind
should be excited in spite of what
ever disadvantage may come from
thnt condition and I hnd supposed
that it was the inalienable right
of the press to excite public opinion
on the subject of any wrong so that
that wrong might be redressed."
Judge Cullen said thnt the pres
ent day tendency was to make all
human shortcoming crimes.
"In this state," tie said, "we now
ors in every state."

ooutiie that number of misdemoan-
The list of offenses which are be
ing committed in the name of the peo
ple against their own liberties could
be extended until it should compose
an astounding indictment of those who
govern in the people's mime.
When Jefferson said that "eternal
yigilunce is the price of liberty." he
indicated that each generation, if it
would be free, must protect and se
cure its own liberties.
The fathers are dead. They can do
nothing for us. We must tight our
own battles.
If our experiment in democracy is
not to perish, the musses of the peo
ple must become conscious of their
interest and realize that every denial
of freedom, he it of the individual
directly ,a the interference with their
wholesome amusements, or in the
denial of the liberty of the press and
freedom of speech, the setting up of
martial law and writ of injunction,
strikes at them and is calculated, if
not in every instance designed, to
hold them in subjection to a ruling
class.
We can not have a free democracy
where the citizen is made conscious
that to avoid arrest and prosecution as
criminal he must walk in fear of
