It is no slighting lvnuirk when v- say thai
it docs not require a man with a college degree
to make the tiiherruliu test in animals. In
fact hundreds of farmers are doing it all over
this hroad land of ours.
"Red-Tape" In every agricultural
Hard on Cattle. (school worthy of pas
sing notice this is one
of the first, tilings which the farmer lad is
taught to do. Tiiherculosis is a terrible
discji.se and everv nrecaution should he used
to curb its growth and to stamp out where
it now presents itself. At the present time
a breeder of fancy cattle must have every
nnnnnl which he sells examined for tuber
culosis. No one wants to buy a diseased ani
mal, which is lilting and proper. Of course
it is impossible to ship cat tie outside the
ntale which arc not accompanied with a bill
of health. If a man in lone wants to sell a
registered animal to a man in Ileppner, he
sends for the veterinarian in Pendleton who
conies ami examines the animal and issue
him a certificate. To get, this certificate will
cost him not less than $'jr. This is what we
call "red-tape" in the, administration of
government and what is driving our best men
out of the fancy stock business.
One of our leading stockmen recently told
us that this condition of affairs is what, is
driving him out of the business. Surely it
is somethinir that votl can letchenze on. As
far as we have been able to find out. to master
the technique of the tuberculin test would not
take over two hours and there arc plenty of
men here who possess the mental development
to trust, with the matter. Lmwh are only
crystali.ed public opinion and we believe
public opinion is in line for a change in the
matter of testing cuttle. Let's look to the
laws and retain those men in the cattle busi
ness. o
A Matter of
Comparison.

The Fair Season is almost over. We saw

argument to the effect that we do not pos

any in the slate, which is the same as saying
ill the entire Pacific Northwest.
One thing which impresses us is the fact
that you can't hold a combination Fair and
Pace Meet to advantage. One or the other
will be but a side attraction and in most cases
the races pio e the main drawing card. It
is no overstatement when we say that the
Miimr display at the local fair would have
compared favorably w ith the entire Tri Coun
ty agricultural exhibit. An institution of
this kind is a miserable failure if it happens
to rain so that the races can not be held. Al
so another cardinal drawback to Ihe race

as "tillers" for the races. At. the Tri Conn

nuutey in sUeh factories lor the short period
of the war after the war is over they want
kimw that the tariff will bo right to enable

The tariff must be made to equal at least
the difference in the labor cost hero and
abroad, or we will not have the factories in
America and we will continue to have men
out of work and wages in all our manufactur
ing centers.
The thing to do is to make the tariff wholly
American and to do it as quickly as possible,
in order that we may resume normal manu
facturing and commercial conditions again.
We have never prospered under free trade
and until labor conditions are equalized, we
never will.
See that the tariff is made right, and that
must lie by electing the right kind of a con
gress this year.

There are some men who possess such 11 iiery
temperament that when they reach out for
words and none of the size and caliber are
handy they manufacture some for the oc
casion. 1 lie business ot comma: words goes

Coining Words, the present lime the
various trade-names
have been devised by men who have hit upon
some happy combination of everyday words.
The word Nabisco, used by the National
Biscuit Company, was made by taking tin
first two letters of National, the first three of
Biscuit and the first two of Company. The
word Pcleo, the name of (he famous lighting
system on automoliiles. was iormed hv fak
ing the first letters of each of the words.

It is said that the word Barber was used
to designate those men who trimmed the
beards of the barbarians who lingered around
tin' city of Koine after they had sacked the
cny, iney iieing desirous ol appearing like
the ltonians. The word news, according lo
some, was first used in Switzerland. In the

stores where the mountaineers went to get

directions met here and brought the reports
of what was going on in all parts of the
world. On the roofs were weather vanes
with the letters N, V), W, X, on the four points
of the vane. Some man joined them togeth

the place where information of the world's
events could be found.
When a prince gets a scratch lie gets lots of
advertising out of it, hut there are a hundred
thousand poor devils who have deeper
wounds who get no mention at nil, and the
worst of it is they are getting their wounds
out of a war that began with the misfortunes
of a priucelet at Sarajevo a little barnacle,
or festering son- on nineteenth century civ ili
zalioti, which is about the most that can be
said for any prince and the wonder is that in
this age any one should follow the doctrine
that one family can inherit the right to gov
ern another and call it divine.
"What side is your paper on in this Ku

more or less, indulge in discussions growing
out of the w ar.
