THE FOOLISHNESS OF SOME PEOPLE
There is living today in Belgium one of the
irreatcst writers of all times. Maurice Maeter
linck is his name. The reason we mention him
is that the little hook which he wrote some
time ago, "The Life of the Bee," would be in
teresting and profitable reading for some of
our friends. f you have read it, 'twill do no
harm to read it again. The peculiarity about
this book is that you read things into it, quite
as much as you read things out of it. The
more one reads, sees and travels, the more he
finds out that the so-called gifted men are but
expressing his own thoughts. Reading, at the
least, is only self-discovery. Maeterlinck says
that alone a bee has no intelligence, but that a
hive of bees has great and wonderful intelli
gence. A man alone, like a bee, has no intelli
gence. All of our activities have other people
in mind, the more we can fuse ourselves with
humanity and work with humanity, forgetting
l ". Mie greater will be our regard.
n 'i H'gcnt community today knows that
.i i.. to .succeed, certain prejudices, hates and
lines of cleavage must be broken clown and dis
carded. In the forward looking communities
v irking together for a common good
... .! a common purpose, understanding, seem
ingly, that they are a part and particle of one
another, and that they can succeed only as they
help other people.
Now it so happens that the Government,
disimus of showing the wonderful advantages
:r h the I' arcel Post brings to the country
n I the citizen of the small town,
g..,nts permission to the Postmaster to make
educational displays at Fairs and other gath
erings of the people which will result in good.
As is well known, one of the main objections of
the Parcel Post before it was adopted was
that it would injure the small towns, drive peo
I !( to the cities, making farming undesirable
and result m general disaster. We have a lurk

that such an order was issued.

Post in carrying the products of Sears and
Roebuck and Montgomery Ward & Co. There
on display were packages of different sizes and
weights with the price of carriage from Sears
and Roebuck's nearest distributing point. The
entire affair looked like the Catalog Clique had
been putting in time and a-third. Of course we
were not surprised when the citizens and busi
ness men promptly objected and the display
was assigned to the scrap-heap.
The government exists for all people and
when we select a man to act in our capacity
in any community, we expect him to work faith
fully and well, to expect anything less would be
folly. The Post Office department belongs to
the people and exists because they support it,
standby it and patronize it. To the degree that
we expect a man to work for the interest of the
people to whom he hands out the daily mail, do
we believe that the post-office belongs to us.
Every postmaster takes an oath that he will do
his work to the best of his ability arid when
he does not, the bonding companies burn the
midnight oil to explain matters. But the big
thing of the whole matter is that as communi
ties we face the struggle for existence just the
same as the individual and eternal vigelence is
the price or more things than liberty. We can
ill afford to trifle with those who are completely
and continually out of tune with the spirit of
the community, the spirit of co-operation,
mutual helpfulness and do-it-together. To ob
serve these tendencies requires but feeble per
ception and to be unaware of them tokens the
lagard and inefficient. Such is the scheme of
life and to those who can not adjust them
selves, the way is rocky, uncertain dark and
dank.

CAUSE OF THE PRESENT WAR
BREWERS PUT UP FUNDS
At the Literary Program of the
Heppner High School, held in the
auditorium last Friday afternoon, Mr.
Harley Adkins delivered a paper on
"Who is Responsible For the Present
European War." Mr. Adkins had pre
pared a very interesting paper on this
subject and we reprint it in full be
low, feeling that many of our read
ers will be greatly interested.
"Negotiations between Austria,
Germany, Russia, France and Eng
land were carried on by letters, tele
grams and conversations for a period
of fifteen days preceeding the war.
Both England and Russia have pub
lished some of this official correspon
dence in what is called their "white
book." Here follows some of the im
portant facts given by the Germans:

On June 28, last the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne
of Austria-Hungary, and his wife
were assisinated at Sarjevo, the capi
tal of Bosnia, by two Bosniacks
Slavs, but subjects of Austria.
Austria regarded this as the fruit of
Servian agitation against Austria
Hungary and began an investigation
without indicating this fact to Servia.
Soon after this Sir Edward Grey, the
English Minister for Foreign Affairs
wrote the English Ambassador at
Berlin, expressing fear lest war should
grow out of this incident. Four days
later Austria presented an official pap
er to the Servian Government saying''
that the Assasination at Serjevo w;f J
planned in Belgrade, the Servian capN
tal; that it was the culmination of a
series of Servian agitations against
Austria-Hungary, and - t"he Austrian
Government demanded that Servia

failed.
The exposure by Dr. Cora
Talbott, secretary of the
' ' Taxpayer s ' and W age
Earners' League," that the
organization consisted of two
persons, Mrs. Duniway and
Dr. Talbott, and was fi
nanced by the brewers and
distillers to make Oregon
"wet," threw the fat into
the fire.
The brewers and distillers
know that all kinds of busi
ness save theirs is better in a
drv town
They know this has been proved
by figures and facts from Salem,
Oregon City, Roseburg, Albany
Newberg, Ashland, Corvallis, Pen
dleton and many other towns.
Organization Spread. Untruth.
So they organized the "Taxpay
ers' and Wage Earners' League" to
spread misinformation about Ore
gon dry.
I They know bank deposits in dry
towns have increased in number
and amount. They know bad debts
are almost unknown in all d
towns. They know collections arc
better. They know arrests from
drunkenness are almost unknown.
They know every dry town in Ore
gon it prosperous.
So, they became desperate.
Taxpayers' League Is "Jolte."
Then they organized the joke
"Taxpayers' and Wage Earners'
League." Dr. Talbott was secre
tary. She became disgusted when
she learned money was being col
lected by the brewers and distil
leries by the use of her name, and
she resigned.
Then Mrs. Duniway advertised
lavishly, announcing that the money
the "league" was using was pro
vided by the brewers.
The campaign of misinformation
carried on by employes of the
league, who are also employes of
the breweries and distilleries, is
now known all over Oregon.
Brewers Spending Your Money.
Every man, woman and child
has to spend $20 a year with the
saloons.
If you do not drink, some one
else has to pay YOl'H share.
So, it is YOl'H money the Ore
gon brewers and Eastern distil
leries have been using to persuade
YOl' Oregon wet will do YOU
good. It is believed they expect
to spend over $200,000 of YOl'H
money.
They know Oregon dry will put
them out of business and help every
: other kind of business in the state.
Although the breweries and iiu.
lilleries know Oregon dry is for
belter business, prosperity and
more work, they are fighting it. j
No Saloons; Better Business.
We have had bad times with the j
saloon, haven't we? Why not try I
no saloon? It can't make things
worse ami is certain to make
things bitter.
The reason is:
Money spent on the saloon can
not be spent for groceries. Money
spent In the saloons much of it
goes East. Money spent for dry
goods and groceries stays in the
towns and makes better business.
The members of the Committee of
One Hundred are all Oregonians.
Most of them are liusimt
They ask you to vote Oregon dry,
because they know, as the brew,
ers also know, that Oregon dry
means belter business, lower taxes,
more work uiu! a return to pros
pel ity.
1'or the experience of nil Ore
gon dry towns has proved this to
be the case.
