Morrow County School Notes
Many of the schools have closed
and the majority of these, I am
glad to say, found ways of per
forming in the school some serv
ice having war value, a3 shown
by the reports which have come
into the office. These war ac
tivities have real educational val
ue, which at the same time link
up the public schools with the
ideal of service and self sacrifice
which our people are putting into
action and which awakens the
conscientious teachers, pupils
and parents to the essential uni
ty of the nation in this great cri
sis. The Junior Red Cross at Board
man sent a box containing seven
checker boards and checkers,
three fun-books, 4400 gun wipes,
in addition to the allotment as
signed them which was as follows:
Property bags, house gowns and
boys' trousers. They made 10 of
the bags, when their allotment
was three. A boys' coat was al
so found in the box and also a
box of dominoes.
The pupils and teacher in Dis
trict 31, in addition to their al
lotment, sent in two pairs of
of trousers and one blouse, three
property bags, 2200 gun wipes,
22 kitchen holders and two bed
quilts.
This teacher had an allotment
of shoulder shawls.and instead of
turning: it down as many of the
schools did she, having an in
genious turn of mind, conveived
the plan of using old gray woolen
socks, some that would not ravel
and some that would. Those that
would not she pieced together by
overcasting the seam and feath
er stitching over this. A border
was then crocheted out pf the
yarn from the socks that -.would
ravel and some odds and ends of
yarn which she gathered in the
neighborhood. When completed
it was dyed black.
Robert Max Garrett, director
of Junior Red Cros3 work, has
requested that this shawl be sent
to him to be placed on exhibition.
Another one just like it is nearly
boxes in which these ar
ticles will be packed and shipped
has been made and contributed
by the boys in the Heppner high
school auxiliary. The girls in
this auxiliary made three proper
tybags, a number of blouses and
gun-wipes and two housegowns.
A quilt of white and blue pieces
will be made by the Juniors of
the grammar school auxiliary of
Heppner. This quilt will be used
at the convalescent hospital at
Camp Lewis.

DEMOCRACY VERSUS AUTOCRACY
It Is commonly said that this war
is one in which America was forced
to take part in order to "make the
world safe for democracy." What
does the phrase mean?
The theories and acts of the Ger
man military autocracy definitely deny
the right of the people of a state to
rule themselves. The German people,
in spite of forms of government that
make a pretense of popular control,
have no such actual control over their
governors as exists in democratically
UivriiVjUiN the governors con be removed by
vote of the people in a general eleo
tion; in Germany the people have not
this power.
The aristocracy of Germany under
stand this difference, and are afraid
of the spread of democracy in Ger
many. The whole, much-admired "effi
ciency" of Germany is primarily due
to a desperate and constant effort by
Germany's rulers to divert the German
people from thoughts of self govern
ment, by offering them material pros
perity. And . the rulers have suc
ceeded. One of the causes of this
war was the necessity, by still fur
ther "glorious acquisitions of terri
tory," to hush the murmurlngs of
political discontent in Germany. Vic
tory in war, every so often, is a nec
essity of the German system. "It Is
for social as much as for national
and political reasons that we must
fix our minds incessantly upon war."
"Success ia necessary to gain influ
ence over the masses," wrote Bern
hardt; and General Von Biasing, Just
before his death, wrote a "Political
Testament," since largely circulated in
Germany, In which he argued for the
retention of Belgium, because, unless
it were annexed, the prestige of the
military autocracy would receive a
fatal blow.
Are we are the Allies then fight
ing to impose upon Germany a Sit
feretit system; Is that the meaning of
"making the world safe for democracy?"
Kllhu Root says that American
democratic Ideals Include "liberty not
for themselves alone but for all who
are oppressed." Lloyd George asserts
that if all countries had been demo
cratically organized, this war would
not have taken place; that this war
will determine not merely Interna
tlonal relations, hut will affect the
lives of peoples within their own po
tions, for generations to come; that
this war is to end In "international
democracy," I. e.. In liberty, equal
ity, and fraternity, between nations,
ureal and small. General Smuts, for
merly a soldier against Great Britain
In Kmith Africa, says that the essence
of this war Is the question wheihet
governments should be founded on
military might or on "principles of
equity, Justice, fairness and equality."
Various writers have depleted this
war as a test of democracy, to de
termine whether democracy ran id
Just llsi-lf to an emergency so that by 1
sheer efficiency It shall at least equal
ihe efficiency of ft military autocracy,
and assert that on this ground alone,
the future government of all the na- '
Hons of the world ll at slake Will !
