Q ; 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.

This power Is not the German people. It Is the ruthless master of the German people- . It Is our business to see to It that the history of the rest of the world Is no longer left to Its handling." President Wilson, August 27, 1917. 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 !
