MIND NOT DESTROYED BY DEATH
A SOLDIER in France who won a war cross as a mem '
her of the French Foreign Legion before being finally
'killed in action wrote a letter to a friend in America :n
which expressed the soldier's viewpoint of death and im
mortality and points out the impossibility that mind can
be destroyed or that death ends all.
He wrote: "A man's soul must include his capacity
for action, work, his creative faculties, 1 think; to mc our
power to imagine and create is one of the evidences of God
in us. That, and the numbers of young men just on the
threshold of their creative life musicians, writers, paint
ers, men who could look at a ri v cr and vision and build
power plants and factories; yes, and soldiers who could
look at a map and vision armies in place and maneuvering
these men, killed, utterly destroyed in a few seconds by
a few ounces of explosives, have made impossible the be'
Jief that all that their minds held is definitely lost to hu
;manity. I believe that death is followed by life as surely
as sunset is followed by sunrise.
"All this has taught me to regard death as an episode
something like one's twentyfirst birthday, which turns
one into a citizen and a voter. It has lost much of its mys
tery and all of its terror. 1 have a curiousity, an eagerness
to see and begin the new life, tempered by a wish to know
this one a little more fully."
lie relates a number of heroic actions and among oth
ers this: "During a battle a man who was horribly wound
ed in the stomach crawled n half-mile, holding his intes
tines in place with his hand, to deliver a message to the
Colonel of my regiment. It is unbelievable that such a
high spirit should perish with the body it drove. Somc
linies I dread the return to ordinary life aftcr the war.
Here one sees so much devotion, high endeavor, forgetful
ness of self, so much 'honorable advancement for the
.soul,' that, one fears a great revulsion of feeling at the
sight of the same men reverting to every-day selfishness."
The following brief rc.-,um5 of mi
nor laws passed by t'.ie late legisla
ture but of considerable interest to
the general public is reproducod
from our esteemed contemporary thy
Hermiston Herald:
Assault with intent to kill may
now be punished with a life sentence
The old law provided one to ten
years.
County courts may hereafter levy
a tax and create a fund for the pay
ment of bounties for killing gophers,
moles, graydiggers, squirrels and
other rodents. The people of any
county may initiate a law providing
a bounty on jack rabbit scalps to be
voted on only at any state election.
Notes given for life insurance pre
miums are now non-negotiable for
thirty days and must be given to the
company instead of the agent. This
is to prevent loss due to failure to
deliver policy.
The sheriff must turn over all
money collected from taxes to the
county treasurer each week, taking
receipts in duplicate, one for tlio
sheriff's office and another far the
Influenza, of which there were many
throughout the state.
It will be a misdemeanor after
May 29 to offer for sale or sell an
automobile whose manufacturer's
serial number or other distinguish
ing number or identification mark
shall have been removed. This is to
catch the joy rider and the auto
thief.
The lawful requirement of butter
fat in ice cream has been reduced
from IS to 8 percent. Fruit ice
cream may contain only 6 percent of
butterfat instead of 9 and the same
of nut ice cream. The new law in
creases the protection of the public
as to purity and cleanliness of man
ufactured creams.
The law for the protection of ani
mals from cruelty has1 been amended
to provide for the dehorning of cat
tle or the docking of horses and
sheep according to methods common
ly practiced by stockmen. The law
wa seldom enforced, but formerly
any stockman who dehorned 'his herd
or bobbed the lambs tails was sub
ject to a fine and imprisonment.

in
I T 1896 some people had a fit over the possibility of be
ling compelled to accept their labor, their commodities,
or in payment of debts, a fifty cent dollar.
At that date the per capita circulation of money in
this country was less than $H. It is now a little more than
5 1 -oo.
You could buy eight pounds of the best bacon for a
dollar. Today, eight pounds of bacon costs of $5.00.
If we had a fifty cent dollar measured by the purchas
ing power of the 1896 dollar, eight pounds would cost us
only two dollars.
It will be seen by the above example that we are now
doing business with a o cent dollar despite the fact that
we still have the gold standard.
We voted tor gold in order to get a dollar of "un
changing value." Isn't that what learned financiers said?
't he gold bugs fooled us.
Today a silver dollar is worth more than a gold dol
lar. The bullion in five silver dollars is worth five cents
more than a $5.00 gold piece.
The silver bugs told us that without repnonetization
l silver, his could not be possible.
The silver bugs fooled us.
