,J't the Herald was not far wrong
in referring to Harry Cummings as
1 Tecofcnized loader of local Republi
canism is indicated by the fact that
tin.- lortland Oregonian, acknowledg
ed leader in Republican journalism
on the Pacific coast, recently devoted
almost a column of editorial space to
the following excellent review of the
campaign song recently written by
Mr. Cummjngs. In justification of
the Herald's statement it may, at
least, be said that in, this nor any
recent campaign has any Heppner
man received such distinguished rec
ognition, it being evident that the
reference to Charley Thomson is in
cidental to a proper application of
the ;h(irua. The editorial follows:
All lovers of fair play were of
course indignant when they read
fj ,,imocratic miscreants stuffed
VJ iraw ballot box at Harry Cum
( ings political meeting at Heppner,
the other day. Mr. Cumniings is a
writer of sprightly verse, which is
peculiarly attractive for its novelties
in meter and Its bold resort to
poetic license. Mr. Cumniings, so
the verified account runs, hired the
town moving picture palace at his
own expense, and after the reels had
been run, spoke on republican polit
ical principles and sang his justly
famous campaign song, exactly as
advertised.
How deeply some persons are
steeped In partisanship may be in
ferred when the argumentative vigor
and lofty sentiment of the Cumniings
composition are known and It :s re
called that these persons were in
spired to no higher thoughts than
the stuffing of a straw ballot.
The Cummings republican cam
paign song, unlike the common dog
gerel that passes as political verse,
Is both inspirational and logical. The
song Itself Is properly set forth with
a prelude, introductory as It were,
yet not neglectful of the painful
reminiscences that are required by
the appeal of the song itself. Thus
we rd:
The political pot begins to sizzie; it
will soon begin to boil.
The Democrats have made a fizzle;
our even tempers they do roll.
Cox's charges of slush fund has got
him deep In the mire
And made everybody know we can
not believe what he says.
Suppose everybody gave to a Repub
lican campaign fund
To cloct Senator Harding, where
Is
any harm done?
To descend from the logical to the
plaintive and do it gracefully I not
the gift of every poet ut Mi'. Cum
niings does It. as witness-:
Their cnri'le, wasteful expenditures
' and ulter lack of bimlnMts sense.
Has cost this nation billions of dol
lars of unnecessary expense. .

While his many obligations the poor
fellow cannot meet.
My friends this is awful; let us
f;uickly set about
And elect Senator Harding and turn
the rascals out.
CHORUS
Xcw rally one and all, republican in
terests to advance,
Lest a democratic badge appears on
the seat of your pants.
The song ends with what might be
termed a somewhat daring stanza.
It rims:
Dear ladies, vote for Harding and
the clouds will pass away,
And you can all have beautiful
dresses to wear just every day.
And all you men come to their res
cue, let no one hestitate,
To save our noble women from such
an awful fate.
Now rally one and all, republican in
terests to advance,
Lest everybody has to wear a patch
on thr pants.
In Heppner there is one Charley
Thomson whose political affiliations
are not disclosed but may be sus
pected. Charley, is appears, in
analyzing the chorus of the Cum
mings song, has made derogatory
remarks about it on the ground that
tha democratic badge, mentioned
therein, is too broad in its applica
tion, in view of the participation of
women in the responsibilities of gov
ernment. So Charley is put in his
proper place with this cutting re
joinder: And I say to Charley Thomson, don't
worry any more,
Harding will soon be our president
and our troubles will be o'er.
There is of course much more to
the song but enough has been given
to disclose the irreconcilable and
resentful attitude of those Heppner
citizens who stuffed that straw bal
lot. Plainly enough they were des
perate over the far-reaching effect
of the Cummings composition and
sought by underhanded means to
offset it.
Mr. Cummings, as may be guessed,
is not through yet. He writes that
he is "going to pull off one of the
greatest stunts of this twentieth cen
.tury. There will be a great sensa
tion within two or three weeks."
We believe it.

Sentiment In Morrow county Is
with the Umatilla people in opposing
the proposed Columbia River high
way extension from Umatilla to Wal
lula, a letter received from the Hepp
ner Commercial Club today says. The
letter wan In answer lo a communi
cation addressed by I lie Pendleton
Commercial Association to nearby
counties, aHklng their opinion on the
proposal.
"There are between 2 5 and SO
miles of road graded In' Ihis county
for the Oregon-Washington high
way," Secretary S. A. Pattison
writes. "Wlu lhcr lliis will be sur
faced this year tills county has ser
ious doubt. We feel that Eaaf :
vregun Should UlalU together for a
square deal liti roads rather 'than
0 dlni'l travel and business to
Washington."
The Heppner club has taTten no
official action on the matter but Is
believed to be favorable lo suggest

Orego Interests be completed before
such a project as the Wallula road

THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON
TREAT FULL SEED

Suggestions
Kx-
Treatsd seed this fall is the chief
factor in smut control en late plant
ings, since the early rains have germ
inated the smut spores in the soil so
early that they will have died for
want of host plants. One pound dis
solved bluestone to each 5 gallons of
water, followed by a lime bath to
prevent ej:cessive seed injury, is
recommended by the O. A. C. plant
pathologists. Formaldehyde, 1 pint
to 40 gallons of water, is recommend
ed where germination is li'kely to be
prompt.
C. H: Bogart, Benton county
farmer, plowed several furrows
around a field last fall when he was
halted by rain. He plowed the, whole
field in the spring and planted it to
oats. While the crop was generally
poor, the portion on the replowed
land yielded twice as much as the
once plowed lot, reports George W.
Kable, Benton county agent.
How silage added to alfalfa hay
cuts in half the cost and time of fat
tening young steers for market is
told in the new Oregon station bulle
tin, "Fattening Steers," now 'ready
for free distribution. Other feeding
practices that will help the livestock
man whether he can afford to buy
fatten steers for market or not, are
explained on the basis of a six-year
test at the Union branch station.
Send to O. A. C. for free copy.
Oil sprays have thus far failed to
control such fungous trouble as ap
ple scab and anthracnose, peach
blight and leaf curl, and brown rot,
against which the Oregon grower has
to fight, says Prof. Barss, plant
pathologist at the O. A. C. Experi
ment station: Dependence on them
has caused thousands of dollars loss
to Oregon fruit men, and growers
are urged to use only the standard
lime or copper-containing sprays put
on at the proper time. If In doubt
about any new spray material they
are invited to consult the experiment
station, as tne agents claims are
extravagant and often groundless.
If In doubt as to prospective pro
fits In buying up feeder steers nnd
fattening them, for the market, send
for the latest feeding information
which is contained In the new experi
ment station bullet in. It will show
you how production costs and feed
ing time were cut In two. Also bow
to figure costs and returns. Every
man who feeds entile will find help
In thl'" leporl of six years tests at
the Ftution.
The armies of slugs snlly forth tilth
wet weather to eat ragged holes In
Icaiy vegetables at night and hide so
ff'"tlveiy In daytime, heed a good
dose of calcium arsenate. Use at
the rate of 1 pound to 25 gallons
of water about a rounding table
Simon (o one gallon, say the 0. A. C.
entomologists.

as a Democrat -et do not believe in
the League U' Nations, your logical
choice for pn -:. -nt is Harding. If
you believe in a l..agUe 0f Nations
then your nan:-.; ! choice is Cox, this
regardless of l:..w you may register.
How can we !ia ... a true referendum
if people do iay partisanship
aside and vi.te their honest beliefs
ou the question referred to them?
No one can safely vote for Hard
ing on the assumption he will join
the league aay.vay if elected. He
ss positively iu. won't do it ana
even if he should change his mind
he could not pel the senate to ratify
the treaty. The irreconcilable sena
tors would block the treaty, claim
ing that, the people had spoken and
oposed the league. They would have
a right to say that if Harding is
chosen. The German-American ele
ment will hold the senate in line
against the league if Harding wins.
The Johnson-Borah faction would
help them and threaten a split if
they did not have their way. Lodge
would uphold them in. such a stand.
The only hope for the league con
sists in a victory at the polls by the
pro-league side or in other words by
the election of Governor Cox. If
Cox is elected this country will rati
fy the treated with any needed reser
vations. If Harding is elected we
stay out and the only course will be
to build up our army and navy in
preparation for the next struggle
which many people believe may not
be long delayed if the League of Na
tions goes into the discard. The
embers of war still smoulder and
there are sufficient breezes right
now to fan them into a flame with
out much warning. What we need
is a fire department and that Is ex
actly what the League of Nations is.
If you donlt believe in a modern fire
department and think the old Hague
tribunal town pump provides all the
protection the world needs that is
your privilege. It Is appropriate to
recall, however, that there are ten
million men who cannot express
themselves this fall on the adequacy
of the Hague tribunal in preventing
war because they are beneath the
soil. Once these men lived as you
live, loved and were loved. Now
they Bleep and one of that brave
throng wrote before he died:
"If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though pop
pies grow
In Flanders fields."
