of Heppner and surrounding terri.
tory are alive to thel opportunity that

helping to build the circulation on a
paper for Heppner, something that is
needed by all and surrounding terri
tory and whenit is brought to the
attention of the people in the righo
manner, you will be surprised to

And at the end of the day you will
also be surprised at the pile of sub
scriptions you will have. SO GET

Woolen Makes
Against Compulsory School Bil
Hon. Dudley G. Wooten, who is
campaigning in this state against the
so.called compulsory educational bill,
addressed a crowd in front of the
Hotel Patrick Saturday evening when
he gave the voters a lot of facts about
that measure which it would be well
if every voter in the state might
hear.
Judge Wooten, who Is an ex-congressman
as well as a former ambas
sador to Mexico, is now a resident of
Seattle but he came to tills state to
tako part in the campaign because of
his deep interest in educational af
fairs as affected by this law which,
if emoted, will . stablish a state mo.
nopoly of education and religion in
Oregon. The subject on which Judge
., ooten spoke was "The Government
Ownership of Children."
"This bill was Initiated by fraud,
misrepresentation and misunder
standing," the speaker said, "The
men who fathered the bill falsely
claimed that they had secured 50,
000 signatures to the petitions In one
day when, as a matter of fact, after
the sec'y of state had rejected the
names of those duplicated and illegal,
there were ia roun 1 numbers, 16,
000 petitioners for the measure.
Tho bill seeks to usurp the rights
and duties of parents towards their
children, to step between the fathers
and mothers of Oregon and their off
spring, to disrupt the sacred ties and
obligations of domestic life and to in
troduce into America tho, present day
Russian form of education as practic
ed by the Soviet government. If we
adopt the Russian idea, the next step,
after tunning over our children to the
state, would be the government own
nershlp of women, as the mothers of
these children, and tho rearing of
children after the manner ot a poul
try yard or stock farm."
The speaker alco touched on the
economic side of the question show,
ing the heavy increase In school taxes
that must follow the adoption of such
a measure.
"The fundamenaol motive of this
proposed change in the school laws,"
tho speaker continued, "is to banish
all recognition of religion and moral
ity founded on religion from the
schools of the state. The stcular
press almost unanimously have con
demned the bill as un-American and
Rer. Hasl&m, who recently accept
ed a call to the pastorate of the local
Federated church, occupied the pul-
Sunday for the first time since
hW acceptance of the call. Mr. Has
lam preached here several times a
few weeks ago, however, and made
such a favorable impression on the
congregation that a call was tendered
him.
The Federated Sunday school is
making a drive this week for an at
tendance of 260 next Sunday as will
be seen by an advertisement in this
Ufeue of the Herald.
The church has been without
regular pastor for some time and in
creased activity in the work is plan,,
ned for the future.
SAYS SWAGjGART HORSES BEST
William Byers, of Salem, was an
interested visitor at the Uodoo last
week coming from tho ikima Fair
where he had been working his string
of racing and educated horses. Mr
Byers is a prominent horseman and
makes a specialty of i lling show
horses at all the big gaieiings on tne
coast. He now owns ji sting of six
Oregon, Creamotlner. bred and raised
by Ben Swaggart, well known Mor.
row county stockman, ana he says
the Swaggart strain is without doubt
the best show horses in the country
combining as they do beauty, grace
and a high order of intelligence
Mr. Byers works his team in a char
lot race act that, is a favorite at the
big fairs and he is- now about to con
tract with one of the big movie con
cerns1 in southern California to use
them in the production of Ben Hur,
which is to be screened this winter
Strong Speech
aimed at the sacred constitutional
right of every citizen to practice th
religion of his choice and to have his
children instructed in" the funda
mentals of such religion in their
early years' if he so desires."
Judge Wooten also pointed out
that no less than seven arguments
against the bill have been printed i
the Oregon Voters Pamphlet comin
from the Lutherans, the Episcopal
ians, the Presbyterians, the Advent-
ists, the Catholics, the secular prlvae
schools' and from a committee of 1
prominent citizens of. Portland repn
senting many different denomina
tions. The speaker also referred
the fact that the bill had its incep
ion with a small number of members
of the Scottish Rite Degree of tho
Masonic order and that many persons
have received the Impression that the
great Masonic fraternity Is behind the
measure. This, he said is a mistake
and In proof of that statement said
that within the last few days while
speaking against the measure at Bak
er, La Grande and Pendleton, he was
introduced by Scottish Rite Masons at
all of those towns.
In conclusion Judge Wodten said
"Why should the private schools of
this state be destroyed?" There has
never been any complaint that they
were violating the law or teaching
anything they ought not to teach, or
in any way detracting from the citi
zenship and civllizaion of the state.
Tne various' religious denominations
of this state, including Protestants-,
Catholics and Jews have been main
taining private schools in which ex
actly the same course of instruction
is followed that is prescribed by the
state and taught in the public schools
and the state authorities exercise
supervision over that course of in
struction both in the private and in
the publio schools. But, In addi
tion to this curriculum these religious
schools teach the form of religious
faith and the system of morality bas
ed upon it which is believed in by the
tounders and patrons' of the school.
This is their constitutional right
secured to them by the constitution
of the United States and by the con.
stitution of every state in the union,
including Oregon for thirf Is a land
dedicated to the great American prin
ciple of liberty of conscience and
absolute equality and freedom of re
ligion among the people."
RECORD CROWD WITNESSED
FINE DAILY PROGRAM
Timely Rains I,aid Dtst and Made
Weather Couditidiis Ideal '
Everything seemed to unite in con
tributing to the success of the first
annual Heppner Rodeo which was
held last Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. A fine rain fell Wednesday
night effectually puttng the dust out
of business and reducing the high
temperature that had prevailed for
several days previously.
The track and arena were in splen
did condition and the bucking and
race stock were full of pep and ac
tion. ,
The attendance was perhaps the
largest attending any similar event
in the county a total of more than
4000 people being present durnigj tha
meeting.
No serious accidents marred the
show although the bucking bull and
several of the bucking . horses gave
tho riders about all they wanted in
rough treatment.
The bleachors' were crowded
to capacity Friday and Saturday and
the entire grounds were Surrounded
with parked cars.
Roundup fans" who were present
united in high praise for the manage.
ment of the Rodeo as well as for the
work done by the committee of
judges composed of Hon. R. J. Car
sner, of Spray, Champ Wilson, of
Monument and Ben Jory, of Hermis
ton, all. well known stockmen and
square shooters in everything with
which they aro connected. Heppner
hats are all off to those men as well
as to C. W. McNamer, L. V. Gontry
and Charlie Latourell, general com
mittee in charge, who gave of their
time and energy without s'tlnt to
make the affair the great success it
was.
The Dalles City band also came in
for much praise for the prize music
funished during the 3day meeting.
No band ever employed at a simillar
event In Heppnor gave as much high
grade music for the money. The
Dalles band is not lazy but seem to
strive to give satisfaction.
Very successful dances were given
at tho pavilion each evening and a '49
dance with all the trimmin's of bar
and gambling gainies attracted mush
attention and patronage. This fea
ture was under the management of
the American Legion post.
Tho general opinion in Heppner
now is that the Rodeo will be mado
an annual event here.
