Hard To Reconcile.
How is the Bull Moose nartv goina
to reconcile its cardinal platform
plank "Thou shalt not stel" with its
avowed intention to choose in every
tate where it can be done, so-called
republican electors who are pledged
to cast thier vote In the electoral col
lege for Colonel Roosevelt running on
a third parry ticket?
Is it strictly ethical for a pary that
la busing its appral to the people on
tho commandment, "Thou shalt not
stel" to profit bv the votes of men
who are masquerading under the col
ors and name of the party that it has
expressly condemned and cast off?
Is it in accord with the spirit of
the commandment "Thou shalt not
steal" to stack the 'deck against an
opponent? For if the Bull Moose
party succeeds in uledsing republican
electors to cast their ballots io the
electoral college for a man who is
not the choice of the republican nary,
the republican voter will be playing
agairst a stacked deck. He will be
bucking a surething came. He will
be conifonted with the alternative of
votirg for an elector who is pledeed
not to carry out his will; or of not
voting at ail. Ha will thus 1"! bis
vote if he does, and will In; f. ho
does not.
The elector is bound by an irm ten
pledere to naet his Plectc&i n-,l'os for
the candidite.cominatec! by hi 4 p;.it.

-rrtundmont "Thou snait not steal
whan he breaks that pledge? A few
years :: there was an effort here in
Oregon to induce state legislators to
break their Statement Oue pledee,
which is essentially similar to the
elector's pledge. Was that consider
ed an ethical procedure? Or was it
not condemned with a violence that
was measured onlv by the limits of
the condemners' vocabulary?
Can it be that the plank "Thou
shalt not stal" ia tut a fly-batcher

Mr. H. H. CoheD, the gerial cron
statistican and commercial editor of
the Oregon Journal was in Condon this
week and made us a Dleasaut call.
He hai been all over these three coun
ties writing up crop conditions for his
publication. Mr. Cohen's estimate
of Gilliam county's grain exports this
fall i3 4, OCO ,000 bushels aud he has
not over estimated, as we are suing to
have an enormous crop. We insured
some wheat this week that will make
all of 40 bushels to the acre and per
haps more. Weather conditions are
ideal, and numbers of harvest hands
are coming in every evening. . Let
them come, there will be jobs for all
and to spare. In another couple of
weeks or ten days harvest will be
general all over the county and no
man need be idle that really wants to
work. Condon limes.
We rejoice with our Gilliam County
neighbors over this splendid crop
showing. They are entitled to it.
Morrow county is not behind either
and will deliver the greatest crop of
wheat io ita history. All we need is
a few years of what these counties are
to turn off this season.
Now if the proper time to be mak
ing selection of grains, for the Fall
fairs and care should be exercised in
preparing the grains in bundles of
proper dimension!. It will pay to
taki a lutle lime for this and get
gra.iiR with uniform heads and length
of straw. It shoold be made uo In
brndUs measuring about five inches
around and carefully ti d and labeled.
AH camples should bn delivered to
Judue C 0. Patterson, aeoretarv of
the Booster Club and he will care for
them until thu time for their shipment
to the fairs. All interested ptrties
can receive further information by
calling on or addressing the Secretary
at Heppner. Don't pass this uu for
Morrow county must have a proper
showing at the fairs and land ehowa.
There is not a better way to adver
tise our resources. There ia a $300(1
prize to be carried off by some local
ity in the Northwest: Morrow conuty
has always stood at the head n the
grain contests at world's fairs and
county fairs and it shonld stand a

son. Heppner's streets are getting
mighty dusty, especially Main street,
and thn nuisance is almost, intolerable
when the wind blows, even slightly.
Just why the water-wagou has jumped
the job, this paper does not know,
unless it is a sort of a holtl-np same.
The city is not ready with their water
yet for this pupose, and it is begin
ning to develoD that they will not
likely have enough water from the
well recently dug. In the meantime
a number of the business men are be
coming very much interested in the
proposition to oil the streets if it is
found that the experiment can be car
ried out without too much expense.
Many believe that the oiling of the
streets will settle the dust pru'ulem.
as well as kill off the weeds and

FROM OVER THE STATE.
CVnui unity spirit was demons'rated
to a remarkable extent by Oregon
cities at the recent TJkls convention in
Poralnd. This was one of tiio most
notable features of the gathering.
The various places where Elks lodges
exist made a surprisingly good show
!ns in the big Elks parade that opened
wide the eyas of Portland and of the
visitors.
Those who have beleved Oregon to
be a state with one city changed their
minds when they saw the parade ;and
the long column of Elks from the four
cornors of the state sweep along Port
land's streets. The active support of
the state cities made the parade the
big success it proved. The occasion
further proved how much Portland
relies on its friends in the interior in
accomplishing any really big thing

BRIGNOLI IN A RAGE.

silent. "No." be died to those about
him; "I refuse to sing agulu. I refuse
to respond to the pucore."
Rarhagelata, who was more clever
than the ordinary servant, humbly ap
proached and said:
"Signor Brignoll, you snng that like

The old fellow nearly wept.

INSTANT DEATH.
It Is Not So Quick but That the Mind
Has Time to Act.
It Is questionable If such n phenom
enon us Instant death Is known to the
scientist und Investigator. Physicians
and surgeons tell us that dentb by kud
shot wound Is the easiest mode of
terminating life; yet, rapid as sucb a
mode of taking off must necessarily be,
the body has leisure to feel and time
to reiU'cf fiiiij . !j rare occasions even to

tho Lall passed through the bones of
his face and brought him to the ground.
In the Instant which preceded stupe
faction, however, be was able to frame
the notion that the celling of a room
bad fallen In and crushed hitn.
Another question In this connection
Is that of probable pain. Although nu
merous Instances could be cited In
support of the view that the mind acts
In .cuses of so called instant death. It
by no means follows that the Infliction
of a fatal blow is attended by the least
semblance of pnln or a single pang of
feur or regret. Unless death results
immediately, however, the paiu may
be as varied as tbe nature of the In
juries. Winning a Fur Coat.
Tbe artist Hans Canon once paint
ed a Husshin prince lu a miiKuitlcent
fur man tie wbicb took his fancy so
greatly that be endeavored to bit on a
plan by wbicb be might retain posses

trait he omitted to return the garment,
and to the letter requesting blm to do
so be made no reply. One day when
looking out of a window be saw the
prince coming toward his bouse, nas
tily slipping Into tbe garb. Canon sat
down In an armchair near the tire.
The prince, who bad come for bis coat,
starred on seeing Canou groaning and
trembling at tbe fireside. "What Is
the" matter with you?" he asked. "Oh."
groaned Canon. "1 don't know what it
is, but 1 feel so weak and wretched,
and I cannot get warm. Two days
ago my brother died of smallpox, aud
I am a bit nervous about myself."
The artist kept tbe coat.
Disdrich Knickerbocker.
It may be that a Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live in the early
history of New York, but if he did
there are no records extant to prove It
Tbe truth Is, the name was created by
Washington Irving, who applied It to
all residents of New York In bis time
who happened to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers. Irving used
this quaint Dutch character lu bis
"Knickerbocker History of New York"
to burlesque the early days of the city.
The volume purported to have been
tbe work of , Dledrich Knickerbocker
and gnve nn amusing and satirical ac
count of tbe early Dutch settlers. Rec
ords of the period tell us that tbe book
bitterly offended their descendants,
who never forgave Irving for his fling
at them. New York Tlmea.
Boiled Oysters.
In "Social Life In tbe Reign of Queen
Anne" Swift writes to Stella. "Lord
Masbam made me go borne with blm

their shells clean; then put your oys
