THE NEW BIRTH OF AMERICAN FREEDOM. Spokesman-Review. The freedom of the people as mod ern democracy knows this was born of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower In 1620. It asserted Its Independence of monarchy In 1776 and 1789. It came to the fullness of manhood in 1861-5 when It maintained that the few should not rule the many, that slavery should cease to be under the Stars and Stripes, that the Indissol uble union of Indestructible states should endure and that government by the people for the people should not perish from the earth. Thus American freedom was re born In the bloodshed and smoke and thunders of civil war. With a great price the people bought and rebought their freedom. It cost a travail of ages. It cost the pourin'g out of hu man life and stored treasure as if they were so much water. It cost bap tism with toil of hand and head and keart, with agonies and heroisms and martyrdoms, with scars and losses to the body and soul of the Ameri can people that will not be outworn for generations. Memorial day is the monument to the new birth of the people's free dom. It is not merely a holiday for merrymaking, but a holy day for con secrated memories, for reverent hom age to the survivors of the veterans who died that the nation might live all men be free and the people re main a sovereign, a solemn day for reconsecration of ourselves to our country and to high and hallowed service as patriots and citizens The teachings of the day are many and Inspiring. It helps to enkindle afresh the sometimes silent sense of the true significance and grandeur of the world the truth that America's message and mission are to spread democracy from the rising to the set ting of the sun and to carry freedom from pole to pole. It brings our splr its into living touch with the heroic dead, the Bradfords, the Washing tons, the Lincolns, who are nursing fathers of the spirit of freedom and prophets of the ideal democracy yet to be. But not least among its memorial lessons is the thought that freedom must always be experiencing new births. Freedom must die to ancient good that time has made a hurt. It must be born again to the new good that the native force of democracy is always begetting. It must progress forever if it is not to retrograde. It must be -virile in the practical and homely duties of daily citizenship. It must grapple with political evils of the day. It must go to the primaries and the polls. It must live and work worthily in the present in order to be worthy of its enobling heritage from the past. Democracy Is no mechanism that runs of itself with perpetual motion. Freedom Is a gift that does not live Jong with weaklings. We ourselves must be Pilgrim Fathers, sail the teas with God, and forge our own keys to unlock the portals to Amer ica's golden future. ix oru Aiuxn.vxcE. Under this heading, the Portland Journal, Issue of June 1. has the fol lowing, which Is verified by the splen did prospects in Morrow county, at least. It has' been a great many years since this section had such an encouraging outlook for abundant crops. For many years there have been adverse conditions that have shortened crops and added to the discouragement of our producers but not so this year. Nature is certain ly lined up to reward patient Indus try and this Is to be a record-breaking season. The Journal says: The prospect is that Oregon is about to harvest the greatest wheat crop that the state has produced in a quarter of a century. Only the (severest and most unexpected weath er conditions cuu prevent the fields, especially In Eastern Oregon, from turning off their greatest yield in a generation. Yesterday. The Journal presented its monthly crop report, gathered by over 200 correspondents. It shows an estimated total wheat yield for the Pacific Northwest of 82,500,000 bushels. In 19 IS, The Journal's es timate was 73,000,000. The actual output was 75,500,000. In the three states-Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho-the present con dition of winter wheat U far above normal. For Oregon it is 107 per cent, and In both Idaho and Wash ington 106. The conditions of spring wheat is 100. In all the other great wealth pro ducing farm Industries, the yields, almost without exception, will be above normal. The aggregated farm output for the year will be greatly increased There Is a larger wool clip, and prices are three to five cents above last year. There are many lines in which the diversified industries of the farm are swiftly expanding, notably in the Wil lamette valley. Poultry husbandry is among these, and the growing in crease in the output is almost re markable. We were formerly Im porters of poultry even live chichens, from diBtant states. We have, bo far, bought no poultry from other states In 1914, but on the contrary are producing all we consume. How the Industry has grown is shown by the difference in the out put In 1912 and 1913. The total number of poultry in 1912 was 20,- 000,000 and 27,000,000 In 1913, an increase or 7,000,000. The value in 1912 was 17,000,0(0 and $23,000. 000 In 1913, an increase of 16,000, 000. In 1912, the value of eggs was $15,000,000 and $18,750,000 in 1913 an increase of more than 12 per cent. It Is estimated that the increases in the industry for 1914 will be even more remarkable. Eggs are higher in price than in the same period last year. The farm population of the North west is in the midst of an abounding prosperiey. The whole face of nature is eloquent with blossom, fruitage and reward. Nothing stands in the way of a bountiful harvest and a sea son of splendid abundance. U. S. WARNS AGAINST ALLEGED HOG CHOLERA CURES. Government Has Not Approved Any Treatment Except the Protec tive Serum. Washington, D. C, June 1 Evi dence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude far mers throughout the country Into buying an alleged cure for hog chol era, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States Government, has reached the Department of Agricul ture. Articles praising this medi cine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it ppears as it the Department of Agriculture bad received reports from the state of Minnesota showing that the medi cine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact the one report re ceived by the department was an un official and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The department attach es no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has no reason to be lieve In the efficiency of any proprie tary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions It urges farmers to pro tect their stock with anti-hog-chol era serum but that is all. , In connection with this attempt it may be said that the medicine, which is now put forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculosis, ty phoid and cancer germs, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the Army was interested in it. As a matter of fact the Army was no more interested then than the Department of Agriculture is now. In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impress ion is persistent and widespread, all hog owners are warned to commun icate with the United States author ities before accepting as true any statement that the Government rec ommends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned. We are glad to add to our exchange liat the Klamath Falls Northwestern, published by Sam Evans, who, by the way, is the democratic nominee for Congress from this district. We had the pleasure of making the acquain tance of Mr. Evans and found him to be a mighty fine fellow who apparent ly bears all the marks of an embryo statesman and seems fully qualified for the high position he hopes to oc cupy at Washington, D. C. Of one thing we are quite sure: he la a news paper man of no mean ability and is publishing one of the best dally pa pers in the state of Oregon. And now Mr. Lafferty is to run as an independent candidate for Con gress in the 3rd district, not being content to abide by the wishes of the people expressed at the primary el ection. His excuse Is that the news papers of Portland did not give him a fair deal he was grossly misrep resented and the people were there fore misled and voted for the other fellow. The quintessence of all that is virtuous and honorable is tied up within the breast of Mr. Lafferty, according to his own estimate, and it will be necessary for the people to "slug" him again in November so that he will awake to the realization that he is not putting the proper es timate upon himself and fails to meet the requirements of the leading Con gressional district of the state. The robin is a friendly bird, but he is stupid. His companionship is not half so stimulating as that of the blackbird, agreeable as It Is when one needs serenity and calm. Black birds are far more beautifully colored than the robin, their voices are at least as pleasant and they are a great deal more intelligent. A flock of them domesticated around a tree decked lawn becomes a source of end less pleasure. Oregonian. There is nothing to thunder. The real show is out and over before the thunder gets a start. Lightening is like the man behind and thunder like the windjammer who wants to beat the base drum and get all the credit Nahum Is credited with predicting the coming of the automobile, but the enthusiasts for good roads claim that Isaiah forecasted their ideal thus: "Every valley shall be exhalted and every hill made low. The crooked shall be made straight and the rough places even." Vacation Time, Now that school closes this week, what will the boys and girls do this summer? Some of them, no doubt, will find plenty of work to do; some will have time for play; others we hope that there will be none who will idle away their summer's vacation, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The, boy or girl should have recreation, the same as the per son who works in the shop or office or behind the counter. The parent should not overlook this. On the other hand the boy or girl should not overlook the opportunity that Is theirs to do something that will count, and will give them a training that will be valuable In after life as their school work itself. Miss Lilali Clark, who has been the efficient assistant teacher in the High School here for the past three years, will leave on Saturday for her home at Lents.
