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.

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. Miss Clark will
teach in a similar position in the On
tario schools next year. She is a
very excellent teacher and can be
Uglily recommended In the branches
of high school work which she un
dertakes.
Next week is Rose Festival week in
Portland. Are you going to take It
in?
Michael F. McCabe who works on
the Sand Hollow ranch of John Kil
kenny is now assisting in moving the
bands of Mr. Kilkenny to the summer
ranges in the mountains. Sheep are
going to the mountains in excellent
shape this season.
