MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, August 6, 1914 PROHIBITION' IS BECOMING NATIONAL ISSUE. EVADING THE REAL QUESTION. Eugene Register: An esteemed contemporary, the Eugene Register, asserts that the is sues of the senatorial campaign are those of principle not men. In oth er words, the Democrat and other supporters of Senator Chamberlain are invited not to make too searching an inquiry into the record of the re publican nominee. Albany -Democrat. The Albany Democrat and all the other supporters of Senator Cham berlain are perfectly welcome to make all the inquiry they wish into the record of R. A. Booth, the Repub lican nominee for United States sen ator. It is a clean record, and the more it is investigated the more brightly it will shine. Mr. Booth has been one of the builders of Oregon not one of the political drones and his home city and state have bene fitted greatly by his industry and his enterprise. Republican papers, we presume, are also free to delve into Senator Chamberlain's private life if they choose, but The Register will not be one to do it. It has no taste for that kind of campaign, and the personal ities of the two candidates are not f.t issue. They are both capable men. In descending to abuse of the Re publican nominee because he has made a success ot Ms business, the ' Albany paper and a few other Dem ocratic newspapers and politicians are making a desperate attempt to divert attention from the real issues of the senatorial campaign in Ore gon this fall. They do not want to discuss the real issues, and they do not propose to if they can help it. Hence the mud throwing. It Is a nasty and disgusting method of cam paigning. The real issues are these: Are the producers of Oregon to be protected from ruinous competition from abroad and left to their fate? Are New Zealand butter, Chinese eggs, Argentine beef and corn, and Canad ian lumber to be permitted to flood the Oregon markets to the detriment of the home producer, or are they not? Are times to be made better for the Oregon farmer and the Ore gon laborer, or are they not? Mr. Booth, as a Republican, be lieves in preserving the home mar ket for the home producer. He be lieves In legitimate protection that will enable the American laboring man to be paid higher wages than the laborers of other countries. He be lieves that we should consider the welfare of our own people first. Mr. Chamberlain, as a Democrat, believes in throwing the markets of Oregon and the rest of the United States open to the New Zealander, the Chinaman and the Canadian so that they may undersell our own pro ducers and build up a profitable trade here. He regards the Oregon farmer and the Oregon laborer as on a par with the peasant farmers and laborers of other countries. It is discussion of these things that the Democratic press and Dem ocratic politicians are anxious to avoid. Spokesman-Review. 'Unless checked the prohibi tionists will accomplish their purposes. There are grave prob babilities that a constitutional amendment will go to the states within a year. Once sent to the states, no power can prevent eventual ratification." It is neither the anti-saloon league nor the W. C. T. U. that makes this assertion. It is the counsel of the National Association of Wholesale Liquor Dealers. It acquires addition al interest, if not significance, from the fact that it is an emphatic itera tion of similar utterances recently in nearly every issue of the liquor jour nals. Senator Sheppard of Texas and Representative Hobson of Alabama have presented a joint resolution to congress that calls upon it to sub mit an amendment of the federal con stitution to the states that shall pro hibit "the sale, manufacture for sale, transportation for sale and importa tion for sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes in the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof and exporta tion for sale therefrom." The prohibitionists, after more than a generation of wandering through political wildernesses, have arrived upon their promised land. The feebleness of their political proselytizing has hidden the progress of temperance sentiment and reform. The nation has advanced along sev eral roads toward countrywide an! federal prohibition. Religious and moral forces long ago took the field against drinking and against the saloon. The church es ceased to be divided as to this question, and ranged themselves unitedly against the liquor business. The medical man and scientific re search increasingly argued against the use of alcohol. Business and in dustry came to the conclusion that the drink habit was against their in terests, against the welfare of the public that they served, against the prosperity of the pocketbook. It looks as if prohibition were ceasing to be a local or a state issue and beginning to become a national issue. It is not unlikely to be part of the political program of one or more of the leading parties in 1916. will not be done In this life, but all the lessons that we gather make the foundation for the hope ot a higher life. And it seems to us that we have no authority for saying that in that higher life the degrees of hap piness will be measured by our lives here. Rather it seems more reason able to say that in the ceaseless up ward procession a certain station will have to be reached before men on earth or souls beyond will finally re ceive the light to understand that real happiness comes only through love and justice and devotion to duty. E Ltll fin MniHii'iiii'ft'j.M I ANOTHER CHARLATAN INMASKED. u I Eugene Register. Those who have suspected that Mr. U'Ren's sudden fervor for the cause of prohibition was dictated by poli tical expediency rather than personal conviction have had their suspicions confirmed. So long as the Sage of Oregon City could make the Prohi bition party a tall to his Independent-single tax kite, he was a bitter and uncompromising enemy of the Demon Rum. He shouted that the cause of prohibition was the greatest question that confronts Oregon, and thundered at the other candidates for governor to join him in a hand-to-hand struggle with the liquor inter ests. So long as he could be at the same time an independent candidate and the candidate of the Prohibition par ty Friend U'Ren was the white plum ed knight of the water wagon. He uttered in clarion tones his convic tion that in comparison with a dry Oregon all other questions paled into insignificance. He dedicated himself to the high and holy cause of driving the saloon and all its hangers-on across the borders of our fair state, and he branded all other candidates as traitors to the public welfare. But when it came to a question of choosing between the Prohibition party and an independent candidacy, he turned his back on his prohibition friends. It is one of the great pities that the cause of prohibition is made the football of every charlatan who, like U'Ren, Is willing to use it as long as it may be of personal advan- J tage to him but is ready to drop it as soon os it becomes an embarass-ment. IS THERE A HELL? Germany blames Russia, France and England collectively and indi vidually and these countries In turn are united in their accusations against Germany. Should they all lose their heads at the same time, the rise of the United States to the head of the commercial world, es pecla'ly on the high seas, might not be so slow. The Portland Telegram, in out lining its policy in regard to Issuing war extras, takes a commendable po sition as far as conservative journal ism is concerned, and publishes the following: "The Telegram will not issue any fake extras. Such extras are bunco games and just as criminal as other kinds of bunco. Whenever an extra is printed by The Telegram It will be justified by the news and fully worth the money asked for it. This has been The Telegram's policy in the past, and it will be its policy in the future." The Telegram is a member of the Associated Press. Goodwins Weekly. A book with the above title has been issued in New York which con tains the opinions of sixteen of the "makers of religious thought" on the question of man's hereafter. They ail support the doctrine of tlie soul's Immortality, and while ig noring the old-fashioned material hell, Insist that the souls of the good will fare much better in the here after than the souls of the bad. The men subscribing to this are all eminent clergymen. There Is nothing more strange about a future life for men than is the present life. Called from noth ing; appearing here more helpless and dependent than any other crea ture; still in from twenty to sixty years ringing the world with his words or deeds and then growing still and turning back to dust; men contemplating this, and remembering the affections formed in. that brief time; the tearing of heart strings at the separation, revolt against the thought that this is all. They look at the stars In their pro cessions and realize that only an In finite wisdom canld have framed their order and their splendor. They note the seasons in their rounds and mark that after the ex haustion of producing the harvest, the sun wanders further and further away and the tired earth grows wan and cold and wrapping the winding- sheet 'of the snow around it sinks into a sleep that looks like that phenom enon which we call death. But when the sleep is over the sun returns; the winter s shroud melts away; even un der the snow flowers are found; then comes the soft air; the buds appear the trees put on anew their robes the birds return and rebuild their houses; the spring advances into the summer and that is followed by an other harvest. Is man lost in this eternal progression? That he should be would be a vio lation of every lesson that is taught by the operations of nature. But the bread we eat is made from grain that at first was but wild grass that made pasture for animals. It had to be cultivated to give it val--ue. By his discipline Luther Burbank has converted what was but a re pellant plant Into an article of food more wonderful than wag ever seen before. He has pruned and engraft ed fruit trees until he has doubled both the quantity and quality of their fruit. In the same way he has con verted a worthless weed into a glor ious flower. But he has been able to do this by finding an original element in the fruit or flower that has been dormat from the first. We talk of good and bad men. By that we mean only that the germ of good 1b more developed in the one than in the other. Many good men produce only half the good that they should. They are waiting only that the original element of good within them may be more fully awakened. Many bad men are waiting merely for the magic touch that will cause them to shed their thorns and bring forth their fruit. With many this Chas. Bartholomew of Butter creek was in the city on Wednesday. Mrs. A. Anderson, of Gooseberry, was in Heppner yesterday to get some freight at the depot. Frank Hall went to Portland yes terday morning where he delivered a car of cattle to the Portland mar-li ket. J. S. Young completed a four week's run in heading last Saturday. Although he has not threshed yet, he expects to harvest an abundant crop. Miss Theresa Stampher and her mother, of Hood River, are at the present time in Germany or Austria. Miss Stampher was formerly a mirse in the Heppner Sanatorium. Mrs. Frankie Luper, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. King, left for Portland on Sunday. Mrs. Luper will be absent for some weeks laying in her supply of Fall millinery. Grant Copple moved with his fam ily and household effects to Lexing ton on Wednesday and will engage in business there. Freman Frye took the household goods down on his big truck. Dennis McNamee, who has been confined to a hospital in Portland for several weeks past receiving treat ment, is reported fct improving st'nJ should be able to return home in an other week. A crew of linemen of the Pacific States Telegraph & Telephone Co. are busy in Heppner this week plac ing new poles and making other re pairs and changes In the local tele phone system. James H. Wyland returned on Sat urday evening from Tacoma where he was called by the serious illness of his brother Chas. Wyland. Before Mr. Wyland reached Tacoma his brother had passed away. Depot Grounds Receiving Oil. Not to be considered less enter prising than the balance of Heppner town, the O.-W. R. & N. officials have ordered their grounds in this city to be oiled. This was put up to the of- lcials of the Company on their visit here last week and they agreed to furnish the oil providing the city would spread It. A tank of 3000 gal lons of oil was received this week and yesterday the grounds were thor oughly wet down and today the oil Is being put on. This insures the keeping down of the dust around the depot and stockyards, and this action on the part of the Company will be greatly appreciated by the citizens of Heppner and the public in general. Fire On Farm Near Wasco. Wasco, Or., Aug. 4 Fire destroy ed the residence of Frank Stone on liis ranch near here last night. Mrs. Stone, the baby and a servant were alone In the house. They were awakened by the smoke and broke a window to get out. In her excite ment Mrs. Stone forgot the infant, but heard it crying and returned through the blaze and carried the child safely out, but was badly burn ed In doing so. The residence, with its contents, was a total loss.
