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.

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

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

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.

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.
