MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, September 10, 1914. Ol'R SCH(XL. In another column Prof. H. H. Hoffman, superintendent of the Heppner Schools, calls attention to the postponement of the opening date and gives reasons therefor. In con nection therewith he also makes oth er statements to which we call es pecial attention, and which we hear tily endorse. Heppner is gradually building up a most excellent public school and high school, and the efforts of the school board and their corps of teachers, toward this end should re ceive the unanimous support of our citizens and the patrons. With the splendid building provided and the continual adding of up-to-date equip ment, the board is keeping abreast of the times, and we are fast learning that in this we are making an invest ment, the value of which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, and our splendid school is proving right now to be the greatest force for building up the community that we have. It can be made better, and this is to be brought about by the hearty and earnest co-operation of our citi zens with the school authorities and the teachers. If you have a grievance, real or fancied, against any teacher or school officer, forget it. Line up with the superintendent and his assistants and let them know that you have the best interests of our school at heart and that you are going to do your best to make a grand success of the school. You can't afford to do less. "FOOLISH TRADING" As producers and builders, the American people excel all previous civilization and we are a present day marvel in business efficiency, but in dealing with foreign countries we are a sorry lot of traders. Ever since Wm. Penn traded the Indians a handful of trinkets for what is now the State of Pennsylvania, the American people have been selling their birthright to foreigners for a mess of potage, so to speak. We export over $50,000,000 of cattle and their products per annum, which feeds the nations of Europe, aird our American heiresses spend a similar sum in buying and maintain ing counts, dukes and titled peer ages. These foreign noblemen are, as a rule, absolutely worthless in fact become a perpetual liability for it costs more money to operate and keep them in repair than it does to run our cotton mills. European royalty puts the black sheep of its families on the block and our rich American girls buy them and we vir tually exchange railroads, wheat fields and millions of dollars' worth of products of farm, mine and fac tory for titled paupers, who could not be resold for any sum. It does not require foreign treaties, a fleet of war vessels or tariff revision to stop this enormous loss. It needs only common sense in the homes of the rich. We export $18,000,000 of lumber and timber, and American tourists spend a similar amount in motoring over Europe and sightseeing in for eign lands although the most en chanting scenes of the world are on the American continent. Register today. The Fair is just one week away. We will reciprocate by attending the Round-up. Heppner will be the convention city next week. Bring in your exhibits, and don't overlook the babies. The biggest county fair in Oregon the Second Annual Morrow County Fair. Nice refreshing rains to clear up the atmosphere for the coming fes tivities of next week. Indications are for an early win ter. A severe snow storm is reported in the vicinity of Arbuckle the first of the week. No, gentle reader, we are not har vesting hops; those are the waste paper baskets which Secretary Sroead will place on the Fair grounds, A good Idea, WAR ABROAD; CONSPIRACY AND EXTORTION AT HOME. New York World: One of the most notable dispatches yet receiv ed from the seat of war in Europe was that appearing in the World of yesterday which embraced these sen tences: "Living in Brussels is not expen sive even now. A little meat and plenty of vegetables take one a long way. Even the very poor can afford such a dinner in Brus sels." Brussels is the capital of Belgium, a kingdom embracing territory less in extent than that of the state of Maryland. Its population is almost as great as that of the states of Ill inois and Indiana combined. It has more inhabitants to the square mile than any other nation in the world. Although most of the able-bodied men of this kingdom are under arms; although on one side it is overrun by a great hostile army, and although on the other it is occupied by a friendly allied force as large or larger, there is yet no pinch of fam ine. The markets are open. Spec ulation has not seized upon the oc casion for profit. The very poor as well as the very rich supply their wants at prices which the World cor respondent describes as "extraordin arily cheap." What is the situation In New York, 3000 miles from the theater of war? Here everything that sustains life has mounted in price. Loaves of bread are shrinking in size. Weights and measures are being clipped. A cent here, a nickel there, a dime more for this and a dollar more for that, accentuate the most shameless robbery ever perpetrated upon a free people at peace with all the world. The scarcity now reflected in this city in the outrageous prices at which food is held is not the legiti mate result of war. It is the result of greed. It is not due to shortage. It Is due to speculation. It is not a consequence of any convulsion of nature. It is a consequence of a cor ner. It has no relation to existing supplies, which are abundant and with no immediate outlet. It relates to a ruthless gamble in futures and is based altogether upon the hope that in time devastation in Europe will enable food gamblers here, with governmental assistance, to ex act famine prices for their hoarded supplies. There is only one complete reme dy. If the pirates who are seizing the food supply of America do not instantly relax their hold, congress should temporarily prohibit exports of grain and provisions. It is a crime to open new markets for men who, coldly calculating upon the forthcoming panic in those markets, are now, in a year of plenty, draw ing blood from their own country men. The United State3 is a sovereign power. It is menaced today only by conspiracy and extortion at home. To kill that evil force and kill it outright will be a greater victory than any European army is this struggle can gain, no matter at what bloody sacrifice. GERMANS PREPARED FOR WAR. Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung, the leading German paper of the United States, says: "Not only the army but all Ger many is so completely organized for this very situation that ordinary business is carried on from day to day with only slight interruptions. Naturally the factories are silent and the wheels of commerce revolve slowly. But there is no complete disorganization. No moratorium has been proclaimed such as other na tions have resorted to. There is no inflation of prices, for the govern ment posts each day the price of all foodstuffs and confiscates any commodities offered at higher prices. The German mind is quiet and de termined and absolutely logical. "American tourists who have re turned from abroad deny absolutely the unfounded stories published in the American press that Americans were treated brutally. Lies all lies. It Is very easy to exaggerate, and I understand journalism well enough to know that the publisher should not be held accountable for every item printed in his publication. I say that more in a spirit of for giveness than in explanation. "Germany is very calm. Its crops are being harvested by the old men, the women and children. Its people are of heroic mold and patient un der the most adverse conditions. Take it for a fact that neither at home nor at the front does Germany suffer the least disorganization. "The opinion of the Staats Zeit ung general staff Is divided as to the policy of Germany after the occupa tion of Belgium, has become an ac complished fact. Some hold that the advance on Paris will proceed with all possible dispatch, while others, and I include myself among the number, believe that Germany will content herself with holding the line on both borders of France. To take Paris, in my estimation, is to at tempt the Impossible. It is too well fortified. It can not be surrounded except by 1,000,000 men, and Ger many can not afford such an army to undertake siege operations that would last a year or longer. "The lines of Chatalja were no stronger than the defense of Paris. On the other hand, Germany could indefinitely hold the frontier against the assaults of the French armies. "Deadlock is the only answer to the clash tf th nation, They will find themselves each secure behind their own lines. "The Russian advance will not stand the withering fire of the Krupp guns. The Russian troops are not fired with the patriotic devotion that stirs France and Germany. Russia has not placed her national life at stake and will not light with the same courage and tenacity that has been shown by Belgium and Ger many."
