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." Cattlemen should not overlook
having their stock tested, prepara
tory for exhibiting. ,
