One of your own townswomen is going to cook and bake good things every day next week at our store. We want to show you how to save a lot of unnecessary kitchen drudg ery.

How to save time and money. i Ktetay SaJtlsfoctoiyRange pSiaBMpSIWlPfM MALI !JklL( IAn.c We claim a great many things for the Monarch and base our claims on the exclusive features of construction and the army of satisfied house wives the country over. The Monarch does not need a "factory demonstrator;" you can get the same results in your own kitchen with a Monarch that you see obtained here. There is no mystery in the construction ot a Monarch. We want you to see how a range should be built to be dependable toda-, next month, next year and for many years to come.

MORItOW COINTY OFFICIAL PAPF.K Thursday, October 15, 1914. WHAT IS PERFECT FREEDOM? We hear on every hanrl the words, "No man lias a right to rule over oth er men, all men should be free." Those are true words, but they awaken a question: What is freedom? The quick an swer Is: "To have no master." That, too, Is true, but then what ratio of all men on the earth are so blessed. Another answer is, "The right to vote and help make the laws." That is half a contradiction for If man was absolutely free he would need no laws. We say such and such a people are not fit to be free, they are so igno rant. Yet there are men who are densely Ignorant so far as books are concern ed who are first class citizens be cause they are endowed with an all embracing patriotism, and that gives them the wisdom to determine the right and wrong between men in the interest of their country. If a man has an overmastering vice he is not free. If a man is consumed with envy and jealousy toward a more fortun ate fellow man, he is not free. If a man has an overpowering am bition to obtain by fair or foul means a certain station, he is not only not free, but is not entitled to the samo privileges that belong to honest, humble men. If a man in a miser and spends his nights and days in devising means to increase liia wealth, he but prattt like a parrot when he talks about liberty for his soul has been In chains al his life. A licentious man who looks upon women as his legitimate prey is not only an inborn slave but a menace and it not fit to exercise the higher duties of citizenship. A man whose mind is surcharged with superstitions is so pitiable a slave that he never should be per mitted to exercise any high duty of citizenship, for such a man in his zeal will if given the opportunity be like those who gathered around the cross and mocked the dying Christ. Our country, as if in answer to the prayers of a century, sent its army and navy to break the fetters that the tryanny of the agents of Spain had riveted upon the wrists and souls of the men and women of Cuba. The work was acomplished, the chains were broken, the island was cleanaed of its outward filth and order was es tablished. The people rejoiced that they were freed from the cruel rule of Spain but how many of them were made free from the darkness In their own souls. The New England fathers left their native land that, as they said, they might be free to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. But it required six generations to enlighten the consciences of one class of them. Those did not know that their own souls were so darkened that they could not be just to their fellow men who differed with them. Many of them were destitute of all charity for an erring brother and never learned that a soul destitute of that charity is a soul enslaved. We claim that ours are a free peo ple when in truth while free to do any legitimate thing without an ac counting, as a people we are not free in the higher sense. So many envy a fortunate neigh bor; so many covet uneared honors and station; so many crave wealth so much as to obtain It dishonorably; to vote for men of or at the dictation of another Indeed, as yet we are but half free. All are ready to spring to the defense of native land, but who can defend us against our selves? Every morning from the police courts men are led away to be pun ished because the overmastering ty rants in their souls prompted them to commit crime. The work of churches and school houses should be to try to lift up souls into that light under which evil longings wither and die. There is no other way through which enslaved souls can expand and be really free. Our fathers wrested from tyranny the right to make our own laws and choose our own public servants. That it bat limited freedom; the other freedom which comes through elim inating all that is base and unclean and untrue within us is a far more difficult conquest, but its rewards are infinitely greater. Goodwin's WeoK- ly. A SCHOOL PEOri-E. Professor J. B. Horner, of the O. A. C, in an address at the Albany High school dedication the other day said: "I have carefully studied the geog raphy and history of the valleys of the Rhine and Rhone, the Seine and the Thames, as well as the densely populated districts of this country, and have come to the conclusion from the evidence before me that there are more colleges, universities, churches, organs and pianos In the Willamette Valley between Eugene and Portland than in any other district of like size in the world. In this narrow stretch of territory, 123 miles long by rail way and covering less than 3,000 sec tions of land, there are sixteen col leges and universities, and as many business colleges and academies. Every habitable foot of land is ac cessible to a good public school. Seventy-five of these public schools teach high school studies, and many of them already afford high school buildings. "In this little tract of territory is one-thirtieth of all our colleges and universities in this country;and these institutions of learning train about one-eightieth of the college and uni versity men in the government. These figures are all the more re markable for the reason that there are no colleges In Southern Oregon, and but one small one in Eastern Oregon." A sense of fair play dictates that the other sections of Oregon should share in the educational uplift due to the maintenance of schools. We believe the people of the Willamette Valley will evidence this broad-minded and fair spirit by voting to reopen the normal schools in Southern and Eastern Oregon. Such stuff is not worth the pnper it is printed on, and should have no weight whatever with thinking peo ple. Regardless of the fact that many intemperate statements are presented on both sides of this prohi bition question when a campaign is on, the people are becoming weary of the saloon and its domination of pub lic and private affairs, and as an in stitution it will have to go. It is not needed in Oregon. On November 3, vote for your home and your bays; pulverize the saloon. George H. Bishop, of Freewater, Umatilla County, is the democratic nominee for Joint Representative in the 22nd district, comprising Uma tilla and Morrow counties. Mr. Bish op la a rising youngattorney of the east end of Umatilla, and is associat ed in the practice of law with Will N. Peterson, of Pendleton. Ilia platform Is lower taxes, fewer laws, economy in transacting public busi ness, especially in weeding out use les3 commissions which are swallow ing the taxpayers' money. Mr. Bish op impresses us as being a wide awake young man that would make a useful member of the legislature should he be elected. Col. Roosevelt's flatfooted endorse ment of prohibition in Ohio, has tak en a lot of wind out of the Oregon "wetB" who were liberally quoting him throughout this state as opposed to prohibition. A great deal of the so-called oposition of prominent men, such as governors, congressmen, ex presidents, and eminent ministers of the gospel, quoted by the "wets" and sent out in their campaign liter ature, Is Indeed far-fetched, A large percentage of these people are not supporters of the saloon, have never been, and this is the kernel In the nut that is to be cracked in Oregon. Prohibition means the destruction of the saloon in this state, and in order to save the business here, the very livery ot heaven is being robbed. D. H. (Bob) Robinson, the anti prohibition speaker, who has been making the rounds of all Eastern Oregon cities the past few weeks, was in Heppner and delivered a talk to a fair sized audience at the Club bulding on Tuesday evening. Mr. Robinson, after the introduction by E. C. Maddock, chairman of the eve ning, proceeded to tell his listeners, not what a grand institution the open saloon is, but what a menace to civ ilization is the blind pigs and blind tigers. These were his main subjects of discussion throughout the evening. Later on he quoted statistics from Government records which he con strued to mean that Oregon would be better remaining as she is, in the wet column, than adopting such mea sures as has Kansas, and be in her condition. He put up the same line of argument that the Wage Earners' and Taxpayers' League, (In whose employ he is working at the present time) is using in all the advertising matter sent out by that organiza tion, not at all convincing to those who have maHe a thorough study of the prohibition amendment. While the turpinite story has been exploded, it seems as though the stuff itself, never was. Spokesman-Review. How much will Heppner contrib ute to the Christmas Gift Ship that will bo sent to Europe? A local doctor has discovered why a woman's mind is always so fresh. Because she is continually changing it.
