MORROW COVXTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday. November 5, 1914.
ELECTION SURPRISES.
The election just passed carries
with it some surprises. Four more
states have been added to the "dry"
column. These are Oregon, Wash
ington, Colorado and Arizona. This
is according to reports received up to
the time of going to press. The ma
jority for prohibition in this state
will reach 30,000, and may go even
beyond this figure if the present ratio
of gain is kept up. Toward the close
of the campaign it was conceded that
the amendment would pass but no
one hardly had the nerve to make a
claim that the majority would reach
anything like this . figure. This is
one surprise, and indeed a pleasant
one to the friends of prohibition. Our
own county of Morrow did its part to
help out this great vote and boosted
the amendment by a majority of 512.
All other measures, with one excep
tion, are badly beaten. The eight
hour law amendments are buried out
of sight, and it is to be hoped they
will never be resurrected again.
Another cf the great surprises of
the election is the tremendous plu
rality of Senator Chamberlain over
Mr. Booth. It will reach about 20,
000 according to present indications.
This is certainly a great disappoint
ment to the republicans as they felt
that in Mr. Booth they had put for
ward one of the best men that had
ever aspired to this high office., It
is not hard, perhaps, to accunt for
the defeat of Mr. Booth. , Mr. Cham
berlain is a popular man and he had
lined up behind him all the forces of
the administration; this was not easy
to overcome; he has also made a
reasonably good record as a senator
and has been diligent in the construc
tion of strong political alliances, and
these forces got in their work in good
shape. On the other hand, there was
the malignant vilification and persist
ant misrepresentation and abuse of
Mr. Booth by leading newspapers of
the state that had the effect of les
sening his strength and caused many
to desert him that should have given
him support. The Hanley vote also
drew largely from Booth and lent
strength to the Chamberlain forces
While congratulations are due to the
democratic party for the success they
have achieved in re-electing Mr
Chamberlain, some of the methods
used in bringing this about cannot
be spoken of in very complimentary
terms.
Dr. Withycombe has won by the
largest vote ever given a candidate
for the office of governor. This is
cause for some rejoicing in the re
publican camp and is just recogni
tion of the worth of the man. He
has been a constructive builder in the
material affairs of this state and he
will be an honor to the office. The
entire state ticket is republican, and
there was no doubt expressed at any
time there would be any other
result.
When it came down to the final
struggle, everything was laid aside
by the democrats and all other can
didates were forgotten in a very large
measure that the Segator might be
sure to win and retain his job at
Washington, and the result shows
what can be accomplished through
the power of concentration.
Throughout the nation the repub
licans have made large gains and
have retaken many of the seats lost
in the past few years to the demo
crats in the national congress.
A QUESTION OF FUTURE
PRESTIGE.
Although the "Made in America"
movement started in New York and
the minifestatlon of its chief activ
ity is there, it should appeal to the
people of this coast at strongly as it
unquestionably will to the people of
the East. It is a movement that
puts patriotism into practical con
duct; and In the circumstances, no
charge of provincialism can be laid
against it.
The suggestion is made that the
slogan would be improved if it were
changed to "Made in U. S. A."; and
we admit that we like it. It is more
forceful and expresses more nearly
what we mean, namely, that the
good? we will buy shall be made by
Uncle Sara. Everything from this
northern continent of the West is
American; but the U. S. A. is dis
tinctive.
Whatever the form of expression
mav be the idea holds good and if it
takes hold upon us in grippig fus
ion it will mean the future prestige
of this country in industry and com
merce. It will mean that we are first
looking after the best markets in the
world; that we are establishing tue
best policy of protection to Ameri
can industries ever devised.
The women of the country can
make this movement a success if they
shall choose to do so. In fact their
aid is more potent to that end than
any other one factor. If they shall
decide that the American material is
good enough for them, and that un
der existing conditions they will buy
none which does not bear the stamp
of American manufacture, if they do
this in such a way that it becomes
the feminine habit, the American
manufacturer will never need to
worry about a market. He will And
work to do and employment for la
bor; and as there will be larger de
mand for "Made in America" goods,
there will be more money in circu
lation with which to buy them.
This movement stands on patriot
ism and good sense and the promise
cf it is future prestige. Portland

CO-OPERATIVE FARMING.
In this age of co-operation, in
which manufacturing and commercial
interests have attained wonderful de
velopment and success by merging
their resources, it is not to be won
dered at that co-operation has slow
ly but inevitably wended its way intc
rural life. The old method of in
dividualism is gradually giving way
to the co-operative spirit and the re
suit is a greatly reduced cost of liv
ing and lessened expense of farming
Oregon farmers are leading thr
co-operative movement and it is grad
ually being extended into every fea
ture of community life.
According to recent estimates ol
tho Department of Agriculture a'
Washington, Oregon farmers pro
duced 1,716,000 tons of tame or cul
tivated hay during 1914. The yield
last year was 1,732,000 tons. The
product is selling for an average of
$9.00 per ton, compared with $8.40
per ton in 1913. The yield per acre
this season is 2 tons and the quality
is two per cent better than the aver
age crop of the past ten years.
AMERICAN HORSES IN BATTLE.
The American horse is one of the
first to answer, the bugle call o the
European war. Representative's oi
many, foreign governments are in this
country purchasing horses for the
various armies of the warring na
tions and practically every state in
the Union is contributing cavalrj;
material to the telligerent factions.
The American horse is a utility an
imal and excels Jhat of any other
country on the face of the earth. He
has plowed our fields, fought ou;
battles and is the most . faithful of
animal kind. His reputation has ex
tended to other countries and lie If
now going to perform the service?
for foreign countries which he has-
so faithfully fufilled at home.

Pluntign Trees!
The early settlers in Nebraska and
Kansas found those states treeless
and almost rainless. The scant show
ers which gave crops ,one season
were denied the next year and the
seed perished in tho ground. Clouds
of grashoppers devoured what the
bad seasons had spared. It seemed
as if the old geographers were right
when they included both Kansas and
Nebraska in "the great American
desert,"
But they were wrong. Persistent
cultivation has so changed the con
ditions In both states that crops are
now as certain as anywhere else. The
grasshoppers are no longer a burden
and it is said by many that the rain
fall has actually increased. It is
more likely, however, that cultivation
has caused the earth to retain mois
ture so much better that a dry sea
son is not as harmful as of old.
Tree-planting has proceeded rapid
ly threugh all the trans-Missouri re
gion. The farmers began by planting
windbreaks, timidly hdping that they
would" survive. They did survive and
grew so thriftily that today great
plantings of timber may be found
where forty years ago not a tree
could be seen.
Planting forest trees is a duty
which ought to be attended to every
where. Oregon has plenty of ever
green timber, but only a little hard
wood. Nut trees are particularly
scarce. The practice of planting wal
nuts, pecans, filberts and hickories in
corners, along fencea and evert in sol
id patches will greatly increase the
returns from farms in the course of
time and make the state a more
agreeable dwelling place for coming
generations.
RESUME GF OPERATIONS
TORN EUROPE SINGE NATIONS
FIRST BEGAN THEIR STRUGGLE
October in the War.
There are now ten nations at war
the tenth being Turkey, which en
tered the conflict informally by bom
barding Thcodosia in the Crimea and
Odessa, October 30.
The greatest German success on
land was the capture of Antwerp, the
last haven of the Belgian army, Octo
ber 9, after a 10-day siege. The
forts wore battered to bits by the
enormous guns of the Austrians.
Severe repulses have met tho Gor
man armies both in tho East and
West. Constant attempts at flank
movements by the armies along the
Aisno strotched the battle lines to the
coa3t of the North Sea, with the Ger
man right resting on Ostend. The
big guns cf the English fleet were
brought in to holp out the attacks
on this port. October 1 the severest
fighting on the German right was at
Albert. The advance of the allies
reached Arras the next day.
The last day of the month the al
lies reported that the way to Bruges
in Belgium was laid open by their
capture of Roulers and that the Ger
mans were hastily digging trenches
back to Ghent to prepare for falling
back. The battle line irom tho sea to
the Swiss border is 350 miles long.

Jemtchug and a French destroyer.
Tim battle of the Aisne becan Sep
tember 15, when the German right
wing, falling back from Paris, took
up its entrenched position along the
river. It is the greatest battle the
world has ever seen. The men en
gaged are several millions. It has
raged for 46 days. While the allies
report that tho falling back of the
German right wing means that their
superior numbers have at last won,
the magnificent army of the Kaiser
has saved itself from possible disas
ter. The Japs continue their work of
trying to dig out the Germans at
Tsing Tau, the Gorman base in China.
They are helped by a big Jap fleet.
On land the Japanese army has been
reinforced bv English troops. The
German garrison has successfully
declined to be dug out, though it is
outnumbered many times over.
Here are the decisive dates since
the war began:

war, making it a struggle of 10 na
tions. There is every likelihood now
that Bulgaria, Greece, Roumania,
and Portugal will enter the conflict
on the side of the allies. The Turks
neglect to make a declaration of war.
Instead their warships sweep the
Black Sea, sinking two Russian mer
chant ships. A fleet bombards Theo

port of Odessa. There they sink a
small Russian gunboat and damage
a French liner.
October 31 British cruiser Her
mes is caught away from the flock,
off Dunkirk and sent to the bottom
by a busy German submarine. The
Hermes was an old-timer and her loss
is not much of a blow. But the fact
of her sinking makes England ner
vous just the same. It means that
the Germans have succeeded in ship
ping submarines across country piece
by piece and assembling them again
on the North Sea. While the main
English fleet bottles up the Germans
off Heligoland, these dangerous little
invisibles can continue successes
against the British. Turkey an
nounces the annexation of Egypt
and starts an invasion. The allies
declare that Germans are defeated,
and order a general advance.
