MORROW I'Ol TV OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, February 18, 1915. I'AXCF.li A IIISKASK KOKMS. OK MANY TO All) PKACK OFFICERS. A meeting of representative citi zens of Heppner on Friday evening last took up the discusstan of the sub ject of law enforcement and the for mation of a civic league, or some similar organization, having in view the creating and maintaining of healthy public sentiment for law en forcement in the City of Heppner and throughout Morrow County. This meeting was addressed by our County Attorney and Sheriff, and our City Attorney and Mayor, each of whom made it plain that he was in favor of law enforcement, but each in turn showing how difficult it is for public servants in these offices to perform their duties and enforce the laws and bring offenders to justice, in face of a public sentiment that is not willin lo back them up. While there is sentiment of this kind it is almost impossible to get evidence in certain cases and bring about convictions, This has proven a handicap to officers fully disposed to do their duty and obey their oaths of office. This pub lic sentiment should be changed; offi cials disposed to do their duty should be made to feel that there is behind them a strong force of law abiding citizens, ready at all times to back them up and furnish any evidence within their knowledge that wil! bring offenders into court, and after getting them there assist in convic lions. This kind of public sentiment will soon bring about proper condi tions. At the meeting mentioned above, strong endorsement was given the stand taken by our officials, and promise given to support them In their work in every legitimate way The tact was not overlooked that officers, on the other hand, should not hide behind the excuse of having no public sentiment favoring their enforcement of laws and performing their plain duty. It sometimes hap pens that this is the case, and then it is that a public official is not a public servant. We believe that we have none of this kind in our county, and the men entrusted with preserving the peace and dignity and upholding the laws of the state and municipal ity will do all that they can in this respect. Let the righteous citizen ship of the town and county support them in their efforts by a strong or ganization standing for law enforcement. CITY SHI H I D DO IT. Our City Council is at present dis cussing the making of an ordinance governing the construction of build ings and sidewalks within the city limits. These are matters properly coming under the direction of the city and should be controlled in a manner looking to uniformity in the building and parking of sidewalks and safety in construction of business houses and dwellings. There being no adequate laws in the city covering these matters, this move is in the right direction. There is much im provement contemplated over the city; it is the air, and the people are planning new walks, which will doubtless be largely of concrete; new residences and business houses ore in contemplation and will no doubt be constructed, and these should be put up under permits from the city that certain regulations might be carried nut. At present, anyone so disposed can put up most any sort of a build ing in any part of the city, regardless of whether it is suitable to the sur roundings or possesses any elements of permanency or safety. As a result fire risks are increased and insurance rates advanced. Heppner is big enough to protect herself against these things and the city fathers wil! be congratulated upon taking action along these lines. People commonly think of cancer as a single definite disease, as dis tinct ami uniform in its nature nv.l mptoms as appendicitis or typhoid fever. This is a msooncepton. it is nearer the truth to regard "cancer" as the name of a group of quite dif ferent diseases which have one fea ture m common. It nas ueen sain that the layman's conception of can cer is of something very indefinite verv nortentious. Quite hopeless disease which always affects someone else than himself, and about which he carries no immediate interest or responsibility. If this is a fair state ment, the layman is wrong on prac .ieally every count, and his error and c.-n fusion is urobably due, in no small part, to the failure to take .omit of the many forms of cancer. if this wore done, perhaps the pa :ient would not so frequently yield o despair and throw away the ex cellent chance of cure that exists when the disease is first discovered As a matter of fact "cancer, in '.he light of modern knowledge of human ailments, is almost as general md vaeue a term as "fever." The word covers a number of entirely dis- :inct diseases, differing widely in their origin, symptoms, treatment and curability. The various kinds of tumors have little in common except that they are all forms of new and awiess growths of body cells. This false notion of cancer as a single (Urease has probably hindered progress toward the understanding and control of the various diseases .vhich are conveniently grouped un to that term. All forms of Cancer are aspects of new and lawless cell crrowth, and it is the inner nature or 'cause" of such growth that we do ,iot yet understasd. The essential point for the man in .he street is that each different kind if cancer is a. separate disease. If :ie is so unlucky as to be attacked by any one of them, it would be well before becoming discouraged to go and find out which form he has. If he is taken with a "fever" and it happens to be German measles, his if it chances to be virulent small-pox So. also, a "rodent ulcer" on the face is quite different from cancer of the -.tnmach. And lastly while one is a more serious disease than the oth er, there is always hope if it is rec ognized and treated at once. Why not give the surgeon the same chance with cancer as he has with appendici tis? Suppose all symptoms of that disease were neglected and hidden until the annendix had buret? Doubt less the surgeon would still save a certain percentage of cases, but would the record be anything like it s now? It Is the intelligent coopera tion of the patient and the family physician that has conquered appen dicitis, and the same weapons are even more needed in the fight against cancer.

He would compel the would-be purchaser of in toxicants to advertise his intention in the newspapers of his city, to gether with the amount ot liquid trouble he contemplates laying in. By displaying a copy of the adver tisement and identifying himself as the person who caused it to he print ed he would be entitled to receive shipments without further red tape. We suspect that this country ed itor's motives are not wholly un mixed. Advertising is his business, and he would naturally not be ad verse to collecting a tax from the blbulously inclined of his commun ity. Nor can we blame him, for bus iness is business even thoiign some of our radical lawmakers are in clined to regard it as a crime. .Nevertheless, the author of this plan displays considerable shrewd knowledge of human nature. If prospective indulgers in the cup that cheers were required to publish their intentions to the world at large their thirst would doubtlessly be greatly reduced. Frequent and public an nouncements of intention to restock the cellar can hardly be regarded as credentials for admission to the best society in these days. .Moreover, if such a law were strictly enforced, the wicked and low-browed bootleg ger would be compelled to advertise his business abroad and bootlegging is one business in which advertising does not pay. Eugene Register. HACK TO THK SHF.UIFFS. The collecting of taxes will now go hack into the hands of the Sheriffs. This change in the order of things is brought about by the passage by the Senate on Monday evening of House Hill No. 14, which makes the Sheriffs tax collectors. An emergency clause attached makes the bill effective im mediately upon its being signed by the Governor. For the past two years the Treasurers of the counties have been the tax collectors, and as a consequence a large amount of work was added to their duties, necessitating the hiring of deputies and adding costs which the taxpay- At this session Of n v GOSSARD CORSETS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1915 UKOUiH A SPECIAL arrangement with (lie H. AY. Gossaiil Company of Chicago we have engaged Mrs. Ada B. Cox of their organization to conduct a special demonstration of Gossard Corsets. The radical change in styles this season from the slinker slouch to the erect, well-poised, somewhat military form, calls for considerable care and attention in the fitting of your new corset. There is a decided tendency toward the adoption of a smaller waist this season and a fitted bodice, with a return to the full skirt of former periods. All of this has a decided bear ing on your corset. Authentic information regarding these new styles for the asking during this demonstration. You can come and be fitted to any of the newer models and make your selections at a la ter date, if you so desire. Whether you expect to purchase your corsets at this time or not, we suggest that you arrange to attend this demonstration. While the original front-lacing Gossard Corset sold at $25 some ten years ago, increased manufacturing facilities and an international distribution have reduced the price until now vou can purchase a Gossard Corset for as little as $5.00, $3.50 and $2.00. NOT ONLY CAN YOU GET CORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE NEW SPRING STYLES IN CORSETS, BUT YOU CAN ALSO OBTAIN AUTHENTIC IN FORMATION REGARDING SUITS, DRESSES, MILLINERY, AND LINGERIE DURING THIS DEMONSTRATION.

New York Times: Accused of "lit erary theft" Billy Sunday responds that he didn't mean to steal from Agnostic "Bob" Ingersoll, whose flowery oration on war veterans pass ed for his own before old soldiers. That Rpeech was donated to Hilly by a fervent admirer he has hundreds of 'em sending in "fine sermon ma terial" all the time and, like Mon taigne, he takes his own wherever he finds it. Steal words and style? Never. If sinners find a resemblance between the things he says and the language of Ingersoll, Talmage and Sam Jones, It must he because those discourse on the soul happened to think and speak just as he thinks and speaks now. Hilly Sunday developed his own style. Doesn't his gospel gun shoot streighter than Ingersoll's agnostic rhetoric? Why, it's loaded with rough on rats, ipecac, rock salt, dyna mite and barbed wire.' No doubt he could get off a line of talk thanks to the donated sermon material that would make a Greek professor's jaw squeak, but he has doped out that people don't went that, line of onversation. It isn't hot enough shot for the enemies of the church. Call 'hem bull-necked, beetle-browed hog-jowled, peanut-brained, weasel eyed lour-flushers. false alarms and excess baggage, and the devil banks his first, beats it out of hell, and is picked up later by au ambulance. Why go jimmying for other people's language after that. By fall you will have forgotten that the winter of 1914-15 was one of the driest ever experienced in Mor row County.
