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.

page of our Home and Kami Maga
zine section this week is a Morrow
County scene, taken at the Hinton
creek farm of T. J. Matlock. An il
lustration, true to life, of the very
high grade of stock produced by Mr.
Matlock on his home place. Other
interesting views of the farm and
ranch life of this county will be

An Oregon country editor has sug
:ested professedly in a spirit of per
illago a solution for the problem
of regulating shipments of liquor tr
individuals after the prohibition
amendment takes effect. 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-

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.
Tt will be a privilege to serve you and have you visit our store sometime 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. Plenty of moisture
from now on will bring good crops;
the war in Europe will do the rest.
