ENGLAND AND THE WATER
WAGON.
Should the British government
prohibit the sale of strong drink an
important source of revenue will go
dry. Last year the liquor tax pro
duced $198,000,000 and it is estimat
ed that it would yield a little more
this year. To forego that amount of
monev at a time when every penny
counts requires some heroism, but
there would be compensations. The
United Kingdom spends $800,000,000
and a little more for drink each year
Of course this enormous sum of mon
ey is worse than wasted, since liquor
not. onlv benefits nobody, but to
many it is positively harmful. Th
prohibition of the traffic would sav
this expenditure for more beneficial
purposes, as similar action has done
in Russia. The English are the most
bibulous people in the world. Th
averaee family spends more than $90
annuallv for tipples of one sort an
another. The Irish are considerably
less wasteful in this particular.
The contemplated prohibition of
the liquor traffic is purely for military
reasons. It is found that so mucti
drunkenness exists in the shipyard
that it is difficult to build new vessel
at the necessary rate to carry on the
naval war. Since Englishmen love
the navy somewhat more than thei
grog, it seems quite likely that Lloyd-
George will gain his point and put the
demon Rum to flight. The monster
may return to Albion's shores when
the war is over, and he may not
The British may find themselves so
much healthier and happier on the
water wagon that they will prefer to
stay there. Sunday Oregonian.
We should like to see the people of
Heppner eujoy a grand May Day pic
nic. Why can't we have it? Let the
public schools and the Sunday schools
of the city get together on this pro
position and arrange for a jolly good
time. The Fair grounds can be used
for this purpose and are ideal. Noth
ing of this nature has been attempt
ed in Heppner for years and we owe it
to the kiddies to give them a time all
their own onee in a while, besides the
older ones will greatly enjoy an affair
of this kind. Let someone nominate
a candidate or two for May queen and

the science, the valor and the skill of
the pale races, and will take those
lessons home with them. So will the
Gurkhas, and Rajahs soldiers of
India. While the world is treating

did the first Saladin before whom the

What if this war is, alter an, oniy
nrpliminarv affair, a curtain raiser
for the world war that is to follow
hen in final test the pale races are
to meet the dark and yellow races ?
We hope our government is con
sidering these possibilities; that the
orks for manufacturing war macm-
nery are in perfect order; that science
is being exhausted in trying to per
fect all arms from carbines to field
guns; that the possibilities of the
submarine are being saught for; that
we may not be totally unprepared
when our turn shall come.
We cannot see why all the boys in
our schools above fifteen years of age
are not being daily trained for what
mav be in store for our country.
Ancient Greece never reached per
fection in the arts and in architec
ture, until through her daily military
training as soldiers they reached
nearer physical and mental periec
tion than any race since has.
That splendid lesson is one tnat
should be constantly studied in our
republic.
As it is we seem to be merely trust
ing to fate to keep us at peace, and
which, if persisted in, will cause our
country to lose a full hundred thous
and brave men before the country's
armies will have learned tow to fight.

THE XEW SOCIETY PAGE.
After twelve years of Congress,
Victor Murdock, red-headed, amia
ble, progressive and able, has return
ed to his home city of Wichita, Kan
sas, to resume publication of the Dai
ly Eagle, of which he is the owner.
He re-enters newspaper lite witn
new ana mcaern metis, ami huiuuk
them is an adjectiveless society page.
What is meant is, that in Mr. Mur
dochs Eagle, there will be no more
items like this :
The charming Mrs. Wilberforce
Dustin-Rocks gave a delightful din
ner nartv last evening to a select party
of distinguished friends. The hostess
was becomingly attired in a raris gown
of exiiiisite satin, trimmed in gold lace.
The spacious parlors were beautifully
decorated with cut flowers and trailing
evergreens.
As Mr. Murdock will have it writ
ten, the Eagle will say it this way:
Mrs. Wilberforce Pustin-Rocks en-
tertnined a nartv of friends at dinner
last evening. Only a few guests were
in ited.
Man proposes, but woman often
disposes. Editor Murdock plans, but
the ladies of Wichita's fair 400 or
dain. A poor newspaper pilgrim
with progressive notions about how to
run a society page, may at no distant
date, conclude that all the rules of
safety first" should have been ap
plied before recklessly undertaking
to revolutionize the ideas and cus
toms of social Wichita.
It is true as Mr. Murdock says,
that any fool reader ought to know
that on the occasion of her dinner
party, Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Rocks
was dressed to "kill," that the Dustin-Rocks
parlors were a bower of
floral decorations, that any affair at
the Dustin-Rocks palatial home is
made brilliantly exclusive by the
charming hostess.
All that is, indeed, fundamental as
to the Dustin-Rockses and all the
first families. But the burning ques
tion is, will Wichita's select social set
permit its brilliant functions to be
described in the same cold blooded
fashion with which there is mention
of an advance in the price of pork or
the crop prospects of alfalfa. Ore

MIL HILL'S PREDICTION.
James J. Hill, who forecasts dollar
wheat this year and 70 cents in 1916
founds his prediction on the expected
release of 132,000,000 bushels of
Russian grain by the opening of the
Dardanelles, says the Spokesman
Review. He does not explain his
source of information as to the Rub
sian supply, a point upon which other
authorities confess a lack of close or
approximate knowledge. Even the
London Economist admits that no one
can say how much grain will be avail
able there, "since it is not known how
much of last year's harvest has been
carried down to ports, or how much is
lying back In the country for want
of transportation facilities. How
many steamers are shut In the Black
sea no one can say.
Even though Mr. Hill's estimate of
132,000,000 bushels should be cor
rect, there is reason to believe that it
would fall short of the European de
ficiency resulting from the war, for
he concedes that "It may be estimated

Austria and France will be between
40 aud 45 per cent under the aver-
If that is true of these countries
what of Russia's production this
year ? Russia, too, has taken mil
lions of men and millions of horses
from the farms. She may need every
bushel for her own people and have
none to sell, and if that is her pros
pect, she will probably guard the
present reserve, whatever it may be.
Neither the ending of our civil
war nor the conclusion of the Franco
Prusian war of 1871, as the Spokesman-Review
has previously shown,
was followed by a fall in the price of
wheat. In fact the converse was the
case. Wheat went up with the sign
ing of the terms of peace. Mr. Hill,
however, thinks "the very fact the
war is over will have the effect of
causing some settling back of wheat
prices," and for another reason he
argues that "the European laborer,
with factories destroyed and many in
dustries ruined, will turn back to
Mother Earth for his living, and that
will be an important factor in in
creasing the world's supply and driv
ing prices down."
This overlooks the other side of the
balance sheet the loss of millions of
men and horses on the batle field, a
scarcity of seed and the rundown con
dition of the farms. Ruined manu
facturing industries can be restored
without horses and seed; ruined agri
culture can not.
On this question Mr. Hill, like all
the rest of us, is only guessing. His
guess may come true, but present in
dications do not bear liim out.
THE SECOND GENERATION.
William Howard Taft, when presi
dent of the United States, vetoed the
Interstate Kenyon-Webb bill on the
ground of its unconstitutionality.
His elder son Robert maintains In an
article in the Harvard Law Review
that the Webb act is constitutional.
The ex-president wrote a very
learned article setting forth the evils
of statewide prohibition and made
plain why that policy was a failure
and impracticable. His second son
Charles of Yale, in a debating con
test with the Syracuse University
team, vigorously defends the doctrine
that prohibition of the liquor traffic
is a good thing, alleging that it has
proved to be a success, especially in
Kansas and Maine. He told of the
prosperity that followed the enforce
ment of dry state laws, and reasoned
that the policy was desirable from
every standpoint.
Nearly 30,(100,01)0 Cattle Reported
In Argentina.
Consul General Leo J. Kenna, Bue
nos Aires, says that, according to
La Razon, the number of domestic
animals in Argentina at the end of
1914 was as follows: Horned cattle,
29,500,000; horses, 9,700,000; mules
580,000; asses, 340,000; sheep, 80,
000,000; goats, 4,520,000; pigs, 3,
050,000. The live stock census of
1908 showed 29,116,625 horned cat
tle, 70,000,000 sheep and 9,000,000
horses and mules. In 1914 the pack
ing freezing plants killed 1, bib, 000
cattle and 2,500,000 sheep, and the
slaughter houses killed 2,035,000
cattle and 1,600,000 sheep.
