MOHHOW COIXTV OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, April 29, 1915.
Those of our citizens who visited
Hardman on Monday to attend the
I, 0. O. F. celebration, are loud in
their praise of the splendid time they
had, and the cordial treatment ac
corded them by the citizens of the
little south-end city. It would seem
that there was nothing left undone
that should have been done for the
comfort and pleasure of the visitors
and there was nothing to mar the en
joyment of the occasion. It is no light
undertaking to entertain so large a
portion of the outside communities,
and for a place the size of Hardman
to do so well and make such a splen
did impression, speaks volumes for
her enterprising citizens. These gath
erings do a community good and the
town of Hardman has gained much
to her praise in the manner in which
she entertained her visitors on Mon
day. We would call attention to a com
munication in another column on the
road question. This matter of good
roads for Morrow county is a very
live question, and our correspondent
touches upon a point or two well
worthy of earnest consideration. We
have our ideas about the carrying on
of road work in this county; in times
past we have had something to say,
but just now we are willing to give
this discussion over to the citizens of
the county the tax payers who
have to foot the bills. We like the
suggestion offered in this article that
there be a free and open discussion of
this question, and wish to assure our
readers that the columns of this pa
per are open at all times to the fair
discussion of any question of public
policy. We especially desire that this
road question be freely discussed in
the pages of this paper, and will give
all the space to it that is deemed nec
essary. We do not invite controversy
but frank discussion of the question
cannot but result in good. Come on
with your ideas.
Four dollars and thirty-five cents
is not a great sum to part with, and
especially when the cause is a worthy
one, such as a visit to The Dalles and
Big Eddy next week to enjoy the cele
bration of the opening of the great
Dalles-Celilo Canal. There will
doubtlessly be a large representation
of Morrow county citizens present on
this occasion to join their voices in
the general rejoicing of the popula
tion of the Columbia River basin over
the completion of the great work.
It marks another epoch in the ad
vancement of the Northwest and is
the opening up of the great avenue
for advancement ana progress of the
Inland Empire.
WHY EDITORS ARE INNOCENT.
In Stillwater, Minn., the convicts of
the state prison publish a little mag
azine called the "Mirror," for their
own edification and instruction. They
sometimes have difficulty in handling
all the technical problems connected
with the somewhat pretentious pub
lication because there are never any
editors in prison! The amateurs who
run the magazine have pondered over
the situation and have the following
to say.
"Why is it that from the first in
ception of our paper to the, present
time we have never had an editor to
sojourn in our midst? Other pro
fessions have been well represented.
Of preachers we have had enough to
furnish subsistence to an African
chief for a year; of doctors, sufficient
In numbers to depopulate a state;
and of lawyers, enough to establish
a good-sized colony in hades. But
editors not one."
This is a compliment to the pro
fession and comes from a source
which is authoritative. Of course,
there may have been editors in prison
at some time, somewhere, but these
were mostly "journalists" not real
industrious, every-day editors.
With becoming modesty, we can
state that the reasons for the high
grade of morality existing among
editors are two-fold. First, their oc
cupation requires them to maintain
a judicial attitude, which generally
prevents them from doing anything
in violation of laws. Second, they
haven't time to do anything wicked
even if they wanted to.
By a strange coincidence, just af
ter the Stillwater paper issued its
startling statement, the University of
Wisconsin instituted a labor which
may serve to drive our second point
home forcibly. Its experts are be
ginning a "survey" of Wisconsin
newspapers to learn the insides of the
publishing business. Among other
things, the experts ask what editors
do with their time. In a general
way, the result of the survey on this
point may be forecast fairly accu-
rate.
It will show that the average editor
J has the following things to do almost
j every day;
I Sweep out the office, hire a new of
fice boy, read seventy-five out-of-town
newspapers, write from three
to six columns of news, read proofs
on forty columns of type, indulge in
one or two fights with irate sub
scribers, chat with ten or twenty
politicians, open and answer corres
pondence, reply to foolish questions
1 over the telephone, grant employes
a raise in pay, reduce his own sti
pend, compose several deep editorials
explaining subjects which have puz
zled the world's greatest minds, call
on the banker to discuss the weather,
eat a sandwich, put coal on the fur
nace fire, attend the theatre, church
and prizefight, look in at a reception
or two, act as judge at a raffle, try
to collect bills, attend choir rehear
sal and then at odd times perform a
few chores around the house.
Under the circumstances, how can
an editor be wicked.-Seaside Signal.
NATURALLY.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
1 that the woman who has become the
'bride of the 101-year-old Joplln man
is likely to discover that he is some
, what "sot in his ways."
According to the lone Journal,
that city is seriously considering the
oiling of their principal business
streets. This is a good idea. Hepp
ner might arrange to loan them the
use of out oil sprinkler for a few-days.
Senator Porter J. McCumber, in
speaking at the Eugene Commercial
1 Club recently, said: "In our haste to
. bring about reform, we are abandon
' ing the fundamental principles of
government necessary for freedom
I we are adopting paternalistic and
socialistic theories. We have adopt
I ed the ideas of a new school we are
abandoning the constitutional prin
ciples and drifting out to the sea of
every varying public fancy. We look
to the theory that we no longer need
a constitution to check us and that
nothing should stand in our way.
Our ancestors did need a constitution
and they knew that the American
people required a constitution tested
by centuries to bind the people.
Every paragraph of the constitution
is for the protection of the minority
against the dangers of the majorities
political and religious Intemperance.
Gentlemen, the great problem con
fronting the American people today
is the duty to create a careful and
conseratlve American citizenship.
Let us see to it that our foreigners
are taken into our schools and sent

In other words, let us preserve the
very foundation of our government
and curb the political vaudeville of
the professional office seeker.
Rain! Rain in abundance,
the farmers rejoice.

Heppner's hard surface walks are
on the increase. Many property
owners are laying concrete walks and
they say that they are as cheap, if
not cheaper, than board walks. Are
your walks worn out? If they are,
you might do well to confer with the
concrete man, and find out just what
the cost would be. The low figures
might surprise you. Besides, you
would have a walk that would last
for all time, and something that
would add to the beauty of your pro
perty as well.
Snow the last of April ! A few
flakes fell this morning after the
rain, but they melted as they struck
the ground.
