HORKOW COVVrY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, September 16, 19.15.
FROM AX OLDER GKRMAX-AMEH-1CAX
HEAD.
A German-American citizen of the
United States who has lived iu this
country a number of years, contrib
utes an article addressed to German
Anierkans who have not lived here
long and more especially to those
who are inclined to forfeit their Am
erican citizenship. From it the fol
lowing timely observations are tak
en: "Do you remember why you left
Germany? It was to escape a nar
row, restricted existence under the
domineering, swashbuckling rule of
an oppressive military aristocracy.
"You were tired of being elbowed
off the sidewalks by superior young
beings In uniform and upturned mus
taches. You were so unhappy that
neither your passion for German kul
tur nor the ties of blood could keep
you there.
"You swore allegianca to our flag
and institutions. You were warmly
welcomed. You sharel in our gov
ernment. Your nev freedom was
glorious. You loved it wallowed In
it. And you prospered In it.
"And now you are preparing to
smite the hand that succored you
when you were starving for freedom
and a fair chance in life,
"You have heard your master's
voice. You have not been American
citizens long enough to breed out
this spirit of subserviency to aris
tocracy and the rule of divine right.
"Get the notion out of your head
that American conscience and sense
of justice is in your keeping; that
you alone possess the wisdom to
guide our country in this crisis. Re
sume your allegiance to the Stars and
Stripes and be quiet, for you will not
be permitted to influence in the
slightest degree the foreign policy
of the American government."
Boise Statesman.
It appears to be expedient to say
that there is no such thins in Oregon
as a state highway. All roads are
built by counties or road districts. and
the state In certain cases gives inci
dental aid through its highway com
mission. If the people of Central Oregon
desire direct connection with the Co
lumbia River Highway, it is up to
them to father the movement to get
it. There need be no antagonism
between any plan to build a road
from The Dalles to Pendleton, La
Grande and Baker, and another road
up the John Day to Malheur County.
It is a big state and it must have
many roads, great and small. Some
day there may be a more generous
scheme of state aid. and then the
road through Central Oregon may
get substantial help. But just now
the only practicable way is for every
county to build its own roads, either
by itself or in conjunction with other
counties.
Let Wheeler, Grant and Malheur
devise a consistent and workable plan
for a through road, and there will be
no difficulty about getting it to the
attention of the state at large Ore-
gonian.
cess as his immediate experience,
plus the past experience of his fath
ers and the present experience of his
neighbors.
It is plain that In the game of shut
tlecock between knowledge and ig
norance the farmer and the lawyer
are equally engaged and that both
are subject to certain axiomatic me
thods of business punctlllious at
tendance to details, scrupulous at
tendance to intellectual as well as
moral honesty, the spirit of neigh
borly service, the smile instead of the
grouch, and so on.
The humorist may compare the
honest farmer with the honest law
yer, yet the humorist makes no head
way against ultimate results, where
in truth counts for more than false
hood and honesty more than suspic
ious dealings.
A man's a man for all that, what
ever his occupation, wherever he lives
and to whatever race he belongs.
There are fundamentals. "Thus
saith the Lord" applies to more than
the ancient Hebrew. Itjs the com
mandment from the mountain top to
all the world. Spokesman-Review.

Welcome to our city.
You will be glad you came.
There is a sense in which the ac
tion of the stockholders of the Mor
row County Creamery & Cold Storage
Company, at theirra eeting on Mon
day, it to be regretted. The effort
to get such an industry started off in
this city was worthy of highest com
mendation, and that it has failed of
its purpose at this time is a serious
setback to an enterprse that ultimate
ly means much to the people of the
town and tributary territory. Why
it has failed is not a question to be
discussed at this time, for there are
a number of causes, perhaps, contrib
uting to this result. But it is, never
theless, a serious blow to getting
what a very great nVimber of our peo
ple feel is a splendid enterprise for
the community, and it may be a long
time before the necessary enthusiasm
is again aroused that will give us this
industry.
But as things have transpired that
make it a very uphill task for the
Company to proceed along satisfac
tory lines, there was nothing left for
it to do. It had served its purpose
and it will quit with honor. Peace
to its ashes.
VXDESIRA RLE CITIZEN'S.
"Undesirable citizens of foreign
birth are those who hiss the flag, de
sppse our American institutions, re
main anti-Christian, and are cruel
in their domestic relations."
Such was the comprehensive defi
nition given by the Rev. John
Thompson, secretary of the Chicago
City Missionary society, at the Swe
dish conference of he Methodist
Episcopal church held in that city the
other day.
"Such undesirable citizens," the
speaker further said, "ought to be
told that this country will treat them
better than any other, will give their
children better advantages, but if
they do not obey our laws and up
hold our institutions, will send them
back to the country from which they
came."
Patriotism cannot be too early in
stilled in the minds of the coming
generation and in the public school
is the place to do it. Portland Tele
gram. r.ELK-HEIJ' OX ROADS,
A look at the exhibits convinces
us at once that the slogan, "Bigger
and Better than Before," was a well
chosen one.
In fact, from present indications,
Morrow county should have no trou
ble in taking first prize for the Eas
tern division at the Oregon State
Fair again this year.
And it is gratifying to note that
the exhibitors of last year have come
again with larger and more complete
displays. The displays of individual
exhibtors are becomng more numer
ous and of a better quality every
year.
COMMANDMENT FROM MOUNTAIN
TOP.
Farmers and lawyers are not sup
posed to have much in common, eith
er in their habits of life, habits of
work or habits of leisure. Yet it is
true that farmers and lawyers are
equally subject to certain broad lines
of success or failure. i
Knowledge and ignorance are two
factors which determine largely suc
cess or failure. No one has all know
ledge, nor is anyone wholly ignorant.
Even the poorest farmer has accu
mulated a lot of knowledge about far
ming and the brightest farmer finds
himself walled in by ignorance. The
shabby lawyer also has absorbed
much legal lore, while those at the
top of the profession often are called
upon to thank their stars that the op
posing counsel or even the judge
missed a point.
Then, again, the lawyer is sup
posed to have to do more largely with
books and book knowledge. When
the lawyer gets up against the jury
or in the preparation of witnesses for
the trial he finds the outside know
ledge of men and manners quite as
valuable as anything that he digs out
of his library.
Likewise, the farmer is supposed
to derive the larger part of his know
ledge of farming from facts of soil
and plants and animal life, first hand
yet the successful farmer knows that
book knowledge which has to do with
soils and with animals and with
plants and with market conditions
has as much to do with his own sue-

the heart of Central Oregon is
much wrought up because the Colum
bia River Highway is bo it says
not to be extended as a state highway
through Central Oregon, but is to
take the devious route through Pen
dleton, La Grande and Baker, in or
der to reach the ultimate state boun
dary. The Bagle calls attention to
the entire feasibility and greater di
rectness of the route up the John
Day River through Wheeler, Grant
and Malheur counties to Vale and
Ontario, and wants to know why it
is not better to save 120 miles and
traverse a country that is "varied in
its scenery from timbered mountains
to rich and fertile valleys." The
Canyon City paper also indulges in
sundry adimadversions upon the
"sagebrush semi-deserts of Morrow,
Union and Umatilla counties.
