CllRISTM S DAY BOOKKEEPING. When M". Frick of New York heard that the savings of some school children in Pittsburg, savings of many years, had been lost by the sus pension of a saving's bank w here the money was deposited, he inquired the amount and was told that it was $160,000. Then he wired to Pitts burg to tell the children that it was all right, that he would make good the entire amount as a Christmas present to the children. It was a very splendid act on his part, and it was right to wire the story to the world's ends, to every place to which the ( i ctrict messenger carries news. It vas an example to rich people everywhere and the knowledge of it should soften the hearts of the poor toward the rich. Tony Bradshaw works for $3 per day and has a mother to support. But Tony is like most young ;nen. He is dead in love. His divinity is a buxom bl nde whose birthplace w as across the straits from Copenhagen. Tony admits that since the world began there may have been a few girls as sweet as his, but mot many. During the past month he denied himself tobacco and the five-cent glass of beer he is in normal times wont to indulge in after a day's hard work. He scrimped himself in other ways and saved from his wages $30 with which he intended to buy his sweetheart a bracelet and gold ring, take her to a photographer and have her sit for a picture for him, take her to a movie at night, and to supper later and hoped to save enough to buy his mother a $2 pair of spec tacles, that she might read with more comfort, and to carry home to her a hot oyster loaf. He started up town on Christmas morning, rejoicing in anticipation of the pleasure that was to be his through his proposed gifts. It was a cold morning, and as he was rub bing his ears and saying 'to himself that the air was a trifle crisp, he ran upon an urchin about ten years old that was barefoot. He stopped the child and said, "Sonny, where are your shoes?" The child gave him a pathetic look and answered softly. "I have no shoes." "Where do you live, son ny?" asked Tony. The child pointed to a little unpainted house near by and said, "There." Tony took the boy by the hand and said, "Come and show me your home?" Arriving there, Tony found the mother and two other children; found there were no comforts in the home and further that the mother had had no breakfast and the child ren only a crust of bread each. "What a brutal old world it is?" was Tony's first thought, then after a moment's reflection he went down in to his pocket and brought up his $30. He looked at it a moment, then se lected out $1.25, handed the rest to the woman, telling her that it was all he had with him that morning, but that he had plenty more at home and vanished before the woman could thank him. He bought a dollar's worth of roses and took them to his divinity, told her he had planned to take her to the theatre, but a few men were needed where he worked even on holiday night and the other men wanted to take their wives out on that night and so he had agreed to work. With the remaining twenty-five cents he bought a can of Van Camp's baked beans and took them to his mother and told her that the spectacle store was closed. Then with a grim smile he said to himself: "The Bible says there will be a hot time for all liars in the future and I have told three whoppers to three women to day." His acts were not cabled around the world, but in the great ledger of eternity both Frick and Tony have accounts, and it would be good to see the entries made for each on the Christmas page of 1915. Goodwin's Weekly, A. W. Lafferty has announced his candidacy for Congress from the 'hird district. A remarkable feature f his candidacy is that he announces he will seek the nomination at the ' ands of the republican party. Two short years ago he was a progressive, t species of political party that is now ell nigh extinct. This Is leap year. On to Hog Hollow! That will probably be the slogan adopted by the Good Roads organi zations both in South I'matilla and M rrow counties, since both Uma tilla and Morrow county will wake Hog Hollow their objective point wVen the "permanent roads" cam paign opens up in the Spring. Commendable work was done on our principal streets last week by J. 0. Hager, with the aid of a team and a road drag. The streets were caught in just the right condition during the freezing and thawing process The surface was smoothed over uniform ly and now since they have becom" frozen again they have a solidity and appearance resembling the paved streets. A trip over the new Franklin hill grade convinces us that it was a case of county money wisely spent. The grade of five per cent can easily be made on high by auto, even at this time of the year with several inches of snow covering the surface. The political bee has sufficiently thawed out his wings to begin a slight buzzing hereabouts. With a little more exercise he will be ready for ac tive work in another week or two. Another submarine crisis Is at hand. Will another note De forth coming. DO THEY WANT ROOSEVELT? Press reports from over the coun try seem to indicate that Theodore Roosevelt is regaining some of his lost prestige with the American peo ple in general and the Republican party in particular, and is really looming strong as a possible candi date for the republican party in 1916. The following is taken from the New- York Tribune: Do the republican leaders in Wash ington desire to make Theodore Roosevelt the republican candidate for president in 1916? Do they desire to see Mr. Roosevelt nominated and elected? Colonel Roosevelt's weaknesses are better known than those of an other American. The years since he left the White House have been years which have subtracted from, rather than added to his stature as a public in. There have been times in the last three years when his fellow coun trymen have been almost convinced that his usefullness was at an end. But in the last few months there has been no mistaking the fact that there has been a real change in pub lic opinion, and men who were long and steadfastly opposed to Mr. Roose velt as president and as a candidate are daily confessing to a change of opinion and feeling. The reason is simple and it is ex plained by an almost uniform state ment. Thousands and thousands of Americans believe that if Theodore Roosevelt had been president of the United States there would have been no Lusitania tragedy. Those who hold that the tragedy was inevitable be lieve that without war and without peril of war Mr. Roosevelt would have obtained from Germany a dis avowal and a guarantee against a repitition of the crime. There is one point on which Mr Roosevelt's strength has never been questioned. He is a patriotic, loyal aggressive American. He has from the beginning of his life stood con sistently and sturdily for an Ameri canism which is the natural out growth of the Americanism of 1775 and 1861. At all times, under all circumstances, without hesitation and without qualification, Colonel Roose velt has championed, fought for. served, an ideal of national honor which came down from other gener ations of Americans. In the present crisis in American history, when we are Involved in a dispute with Germany, because Ger many has murdered American citi zens, when we are facing a situa tion of anarchy and domestic strife at home, Colonel Roosevelt Is the one American who has, without hesitation and without thought of the political effect of his words, spoken frankly. Other public men have caviled and crawled. They have not dared to say the invasion of Belgium was a crime, even though not a crime calling for political intervention on the part of the United States, because such a dec laration would repel German-American votes. They have not dared to as sert that all that America stood for in history and tradition was at stake on the European battlefield, and that our cause was the cause of France and of Great Britain. But Colonel Roosevelt has said it is saying it. Other men in public life and office have mistaken the conditions of neu trality for that of neuter, and the mistake flows from political anxieties and concern for hyphenate vote. Now, if the republican leaders in Washington believe that they can im itate Mr. Wilson, preserve a discreet silence upon the things that are up permost in the minds and hearts of most Americans, keep the votes of the Americans without repulsing those of the German-Americans, invite to the republican party the votes of those German-Americans who are angry at Mr. Wilson for the little he has done to preserve American self-respect, while enlisting the support of those who resent his course, as cowardly, they are making a grave and fatal mistake. The issue of the next campaign will not be the tariff. It will not even be preparedness. It most assuredly will GOOD NEWS Many Heppner Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. "Good news travels fast," and the many Heppner etaoinetaointaointaoin many bad back sufferers in Heppner are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and ach ing back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their ex perience with this tested remedy: Her is an example worth reading: Henry Howard, Heppner, says: For thirty years I suffered from rheumatic pains in my back and hips. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills adver tised, I was Induced to try them. They gave me great relief. I only hope that my statement will be the means of leading other kidney sufferers to try Doan's Kidney Pills." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Howard had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. not even be Mr. Wilson s Mexican policy. The issue of the next election will be the preservation of American honor abroad and American existence at home. The issue can not be dodged, It can not be escaped, it can not be forgotten by mutual consent. Mil lions of American citizens in the last few weeks and months have awaken ed to the realization of the new con ditions and perils that face the coun try. They are at last appreciating the shame and humiliation of a for eign policy based upon domestic po litical considerations. They are per ceiving that extent of pusillanimity among their politicians and of cow ardice among their leaders. In this situation there is one man who has neither compromised nor qualified. There is one man who has from the very outset expressed his convictions, his beliefs, his faith, and that man is Theodore Roosevelt. He has not stopped to consider whether he could get the German-American votes if he did not characterize the Belgian infamy. He has not reduced to districts and congressmen the cost of defending American lives and hon or. He has told the truth that was in him. If the republican leaders in the capital and the nation today are not willing to face the situation that ex ists; if they do not dare to put their party squarely on record on questions which affect national honor and na tional security; if they become silent partners in the conspiracy of national betrayal at Washington, believing that they will thus get the votes of the hyphenates while keeping those of patriotic Americans, they will wake some months hence to find that they have delivered themselves bound hand and foot to Theodore Roosevelt, and that they have permitted him to become the single figure in American public life identified with a policy of courage and patriotism which will ap peal to the American people in the next campaign. If the republican leaders at Wash ington desire this thing to happen, there is nothing they need to do now that they have not been doing for months. Their present policy is all that is required to make the nomina tion and election of Colonel Roosevelt inevitable. As the situation now stands, Colonel Roosevelt Is the only man who can defeat Mr. Wilson, be cause he is the only man who has of fered an honest substitute for Mr Wilson's policy in the vital question of American honor abroad and secur ity at home. If the republican lead ers can not see this they are blinder now than they were in 1912, and they will presently pay for their blindness in as complete a fashion. Two generations ago a political party in this country strove to face both ways on a question of principle involving national safety and honor As a consequence it perished. The republican party can no more survive half American and half hyphen than could the whig when it became half slave and half free. If the republican leaders attempt to follow such a course, one of two things will happen either the patry will be destroyed altogether or It will become the in strument for the election of Mr Roosevelt. Gurdane & Son Move. Gurdane & Son are now located In the Roberts building at the corner of Main and Willow streets, having al ready moved the greater part of their stock from the old Masonic building, The interior arrangement of the new quarters has been changed to meet the demands of the new business. A partition now makes two rooms out of the one large room and the front of the building will be extended to the edge of the side walk, thereby adding about five feet to the length of the Interior floor space. When finally finished, Gurdane & Son expect to have one of the neatest business buildings the town affords. Livingston Resigns. W. K. Livingston, instructor in science in the Pendleton high school, and well known in this city, has re signed as coach of the basket ball team of the school as a result of fric tion between himself and members of the team. Mr. Livingston declaser that the boys did not show him the proper respect due to a choach. The boys could not stand criticism. Coach Livingston turned out a championship team last year. Mr. Livingston is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. E. D, Brown of this city. You've hit the right tobacco when you fire-up some Prince Albert in your old jimmy pipe or in a makin's cigarette.
