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.

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."

simply ask for a kidney remedy get

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.
