ABE VOU EDUCATED.
A professor of the University of
Chicago has evolved a series of test
questions for the educated which, he
avows, are the best evidences of a
real education. If you can answer
"yes" to all the questions you are
truly educated, the professor says.
Here are the questions:
Has your education given you sym
pathy with all good causes and made
yoa espouse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and hap
py in the meanest drudgeries of life?
Do you think that washing dishes
and hoeing corn is just as compat
ible with high thinking as piano
playing or golf?
Are you good for anything your
self? Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything but dollars and cents?
Can you look into a mud-puddle
by the wayside and see a clear sky?
Can you see anything in a puddle
but mud?
WAR REVOLUTIONIZES MIDDLE
CLASS LIFE IN ENGLAND.
"Because men are dying," says Re
becca West of England, n discussing
her countrywomen, "to maintain na
tional life, we do not notice that this
is changing as quickly as they die."
The heart of English life is devoured,
the places where the future is nur
tured, the part that is woman's care.
The good deeds of English women
in this war "are precious because
performed by women who were not
set apart by any passion of renuncia
tion or service." One had spent a
great part of her existence in playing
eolf with distinction. Another had a
passion for getting up things. Both
went to Serbia, and are now of the
fellowship of heroes dead. Ordinary
women are working as helpers in
Belgium by twos or singly and moth
ering babies at the risk of their lives.
The kin of such women feel as if they
too die gloriously, and these women
dead become a strain in the English
blood that will live while England
stands.
The mass of English women, of
mothers and wives, hpve received a
revelation from the war. The rela
tive ease of 18 months ago has yield
ed place to the hardest work as man
of all work as well as housewife. The
British homemaker has to struggle
to keep the war out of her home and
to make her life worth living. The
middle-class home, which leans so
heavily on the system of distribution
which the war has broken down in
England, "has tumbled like a house
of cards."
Decent life has been raised by the
war into fiineness, but base life has
been made baser. The simple, loose
ly organized life of rural England
from which the lady of whom Miss
West tells had drawn her life is gone
Subscriptions to war loans and di
minished incomes have inflicted
sharp pinches upon the middle class
es. Ladies unacquainted with man
ual labor try to do their own plumb
The European war has supplied
the world with a great many object
lessons. One is that the disposition
of most nations is to be faithkeeping
until it looks as though an advantage
could be gained by breaking faith
and then a debate is sprung at once.
Another object lesson that has been
furnish is the accentuating of the
wisdom of Washington's injunction
to '"in time of peace prepare for
war."
Another lesson which is most per
tinent makes clear the wisdom of the
Nevada saloon keeper's remark in,
self-justification when arraigned for
keeping a disorderly house. Said he,
When I opened my saloon I prom
ised the best citizens of the place
that it should always be a peaceable,
quiet place, and I am going to keep
my word if I have to beat to death
some blankety blankety unregener-
ate son of a gun every quarter of an
hour." ,
Certain facts are plain to the dull
est eyes. No formidable enemy could
attack us without coming from three
to five thousand miles to do so.
That makes clear at a glance that
we should have an ample fleet to en
tertain them were they to ccme; an
ample fleet and coast defenses, and
both the fleets and fortresses should
always be prepared for immediate
business.
Each state should have an ample
state guard and these state guards
should always be ready for business
and the government should see that
ample material to enable them to do
effective work should be kept in de
pots so arranged that railroads could
be engaged to hurry both the men
and supplies to any needed point.
Military training should begin at
once In all the advanced graded
schools and in all the high schools,
with annual maneuvers under United
States officers.
This kept up for ten years would
greatly improve the efficiency of the
coming generation for all the works
of peace, and would scatter through
out the republic some millions of
young men who would be ready for
service at a moment's call; the
knowledge of which fact would cause
alj the world's bullying powers to
think twice before undertaking any
raids upon us. Of course, the army
and navy departments would keep up
with the advances in the means and
instruments for killing men which
might be made and should keep ex
perts in invention, in science and me
chanics constantly busy along all
those lines.
The expense of all this ought not
to be relatively very great, nothing
at all to compare with what the cost
of war would be if sprung upon us
while unprepared. Moreover, it
would reduce the danger of war
quite 90 per cent.
As for alliances. They were once
thought to be good things to ward oft
wars and so were peace-covenants
between nations. The present Euro
pean war shows that agreements
among nations count for little except
where there is a power behind them
to enforce them. Goodwin's Week

Portland, Oregon
The past week has been history-
making weather for Morrow county
and probably other sections are ex
periencing more winter than even we
of this mild district. Frank Gilliam
the local weather man, reports 64
inches of snow up to the time of go
ing to press and as the storm con
tinues, it is hard indeed to predict
what and where the end will be and
the disastrous results to be recorded
Certain it is that the stockman
who has been unfortunate enough
to face a shortage of hay may en
counter severe loss if the present
spell continues for long. Many stock
men have been shut off from their
outside supply of hay, corn and al
falfa meal since the railroad tie-up
and the situation is growing serious
ANOTHER FORWARD STEP.
Heppner high school, which at the
present time has the distinction of
being the only standard school in the
county, takes another step forward
this week with the announcement of
Superintendent Hoffman that it has
been accepted as an accredited school
by the Case School of Applied Sci
ence in Cleveland, Ohio. Case School
of Applied Science is one oj the fore
most schools in this country, and the
fact that our local high school has
been placed on their accredited list
speaks volumes for the progressive
work the faculty under the able lead
ership of Superintendent Hoffman
has been carrying on.

(applause on the Republican side) ;
that we should increase or provide
our fortifications so that our coasts
may be fairly, amply protected, and
that we should provide a Navy which
will be able to defend us on the sea.
I have much more fear in the end of
war with England than I have of
war with Germany. (Applause.)
Events are coming rapidly in the
world. We may sit by and watt in
contentment, and yet it is our duty,
as the managers of a great country
and a powerful people, to provide for
their protection against possibilities
well as against certainties. I
think, then, that we oght to provide
these great forces; that it ought to
be considered as an emergency mat
ter, entirely apart from the ordinary
routine or expense of Government,
without regard to partisanship or
party lines (Applause.) It England
and France and Germany and Italy
can consider their problems without
party lines, a country like ours ought
to be able to sweep aside mere par
tisan considerations and try all to
stand together loyal to the country,
in the effort to aid the Administra
tion of the Government.
I think, further, that we ought to
provide in some way for the building
p and the strengthening of our home
industries, so that if we shall become
nvolved in war we may be able to
live within ourselves. (Applause.)
And I think as far as possible that
question should be considered entire
ly apart from former partisan opin
ion, in the hope that in some way we
may get together in the interest of
our country, if we should become in
volved in a struggle with a foreign
power.
T have snoken thus very briefly,
not with rhetoric or fancSHphrase,
because it seems to me that if there
ever was a time in He history of our
country when we ought to invite and
receive expressions of opinion from
all sides, this is one of the times,
with a firm determination that out
of it we will bring results; a com
bination of the opinions of all, with
out expressing the views of any,
which we and all of our people may
stand for, that we may uphold in the
future our national honor and our
national integrity, and, it seems to
me, possibly our modern civilization,
which I fear may break down on the
other side of the water. Let us try
to think that is for the best of our
country, what we would do if we
had, each one, the supreme authority
and responsibility, if it were placed
upon each one to determine whether
he would take the chance of disaster
in the future, or prepare now to pre
vent that disaster. (Prolonged applause.)
