FITXESS AXD XOT POPULARITY Too often our public offices are filled with men who ride in on a wave of popularity. Little attention is given oftimes to the qualifications which they do or do not possess. That an absolutely fit man should be chosen to any office of public trust, there can be no doubt, yet the public is often baited with sugar coated po litical phrases which they allow to deceive themselves and do detriment to their own best interest. In the present campaign it has been our pleasure to meet a man who Is running on the republican ticket for a position on the public service commission. He is a man who has had to do with railroad rates to a considerable ejetent the past several years, and that in itself is an im portant factor for the reason that a great part of the commission's time is taken up in handling rate cases. Robert Service of Baker is seeking election from the common people, and a peep into his record is enough to convince anyone that he has al ways taken a stand there. Mr. Ser vice is not antagonistic to the rail roads in the strict sense of the term but he believes in a square deal all the way round. He is the first can- A schoolmaster is evidently need ed in Washington. The idea there seems to be to run the country in the old fashioned apple-paring, corn shucking way, a go-as-you-please af fair, where all are good fellows and no bossing is desired. But war is ruling nearly all the world now. It is convulsing Europe and western Asia, it is degenerating into coarse murder in Mexico; China is all ready for it; it is churning the world's ocean into bloody spray, and filling the air above. And war is strictly an imperial machine. There is no "if you please" about it. It is go and he goeth, come and he cometh. all its edicts are like moving the pre vious question they shut off debate. A few weeks ago a great cry came from Washington of the need of na tional preparedness, and the exper ience since indicates that the know ledge of what is needed is so obscure that a schoolmaster is needed to for mulate a system which will be com prehensive enough to meet the re quirements. We have before us a paper which tells how a French officer was called to the telephone about midnight one August night in 1914. A brief mes sage fell on his ear. He sprang into an auto and dashed away to the near est town and set a dozen 'phones ringing. In the next six hours sev eral hundred automobiles came and reported to him. Some were driven by workingmen, some by military of ficers; some by young men who still wore the full dress suits in which they were dressed when the order reached them. In fifteen hours they were all assigned tneir places with full supplies and had started for the front. They had been organized with the thought that war might come and every detail had been fixed so that there was not one second's delay in responding. Suppose such an order was to be sent out in our country, what would follow? The message that would come back would be: "Out of gaso- I line." Then there would be a call MONEY TO LOAN ON FIRST FARM MORTGAGES E. J. Roberson, 702 Title A Trust Building, Portland, Oregon. FOR SALE. One thoroughbred Duroc red boar Dig.

His slogan on the primary ballot is, "Regulate, give fair return on honest capital, nothing on watered stock." A vote for Robert Service will be a vote for your own best in terest. A man best fit for the posi tion should and undoubtedly will have the preference over the candi date who looks to local pride to elect him. The biggest one got away. Pretty dusty. How about the oil? Morrow county need not worry about someone to take care of the funds. It seems that there are sev eral aspiring to the job. A little work on clean-up day will keep that annual event up to the standard of bygone years. Let's do it better than ever this year. Game Warden Young announces that salmon have come up Willow creek as far as Lexington this year. If the farmers having dams along the creek observe the fish law properly,- these fish will be able to come on up the creek. Again the demon fire was Bub dued before it got in its destructive work. Heppner is the luckiest town on earth, but an organized fire de partment would not be amiss, since there is a good chance of a change of luck some day. We should be prepared. The first number of the lone In dependent has arrived at our desk. Editor Walter Cochran has produced in his first edition a newsy, breezy paper.

Mr. Cochran has already shown that his proposition is well worthy of the support of his fellow citizens and his initial venture is bound to succeed. ernment had just reserved to keep greedy speculators from appropriating. ! We have been threatened with war in several ways for the past three years, but as we understand it, there are no small arms for an army, no , heavy guns, no sufficient number of ; machine guns; no available supply ! of ammunition, and not enough food j to support a real army a month. More so much food has been sent abroad, that the poor of the country are al readv reduced to small rations aTid the prices are soaring out of sight. What common prudence has been exercised in husbanding the country's resources? Suppose a war was to be sprung upon us tomorrow what ex planation for the country's condition could those who handle our army and navy and the general government give for the condition the country is in? What could stop th ravaging of our coasts? What could possibly prevent the killing, uselessly, of from 10,000 to 500,000 of the bravest and best men of the republic? When our little war with Spain was declared and volunteers were called for, more of those volunteers died in camp than in battle, because there were no men competent to es tablish sanitary camps for them. Will our country never get the sense to use a little common prudence in keep ing the country in at least a little way ready to meet whatever call may be made upon it, and in time of peace to prevent the people from being rob bed and wronged by speculators?
