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

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

there is a good chance of a change of
luck some day. We should be prepared.

Editor Walter Cochran has produced
in his first edition a newsy, breezy
paper. One of the noticeable fea

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?
