The man who lias good breeding livestock is due for a period of pros perity which looks like it might be a long one, but t"ie man who has none will wish he had and when he does get it, will perhaps know enough to stay with it. Rural Spirit. A K.UK rliAN. The Pendleton Tribune, in an able editorial recently, suggested that the six candidates who are In the race for Public Service Commissioner should be called before a joint meeting in that city. The Tribune suggests the meeting be held under the auspices of the Young Men and Young Wom en's republican club, an organization of Umatilla county, making the meet ing open to the public. This would give every candidate an equal oppor tunity to meet the voters, state their qualifications for the office and their reasons for seeking the position. What would be good for Pendleton would be good for every other city In the district. The plan is a fair one and all candidates should not ob ject to such a procedure. A joint tour of as much of the Eastern Ore gon district as possible by these can didates before the primary election would give the voters an opportun ity to decide who would be the best man to elect to the important posi tion of Public Service Commissioner. When the city of Heppner built the new concrete bridge across Wil low creek at the lower end of Gale street, the eld bridge some seventy five feet to the left was torn out. But the approaches to the old bridge were never closed or fenced in and today the gaping hole remains there, a menace to the lives of all travelers and especially strangers who are not familiar with our streets. There is nothing to keep them from driving or riding into the creek on some dark night. A damage suit would possibly follow which might prove costly to the city. The county court, accompanied by Morrow county citizens went to the eastern end of the county yester day afternoon, where they met a large delegation from Pendleton and Pilot Rock. The spirit -which prompt ed this get-together meeting is the same spirt which will eventually bring good roads to Morrow and Umatilla counties. The trend is in the right direction and the more meetings arranged for the discussion of the good roads subject the sooner will come permanent highways. SCIENCE AXl INVENTION LKSSEX THE SCFFEKIXU FROM WAR, Scientific experts have narrated how terribly the scientific and icven- tional advances of the last half cen tury have multiplied men's capacities for destruction. The war has demon strated their statements to the lay man. He not unnaturally asks whether the benefits of Invention and science balance the bane. William Osier, the scientist of medicine, af firms that the benefist outweigh the evils, but Dr. John B.. C. Kershaw feels less sure. This, he points out, is the first great war during which the striking progress of scientific knowledge since 1871 has had full play. The practice of the principles involved in the elec tric dynamo and the petrol of gaso line motor, the smokeless powder and the high explosive, even the poi sonous liquids and condensed gases of the fighting front have enabled much larger fighting forces to be kept in the field and have thus Intensified the horrors of war. The effective ap plication of engineering to aviation has developed the characteristic hor ror of this war, the bringing of civ ilians, even of children, within its zone. This had previously been un precedented in civilized warfare Sniping has also been rendered dead lier. The hidden sniper using smoke less powder slays scores of the en emy before his hiding place can be discovered. The effect upon the mor ale is inexpressibly trying. The enor mous extension In the range of ar tillery and rifle accentuates the strain of the victims who must remain pass- live while bombarded. Yet the application of science to war does not constitute a catalogue of unrelieved wretchedness. Dr. Ker shaw refers to transport, surgery, sanitation and medicine. Soldiers in the field are the best fed men in the world. Fresh vegetables, meat and bread, pure water and facilities for bathing are the commonplaces of the firing line. Disease has been all but banished. The wound no longer is so serious in itself as of yore. The percentage of recovery from wounds is amazing. There have been ad vancea from antisepsis to asepsis that would astound Lister himself. What Osier and Kershaw consider the mis take of those who argue that the evils of applied science exceed the advantages springs from ignorance of the soldier's life. Death snaps its grinning jaws in his face, but science stretches forth a thousand hands to snatch him from death. Spokesman Review. LIVESTOCK PRICES. Sheep are. selling for the highest prices ever known. Cattle are high er than ever before at this time of the year. Hogs are about $2 higher than they were two months ago, and the prospects for the livestock inter ests never looked brighter from the producer's standpoint. There is also a strong prospect that these prices will continue for several months and perhaps fpr years. It looks good. But there are two important things to remember and consider along with these prospects. As the Rural Spirit has so often pointed out, these high prices are for the benefit of the man who staid In the business, and not for the inducement of others to get Into it. During the past few months we have repeatedly urged farmers and breeders not to dispose of their breeding herds because of low prices, and showed them, very clearly, that it is the man who gets in at such a time as this is the man who stays in, and not the man who gets in at such a time as this, who wins out. Another thing. Prices now are Did you register? Villa has been reported dead, it being reported that his body has been found. It may yet develop that the Mexican renegade has a double. The day for filing declarations of candidacy In Morrow county closed with the ring pretty well filled up with hats of political aspirants. The fellow that failed to register and won't vote will probably howl louder than any one if things don't go the way he thinks they should. The man with the black eye de clared he had found there was some difference between being ready and being prepared. Minor & Co, who are the owners of a. lot on Gale street adjoining the Star theater, have been making many improvements to that piece of prop erty. The lot has been leveled off, ornamental shrubbery planted and a neat wire fence built around the en tire property. It will make an ideal residence property.
