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.
