There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the test you have, And the best will come back to you. Give love, and love to your life will flow, . A strength In your utmost need; Have faith and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth, and your gift will be paid In kind, And honor will honor meet; And a smile that is sweet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet. For life Is the mirror of king aud Flave, 'Tis just what we are and do: Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Madeline S. Brigga. STORMS WERE A BEN EFIT. Gross exaggerations appearing re cently in the Portland Oregonian con cerning the recent storm in this country are to be regretted by our citizens. In the first place, the storm did far more good than anything that has happened here for mauy months. Spring grain, much of which is just now in the boot, will be helped im measurably. As far as reports in form us, none of the grain was rtam ager seriously. . .And, now people over the north west are having that former" idea strengthened that Heppner and Morrow county is a place unfit to dwell in, unsafe to say the least. i We should look to it that more of the good things we have here are dwelt upon with more emphasis. The least we can do when we have a se vere storm is to confine ourselves to the facts when we tell the outside world about it. Minneapolis Journal It is history that the Democrat position on the tariff has always worked harm to American labor. The St. Louis plat form takes a curious Democratic flop fi-om the ancient position of the party on the tariff position. It "unreser vedly" indorses the Underwood tarlT (which has produced nothing but a treasury deficit, and made it neccs isary for the people to pay taxes, though the country is at peace); re affirms the Democratic belief that only such a tariff should be levied as I will supprt the government.economl 'cally administered; and then flops to the position as it flopped to prepar j edness, at the demand of expediency i that tariff rates ought to be subject to the change of changing economic conditions. Four years ago the tariff plank of the Democratic platform had nothing to say about changing the tariff to meet any sort of changed conditions. It demanded a tariff that would re duce the high cost of living and promised to fill the market basket for less money. The administration has utterly failed to lower the cost of living, but it has however lowered the government revenues. So the party reaffirms its belief in the Underwood tariff, because it had to and flops to an elastic tariff In the hope of bet tering its position with the electorate. The platform declaration about Mexico is flabby as the administra tion's policy has been. The declara tion to the effect that Intervention would be the equivalent of subjuga tion is about as cheap political clap tap as could be employed to excuse the blundering at Vera Cruz and Tamplco and the fiasco of man hunt ing in Northern Mexico. The two chairmen of the St. Louis convention did better than this, when one said nothing at all about Mexico and the other one sentence. On the same theory we would still be in Cuba. , The declaration for an internation al league of peace must have been thrown in as a sop to the Bryan pa cifists. It is just as harmless as Mr. Bryan's army of million men before sunset, and just as practical. Much party credit is taken by the platform for the Federal Reserve Bank, the whole idea of which was a Republi can origin. the ultimate settlement. I In the end we may find it just and necessary to impose indemnity for all our losses of life and treasure. Presi dent Wilson has made the mistake of telling Mexico that we shall exact nothing in way of settlement, but that promise was gratuitous and can not lawfully bind the American people or a succeeding administration. Presi dent Polk made similar professions iu 1845 and later recanted them. Spokesman-Review. 110 IE PEOPLE MEN (Continued from First Page) Now if it only would rain ! : Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has re fused the Progressive nomination for president and has given his support to Mr. Hughes. Rooseveltian policies did never jibe with those of Wilson, so how could the democrats expect ever to win favor of the progressives. Roosevelt is the progressive party. When he is done, that party also is done. ' He should receive the credit now due him for his most recent actons. ANOTHER NORMAL SCHOOL. It rains and the farmer smiles. HOW THE UNITED STATES WOULD FIGHT MEXICO. damage to growing grain from hail in fact none has fallen in the lone, wheat belt. Gus Wilcox was made to suffer to some extent again by the overflowing of a part of his farm at the mouth of Rhea creek. The waters of that 'stream got out over the banks be cause of the freshet and they caught Mr. Wilcox with a lot of, his hay down. The result was that a portion of his ' crop was delivered down stream. The damage was slight, however, compared with what hap pened when the big snow went off at the breaking up of winter. J. C. Hosteller, cashier of French & Co. bank of The Dalles, spent a couple of days in lone this week. He was on his way to Walla Walla with his family, and having a break down with his car he could not proceed un til new parts arrived from Portland. Mr. Hosteller has been a resident of The Dalles for the past quarter of a century and is quite well posted ou (Conditions in Eastern Oregon and he was much pleased with the progress and prosperity noted here. John Harbke is having a car load of lumber hauled to his place at Wells Springs and will put up a new house and barn there and make other substantial improvements. It is his idea that an artesian "How of water can be had at the springs, and with this in view he will shortly begin the sinking of a well there. Mr. Harbke has a lot of fath in this part of Mor row county and he is not afraid to show his faith by his works. J. A. Kiehn and Fred Scheel, far mers of this section, departed for Ritzville, Wash., on Monday. They have land interests there and at Spo kane, and expect to make a deal and djspose of some of their holdings. I These gentlemen hav been farming together here, but Mr. Scheel has re tired from the firm and will reside in the future at Ritzville where he has a wheat ranch. Henry Holgate returned tcf lone the last of the week after an absence of several weeks during which time he visited many points in Oregon and California in company with Frank Hall of Heppner. Mr. Holgate states that he finds crops looking better in Morrow county that in any of the country he visited, and he is pretty well satisfied to get back here again.

But however trying the task, once M. E. Cotter, well driller, reports that he is now down 533 feet in the well he is sinking on the John Nolan farm. A fairly good flow of water has been struck but Mr. Cotter is not quite satisfied that it is strong enough from the tests he has been able to make, and may decide to go deeper. K Many of the creek ranchers had hay down, and the heavy rains have caused this to be damaged to gome extent. It will be worse on the grain hay than on the alfalfa. Some of It was just cut and had not yet been put into the shock. R. L. Calkins, of Fresno, Calif., has been visiting for the past two weeks at the home of his brother, F. T.
