GIVING YOVR BEST.
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.

: 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.

Gus Wilcox was made to suffer to

Rhea creek. The waters of that

cause of the freshet and they caught

of his ' crop was delivered down

however, compared with what hap

of several weeks during which time
he visited many points in Oregon and
