In Friday's Oregonian Tige Rey nolds told in cartoon the story of Ore gon. He pictured a farmer leaving his family in an automobile while he with two bags of money procured from selling dollar wheat hastened to a bank to deposit it. From the auto mobile came the admonition to "dad" "Hurry Pa. us for Portland as soon as possible." And that is correct. Tige again showed his keen grasp of the situa tion. All Oregon hastens to Port land to spend the money, which is but the natural thing to do. Every dollar produced in the state must first pay its tithing to trans- portation, which in turn trickles into Portland, and then the remainder of the dollar, or a large chunk of it reaches Portland in various ways. Lately Portland, as a city, has been trying to grasp the story that Tige Reynolds told in the Oregonian car toon, and an effort or several efforts have been talked of to aid in develop ing the state. It has not been long since Portlanders sat on their throne of wealth and rested In the belief that things would never change; that the money would keep coming and all she had to do was to build buildings and collect enormous rentals. Well, the money still continues to flow to Portland but it is in a little different shape now. There is a string or two tied to it and Portland Is sitting up and rubbing her eyes. If the Chamber of Commerce will enlarge Tlge's cartoon and place it in the main lobby it will have a study In black and white that should be of material interest to the financial kings of the metropolis. La Grande Observer. SPOILED HAY COVLD BE USED TO GOOD ADVANTAGE. Owing to the extremely wet weath er this year a great deal of hay was spoiled and on Butter creek large quanties of spoiled hay was burned in the field. This strikes us as being a great waste, for a trip down the creek recently revealed some of the worst roads it has been our misfor tune to encounter in a long time. The spoiled hay spread on these bad places in the road would have im proved their condition wonderfully and saved many dollars in time and trouble. It would have required but little time, comparatively, to have done this work and the results would have more than justified the efforts expended. In some parts of the county straw has been used on ther oads and it has Improved them very much, while in other parts sage brush has been uti lized in making what has been called "sage-brush macadam" and better roads have resulted. The spoiled hay, being heavier, would work bet ter than either of these. WHAT MR. HUGHES WOULD DO. In his Detroit address Mr. Hughes enlarged upon his previous criticism of the Wilson administration and In dicted the fundamental principle which would have controlled and di rected his actions if he had been pres ident and which will control and di rect him if he becomes president. One of these principles is the protection of the American citizen wherever he may go. "If a man is an American citizen," he says, "he goes with his rights and the right to the proper pro tection of his country under Interna tional law wherever he journeys throughout the world." There is nothing new in this declaration. Such rights have been recognized and maintained by every nation worthy of respect for the past century at least. They have been accepted and enforced by every president of the United States since the establishment of our government, with the single exception of the present executive, who, for the first time in our history, has set up the contrary doctrine that an American citizen, unlike the pro phet, is without honor save In his own country. Our imperative duty in our rela tions with Mexico, as with other coun tries, begins and ends with the maln teance of our national rights and the Individual rights of our citizens. All international law is based upon this basic principle of national protection and the protection of nationals.' All treaties of trade and commerce, as well as of comity, are founded upon it. It would have guided, and will guide, the foreign policy of Mr. Hug hes. He would have refused to med dle in 'the International political affairs of Mexico, but would have firmly Insisted upon, and compelled if need be, a wholesome respect for American cttixenshtp. Every step taken bp the present administration has been away from rather than to ward this end. America has been made a term of contempt in Mexico and American citizenship a thing of no value. Americans have been forc ed by their own government to aban don their property and leave the country. And all due to the rejec tion of the fundamental principle of International law. Mr. Hughes pur poses to restore this principle and put it into definite and vigorous action. He has been asked what he would have done, and what he would do, in relation to Mexico. This is his an swer and it is clear and complete. St. Louis Globe Democrat. -The Gazette-Times Printery this week delivered to Secretary Smead, of the Morrow County Fair Board the premium list for the 1916 fair. Mr. Smead has had his office force busy the past few days mailing out the books and each family in the county will receive one. It will be noticed that the premiums In one or two un important departments have been de creased, while in others of more im portance they have been increased. Some facts, however, which a perusal of the premium list will not show are the added stress to be given this year to educational features; the extraordinary line of free attractions; and the excellence of the agricultural and horticultural ex hibits. These last named are ex pected to excell all former fairs, both in quantity and quality and it is not at all unlikely that their excellence will surprise even those who will be expecting something extra fine. Now is the time to begin making plans to attend the fair and every per son in the county should be here. Even if your attendance will break In on important farm work, the bene fits gained both in recreation and knowledge will more than make up for the lost time at home. The county fair is an institution which must hae the support of all the people in the county in order that it bhall be the success it ought to be. Lincoln's, "Of the people, by the peo ple and for the people" as aptly ap plies to the county fair as it does to the nation, and as it is with the na tion, so it Is with the fair: it must have the united support of the people or It will fall of its purpose. The fair board are doing a fine work and they should have the appre ciation of all. Upon them falls the active management of our fair and they often receive blame which should be placed elsewhere, but with the people of the county, as a whole behind them their job of managing the fair become a pleasure instead of a chore and the results tor the good of the county are doubled and treb led. Let us all boost for the 1916 Mor row County Fair and make it ac tually "the best county fair in Ore gon. - Just four weeks from today and the Fourth . Annual Morrow County Fair will be on. Will you be one who can say: "Well I helped to make It a success." Morrow county wheat commands the highest market prices. This was proven last week when wheat Bold here several cents higher than was paid in any of the neighboring coun ties. EGG CITY ITEMS (Continued from page one) Eighteen hundred pounds of butter was the record made by the Morrow County Creamery last week. Business continues to increase according to Manager Ira Morgan and he predicts another year will show a big growth in the dairy industry of Morrow county. We would have the bulk of the tourist travel come through Hepp ner, but what would we do to attract them this way? Are we making any Individual effort to make our town more attractive? The suggestion made by one man that we have a pub lic camping ground within our city is a good one that should be followed out with all speed. The Federated Church.
