TIGKS TELLING CARTOON.
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.
