President Wilson vetoed the rider to the agricultural appropriation bill that put the war measure for saving daylight in the discard. Farmers jn particular and the mass of the people generally were strongly in favor of repealing the bill but President Wil son placed his veto to it for some reason or another. However, the people of the town of Condon, that hustling little burg over in the adjoining county of Gil liam have taken time into their own hands so to speak, and they have turned all their clocks and watches back to the regular time. Condon ites are not slow or have no desire to be thought as such, on the contrary they are quite progressive and up-to-date. Owing to the fact that most of the people, especially the farmers of that community had been going by the old time anyway, it was considered best by all to make the old time uni versal. They point out the inconven ience to farmers on account of the difference of time and believe it will prove to the best interest of all to have a uniform time. Condon's move might well be fol lowed by all towns in the farming communities and especially where use of the old time is so universally observed as it is in the counties of Morrow and Gilliam. Heppner would find a great convenience in transacting business with farmers here should they decide to follow Condon's lead. JAPANESE HOLDINGS. Japanese are rapidly acquiring possession of city and suburban prop erty throughout the northwest, in such quantity as to create alarm in some communities. Seattle, chief port of entry for the Nipponese, is being literally overrun with them and their cheap standard of living is enabling them to invest thousands of dollars in lands and other real es fate. Nearly 50 per cent of the hotel buildings in the sound city are Jap anese owned, according to a recent estimate. Much of the farming land surrounding the city is held by them and their holdings are rapidly sDread ing in an directions. Virtually as many Japanese as Americans have purchased apole and other orchard lands in the Hool River district this year. While not every Japanese who buvs property settles uoon the land their possession, nevertheless, is be coming felt. The little brown men are acquiring the best there is and their rapid accumulation of money makes it possible for them to invest much more ouickly than the average American. At the present rate of ac quisition of property, a few years will see half of the cultivated land in the northwest in their hands. California, first to see the influx of this horde from across the Pacific, took ste"s t protect its population. The legislation was the basis of con siderable correspondence between the two nitons. The immigration problem will likewise beqin to show . on Orepon and Washington soon, es pecially with our own people pushing west and mee'inc an alien race push' in from the Pacific ports. Other n& tions have protected their own coptr lace by restrictions on land haldings It mav appear the expedient thine for America to do likewise. East Ore- gonian. INSTINCT. So far as we can discover there is mighty little influence that instinct or heredity has on human animals. The child at ten is about what its home and school environment have been for the years since birth. The man of forty is about what his job, and his education, and his chos en companions have made him. The woman is about what her mar riage has made of her. But when it comes to animals, it is different. The other day we assisted at the coming to earth of 11 pigs. Three hours after they were born they were shakily investigating the bedding of the farrowing pen, and a stranger approached. The mothter gave one low note of warning and every three-hour-old pig dropped to his little tummy, and lay motionless in the bedding. That was instinct, transmitted thru generations from wild forbears who had fought for existence in the for est. The human baby knows, apparent ly, nothing at all. It brings over nothing from the other shore, it is helpless and sense less, and it takes days on days for outside perceptions to make an im pressiin on it. But the young of birds and of beasts come into being more or less drawing from Polish territory, in ac cordance with the requirements of the Treaty the, former are stealing cattle, furniture, and everyihing mov able that they can lay their thievish hands upon, while the latter have been running a wholesale counter- met of it has been wiped out of i.oo; their horizon, for every sharpened. j inherent instinct of every animal, the i so-called domesticated as well as the "wild," is founded on fear, on an age of tooth and claw. About the only instinct a man has that resembles this of the beasts is that queer thing called conscience, which makes cowards of us all. . t-t TRACTOR PRICES JUMP. Prices of farm tractors have gone up in North Dakota, due to two freak laws passed by the last session of the Non-Partisan League legislature. One law requires free time by the purchaser to test same and leave it on his own place without paying for it if it doesn't suit him. Another re-1 quires branch warehouses for each make of tractor sold, with a supply Df parts. As both of these require ments add heavily to the cost of do- ng business, the tractor buyers have to pay the bill by paying increased prices. Oregon Voter. HAS DONE MUCH FOR RACE. "I am going to say something now which a good many of you have never heard. The world's richest man is the world's greatest philan- trophist. Next to Wm. Hohenzollern his old man is the most maligned in dividual in the world but he has ac complished more for the welfare of the human race than any other man since the Reformation. He devel oped and distributed light and power to the world and his efficient, world wide organization is the only great ndustry which didn t crumble utter ly under the mighty and unusual pressure of the war. He was a coun try store clerk. I do not like him half so well as I like some gentle poets of my bookish acquaintance and I am not defending him, but my hat is off to John D. Rockefeller."

That highly productive wheat lands of the famous Walla Walla section were at one time considered worth less and that by good farming meth ods they were made to produce some of the largest crops of the entire Uni ted States. That Kansas will this year produce more wheat than any other one state in the Union and that this same ter ritory was once referred to in geog raphy as the Great American Des ert" and that it has long since been proven that there is "nothing the matter with Kansas." AfG?1770iV. Apparently we face a new fact, and a good many people are unduly excited about it. The Government recently calculated, on the basis of information on hand, than 1,300,000 aliens would leave the United States as soon as they could get passage. Instead of having the old immigra tion problem we may have the fact of extensive emigration. It will in volve some inconveniences. For ex ample, coal mines are already short of hands and will soon lose fourty thousand more, it is said, by emigra tion. There may be an inconvenient drain of labor from other fields, As a rule, the emigrants carry away con siderable sums of money. A million or two of them, if any such number should actually leave, would make a considerable dent in our favorable trade balance. But if one million or ten million foreign-born residents elect to return to their native lands, who is going to stop them, and on what grounds serfdom having been abolished even in Russia more than half a century ago? They are entitled to go and take with them the money they have earned and saved. We hope there will be no immigra tion into the United States, on an ex pensive scale, for the next five years. We are prepared to face with equan imity whatever emigration actually occurs.
