MORROW COl'KTV OFFICIAL PAPER
AS ACCOMODATION TO
FARMERS.
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-

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. .

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." Julian

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. By and large, residents of
the United State who prefer the lit
