Theory of Transfusion Reveal Vital
ity by Which Ideals Uecunie
-Worldwide.
New York, Nov. 19. That the Uni
ted States will ultimately, by (orce or
example, abolish all empires and
kings and make all peoples into sep
arate republics is predicted in a book,
"America's Tomorrow," just pub
lished by Britton & Company (rom
the pen of Snell Smith, a Washington
correspondent.
This self determination process, the
author points out, applies to Ireland,
India, Korea, and the Fhillipines, as
well as Poland, and is the result of a
new law of history, of which he is the
discoverer. It is this law which gives
the United States the vitality to ac
complish its work of giving its ideal
to the peoples of the world, and it fol
lows that a transfusion of the blood
of several stocks throughout a period
of three hundred years produces an
entirely new people which, at the
maximum of strength caused by the
admixture, conquers its rivals, ex
pands into empire and does its work
in the world. The biological evidence
is adduced to prove this in that field,
and then the history of every nation
for five thousand years Is examined
critically 'to prove that the process
works with mathematical exactness.
If verified, the law is said to be as
important as that of evolution. If the
key to history, as Herbert Spencer
said, is to be found in science, "Amer
ica's Tomorrow" appears to supply it.
It is contended by the author that
every people has had its day of maxi
mum conquering strength with the
exception of the Americans. They
have bad more of the crossing of
blood than any other and therefore
they are the strongest. Each people
at zenith attempts to impose its civil
ization upon the surrounding world.
The ideal of America is republicanism
and liberty for all. Hence, in the fu
ture it will by its energy demolish
both the Japanese and British em
plres, if their dependencies have not
in the meantime become independent
The author boldly declares that uny
league of nations in the meantime is
merely a prelude to the ultimate es
tablishment, lung hence, of a federa
tion of the world, In which each peo
ple and nationality shall be free and
yet part of a world commonwealth.
For the present ho urges the cleaning
up of our front door In Mexico and
preparation in the air, on the sea and
on land for the tusk of making the
world truly republican. A peace
. which maintains monarchy or empire
anywhere, he declares, cannot last,
and adds: "Republican institutions
anywhere can never be made permnn
ently safo until all monarchial insti
tutions everywhere have been abol
ished."

Big Ditch on John Day Will
Mean Much to the Farmers
Leonard Winglleld and Joe Slmas,
well known farmers and stockmen of
Orant county who live on the John
Day river Just below Monument have
near completion, an irrigation ditch
and flume which will mean much for
the development of that immediate
section of the river bottom. The
proioct is between four and five
miles in length, according to John II
Ilellenbrock, Grant county Btockmnn
who was a Hoppner business visitor
this week. The water Is taken out
at a big dam which has been con
slructed near the Noal ranch and the
water Is carried on down the valley
through corrugated iron pipcB. Un
der tho now systom, Messrs. Slmas
and Wingfleld will be able to reclaim
a largo area of good farming land.
Mr. Bollenbrock.snys that there is
lots of hay going begging at the pres
ent time In soma sections of Grant
county, due to the fact that a large
number of stockmen have sold oft
all tholr stock. Unless an exception
ally hard winter sets in, Mr. Bellen
broek is of the opinion that the
stock will come through In fine shape.

"WENTilAliY-WHY NOT NOW?"
ARE
All:
I. SHUTT TELLS WHY
To the People of Morrow County:
For the past several months I have
been planning, and have finally de
cided to Join the great and growing
army of salaried men and women
throughout the country who are re
signing their official positions, chief
ly on account of the high cost of liv
ing. In my particular case secondary
causes have contributed toward mak
ing this decision, but the chief reason
is that the remuneration received is
not commensurate with the services
rendered nor with the responsibility
assumed.
I had hoped, like the rest, that the
end of the war would bring a reduc
tion in the prices of necessities, but
Instead they have been mounting
higher and higher. Vet most of th e
salaries received nowadays remain
Just the same as they were when llv-,
ing expenses were not much more
than one-third what they are now.
In the late shuffle of the cards the
professional men and women who
have spent a lifetime in training their
minds for skilled services to the pub
lic, are the goats, financially consid
ered, especially those drawing salar
ies. No one is particularly to blame
for this condition, but it is one that
ought to be remedied at the first op
portunity. I made a financial sacrifice to ac
cept the Sheriff's office a year ago,
but the war was on, and it looked like
the I. W. W.'s, the pro-Germans and
other home enemies to the govern
ment would give the Sheriff plenty of
that outdoor, strenuous activity that
my nature has always craved. The
armistice ended all that, and tho
Sheriff's office has reverted back to
chiefly a tax-collecting, book-keeping
confining proposition, which, though
efficient in, my nature rebels against.
Deeply grateful to the people of
Morrow county, who have given me
more political honors than was any
man's right to expect, I am going to
believe that their sense of fairness
and understanding of my case will ex
onerate me from blame in making
this move.
The most agreeable and congenial
relations have at all times existed be
tween the law-enforcing, good-roads-
building county court and myself,
likewise the able district attorney,
and all my other fellow "Inmates" in
the court house.
George McDuffee, the fearless, ex
perlenced and capable man whom the
county court has chosen to succeed
me, enjoys the confidence of the peo
ple, and I am sure will continue to
enforce the laws without fear or fa
vor.
I am embarking In tho real estate
and Insurance business, and my fiold
of operations will be in Morrow
county, with my home and office of
course at Heppner In which county
as I have always maintained, are to
be found the most prosperous, con
tented class of people, the cheapest
good land and the finest climate in
the West.
Sincerely yours,
E. M. SHUTT,
REWARD.
I will pay twenty-five dollars ($25)
reward for Information which will
lead to the arrest and conviction of
party who broke Into my garage and
took out and damaged my car on

bill introduced in the Senate by Sen

Department of Air to develop and pro
mote all matters pertaining to aero
nautics, including the collection and
dissemination of information relating
to them; shall purchase, manufacture
and maintain all aircraft for the Uni

Included in the bill is a provision

Senator New is of the view that
Great Britain, France and Japan are

Whitman College Takes
Up Americanization Worn
Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 19.
If the people of, the State of Wash-
ngton were to pass In grand review,
the nne of m arch would contain 256,-
000 individuals of foreign birth. If
natives of foreign or mixed parentage
were added to these the number
would reach nearly one-half million.
Almost every Becond individual ot
the whole population has from BO to
100 per cent foreign blood in his
veins. Of tne ZDts.uuu loreign-ouru,
70 per cent are not naturalised, and
they furnish 60 per cent of all the
illiterates in the State. The list of
foreign-born illiterates is headed by
Franklin county, with 15 per cent;
next in order come Adams, Skamania,
Walla Walla, Thurston, and Lewis
counties, with percentages ranging
from 13 percent to 9.5 percent. The
birth rate among these people is very
high and therefore it is simply a ques
tion of a few years when in a political
way they will hold the balance of
power. It is high time tnat tney De
made American citizens.
Here and there in the State people
are becoming Interested in this ques
tion of Americanization. A group of
students in Whitman College, for ex
ample, is now making a study of the
foreign elements in Walla Walla
county. Every question of social and
economic importance concerning
these people is being considered. It
is hoped by friendly contact and first
hand knowledge of these people to in
struct them In the essentials of good
citizens.

I
OF DEATH PENALTY
Lawvers Back Legion fa Effort to
Have Measure Placed on Ballot
At the Coming Election.
With unanimous vote, the Oregon
Bar Association has gone on record
as favoring the restoration ot the
death penalty in the state of Oregon.
The Clarence Johnson case, where
a man committed a cold-blooded mur
der, his second in this state, after
calm deliberation and with full
knowledge that capture held nothing
worse than life imprisonment, which
he did not fear, and the Centralla
massacre were strong factors In the
argument for the return ot the gal
lows. The attorneys of the state also ap
pointed a committee at their meeting
in Portland to cooperate la every way
possible with the American Legion in
obtaining the repeal of the anti-capi
tal punishment law. The Portland
post of the American Legion baa di
rected their legislative committee to
draw up an act to be placed on the
ballot at the next general election.
The arguments for the abolishment
of capital punishment, officially pre
sented in the 1914 election pamphlet
were:
1. Capital punishment does not
prevent crimes and does brutalize so
ciety. 2. Innocent men are hanged.
3. Severity of punishment has no
effect in preventing crime.
4. If you believe in it (hanging)
to kill another man, would you be
willing to have it in the public square
and you yourself spring the trap?
It is now pointed out, that in view
of the ever increasing list of murders
in this state, public opinion has com
pletely reversed itself and is clamor
ing for the re-establishment of the
death penalty.

Fraternal Organizations Are
Classed As Individuals
Fraternal organizations, counties,
municipalities and other political sub
divisions are classed as individuals in
a telegram from the Treasury De
partment to Governor John U. Cal
kings of the San Francisco Federal
Reserve Bank ruling that such so
cieties and corporations cannot invest
more than the limit of $1000 in War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Sav
ings Certificates. The ruling was ask
ed by Robert E. Smith, Director of
the War Loan Organization for the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District, in
response to a general demand on the
part ot fraternal organizations es
pecially for the privilege of investing
beyond the Thousand Dollar mark in
the Government War Savings Secur
ities. Assistant Secretary ot the Treas
ury Leffingwell, who sent the tele
gram, called attention, however, to
the fact that the individuals ot a
fraternal organization can each invest
the limit or have $1000 invested in
his name. Secretary Leffingwell also
pointed out that many fraternal or
ganizations are buying Liberty Bonds
and Victory Notes with excess funds.
THE BANK OF IONE
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
J. E. Cronan, for the past 16 years
president and majority stockholder
in the Bank of lone, has disposed ot
his interest in that institution to L.
A. Beckman, a banker of Hubbard,
Ore., and C. R. Gunzel, of Portland.
Messrs. Beckmau and Gunzel are
gentlemen of long experience in
bunking, are backed by an abundance
of capital and intend, we understand,
to enlarge the business and extend
the usefulness ot the lone bank to
meet all the requirements of this sec
tion of the county.
Mr. Cronan reluctantly severs his
connection with the business interests
of lone with which he has been so
long identified, but his many Inter
ests elsewhere demanded that he bo
released from some of them. Hi
long association with the lone public
has been most pleasant and he leaves
with regret, bespeaking for tho now
management a continuance of the
patronage and good feeling which has
been extended him.
Mr. Beckman. we are Informed, will
be the resident manager, and his fam
ily Is expected to arrive In lone tlm
latter part of this week to reside per
manently. lone Independent.
