REPUBLICANS SOLEMN
AFTER GREAT VICTORY
i.Md t l.lmlt.
Vy SNKl.L SMITH
WanhiriKton. Nov. 14 With & major
ity of 151 in the House ar.i 22 in th?
Senate, th Republican ;arty has re
turned to power with a solemn sense of
responsibility after ten years of lemo
crattc controL
Th fact that the House majority Is
larger than ever given any party in the
history of the country and that the Sen
ate majority is sufficient to make sure
of the passape of all party measures,
does not cause elation anions the lead
ers in either branch of Oor.press so
much a determination to do away with
the evils in administration which caus
ed the landslide in Their favor.
It is only within the facts to say that
no party ever came to power with such
a serious sense of responsibility as the
Republican party at this time. In inter
views with those who are to wield that
power one is impressed at once witi
this feeling that the party must do
great thinps to make pood and that it
will do them. The Republican party Is
the party of constructive effort. It lost
Congress in 1910 on the Democratic
promise to reduce the cost of living,
lost the presidency in 1?12 by a split,
and in 191 by a promise to keep us out
of war. It returns to take up the bur
den where it laid it down, having in the
meantime during the war outvied the
Democrats In patriotic submersion of
partisanship. It is united as it has
never been.
Th Democratic party, on the other
hand is literally shot to pieces, tie
cause of the nature of the campaign he
waged. Cox is generally discredited, so
far as th National Capital is concern
ed. Beaten worse than Alton B. Parker,
in 1904, he cannot hope to again lead
th Democratic hosts. Because the Wil
son administration was so utterly re
pudiated, it is unlikely that William G.
McAdoo, the President's son-in-law. can
take up its guidance. Already three
times beaten, William Jennings Bryan j
would be glad to take the reins again; j
but the South will not again accept him. J
Governor Smith, of New York, though j
he made a great race in his defeat, is
too closely allied with Tammany to j
make any widespread appeal to the ;
country. Champ Clark has gone down
In the general landslide. Claude Kit
chin, who will now asume the leader
ship of the House, hails from N'orth j
Carolimvand is out of the running for !
national leadership. Senator Oscar L'n-1
derwood of Alabama, will for the time j
at least come nearer to being the lead- j
er of his party than any other man be- !
cause of his titular leadership of the j
Democratic majority in the Senate; but
he and Bryan are bitter enemies, he is
too far South to be potent and he does
not appeal to the progressives. Many
see In William R. Hearst an aspirant
for Democratic honors again, but his
attitude toward war questions would
probably prevent that
Furthermore, the Democrats are
without any great issue to stand upon
after defeat, such as enthused them
after the defeat of Cleveland in 18S3.
Both the ill health and the unpopularity
of President Wilson would prevent his
return. The league of nations is dead,
buried beyond the slightest chance of
resurrection. Under the Republican ad
ministration the government will be
conducted for America, contenting it
self with fomenting the most friendly
relations with all, while protecting it
self from the possible aggressions of
any of them in the future. It will not
assume that the millenium is at hand
and hence propose immediate disarm
ament It wilt have the greatest Navy
In the world and an army sufficient for
development to meet any emergency.
In this the Democrats have no issue.
They will resume the place formerly
held by them during the Roosevelt ad
ministration as a mere party of negation.

They Grow Big Turnips In 1
Morrow County Gardens
Aided Northwest Farmers
To Increase Alfalfa Crops
Superiority tf Morrow county grown
e;e tables has never been questioned
when quality was the issue. And If
there is any skeptical one hereabouts
who may think that garden sass does
not grow in some quantity as well we
would ask that they take a peep at that
bit; purple top turnip on display in the
winuow ot the Sam Hughes Company
grocery stoie. Its the biggest one tur
nip we ever saw, and plenty big enough
it is for all practical purposes. This
eno'tnous vegetable of the mustard
family was grown by Charles Osten on
his farm south of this city. We under
stand that the turnip received no spec
ial encouragement from Mr. Osten. but
U just sort of trv- up as it were. Mr.
Often raises all kinds of garden stuJT
on his ranch, not the least of which are
strawberries. And the ranch is right
near the timber line.
Mrs. M. Belle Thompson visited for
day at the home of her son Ralph I.
Thompson on Willow creek, and return
ed to her home in Portland Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Thompson is just re
turning from a trip of two months du
ration visiting with relatives in the
East and stopped over In Heppner on
her way home.
Farmers in Oregon and Washington
have greatly Increased their alfalfa
crops by the application of sulphur.
This practice is based upon the results
of investigations by th experiment
stations in these States as well as of
demonstrations of the use of sulphur
on alfalfa conducted by the county ag- 1
ricultural agents in cooperation with
specialists from the agricultural col- j
lege. In Deschutes County last year
?5 tons of sulphur were used, at a to-.
tal cost of a little more than fl4,0M.
and the increased yield, reckoned at $20
a ton, was f ISO. 000. In Jackson County
277 tons, costing about $13,000, are es-,
timated to have increased the yield
$110,000. In Klamath County 93 tons, i
costing $5,400, gave an estimated in-!
crease of $40,000. reckoning alfalfa at '
$15 a ton. Demonstrations In Jose
phine, Wallowa and Wasco Counties j
give a similar ratio of results. The first j
experiments in sulphur fertilization in ;
these States were made in 1912. Rapid
development of the Innovation was
made possible through the system of ;
county agents and key men who were
practical farmers. ;

Red Cross Co-Operates With
Other Good Relief Activities
The closest degree of co-operation, to
th mutual advantage of all organiza
tions and to the great benefit of the
work Involved, is maintained by the
Red Cross nursing service, the Anti
Tuberculosis Association, and the state
nursing bureaus of Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
In Washington, a working agreement
with the Anti-Tuberculosis Association
has existed since November, 1913,
whereby the Red Cross has assisted In
financing the state supervising nurse,
Mrs. Elizabeth Soule. In September a
state bureau of nursing was created by
the commissioner of health and Mrs.
Boule was chosen as director of this
bureau.
In Idaho the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso
ciation and the Red Cross are anxious
to formulate a working plan whereby a
supervising nurse can be Jointly financ
ed. A very capable public health nurse
Is now under consideration.
Since December, 1919, the Anti-Tuberculosis
Association of Oregon and
the Red Cross have maintained a splen .
did working plan whereby the Red
Cross assists In financing the state su
pervising nurse who Is also director of
the bureau of nursing under the state
board of health. This office supervises
the work of the Red Cross nurses In
her state as well as those employed un
der the Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
-Better to Build Up Cheap
Roads By Constant Care
It is better to build a cheap road and
keep It In good condition by adequate
maintenance than to build the most ex
pensive highway and permit It to dete
riorate for want of care, say officials of
the Bureau of Public Roads of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Maryland, which has one of the finest
systems of improved highways In the
United States, If not the best, has con
sistently followed this practice. The
originally Improved roads In Maryland
were comparatively Inexpensive costing
only what the taxpayers were willing
to pay for. The first few years the av
erage eost was less ttyin 110,000 a mile.
In some cases the work entailed con
siderable grading and drainage, but In
others It amounted simply to resurfac
ing the old turnpikes, which had al
ready been graded and drained.
Generally the roads built at that time
war macadam, 12 feet wide and ?
Inches thick. Soon the width was In
creased to 14 feet Later many were
widened still farther, some very suc
cessfully, by adding concrete shoulders
on each side of the existing macadam
