FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner Oregon STRONG 1 CHARACTER Arkansas' Executive Speaking from Vantage Point of Age and Honors, Makes Plea Says Nation's Strength Must Find Its Base in the Strength of the Individual Citizen By Thomas C. McRae, Governor of Arkansas. Editor's Note : The following was written by a man who has risen to high office. It is a kindly, philo sophical bit of thinking that may give you a renewed faitr in Amerisa and one can almost picture the personal ity of the man who is an American first of all himself and who loves his country and his fellows. There is no stern presentation of facts and fig ures but in their place is a little preachment that may well be absorb ed in the rush to re-establish the nor mal. Having the privilege of selecting my subject, not being required to ad here to an assigned or arbitrary theme, I want to emphasize what I consider to be the greatest need of our American civilization character. There is a growing need for it; more and more the harmonious relations of mankind are promoted by honesty of purpose, outstanding epochs, characterized by the high development of art, litera ture, trade or war. No student of the advance of civilization can fail to recognize in the.present epoch the pronounced development of inventive genius. The wonderful mechanical agencies of utility which have come to us during the last hundred years, have glorified the activities of the world. Man has been lifted out of the slow methods and processes of the toilsome past, and his very nature is being transformed. A thou sand years from now it is not un likely that people will revert to this period and marvel at its peculiarities and its epochal wondrousness. The present time may be then styled as the Age of Invention, the Electrical Age, the Railroad Age or the Money Age. However, not being able to approximate the centuries ahead of us it is of course impossible for one to do more than guess at how the present era will impress the people of the distant future. We may pro gress so far in our inventive genius that a perspective of this time will only reveal it to have been the birth of human inventive genius. Three Score and Ten I have lived through a consider able expanse of time myself, having almost attained to my proverbial three score years and ten, and 1 have been very much impressed with the question of why the march of civili zation was unattended by very much inventive genius until the present century. Certain it is that there has been more advance during the cen- tury than during any thousand years in the world s history I do not contend that human na ture is very much changed from its characteristics of the ages past, but chanical developments of recent times have reacted heavily upon hu man conditions. There is little doubt that the morals of the people have been affected through our new-found freedom, and that we are confused in the living out of our interpretation of liberty as against license. Many of our students and philoso phers and moralizers are expressing great discouragement at what is termed the breaking down of our hu man integrity. Many of our thinkers believe that the morals of our Ameri can people are at a low ebb. Others try to be more hopeful, pointing out that with the advent of greater per sonal freedom and greater govern mental guarantees of liberty that people are only asserting their nat ural instincts, without bad intent, and they point out that there is now a broader human charity, more gentle ness of soul and greater freedom from bigotry than ever before. Need for Human Character.

There is indeed a growing need for human character. In the business world this is recognized. I spent eighteen years as a member of our United States ongress, then retired and practiced the profession of law for an equal number of years, during which latter period I supervised a banking institution, and I feel that I have some right to announce my ob servations upon human character. Very often we hear the question ask ed, ' Is the world growing better?" I am sure it is. But there are some very grave tendencies now besetting civilization. Yes, we still have honest people, and most people in our own preat country are honest and good But the greatest rewards come to those who have energy and honesty. Indeed, the three greatest requisites are energy, integrity and intelligence The greatest banker of his time has said that character is the greatest asset in the financial world. I have only recently read Roger Babson's book, The Fundamentals of Pros perity," in which he makes the very telling noint that religion is the great- lIUfttoUR. 6RANDDADDY IS id" IfVtl ( V OM,MY I WHAT HftMF I (cowing to visit y aan rl 7VP2 can that ee? y SWEET 1 f fjN 1 vfe 7 E HOME r; OH, SUCH ) WHY IT'S CRANODADOY! 1 1 I WAS COMIN6 OP THE STREET AMD !

I hold that it is very difficult to disassociate re ligion and character. Mr. Babson tells us of two men who stood near the great roaring Niagara Falls, and one of them said, There is the great est undeveloped power in the world, and his companion replied, No, the greatest undeveloped power in the world today is the human soul. Moral Let Down The moral let-down so generally deplored now is commonly attributed to the back-wash of the World War but I am not prepared to believe this. I do not believe that a person has the right" to defend war, except by way of extenuating the sin of it by point ing out that it is a necessary evil, or an unavoidable contingency in the life of the world. But America has not yet addressed herself to an unjust war, and the most thrilling and ex alting fact in the course of our be- loved nation is to be found in the justice of its variouswars. It is true that the World War revealed many ugly aspects of human nature, for we are unable to forget the profiteer, the "slacker" and political traitor. But American ideals are higher and purer now than prior to April 6, 1917. I think the aptest and saddest indict ment brought against the times in which we live is lodged against the home. The home is still a great bul- wark of society in our country and in other countries, but the insidious en croachments of untoward influences threaten the institution of the home Abe Martin, the Indiana humorist, re cently said, "One good thing about the modern home is that there ain't so much unhappiness there since ev srybuddy tears out after eatin' his Veakfas'." We all see the point. Urban life in our own American country has absorbed the major part of the population, for a majority now live in cities and towns. This is not to be deplored, except that it calls for more vision and more virtue, which only means more character. None of us should make the mistake of quarreling at mankind. We should deal with our problems, social and economic, with sympathy and under standing. The heart of man is still right. The inexorable sweep of things modern challenges every ounce of character and intelligence which our people can summon. The old fundamentals or honesty, virtue, unselfishness and thrift must be nurtured. I have the faith to be lieve that the world will soon find itself, that we will settle down into a healthy, sane, wholesome and prop er temper, when human justice will triumph, when the strength of the right will prevail and the future will be made secure. Spray forWorms Soon All those who desire to have their apples free from worms should pre pare to give them the first spray about the time that the last petals fall. They will need another spray ing about the middle of July or when ever the second generation of cod ling moth appears. Arsenate of lead spray should be used, putting two pounds of arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of water, the July spray will be still stronger. J. 0. Hager is operating the coun ty spraying outfit and those with small orchards should arrange with him to get their spraying done.

SAVE THE NAVY Congress is now trying to de stroy the army and the navy. To destroy either is a crime against common sense, patriotism, and courage. The spineless sentiment alists have preached pacifism un til Congress imagines that all causes of war have been destroy ed. How foolish. We are only in a prolonged armistice. We are just as sure of another war in our before 1930 as we are that the earth will turn on its axis tomor row. We need a strong army. The monev is not wasted. If vou want economy put the army of ineffi cient public officials in the first line trenches and you will then re lieve the country of quite a tax burden. We should save the army. How ever, if Congress destroys it we can build another one more quick- mi w m ly than we can build a strong navy. Save the navy at any cost. Send every Congressman home who votes to destroy it, and bury him in a grave of political oblivion. We should have a navy of one hundred thousand trained men and officers. This nation will never be able to reduce or destroy its navy. Water on all sides and be ing a world power make a bie navy absolutely essential to our peace, progress, and prosperity. If Congress reduces our navy and thereby destroys its world po sition you then will have an un mistakable proof that Congress is composed of cowards unfit to be members of even the Punkin Cen ter town council.
