THE AMERICAN TRESS ASSOCIATION
HKITNKR'S hf ritApf was pretty
thoroughly dUcurd at the Bro
tl.pthoo Trotting on Monday evening
nrd when one stops to think of it,
our heriuitrc has been very much les
scTifd jn the Utter years, and our
borders frrriitiy circumscribed. The
editor of thi . paper came to Hrppner
34 years uga and at that time, as a
part of the beritape of the city was
the trade territory reaching far to
the interior country to the south, a
distance of IrtO miles or more. The
branch line of the railroad had been
completed to Heppner the winter of
ls8K. and the spring of 89 there be
gan to open up to the little city that
wonderful trade that she continued
to eiiy for a long number of years.
but which has now supped away, much
to the disadvantage of the mercantile
interest here.
That our people are much con
cerned about this condition as it ex
ists at present, was manifested in the
meeting Monday night, yet there were
no iteps tsken toward a remedy. The
Brotherhood does not exitt for the
purpose of pushing those things that
rightfully belong to the activities of
a good commercial organization, yet
out of the discussion had there should
come a move for the revival of the
commercial club and putting it
shape to function once more. A good
organization of this kind was never
more needed to assist in the work of
restoring to Heppner her rightful
heritage.
We can never expect to restore to
the town that extensive trade terri
tory once enjoyed, for a very great
portion of this has been taken over
and absorbed by other points because
of the reaching out of branch lines of
railroad and the construction of high
ways. Yet there is a large develop
ment of the splendid resources of this
county in various lines that must be
encouraged in these days of recon
struction, and there is also left to us
some good trade territory that can be
reached by the completion of some of
the highways under construction. The
Kfppcer-Spray road is one of these,
and the sooner we get busy and help
to put this over, the sooner we will
be bringing back to Heppner a lot of
trade that is now going elsewhere.
Thip is an important heritage of the
city but it will not come by sitting
tight and doing nothing.
TEST YOVR EDUCATION.
By RICHARD LLOYD JONES.
THE bet college is not measured
by endowment. It is measured by
the men and women it turns out. The
test of culture is the ability to serve,
the power of giving, not getting; of
helping, not hindering.
The college will ofttimes pass a
man the world will quickly flunk.
Many men have been honored in col
lege who have been dishonored by so
ciety because with all their high grad
ings in classes they have not learned
how to inarch with the masses.
The college is a starter but it nev
er completes the job. Your educa
tion does not end when you pick up
your diploma. That is when it just
begins. That is why graduation day
in Commencement Day.
Many of the best educated people
got their education without the help
of college cour-ea. Test yourself. If
you can honesty answer 'yes" to all
the questions that follow you are in
deed educated, even though you never
heard of Xencphon's Anabasis, and
never owned a parchment encased in
a tin tube.
Has education given you sympathy
with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Have you learned to make friends
and keep them ?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the
street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the ireaner drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn as compatible with high
. thinking as dancing or golf?
Ar you good for anything to your-
Can you be haapy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
anything except dollar and cents?
Can you be a brother to your neigh
bor? Have you a better ambition than
mere y "to make your pile"?
Have you formed the habit of hop
ing that you may help other and
thereby leave this world ft little bet
ter than you found it?
Do you put patriotism into your
politics?
Do you support a public official af
ter election with the same enthusiasm
you how before election and thereby
help him to fulfill his pre-election
promises?
Can you read the history that is
written in the rocks that boldly shoul
der the broad current and bend the
river in its course?
Does the mountain lift you nearer
heaven and the sea lead you in silent
prayer?
Can vou took into a mud puddle
by the wayside and see a clear sky?
Can yon see anything in the puddle
but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see bt vond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship
with the Creator?
How many college A. B.'g can hon
estlv say "yes" to these 22 questions?
If vou cannot, is it not time to ask
yourself which has failed, you or your
coliege? There are many who could
pass this examination who cannot
boast of an academic degree.
To help you conceive the purpose
of life and to pursue that purpose is
the mission of every school and col
lege. They are to equip you with the
tools, iou are to use the tools.
Are vou educated? Study these
questions, answer them honestly, and
you yourself will know.
THE FARMER MUST HAVE JUSTICE
llfHILE labor as a unit is studiously
' keeping away from politics, con
ditions are driving the farmer into
politics because the farmer sees no
other way of accomplishing anything
like even justice.
Business generally has started off
with a healthy boom. From all parts
of the country come reports of in
creased activity. Buying has again
assumed a healthy trend. The iron
and steel industry reports a hopeful
outlook, automobile manufacturers
expect a big year; shippers have been
benefitted by the cut in freight rates,
gold is piling up, and if the nation
keeps free of foreign entanglements
the road to prosperity seems wide op
en to all.
The farmer, however, lags behind,
despite the fact that he is the whole
scle producer of food and clothing.
Farming and transportation rest as
the final foundation of trade.
It will be regrettable if the selfish
ness of the money power declines to
recognize this fact and compels the
farmer to lrne up in Congress to
create a machinery in the interest of
agriculture regardless of its effect on
the industrial world.
The money power of the East has
frowned on the Farm bloc, but it may
be forced to look upon these legisla
tors as the leavening influence that
will lead the country into the prom
ised land. Indeed it is to the vision
of Farm bloc members that the coun
try owes many a vote of thanks. The
farmer must get justice without be
ing forced to organize for agriculture
ONLY. Let the bankers wake up.
-REPARATIONS" FROM A LABOR
UNION.
Tbe Manufacturer.
IS 1921 a coal mine in Fayette coun
ty, West Virginia, was put out of
business by the United Mine Work
ers of America. Several members of
the union went to the penitentiary for
complicity in the outrages that ruin
ed this mine, just as 30 others were
sentenced to serve three years for
complicity in the Cliftonville riots.
The other day a Charleston dis
patch stated that the United Mine
Workers had agreed to pay $400,000
in settlement of the damage suit
brought by the mine owners for "rep
arations" for the ruin wrought by or
ganized labor.
That settlement is an event of the
first importance in the long story of
the determined efforts of the union
ized miners to subject the non-union
mines of West Virginia to their auto
cratic control.
It means that labor found itself
without a defense that would stand
in a court, that the United Mine
Workers as ft union have to pay a
large sum to make good at least in
part the loss they inflicted upon a
mine owner.
The mine was ft leased property of
3000 acres. From 1913 to 1919 it op
erated under open shop contracts with
the United Mine Workers.
But the management refused to em
ploy its office force to do the book
keeping and pay over the funds for
the union to use in the prosecution
of its plans. The onion insisted on a
closed shop contract and called a
strike. No other , issue of any kind
was involved.
The plant had never used any mine
guards, never had hired any of the
men against whom union orators have
charged many atrocities.
There followed disorder, depreda
tion, terrorism, increasing in inten
sity until at last all the employees
were run off the property and the
plant was destroyed.
"Beating men up" began in Janu
ary. 1920. Dynamiting of houses
started in April. Shooting at men
and their homes commenced at the
end of June. "Shooting up the camp"
opened in August "camp shot up for
about two hours:" "tipple, store and
office buildings shot up;" "about 2000
shots;" "camp shot up from nearly
every surrounding hill;" "superin
tendent' house tired on one hour."
Men were shot at deliberately by
good m a rk sme n ; se ve ra 1 times they
ed by inches;" in November
they "got" one man; in February they
hit another man in the back.
Several times they concentrated
their fire on a boarding house full of
men and with some women also in
side. Telephone wires were cut to
prevent calls for help.
At last, on Feb. 15, 1921, the power
station was dynamited. That put the
plant out of business. Next day all
employes were paid off and dismissed.
Three days later some women and
children, the last to leave, were fired
upon and the house that had shelter
ed them was destroyed.
For 14 months the management un
der seige conditions had maintained
the right to operate their own mine
in their own way. When their proper
ty lay in ruins about them they cap
itulated. Now the treasury of the United
Mine Workers must pay $400,000 for
that victory." The facts here nar
rated ought to be understood by the
great American public that believes in
fair play.
TAX FREE SECURITIES AND THE
FARMERS.
Tax free securities are a better in
vestment than first mortgage loans
on farms. They force the farmers to
pay higher rates of interest.
According to the hearings before
the Congressional Ways and Means
Committee, there are about $8,000,
000.000 of farm mortgages out in the
United States. According to th
hearings only about 5 per cent of that
amount was obtained through Gov
ernment agency or the rural credit
land banks.
Those who are sincerely solicitous
for the farmer think well of this 95
per cent of the loans outstanding,
owed by the farmers, is money be
longing to private individuals. Five
per cent tax-free securities will net
the investor more than a 7 or 8 per
cent farm mortgage. W hat is the re
suit?
The farmers are finding it difficult
to borrow money, and when their
loans mature and they are maturing
all the time if they cannot finance
a renewal, it means sales of homes
and farms on the sheriff's block.
A witness testified before the Sen
ate committee that a few years ago
there was a gentlemen that had $7
000,000 invested in farm mortgages.
Now he has 95 per cent of that $7
000,000 withdrawn from the farm
mortgages and has invested it in tax-
free securities.
A farm loan firm that for years has
done an extensive business in first
mortgages on land reports that a few
days ago the estate of Marshall Field
ceased buying any more farm mort
gages. The trustees of the estate
said, "No, we will not take any more
mortgages; we are collecting those
we own as fast as we can and invest
ing the money in tax-free securities,
because it nets us more."

HARE-HOPS SHOOTING.
WHEN the skift o' snow comes, sift
in through the dogwoods in the
dell and the chores is goin' ft-beg-gin
on the farm there' a world of
nsperation in a pocketful of shells.
th "Old Betsey" in the holler of

glade, where the average mortal sel
dom interferes but he'll change his
fool opinion after my re specks is

healthy livin as a question fer de-
sweetest charm, the solidest foun
bate, or the pastime that affords the
dation fer a superanuate, ia the joy
of shootin' hare-hops on the farm!
There's nothin' else can beat it fer
producin' appetite, and addin prime

AUTO CASTER.
AGED MINISTERS.
THE different evangelical denomin
ations -are commiting a crime
against their aged and infirm minis
ters. It is their duty to make ade
quate provision for their sustenance
comfort and happiness. They should
not permit the infirm minister, the
minister s widow, nor the dependent
orphans of deceased ministers and
ministers widows to suffer.
No class of men gives so unselfish
ly, untiringly, and heroically of their
time, talent and substance as do min
isters. They are an educated class,
spending practically twenty-one years
in fitting themselves for the greatest
place on earth and for the greatest
service ever rendered to mankind.
They are not permitted to enter busi
ness nor to accumulate the properties
of the world. Therefore, it is the
God-decreed duty of the church to
take car of him when he Is old.
The different denominations, like
Methodists, Baptists, and other de
nominations, stand convicted before
the Bar of Conscience and public
disapproval for the inadequate way
they are providing for their aged min
isters. The laymen of the country
should awake to this situation and
create an endowment fund out of
which these heroes of civilization
could be made comfortable in their
declining years.

IF HAPPINESS is the aim of human
beings why not dope out what
brings it into our lives, and having
found out turn ourselves into a bunch
of go-getters.
We might as well work for the
thing worth while since we have to
work anyway.
Perhaps the greatest measure of
happiness comes from personal
achievement.
We're all stuck on ourselves.
Very well then, let us achieve.
Can't be done, says you? Nonsense.
There is always something a man can
do perfectly. If he can't play the
harp he can tackle the fi vest ring ban
jo, but let him learn to play the in

say he is handing out jazz and trying
to palm it off as Beethoven.
CARD OK THANKS.
We wish to sincerely thank all
those who so kindly and generously
