ADVERTISING WATF GIVEN ON APPLICATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES: On Yr - Sti MMtte T--f MobUm &i&arto ufMs MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION AS TO rROHIBITIOX ENFORCE MENT. THE iutmtnt it o frequently heard and commonly repeated here about that the officers are doing lit tle in the wir of enforcing the prohi bition law, that some may hare ac tually formed the opinion that our officials are laying down on the job; that the booxe crowd is "putting one ever on them, and that the law is proving to be a failure. In fact there are so many and various kinds of propaganda against the ISth amend went that even some of the "very elect" art being deceived in a meas ure, and are sometimes found to be joinirg in on the chorus and helping to aing the song of the bootlegger and moonshiner, and thus adding their bit in making it just that much harder for the officers to get hold of the violators and land them where they belong Last week the efforts of the officers were frustrated in landing a bunch of moonshiners down in Juniper can yon. For a time there was a lot of lively discussion going on about town as to why they failed, and much good advice was spilled pertaining to the question of how easy it would be for the officers to land these fellows, if they only wanted to catch them." Many people can see that the law is being openly and flagrantly violated; they know it from what they have been able to observe, yet they are not ready to stand up and deliver the ac tual evidence when called upon to do so, and many is the time when such are called up to state what they ac tually know, and to produce what evi dence they possess that will be suffi cient to convict, they close up like an oyster and have nothing to say, or what they do say is worth nothing as evidence at all. We believe that on the part of a great many, this talk is more or less thoughtless, but there is no denying the fact that there is well organized propaganda that looks to making it just as hard as possible for the offi cials to enforce the prohibitory law. On the other hand, those who believe in its enforcement, and this number is in the majority, are not having so much to say that is encouraging, and it should be up to them from now on to do more talking of the kind that will encourage the officers in their efforts to make the penalties of the law more effective. That something may be known of what has been done in the county since the law went into effect January 1, 1917, we have the following figures, furnished us by District Attorney Notson. They show a lot of activity on the part of the officials in behalf of law enforcement, and they further more show that the actual expense in connection with this campaign ha3 been borne by the offenders them selves and has not come out of the pockets of the taxpayers, as all fines and costs were placed in a special fund for the enforcement of the law. From January 1, 1917 to January 1, 1923, complaints were filed in con nection with the enforcement of the dry law to the number of 106, of which 15 were for search warrants a&d 91 charging violations of the law. Six cases were tried by juries, of which one resulted in a disagreement, one in acquittal, and four in convic tion Two cases were tried by the jus tice of the peace, of which one re sulted in acquittal and the other in conviction. Five cases are pending because the defendants have not been apprehended. Five cases were dis missed because of lack of evidence. Seventy-three convictions on pleas of guilty; the seventy-eight convic tions resulting in fines and forfeit ures amounting to $8657.50, and costs aggregating over $300.00 were collect ed from defendants. More teeth have been put in the state prohibitory law, and it is get ting harder and harder each day for the offender to get by and work his illegal stuff off on those who are will ing to pay exhorbitant prices for their indulgence, but there is no gain saying the fact that conditions are improving, right in Ueppner and Mor row county, and we are willing to give the officers credit for bringing this about, though all has not been accomplished that Is desired THINK IT IT. By RICHARD LLOYD JON'FS. IT IS not by chance that automatical ly hr bruin oVr-top your eyes, ear. ne and mouth, but by desipn. that it n.ay supervise what you are to fee. hesr. smell and tnste. Think it out! Not by char.ee was your brain put bove Up sr.d arms, but by p!an. that it mipM direct ard conserve their enerpy. Think it out! Your brain- your best counsellor situ in trie "crow's nest of your craft on purpoe to oversee your course. It is equipped with the most precious power nature gave you. Make that brain yield you the full est value. A e'ear brain is the tost conserver of muscle and energy. I'se it. Cultivate the power to think clearly. As a people we evade hard thinking. Shallow surface cleverness is a too common characteristic. Our educa tional system develops the minds of our children along the lines of mem ory and absorption. Child and teach er seem equally afraid of reason. Thus as the child grows older he shows less and less inclination to tax his brain with thinking a thing out. Stuffed and crammed with informa tion in early youth he faces life with few. if any, material powers devel oped. How enthusiastically and how blindly we embark on a new idea only to cast it aside when our muscles are tired and it doesn't "work." It may have had its measure of value, else why our first enthusiasm. Think it out! Keiax your muscle clinch up your brain. A bit of adjustment that good thinking will suggest to you, a bit of cool patience oh, rarity among Americans, and you may contribute something of value to the world. Success means ability to make the best use of our powers. Success means that the man in the "crow's nest"' is awake and on guard. One of the best valued faculties commercial ly is the power to get efficient work out of men. Everywhere we hear the cry for efficiency. What scientific study we give to the elimination of waste! How we scheme to cut out unnecessary motion in even so prim itive a work as bricklaying! Com petition is so fierce that competitors bend every effort toward organization. The struggle for individual existence must mean better co-ordination in the human being itself. And education should mean organization for effi ciency of a man's native powers. The vacant look, the wandering at tention, the meaningless erratic mo tion characteristic of the imbecile or the lunatic, all mean that the watch has left the "crow's nest." Reason is off duty. Think it out! B RUCE DENNIS will back on his statement OL R POPULATION ON THE JUMP. "THE National Bureau of Economic I Research shows that on January, 1923, the population of the United States stood at 110,100.000, a gain of approximately four and a half million since the last census was taken. At the present rate of growth the popu lation in the 1930 census will pass the 120.000,000 mark. The probability is that our popula tion is even greater than officially set down. In a great many states births and deaths are not reported. Even in the area that is registered a great many births and deaths escape being recorded. It is safe to assume that the unrecorded population lies in re mote country districts. How puny seem the great cities of America when one considers that a majority of the known population plus one hundred per cent of the unre corded population lives and finds its being in the villages of 5,000 popula tion and less, and on the farms. What a sleeping giant is this wonderful country America what a market for the absorbtion of American manufac tures, a market practically untapped. The blase smile of the city cave dweller serves only to prove his pro vincialism in the light of facts. Country America feeds him and his few millions, country America forms the backbone of his nation, it makes and unmakes the government under which he lives, it is the great hearted simple strong big brother that looks upon his idosyncracies with tolerant understanding. Possibly it inspired that American term "Poor Fish." ROADS FOR PLEASURE. OREGON'S state highway system was built from funds contributed by auto owners whose paramount de sire was to use the roads in their pleasure cars. These owners of pleasure cars did not provide the funds with any intent to furnish -free right of way, free roadbed and free traveling surface to a new system of freight and passenger transportation entered into for private profit. They voted for the good roads bonds is sues, and paid in their money, to get roads and paving for their pleasure autos, not for 10-ton trucks and heavy commercial stages. What has happened? The paving built plenty heavy enough for the pleasure vehicles the autos owned by over 100,000 of the PO.oOO motor vehicle owners of Ore ton has bon pounded by the bip st.pe-i and heavy trucks. Some of the iipht paving hn gone to pieces undt-r the pourdinp. Using the mon ey taken mainly from the owners of the pleasure cars, the state has built heavier paving intended to carry the bip tuicks and big slopes. California has pone through the same experience only hundreds of miles of light cement paving pound ed to pieces under heavy traffic. Only in Ca 1 1 o rn i a the m o n e y for pa v i n g was furnished principally by owners of property itif-tead of by owners of pleasure autos. The public service commission is doing what it can in California to control the situation. Our pub.ic service commission in Or egon is doing what it can do under existing law. In both states the own- ! ers of big trucks are very m.tuial!y doing everything in their power to hold all of the privileges they have been enjoying at the expense of oth ers who have paid for the pavements. Auto owners who today are taking note of the destruction wrought by the heavy trucks are doing consid erable thinking.- Oregon Voter. - have to go that an Eastern Oregon man can't get past Troutdale in a race for an office. That may apply to political offices but there are other positions of honor of statewide importance in which East ern Oregon occasionally gains recog nition. During the past week Geo. P.

THE Geological Congress which met in Canada states that the United States is the world's chief source of coal supply, being accredited a sup ply of 3.8d 4, 000.000 .000 metric tons. Canada comes next with 1,234,000, 000,00 tons; China and Germany fol lowing in turn, with the United King dom winding up in last place with li 0.00 0.000 .000 metric tons When we come to thinking in trillions the mind grows wabbly, but when we visualize the coal bins of the folks in this country and realize the way the ptople have been either frozen or ex ploited despite this 3. SM. 000 .000 .000 tons we don't feel so delighted that America stands first in possession of the black diamonds. The relative tigures show plain as a pikestaff that something is rad ically wrong not only with our econ omic system, but with the economic system of the entire world. While Americans were suffering from bit ing cold and could not obtain fuel all j winter our railroads were busy carry I ing coal to Canada which has 1.234.- 000.000.000 tons of coal under her own soil. Coal administration failed to check extortionate prices and it com pletely collapsed in distribution that was anywhere near adequate. The result is a permanently higher level of coal cost for the consumer. With furnaces about closing and spring buds appearing coal dealers already are warning us that prices next year will be about the same as they are now. True we know or rather we are advised there will be no strike, but what does that matter where profits are involved? The dear old public must pay thru the nose just the same. Wmm Poem by fncle fohn 0 SHELTER. I KNOW you remember the child hood hour, when April called from her biuegrass dell, I know you have n't forgot the shower that gave no warnin' as it fell . . , And I'm sure you recall the childish glee that sud denly changed to keen regret when Daddy called out, to you an' me, "Come in you children out of the wet!" And we obeyed, as we knowed we must, but we whimpered a lot, as children do, we held no dread of the April gust, that pelted right down, from skies so blue. . . . For chil dren love the patterin rain, that lays the dust, an cools the sweat, You have to remind 'em time and again, afore they'll come In out of the wet! " Twas ever thus" of the human kind, when venturesome sperits dar ed the rain, our appetites has atlers been blind, till they fetched us down, on the bed of pain. ... So, I hark back to Daddy's command, which im pressed me, so's 1 cant ferget, and I can't help callin' the heedless band, "Come in you children out of the wet!" Slat's Diary has got .'hi H ERE you are reading this news paper again You haven't seen it for a week and it feels life an old friend who's just dropped into the house. Wonder why you read it! Perhaps you like the simple way it tells the news of the old home town. Perhaps you like the editorials. May be it's because you can do all your shopping through the advertisements. Or the paper may have been helpful a little informative. Anyhow, what ever it is that moves you to read, is summed up in this: it brings you either pleasure or profit perhaps both. So when you have finished read ing it why not pass it along to a friend. Scatter your roses while ou may, for what is good belong; to humanity, and eveiy kindly act rebounds. By ROSS FARQUHAR.

That is to fix definitely and finally the indemnity that Germany is to pay. That indent nity when fixed should be underwrit ten. And when underwritten it would become valuable commercial paper throughout the world. Ah nn illustration: Suppose they say that Germany shall pay twenty billion gold dollars, which would be a very reasonable amount. Germany couid pay that amount, but she should be given sixty or eighty years which to pay it Suppose we say eighty years. Then, she would have to pay $2.rO,OOO,000 a year. If you fix the note at twenty billion dollars, turn the note over and let England and America endorse it, then it becomes worth face value through out the world and would be a good in ve.it.ment for any individual or for any country.
