w?k f:irif fortlS in plain and
ur.b.ancd manner the provision! of
th county unit y stern, having in
mind only the prfsentirp of the mat
ter thun, that othr&, like ourselves,
mipht become familiar with the plan.
It is new here, this being the first
time that tl.is unit plan for carrying
on the elementary schools of the
county has been up for consideration.
We hare not attempted to five the
public any advice; neither have we
undertaken to set out any arguments
in it fhvor. or in any way to boost it,
not yet beinp fully convinced that
Morrow county is ready to adopt the
pian,
We feel, however, that as the bill
will be on the ballot at the coming
primaries, it should be as well under
stood as possible. It is the office of
a newspaper to present such meas
ures of importance in a manner that
will at least be educational, and we
shall continue to do this, not taking
our cue from the "virile typewriter"
or the senile pen of the author of the
following, appearing in the last issue
of the lone Independent:
Heppner paper throuph dope fumih

school unit Bj-sten- He-ppnw would like
only too well to shoulder their biiR

nupwirttemlent is ht-lpinfr the deal along ;
Iwlpine to further burden our poor far
mers by shoving onto tbem their quack,

This sort of stuff is hardly worth
paying attention to and really should
not be given place in the Heppner
papers at it is not in any way worthy
of one wbo would pose as being capa
ble of presenting any subject in an
intelligent manner to his readers. If
the editor has any facts to present
against the unit system, let him come
forth with them; that is what is
wanted. If he can point out just
where the system is wrong, let him
do it. The columns of the Heppner
papers are wide open for the truth
and will be glad to furnish Mr. Hass
ler or anyone else all the space they
may require on either side of the
question and thus carry on the cam
paign of education.
Come on Fearl; you are the wise
guy; give us facts all you have
against the system but cut out the
"bunk," of which the above is only a
fair sample of what you have been
working off in recent issues of your
paper. Also, a trip or two to Hepp
ner and a talk with some of our lead
ing citizens here might convince you
that this community is not trying to
put anything over on lone, or any
other section of the county. And it
may develop that we do not desire to
have lone or any other part of the
county adopt something that would
not be equally as beneficial to them
as it would be to us. Give us the
light!

SOME THINGS BETTER THAN
"EXPEDIENCY."
THERE are some things in American
a pontics and public me more im
portant than temporary expediency.
There are things more important
even than party success, if that suc
cess involves the betrayal of justice,
even to a single individual.
This nation has been too much gov.
erned by fear in recent years. There
has been too much yielding by men
posing as leaders, to mere clamor,
regardless of the thought or motive
behind that clamor.
False issues are often raised by the
mere process of noise making. Outcry
is organized against some individual
or institution, and the pussy-footing
type of politician is ready to unload
his convictions, or bis sense of jus
tice, as excess baggage in the hope
of calming the claque.
Great men do not proceed on any
such principle. They do not throw
principles or persons to the dogs
merely because for the time being
that would appear to be the popular
thing. Ppntius Pilate, who saw no
wrong in the Redeemer, but was will
ing to turn Him over to the mob for
crucifixion merely because the crowd
howled long enough for the sacrifice
not rated as one of the world's
heroes or sages.
Honesty in politics is -the best ex
pediency. The political leader who
has never learned to weather a storm
is not a safe pilot either in clear or
rough weather.
What is needed in Amercian public
life today more than all else is not
so much more brains as more cour
age. And, after an, there is notning
the American people so much admire
as courage.
They admire a Washington, who
fought hardest when things looked
blackest; a Jackson, who told an in
quisitor that if he and his friends did
not like Old Hickory's views on the
tariff they could support some other
candidate; a Lincoln, who made a
speech he knew would defeat him for
senator because he was farseeing
enough to see that it would defeat
Douglas for President a little later;
a McKinley, who went willingly to
defeat for a principle in 1392 and im
mediately thereafter affirmed anew
his allegiance to what seemed an un
popular issue and declared that the
Republican party stands by its prin
ciples, in defeat as well as in victory.'
And so they like the calm courage
of Calvin Coolidge, who now sits un
moved by hysteria or hullaballoo in
the invincible confidence of Tightness.
Throwing officials to the wolves in
I the hope that with their appetites
gorged the pack will desist from pur
suit is not m his line.
What is there within a man, either
in public or private life, that can com
pensate him for the loss of his own
self-respect involved in asking an of
ficial to abdicate his office and take
an undeserved badge of dishonor for
the party's sake." A party capable
of demanding or accepting such a sac
rifice in the vain hope of saving it
self from criticism would not be
worth saving.
It is not safe in politics to under
estimate the intelligence or the under-
ying sense of justice of the American
people. They may for a time misun
derstand, or misjudge, but in the long
run they comprehend the facts and
render their judgments accordingly.
Whether this were true or not, it
would be better for any leader or any
party to go down fighting for what it
believes to be right and just, than to
commit wrong and injustice for the
sake of holding place and power.
It is better to be defeated than dis-

TEACHING klNUNESS TO CHIL-j
DREN. j
fllE enactment of a state law in j
Oregon that kindness to animals 1
be taught in all public schools from
KS minutes to half an hour each week
is attracting nation-wide attention. 1
F. Rivers Barnwell. Field Worker!
of the American Education Society,
enclosed statement from S. M. K.
Marra. State Superintendent of Edu
cation, Austin, Texas, to the school
children of Texas as follows:
"I take pleasure in directing your
attention to the fact that education in
its broadest sense includes the train
ing of the individuals in order that
good character may be the main re
sult. We cannot have good charac
ter unless we observe the 'Golden
Rule and the observance of the 'Gold
en Rule should be made broad enough
in its application to include animals
as well as people.
To this end I wish to endorse the
teachings of humane treatment of
animals as a means of instilling into
the minds of the children the proper
regard for the feeling of others. If
we can have the conception that the
word 'OTHERS' includes all animal
life we wilt have taken a long step ;
toward world peace, for the individual
who has this feeling and will apply
the 'Golden Rule' will not be found
advocating harsh treatment of in
dividuals. It is the function of the
schools to make this contribution to
education, and the organization of
local societies which have for their
purpose the protection of animals and
children will contribute very largely
to the uplift of social conditions."

AND THE BAND PLAYS ANNIE
LAURIE
we have a resolution in the
ited States Senate asking for
an investigation to fix responsibility
for the world war. If we only get
another set of senators to settle once
and for all time the disputed age of
Ann, we will be all set, and the rest
of the Senate may be able to devote
a little time to the nation's business.
For example, we might consider
legislation that would make impossi
ble the raking in of great fortunes
overnight as a result of stock manip
ulation coming, as it always does, on
the heels of "W ashington disclos
ures." Tom torn beating, sweet mus
ic to the financial bandit, has started
the ball of ruin rolling periodically
for years. Since the oil drums have
begun to beat great fortunes have
been made and lost Perhaps we
might find out who is getting the
money RIGHT now.
Not more than a week ago a stock
drive was made that stopped only on
the verge of a panic. The insiders
cleaned up. The next day they clean
ed up again. They pushed the mar
ket up when the little fellows with
the five to a hundred thousand dol
lars had every reason to expect it to
continue to go down. It is safe to
sav the market will now be rigged
day by day for months to come. In
the midst of ruined homes and the
crash ot nopes 01 tne uniortunaie 1
men and women lured by the glamour
of speculation into the Wall Street
maelstrom, an investigation into the
world war would surely prove en
couraging. Once let a Senate Commit
tee decide that question and every
ruined man and woman in the country
would be happy. Away with such
balderdash, you Senators. Get down
to work.
New York City has a dead line. No
known crook may travel below that
line. The blackjack man may not
invade the restricted tone until he
has learned a more skilful method of
I procedure. Perhaps we might reverse
gears and forbid the Black Horse cal
vary leaving Wall Street and prevent
them invading the rest of the city
and the rest of the country. The
great hauls come from rigging the
market on inside information. The
game is all played, however, before
the public gets any cards. When the
outsiders begin to operate the band
is playing "Home, Sweet Home" and
the little fellows are left applauding
on the sidewalks. Oil sensations past,
present, and to come, will provide
enough excuse for a thousand finan
cial raids in the next few months.
Of course, this might be scotched,
but the need of the hour is to find
out who started the world war. Let
us have the truth at alt hazards.
Then, and not tilt then, can we start
on the Boxer uprising and the Amer
ican Revolution.

DUTY ALONE HOLDS HONEST
PUBLIC SERVANTS.
EVERY great man who has tried to
serve the public has usually had
criticism and abuse hurled at him.
In commenting on the unjustified
criticism that is launched against Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon in his
effort to reduce the taxation burden
of the American people, the Colum-
bua, Ohio. State Journal says:
"Mr. Mel Ion's assailants mak out
thai be holds hi present peahion
chiefly with view to advancement of
his private fortunes. The absurdity
of that idea is that, if such were the
object of a man of Mr. Mellon's spec
ial abilities he would not be devoting
his time to public office. He could
make more money by giving his atten
tion to his own interests. We da not
believe that any consideration but
downright patriotism keeps Mr. Mel
lon in public service, the political
side of which he detests. He knows
that the work of his department has
to be done and that he has the quali
fications to do it with unusual skill
and so he stays, doubtless against
his personal inclination, and stands
misrepresentations and abuse of per
sons who have only a politician's
knowledge of the subject of finance.

There has always been great rigid
ity in laws dealing with illegitimacy.
The illigitimate child cannot inherit.
Wouldn't it be better to compel both
father and moth el" to leave all their
money to the illigitimate child? This
would protect the innocent and make
prospective wrongdoers think twice,
