ALMOST every day we read in the new report? of children burned to death in dwelling house fires. Not only one child but three, four and five are burred at a time in a single house. It seems almost impossible that puch accidents can occur, but the &d fact remains that they do, and in most eaes they would have been preventable through ;ust ordinary carefulness. The National Board of Fire Under writers in conjunction with the Na tional Board of Education has pre pared a booklet entitled Safeguarding the Home Against Fire. This is a fire prevention manual for the school children of America. Eight hundred and thirty thousand copies of this textbook have thus far been printed and distributed. In picture and text it places before a growing child the dangers that surround on every side as a resuit of carelessness with fire. This book should be in the hands of every ichooi child in America, and should form the basis of a regular school course from the third to the eigr.th grades at least in the public schools. The mere fact that the annual per capita fire loss in the United States for every man, woman and child is $2.10 compared with 49c in France, 3:ic in Eng. and, 2sc in Germany, 25c in Italy and Austria, 15c in Switzer land and lie in Holland is sufficient evidence that the teaching of fire pre vention shomd start with the child and become a recogr.Ued course of study in this nation, s-s-s THE main attraction in Heppner these days is, the big new swim ming tank. It is proving a source of much p.ea?ure and comfort to local peop.e during the hot, dry season. In con.-equt-r.ee of its popularity it is paying well, and the end of its first season should find it practically clear of debt. Now, people are wondering why they went so lor.g without this source of ciean, healthful, and invig orating amusement, tince they have seen huw easily it could be done. s-s-s HOW ABOUT YOU? XiniEN Abraham Lincoln was a your.g man he ran for the legis lature of Illinois and was badly swamped. He next entered business fas.ed acd spent 17 years of his life paying up the debts of a worth less par.r.er. He was in love with a beautiful woman to whom he became engaged and then pb died. Entering politics again he ran for Congress and was bau.y defeated. He then tried for an appointment in the United States Lard Office, but failed. After this he became a candidate for the United States Senate and was de feated. In 1856 he became a candidate for the vice-presidency, but lost the race. In ltr8 he was once more defeated, this t:me by Douglas. In tne face cf ail this, he eventual ly became or.e of tre country's great est men, if not TrfE greatest.

The railroad employees propose to accomplsih this for both by having the farmers join with them in sup port of radical candidates for office. But how may this be done? Wages paid railraod employees are obtained by the railroads by hauling freight, passengers, mail and express and charging for such service. Railroad earnings are such that any substantial increase in wages of rail road employees would necessitate an increase in rates. On the other hand, any substantial reduction in rates would necessitate a reduction in the wages of railroad employees. How, then, is it possible for both to accomplish the desired end? It is not self-evident that one faction or the other must loose ont? Is it not also self-evident that with railroad labor organized and farmers unorganized, the big organized vote would take the turkey and the farmer the crow? But the radical politician and the labor leaders want more they want government ownership of the rail roads. They want this in face of the fact that during federal control, with freight and passenger rates the high est ever known, the railroads were op erated at a loss running high in the millions. But the organized railroad vote is about 2,300,000. That is a lot of votes and votes are what the politician is looking for. What politician would run the risk of loosing them by op posing wage increases that might even necessitate an increase in rates, with knowledge that those who pay the rates are unorganized and there fore helpless? Manifestly there is no bond of mu tual interest between the farmr and the railroader, t'j? as to rates and wae- what would go d for one would be bad for the other. The farmer has had some exper ience with increased cost of farm la bor. He knows what high wages and short work-days mean and they mean no less on the railroad than on the farm, for compared with the farm, work-days on the railroad are short er and wages five times higher. The Manufacturer. S-S-S BULLET EXTRACTS TOOTH John Spencer lost a tooth Sunday when a bullet from a 22 rifle glanced off a rock and struck him in the face. The bullet penetrated his lip and stopped after knocking out a big tooth. R. B. Stan fie Id was shooting rabbits when the accident occurred, and although well out of line with Spencer the bullet was deflected by a sloping rock and hit the latter. Spen cer suffered no serious results and Stan fie 3d was more upset by the acci dent than the injured man. Echo News. Taking Up of Etrafd Anlmala.

This point grasped let it be remembered that the blocs" in several delegations hold the balance of power. Tim the La Follette-Wheeler candidacy be comes something to be reckoned with. Anyone familiar with the line up in the House last year can see how likely it is that neither Davis nor Coolidge would be able to obtain a majority vote in the House in Febru ary. A deadlock is quite on the cards a repetition of the Democratic Na tional Convention, perhaps, until March 4, 1925. At that time the new House comes into being, but THE NEW HOUSE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHOICE OF A PRESI DENT. In the event of a deadlock until the disintegration of the present House the duty would pass to the Senate, and here it must be remembered that THE SENATE VOTES ONLY FOR THE VICE-PRESIDENT AND NOT FOR THE PRESIDENT. If the coun try stands without a President, then that office, being vacant, must be filled by the man chosen as Vice President by the Senate. At this point we read another elim ination. The Senate is limited to vote for the two highest candidates. So the likelihood is the choice would lie between General Dawes and Governor Eiyan. Different In Senate. Now we come to the Senate vote. The Senate does not vote by states like the House. The Senators vote as individuals, and a majority vote decides. The Senate membership be ing 96, 49 votes would elect a Vice President, who would immediately succeed to the Presidency, just as Coolidge succeeded Harding as soon as the vacancy occurred. In the present Senate there are 13 Democrats, 51 Republicans and 2 Far mer Laborites. These figures would appear to ensure the election of Dawes, providing there is no change in the character of the Senate as a result of the November elections, and providing always that La Follette would not switch a number of Repub lican Senators from the Coolidge Dawes ticket and procure votes for Bryan. The margin is narrow, and La Follette might easily be the de ciding factor. One need only to go back to 1916 to see how delicate is the present situa tion. In that year the electoral col lege stood 277 for Wilson and 254 for Hughes. A third party candidate controlling, for example, the 13 elec toral votes of California, would have Presidential Nominee On Dry Ticket H. P. Farls, of Clinton, Mo., is the Presidential nominee named by the Prohibition Party Convention at Columbus, 0. He is an anient dry worker and aeveral times beer nominated for Governor of Missour by hit State Prohibition Party. Central Phone 653- We solicit your harvest trade with low priced and high quality meats. YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD thrown the election into the House. How many electoral votes La Follette will control as a result of the coming election is something for political writers to figure on. It may be some thing for the two dominant parties to consider seriously. La Follette supporters are claiming he will carry between eight and six teen states. If be carries only Wis consin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, such re suit would likely prevent either Cool idge or Davis from winning the nec essary majority of 266 votes to elect the President. Even the electoral vote of any one state might prevent a majority.
