T7ITH the basketball season near at hand the subject of a school gymnasium, that received considerable discussion last fall, again arises. Heppner High school will be admitted to the Upper-Columbia Athletic league for participation in basketball only on condition that a suitable floor be provided at this place on which games can be played. As the sit uation now stands, no such floor is available. The fair pavilion floor formerly used for this purpose has become deteriorated to such an extent as to endanger the players if used for games, and the league directors have made it known that this floor will not be acceptable, The pavilion is not standard size, and the rafters that support the roof are so low they interfere with the playing, making this location wholly unsatisfactory. This is only one of a long list of reasons why Heppner should have a school gymnasium. Its need is felt daily. And recently it has ben rumored that the prop osition to provide necessary facil ities for gymnasium purposes will tbe put up for action of voters of the district. An estimated expen diture of $15,000 would be neces sary to provide the proper kind of building and equipment, is the be lief of those sponsoring the move. If this money were to be raised by taxation in one year, it would add but a fraction of a mill to the t tax bill. We realize that added taxation of any kind is most unwelcome now, at a time when every effort is being made to relieve the tax burden. However, many times ex tenuating circumstances arise that must be met. Many Heppner cit izens consider this one of the those circumstances, and we would sug gest that every taxpayer in the district investigate the need thor oughly so that he may vote intel ligently and justly when the mat ter is presented for approval, as it probably will be, in the near fu ture. rpHE splendid vote recorded in A the two Heppner precincts on Tuesday for Commissioner Bleak man is an evidence of the appre ciation of this community for the gooa wors ne nas aone since dc coming a member of the county court. We had hoped for this be cause it was justly due him. Mr. Bleakman has certainly proven his usefulness as a man to look after the affairs of the county, and as we stated in a previous issue, he has always been fair enough to take the entire county into consid eration when doing business for the public. Credit is largely due him for putting over our road pro gram, and in the latter years he has been right on the job to get what was coming our way from the state highway commission and other sources. We congratulate Mr. Bleakman on his splendid vote, the county over a proper expression of appreciation for work well done. As one of the 40 papers of Oregon that stood by Fred Steiwer through both the primary and gen eral election campaigns, we are naturally elated by his success on Tuesday. He faced a campaign of misrepresentation and innuen do that was about the worst ever put over in Oregon, yet through all he came out smiling and the people of his state have shown that they believe in him. We pre dict that Frederick Steiwer will make a senator that Oregon will be proud of. On the other hand we are glad to see, also, that the voters of the state are in favor of the direct primary, notwithstand ing that it was trodden under foot by many of it's so-called friends and newspaper supporters. Sen ator Stanfield, who was fairly beaten in the primaries, and then came out as an independent upon the flimsiest sort of excuse, was a poor third in Tuesday s voting, He should have followed his first hunch and abided by his promises made when the result of the pn marj' election was announcea. The desires of the people ex pressed in May are only empha sized in November. The Great Task Remains. THE new cathode ray tube in vented by Dr. W. D. Coolidge may be of boundless benefit to the world. At present it remains a scientific plaything. Before its real worth can be known, it must be adapted to use by society. Bacteria die speedily under the effects of the ray. Experiments with the new tube show it contains as many Beta ;rays as would be contained in a ton of radium. Beta rays are the most important em anating from radium, and only about a pound of radium is known to exist today. This new cathode tube may lead to a cure for cancer a cure the medical world is seeking diligently- But experiments with rabbits so far indicate the cure would be even worse than the disease. The ray is so powerful it burned a hole through the ear of a rabbit- ex posed to it for only fifty seconds It may likewise be a cure for baldness, for when the ear of a rabbit was exposed to it for one second the original gray hair fell out, to be replaced two weeks lat er by white hair growing three times as luxuriantly as the old, Yet few bald men would care to subject themselves to such treat ment until more is known of the results. The real value of the ray is not yet known. It remains for science, having given the new tube to the world, to discover some practical use for it. This, science will doubtless do. And science must not De hurried into drawing false conclusions. The same careful type of experi menting that led to a discovery of the tube will no doubt eventually lead to a discovery of its uses. The tube, at least, cannot be put to destructive uses, says its in ventor, for with the highest volt age possible the ray's range would be no more than a few yards, pre venting its use as a "death ray" in war. Widened Powers. A DISPUTE which had its be ginning in the First Congress is settled by the Supreme Court's decision giving the President the exclusive right to remove execu tive officers. The case came before the Su preme court when an Oregon post master removed by President Wil son sued for back pay. By its decision the Supreme Court renders invalid the law of 1876 denying the' President the unrestricted power of removal of first, second and third class Post masters. The law of 1876 provided that "Postmasters of the first, second and third classes shall be appoint ed and may be removed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." It was passed, as the majority opin ion points out, during a "heated political difference between the then President and the majority leaders of Congress over the re construction measures adopted as a means of restoring to their prop er status the States which with drew from the Union at the time of the Civil War." This decision greatly widens the powers of the President. Whether it will render more inse cure the tenure of efficient post masters who happen to be of dif ferent political faith from the ad ministration is something time must show. It would be sad for the country if it should revert to the days of "turning the rascals out." But probably no administration would care to go that far. The long struggle for Civil Service reform remains as an object lesson. THE election is over, but Cal vin Coolidge still stands. That is the one positive and deter mined fact which the election re turns have made clear. In various parts of the country, Republican party leaders had their ups and downs, but it is agreed by all that the hold which the President has on the people remains unchal lenged. In explanation is can be said that this has resulted largely from that fact that while the elec tion was for national officers it was fought throughout the coun try on local issues. The political wise owls from now on will, of course, attempt to see signs and read omens with regard to Coolidge in '28. It can be said now that what is to hap pen in '28 is of the very slightest possible interest or concern to President Coolidge. His gospel of doing the work of the day is one which he practices as well as preaches, and for that reason he is not wasting either time or energy Over prospects or possibilities. It BcTrank Crane Says I DON'T KNOW THE three words in any language hardest for the average person to say are: , "I don't know." , If you doubt this observe the distinguished foreign visitors who arrive to investigate our fair land. At the pier they are interviewed. They answer questions on religion, politics, art, morals, mu sic, history, literature, biology, philosophy, clothes and the younger generation without batting an eye. They proclaim with the gravity of a Delphic Oracle undis turbed in the slightest by the evident fact that they don't know what they are talking about. The late Joseph Conrad, the writer of sea stories, is the one refreshing exception in recent memory. When plied with ques tions requiring an omnicient mind to answer, he simply stated: "I am a novelist and of course lay no claim to authority on such subjects." Consider also the octogenarians, septuagenarians and cen tenarians who fill the papers with absurd secrets for long life. One old woman says smoking a corncob pipe did it; another says scrubbing floors was responsible. One man says riding a horse gave him his longevity; another never getting more than a few hours' sleep. After a while the truth begins to dawn that they know no more about it than anyone else, but they can't admit it. The old negro who said the secret of his long life was "Be cause I was born so far back," gave as valuable, and a much more honest answer than most old people who divulge the se cret of their longevity. Also consider the distinguished fellow citizen, the specialists who have become famous in a single line, the inventors, auto mobile manufacturers millionaires and novelists who give orac ular and worthless opinions on education, history or religion, whether they have ever given them any study or not. Why is it that so few people are able to admit the self-evident fact that they don't know. Having time to think it over I am able to admit that I don't know. But, if some day a reporter pulls out a pencil and interviews me suddenly on the subject undoubtedly I will be able to give a number of plausible, fine-sounding answers. can, however, again be said that even the wisest of forecasters is in danger of running amuck if he attempts to forecast adversely on Coolidge by reason of any of the recent election happenings.
