AT THE risk of being accused of "eating sour crapes" this paper recently mentioned editor ially the fact that there might be two sides to this "trade at home" propaganda; at least so far as the local newspaper and printing plant was concerned. Our esteemed contemporary, the Wallowa Sun of Wallowa, Oregon, took up our theme and commented on it quite extensviely in its issue of the week following, using the failure of the bank at Joseph as the basis for pointing a moral. At first thought it' might not appear that there was any connection with our line of argument and that of the bank closing, yet the editor of the Sun clearly pointed out that there was. He says: " trading away from home, we are told, was one of the major contributing causes of the bank's failure to open its doors last Friday morn ing. "Now, if trading away from home can close a bank in one town, it can in another, and bank ers as well as business men and residents elsewhere, had better sit up and take notice." The Wallowa paper then goes on to state that the experience of this paper with regard to printing is no different than the experience of every other printer in every small town, and if the experience of all the printers could be gath ered together and compared, it would be found that the banks are among the worst offenders. And to this we will add that it has been our observation that the outside printer, when he hits town, ap parently for the time being takes charge of the bank, goes through their stock of printed matter, and is treated as though he were a man of great consequence. But let the local printer go in and sug gest that there might be some of this printing he would like to do, and he gets that glassy stare in many instances, which gives him the impression that he is out of his place altogether. In his last issue, Editor Ham street of the Sun makes this com ment: We listened carefully and at tentively to a well-delivered ad dress Tuesday night given at the Greater Wallowa County associa tion meeting by C. T. McDaniel, banker of Wallowa. Mr. McDaniel spoke on "Patronage of Home In dustry," and advocated vigorously and earnestly a greater co-operative spirit on the part of all resi dents to the end that home industry Bhould be more materially fostered. It is an advocacy in which we find ourselves in thorough accord with Mr. McDaniel. But permit us to Songs of Plain Folks Junes jhvis Haus cHain Rainf Oh, happy heart within me, Hear it washing through the leaves, Humming sweetly to the shingles, - Laughing down the grateful eaves, Drouth is broken, crops are rescued, John is happy now once more; On the porch he sits with Teddy And they play and watch it pour. Oh, my fingers fly more lightly As I do my little tasks, And John's eyes are shining brightly Half a chance is all he asks. He'll succeed we'll be contented As we've always planned we would In the home we'll earn together For it rains, and God is good. irru - ' (2 WwUrn sNwMpr JLmonlJ'Z BrJFrank Crane Says WE ARE BISCUIT CUTTERS THE charge is brought against America that it represents a a biscuit cutter civilization. That is, that goods which are manufactured, as well as the minds of the people generally, are in a set form. There is too much unanimity and sameness about life and not enough indi vidualism. Well, the biscuit cutter idea has something to be said in its favor. It means standardization of products. It means that parts shall be made by machinery and shall be of an inter changeable nature. Almost all the reduction in price and the enormous product of our concerns have been due to the elim ination of waste and expense by standardization. In newspaper columns it is said that in five years the in dustrial output has increased 40 per cent. One manufacturer says: "One man working steadily for 8 hours used to turn out 60 pieces an hour, or 480 a day. He got $65 a week- They we put in machines. We have 30 men on the job and we put out 14,000 pieces a day." This story has been multiplied by many. Cotton seed, once a waste product, has been used in many ways. In Wisconsin they are making paper from peat. Because of this standardization and our immensely increased products we have become the wealthiest nation in the world. We are producing not only surplus cotton and wheat, but surplus indus trial products and we have a surplus of money. We are richer than ever was a nation before. We own 20,000,000 motor cars, millions of homes and we travel and live luxuriously. Savings deposits in banks are twice as much as they were twenty years ago. We are supplying the world with capital. New York has effectively challenged the financial leadership of London. Our people now hold bonds to the extent of six billion dollars and the foreign indebtedness to the United States is now in excess of sixteen billion dollars. Mr. Welton says: 'The fact is that America is not only the richest country in the world, but richer than any country ever was before and it is destined to become still richer." The biscuit cutter civilization, reduced to its lowest terms, simply means that our people have learned to cooperate and to save waste as well as utilize the forces of nautre. make a few observations: ' Patronage of home industry car.'t be done and done successfully in a spirit of hypocrisy. In other words advocacy of home patronage must go further than the lips; there must be an example set. We can not expect others to do that which we do not do ourselves. The de cline of a once thriving and notable industry of Wallowa county was cited in Mr. McDaniel's address. We, too, regret to see any industry thrive, only to falter, fall and die. Yet, as the instance of this industry was being cited there was in our possession a sample of a simple piece of printing for which this same industry had sent away to San Francisco to a mail order print ing house. This industry, while complaining and bemoaning lack of home patronage itself was guilty of the offense of sending away for printing that it could have obtained as cheaply, expeditiously and well at home! The printing plant is a home in dustry. Do not fail to remember the fact when advocating home pat ronage. The money spent on print- ing away from home goes out of the county just as far and with no more hope of return as the money sent out for flour, vegetables, but ter and eggs. In all of this, we are not desir ous of making complaint, but it is to call attention to a principal in doing business in the community that should be carried out all around. Our business men should get the habit of patronizing home industry themselves in a more consistent manner than they do. CHAUTAUQUA is over, and we s express the feeling that it was a fine entertainment; the most of the large crowds attending felt satisfied, and as usual, the guar antors have stepped up and made till if J mm I their contribution cheerfully to the deficit in order that all bills might be paid. There should have been no deficit, yet this is what has hap pened quite unanimously follow ing chautauquas put on at Hepp ner. As to a program for next season, no definite announcement can be made at this time, as the full quota of guarantors has not been secured to the new contract. It is suggested that the program for next year be underwritten by the business community and those interested in this class of enter tainment, and as a community af fair be given free. This is done very successfully in many towns and Chautauqua time is made the occasion for bringing together the people of the county in large num bers. This is to be put up to the people of Heppner by members of the chautauqua committee ap pointed for that 'purpose on Mon day night, and we may be able to state more definitely next week just how this proposition is re ceived. EVIDENCE of a fine growing season stands out holdlv on every vacant lot and along the sidewalks in a greater portion of the city of Heppner. This luxur iant growth of grass and weeds is st developing into a serious fire menace and it is time that steps be taken to get rid of it. Other seasons a holiday has been called and a general cleanup made; why not do this again. It will take just about one day to put it over, and the danger from fire will then be out of the way. The city authorit les might make the initial move and there is no doubt but the citi zens will join in. Aside from the fire danger, the town will look so much better to have the weeds and grass cleaned from the edge of the walks and the vacant lots. Making it Easy for Nathan. Albany Democrat-Herald rpHEY are planning to remove Nathan Leopold, Jr., from Jo liet prison to an asylum. They say the fiendish murderer of little Bobbie Franks is listless and "not as alert and contented" as he was two years ago when a Chicago judge saved his worthless neck by sentencing him to life, imprison ment. And they are justifying the greatest criticism against life im prisonment for diabolical murder in that they are going to prove or try to prove, that life imprison ment sentences don t mean life imprisonment terms. The strategy in the Leopold case is removal from prison to an asy lum first and later, perhaps, a par don and final discharge- People have forgotten about the little Franks boy but they remem ber Leopold and Loeb and their hearts throb with sympathy be cause the young murderers are languishing in jail. They have forgotten the horribleness of the crime. Illinois will do well to keep Leopold, Jr., in prison. The state cannot punish him too severely, If that commonwealth starts in to I break down the effect of life im-( prisonment sentence two years af ter the sentence, it will let loose a protest against life imprison ment terms that don't imprison. A Prayer. MRS. LINDBERGH has re ceived over a thousand con gratulatory letters and telegrams with the message, "1 prayed for your son." Prayer is something that most of us do not easily talk about. The flyer's mother will never know the thousandth part of the prayers that went up to neaven mr ncr uu a safety in those long hours of flight from Newfoundland to the shores of Ireland. Millions of newspaper readers read with blurred eyes the bulle tins of Lindbergh's take-off in the morning mist, his passage over New England, Maine, Nova Sco tia, and finally the circling over St. John s, N. F., and his disap pearance into the blackness of night. Those tears were tears of pride and joy and anxiety, and each carried a prayer for protection of the lad who had vanished into the void where no human hand could longer help him. "Afore things are wrought by prayer than this world Hreams of." Our Young Eeagle is home again. Try as he will he can never un derstand or know the depth of the national pride, joy and gratitude at his safe return. - Of such stuff are heroes made. 1928. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE is now in the Black Hills of South Dakota prepared to rest, re cuperate and get himself fit for official duties which promise to be as strenuous as any pre-election year the nation has seen since Teddy split with Taft- The Sev entieth Congress will be sum moned into session during Octo ber or November or at least a month in advance of its regular convening date in December be cause the legislative calendar is already crowded with momentu ous matters virtually every one of which will no doubt be jockeyed into 1928 campaign issues. Permanent Mississippi flood re lief; seating of Vare and Smith; tax reduction; and, the fact that every member of the House and one-third of the Senate members will be up for re-election in 1928 is promising much action. In the Senate, only one vote separates the Democrats and Re publicans. If either bmith or Vare fail to be seated the Demo crats can organize the Senate in the way they want. A real party fight is in prospect over the next tax slash. With Secretary Mellon already estimating a surplus of $600,000,000 a reduction of at least $300,000,000 is expected by the taxpaying public and natural ly a struggle will be made by each party to have a bill of its own drafting enacted. Political leaders in both parties are fully aware of the fact that 1928 is not going to be any pink tea affair. Party leaders every where have at last commenced to realize tht the farmer mult have some attention else he can and will spill the beans. Maybe the President will get some rest at his western summer camp but it is doubtful. Con ference after conference will be held there this summer on major problems which even now are clamoring for attention and action. Two Sisters in a Glass House. Pendleton East Oregonian. THRE is so much good sense x in the move initiated hy oov ernor Patterson with reference to the schools of higher education that the wonder is the idea was not adopted sooner. The move if carried through in good faith should result in benefit to both schools as well as to the people and place higher education upon a better plane- The university and the college are of the same flesh and blood for they are children of the same parents, to-wit: the people of Ure gon. Their support comes from the same purse and the people have a right to expect the sister institutions to work together in a genuine spirit of cooperation and good will. The exuberant spirit of youth may find plenty of ex pression on the football field and in other legitimate places. The college and the university occupy separate fields of useful ness and there is no occasion for conflict between them. There is certainly no reason why those in either group should deal narrowly or disparagingly toward the other, Our social life calls for a division of labor and God gives us the qual- ities we possess. We must have, lawyers, farmers, engineers, doc tors, pharmacists, businessmen, foresters, milling men, teachers and people in other callings. Some people like one line of work and are fitted for it while others pre fer something else. This is a good thing because if we all tried to be just alike and do the same class of work we would all starve to death and there would be no fu neral directors to bury us. To secure proper results we need a situation under which young people seeking higher edu cation should be able to get an honest, unprejudiced line on what is to be had and what it is worth, where they are going and what is at the end of the trail. Otherwise we have mistakes that are always expensive and sometimes tragic. A man's whole career may be jeopardized if starting forth he gets into the wrong pew and the same thing applies to young wo men. It is not wise to spoil a good industrial leader or a good farm er or county agent in order to turn out a literary worker who may get nowhere fast, and the reverse is also true. Supply and demand in different fields and natural ap titude must be considered. Our schools exist to serve the young people of Oregon and any thing that interferes with that service is wrong. The state is un der no obligation to sacrifice the interests of its young people in order to help any town where a school may be located. Whether one school has a larger or a small er attendance than the other is a matter that may be left to Mother Nature. If a school is larger or smaller in numbers the fact does not indicate superiority or infer iority. Some of the strongest schools in the world limit their numbers very rigidly. The pres tige of the legal profession is not impaired by the fact there are fewer lawyers than there are men in some other calling. The practical advantages of the move proposed by Governor Pat terson and accepted by the reg ents of both schools will be ob vious. The governor has sensed the fact that two sisters living figuratively under the same roof have some obligations toward each other and towards parental peace of mind. Results in Oregon have not been bad and they have been improving but we need the best that is to be had. If this state as experts say, is the region where the white man is to reach the pin nacle of mental, moral and mater ial development then we are all living in a glass house where the world may watch us and we should be careful of the rocks we throw Aspiring yuong flappers are now said to be favoring a revival I of old songs, the favorite being Lindy, Lindy, Won t You be mine?
