MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Be Civilized. ARE you civilized? Be care ful now before answering, be cause there is a gauge by which you can judge yourself and you may be surprised at the findings. Answer accurately "How toler ant are you?" and you will know to what degree you are cviilized. It has been aptly put by one writer that: "The measure of your tolerance is your distance from the jungle." Schooling and manners have nothing whatsoever to do with tolerance. These are only veneer. Many people never develop a sufficient degree of tol erance to qualify as civilized peo ple. It is these who cause most of the trouble in the world. They crucify, they whip at the stake, they raid, they burn, they do not reason. Hate and brutality are their answers to logic. "How may I know whether I am tolerant or not?" you may ask. Here are a few characteristics: When a man says he will not argue, he usually means he will not listen. He has opinions and he delights to make them vocal. But when he has told his side of the story, nothing remains to be said. He construes any discussion of the matter as an effort on your part to "argue." He begins with the assumption that any opinion that fails to agree with his is silly. The world is full of such people. Good listeners are rare. People who will listen to the other side are rarer still. As a fact, too many of us are more or less ignorant, narrow-minded and intolerant. Young people, especially those with good minds, are intolerant of other opinions. Old people who have good minds usually have been mellowed and made tolerant with the passing years. Be a good listener. Cultivate the open mind Be civilized Our Country, Wonderful. THIS is a young country Two birthdays were celebrated the 4th of July, Uncle Sams' and President Coolidge's. Uncle Sam was 151 years old and President Coolidge fifty-five. It is difficult to realize that as young a man as President Coo lidge has lived more than one third the life of the United States. What marvels our country has ac complished in so few years. Mil lions realize it as they travel about their pleasures each day. Cities spread out for miles into beautiful suburbs everywhere.

Q WttUrn Ntwipuper Union, Wll r. nth r m vj"n. l ; t .v i iu ,ui wi BtFrank Crane Says RESULTS ARE D ISCUSSION has been going George Bernard Shaw's remark that a woman ought to be a mother in order to be a good teacher. This remark was made opposing the tendencies in many places to have only unmarried teachers. Many educators have expressed themselves upon one side or the other of this question. After all it is merely a point of view. One side looks at the question as to whether a woman can do a good job of teaching or not. The other side looks at the question as to whether the woman ought to have the place or not with the salary attached. In many places of business a job is looked upon as a sort of special privilege and certain classes are favored is giving jobs out ,sueh as wrold war veterans, old people, young people, un married people and so on. If a man can do the business, or a woman either, what dif ference does it make whether he or she is married or not or young or old? What most people want in business is results. What attains them or how they are attained is a matter of indifference so long as it is done honestly. I remember once that a presiding elder in the Methodist church gave as his reason for sending a man to a certain place the following: "If I send that man it will kill the place and if I don't 'send him it will kill him, so between the two I will send him and save the man." This is a good example of care for the individual ranking above care for his work. Every man must be judged by the kind of work he does and not by whether he is deserving of the job or not. The other side of civil service is to select men competent for the position, and not to give the positions out to certain groups of men. In considering an applicant for the job, common sense tells us to consider his ability to perform the duties of Jhat business and not his ability in some other direction. A president of the United States or the mayor of a city should be selected because he is capable of performing the duties of his office and whether he was a good handshaker and oaby kisser or not has nothing to do with the case, in reality, although in politics it has much to do with it. mobiles traveling excellent roads enough cars to carry our 120, 000,000 people all at one time. And, above all, the public schools, magnificent buildings, high schools and the preparatory schools everywhere. And those school buildings, for all the chil dren, are the finest buildings in thousands of communities. This nation has much to be thankful for, with free schools so promin ent, and prisons so few. It was the other way round once, all over the world. Obeying the Law. WE HEAR a great deal about the enactment of too many laws and it is true that the coun try seems to be engulfed biennial ly in a veritable flood of new leg islation. One result is, so we are told, that law enforcement is made very difficult. This is duobt less true, but the very fact that it is true, makes it more the duty of every good citizen to see that he obeys the law himself. One good way to prevent the enactment of more unnecessary and foolish laws is to enforce all laws which are on the statute books, and so bring about a reaction against the ten dency to make too many new laws. Many of our leading jurists are warning us that the flouting of the laws of the country is now becom ing a national peril. Touching up- on this point, Attorney General Sargent recently said in an ad- dress before the Pennsylvania d- James fewis Haus mmm : i. 11 M (f UK I I' I T I WHAT COUNT on recently in the press about Bar Association: "When intelligent, educated men hold up to ridicule the rules for its conduct which society makes and devote their intelli gence, wit and resources to make crime and criminals attractive, it is to be expected that the thought less, the ignorant, the vicious, will try and get rid of the oppressor of the criminal, in any way, by any means, that will be most effective. "Day by day, because some one pays for the doing of it and be cause the great body of lawabid ing citizens is complaisant and says nothing to show its disappro val, flippant, jeering writers, pub lishers, soap-box orators and cab aret performers sow the wind and society reaps it all in whirlwinds which blast and destroy." Plight of the Stockman. PORTLAND TELEGRAM. THE plight of the cattlemen is being laid before the examin ers of the interstate comerce com mission, who are conducting a hearing upon Western livestock rates. There can be no evading the tact that their problem is a ser ious one and any and every rea sonable means that can be found to aid them through the present doldrums in the industry should be granted. It is a long and complicated story, beginning with the inflation in values and enthusiasm that came with the war, and ending too often in a tragic collapse of both. A man whose position gives him first hand and intimate know ledge of the situation said recent ly that one trouble with all branches of stockraising is that it is not followed steadily and con sistently through good years and bad. It has much the same ten dency to fluctuate that gives rise to the garden proverb, "high priced seed grows low priced po tatoes." Some fifteen years ago there was inaugurated a vigorous cam paign to persuade Oregon farm ers to raise enough hogs to supply our local needs. Hog raising was talked and hog raising was prac ticed until within three years, Ore gon had hogs enough and to spare. Naturally, over-production brought lowered price. Growers quickly lost courage and hogs went out of fashion on the farm, though ba con was still welcomed upon the table. Today Oregon produces only about one-fourth of the hogs that it uses, and a lot of our bacon money goes to Chicago and other Eastern markets. The point we would make is that the farmer who has steadily plug ged along, raising a few pigs from select stock as a staple and stabil izing. feature in his farm program, has averaged a good return on his time and money and effort. Stockmen who have held on, in spite of difficulties and discourage ments, are to be commended for their courage and determination and should be accorded every as sistance possible. As an agricul tural state, all Oregon is interest ed in the stock raisers' prosperity, and the communitv as a whole is concerned in the outcome of the present hearing, as in every effort to support one of our great basic industries. Has No Place in Politics. THE announcement is made from Salem that Governor Pat terson has accepted the resigna tion of Wm. Duby of Baker, chair man of the state highway com mission, and appointed in his place, Robert Sawyer, editor of the Bend Bulletin and county judge of Deschuttes county. The resignation and appointment are to take effect as of August 1st. It will be generally conceded that Chairman Duby has filled the place on the highway commission very satisfactorily to the state at large; this is true as far as Mor row county is concerned. The Baker County Chamber of Com merce, writing an official letter under date of July 9, expresses the opinion that the move to get rid of Air. Duby -at this time was for the purpose of appointing a po litical friend to the place. We are not informed as to this, but if it is true, it is to be regretted. This letter states that Mr. Duby was willing to serve out the term of his appointment, and that would end on March 31, next, but it ap pears that he was perfectly willing to step out at this time. We recall that upon the election of Mr. Pierce to the governorship and shortly after he entered upon the discharge of the duties of his office, Commissioners Booth and Barratt tendered their resigna tions, not, perhaps, at the request of the governor, but feeling that it was best to do so. Thereupon two men of the same political faith with the governor were ap pointed, but they no doubt have performed their duties on the highway commission with no thought other than to serve the people of the state in an unselfish manner and administer the affairs of the state highway department to the best of their ability and thus maintain the confidence of the people. We believe that Governor Pat terson has no other thought than to place such men on the commis sion as will continue the splendid record that has been maintained for the ten years of existence of the state highway department, and Judge Sawyer should measurt up to the standard that has been set. We agree with the Baker Cham ber of Commerce that the high way commission should be kept out of politics. A subscriber to an Iowa paper, being displeased with some re marks made by the editor, went in to whip him. How well he suc ceeded is given in the editor's own words: 'There was a blow; some body fell. We got up. Turning upon our antagonist, we succeed ed in winding his arms around our waist, and by a quick maneuver threw him on top of us, brng'ng our back at the same time in con tact with the solid bed of the print ing press. Then, inserting out nose between his teeth, and clev erly entangling his hands in our hair, we had him. E. S. McCorniick, superintendent of schools of Toledo, Oregon, was in Heppner Saturday afternoon, on bui ress with Superintendent Burgess and County .Superintendent Walker.
