POPE. WHY NOT A CARAVAN? T17ITH the announcement of dates for the Gilliam county fair set a week apart from those of the Heppner Rodeo, It will be possible far more people from our section to take in the event at Condon this year. For several years dates of the two events have conflicted and there has been little neighborly In tercourse between the two counties at the time of these major fall carnivals. With hard-surfaced highway now covering the gap between here and Condon, it takes but a couple of hours to travel the distance by auto mobile. The coming of the highway has brought the towns closer to gether, motoringly speaking. But it has not yet brought about the spirit of friendliness and coopera tion that should exist. Heppner and Condon have a great deal in common, and more can be accom plished toward the progress of each by a better understanding of prob lems that confronts either, and by working in harmony, than by each working against the other's inter ests. It would be a good idea for Hepp ner business men and citizens to get up an automobile caravan to visit the Gilliam county fair at least one day, in the interest of promoting a more neighborly spirit between the two counties. WHO EVER HEARD OF SUCH A PLACE? A PROLONGED and highly inter esting discussion of the origin of the name "Oregon" has been taking place in the "letters from the pub lic" column of the San Francsico Chronicle. So far no light has been shed on the subject other than what has already been made known by historians of the state, and quite likely there will not be as the mat ter was exhaustively gone into by the late Harvey Scott, reknowned editor of the Portland Oregonian, and others. Most amusing is the attitude of some "native sons" who object to the length to which the discussion is being .carried. One suggests that Oregon be dropped and an attempt be made to find the derivation of "California." So much hullaballoo tending even for a mo ment to place the native land sec ond in anything, though it be mere ly a lowly discussion of the origin of names, is irritating to the "na tive son." But then he probably thinks "Oregon" is the name of an insect, not knowing there is a great state by that name at California's northern door. What gets us most though, is that any weanling from the brea3t of the mother state would even so much as hint that he did not know everything about how Cal ifornia came to be. Or is it that he wishes the subject rehearsed that he may warm himself in the glow of such a radiant story as revela tion of the derivation of the mother state's name would surely make if told by a Californian.

IrTrank (mi? ay0: Moses and the Ten Commandments JOSES was a Jew, the great grandson of Levi, the great great iTi grandson of Jacob, who was the first Israelite, and the great-great-great-great grandson of Abraham, who was the first Hebrew. In China they boast of pedigrees thirty centuries long; the only people that can show anything equal to this are the Jews. The proud Jew of this day can look down with contempt upon the Hohenzollerns, the Romanoffs and the Guelphs of Europe, "whose blood has crept through scoundrels since the flood." But to the Egyptians Moses was a slave's son. He was to them as a black baby, born in a Louisiana slave-hut, would have been to the Southern aristocracy in 1850. Time has a grim humor. The monarchs of Egypt are today only known as contemporaries of Moses. The Czar of Russia will be known as the contemporary of Tolstoy. Moses goes up into smoking Sinai and has a conversation with the thunder and lightning. What did they say to him? He shows us when he comes down. There on a stone slab are graven the Ten Commandments. Whether he really spoke with God, or whether he had a hypnotic fit up there in the thunderstorm, the fact remains that in some way he got hold of the toughest, most everlasting and fireproof bundle of truths any son of man ever found. The Ten Commandments are the most important words in history. They were given by Moess to the Jews, but they have been generally accepted throughout Christendom as the foundation of all law and morals. They are the basis of society in the civilized world. There is no other instance in history where a rule has been recognized and obeyed by the mass of the most intelligent people for over three thousand years. They are not merely religious teachings inculcated by the church. They lay their restraining hand on every human being. They function in the home, the market, the street and office. They hold in the wild places of the earth and in the farthest seas. KEEPING THE CAMPAIGN CLEAN. w E HEAR considerable about keeping the national campaign on a high plane and it seems to be quite a job. Just now followers of Governor Smith are loud in their protests against what they term a vile and slanderous "whispering" attack. What the whisperers are saying we have not heard except through Senator Robinson who says there is an underhanded at tempt to convince the people that Smith is a drunkard. He resents it as he has a right to do. Whether his method of answering it will do any good remains to be seen. We always supposed that sort of thing were best ignored, as the people it would appeal to are not to be reach ed by open argument. Doubtless the Smith people are also exorcised about the anti-Smith matter going through the mails, though that can hardly be termed a whispering at tack. It is put in print where all may see. Nevertheless personal at tacks on a candidate, regardless of what they allege and by whom they are made are usually unfair. Even if they are not unfair they usually accomplish no purpose. They only degrade the campaign and distort the judgment of the people. It would be better if everybody on both sides could stick to the issues, concede that each candidate is an able and honorable man and select the man best qualified by views and experience for the presidential task. This is what the best element in both parties hoped. But evidently it is not to be. The whispering attack is as old as the government Washington and Jefferson were victims of it So were Jackson and Lincoln, Cleve land and Roosevelt, Wilson and Harding. The whispered charge was varied, it always seems to have been false, and its method of pro pagation seems to have been the same, the whispered assertion which could not be stopped because responsibility for it could not be located. It is a terrible thing, but what are we to do about it? It seems to be one of the penalties of prominence. Just now Smith seems to be the injured party; later unless we are mistaken, the whisperers will attack Hoover. That sort of thing is bi-partisan. The only remedy we see is for good citizens of both parties to keep their feelings in hand. Dis regard charges that are not public ly made and accompanied by proof. You must know that a man would not be nominated for president if he were a vile or depraved creature. Stick to the issues and vote accord ing to your convictions. Disregard the lower phases of the campaign. Baker Herald. VACATION IS OVER. THE GLAD summer season of play is over for our children, and they are again .creeping, as .the Immortal Bard of Avon phrased it, "unwillingly to school." Yet not as "unwillingly" as in the days of the Bard of Avon. Taken by and large it seems to us that school is a rath er pleasant place these days. The days of the rule of the rod are pretty generally over. Teachers of today are sympathetic, interested in the problems of youth. They want to instill knowledge, not to inspire fear. This is far from being a belittle- ment of the teachers of days gone by. Many of them were wonderful men and women who were an in spiration and a guide to all their pupils. There were a few, 'however, who relied on force and lung-power rather than on patience and tact. Now, luckily, the number of can tankerous, up-in-the-air teachers has dwindled considerably. This is because new systems of training children have been devised which are based on a true under standing of the child-mind. The pioneer work of a number of dis tinguished educators has had its ef fect on every school the country over. We know now that the best weapon of a teacher is kindness; the one most likely to defeat its purpose, cruelty. In addition, new and Interesting studies have been added to the cur riculum, and in most cities and towns there is ample provision for healthy recreation In the form of athletics, which are an integral part of the school course. Educational methods, as well as educators, are progressing so rap idly that in the near future people reading Shakespeare simply won't understand how he came to use that word "unwillingly." THE INCREASING NON-VOTING CLASS. ORGANIZATION on political party lines called "get-out-the-vote" clubs, are being pushed for the November election. In six states the last chance to register is already past and in 37 states registry rights expire 30 days before election. In a few states there Is perma nent registration for property own ers whose taxes are paid Indiana has repealed its registration laws. In many states registered voters lose their rights if they omit voting a certain number of times In each biennial period. The enormous volume of state and federal laws relating to natur alization, registration, primaries and elections proper, have all tend ed to Increase the non-voting class. Doing away with manhood suf frage and increasing the obstacles, difficulties and voting requirements cause uncertainty and chaos with the result that in many instances a minority of voters control election results. EXTENDING HUMAN PROSPER ITY AND HAPPINESS. SUPPLYING electric light and power to a community Is not merely a business. It is a public service that forever frees men from the tyranny of excessive burden; that spells the difference between less toil and more comfort; less confinement and more leisure; less poverty and more wealth. It is the measure of human prosperity and happiness. Every time electrical service is extended, every time there is a new labor-saving device introduced in the home or in the factory, labor is made more useful and productive, the individual is released for those pursuits which make for better government, and civilization is broadened and strengthened. A GREAT TRIBUTE. THE Unknown Soldier whose tomb is under the Arch of Triumph in France has received a perfect trib ute. Many have been the decorations of thta tomb, but none more sin cere, none more touching, than that placed on it by the farmers of Rheims. These farmers, having good crops, deposited a sheaf of wheat orna mented with white grapes on the tomb. The inscription on the tribute was worded as follows: "From the peasants of Rheims who owe their harvest to your sac rifice." THE FARM TOOL OF ALL WORK. OF ALL recent inventions for the farm, the tractor has been the most revolutionary. It has brought cost reduction, time-saving, and in crease in efficiency. Old methods which had been much the same for nearly a century went by the boards. The hard, uncertain labor of weeks became the work of days. Land, all but impossible to break up, has been conquered with ease. Add to this the tractor's other sa lient uses, in dozens of farm du ties, In the lumber camps, and on the roads, and it can be understood that this queer crawler type of ma chine is the great tool-of-all-work this century has produced. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP IN A NUTSHELL. THE weakness of government ownership and operation is the tendency to suppress individual in itiative, to hamper it with laws and with rules of departments. It takes off the economic check on expendi tures and substitutes only a polit ical check, which is highly unsatis factory.

Price, D. D., Associate General Secretary of the Werld's Sunday School Association. What Paul wrote has been of con tinuing Influence, for his letters form a part of the Book that is the world's best seller. Millions of cop ies of the Bible come from the presses every year. Some letters of Paul are lost but we have at least thirteen in the New Testament that were written by him. As this is the first lesson In the series that deals especially with Paul's letters you should give spec ial attention to each of the epistles. In your Bible dictionary, teachers' helps or other reference books search out all you can about where each was written, to whom, why, and make an analysis of Its general content I and II Thessalonlans were written during the second journey, I and II Corinthians, Ga latians and Romans on the third journey. During the first Roman Imprisonment the world received Epheaians, Phillippians, Coloslans and Philemon. Then came I Tim othy and Titus during the days of freedom and II Timothy was wrltr ten just before his Release, during the second Imprisonment at Rome. The Bible Is always a book of hu man interet. Paul was at Ephesus. Some member of the household of Chloo, from that city, had spent a while In Corinth and on returning told Just how matters concerning the new church were progressing in the Isthmian city. It seems that In general there was marked prog ress, but old fashioned human na ture was also running true to form. Factions were being formed by those who claimed that they were converts through the special work of some individual. Some belonged taxes, the man who has to go to people who are free to give their money or withhold it, must make out a sound economic case for him self or he doesn't get the money. If he has to make out only a political case, he forces the money from nidl- viduals through a tax levy. That is the whole case of govern ment ownership and operation of industry versus private ownership and operation. By Arthur Brisbane If War Vanished. Pain and Suffering. Abolishing Poverty. Padlocks for Homes? That pact outlawing war is sign ed, and for the present, nations seem to take it seriously. Suppose the Improbable SHOULD happen, and all nations suddenly abandon war. What would happen? Earth's population has been reg ulated by WAR, DISEASE, FAM INE. Machinery and better government have practically eliminated famine, Science has almost eliminated the plagues that killed wholesale. No more "Black Death." With war gone what would prevent growth of population greater than the earth could sustain? Divine Wisdom, ruling the earth, is probably able to solve that prob lem as it has taken care of others including the most difficult, how to keep populations1 GROWING in spite of war, plague and famine. The Rev. Dr. Auer, who teaches philosophy at Tufts College, says men should not seek to AVOID pain and suffering but to UNDER STAND both. That is better than the old theory that God actually wanted men to suffer. When anaesthetics were first us ed, the clergy of Britain denounced them as interfering with God's wishes. God wishes us to suffer when we have our legs cut off, and men must not interfere with His plans by us ing chloroform, thus cheating the Lord, said the preachers. An ingenious doctor answered, to the confusion of clergymen, quoting the Book of Genesis, asserting that the Lord was the One to use anaes thetics when He "caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam" before removing one of Adam's ribs to make Eve. Men should understand pain and suffering, of course, as the rever end philosopher Auer says. But they should also concentrate on el iminating both by scientific means, and especially by abolishing pov erty. The best thing in Herbert Hoov er's speech of acceptance, the best thing said by any Presidential can didate since Lincoln, was his state ment expressing the hope that by giving every man a job, well paid, poverty may be made to disappear. In Minnesota prohibition officials threaten to padlock wet homes. Quite a surprise for the Minne sota ploughman homeward plodding his weary way, or children from the public schools to find the front to the Pauline party, others claimed Cephas or Apollos, while another group was frank in saying that they belonged to Christ and it was not at all vital through whom they learned of Him: the new life was the essential factor. It was to cor rect the erroneous thinking that Paul prepared this first letter to the church at Corinth. Of course he added much that was construc tive. Now read the entire letter. You can note that the lessons for September 23 and October 14 are also taken from this most helpful epistle. Then read the first four chapters a second time as that por tion is of general content for this lesson study. Every week you should get the full context in Scrip ture as well as the few verses Indi cated for particular study. Because Paul was seeking to build up a Christcentcred Kingdom and not a mancentered party the people In Corinth were urged to think the matter through. Each one who had visited that city had been working for the one great pur pose and had not sought to estab lish an individual following. Each had a real part in this Kingdom building but always "God gave the increase." Every worker was just a minister-servant of the Christ. Every bit of self Interest Is ruled out as all are styled "God's fellow workers." This is partnership In deed. The truth Is enriched when another term is used "God's hus bandry." Full credit for foundatlonlng is given in verse 11 a Jesus Christ Is named. "Other foundation can no man lay." It is the part of each one who will care for his own life and be useful In the lives of others to build personally and directly with reference to this essential founda tion. Peace, unity and the true brotherhood of man are acclaimed In the Golden Text "Behold, how good and how pleasant It Is for brethren to dwell together In unity!" and back door padlocked, and be compelled to sleep In the garage. One way to kill a thing is to make it ridiculous. Seven thousand miles happens to be the distance in a straight line across the Pacific Ocean. Planes able to make that trip ought to interest us. But we haven't any air ministry. Our Government doesn't yet realize that airplanes really exist This nation, richest in the world, de pends on private individuals to de velop the airplane. We may pay for that some day and be compelled to call on British airplanes to help us as we had to call on British ships to help us in the big war. What we are saving now on air planes may cost us a thousand dol lars for one some fine day. Murphy had been careless In han dling the blasting powder In the quarry and Kelly had been deputed to break the news gently to the widow. "Mrs. Murphy," said he, "isn't it to-day the fellow calls for the week ly payment for Murphy's life insur ance?" "It is," answered Mrs. Murphy. "Well, now, a word in yuor ear," said Kelly. "Sure ye can snap your fingers at the fellow today." Tests prove that a man cannot fall faster than 118 miles an hour. What a relief! WANTED!
