SO FAR as can be discerned there is no dissenting voice raised to the fact that Heppner's cemetery- needs improvement The subject has been discussed by mainy since the proposal to the Lions club Mon day looking to the feasibility of getting running water to the ceme tery for irrigation purposes. Real ization of needs there arising from the discussion include more than obtaining running water, all of which has led to the conclusion that the problem is a difficult one, and that a large sum of money would be required to remedy the situation in an acceptable manner. The subject is one in which the entire community is vitally interest ed. Everyone knows that some thing should be done, and yet no one has advanced a practicable the ory for exactly what can be done. A step has been made to have all the cemetery put under city super vision. And one logical suggestion, that would necessitate no cash out lay, has been made that a holiday be declared when everyone would go to the cemetery and make a gen eral cleanup, the day preferably to be set just before Memorial Day. Whether or not the city can see its way clear to take over the obli gation entailed by accepting super vision is a matter of conjecture. That pooling of interests in behalf of a more attractive city of the dead is commendable, none would gain say. That the problem should not be ignored because of its magnitude is certain; and by doing that which can be done as time moves along, the day will yet come when the city cemetery will be an object of pride instead of one of regret. DIG THE NICARAGUA CANAL Autocaster Service. THERE could be no better time than the present to begin the work of constructing a canal across Nicaragua, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It would pro vide work at good pay for tens of thousands of workers for years to come, and it would benefit every part of the United States. The Panama Canal has proved a great success. It is earning more than its upkeep, and in time will have repaid its cost. But it is al ready being used almost to capacity and shipping men' are wondering how long it will be before it is inad equate. Some people are talking of a plan to dig the Panama Canal deeper, to make it a sea-level pas sageway. But that would take as much time as to build a new canal across Nicaragua, and would cost as much money. Under a treaty between the two nations, the United States and Nic aragua, ratified in 1916, we have the perpetual right to construct the Nic aragua canal and to operate it, a3 well as to fortify its approaches. Army engineers who have been sur veying the route have finished their task and will shortly, make a report which will indicate that it is entire ly feasible. As soon as that report is in its hands, Congress should au thorize the beginning of construc tion. The Nicaragua Canal will be 350 miles shorter a whole day's steam in than the Panama route between New York and Pacific ports. It will save 550 miles and two days time between New Orleans and Los An geles. It will further reduce the cost of transporting passengers and merchandise between our two coasts and will expedite the transfer of " our -naval forces from one ocean to the other in case of war. Moreover, it will bring the five Central Ameri can republics into closer touch with the United States and thereby tend to remove much of the ill-feeling, born of ignorance, which exists tow ards us in those regions. Those are some of the arguments in favor of the Nicaragua Canal. We cannot at the moment think of a good argument against it MUST AMERICA KESOKT TO THE DOLE? Autocaster Service. TWO million able-bodied English men are "on the dole." That Is, they are living at the expense of the taxpayers of Great Britain, be ing allowed enough money from the public treasury every week to keep them and their families in idleness. That the dole has produced a new class of paupers is the testimony of every Impartial observer. Once a man goes "on the dole" he becomes unwilling to work, even If work Is offered. The excuse for the dole which Is offered by the Labor gov ernment of England is that the gov ernment must support these unem ployed men or face a revolution. That may be true in England, but It is certainly not the case in, Amer ica. That there 1b much suffering among the people of certain parts of Arkansas and other regions which were ruined by the drought of last year Is undeniable. Every good I EDITORIAV 7 American citizen wants to do what he can to help relieve this distress. And, fortunately, we have a great national organization already set up and trained in the work of relieving human suffering, already actively on the job of providing food, clothing and shelter for those in the stricken regions who arc unable to fend for themselves at the present time. That organization is the Ameri can Red Cross. Its officials have surveyed the need and report that ten million dollars is needed at once for this work of mercy. President Hoover has appointed a distinguish ed committee of private citizens, headed by Calvin Coolidge and Al fred E. Smith, to help raise the money. The American people will give the Red Cross the ten million dollars, and as much more money as may be needed, if the politicians in Congress who are trying to make political capital out of human mis ery will keep their hands off. What is being proposed in Con gress is that the United States gov ernmentthat is to say, the taxpay ers of the United States shall con tribute the money with which to feed those who need it this Winter and Spring. In other words, those members of Congress who advocate this would establish the British dole system in this country. That is a British system, but it is not, as President Hoover points out, an American system. The American principle of government is to give to every man, so far as possible, the opportunity to work out his own salvation, to protect him in his rights as an individual, but not to feed or clothe him at public expense except as payment for services per formed. Never in our history has the Fed eral government assessed the tax payers for such a purpose. It has, however, authorized the Red Cross to carry out the American method of poor relief, by means of volun tary contributions. If Congress votes money for this purpose, either directly or as a gift to the Red Cross, it will be more than an im position upon the taxpayers. It will be the beginning of the breakdown of the American system of govern ment, reducing us to the level of Great Britain and our citizens to the pauper level of the beneficiaries of the dole. Moreover, it will de prive millions of generous-hearted Americans of the privilege of con tributing to the relief of their suf fering fellow-citizens. In considering the problem of im proving the city cemetery, Heppner may well take a lesson from her neighboring town of lone. People of that little city recently complet ed a road on good grade to the cem etery by volunteer labor. What is earned by toil of the hand and sweat of the brow often gives more lasting satisfaction. A clean city for the living is the object of the special clean-up day next Monday. That is a matter of- vital importance to the people of Heppner. HEALTH NURSE NOTES. Alfred Petteys of lone was taken to Portland where he underwent a surgical operation at the Portland sanatorium Tuesday morning. Annie Stender is reported to now be residing with her people in Sa lem. One child in school is receiving a quart of milk a day from the Mor row County Public Health associa tion, because of her run-down phys ical condition caused by mumps and "flu."

MORE "HEART DISEASE" The waves of this turbulent sea appear more appalling from day to day; "heart disease" has become the prevailing guess on sudden deaths. This very morning the paper from out our neighboring big city an nounces three deaths, all heart dis ease, of a "heart attack." Again let me remind my reader, it is time to think. None of these deaths was later than fifty-five years old. That's too young for a man to die; it is the age for men to have their very best minds from fifty to sixty. Prevention is the sheet anchor in heart disorders, for cure is too often attempted when it is too late to do anything. And, now listen: An im portant organ, as the heart is, never becomes diseased without giving ample warning that something 1? wrong.

JESUS, THE WOBLD'S TEACHER Luke 6:27-42 REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. A new term had been used when Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God. He set forth the principles of that Kingdom in all of His address es but especially in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5, 6, 7. It is thought that this great message was repeated in briefer statements in the Sermon on the Plain, from which this lesson study is taken. Give careful attention to all the items in Luke 6 for they have much to say about daily living.

In the past they had been urged to take an "eye for an eye" and if strength permitted they would prob ably seek to give back with added interest when an injury was done. Now this Postlvist says "love your enemies." Such direction must have caused about as much amaze ment as the miracles which held the people spellbound. In fact no limit is set upon the kindly attitude and active help for all who had sought to injure them. After doing all they could, they were advised to "pray for them that despitefully use you." What we call charity was to be dispensed with real kindness. Such teachings have an application today as we are importuned by the needy and worthy who are hungry because of lack of employment.
