OPINION JJKITED.
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." She has so far gained two
pounds.
Miss Edith Stallard, county nurse,
spent two days in Portland last
week, caring for a patient.

"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.
I wish I could make every one of
my readers understand that the SLX

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.

iii rs must have been amazed
ai. ie i.ature of the teaching. 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.
