W. C. T. U. NOTES
MART
NOTSON. Reporter.
Discussing the question of state
control of liquor In the event that
the 18th amendment should be re
pealed or modified, E. H. Cherring
ton quotes from Lincoln's debate
with Douglas in which Lincoln said
that "a house divided against it
self cannot stand." Also, he calls
attention to the fact that the situa
tion as to intoxicating liquor is
different from that of slavery in
that slavery was confined to a cer
tain section of the country form
ing a solid block, while state con
trol of liquor will likely result in
a checker-board arrangement of
wet and dry states. This would
make it very difficult to protect the
dry states, as was well known be
fore national prohibition came in.
Another difference between slavery
and liquor la pointed out. It is this:
Slavery was recognized in the con
stitution itself, while liquor has
never been recognized as having
any constitutional rights.
The wets have consistently assert
ed all along that they were opposed
to the return of the saloon. An
editorial in the Baltimore Evening
Sun, under the heading, "Wisdom
From a Dry," says: "The Reverend
the Honorable F. Scott McBride,
general superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, introduces a truly
practical question when he ex
presses a polite doubt that, without
the Baloon, a beer tax will produce
all that is expected of it.
"We share his doubt and we fur
ther doubt that most Americans
will consider that beer has come
back unless and until they are per
mitted to prove it to themselves by
going into a properly appointed em
porium and asking a white-coated
gentleman with a smooth coiffure
and a certain embonpoint to draw
one without too high a collar.
The truth is that beer, above all
other beverages, is a social drink.
Moreover, lit is peculiarly a man s
drink. The women who actually
like it are numerous, but they are
nothing compared to the men. Beer
is the drink with which thoughtful,
muninative men accompany their
discussion of major matters. It is
the drink which implies, moreover,
a temporary cessation of the sex
obsession. It implies a momentary
relief from domestic concerns. It
requires, therefore, .that it shall be
mainly drunk away from home, in
quiet and salubrious surroundings,
with no women present and only
those men in the vicinity who ap
preciate good conversation."
This editorial appeared in the
Sun only a few short months after
the paper had ridiculed the idea
that anybody wanted the saloon.
It proves just what the drys have
contended, that the wets have had
in mind all the time the return of
the saloon. It is the old saloon and
brewery crowd which have furnish
ed a large part of the funds with
which to fight prohibition.

The HEHISCH
Edited by the Journalism Class of Heppner High School
Editorial
A substitute's job is a thankless
one. It is just as necessary for him
to be punctual at every night's
practice as it is for the first team
player, and just as essential that
he be present at every game and
that he observe the same strict
rules of training.
The cheers, however, are given
the regular while the substitute
sits unnoticed on the bench. Often
times he goes through a whole sea
son without a minute's game parti
cipation. Yet the difference be
tween him and the first team play
er may be almost nil. Some coach
es say that it takes just as much
of courage and of the stuff great
mem are made of to sit through a
season thus, without recognition, as
it does to take the knocks that
come With game play.
It is necessary for a winning
team to have the confidence that
comes with a good reserve strength
to have a successful first string.
Let us give more notice to our
substitutes.
Booster Club Program
Sh! Ye Towne Crier comes down
the hall. He has great news. There
is proclaimed an entertainment by
royal bloods. But who ever heard
of such a thing in Piff PUT Land!
Yet it must be true. Let us listen!
Ye Towne Drier is reading the
cast of the skit: "The Princess Liz"
(Delia Ulrich), the Prince Charm
ing (Claire Phelan), and the King
of Piff Piff Land (Dick Benton).
But who ever thought of Claire
Phelan as a "Prince Charming," or
Dick Benton as "the Kink of Piff
Piff Land?" Well, all this is to be
found in a skit presented by the
Booster club this Friday at 3 o'
clock.
Another part of the program
which is certain to be entertaining
is a skit, "Shine. In it are fea
tured Anabel Turner, Hazel Bey
mer and Jessie French as songsters,
and Anabel as a tap dancer also.
This program will be very
worth while because the members
have put in many hours of diligent
practice.
Announcements and cards for
graduation were chosen by the se
nior class at their meeting Tuesday
morning. Inexpensive announce
ments were decided upon. The or
der is to be sent away this week. A
meeting had been called for Friday
afternoon but es no boys attended,
it turned into a discussion of grad
uation dresses, strictly feminine.
Sophomores to Put on Flay
given by the sophomores on their
program April 14 were held last
Thursday. Margaret LieuaJJen, ,
Bene Kilkenny, Lorena Wilson,
Howard Furlong and Billy Cochell
were chosen for the parts. This

and Tuesday. The djning room ta
ble was decorated 'with a color
scheme of red and white candles
and streamers. The table center
was covered by a big red heart Red
and white place cards made by one
of the pupils were used. Monday,
Edna Jones acted at hostess and
Margaret Lieuallen as host Tues
day they reversed places. Meals
were served as in a family; there
fore each member of the class rep
resented one of the family as fath
er, mother, or child.
Cold Weather Bugbear
The Rhea creek bus was late
Wednesday and Thursday, a week
ago. Wednesday morning the en
gine was very cold and the bus
driver, Anderson Hayes, broke the
crank trying to start tt He then
borrowed a crank and, after work
ing some time, got the motor start
ed. The bus was forty-five minutes
late that morning. Thursday morn
ing, the coldest this winter so far,
found the bus stiff and hard to
start again. Anderson had had the
broken crank welded, but upon try
ing to start the motor, the crank
broke again. The air was filled
with blue fire and brimstone but
this did not thaw the motor out, so
hot water and hard work were re
sorted to. The bus arrived at a
quarter after eleven Thursday
morning.
