It is seldom that such acts are deliberate, for no one other than an enemy within our midst enjoys seeing blackened hillsides or denuded, charred forests. Losses in pasturage and timber can usually be charged to thoughtlessness, and it requires eternal vigilance to educate the public to the necessity of learning, thinking and practicing safety wherever highly inflammable material is contacted. There are signs that the fire condition is im proving, although many weeks of dry weather lie ahead, and it will be to the credit of the pub lic if men and equipment are not to be called out this year to fight open range and timber fires. Make "Keep Oregon Green" your motto and work at it. Are We At War? Whether or not we are at war depends upon the school of thought we happen to train with. One speaker or writer may contend that this is just a policing job (the Korean incident) while another speaker or writer may contend that this is a hot war. Soroptimisls returning from the Soroptimist International in Seattle last week bring the re port of hearing two speakers, one a military man, the other a clergyman. The military man con tended that the present imbroglio is not war (we can't say why just at the moment), but may lead to an all-out conflict if not settled hastily. The following afternoon the minister expressed his opinion. He had seen World War II service in the British navy. He could tell his hearers how cold the waters of Norway are because he had been unceremoniously dumped into them by the ex plosion of an enemy bomb on the ship of which he was a crewman. He had tasted of many of the bitter pills of warfare, had seen men killed or The oAmerican Way broken in body and health, just as men are be ing killed or broken in body and health over in Korea. World War II admittedly was warfare. What do you think the present situation is? "The snake has bitten and we are infected with its poison," says the Arlington (Texas) citi zen. "The only hope for Texas and the rest of the South is to eliminate at the polls every candidate who has become in any way infected by the soci alistic virus. And remember, socialism, whether by the name of New Deal, Fair Deal or what have you, smells as bad." This Isn't Progress According to news reports, the next demand of the United Mine Workers on the soft coal industry will probably be for "less worktime and more playtime." Little is being said about increasing the basic wage rate, which was raised to $14.75 a day by the contract signed last March. But union officials are talking loudly about shorter work weeks, longer vacations and other such benefits, says the Industrial News Review. It is certainly clear to anyone that, whether or not the basic wage rate remains firm, these de mands are for substantial wage increases by in direction. For example, the union wants a 35-hour week with no reduction in the present take-home pay of the 40-hour week. Should this be gained, it is obvious, coal's labor costs, which are now higher than in any comparable industry, will shoot skyward again and the price of coal to the consumer will follow. In that event, it is equally obvious, coal's com petitive position with other fuels will again be worsened. And then, inevitably, more markets will be lost, consumption of coal will decline and the number of highly-paid jobs available to the miners will diminish. Labor will make paper "gains" at a heavy cost to all concerned. It is difficult to see how this can be consid ered progress for labor. The miners now average more than $70 a week, including part-time work ers and absenteeism. Many miners earn upwards of $400 a month, and some have $600 paychecks. THE CLERGY SPEAK By CEORGE PECK Dr. Temple, Archbishop of Can terbury, a few years ago made the following ridiculous state ment, ". . . it is true that the more one has, the less there is for others, so that each man's suc cess represents corresponding failure in his neighbors." For this learned (?) Primate of the Church of England, I would recommend a course of reading in American history. It would astound him. He mould learn that when the white man first came to what is now the United States, there were just a few hun dred thousand Indians occupy ing the territory, struggling for a bare subsistence. Today, four centuries later, 150 million peo ple, including 325,000 Indians, live in this self-same territory, and have achieved the highest standard of living the world has ever known. Yes, the same country, but the white man pioneered it he till ed the fertile acres and develop ed its natural resources. He in vented machines and gadgets, and he worked. TODAY THE POOREST CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES IS RICHER THAN WAS THE RICHEST IN'D IAN FOUR CENTURIES AGO. That would seem to knock into a "cocked hat" Dr. Temple's bsurd statement that, "each man s sue cess represents corresponding failure in his neighbors." But Dr. Temple is not the only clergyman or religious educator who in recent years has sounded off with such socialist drivel. In their zeal for the welfare of the common man, all too many church dignitaries misguidedly have been advocating some form of socialism or collectivism for the United States. It is refresh ing, therefore, to know that there are some churchmen who bitterly and Mrs. Bernell Scott will begin an old-fashioned revival. They both play musical instruments and sing special numbers. Come and hear the word of God. o Heppner Church of Christ Glenn Warner, Minister Bible school, 9:45 a. m. C. W. Barlow, superintendent.

Barnett ' Lexington, Oregon The two circles of the Wom ans Society of Christian Service of the Methodist church will hold a joint meeting at 2 p. m. July 19 in the church basement. There will be a program and a social hour. Members and friends are urged to attend. nesday from the Eight Mile farm duce things for sale checking with a physician about a heart ailment. ice, or a wage or salary position in productive industry. Without profit, there will be no produc tive industries under private ownership or control, for the rea. son that no one would have a reason for starting such an in dustry. If there are no private industries to furnish jobs, and everyone must look for a job for himself instead of making jobs for others, there would be only one way out. That would be for the Government to take over all industries and find jobs for ev erybody, which would be Com- munisf." The late Pope Leo XIII, in his Encyclical Letter, "The Condition of Labor," wrote in part regard ing the interference of the State into the affairs of the individual and family: "Such interference is not only unjnst, but is qurte certain to harass and disturb all classes of citizens, and to subject them to odious and intolerable slavery. It would open the door to envy, to evil speaking, and to quarreling; the sources of wealth would themselves run dry, for no one would have any interest in exert ig his talents or his industry; and that ideal equality of which so much is said would, in reality be the leveling clown of all to the same condition of misery and dishonor. "Thus it is clear THAT THE MAIN TENET OF SOCIALISM THE COMMUNIY OF GOODS MUST BE UTTERLY REJECTED, for it would injure those whom it is intended to benefit, it would be contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and it would intro duce confusion and disorder into the commonwealth. Our first and most fundamental principle, therefore, when we undertake to alleviate the condition of the Local News In Brief Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.

One such is the Reverend Theodore Graebner, Concordia Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri.

Surely, we will reject the false economic philosophy that "each man's suc cess represents corresponding failure in his neighbors." We know better than that.
