HE HERMISTON THE HERALD, HERMISTON, CREGON. HERALD HERMISTON Published every Friday at Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon, in the heart of Eastern Oregon’s great irrigated alfalfa fields, by the Herald LAST Warning! Men and fish get into trouble because they do not keep their mouths shut. A FEW HAVE RESPONDED BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO SUFFERED THE WORST LAST WIN TER WHO HAVE MADE NO PROVISION FOR THEIR COAL FOR THE COMING WINTER. WE NOW HAVE A LIMITED SUPPLY ON HAND, BUT WE AN TICIPATE A SHORTAGE ABOUT THE TIME THAT WE WILL BE NEEDING COAL. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR COAL IN THIS WINTER YOU WILL HAVE ONLY YOURSELVES TO BLAME. Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company MAYOR BAKER OF PORTLAND the COUNTRY NEWSPAPER Mayor Baker, of Portland, Oregon, has consented to run for a second term. The announcement came af ter a petition was presented to Mr. Baker by a large number of promi- nent citizens of Portland, who ap- predate the work Mayor Baker has done for the city. There is no question about It, Mr. Baker has made a wonderful mayor for Portland, and we are glad he has consented to be elected again for we are sure of his election. Good men for public offices are scarce, and when we get hold of one, we ought to keep him on the job if possible. We are a little bit interested in the development of Portland, for as the big city progresses. It measures back into the country towns a de mand for more of the country’s pro ducts, and naturally we want Port land to want more of the things we raise. Therefore, we are glad Mayor Baker will be a candidate again, for his progressive management of the city’s affairs have the tendency to help the smaller towns that dump produce into the big city. In commenting on the attack of a metropolitan daily which attempted to belittle the political influence of the country weekly and daily over the land, Harry Hammond, editor of the Byron, California, Times, one of the Ilveet and most progressive pa pers in the country, says: “While the country paper Is small, it is doing just as much, in its way, for the progrese and development of the section it serves as any of the larger papers, and in some cases a great deal more, because, as a rule, the bigger the paper the more its opinions are dominated from the counting room, something never thought of by the country weekly, which boosts its locality all the time without thought of receiving pay for such service. The people of a country commun- ity swear by and not at their local paper. It carries far greater weight, politically and otherwise, with them than does the paper of metropolitan pretentions. The country weekly is closer to the hearts of its readers than is the case with the larger news papers.” FARMERS AND POLITICS SAVING THE FLOCKS AND HERDS We take it for granted that far- mers are doing a lot of thinking these days along political lines. But whether they are or not, they should. With one of the most radical polit ical parties that America has ever known endeavoring to gain control of the government it behooves every farmer and every citizen to think be fore jumping at a conclusion. No owner of a farm home tn this state is or can be in sympathy with socialism, because socialism does not recognize that any man has a right to private property. But It is known that many farmers have shown sym pathy for the leaders of socialism, by affiliating with the non-partisan league. This is dangerous practice, and farmers must know it. No right thinking man has any ob jection to the farmer organizing to correct any evils that might exist. The great majority of the people of this state would be glad to have a large farmer's organization whose purpose would be to better farm life and conditions. There is no argu- ment on this score. But because of the fact that the great majority are opposed to socialism, they are op- posed to any flirting with leaders whose lives have been dedicated to socialism, which excludes them from the class of good Americans.

Drouth stricken Douglas county, Oregon, will send 3000 head of cat tle to Walla Walla county, Washing ton, for feeding this winter. It is claimed this Is cheaper than to ship the feed to the cattle and will prevent starvation of the ani mals if done in time. The past two years millions of cat tle, horses and sheep starved on the ranges from droth and perished from cold and snow. Owners of flocks and herds should be able to secure state and federal cooperation to prevent such losses, It should be made a crime to al low these domestic animals to perish for lack of shelter, food or water. The Umatilla project will raise enough alfalfa hay this year to feed thousands of head of cattle this win ter, and to hear of animals perish ing for want of'feed when we have an abundance to supply those In need seems worse than a crime.
