As announced In The Harald last
week th e undersigned has bought
Mr. A th ey ’s interest In the paper and
w ill be editor from now on. It will
be noticed that a few changes have
been made in the paper In th is is
sue and it is probable th at a few
others w ill be made in the near fu
ture. Every man has h is own idea
as to w hat co n stitu tes tt good country
paper and no tw o m en’s Ideas are
quite the sam e so a few ch an ges are
to be expected.
The m ain purpose of The Herald
w ill rem ain the sam e. It has tried
in the past to g iv e good service to
its readers and advertisers and it
w ill co n tin u e to try to do it. It has
tried to be a good loyal booster for
an y th in g that would help the west
end o f U m atilla county an d it w ill
con tin u e to boost ,for th at. T his
paper does not expect to have much
to do w ith the problem s of the na
tional governm ent, we w ill find
plenty to do right here at home and
we exp ect to confine our en ergies
m ostly here.
The w riter In tak in g hold of the
paper w ish es to ask the people of the
com m unity for support and coopera
tion, for no paper can exist w ithout
it. T h is support has been given
freely in the past and the paper may
be said to be one of the str o n g e st
in the sta te for a town of th is size
That speaks volum es for the publi*
spirit of the people here and Th-
Herald w ill try to be w orthy of ii
The paper goes to all parts of Ha
sta te and to many parts of the U n it
ed S tates every w eek. W herever ii
goes it is an advertisem ent, good 01
bad, for Herm iston and it Is the con
cern o f il l of us to make it as good
an advertisem ent as posible. Thi:
we w ill try to do w ith your help.
It may be remarked in a persona
way th at the w riter is not very we'
acquainted yet and if readers wil
make a special effort to help us ;
bit w ith personal new s item s durin;
the next few w eeks it w ill be vor?
much appreciated. If you happei
to be goin g by the oflce drop In am
get acquainted or if you are ac
quaint drop in and tell us w hat you
and your friends are doing,....T hai
w ill help us make an interesting
paper.
T h is w ill perhaps let you k'nov
in a general w ay w hat we are hopin:
for ourselves and from the readers
The Herald should be a big asset I
H erm iston and to make it so w ill ti
the Job of all of us. You may b-
sure th at w hatever you put into th-
paper in patronage you w ill get oil'
in the form of better service. Th-
paper w ill be Just as good as pal
ronage w ill let It be.

HERALD,
A HoOd R iver farmer narrow ly es
caped death recently w hen he wa
badly wounded by an ex-con vict wh-
shot him and then kidnapped hi
fam ily. Other members of the fam i
ly seem to have been lucky, as the
convict threatened to k ill them If
he w as m olested. He w as follow ed
and killed w ithout havin g harmed
any o f the farm er's fam ily.
The convict Fagan, had ju st been
paroled from the sta te p enitentiary
by Governor Olcott on recom m enda
tion of the S tate Parole board. All
the gen tlem en in question seem to
have plausible excu ses for their
action, but the fact rem ains that
they turned loose a degenerate upon
the sta te who never should have
been released. .
There has been altogeth er too
much o f th is sort o f th in g over the
country during the last few years.
Probably no one person or set of per
sons Is responsible for the excessive
use of the parole, but th e fact re
m ains that it has been over worked.
The Fagan case abundantly proves
It and It is to be hoped that the e x
perience w ill serve as a lesson to
those responsible for the law ’s ad
m in istration . T h e.sa fety of the pub
lic ought to be som ew here near as
im portant as the convenience of the
prisoner about to be released.
»
fects of the com bination are evident
in the first Issue of the Central Ore
gonian. It is carrying more new s
and more advertising than eith er of
its predecessors. It is goin g to give
the advertisers alt they were g ettin g
before and at a little more than half
tlie old cost.
P rin eville is to be congratulated.
H igher costs w ill force the w eaker
papers out of existen ce and bring
about com binations where econom ies
can be effected. The man who
starts new papers now, u n less there
is a real need for them Is up again st
a hard proposition.
The recent victory of Jack Demp
sey over Georges C arpentier was
thoroughly decisive but it does not
seem to have increased the populari
ty of that gentlem en w ith the public
-'ome m em bers of the Am erican Leg
ion are proposing th at the Legion
raise a purse to be given to any al-
‘¡ed soldier who takes the title aw ay
from Dempsey w ith in one year.
W hile lots of people would like to
-ee the champion lose out the gen
jral opinion is th at he is not Jikely
to do so. If we do not have another
war Mr. Dempsey w ill probably con
tinue as our forem ost fig h tin g man
for som e years.
Most any ex-service man could
ave assured the governm ent that it
would have no cause to worry over
low to get rid of 70,000 U. S. sold
ers who are Io be discharged under
tie new army reduction m easure. It
was feared that some of the boys
would have to be let out against
heir consent, th u s breaking the
overnm ent contract w ith them . No
d ifficu lty w ill be found, however,
or a poll of th e d ifferen t can ton
ments show that a large m ajority of
he soldiert- desire their discharge.
Just as we start work on th is job
he Oregon editors are h avin g tbeit,
nnual convention a t Bend, the
W ashington editors are h avin g theirf
t Mount Ranier and the M ontana
ditors are h avin g a convention a*
ila cier nation al park. A in ’t it great
to be an editor?
THE UNCHECKED SPEED COP
St. H elens Mist.
In our opinion the "speed cop" he
io more righ t to travel at a speed In
xccss of the state law u n less it be
vhen he is ch asin g a speeding auto,
han has th e lo w ly and hum ble tax
’ayer, w ho pays the b ill, builds the
oad and drives at the speed specified
>y law . Speed cops are necessary,
nt th ey should drive as they tell
■thers to do. T hey are a portion of
he stron g arm of the law and they
hould set an exam ple for the ordi
lary m otorist.
“ I have no information that leads me to believe there will be any reduction
of coat rates this season.”
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, »ay»:
” I have taken up the question with the Interstate Commerce Commission
and they informed me that they do not anticipate any reduction in coal
rates in the immediate future.”
E. Morris, Chairm an of the Central Freight Aas’n, »ay»:
“ Under existing conditions, no general reduction in the freight rates can be
justified or made effective.”
/
The above statements from men who know should
dispel the expectation that the present level of freight
rates on coal will be lowered this season. Any furth
er delay in buying on this account, therefore, can
mean nothing but trouble.
The coal mines cannot produce and the railroad
cannot transport a year’s coal requirements in four
or five montns. W hat is sought oy coal operators,
railroads and dealers, and what is for public welfare
is a normal demand and movement of coal —Not a
delay till winter and then an overwhelming rush.
In your own interest- BUY YCUR COAL NOW.
