USE THE MICROSCOPE THIS TIME the retirement of Justice Sutherland W ITH from the Supreme Court, on the eigh teenth of this month, it will leave a vacancy to be filled, on the recommendation of President Roosevelt. This recommendation will be handed to the Senate for their approval. For the sake of all of us, it is to be hoped that the Senate will not duplicate the “boner” that they made in approving the appointment of Justice Black, and then finding out that he had been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Had the Senate gone about the business of a few direct questions on subjects of that sort they may have had a better idea as to the man they were approving for this high office. It is our belief however that in a lot of cases the “wailing and gnashing of teeth” was pure political smoke screen. , ' ‘ When this recommendation is handed to the Senate, the candidate should come well prepared for a gruelling questioning, not only as to his professional fitness for the position, but a chro nological history of his private life. The recent appointment, and it’s after effect, must still rancor in the breasts of some of the Senators, who sat back, asked no questions and then tried to put the blame on some one else’s shoulders, when it was found that there was objection to the appointment, from their constituents. It is a safe bet that on this appointment the senators will have no “out’ and should get out their microscopes! ------------------ + ------------------ THE I.O-N—LET’S COMPLETE IT! the recent organization of an W ITH association called the U. S. Highway 95 Association, it may be well to set forth some of the aims of that organization. Primarily, the motive back of it is the completion of the Idaho-Oregon-Nevada high way, which road will give this part of Oregon and the western part of Idaho1, a direct road to California markets. This association has no axes to grind. It is composed of men from practically all cities, that have visions enough to see that by opening the roads to California for our farmers, that each city will benefit by the increasing prosperity of those same farmers. Prosperous fanners means more money to spend in the cities. It has been our belief, and it still is, that the I-O-N is one of the most important highway projects in this part of the state. Of course there will be those who1 are opposed to this road. That would only be natural. But if those who do hold such opposition, will stop for a moment and consider the plight of the farmers, in getting their produce to market, it may soften that opposition. As it stands now the routes open to the markets are limited to two, one to Portland and the other through the center of the state, with its mountain range to contend with. As to the Portland market it cannot be gainsaid that, there the market is neccessarily limited, where in the California markets we may have two choices, one in San Francisco and the other Los Angeles. San Francisco and the surrounding territory has a combined population of almost two million. Los Angeles territory has well over three million. These markets would welcome our “row crops,” and this farming section will, as the years progress, become more and more a vegetable raising community. It will be a necessity. In fact that very thing, rotation of crops, is strongly urged by the Amalgamated Sugar company. And no company has ever come into this terri tory with the welfare of the fanner so much at heart. To be successful at this rotation the fanner must have easy and quick access to large markets. The I-O-N is the answer to that phase of the Snake River valley farmer. This newspaper is for the completion of the I-O-N. Its columns are open for any suggestion or comments. , __....

TALMAGE Of the Council of the Twelve. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah. Submitted by Malcolm J. Crawford Nyssa LDS Church The eventual resurrection of every soul who has lived and died on earth Is a scriptural certainty. The resur rection consists of a literal and mat erial re-embodiment of spirits fol lowing their post-mortal experience in the spirit world, whether this shall have been the freedom and joy of Paradise or the restraint and remorse of the prison house. We are destined to exist through the eter nities beyond the resurrection with spirit and body reunited. Only in such union is a fullness of glory, op portunity, and achievement possible. Thus spake the Lord Jesus Christ to the Church in 1833: "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element. Inseparably connected, receiveth a fullness of joy. And when separated, man can not receive a fullness of Joy.” (Doc trine & Covenants 93:33-34.) The word of ancient Scripture af firms beyond any reasonable ques tion or doubt that Jesus Christ, who has been exalted to authority and power by the side of His and our Eternal Father, exists as a Spirit clothed in an immortalized body of flesh and bones: for in such a body did He manifest Himself after His resurrection; and in that same body did He ascend from Olivet in the full sight of the apostles, while angelic attendants solemnly pro claimed: "This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as y# have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11.) When the Savior does so return. His body will be found to bear the marks of the cruel piercings re ceived on Calvary; and He shall say: "These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded In the house of my friends. I am he who was lift ed up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God ” (Doctrine and Covenants 45 52.) The Eternal Father is likewise a Spirit tabernacled in an immortalis ed "body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s.” (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22.) So shall it be with every one of Ood’s spirit children who has been born in flesh; he shall be resurrect ed in flesh; for, through the infin ite Atonement, physical death is but a temporary separation of spirit from body But though a fullness of Joy eternal is possible only to resurrect ed being», not all shall find that ineffable happiness. To the contrary many shall be consigned to anguish OPINIONS his belief. The writer of the article should get in touch immediately with President Roosevelt and explain to him that "our solution to all human problems lies in our scientifically understanding that good alone is real, and that evil is a lie.” Mr Roosevelt has been laboring under the delusion that providing work for the million idle workers, taking care of one third of our pop ulation which he says is undernour ished working over these sixty fam ilies which are said to be running our government, Just to mention a few things, were real problems. He will be glad to learn that the solution to all of them, “lies in our scientifically understanding that good alone is real and that evil is a lie.” The writer also assures us that the operation of truth in human con sciousness begins at once to dissolve all discord into nothingness.” Christian Science was Instituted about sixtyfive years ago. If it be true that Truth begins at once to dissolve all discord into nothingness it seems to be rather slow in oper ation assuming of course that Christian Science is true and after all those years there still seems to be considerable discord regarding its teachings.

ONE OF TWO THINGS By Congressman D. Worth Clark It is high time that we in con gress and in governmental positions, have the courage to admit that in the process of bringing about a re* covery and reform in the past four years, we have made mistakes. It is high time that we tell the truth about these mistakes and seek to correct them. We are now faced with what we choose to call a recession. At the moment it is perhaps not un duly alarming. This statement is true despite the fact that the farm er’s crops are bringing him little more than the cost of production, and unemployment is again mount ing rapidly. We hope and pray that it is only a recession and that it will not reach the cataclysmic propor tions of the depression of a few years back. America, however, stands at the cross roads. We. who are charged in varying degrees with its management, have never had a greater responsibility. This country can not stand another crash of 1932 proportions. The very nerves of our farmers, laborers and business men will inevitably snap. The result will be one of two things: Communism and Stalin, or Fascism, Mussolini and Hitler —Owyhee Chronicle.

BUSINESS AND “BIG” BUSINESS The President’s message to Con gress on Monday was well received over the nation and in congress. The opposition press was left dangling in the air and editorial comment floundered in a bewildered sort of agrément. Criticism by the more hard headed was reduced to mere quibbling. Many newspapers have been mis led and in turn misled readers concerning the policies and intent of the administration. In particular the President has never indicated an opposition to business in gen eral. His fight has been against some of the dangerously powerful wealthy who. he believes are abusing their power. Other Presidents in the past have held this same opinion. Herbert Hoover, during the early part of the late depression, voiced the belief in a round about way when he called the business leaders of the nation into a conference and urged them to take steps which would relieve the growing economic distress. There is much for study in Presi dent Roosevelt's talk. Propaganda attacks have already begun which are designed to turn the people against certain of the recommenda- ions made. It is significant that nothing in the way of constructive suggestion is offered.—Grants Pass Bulletin.
