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.

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD—
WHEN SHALL IT BE?
By DR. JAMES E. 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.
