ORDINANCE 123
is AMENDED.
City Council Takes Off
Limit to Saloons.

At the regular meeting of the
city council, held in chambers or
Monday evening, all the members
were present except Aiken, and
after the usual routine business,
the reading for the third time of
Ordinance No. 127, brought that
instrument up for it's final pas
sage.
This ordinance bears title AN
ordinance to amend Section 7 Of
ordinance No. 1913, of the City of
Heppner, entitled, An ordinance
to provide for the licensing, tax
ing, regulating and restraining
the sale or disposal of spirituous
liquor, brandy, wine, and all
fermented and malt liquor, beer
and ale, and prohibiting the sale
or disposal of spirituous liquor,
brandy, wine, and all fermented
and malt liquor, beer and ale,
within the City of Heppner with
out a license, and prohibiting the
purchase or attempt to purchase
spirituous liquor, brandy, wine,
and all fermented and malt liquor,
beer and ale, the sale of which is
prohibited by this ordinance.
Section THE number of
licenses issued under this ordi-
nance shall not be limited to any
definite number. F."
AS will be seen this affects only
Section Z of the liquor ordinance
and removes therefrom the linn
itations on the number of licenses
that can be issued. 1t is under
stood that there will be at least
one more license granted but it is
doubtful if the present council
will allow more than six saloons
70 be run at one time.
Councilman Aiken presented
lis resignation and the same was
promptly accepted.

KEYSTONE FOR ARCH
OF MASONIC TEMPLE
Masons Have Cause for Congrat-
ulation Over Arrival Of Big
Stone After Delays

The stone from Solomon's temple
quarry at Jerusalem from which will
be carved the Keystone from the arch
above the main door of the Masonic
temple in this city, reached here
Monday morning after many ups and
downs. 1t was ordered by the local
Masonic lodge long enough ago 10

Its troubles. Everything seemed to GO
along reasonably well until it reached
New York. where it was held up in
the customs house on account of the
duty, which was $3.50. The duty
was paid and a hurry up call sent to
have the stone forwarded at once.
Through some misunderstanding there
was another delay of several weeks.
which caused a change in the pro-
gramas to the time that the stone
would be put in place.
1t will take some time to do the
carving, after which it win be placed
in its conspicuous place with cere-
monies betting the occasion.

The last word from Mexico is
that another revolution Ia due down
in the land where revolutions are
Indigenous Medero has not been sc
successful in sitting on the lid as
was anticipated at the tine of his
royal entry into tho national capital
There is even a murmuring among
the people and suggestion looking
toward the return of Diaz the dicta-
tor. All of which raises the ques-
ton as TO whether or not Mexico
is really ready for the burdens and
responsibilities of self government.
The country has long been a repub-
lie in name, but a monarchy in prin-
ciple. This was the estimate placed
upon the situation by the strongest
man the nation has yet produced and
evidence is lacking yet to show
that Diaz was mistaken or that his
actions were prompted by anything
less than the purest patriotism.

In Shelton

In Shelton we have some of the
"knocker" order who say the town
has been Killed" and those who re-
ANY believe such to be the case we
would sentence term of one week
in any othr town in the state, and
abide by their decision They may
say Shelton has no farming country
tributary, Yet the farmers really
make a good showing when the pro-
ducts of each are estimated at the
close of the season and a little bet
ter cooperation between the farmers
and business men of Mason county
would be better for all concerned
Yet the local markets are above the
average, the prices received by the
farmers as good as paid anywhere
and the farming community is as a
rule prosperous. This year the crops
are generally good, although some
fruits are light. and the prices
should be somewhat better than US
ual at this season.
AS for Shelton itself, we are aware
of no town in the state of Washing
ton which equals its financial con-
dition, or none which has longer en-
ioyed a more conservative admins
tration. Where is the town without
debt. or one with an equal water
system which is fully paid for and
producing surplus revenue of $3.50
month. or one which possesses a
sewer system covering the entire
town with a dept of only SIS, 900, or
one which has not a dollar of war

working men.-Mason County Jour

Be- adjusted by men who were experts
and disinterested. The last congress
acting along the same line Of reason
ing. created a commission TO make an
exhaustive study of the subject and
report, making recommen da lions to
congress.
This report will be forthcoming al
the next term, which opens in a few
months. But for partisan advantage
and with precipitate haste, the demo-
Gratis and some of the republica
propose TO force the issue, mainly
with the idea of putting the admins
trstion in hole. Tsfts position is
evidently 40 afe and sane that it is
quite certain that strong public
sentiment will sustain 1t when the
issue comes before the country for
settlement.

What is Justicen

The people of this city have been
shocked by the terrible tragedy that
took place in our Jail so recently
Almost every one has a comment, and
while they differ in some respects, it
is the universal opinion that Barney
McKeary should be placed on trial
for the murder of hts cell mate, VIM
O'Neil
We believe in the enforcement of
the law, but we believe all the law be
enforced in order that all men may
share equal.
If the names of the "old DRINKS"
had been placed on the walls of the
sa loons last winter, no doubt the
name of VIM. O'Niel would have
been among them and now would be
carefully erased because he is dead
The world will move on without this
man they called hobo" and even
the man who sold him the whiskey
that made him the helpless victim
of the assassin will soon forget him.
The money he probably begged to
buy his last drink is now in crcula-
his possession. wonder if it will
get into the collection in one of our
churches today or If 1t is lying
among the money in our city treas
ury.
Later there will be a trial of some
kind for Barney McKeary and some
judge will pass sentence that the peo-
pie will call justice E J. Kelley will
tell what he knows and the officers
who discovered the crime will add
their testimony against the prisoner.
The clothing of the prisoner will be

cause of the blood stains on it. even

What the woman Movement" Is

The movement for change in the
world wide, and the political part
of it is hardly more than a convent
ent side-issue. Whether women
shall be admitted to the suffrage is
not the core of the matter but rath-
er a section of 1t, and a vindication
of the social and economic restless
ness that pushes for change.
The deeper meaning of this uni
versal unrest is set forth with much
eioquence and passionate pleading in
Olive Schreiner's new book called
Women and Labor"
I'VE have called the woman's
movement of our age an endeavor
on the part of women among mod
of labor as the old slip from them,
as an attempt to escape from para
sitism and an inactive dependence
upon sex function alone: but viewed
from another side, the woman's
movement might not less justly be
called a part of a great movement
of the sexes toward each other, a
movement toward common occupa-
ton, common interests, common
ideals. and an emotional tenderness
and sympathy between the sexes more
deeply founded and more indestruc-
tible than any the world has yet
seen Words Work.

CURRENT
PRESS COMMENT



The following is from the Kansas
City Times: IF you have chance
some OF these hot nights go past
some one of the city's Fairgrounds
and watch the children swarnins
over it. At home 1t may be hot and
stuffy, and there may be no place &c
play except the street. But the play
ground is in the open. It is as cool
as possible, and there are all kinds
of facilities for having good time
The public Fairgrounds make the
difference between a good. wholesome
summer and a trying and depressing
one for thousands of Kansas City
children. On these Fairgrounds the
town has spent a quarter of million
dollars. The money is well invested.
1t is good to know that the Park
Board plans more investments of the
same sort
There's the spirit. that, in practice,
makes for the good citizenship of
the future. 1t is city activity and
an expenditure of the city's money
along lines that insure better health
and better morals for the boys and
girls of today who will be the men
add women of tomorrow. Money
well spent? There could be none
spent to better purpose
incidentally we have some park
money that might be spent here in
Portland-money that we need to
spend for Fairgrounds in some ade-
quate sense. The children of this
city as we consider their neighbour
hood needs. want the small park that
can be utilized as a playground. Not
one or two or three of these are
required, but score or more, The
children of every section of the city
should be accomm odated. The public
concern should be for all the chill
dren. and not for those Of any par
ticular neigh borhOod or section. The
Park Board should address itself to
the evolvment of comprehensive
plan ultimately to result in a chain
of such parks. distributed through
out the city. In every neigh borhood
there should arise a small-park sem
timent commensurate with the neigh
borhood need. The force of the sum
total of this sentiment should impel
the Park Board toward action

"DOing" Uncle sam

The cunning and finesse shown by
people who V ish TO defraud the gov
eminent of revenue duties is re-
marka nle. New York importers
have been especially successful at
this game. and the extent of their
operations may he gagged by the
fact that they were made to hand
over millions of dollars for duties
they had lodged. The italian lemon
importers are the latest to have
been eli cumvented. but the govern
ment had to revise the regulations
for the importation of lemons in or
der to head them off, and il took
ei~ht months to find out how to meet
the case. Aided by an almost I'M
limited "slush fund" put up by the
Sicilian lemon growers, and by very
shrewd and resourceful lawyers who
are spending money lavishly to buy
magazine and newspaper space, the
Italian importers are now seeking to
have the tariff revised in their in
terest, This is not the first time
foreign interests have tried to shape
legislation in congress, but 1t is one
OF the holdest. Meanwhile the only
thing that keeps lemons cheap is the
competition Of the homegrown arti-
Gle, which is really better than the
Sicilian.
