Cigarette Fiends at Discount.
Published by request J

kEuUilbU6u ny Io4uOnbJ
The great world has small use for
the creatures in human form that
smoke cigarettes. Whether to pity
them for the injury they do them
selves more than blame them for the
harm they do in society is a problem.
They are an ungainly lot.
Chief Croker, of the New York
City Fire DEPARTMENT, has no use for
cigarette fiends When these chaps get
into the thick of smoke, their lungs
cannot stand the strain. Croker says
Il want some men with brains, yes /;
but want all of them with lungs. "
Looking among cigarette fields for
men with brains and lungs, too, is a
hopeless task. There may be some
traces of lungs among them, but the
brains, in large measure, never exist
ed.
Cigarette fiends are not wanted in
any position of trust or responsible
work. They are unreliable physically,
mentally and morally.
A boy or man who will give himself
over to the consumption of "coffin
nails" is simply expediting his steps
toward the coffin, and yet he is not tit
for the coffin or what is beyond the
coffin; he is no good in life, less good
in death, and worse off Of all after the
coffin gets him. $780,.
Boys especially who become addict
ed to the cigarette habit become slaves
to it before their thirtieth year, and
are so wrecked in mental and moral
status that the insane asylum is SAT-
er place for them than any home or
business office or working occupation.
More and more the brand of failure
is being stamped upon cigarette users.

THE REAL ISSUE.
BY Mary L. Geffs.

What is the real, bed rock issue OF
this campaign
The working man who arose at the
back of an audience being addressed
by William Howard Taft four years
ago and asked: ''What is working
man to do when he is out of employ
ment and starving, 4" stated the issue.
He stated it fairly and squsIely and
put it up to the candidate for presl-
dent in way it bad never been put to
candidete on capitalist ticket be-
fore. There was no dodging it. and
the vast audience and the starving
man awaited the candidates. answer.
They say the perpetual smile faded
and the candidates face took on an
expression of seriousness as he gave
the only answer he could give, and the
one that should never be forgotten by
the class to whom given. He said,
"God knows"
An apology would be due the public
for springing this ancient story at this
time but for the fact that it is not
among the things ancient that are past
and gone, 1t is the living soul of the
issue of this campaign and it is press
ing for an answer today with even
greater force than four years ago.
1t should be the slogan of the Social
ist party in this campaign, since the
Socialist party holds the answer.
Mr.. Taft not only acknowledged his
own ignorance in the answer he gave,
but he also acknowledged the utter in
ability of the party he represented to
meet the question. Mr.. Taft was
elected by the votes of the working
class. He could not have been elected
without. And if God knew four years
ago, He has not yet revealed the secret
to Mr. Taft, for today he is still un-
able to answer the question or meet
the issue it raises
There is but one answer to the ques-
tion and capitalism dare not give it.
IT would be suicidal. Socialism alone
can give it,

doesn't expect to find southern
California climate at an altitude
of 1000 feet.
We should encourage every
concern and enterprise working
for the development of this
country and assist all legitimate
efforts in that direction. The
business men of Burns and pub
lie spirited citizens in every part
of the big Harney Country do
this, yet it is not always appre-
ciated or needed by those whom
it is desired to benefit. The
'knocker" is given credit by
some timid seeker after invest
ments that would make a success
if he had more courage and
keener observation.
Practically every acre of Har-
ney Valley will be cultivated
within a few years and practi-
cally every acre of the Valley
will one day be covered by a
system of irrigation. This is in
evitable. Why. then, should
the people hesitate to invest in
moderately priced land when the
conditions are an assurance in
the immediate future?
Dry farming methods should
also be studied as this country
has a great future in this respect.
The bench lands are adapted to
dry farming and will produce
winter wheat equal to any grown.
Dry farm methods will also be
used in assisting to conserve the
moisture on the valley lands un-
til such time as the lower lands
will be covered by an adequate
system of irrigation.
New people should give heed
to the advice and experiences of
the successful man who has tried
honestly to farm in the Harvey
Country and whose practical ex-
perience has demonstrated what
can be accomplished.

LAMB LOSS NOT SO GREAT.
Mr.. Jenkins Telephones Ia That Weeks
Report was Greatly Exaggerated.

The Times-Herald hastens to
correct an error published in last
issue respecting the heavy loss
of lambs in the Steens Mountain
section. II was reported that
j. r. Jenkins had 'phoned his
brother Tom on Wednesday of
last week that he had lost 1900
lambs but Mr.. Jenkins called The
Times Herald Tuesday afternoon
over the phone from his Happy
Valley home and said it was a
mistake. The fact is Mr.. Jenkins
was not far enough along in the
lambing period to have that num-
ber of lambs. He says the loss
has been quite heavy compared
to former years, yet 1t has not
been to any such extent as re-
ported.
Mr.. Jenkins states il has been
the worst lambing season he has
experienced in twenty years on
the ranges of Harney County but
the weather had changed now for
better and the season had not ad-
vanced sufficient to make the loss
so heavy. as with good weather
from now on a good per centage
of the lambs can be saved.
Many will be pleased to find
the former report exaggerated
and The Times Herald certainly
does not want the article of last
week to mislead in respect to the
severity of the storms on the
sheepmen.

published, therefore voters are
advised as to this. The expense
is rather large to contemplate but
considering the need for fire pro-
lection and necessity for the
health of our people it is worth
while. Those who have studied
the matter feel that there will be
practically no advancement in
taxes as the amount now spent

CRGPTION RATES
THE SITUATION IN REALITY

Among the thousands who seek
homes in Oregon, it is inevitable
that a certain preparation should
fail, either through bad judgment
in choosing a location, neglect of
busines caution in buying land or
unwillingness to work when they
have bought it. The last cause
is the most frequent, for such
men on reading of large crops
yielded by Oregon land, too fre-
quently imagine that such land
can be bought for a song and can
be made to yield with little or
no work. When these men do
awaken to the truth that in Ore
gon as elsewhere, money cannot
be made without work, they be-
