THE NEED OF THE HOUR.

The war has placed Uncle Sam in
the predicament Of a great depart
ment store owning nc delivery wag-
ons and not able to rent any. BY
this striking and homely figure Sen
ator Fletcher of Florida illustrates
the plight this country finds itself in
today without a merchant marine.
Since our trade grew apace In time
of peace without fleets Of u own,
and because of the foolish fear some
people have Of the word subsidy, we
now find ourselves in this awkward
predicament. With the great carry
ing nations at wal our trade is han
dicapped by the lack of a merchant
marine. Were we ourselves at war
our navy's operations would be even
more greatly handicapped by the
same lack. AS President Of the
Southern Commercial Congress Sen
ator Fletcher points out that cotton
is in demand in Germany at zoe a
pound, while in the South 1t Is sell
ing at 7c, that our cotton mills need

MORE BUGOLOGY.

1t was not enough that we were
bid aware of the m%ucilagious gum
arabic which Uncle Sam so %sparingly
spreads on the back of his postage
stamps, but now some bugaphobia
fellow must come prancing to the
front with the statement that in ev-
cry postage stamp we lick, there are
from seven to ten million bacteria.
Really, what's the use!
No man, young or old, unless he
is a mollycoddle, or scientifically bug
bound, is going to hold his hand, just
as he is about to lap up the star
board side of a postage stamp, not
even if there are twenty million OF
bacteria lying in wait for him instead
of half that number.
We will admit that there are
many things-very many things
more pleasant to the taste than the
subsurface of a postage stamp; but
the bugology fellows make no COM
plant on that cor With them, as
in contrast with normal humans, it
is not a matter of taste but the fear
of malignant millions of microbes
Just waiting for the chance to gnaw
our very vitals.
Yet, we are willing to bet even a
parcel-post stamp, that of the unac-
counted thousands who have DELHI
erately salivated the diverse sides Of
George Washingtons, General Jack
sons, Christopher Columbusses dis
covering a new world, and other en-
graved certifcations that you had
paid the price for postal service, not
enough in this broad land have sue
cumbed to the direct attack Of bac-
terra to make one undertaken rich.-

German chemicals and dyes and that
this exchange can only be carried on
in ships carrying the American flag.
Senator Stone of Missouri says that
the restoration of our shipping is the
burning question of the hour.
But the proposition for govern
m~ent-owned ships is not the best way
out of the situation. 1t may prove
the worst in this trying time of war.
This country once had a merchant
fleet which made the Stars and
Stripes a familiar sight in every port
of the world. We did not then have
to send our navies on cruises to let
the rest of the world see how IL
flag looked. This merchant fleet was
not owned by the government, nor
are the magnificent commerce car
riers of other nations, which have
crowded our vessels off the high seas,
government owned. Why not face
the fact that all great merchant
fleets have been created through
some form Of subsidy? A lot Of peo-
pie have been seized with spasms
when they have heard the word sub
sidy. 1t is about time common sense
reasserted itself. Our Southern and
Western friends, who have fought all
steps to build up a merchant marine,
now realize most acutely the need of
one. 1t is to be hoped the lesson Of
the war will have its effect. But
dor't let the Government go into bus
to drive others out.

EDITOR GREENE'S OBITUARY.

Editor R. l.. Greene, who has been
making a very newsy paper OF the
Spray Courier the past nine months,
bids his readers adieu in the follow
ing interesting valedictory:
With this issue of the Courier the
editor, his able assistant and the en-
ergetic devil must say adieu to the
patient readers Of this great paper.
The present Courier force has made a
great success Except financially in
the journalistic world, but the stock
holders are engaged in other lines of
business, hence the sale of the plant,
which leaves us out of a job. We
hear that Arkansas wants a mar who
will execute ten murderers, but this
is not inviting to men of literary
taste. We have the honor to intro
duce to the gentlemen readers of the
Courier Mr.. r. D. Price, the new
editor in chief, who will address you
next week. Mr.. Price is a bachelor
gentleman who refuses introduction
to the fair sex, and is too we'll known
in musical and literary circles
throughout the country to need any
recommendation at our hands. The
fact that the new editor is also a
single mar is evidence of better judg-
ment than is possessed by the ordin-
airy man. The retiring force desire to
extend their sincere thanks for the
encouragement which we have been
given by the subscribers during our
connection with this paper, and we
are grateful indeed that we have not
been sued for libel, although we
would have considered it an honor to
have anyone think that they could
recover damages from us. And we
are exceeding grateful to the Four
Hundred, the Needle Craft and vari-
Gus other ladies organizations which
have kindly invited our hungry re-
porters to their great feasts, that
they might receive favorable mention
in these columns. We take great
pleasure in ~bespeaking for the new
editor the hearty cooperation and
loyal support of the reading public.

ciety is of great value. Evil Gus
toms and ideas have been allowed to
grow up among the people; many Of

many matters pertaining to life and
health that they should know; par
ents, through false modesty and igno-
rance fail to give proper instruction

FARMERS AND THE UNEM.
PLOYED.

A great deal of loose talk is heard
about the capacity of farmers to pro-
vide work for the unemployed. Many
persons seem to believe that a farm
er's business can be entrusted to any
body who happens to come up the
road and all will go well with it. The
unemployed w%anderer will get a job
and the farmer will be enriched by
the product of his toll.
AS a matter of fact, most work on
the farm requires a certain degree of
expertness. 1t is rough and a great
deal of it is irksome, but it makes
demands upon the intelligence and
character Of the man who under
takes to do it.. Farmers who call
upon the city employment Offices for
men in emergencies seldom obtain
help whom they can depend upon.
The ordinary man who takes a job
on a farm is shiftless and incapable.
He often fails to understand his or
ders when they are given, and If he
does understand them it frequently
happens that he is too lazy to obey
them. Farmers cannot feel certain
that the miscellaneous help whom
they hire will feed their stock regu-
larly, milk the COWS properly, or hon
estly perform any other work that is
entrusted to them.
The farmers hardest problem is to
obtain reliable help. His disappoint-
ments in this matter are so frequent
that he is excusable for believing that
honesty is an extremely rare virtue
among the drifting unemployed.
All this indicates that there has been
an extensive propaganda among un-
skilled workingmen of the doctrine
that nobody should do more work
than he must. Earn your money as
easily as you can" is the new gospel
which is preached to laborers.
1t is a destructive gospel from the
farmers point Of view and it leads
him to depend more and more on
machinery and as little as possible
upon human help. Nobody welcomes
mechanical devices more eagerly than
the farmer, for machinery will not
malinger or cheat. 1t takes orders
without grumbling and obeys them to
the letter. The farmer of the future
will not hire many floating" hands.
He will do his work with the aid of
gas engines and tractors.-Oregonian.

ings and his addresses have been
spoken of in the highest terms by
those who attended. A greater in

Express Appreciation.

The Jewell Greenhouses Of The
Dalles showed their appreciation Of
patronage received at various times
in the past by the Rebekahs and Odd
Fellows of Heppner, by sending up a
nice box of flowers for the Geo. w.
Wright meeting Of last week. Dur
ing the course Of a year the Jewell
Greenhouses received considerable
patronage from Heppner ard they
show by their action Of past occa-
sions that they are not slow to ap-
preciate that patronage.

is really struggle for supremacy be-
tween these two men. This shows the
danger of one-man power. No such
power should in this twentieth century
be permitted to exist by the people Of
any country. / say, down with the
one-man power rulers-they have had
their day and should become a bygone
for the safety and happiness of the
people of the world. If the European
nations continue to fight among them
selves, as the Mexicans have DONE
they will weaken themselves in men
and money, as we'll as prestige, and
liar to Rome when overpowered by the
barbarians, as through the weakness of
their armies and money facilities they
will become feeble. The east (China
and Japan) will gain correspondingly
in military and money strength, which
will encourage them to combine to
overthrow these once great nations,
and, maybe, who knows to the con-
trary, bring about another dark age
period History repeats itself. Their
only safety is for them to follow the
example of the United States and do
away with the one-man power (war
lords, so-called) and make the basis Of
their governments Of the people, for
the people and by the people. Then
thew will stand Sunrame for at least
another century.

STATES TO BUY SILVER.
Urged to Purchase White
Metal to Help the Miners.

The conditions prevailing in regard
to copper mining in the west We're
called to attention of congress today
by Senators Thomas of Colorado
Pittman of Nevada. and Walsh of
Montana. kilograms were read In the
senate from Governor Ammons of
Colorado and the president of the Mine
Owners association, Tonopah, stating
that smelters now propose to pay but
25 cents per ounce for silver on receipt
of ores and the balance when the mar
ket price of silver is established. This.
it is asserted, will close mines ar'
smelters throughout the west. Rene
dies suggested were that the secretary
Of the treasury shall purchase 25,OOO,-
900 ounces of silver at the latest silver
quotation, or that the secretary be In
structed to purchase for stated time
all silver from American mines at not
less than the average price received
during the past IL months. Governor
Ammons' telegram suggested that the
treasury department be urged to pur-
chase silver and maintain the price at
SO cents per ounce or better. Senator
Walsh called attention to the closing
of the Great Falls smeter and Butte
copper mines on account of the war
situation and said that as silver and
gold form the by-products Of many
copper mines the production of the
precious metals would be greatly dim
inished. 1t is expected the western
members will endeavor to obtain leg
islation directing the treasury depart
ment to purchase silver for coinage
into subsidiary coin in order to relieve
the situation.

AUTOMOBILES in WAR
Boise Statesma n

For the first time on large scale
the automobile will take a prominent
place in the game of war, and it is
likely to prove most powerful factor
in striking quick and striking hard.
Take for example the present the
alter of military operations in Europe,
the country around Belgium and the
French frontier.
This country is crss crossed with
the best of automobile roads. During
the regime Of the great Napoleon
among other things that gave him
permanent fame not only as a warrior
and statesman but as master build
er, who built for all time, was his road
system suggested no doubt by famll-
iarity with the Roman system of roads.
Napoleon began the construction of
roads all over his territory and more
especially in France and nearby prin-
cipalities on a grand scale His sys-
TEN included national states and
county roads and large sums of money
We're spent even in his day in the
building of roads. His good example
has been followed ever since then by
the French people who not only have
kept up the pace set by Napoleon but
have added some features of improve
ment suggested by modern science as
to road building and moreover have

repair that is as essential in any good
road system as the building of the
