New SChooIr0Om Outfit.

These fine days, Superintendent E.
G. Brick is liable to bring up at any
schoolhouse in the county, for he has
a way of appearing unannounced.
And sometimes he gets left for this,
as a few teachers have been out, when
he called.
Not so when he arrived at Dist
No. 4, Harrison, one day last week.
Miss Katharine Cullen is the teacher,
and while it is her first school she is
doing excellently. As the superin-
tendent drew near the schoolhouse he
saw in rubbish pile what he thought
were old seats, and sure-enough it
was SO. An entirely new outfit of
the very best and latest seats-the
steel frame sets-has lately been in
stallei. Which is good for No. A.

Rev? F. E. J. Lloyd.

The citizens of Lancaster will be
interested to know that the honorable
gentleman who spoke in this city in
favor of saloons had beer deposed
from the Episcopal ministry by the
Bishop of Chicago.
After serving the Episcopal church
he Joined the Roman Catholic church
and then sought to rejoin the
Episcopal church but was not ac-
copied.
When he was elected to the Il
linois Legislature he promised the
superintendent of the Anti Saloon
League of that state that he would
vote and work for all dry measures,
but when he went to Springfield he
voted against all dry measures.
It Is not surprising he did not want
to tell much about his personal

drum arrangement, which had been
made while in port at Buenos Aires.
These drums allowed air to enter but
the entrance was made zigzag so no
light could be seen from without
After leaving Rio de Janeiro, which
we did at night, we came in sight of
the British cruiser Cornwall with
two scouts. This cruiser followed Us
two or three days, keeping just out
of sight, and then left US. She fol-
lowed as protector and hoping she
would see one of the German raiders,
knowing that our boat was good bait
since it was loaded with Argentine
chilled beef. We saw nothing, how
ever, before reaching Barbados in the
West Indies. From Barbados we
started on the home stretch and
fortunately encountered nothing but
cold winds Everybody shed their
white suits) and a mighty rough sea
which delayed US II days.
The captain of our boat was from
the S. S. Van Dyke which was COM
ing from South America to New York
and was captured by the Karlsruhe
off Pernambuco, Brazil. The Van
Dyke was a new 10000 ton twin
screw boat which also had a cargo of
chilled beef. The officers of the
Karlsruhe made the officers of the
Van Dyke sign an agreement never to
enter in contraband service again
under death penalty and for this
reason our captain was particularly
cautious.
q might say that our boat, while
IN New York, was to have its cargo
unloaded and inspected by U. S. in
spection officers and stamped so that
it would net be contraband of war.
1t goes from New York to Marseilles,
France, in the same boat.
We, however, were all interested
in the safety of the boat for the COM
pany sold us tickets at 80 per cent
advanced rates and attached printed
statements of no responsibility what
ever at sea on the part of the COM
pany. Every day the passengers
talked about the Karlsruhe and the
Argentines aboard soon learned to
say German boat.
After the rough weather we were
all glad to see old New York, and the
Yankee passengers more than any
others. As we got up early on the
morning of the 18th of March and
looked up the Hudson to New York,
we recited together:

State Supremacy.

Will Texas grow impatient and settle the
Mexican question for this country, is q question
that is frequently asked With it comes the
matter of state supremacy, which President Will
son has always respected
When Secretary Lansing wired the attorney
general of Arizona asking him to extend the re-
prieve of several Mexicans condemned to death,
sin view of the political situation i'm MexcO,"
he was bluntly informed that "the United States
has no right to interfere"
That was quite true, though not precisely to
the point. The federal government had not de-
manded reprieve, but asked it as favor, i'm or
der to facilitate certain delicate diplomatic ne'
gotations. And regardless of the merits of this
case, the fact that the Arizona officials could with
mpunity 1out the United States government is
something in which few citizens outside the To-
cality directly interested will take any pride or
satisfaction.
1t is the same trouble that was experienced i'm
California over the Japanese land legislation.
1t is the same trouble that occurred in Louisiana
few years ago when the Italian government,
angered by the failure at Washington to obtain
satisfaction for the killing of Italian subjects,
broke off diplomatic relations with this country.
Our federal government is supreme i'm theory.
1t has monopoly of the power to make foreign
treaties, but apparently lacks power to enforce
them when they clash with state rights. The
awkward situation is heritage of the mutual
jealousy of the thirteen original states.
The civil war'was thought to have disposed of
the old state rights doctrine. And yet today
states can, and do, assume the prerogatives of
sovereign governments in crises that endanger
the welfare of the nation. Though powerless to
make treaties, they may break them. Though
unable to declare war; they may by their indie
pendent action, bring on war.
1t is AN unpleasant and dangerous situation
for nation which prides itself on keeping it's
word, and which has lately had much to say in
condemnation of treaty-breakers. Yet it is
state sovereignty

Big Crop Stories.

The trouble with all the accomplishments of
honest crop raisers is that nobody will believe
their stories unless they see the accomplishment
of fourteen foot corn stalks and oats that man
may get lost in, such as will be seen at the Nal
heur County Fair
Kansas optmsts are to blame for much of 1t.
Take the story about Rev. Page The Rev.
Frank Page, according to the correspondent,
had driven to the town of Wright, few miles
north of Dodge City to conduct prayer meet
ing. He started back on foot, taking short cut
through fifteen hundred acre wheat field. AT
the prayer meeting he had offered up fervent
thanks for the bountiful wheat crop. The next
morning he had not arrived mt home. His
frightened wife began to make inquiries. Two
days passed, with no word or sign.
On the third day an old lady who had been at
the prayer meeting suggested that maybe the
pastor had got lost in the wheat field. party
started out, Systematically searching through
the grain-whch is higher and thicker than ever
before. At last one of the searchers heard
faint voice murmuring as if in prayer. Follow
ing the sound, he came upon the minister lying
exhausted and half delrious and repeating over
and over, Lord we thank thee for thy bOunti-
ful providence which has given us such plenti-
ful crop of wheat"
It's now time to hear from eastern Kansas
about that little girl who went into the field of
young corn with her fathers lunch and started
right but got lost because the corn shot up so
fast it obscured all the familiar land marks and
she never found her way out, We hope, though,
hat nobody will repeat the yarn about the boy
who got lost in the corntield and climbed up a
cornstalk to where the house was, and thus
got into more trouble than ever, because the
corn grew up faster than he could climb down.
Malheur county agriculturists raise bigger
crops than stories. When you visit the county
fair next month You can be "from Missouri" in
stead of Kansas to see mammoth agricultural
accomplishments.

The Coming of the Railroad.

The coming of the railroad to a new country
invariably means period of prosperity and de-
velopement. The people living in Central and
Eastern Oregon know this and are consequently
hailing with delight the extension of the o. w.
r.. & n. line beyond Riverside. The prosperity
that comes with the railroad is caused chiefly by
two things, the opening of way to market for
the products of the country, and the investment
of new capital i'm various business enterprises
1t is rather hard to get men with money, into
country very far from a railroad even when the
opportunities for investment are fairly good.
People who have all their lives lived near
railroad can scarcely realize though that the rail
road means more than material prosperity
The ordinary convenicnccs of our modern civil
ization depend largely on rapid transportation
Few people i'm these days are content to be with
out the news of the world and they expect it
within few hours after the events have happen
ed. Many things i'm the markets cannot be TAX
en- to country that is reached only by stage
lines excepting at great cost and inconvenience.
The automobile and telephone have made con-
dtions vastly different then they were some
years ago for the pioneers of the country but for
most Of the people the ordinary convcnienccs
which we regard as indispensable do not come
until the railroad is built.
There are other ways i'm which community
changes perhaps for the worse when transporta-
ton facilities are increased. The old neighbor-
y spirit is likely to disappear, while various fads
and fashions will be imported from the cities.
The new people who come do not fit into the old
er habits and customs and soon the old inhabit-
ants themselves are lost in the new tide
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1915-08-19

Travelling over the dusty roads day after day
and living in tiny tent hiked up on top of
wagon is not our idea of paradise, but it seems to
suit great many people, judging from the num-
Der of such outfits that one sees passing through
the town. We wonder sometimes where they all
come from and where they are all going. 1t GER
tainly is not cheap way to travel and it is GER
tain that the horses do not enjoy it. The life,
tOo seems rather uncertain as they scarcely ever
know where they are going to eat the next meal
or sleep the next night. The whole thing simply
presents another freak idea of the human mind
and we wonder at it in much the same way that
we wonder at a thousand other things that peo-
pie do, that seem to us utterly senseless and use
less

The Men and Greater Ontario.

being the second of series of sermons by Rev.
ID. f. Baker of the Baptist church,
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sim
ners against Jehovah exceedingly"
l. The next few years will witness marked
changes in this community is conceded by all.
In the last few years the spirit of progress has
laid hold upon our people. Things are moving
and the slogan is the creator Ontario"
/ shall in the next few addresses present some
ideas regarding the ideal which incorporate in
Il frank discussion of my conceptions of great
city, namely, the men.
2. The kind of men needed, and what men
shall do if we have the greater city, will be more
easily defined if previous question is asked,
'What do we mean by greater city?' If with
in five years population should extend to five
thousand and our wealth trebles, does il neces-
sarily follow that we shall have a greater city
than we now have? Population does not always
make greatness. Men should be weighed as
well as counted.
l. Greater Ontario.
To have greater Ontario we must at least
fulfill three cOnditiOns
i. We must increase our numbers with peO-
Pile who believe in the institutions upon which
amy community much depends for stability and
character.
1t would be terrible calamity if we were to
flood our community with men and women who
could lower the ideals. We want people who
love educatiOn who believe i'm honor, who rever-
ence law and who not only will develope nat
ural resources, but with the wealth wrested from
nature will upbuild this city in all things that
minister to the nobler manhood. In doing this
we make it possible for every citizen the pursuit
OF integrity and happiness.
2. Those who are concerned with greater
community will want to know what vocations
shall engage the energies of this larger pOpula-
ton.
He is short-sghted indeed, who fails to recog-
nize that material progress must make pOss-
ible the intellectual, spiritual and moral progress
OF the city. greater Ontario will be more con-
cerned about employing valuable brain and mon
ey in industries that actually yield wealth
and conditions for human happiness and intel
lectual growth, than it will be concerned about
schemes for looting men of their honor and
wealth and manhood. The men who are boost
ers for Ontario should be, to say the least unset
fish enough to keep in mind the sacred rights and
holy endowments of those who come to us seek
ing home We should help to make for the
larger population even larger privileges We
should see to it that no stranger shall be the Vie
tim of mprincipled seltishness
3. What is meant by the greater community
is this What monuments do the people of this
city want to stand as records of servicel When
our children and the children of strangers within
our gates shall inherit the products of our lab
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1915-08-19

The community, it seems, has not only recent
ly discovered that corn can be raised successful
ly here, but also that it is not necessary to 90 to
Atlantic City, or even to the Pacific. Coast for
good cold swim. Snake river has been patron
lied freely of late and the habit seems to be
growing as about hundred took plunge Sun
day afternoon. 1t may not be news at all to the
small boy or his anxious mother, but it may be
welcome enough to the man who would like re-
lief from the hot weather to know there is good
cool bath waiting at the end of mile hike to the
river.
