TO AID PEACE OFFICERS.

A meeting of representative citi-
Zens of Heppner on Friday evening
last took up the discussian of the sub
ject of law enforcement and the for
nation OF a civic league, or some
similar organization, having in view
the creating and maintaining of a
healthy public sentiment for law en-
forcement in the City OF Heppner and
throughout Morrow County. This
meeting was addressed by our County
Attorney and Sheriff. and our City
Attorney and Mayor, each Of whom
made it plain that he was in favor OF
law enforcement, but each in turn
showing how difficult it is for public
servants in these offices to perform
their duties and enforce the laws and
bring offenders to justice, in face of
a public sentiment that is not willing
to back them up. While there is a
sentiment of this kind it is almost
impossible to get evidence in certain
CuStS dllu UIlll5 doOul NOlNiStioAio'
This has proven handicap to officers
fully disposed to do their duty and
obey their oaths Of Office. This pub
lie sentiment should be changed off
cials disposed TO do their duty should
be made to feel that there is behind
them a strong force of law abiding
citizens, ready at ali times to back
them up and furnish any evidence
within their knowledge that will
bring offenders into court, and after
getting them there assist in convic
tions. This kind of public sentiment
will soon bring about proper condi-
tions. At the meeting mentioned
above, strong endorsement was given
the stand taken By our officials, and
promise given to support them in
their work in every legitimate way.
The fact was not overlooked that
officers, on the other hand, should
not hide behind the excuse of having
no public sentiment favoring their
enforcement of laws and performing
their plain duty. 1t sometimes hap
pens that this is the case, and then it
is tha. public official is not public
servant. We believe that we have
none of this kind in our county, and |
the men entrusted with preserving
the peace and dignity and upholding
the laws of the state and municipal
ity will do all that they can in this
respect Let the righteous citizen
ship of the town and county support |
them in their efforts by strong or
ganization standing for law enforce
ment.

THE POWER OF PUBLICITY.

An Oregon country editor has sug-
gested-professedly in spirit OF per
sifage-a solution for tie problem
of regulating shipments of liquor to
individuals after the prohibition
amendment takes effect. He would
compel the wouldbe purchaser Of in
toxicants to advertise his intention
in the newspapers of his city, to-.
gether with the amount of liquid
trouble he contemplates laying in.
By displaying a copy of the adyer-
tisement and identifying himself as
the person who caused it to be print
ed he would be entitled to receive
shipments without further red tape
We suspect that this country ed
itor's motives are not wholly un-
mixed. Advertising is his business
and he would naturally not be ad-
verse to collecting a tax from the
bibulously inclined of his commun-
ity. Nor can we blame him, for bus
mess is businessmen though some
of our radical lawmakers are in
clined to regard it as crime.
Nevertheless, the author Of this
plan displays considerable shrewd
knowledge of human nature. II
prospective indulgers in the cup that
cheers were required to publish their
to the world at large their
thirst would doubtlessly be greatly
reduced. Frequent and public an
nouncements of intention to restock
the cellar can hardly be regarded as
credentials for admission to the best
society in these days. Moreover, il
such a law were strictly enforced,
the wicked and low-broWed bootleg
ger would be compelled to advertise
his business abroad-and bootlegging
is one business in which advertising
does not pay.-Eugene Register.

BILLY SUNDAY AND BOB

orary theft" Billy Sunday responds
that he didn't mean to steal from
Agnostic Bob Ingersoll, whose
fowery oration on war veterans pass
ed for his own before old soldiers.
That speech was donated to Billy by
fervent admirer--he has hundreds
of 'em sending in fine sermon ma
terial" all the time-and, like Mon
taigne, he takes his own wherever
he finds it. Steal words and style?
Never. If sinners find a resemblance
between the things he says and the
language of lngersoll, Talmage and
Sam Jones, it must be because those
discoursers on the soul happened to
think and speak just as he thinks
and speaks now.

CITY SHOULD DO 1T.

Our City Council is at present dis
cussing the making Of an ordinance
governing the construction of build
ings and sidewalks within the city
limits. These are matters properly
coming under the direction of the city
and should be controlled in a manner
looking to uniformity in the building
and parking of sidewalks and safety
in construction Of business houses
and dwellings. There being no
adequate laws in the city covering
these matters, this move is in the
right direction There is much i'm
provement contemplated over the
city; it is the air, and the people are
planning new walks, which will
doubtless be largely CT concrete; new
residences and business houses ore
in contemplation and will no doubt be
constructed, and these should be put
up under permits from the city that
certain regulations might be carried
out. At present, anyone so disposed
can put up most any sort of build
ing in any part of the city, regardless
of whether it is suitable to the sur
roundings or possesses any elements
of permanency or safety. AS result
fire risks are increased and insurance
rates advanced. Heppner is big
enough to protect herself against
these things and the city fathers will
be congratulated upon taking action
along these lines.

style. Doesn't his gospel gun shoot
straighter than Ingersoll's agnostic
rhetoric? Why, it's loaded with
rough on rats, ipecac, rock salt, dyna-
mite and barbed wire. No doubt he
could get off a line of talk-thanks
to the donated sermon material
that would make a Greek professor S

that people don't want that line of
conversation. 1t isn't hot enough

CANCFR-A DISEASE or MANY
FORMS.

People commonly think of cancer
as a single definite disease, as dis
tinct and uniform in its nature and
symptoms as appendicitis or typhoid
fever. This is msconcepton. 1t Is
nearer the truth to regard cancer
as the name of a group of quite diff
terent diseases which have one fea-
ture in common. 1t has been said
that the layman'S conception Of can
Ger is of something very indefinite
very portentious. quite hopeless. a
disease which always affects someone
else than himself, and about which
he carries no immediate interest or
responsibility. If this is fair state
ment, the layman is wrong on prac-
.ically every count, and his error and
confusion is probably due, in no
small part, to the failure to take ac-
count of the many forms Of cancer.
If this were done, perhaps the pa
.ient would not so frequently yield
O despair and throw away the eX-
eellent chance of cure that exists
when the disease is first discovered.
AS a matter of fact cancer in
.he light of modern knowledge of
human ailments, is almost as general
and vague a term as fever The
word covers a number OF entirely dis
.inct diseases, differing widely in
their origin, symptoms, treatment
and durability. The various kinds of
.umors have little in common except
hat they are all forms OF new and
,awiess growths of body cells.
This false notion of cancer as
single disease has probably hindered
progress toward the understanding
and control of the various diseases
which are conveniently grouped un-
der that term. All forms Of cancer
are aspects of new and lawless cell
growth, and it is the inner nature or
cause" of such growth that we dc
not yet understasd.
The essential point for the man in
he street is that each different kind
0f cancer is a.separate disease. II
he is SO unlucky as to be attacked
by any one of them, it would be well
before becoming discouraged to 60
and find out which form he has. If
he is taken with a "fever" and it
happens to be German measles, his
If it chances to be virulent smallpox
So, also, a rodent ulcer on the lace
is quite different from cancer OF the
stomach. And lastly while one is
a more serious disease than the 9th
er, there is always hope II it is rec
1gnized and treated at once. Why
not give the surgeon the same chance
with cancer as he has with appended
lis? Suppose all symptoms Of that
disease we're neglected and hidden
until the appendix had burst? Doubt
less the surgeon would still save a
certain percentage of cases, but
would the record be anything like ii
S now? It is the intelligent coopera-
ton of the patient and the family !
physician that has conquered appen-
licitis. and the same weapons are
even more needed in the fight against

BACK TO THE SHERIFFS.

The collecting of taxes will now go
back into the hands Of the Sherifs.
This change in the order of things is
brought about by the passage by the
Senate on Monday evening of House
Bill No. IA, which makes the Sheriffs
tax collectors. An emergency clause
attached makes the bill effective i'm
mediately upon its being signed by
the Governor. For the past two
years the Treasurers of the counties
have been the tax collectors, and as
consequence a large amount of
work was added to their duties,
necessitating the hiring Of deputies
and adding costs which the taxpay-
ers have had to meet. At this session
of the Legislature, numerous bills
have been up asking for Increase in
the pay Of County Treasurers, but
nothing looking to the pr0portionate
reductions in the salaries of the
Sheriffs. The Legislature had this

NEW HOPE

New Hope, Dec. 20.-Well, the old
year is nearing the end and everyone
is looking forward to Christmas. What
wonderful memories the word Christ
mas" awakens! What emotions it
stirs! What childhood memories of
high hopes and thrilling mystery and
wonder and rapt delight as Christmas
approaches. And 1915? What does
that mean? 1t means that for 10
centuries the comparative few who
knew the story kept it to themselves,
enjoyed it's benediction, and left the
many to sit in darkness even until
now. But it means also, does it not,
that at last our vision has expanded
and our love has grown so that we
can never be content till all have heard
the Christmas story and share with US
it's blessings?
There has been five burials at our
