ORROw COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
\ BUSINESS MANS PLACE.

Each days news brings further de.
mands on the people of Oregon tC
send business man to congress. The
ry of the government today is fol-
the assistance of men who have had
experience in business management
who have been successful in their
own business affairs. Such men are
virtually being drafted from business
circles to aid in winning the war.
One of the great difficulties has
been that there are few business men
in the national congress. In ordin-
ary times the profession of a mem
| Der of congress is not of such great
Importance as at the present time,
but, when all the energies of this ma
ton are devoted to winning the war,
the business man In the national con
gress is the one who can command
recognition.
Oregon will have chance this
year to send, as its representative
in the United Statse senate, one Of
its most successful business men.
rhe name of Robert N. Stanfield, can
didate for the Republican nomina-
tion as United States senator is
known over the entire Pacific North
west as one Of the biggest and most
successful business men in the en-
tire ection.
His business acuman, knowledge of
conditions, clear-sighted financier-
ing, have made him a place among
the big business men Of the day.
There are few men in the state of
Oregon who are so we'll acquainted
with the resources and needs Of the
state as Is Mr.. Stanfeld. There a:e
few with broader business spirit,
and there are few that can represent
this state in the national congress as
it should be represented at this time.
There is no doubt that Oregon has
been unable to put her entire power
behind the government so far. 1t
has not been because of lack Of 10y
atty on the part Of the people of the
state, but because no one who has the
ear of the authorities at Washington
has been able to put before them in
clear, comprehensive and concrete
manner the possibilities of this state.
That Is the need Of Oregon. A
man with a business mans view OF
the situation here and at Washing
ton. A man who knows what this
state has to offer, what need it has
for governmental assistance to make
it possible to put its whole strength
behind the government. and how to
put the facts before the authorities
in a shape which will demand for
them the attention to which they are
entitled.

JOIN THE HOME GUARD.

1t is well enough for us stay-at-
home fellows to talk enthusiastical-
ly OF what our boys are doing over
there. OF course We are proud of
them. But what are we doing to
back them up here at home? The
Heppner Home Guard, recently or
ganized, has duty to perform. Its
main purpose is to back the sheriff
up. In these times when the pro-
German, |. w. W. and the Bolshevik
are ramping up and down the country
ready to strike injury to the indus.
trial wheels of the nation when oppor-
tunity presents itself, it is we'll that
every community has an organized
body of men, sanctioned by and under
the supervision of the laws of the
state, to protect the life and prope,
ty of our people.
In fact 1t may be called a duty ey-
cry able bodied citizen in these war
times is called upon to fulfill. Our
men that have been selected and sent
over to France are being put through
daily drill that will fit them mental
ly and physically. as we'll as spiritu-
ally, to deal hard blows to the Hun.
We at home may have to deal with
the enemy in various forms, if not up-
on the field of battle. Crops must be
protected, The innocent must be
protected and the suspicious must be
watched carefully. We are approach
ing that season of the year when eter
nal vigilance is the only price which
we must pay for the protection of
life and property. If there is any
man In Heppner who cares little en-
ough about the rights and priviled-
ges which are his to enjoy, not to
stand up and fight for them we would
like to know who he is. We believe
after the male portion of our citizens
have given the Home Guard more
thought and come to realize what a
benefit it will prove in the end, they
Will hasten to become members.
Sixty enthusiastic men are marching
two nights each week in Heppncr,
Eventually they will become prof
cient in the art Of military drill aud
the manual of arms. They will make
an efficient body of men upon whom
the sheriff may call in any emergen-
cy When they 60 out to duty will
you be one of them? Its going to be
an honor to be a member of the
Heppner Home Guard.

THE SECRETARY OF WAR RE-
TURNS.

Every American whose heart is in
the war must hope with all possible
fervency that Secretary Baker has
come back from his trip to the front
cured of the bland and roseate cock
sureness that was so irritating in his
appearance before the senate military
committee. At present the cheif in
dictment against Baker is that by his
assurances that everything was lovely
with the United States war program
he seriously misled the bulk of the
people, who were not in position to
know that he was wrong and that
things were far from lovely. Optim
ism and deep-rooted confidence are
fine things, but only if they are back
ed up by facts.
There are, of course, plenty OF
things pointing to Bakers conversion
from his policy of cheerful deliber-
ateness. From him while he was still
abroad came instructions that result
ted in instant acceleration of the pro-
cess of sending American soldiers a.
cross the Atlantic. The call for Am
orleans to hurry must have come to
Secretary Haker, within sound of the
guns, with 10 times the force it had
when it reached the American peo-
pie as whole. We have an intima-
ton of conditions; the secretary of
war must know them.
Nobody wants him to have come
back downcast or desperate. No one
wants him to have lost his confidence
that things will be right in the end
But the country at large prays most
| devoutly that its secretary of war has
managed in the last month to have
the rose-colored lenses in his eye
glasses changed for clear crystal ones
and that he has adopted a new stand
ard Of adherence to facts in public
Observation-Disclosures
Z. D. Cusick is man whom the
Republican voters can support with
out hesitation. He has an excellent
record both as private citizen and
public servant. The state treasurer
is a member of the state board Of
control and this is most important
position. A vote for Mr.. Cusick will
be vote for an efficient administra-
ton in the state treasUrer's office.
