POLITICAL POT snNlERlNG.

The Morrow county political pot is
slowly simmering. but gives promise
cC rising TO the Boiling point most
any timc tuo,hor candidate has
SHE'D his pro~erbial hat into the pro-
verbal rims. bringing the total of a.
vowed candidates up to five at this
time. J. J. Wells, who has been ser
wing the county efficiently as asses
sor seeks a continuation of his Off
cial toga, and regardless of the fact
that he is a democrat in a strong re-
publican county, present indications
are that the opposition will have a
hard time finding a man strong en-
ough to beat him. Mr.. Wells will
have the democratic nomination han
ded to him and whether or not he
will meet with opposition in the re-
publican ranks remains to be seen.
Considerable speculation has been
going the rounds also as to who will
be Judge Patterson's successor. AL
though the Judge has been urged to
run again, he has definitely decided
that he will not. Among those men
toned most prominently to fill the
judgeship is w. T. Campbell Mr.
Campbell served as county commits
sioner and made an excellent record,
especially in road matters. However,
no definite statement regarding the
matter has been coming from Mr..
Campbell. Others who have been
''rumored" are L. W. Briggs, Jos. T.
Knappenberg and Chas. B. Cox.
At the present angle, it appears
that G. A. Bleakman will have no op-
position for the republican nomina-
ton for commissioner, and as the
time for filing announcement of can
didacy will soon be at hand. the
"would-be's" must hurry along The
last two weeks will probably find the
woods we'll filed with aspirants and
lively contest may result.

BOYS MUST BE GOOD.

Along with the bootlegging pro
secutions, local authorities have been
taxed to their wits end in ferretine
out and running down certain law
less element of youngsters of Hepp-
ner ranging in age from IA to Is
years.
Petty thefts have been committed,
automobiles have been stolen and
"ditched" costing the owners not a
little money and trouble in repairs !;
stores have been broken into and ar
ticles taken, cash registers rihed
and other acts of mischief and wrong
doing performed.
All these boys, and the officers
know pretty definitely who every one
of them are, come from we'll known
and respected families of Heppner.
The boys for the most part, are good
boys gone wrong under improper in
fuence of one or two of "the bunch
who hold sway as leaders. An evil
suggestion once made, is thought
lessly carried to its conclusion and
unless the boys are taken in hand
and given the proper punishment and
advice at this time, the apparent sue
cess of their raids will lead them on
to bolder things and eventually the
state will lose not only some good
citizens in the making, but will be
out the cost of caring for a criminal
element in later years.
The peace officers are making ey-
cry effort to show the boys the errors
Of their way and punishment
this time will be light. Future mis-
demeanors will bring down the heavy
hand of the law.
This paper has the names Of the
miscreants but for the reason that
the boys are being given another
chance. the names are withheld. Le-
niency will be shown but once, and
the parents of these boys should
wake up to the fact that they owe
t'am something this time at home,
and visit to the woodshed would be
the proper thing. We have no doubt
but what, in some instances, father
and son have already met there.

The fear of many drafted men that
they would not be given opportunity to
win Officerships very fortunately is not
being realized. The method of select
Ing candidates for the new officers
training camps is eminently fair to
the men in the ranks of the regular
army, the National Guard units and
the new National army. Every man
who aspired to promotion was given
opportunity to get his shoulder straps,
the best man to win. Perhaps a few
cases of favoritism may have crept in,
but they will not last long under the
trying conditions of the training
schools, and eventually all the unfit
will have been eliminated, says Har-
risburg Telegraph. The big thing is
that the new officers will represent all
walks of life, and that there is chance
for the humblest nan in the ranks to
rise to distinction, merit alone being
the standard.

TYPES FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.

The close approach of the time when
American soldiers will be doing their
full share of the fighting is again sug-
gested in the wedding out of officers
who show even the slightest deficiency
under the application of our army's
physical standards. And it is interest
ing to note that a number Of officers
whose physical fitness had never been
questioned before are now being dis
charged from the service or so side
tracked that they will not by any
chance find their way to the battle
fronts of Europe. In this great care
to send "over there" only such men as
can endure the maximum of strain and
hardship we have an %eloquent intima-
ton of the severity of modern wal
conditions, says Savannah News. Sure
ly there has not been a war in which
the nerves and physical stamina of the
fighters were as sorely tried. Especial
ly in the case of the officers has the
burdensomeness of the job been in
creased. From the commanding gen.
eral on down, the officers are subject
ed to a degree of strain that only the
hardest can endure. Americas man.
power has not been really taxed yet,

From O Scientist
To the Editor Of woman's Page:

Dear Madam--Do members OF a family
really love each other? When first saw
those lines in the woman's department Of the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDoBR on December II
took my interest as being such an apropos
question in these warlke times of ours. II
can be answered In a few words. Members
Of a family do really love each other and
other. or you may put It this way: Every
member OF a family makes the family what
II Is. good or bad, according to the single
influences exerted. Each member likes his
home according to Its comforts, and It ia the
yame way with love reciprocated. For real.
man can love a beastly man. not even hts
own brother. Yet q mother will try to cor
rect n child she dearly loves by beating H.
If that child Is bad she can easily do it,
but if the child Ia generally good her con-
science lessons the punishment. Neither love
aor conBeniality is shown in home where
6ne or more members have too many faults
and even crack a Joke at funeral and stu
have deep love In his heart for the departed
and the bereaved family. Ignorance or
Buper-nervous temperament might cause
such acts without the slightest feeling OF
doing any one n wrong as a means only TO
friend: yet It might also cause family
row.
Love IN always less In family in pro-
portion to the unworthness of trust In Its
Individual members: but as long as man
has a heart no must have love In more or
less degree for all members of mankind
and even for animals that reciproeate love
violent dyspepto. Open house Is a GOOD
cure. and etrls get rid of that bored look
w. p. B., d. D. s.

THIS "AUTO" PARTY
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
1t Kept Every One at the Sun
day-School Entertainment
Laughing Three Hours

The following party kept a Sunday
school gathering, ranging in age from
seven to seventy, in a roar Of laughter
for three delightful hours.
The large primary room in the base
ment was used and was decorated to
represent the exterior of an oil station.
Broad bands of red, white and blue
bunting circled the walls and wound
about the pillars, with here and there
a sign. such as, Gasoline, twenty-eight
cents a gallon" 'Tree Air." etc. Strings
Of red. white and blue crepe paper pen
nants crossed overhead and fiuttered
gayly in the lightest breeze. A few dis
carded tires provided local color.
License tage, with the State emblem
and a number. were pinned on each
person at the door. and each guest was
instructed to write his name upon HIS
tag
Colored advertisements of seven we'll
known cars, the names Of which con-
tained eight letters respectively. had
each been cut into six pieces, and the
pieces Were given out to the guests /;
grown-ups and children received pieces
OF the same auto.
1t was announced that the first auto
assembled would receive a prize, and
the Ice was broken at once in a spirited
search for missing parts" Each MEM
Der of the winning group was given a
pillbox Allied with small white candles
resembling miniature tires, tied with
red. white and blue baby ribbon.
Every group then retired to more
or less secluded spot, and composed an
eight-line acrostic. the first word Of each
line beginning with one of the eight
letters Of its auto name" These
PONIES" were very funny, and were read
aloud amid hearty applause. A standing
vote was taken to determine the prize
