KEEP COOL.

The agitator is abroad in the land,
agitating. He is not trying to settle
.hings down but TO stir them up. He
is engaged principally in finding
fault and in telling how bad things
are. He talks great deal about
abuses" and rights; about priv
LEGGED classes" AMI the "downtrod-
den"; and he hints darkly about
doing something" He talks most
ly in generalities, but his illustrations
are concrete and there is just enough
truth in what he says-or seems to
say-to make the whole thing dam
7erous, particularly now when moth
ing is as we'll established as most
'hings ought to be.
The agitator himself has seldom
succeeded, but he asks and usually
gets a following because he is his
own demonstration Of the seeming
ruth Of what he says. Besides, there
IS queer psychological kink in us
hat leads us to react sympathetically
% the one who tells US that we have
been abused; and 50 II is that the agi-
.ator, If he be ready of tongue and
GOOD mixer, usually succeeds in
rounding up a respectable number Of
admirers who follow him, and gen.
orally to disaster, for his true things
are not new and his new things are
not true"
The agitator's stock in trade is dis
content, and there are always enough
Illustrations that NAV be used in such
way as to excite if not to make des-
perate certain and not inconsider-
able proportion Of our fellow men.
But this is no time for agitators.

lily on hand without hunting up more.

A BLOW AT THE WOOL BUSI.
NESS.

The proposal of the railroad ad-
ministration to raise the rate on wool
from the interior TO Portland is a
beautiful example Of the effect Of
government management OF indus
tries which are normally in the hands
Of private enterprise, also Of the
effect Of conduct Of government in
watertight compartments. The pres
ent rate was made to compete with
water lines. II has stimulated hand
ling Of wool at Portland to the point
where this city has become the sec
ond wool market in the United
States. II has also stimulated woolen
manufacture in Oregon. Because
water competition with the railroads
is potential, not actual, and because
the railroad administration needs
more money to make good its huge
deficit, il is proposed to raise the rate
70 much that wool would 90 east

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
WHY NOT DEEPER?

Now that the administration al
Washington, through the attorney
generals Office is so determined to
go after the prohteers, why wouldn't
il be good thing to get at the bot
tom of the whole business a good
deal quicker by going back to the
wholesaler? AS usual the retailer
is coming in for his round of knocks
and some Of the boys who are getting
the cream are standing back laughing
up their sleeves. We would not at
tempt to say that there is not an in
stance of profteering to the discredit
of the retailer, probably there have
been number Of instances. But the
prices of the retailer are based upon
what he has to pay to the wholesale
man, and il seems to us that right
there is where prices are apt to be
boosted, if anywhere.
However, the retail merchant has
stood close inspection before and
We imagine that he can do it again,
and that is more than some of the big
boys have been able to do. Some of
the big boys who have made millions
the last two years. Come to think
about it, from glancing around near
at home, we can't see where the re-
tail man is getting rich very fast and
what holds true in town Of this size
is pretty well duplicated the entire
country over.

ward TO Boston and all the business
which has been built up in Oregon
would be destroyed.
Yet absence Of water competition
in carrying wool results from the ac-
ton Of the same government which
uses it as the ground for raising the
rate. Wool is here ready to ship by
water. Ships are here, able to carry
il. Men are here ready to buy or
charter the ships. But the shipping
board does not allow them to be used
for that traffic, Dozens of ships lie
idle in the Willamette river, but none
of them is allowed to carry wool to
he Atlantic coast. Water competi-
,ion is thus decidedly potential. The
only reason why it does not become
actual is that the shipping board pre-
vents. Then the railroad administra-
.ion-a department of the govern
nent-uSeS this action of the ship
ring board-another department Of
the government-aS reason for &C
tion which would destroy the Port
and wool business.
There may be valid reasons why
no ships are available TO carry wool,
out they arise from the abnormal
conditions created BY the war, Water
competition first ceased TO be actual
and become potential when at the
outbreak of the war ships were with
drawn from the Pacific coast. The
situation thus created was aggravat-
ed when the United States went to
war and withdrew American ships
from the Pacific. Ii is now continued
BY employment of ships built on this
coast to carry food to Europe and
ties to the Atlantic coast, to the ex-
clusion of wool and other commodi-
ties. From the beginning it was ab-
normal, and never warranted with
drawal of rates based on water CON-
petition. Within few months it will
end when all American troops will
have returned from France and when
the extraordinary demand for ton
mage on the Atlantic will have abated,
also when tonnage now under con-
struction will have been completed.
Mr.. Rosseter of the shipping board
predicts that within a year the gov
ernments merchant fleet will have
passed into private hands, At that
time assuredly, probably before, YES
sells will carry wool from Portland to
the Atlantic coast and make water
competition actual.
The purely temporary, abnormal
nature Of present conditions does not
Justify change in rates. The great
injury to the wool business and wool.
IN manufactures of Oregon forbids
t. Before another wool clip can be
marketed those conditions will pro-
SADLY have passed and the time will
have arrived to undo what is now
proposed. Then why do it?-Ore-
gonian.

LOSE FAITHFUL OFFICER.

Oregon's National Guard loses a
faithful officer in the withdrawal of
Col, John L. May after thirty years
of loyal service. 1t is unfortunate
hat his resignation was brought
about by intemperate criticism such
rs some of our dailies lent them
selves to before and after his re-
urn from service abroad. Undoubt-
edly Col. May made mistakes, even
rs every other colonel made mis-
takes, but no man was ever more
patriotic, more unselfshly loyal or
more devoted to his duty to his coun-
Try, his state and his regiment. While
his thoughtless critics have wounded
him deeply, they cannot take from
him the consciousness of duty we'll
done nor deprive him of the affec-
'ion in which he is held by thousands
of Oreoonians who know how faith
full he has been.-Oregon Voter.

A GREAT DEAL OF PURE BUNK,

Armour can't afford shoes"
What do you think of that? But it
must be fact, because Mr.. Armour
says Sc, and he is one of those big
meat packers in Chicago we hear so
much about. So, of course, il must
be true. And he says only the work
ers can afford to buy shoes now,
since shoes are so high. Can you
beat it?
Of all the bunk that has appeared
in the press lately regarding the high
cost of living this latest dope from
the lips Of Armour and some of those
other highbrow milionaires is the
greatest bit Of humor yet.
Yes, il was only last week that Mr.
Armour BOUGHT his first pair of shoe.
in three or four years. He says, 81
never like TO buy when prices are
high" so it is quite evident that the
packer has not been eating very
much Of that silver-lined beef in the
blue label. But why shouldn't his
shoes last him two or even three
years? He saves the sole leather
by wearing out rubber tires. Proba-
bly, he has spent enough on tires dur
ing those three years to have bought
foot wear for his entire family the
rest Of their lives, and auto tires have
been going up along with everything
else.
Here is president Of the Corr
Exchange Bank who says he has no
bought a pair Of shoes since 1916
Having had his hand on the pulse ol
business trend, he probably saw wha
was coming and laid in enough shoe:
at the before-the-war price to las
him till prices come down again. e
But the final wind-up Of the whole
laughable business, laughable if i
wasn't so serious, is the statement oI
H. H. Merrick, president Of the Asso
citation Of Commerce and the Grea
Lakes Trust Company, that it is the
working man who is buying shoes a
the top Of the market and keeping
prices high"
We wonder what kind Of low dowr
propaganda this is anyway? Do tht
old boys smell rat since Uncle San
has decided to go after the profteer'
rough shod, and are they now tryinl
to tie something on to the workin'
classes? Who in the deuce wear
out shoes, anyway? 1t isn't the OH
boy that rides to and from his offict
in big limousine, Of that we art
sure.

reasj1g their number or aiding to
their difficulty, and besides, people
are agitated already as much as is
good for them or safe for the country.
Whatever the facts may be and
whatever adjustment Shoull be made
ia matters affecting the farmer, the
appeal to prejudice and to class an
,ipathieS is not the way to get things
lone, nor is now the time TO secure
relief except by the slow process of
better methods Of doing business,
which ought to engage our undis-
,urbed professional attention.
Organized labor has succeeded in
purifying itself from the irreSponSi-
/ ole extremist, and hopefully agricul-
ture can do as well. Farmers do not
possess the same strong national or.
ranization as does labor with which
o resist spurious and dangerous
propaganda, but what they lack in
organization they should supply il
common sense.
There is coming out of the North,
west a powerful and aggressive
movement, amounting almost to ar
agrarian revolution. Hopefully il
will spend itself before reaching the
rank and file Of American farmers.
We do not want an agrarian revo,
luton, particularly just now. The in.
terests of all classes of people are in
volved alike in the s-ttlment of great
world questions in which we all have
4 common interest and it i'll behooves
us to fall to fighting among ourselves
Besides, as we settle down and re.
solve our differences by peaceful
methods and succeed in ironing out
our difficulties, we shall find, quite
% our surprise in some respects nc
doubt, that after all We are pretty
much in the same boat, and that ir
general the farmers interest is moi
much different from that Of others
Anyhow, we have had quite enough
Of quarreling and excitement in the
world. What we peed now is to set
lie down a while, work hard daytimes
and sleep we'll nights. Get &C
quainted with your neighbor; yor
might like him." In any event, let u:
keep cool and leave something to be
settled next year, and perhaps ever
something for the next generation tc
work out, for they will be wiser thar
