1t was also noticed that some people
throw their dish-water and table
scraps into the back yard. This gives
off filthy odor and many disease
germs. In many places it was MOTTO
ed that the sewerage from the cess
pool runs through pipe to the top
of the ground, then through a small
ditch to the creek. If this is not
cleaned, mosquitoes will breed and
carry typhoid.
In one part of town a barn lot
was noticed which has very large
pile of manure in it. 1t looked as
if it had been there for some time,
and flies have probably bred there.
The manure should be hauled away
or spread over the ground to be
plowed under. There are several
other places near the center of town
that have very dirty barn lots. The
manure has undoubtedly been there
for some time and flies may easily
breed. The city's feed yard needs
much improvement. 1t is covered
with manure all year long; this
makes a very good place for flies to
breed during the summer. Some one
should be employed to take care OF
this and keep it clean. Manure
which looked as if it had been there
for an unreasonable length Of time
was piled around many barns. These
places should be cleaned, because
they are very unhealthful and most
any kind of disease may start Oil
should be placed on the manure tc
keep the flies from breeding. Man,
open toilets were found, which coulc
be bettre cared for They should be
carefully built, and oils or lime
should be used in them.

eggs; plenty of tin cans and other
rubbish we're piled around. In one
particular back yard there was
found all kinds of trash mixed to-
gether. These should be cleaned
away, because in the summer a ter
rible odor will form, and flies will
readily breed. A few more places
which should be attended to are near
the court house, the public feed yard
and rooming houses west of Main
street.
On a shed which is not more than
twenty feet from the kitchen dooI
of a certain home, there is a dead

rabbit which from all outward aP
pearance has been there for some
time. A dead chicken and dead
cat were found in another yard and
have evidently been there for some
time. Dead skeletons should not be
left lying around, especially those Of
dead animals such as skeleton OF
a calf which has been there for some
time.
The people of Heppner seem to be
very careless about the drainage Of
their town. Perhaps it is only thot.

GUILTY PREACHERS
BY
Rev. MA. MATTHEWS
D.D.,LL. D.

The Christian pulpit is the
highest place on earth. 1t is the
only untrammeled, unpurchas-
able throne in the world. The
preacher if he be real preacher
is God-called, God-hlled, divinely
fitted, and supernaturlly commits
stoned. His authority and mes
sage are of supernatural origin,
Therefore, he is decreed to be a
leader. If he meets these divine
requirements he is an expert in
his exalted position. When ever
a minister of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and His vicarious death
steps out of this exalted place
and fails to perform his duty as
a courageous leader and fearless
defender of the faith delivered
once for all to the saints, he be-
comes guilty and must be held re-
sponsible for all the ills that result
from his failure.
There are ministers who have,
no doubt, stepped from this high
responsible place and they are
therefore guilty of all the evils of
the country that have come as a
direct result Of their actions. Such
ministers are chargeable with the
following defects:
First: Laziness. They do not
work, not even half time. Their
sermons show it. Their fences
are down. Their churches are un-
organized. They do not take any
part in the civic life of their COM
munities.
Second: They are Cowards.
They are afraid to speak plainly,
pointedly, and persistently against
the sins Of their members. They
are far from being like John the
Baptist. They do not demand
respect and attention from men
because they do not meet men and
challenge them in their evil do.
ings. They do not stand like brave
men should stand-face to face
with guilty brother and accuse
him.
Third: Busy Idleness. They

The French take the position that
if Russia wants to talk about inter-
national debts it must begin by max
ing an immediate payment on what
is already overdue, which sounds
very much like what the United
States is saying to a number of pow
ers, including France.

are engaged in attending pink
teas, and foolish female functions,
whereas they should be in the
marts Of trade, n the floors of as
semblies and lodges, business and
political meetings, and social gath
erings where men live and where
they could stand on the floors of
such meetings, expose evil, de-
fend virtue, and advocate right
eouSneSS.
Fourth; Infdelity. They have
yielded to the Goddess of Heresy,
and have made a direct attack
upon the infallible Word of God
and the blood atonement of Jesus
Christ. Such men are undermin-
ing the faith of the young and un-
sophisticated saints and are send
ing thousands adrift into skepti-
cism and sin. They are drawing
salaries fraudulently because they
contracted to preach the infallible
Word of God and the vicarious
atonement Of Jesus Christ. They
are preaching something else.
Therefore, such conduct is dis
honest. Such men are largely re-
sponsible for the rise of the in
famous cults and the spread Of ir-
reverence, frivolity, impropriety,
domestic infdelity, religious inf
deity, apostaSy, and general social
criminality.
If the preachers were preach
ing Faithfully, fearlessly, courage
ously, the whole Gospel of Jesus
Christ and were exposing crime,
demanding confession, and bring
ing men face to face with the
judgment of their deeds, the crime
wave Of this country would subside
at once, and a great revival of
religion would begin.
The pettifogging, heretical,
spineless, rationalistic, infdelic
preachers Of the country are re-
sponsible for the social conditions
of this land.

H. H. S. Biology Class
Makes Sanitation Survey
Editor Gazette Times:

Editor Gazette-Times:
Following is report written by a
committee of the biology class fol-
loing an informal survey of sanitary
conditions in Heppner. The survey
was made by the class in connection
with their work on the betterng OF
human environment. The report is
submitted as written by the commit
tee.
When due allowance is made for
the season of the year and the excep-
tional cases it is still strongly evident
that many people are grossly careless
in the disposal of garbage and sewer
age. Failure to use oil in open toilets
and on manure piles results in the
breeding of myriads of flies in the
summer. The many open sewers
running into the dry creek beds and
into bitches furnish a dangerous sit
uation as regards the spread OF ty-
phoid and other infectious diseases
Information regarding the danger OF
unsanitary conditions is sufficiently
widespread these days to prompt
serious thinking and action on the
committees report.
Yours truly,
!. w. HEARD, Instructor.
The people of Heppner who have
had access to good schools, and have
had every chance to know the right
from the wrong way of protecting
public health, have many good reas.
ons to be truly ashamed. The follow
ing things were seen by the students
of the biology class on a small TRIP
about the town:
Gunny sacks, boxes, and piles OIL
tin cans were lying open, exposed tt
the rain which could easily fill then
with water; such as this makes very
good place for mosquitoes to breed
In the back door yard Of many of the
homes the ground was thoroughly
soaked with dish-water and slop
which attracts many flies. Many o
the alleys were in very filthy condi
ton; especially one, where wagot
loads of cans, piles of ashes, anc
heaps of kitchen refuse were found
In another alley, post had been th'
target Of many well-directed rottel

Harding Favors Project; Says
Party Is Strong Enough
to Include All

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Plans for
the organization throughout the coun-
try of Republican women's first voters,

Harding by Mrs. Barclay Warburton,
Philadelphia, vice-president of the
Pennsylvania State Republican Com
1nittee, and Mrs. John j. O'Brien, chair
man Of the committees speakers
bureau, who, accompanied by Senator
Pepper, Of Pennsylvania, were luncheon
guests at the White House. Mrs. War
burton later in statement said Presi-
dent Harding had expressed approval
9f the proposal and commendd it to
Republican women everywhere
Told by his guests that the "disap-
pointment incident to pre-primary
campaign in Pennsylvania is fast dis
appearing and that all elements in the
party are lining up for the enthusiast
tic support of the whole ticket" Mrs.
Warburton said that the President,
gratiied by this news, had authorized
her to quote him as saying the Repub-
lican party was big enough to include
all who accept the fundamental prin-
ciples, no matter how their tempera-
ment may vary and no matter how
different their ways of expressing
themselves.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
COLUMBUS; o., Aug. 9.-Belated re-
turns from Ohio's statewide primary
election yesterday increased the. con-
viction late to-day that dry forces of
the state had won sweeping victory.
The lead of Carmi A.. Thompson, VIC
torious candidate for the Republican
gubernatoral nomination, who was in
dorsed by the Anti-Saloon League;
grew steadily all day. With six-sev-
enths Of the 1900 precincts of the
State unoficially reported, he not only
had more than his nearest three rivals
combined, but promised to roll up,
lead over his closest competitor of at
least 100000 when the total vote was
Tailed. s ,...
The showing of C. C. Crabbe, floor
tatives, for, the Republican nomination
for Attorney General, .cinched the dry
victory. Crabbe, probably the driest
of all the drys in the State, ON the
face of returns last night was run
ming far. behind Judge E. E. Corn, Of
Ironton, for the nomination. Corn,
considered liberal candidate, at one
time had load of nearly $4,000 over
Crabbe. When rural precincts began
reporting in large numbers, however,
Crabbe slowly gained on Corn, finally
passed him and tonight, with nearly
1000 precincts reported, had margin
of 1000 votes, ,e
Credit Anti-Saloon League
While organization leaders took par
ticurar satisfaction in the victory of
Thomps on. many political experts were
inclined to give no small measure Of
the credit for his victory to the Anti
Saloon League. While that organiza-
tion indorsed other Republican candi-
dates at the same time 1t placed it's
stamp of approval on Thompson's can
didacy, it later came out and urged
voters to support Thompson, even at
the expense Of sacrificing the Others
it had indorsed.
Congressman C. L. Knight, Bull
Moose Progressive; was runner-up to
Thompson, with Secretary of State
Smith and C. Homer Durand, both con-
sidered liberal candidates, see-sawing
for third and fourth positions.
A. Vic Donahey, successful candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, maintained total in
excess of the combined vote of his two
opponents, as his managers predicted.
Fess and Pomerene Victors
Congressman Simeon D. Fess rolled
UP heavy lead over his rivals for
the Republican nomination for the
United States Senate. Senator Pomer-
enc won the Democratic nomination.
Both more than doubled the totals of
their rivals.
The showing g OF Homer Durand, for
mer wet leader, running on light
wine and beer platform, for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor was
surprise. At one time while early
returns were coming in he was running
second to Thompson. Considered a
"joke", candidates until a week or ten
days ago, Durand undoubtedly would
have amassed many thousands more
votes If Secretary Of State Smith had
not cut into his strength.

the leaders yesterday Mr.. Murphy was
asked whom he favored for the NOM
ination for Governor.
Murphy Won't Commit Self
"I can't tell till get to the conven-
tion,'" he said. 1--WE only got one vote,
you know" he said, with a smile. "The.
convention will decide on the caudi-
date"
Mr.. Murphy's talks with the district
leaders will continue to-day. The at
mosphere at the Wigwam was none too
cheerful yesterday. News was brought
straight from the Saratoga racetrack
by Tammany men that Willsam r.
Hearst and Mayor Hyian were putting
in hard ticks" shaking hands with pol
iticians and racetrack desoteeg, the
publisher going out of his way to meet
any one supposed to have political
following. The most interesting bit of
gossip to the talent" was that Mr..
Hearst told the racing men that he
thought seriously of buying a stable
and engaging in "the sport of kings"
on his own account.
Judges Are Discussed
Much of the discussion at Tammanv
Hall yesterday was given to the selec-
tion of candidates for judges of Cen
eral Sessions. There Is little chance
of fusion on Judge Johnston, Demo-
crat, and Judge Koenig, Republican, ap-
pointed by Governor Miller this year.
On the understanding that the race is
an open one, City Magistrate George
w. Simpson, City Magistrate Max
Levine, Samuel Friedlander and Will
liam Harmon Black are all receptive
candidates for the General Sessions.
Edward w. Brogan, formerly an AS
sistant District Attorney, whose rela-
tions with District Attorney Banton
we're supposed to be more than merely
strained" yesterday sent the District
Attorney rather fulsome letter tell
ing him that he is the logical candi-
date for Governor at the Syracuse con-
vention. Mr.. Brogan says that the dan
ger to the Democratic party this year
arises from within rather than without
the organization, and that Mr.. Banton
has won the appreciation Of all good
citizens by his enforcement Of law and
especially for his advocacy Of a "blue
sky" law to protect innocent investors
and for other legislation to check com
mercial fraud.

this anxiety which is knocking at the

Commodore Perry was knocking at the

One thing may be mentioned once
for all, and that is the fact the gov

emergency the censorship in Japan
never exceeded the limit which we Saw

Board Of Education
Needs S10O,00O,0OO
For W Work Next Wear
$I00 Will BE Spent On Each
Of Million Pupils in the
Public Schools; Will Fill
Late Mrs. Forsytl1e's Post

One hundred dollars a pupil is the
amount New York will spend next year
for educatlpn, according to estimates
based on the approximate amount Of
the 1923 school budget announced yes
terday at the meeting OF the Board Of
Eudaction.
Arthur S. Somers, chairman of the
budget committee, told members of the
board that the next years financial
requirements would be close to $780,
100000. Last years budget totaled $92,-
100000. The estimate was made by Mr.
Somers during the discussion OF the
question of extending the junior high
school system, action on which was de-
ferred. Mr.. Somcrs warned the other
members of the board that they must
count the cost in every venture that
they make.
With the student population of the
public school system estimated between
100000 and 100000, a budget Of
$100,000,000 would make the expcndi-
ture equivalent to $100 for each pupil.
The budget is exclusive Of the extern sive
building program of the board, which
at present embraces expenditures of
many millions.

Board of Education, took steps to OBJ
tain the opinion of associate superin-
tendents regarding candidates for the

recently Of Mrs. Grace Strachan For

one suggestion from each associate
superintendent. The person recon-
mended may be "a district superin-
tendent, director or school principal.
In letter to applicants for the va
tancy who have already written him
Mr. Ryan asked them to write another
letter setting forth his or her record
in the school system and the views of
each on the qualifications necessary for
the position. Consideration also, he
said, would be given to any sugges-

which they believe that the work of

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. o.
Archbishop John Joseph Glennon,
of st. Louis, said here to-day that
he thought the Eighteenth
Amendment weakened the Con-
stitution, as it was the elimination
Of right, while the other pro-
visions of the document recog-
nized or created rights.
I'm my opinion the Eighteenth
Amendment detracts from the
dignity of this important docu-

as the regulation of the use Of
alcohol should be left for the po-
lice courts of the various cities
and states of the union to decide
for themselves"
