There must be many people in Schenectady, N. Y., these days who are pondering that question, says an Eastern exchange. Ice, as you may know, is not only a great comfort in hot weather, but a necessity. Without it food is rendered not only unfit for consumption, but often dangerous. Rut ice costs money. Where there is an ice monopoly it costs a great deal of money. Last winter, when it was coid, the officials of the city of Sche nectady conceived what they thought to be a brilliant idea. They knew that in hot weathe there are many poor people who cannot afford ice, and they intended this summer to give it away to the poor. Their thought was that since they had been put in charge of the community's welfare, it was quite within the scope of their duties to look out for the comfort and well-being of those whose financial condition made it impossible for them to look out for themselves. But the iceman was watching. lie didn't like the idea at all. It readily suggested itself to him that if the city gave away that much ice, it might cut into his business. It might take away some of the profits he expected to get out of the necessity of the poor people of Schenectady. So the iceman bided his time, and when the city officials were preparing to distribute their ice where it would do the most good, the iceman got out a temporary injunction. This halted the ice distribution until the court could pass on the case. The court has heard the arguments, and it has made the injunction permanent. Schenectady has 30,000 tons of ice on its hands which it can not use. The poor people of Schenectady are undergoing the hot heat of summer without ice, or are robbing their, table for money to buy ice. The city;., has plenty, all they will need, but the court stands on guard and won't let the city relieve the sufferings of the poor. Probably this is good law. It must have been good law or the learned court would not have granted the permanent injunction. It would not have made the city's investment a total loss, it would not have denied the poor this precious boon of coolness during the dog days, it would not have turned the poor over to the mercies of the iceman, if it had not found law or precedent or something to base its decision upon. We haven't heard what the grounds are on which the court held with the iceman and against Schenectady and its people. Probably the city hadn't any legal authority for going into the ice business. Probably it is unconstitutional for a city to be merciful and kind to the poor. Probably the sacred tenets of the law would have been out raged if the city of Schenectady had been allowed to give 25 povls of ice to some tenement dweller's family, suffering in the slums. Probably there is some hoary decision back in the days of King John or Richard III which stands in the way. P.ut there is the ice 30,000 tons of it. There are the poor, goinq; without ice or impoverishing them selves to buy it. And there stands the iceman, with the court vigilantly guard ing his interests. The ice can melt, the poor may go iceless, but the iceman will bo happy and property rights will be vindicated.

Ironing Day Comfort vVith nn electric flutiron you can do your ironing where it is coolest out on the back porch where the breeze invigorates you while you work. Add to this comfort the economy of a G-E Electric Flatiron which uses only nlwuit 15 cents worth of electricity for doing the weekly ironing of nn average sized family, and you have the reason why thousands of families throughout the country are using electric llatirons. Let us send you one on trial. ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER COMPANY Phone 85 State and Commerc ial Streets WOODMEN DAY AT THE STATE FAIR Extensive preparations are being made by the W. O.

The Orcgonlan says "the murder of Mildred Green nt Kugene Is another argument ngalnHt the abolishment of capital punishment." How or why is It? The murder waM committed while capital punishment Is the penalty. The world has been legally killing people for murder and other things for thousands of years, and murder Is still rampant. The abolishment of capital punishment will not stop mur der, but It's a dead certainty that Its practice has not stopped It. A change ly wny of experiment cannot do much harm. Governor West may get some need ed exercise packing a soldier's outfit around, but ho will not chungo the proposition that a soldier must obey orders at nil times, regardless of foot soreness, his own opinions, or any thing else. When an officer has to ex plain to his soldiers why an order Is made, and let them vote on the propo sition as to whether they shall obey It, It will necessitate the stopping of the soldier business, entirely. John W. Gates' pet dog Is dead. It has been embalmed, and lies in state In a sllk-llned coffin with a gold col lur around Its neck. Tho body will be shipped to Texas for burial In the Gates family lot, to which It will add distinguished honor. The fact that the dog belonged to a millionaire mnde its death apparently of sufficient na tional Importance to bo telegraphed all over the country and probably cabled to Europe. Such things as that prob ably forestall the time when some multl-mllllonalres will be burled with 1 the dogs, as they were in France.
