Ithe cultured, the educated, criminal activity may bo diffi
cult to understand. Why will men and women risk reputa
tion, liberty, life, merely for the gratification of criminal
impulses? The question defies answer. Therefore the
philosophic scientists or scientific philosophers hold that
crime is simply a manifestation of some niania.

the true character of the city rather than to Rive too much
emphasis to Bomothinir that is simply "reputed" to bo so.
Jl's true that you cau Ret n haiixjut in I'oitland for less
than it can be purchased in La Kranrie. but nothinir Is rm
alxiut tho difference in the price of meals, for example. Tlu
two local hotels serve u special luncheon al noon for fifty'
cents that could not bo duplicated in Portland for halV
again as much, and the excellent cafeterias and cafes serv
ing luncheons produce foods at prices that would be as-'
toundinu if discovered in I'oitland or almost any other
town of our acquaintance. And nothing js quite so indica
tive of local food prices as the meals that a city servw
regularly.
There are a number of other very excellent, examples
that might be cited which have a greater .influence on th
cost of living than haiictlts that would lend to destroy
the popular belief that I,n Grande is a high pi iced tow n -that
is, if the people who entertain that belief will iuvesli-'
gate conditions and cwmpare with an open mind. The
Journal's editorial writer, in this particular instance, had
Jailed to do that. Certainly a careful comparison of liv-'
ing costs and working costs between Im Grande and the1
cities farther west would not bring great disci-edit to that I
which we call our own.
