Ss1 '''C-SpP-- t1 i hi ' In addition to a good five-cent cigar, a la Tom Marshall, this country needs more parents who are on spanking terms with their children. One of the most interesting things about football is that the best team doesn't always win. A glance at some of Saturday's scores by any follower of the game will indi cate as niuch. And that fact is about the only source of consolation available at times. Famous physicians who have made a study of partial paralysis and other ills not traceable to organic disorders have found that cures are effected by allowing patients to talk or write about themselves purging their mental lives. We imagine they prescribe writing in preference to talking in most cases. From existing dope it would appear that' the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor will be too numerous to permit a very clear-cut campaign. With Pat terson, Hull, Jones, Upton, Kay, and a few others busy mentioning themselves or being mentioned by others, the race should be a real free-for-all by next June. U m-L-iii- .! -i-'-' There is only one advantage in the new curfew siren that now disturbs the peaceful evening occupations of citi zens of La Grande it should be enough to scare the young sters home and into bed. The curfew law is a good one and should be enforced, but why do we have to endure the shrieks of that siren to accomplish such a purpose? COMPULSOKY VOTING. Australia has passed through the first election under i i-i Her compulsory votnip law. number of prosecuted violations will not be known for some time, if ever, but those facts are immaterial. If the law works as many have predicted it would, the total vote cast this time will be about the same as iij the last Aus tralian election. It is a curious spectacle, this making a law to force people to use the ballot. While the people of one nation arc shedding blood for the right to govern themselves by the ballot, there arc other countries in which many citi zens neglect to take advantage of this right of self-government and speak of the tyranny of a government which would attempt to force them into the election booth. Forc ing a citizen to vote when he doesn't want to or isn't interested enough in citizenship to cast a ballot intelli gently is as bad as legislating that parents rigidly super vise their children. If we lack a feeling of responsibility, forcing us to use the ballot accomplishes nothinir iii the cause of good government Some years ago the Australians enacted a compulsory enrollment law. The statute provided a penally of $2.50 fine for failure to enroll as a voter but no increase in the number of enrolled voters has been accomplished, it's a sad commentary on our conception of government but there seems to be no cure, at least none within the reach of our legislative bodies. Constant education is the only thing on which we can depend for improvement. And until that method gets notable results, oImhiI the only sensible legis lation would be to provide a iemilty for calamity howling by any citizen who failed to vote at the last election. And even that kind of a law wouldn't be practical because neith er our jails nor our treasuries are large enough to accom modate the flood of convicts and fines.

"A volunteer fire department is made up of two parts; first, tin extinguishing of fire and fire pre vention; and second, the. person nel," is the unswer. "All fire de partments whether fully paid or volunteer, art responsible to the taxpayers and citizens for the protection of life and property in their respective cities. A volun teer fire department is organized along the same lines as a fully paid department, and must be highly proficient in the discharge of duly. "In a recent speech by Mark K. ltyan, fire chief of kedwood City, Cal., before the Blind annual convention, "an excellent descrip tion of the average volunteer fire department was given." I' ire Chief C. O. Murchison suid today. Excerpts front thu speech fol low: "It is false economy to have a city only partlallly protected against fire, for one fire out of control of the fire department one or two hours nia destroy a city, One shoutd look ut I he fire risk as It exist" and not place the city at thu mercy of the fire demon.
