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.

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.

"What la a volunteer fire de
partment?" in a question thut lias
been usked In Lu Grando more
than once, according to inemheis
of the local organization.
"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.
'it seems that the only time a
flro department con leu in for a

ious and difficult fire has oc-

could have been easily controlled
hail the department been prop
erly equipped.
"The petsonnel of a volunteer
fire department is of great hit -1
portance, as there are many an
gles to keep the proper hitorosl,
among its members. The. nr. n !
that go to make up a volunteer

are like those or fully paid men.
