Undo Joo Cannon has been re elected to congress, saysjGood win's Weekly, and Is tfoinff back amid tho congratulations of frlonds. Still wo believe that bofore three months he will realize that he made a mistake in again being a candidate. When an oiu Btage horse is turned out in a nasturc by the roadside, every time tho stage passes ho rushes up to the fence and whinnies and be lieves ho is just as young as he over was. But tho splint on tho near foreleg or tho spavin on the off hind leg gives him away. When Ins friends feed him meal or midlings in his cut food ho wonders where the old- timo oats nro and docs not rclaizc that could ho get them lie could not chew them. And his eyes arc so dim that ho cannot sec that when old friends look at him, it is not admiration, but n ty in the r eyes. And men and horses are not so very dilTor- ent. Undo Joo knows down deep that it will bo impossible for him to improve on what ho did long years ago in congress, but ho fools himself mto a be lief that he can fool those around him and make as good a show ing as of old. This will hold him up for a little while and then ho will realize the world is passing him by and then ho will wish lie was back in the old Illinois home. It need astonish no ono to read some morning in tho next six months that Uncle Joo confesses to being tired and has resigned. With winter coining on, and tho crops safely harvested and Btowed away, many young men of the farms will be casting longing eyes toward (ho great oitics. They would leave tho green fields and their pleasures and seek tho glare of tho dec trie lights and tho allurements of tho great while way. They would tasto of the greater life. And therein lurks the most haunting peril that confronts our country today, for tho nation is dependent upon llio 1 armor. Our population is increasing by leaps and bounds, and millions of additional mouths must bo fed each year. From tho soil of tho farms must como tho pro duco which sustnius life and body for tho countless thousands who throng tho cities. And year by year young men of tho country aro leaving tho farms to Heok their fortunes in the hu man beo hives. And each ono who forsakes tho farm reduces tho producing capacity of tho country, although our constantly increasing population calls for greater farm production. Young men of brains nro needed on tho farm. Thoir presence there means much to thoir country a thousand limes moro than they reauzo. Tito city oners bin one a chance in hundred for success, for every largo city la already over populated, and lor every job worth tho having thoro aro many applicants. Todny, ovory city in tho country is groaning under mo burden or its unom ployed. Many hundreds of thou sands of people aro without enough bread and wholly do pondont upon charity. That is the condition of tho grcnt cities todny a condition which should not appeal to any intelligent young man from tho form. Tho farm oilers tho young man a life of honor, and of peace, and of pionty. Tho glnro of tho elec tric light offers him all that ho should not havo. Young men of wisdom should stick to tho farm. Fools havo no wisdom to loso.

So far it hnB been practically more or less Kuoss work so far as the city council is concerned, as uiu city ciiKinoor lias not yet made an es timate of its physical valuation. The Railroad Commission, how ever, lias lurniaiied some nirures that shed litfht on the proposi tion.

If the city owned both its water and elec tric systems n fire hydrant and arc liirht could be placed on every corner in the city if desir ed, and the rates of each ser vice lowered considerable. Let a committee be appointed to make the investigation s tin wrest ed, and settle tho water question COUCH & COMPANY v: Phone Coumbla 137 "PIONEER MERCHANTS" OJCM IO Years in St. John I J Tho project of acquiring tho water plant is now onuraKintr tho boHous attention of tho city council. It is tho concensus of opinion of tho public at largo that tho city of St. Johns should own its own water plant. Port land would undoubtedly be pay ing as much lor water service today us St. Johns and all other towns and cities of tho North west where tho water supply is controlled by corporations or in dtviduals, did it not own its plant. It is true that Portland rates were in oxcess of the rates now charged in St. Johns up until that city purchased the plant from its ownors. Like wise St. Johns cannot expect to obtain lower rates in any appre ciable degree until it also ac quires a municipal plant. This fact is pretty generally realized, and the people as a rule are ready to vote bonds for that pur pose. But tho presont difficulty seems to lio in an inability to determine just what tho plant of the St. Johns Water Company is of pipe, which totals $lir.700. Allowing several' thousand dollars and deprccia-i lion for value of the franchise, ' the company has set the price to the city at $150,000. Tho city has made a counter proposition. subject to approval by tho voters, of $110,000. The company, wo understand, will not seriously consider this olfcr. In view of tho discrepancy be tween the two prices named, and in view of the fact that tho citi zens desiro to own their own water plant, tho best plan would seem to be for the city council to appoint a committee of three competent persons, including the city engineer, to gather all available data, and thus bo able to arrive at an intelligent esti mate of what the plant is really worth. We believe no ono would be willing to pay moro than the plant is actually worth, and it is also true that none really feel that the company should loso by tho transaction. It is a matter that should bo dealt with only in a business. liko way. Tho facts should bo ascertained and a price fixed that is based only upon conditions as they aro round to oxist. If tho plant is found not to bo worth tho prico asked, and will not bring goot interest on the investment, cer tninly it would bo poor policy to make tho purchase. Tho inquiry has been made as to whether tho city could not in stall a water system ot its own and ignore tho present system. City Attorney Parker, in reply to this, cites tho caso of Eugene, which attempted to nut in an electric systom in opposition to that ol a corporat on operating undor n franchiBo thero. Tho Supreme Court decided that the city could not ignoro tho rights ol the corporation, that tho city could install a plant oi its own, but it could not reduce rates low er than would atlord tho cor poration a fair rate of interest on its investment. Appying tho same rulo to St. Johns, it this city installed a water system tho city could not make tho rates lower than the St. Johns Water Company could operate under and recoivo a fair rato of inter est therefrom, and since tho Railroad Commission has deter mined what that rato shall bo for tho present, it would not bo dillicult to conceive what tho rates must bo if .the city install ed a now plant. Thero aro also phases of the St. Johns Water Company's franchise that might havo to bo reckoned with also. For instance, wherein is stipu lated that the people of tho town of St. Johns agree to use tho water furnished by tho company for a period of 25 years. So it would seem that if the present plant can bo secured at a fair prico. it may avoid moro com plications than otherwise might ensue. A competent committeo to look into tho proposition would seem tho best plan to pur sue, it the plant is worth JfllU, 000 or $150,000. tho people would want to know dolinitely.
