HIGH COST After the freight had
OF LIVING been paid, and the com
mission mari s percen
tage deducted,, an eastern farmer- re
ceived a little over 30 cents a bushel
for the Lima beans he raised this
season. He went to the market town
a few days later, and in a spirit of
curiosity, traced his beans to one of
the big retailers. There he found his
30 cent beans selling at 15 cents a
quart, "which figures put $4.80 a bu
shel. A recent magazine article says
that the farm products raised in this
country last year brought the farmers
about $6,000,000,000. The consumers
paid $13,000,000,000 for it. Some
where between the farmer and the
ultimate purchaser the price was
doubled, and a billion dollars slapped
on to make a god job of it.
Of course, there is a legimate seal
ing and manufacturing expense, and
a legitimate profit for all necessary
middlemen, but the proportion noted
above is colossal robbery. So far the
consumer it leaving it all to the law,
and in a measure to the farmers, but
there will never be any effective re
dress until the consumer takes mat
ters into his own hands, and evolves
a sytem of marketing which shall do
justice to the grower and yet give
the people the benefit of the big har
vests for which our country is fam
ous. Good or bad harvests effect the
city dweller mighty Jittle. Farmers'
combinations, brokers, commission
men and others, all unite to keep up
high prices, and gouge the ultimate
consumer.
BLISSFUL Benjamin De Casseres
IGNORANCE is the author of an ar
ticle in the St. Louis
Mirror, which is being commented up
on' widely. The sophistry will be ap
parent to the average thinker, and
most of us will recognize an attempt
to out do Bernard Shaw. Neverthe
less, the article in question is bril
liant to a degree, and is especially
interesting as showing how plausible
an argument may be built up on in
verted facts. He maintains that the
price of knowledge is disillusionment,
which of course is paitly true, but he
goes on to argue that education and
sophistication often lead to unhapj
piness, imperfection and anarchy, and
draws the absolute conclusion that
"Curiosity, which is a sword in the
hands of the hardy, is ultimately a
destructive force to the race at
large." This of course is nothing
else but Von Hartman's "The Philos
ophy of the Unconscious."
Naturally enough, Mr. Casseres
maintains that credulity and ignor
ance are the real bases of civiliza
tion, "progress" and happiness. "Ig
norance ', he says, "is beneficial. Ig
norance makes life possible. Our
veils make us happy; our Seals bar
out the winds of doubt." He goes
on to argue: .
"There is a profound and unimag
inable meaning in the fact that every
revealer, every-carrier, every leader
into new way?, every messenger, is
crucified, ostracized and spurned.

ered to his cross, Bruno expiating
his crime of light-bringer in tha
flames, John Brown with the wrung
neck and protruding tongue, are the
bloody atonements tnat Nature asks
for those who dare to turn awry her
knowledge purposes.
"From the high heavens of irony
one recognizes the absolute necessity
for human credulity and ignorance if
the species is to continue. Faith, be
lief, implicit confidence, eternal opti
mism, without these things society,
family, nation, social improvement,
paradise, mean nothing. Blessed is he
who comes and teaches and reiterates
the Lie Beautiful! The narcotizing
formulas must be branded into the
brain and heart of each generation."
Without ignorance there would be
no idojatry, and he tells us idodatry
is essential to progress. Some wor
ship a stone hewed in the shape of
a dragon; some worship an idea chis-'
elled to look like a god; some wor
ship an emotion carved to look like
an Utopia." Of course oife is pagan,
the other Christian, and the third a
Socialist. Mr. Casseres concludes:
"From Aristotle tt Herbert Spen
cer, from Plato to Bergson, there has
been nothing but the invention of
formulas, a perpetual retagging of the
ultimate, vital ignorance of man. The
brain of every philosopher and every
scientist becomes a museum. Their
speculations and discoveries are redis
tributions and reclassifications of ig
norance. And even the irony of a
Schopenhauer or a Heine is confes
sion of bankruptcy. But, bankrupt or
not, each generation, each individual,
begins anew; and the spectacle is
sublime to the impersonal onlooker.

the valley cities with water from
Clear Lake, east of Eugene it would
seem that pure water could be brought
much more cheaply into the city by
tapping the Bull Run pipe rather than
to bear the heavy expense of extend
ing the State water line from Saem
to Oregon City. It is estimated that
it would cost between three and four
hundred thousand dollars to pipe the
water from Salem to Oregon City
while it would probably take at least
five years to get the water into the
city from. Clear Lake, so great is the
undertaking. Bull Run water comd
be piped into the city within a year.
As a great advertising feature few
will doubt that pure water is as great
a boon as a town can receive and one
has only to look to Portland, the fame
of whose water has spread over the
entire gjobe.
Another fact which may seem triv
ial until investigated is that pure wat
er is a great aid to temperance. One
has but to notice the signs in varioud
saloons advertising the use of beer
instead of water on account of its
greater pureness. '.".- t
