THE RESOLUTION' "OF INQUIRY.
Whf.ree, The management of the
Portland Gas Company, n corporation,
operating within the City of Portland
and furnishing gas to the Inhabi
tants thereof, under a franchise
granted by-ordinance No. S101, and a,
grant from the Legislature of the
State of Oregon, has been subject to
criticism for the quality of gas fur
nished, the price charged and the
measurement thereof, and,
"Whereas, The Council under au
thority of Section 7C of the charter
Is rested "Kith power and authority to
provide for the acquisition of gs
works and other utilities by condem
nation or otherwise, therefore.
Be it resolved. That & committee of
the Council, consisting of Councllmen
Annand. Kellaher, Masters, Rushlight.
Bennett and Vaughn be and Is hereby
appointed with full authority to make
ruch examination and Investigation as
is authorized by the charier, and to
report In writing the findings to this
Council.
Councilman Vaughn exhausted every
endeavor at the Council meeting yes
terday In his efforts to stay the rising
tide of public opinion that threatens
to intimidate the local gas company
ut In vain.
No sooner had Councilman Mencfee
Introduced his resolution of inquiry
than the member from the Tenth
"Ward was on his feet with an amend
ment, as follower
Resolved, That the Mayor be requested to

upon the technical features of such Investi
gation; that said committee be requested to
make reports from time to time upon the
progress of such investigation, and at the
earliest moment consistent with thorough
ness, of their Anal result
Vaughn then proceeded to malte an
earnest pjea in Dctiair of his substi
tute, prefacing his remarks by ask
ing City Attorney McNary If there
was any authority for the Council to
take up the investigation of the gas
company Independently of the Mayor,
as it proposed doing under the pro
visions of the MVmefee resolution.
Upon being assured that there -were
no legal objections to the Council delv
ing Into the matter, Vaughn cited sec
stlon 51 of the charter as proof that
the Mayor had exclusive authority,
under the fundamental law of the
municipality, to proceed with the In
vestigation, and that his substitute
resolution was In harmony with the
charter. Section 151, to which the
Councilman of the Tenth Ward direct
ed attention, provides:
The Mayor may on his own motion, and
must upon a resolution passed by the Coun
cil directing him so to do, cause to be in
stituted on behalf of the city such actions
or proceedings as may be necessary to re
voke, cancel or annul all franchises that
may have been granted by the city to any
person, company or corporation, which have
been forfeited In whole or In part or which
for any reason may be Irregular and void and
not binding upon the city, and the City At
torney upon his demand must institute and
prosecute the suits or actions required to en
force the provisions of this wntinn v.,
Mayor taking office under this charter shall
cause a carerui investigation to be made of
tne exact conamon of all franchises thereto,
lore granted by the citv. nn nc
spectlve rights and obligations of the par-
me penormance of the same, and
shall report the results thereof in each of his
reports or messages.

Orators at Franklin Dinner
Make Invidious-Cpmparisons,
PATRIOTISM AT A LOW EBB
Dr. A. A. Morrison and Rabbi Wise
Call Attention to Decadent
State or Nation's
Morals. That if Benjamin Franklin were to re
turn to this life he would be dumbfounded
at the decadent honesty and patriotism
of the American people, was thc Impres
sion the guests of the Oregon Society, Sons
of the American Revolution, at its ban
quet given In commemoration of the 200th
anniversary of the birth of the author
and philosopher, must have carried away
with them from the festal board last
night.
"Notable among the post-prandial ora
tions In which the honesty and patriot
Ism of the American people were ques
tioned was one delivered bv Dr. A. A.
Morrison. The subject of his address was
"National Stability." He contended that
the foundation of any nation was reck
oned by the moral standard of its citizen
ship. He said that greed had inculcated
Into the citizens of this country a feeling
of disregard for almost everything but
"nat is there In It for me?" He said
there was somcthlnsr more to patriotism
than the martial feeling which comes at
tne time of war. and that he did not be
lieve a man who looked upon a nubile
oince as a privilege instead of a trust was
a patriot In the fullest sense of the word
The great natural resources of these
united States and the sreat and wonder
ful opportunities have developed among
our people an inordinate greed that has
assumed such vast proportions as to en
danger our institutions." said Dr. Mor
nson. "The centralization and accumula
tion of wealth through special nrlvlleKes
or otner means, has brought about a con
dition of affairs, a continuation of which
will cause a reprisal by the people which
will sweep away the despotic Influences
In commercialism and other forms. Tho
loafer Is a canker upon our citizenship,
whether he be an aristocrat or a tramn."
Dr. Stephen S. Wise delivered a. bril
liant speech, taking as his subject
-framcim. the Typical American. Guide.
Philosopher and Friend to the Younr Re-
puoiic." .
Dr. Wise Pleads for Russia.
Dr. Wise expressed himself In his em
phatic and decided way of the onlnlon
that thc American people were not so
sympathetic as they should be to the
oppressed In the great struggle for free
dom which is now going on in Russia.
He said that In a century or more from
the present date the Russian neonle would
have their Sons of the Revolution of
Kk, the same as the American people
now have their Sons of the Revolution of
no.
Dr. Wise said the present generation
was In need of some of thc honesty, pa
triotism, loathing of hypocrisy, and ab
horrence of deceit, and other great quali
ties possessed by Benjamin Franklin. He
described him as a typical, genuine, vital
American.
General Thomas M. Anderson acted as
toastmaster. In which capacity he cov
ered himself with glory.
The other speakers on the programme
confined their remarks to Benjamin
Franklin's life and deeds, and. did not
point out the dead-falls and rough places
of the path which the American people
are now traveling.

OLD SORES
Old Sores that refuse to heal are constant - "kAjLI H
menace to health. They sap the vitality and undermine the constitution by
draining the system of its very life fluids, and those afflicted with one of
thesejulcers grow despondent and almost desperate as one treatment after
another fails. They patiently apply salves, washes, plasters, etc., but in
spite of all these the sore refuses to heal and eats deeper into the surround
ing flesh, destroying the tissues and growing to be a festering, inflamed and
angry mass. The source of the trouble is in the blood. This vital fluid is
filled with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged
into the sore or ulcer, making it impossible for the place to heal. It will not
do to depend on external applications for a cure, because they do not reach
the real cause, and valuable time is lost experimenting vrith such treatment;
the most they can do is keep the ulcer clean. Any sore that "will not heal is
dangerous, for the reason that it may have the deadly germs of Cancer behind
it. A cure can be brought about only through a remedy that can chang e the
quality of the blood, and this is what
bottom of the trouble, drives out the
