CONCERNING LIGHTS.
One of the questions agitating the
Dalles public lnlnd just now is," can
the city afford electric lights ? We
think the question is wrongly worded.
It should be: "Can The Dalles
afiford to be without electric lights?"
The answer is in the negative almost
unanimously. The city can be
lighted for less than $2,000 a year,
and the property owners, let alone
others, cannot afford to have the
city in darkness for that sum. Our
citizens subscribe liberally for al
mc&t any proposition. A thousand
dollars was raised for the firemen's
tournament, a like sum, or more, has
been subscribed for the fair, The
Commercial Club is expending money
enough on its rooms to light the
citv two years. These things show
that it is not for the lack of money
that the city remains in darkness.
What is it then? Simply lack of
enterprise and energy.
The Commercial Club was formed
for the purpose ot advancing the
city's interest, and it has done much.
It could do much more, and it could
aid materially in the lighting of the
city. We do not mean to convey
the idea that the club should pay the
bills, but it could take hold of the
matter in such a way that the balance
of the money necessary to be raised
to pay for the lights could be pro
cured. As an advertisement of our
town the lights would be worth more
than their entire cost. The cost of
three cigars a week to 100 men would
light the city, and divided among
the voting population of the city, it
would mean 2 each per year, or a
trifle over fifteen cents each per
month. And j'et fifteen cents a
month seems to be too rich for our
"blood.
The
city ' council
report about
1200
could be made available for
lighting purposes. This would leave
$600 to be raised outside. It ought
to be done. The Dalles is a live,
wide awake town, does more busi
ness than any place of its size on the
coast, and yet in some things, and
notably in the matter of lights, it
permits itself to be a back number,
and goes to sleep, from necessity, at
sundown. We believe in municipal
economy, in getting out and keeping
out, of debt; but we do not believe
in that kind of economy that costs
more than it saves.
If The Dalles is to hold its pres
tige as a commercial center, it must
letWts light shine by night as well as
by day.
The supreme court of the state of
Washington has declared the mort
gage law of that state unconstitu
tional. The law provided for a
stay of execution, and prevented sale
of the property for a year after judg
ment. It was declared unconstitu
tional on several grounds, one of
which was that it was retro-active,
and another that it impairs the obli
gations of contracts, and is therefore
in violation of Section 10, Article 1,
of the constitution of the United
States. Populist legislatures in en
deavoring to correct what they con
sidered evils, have generally over
shot the mark, and grasping at too
much, caught nothing. Any legis
lature can make a law, but it takes
lawyers, after all, to pass upon it
when made. It is on the principle
that fools make feasts and wise men
eat them.
Assistant Secretary of the Nary
liooscvelt has been talking to get
newspaper notoriety and ' for no
other purpose. , His assertion that
war between the United States and
Spain is inevitable was made for no
other purpose than to make Roose
velt the subject of newspaper com
ment. He talks too muchT anyway,
even if what he said were true, and
should be asked to 6tep back into the
walks of private life, which his tal
ents so well qualify him to adorn.
The principal ' occupation of the
news gatherers for the Associated
Press seems to be to get up sensa
tional news regardless of truth. The
latest exploit is the assertion that
Japan is sending well-drilled soldiers
to Honolulu, disguised as laborers,
with the intention of capturing the
islands. The navy department has
ordered the gunboat Wneeling to
Honolulu, which probably suggested
the story. .
James J. Corbetl makes the state
ment that Fitzsimmons did not get
a cent of the stake money in the lg
fight at Carson. He asserts that
Fitz made " the proposition to fight
and take fifteen per cent of the yeri
scope receipts as his reward. Cor
bett seems o be proud of this, but
but we see no particular glory in the
fact that Fitzsimmons whipped him
for fun.
