SENATOR HARE'S DANGEROUS TALK THERE was a sample in the state senate yesterday of the crass ignorance and mossbackism that is keeping Oregon a backward state. Opposing the Joseph power bill Sen ator Hare took the view that big power development cannot come about in Oregon "until there is a demand for it" The senator is evidently unaware that railroads in Oregon are operated by coal and oil imported from other states at high prices, while at our very door one of the greatest potential hydro electric streams of the world is totally unused. He has apparent ly not heard of the Umatilla rapids project or the fact that the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad ia eWtrifiori nn thA Milwaukee there are 61 electric locomotives in use and they displace 162 coal burning locomotives. Senator Hare evidently does not know there are more than a half million acres of land along the Columbia that may be reclaimed through pumping if cheap power can be provided. The senator seems unaware of t!e fact that we can use electricity for cooking, heating and the operation of farm machinery if power can be had at the prices obtaining in Ontario, Canada, w here people have awakened on Ibis subject. . Talk of there being no demand fop power is tiresome in view of the facts in the casexsupremely tiresome. The Joseph bill may have been, too sweeping in its provisions but the attitude of men like Senator Hare is infinitely more dangerous to Oregon than is the attitude of men like Senator Joseph. At Umatilla rapids alone power that is conservatively worth $5,000,000 ,a year is being wasted. It is a scandal and reflects upon the busi ness intelligence of oor people., It is time for men like Senator Hare to wake up. (By Dr. William E. Barton) HAT genial American poet, Sam Walter Foss, touched a responsive chord in contemporary life, when he wrote his poem, "The House by the Side of the Road." He found in Homer a line which told of a certain gracious, char acter, that "He was a friend to man, and he lived in a house by the side of the road." Whether his place of residence was voluntarily chosen and hence the expression -of his friendship for humanity, or whether it was accidental, and its opportunities well improved made the owner Increasingly hospitable and kindly, we may not know ; l ut in the American poem the place of residence was voluntas i!y chosen. "I and Homer collaborated," wrote Mr. Foss. There Was a time when men who knew the world to be sin? ful supposed themselves to have no way of keeping themselves holy and of gaining additional holiness but by retiring to the desert and living lives of sanctified uselessness. We have found that the best type of holiness comes not in that way. We know who taught us a better way; "I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world. but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil that is in the world." That was the program of Jesus. His apostle Paul had this idea : .... "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.' That is the program of being in the world, and not being dominated by its evil influences, but of using every opportunity for good. And that is the program of the man m "lhe House ly the side of the Road" : "Let me- live in a house by the side of the road, Where the race of men bo by The men who are good and the nten who are bail, .As good and as bad as I, ' BiiF' Tfc'V fclaYfiiSSSI I wilt not sit in the scornerHi seat, , Xor hurl the cynic's ban, ' Let me live In a house by the side of the .road. And be a friend to man." It is possible for us to wall ourselves in with a spirit of com placancy. and let the toiling world go by. It is possible to find our home In some remote habitation where the pain and hunger of the world shall not greatly dis turb us. But it is better to live beside the highway of toil, in a house with an open door, and be a friend to man. , ............. ' SCIENCE SAYS NO AN we ever communicate with the dead is a subject that has vexed scientists and the spintualisticly inclined for ages. It is a problem to which even Thomas A. Ldison is devoting attention. If we accept the view of the average man of science the answer will be in the negative. "Science has absolutely no evidence that personality exists after death," said Dr. G. C. Basset, psychologist at Reed college, commenting upon Thomas A. Edison's latest idea. Dr. Basset views with skepticism Edison's plan to communicate with the dead, and said that he does not believe any human device will ever be constructed that will bridge the chasm between the liv ing organisrh and the abstract concept of a spirit life after death. "Science knowsjiothing about the individual units referred to by Edison which would cause a relationship to exist after bod ily co-ordination had ceased," said Dr. Basset. "Sir Oliver Lodge, in his experiments, has forsaken the methods of science, and he is prejudiced toward belief. Prejudice in scientific ex periment is fatal to accurate interpretation of data."
