THAT FKANCHISK.
The announcement that the
county court has granted a fran
chise to a railroad corporation
along the public highway from
Eola to Balem caused some sur
prise among the busy farmers of
Polk county, who have not had
time to keep themselves posted
in the matter. Not that the pub
lie generally objects to a rail
road along the route proposed
or find fault with the granting
of the franchise, so far as it is
understood, but there is criti
cism of the court for making so
important an order without giv
ing the subject thorough pub
licity. Secrecy is the hiding
place of all forms of jobbery.
Publicity is the greatest safe
guard to the people's interest
and a barricade against official
delinquency. It is not the pur
pose of this paper to state at
this time, that the Salem, Falls
City & Western Railway com
pany should be denied the fran
chise it has been granted. The
West Side Enterprise goes on
record as favoring the road.
But it does not favor the grant
ing of a franchise, affecting the
public highways of the county,
to the Salem, Falls City & West
ern or any other corporation
until the public has been duly
apprized and given time to dis
cuss the matter. Along the
route of the proposed road, the
public, it seems, were notified of
the purpose of the road and it is
a significant fact that a gener
ously signed protest against in
terference with the public high
way was promptly filed by them.
These people a3 well as every
one who travels that thorough
fare, certainly have rights that
ought to be respected. Further
more, this franchise practically
closes up the only pass from
Salem to Eola. With this pass
secured, the key to a railroad
south from Salem is hold. It is
not the purpose to charge the
Salem, Falls City & Western
with bad faith nor the county
with giving away the people's
rights or property. The court
made bold to act in the matter,
and willingly shouldering bo
grave a responsibility, it is to be
presumed that the traveling
public is protected and that the
county gets fair compensation
for its franchise. It is pre
sumed that the corporation has
not slipped up on the blind side
of the court and secured a val
uable pass without being bound
up to actually build a road with
in a specified time.
SENATOlt LA FOLL12TTE.
The country is watching the
career of Robert M. Lafollette,
the junior senator from Wiscon
sin, with interest. Lafollette is
able, conscientious, fearless.
Though young in the senate he
has forced recognition. Though
senatorial tradition sought to si
lence his maiden efforts it only
unstopped the ears of the great
American people and gave uni
versal interest in his utterances.

Every move of the Aldrich lead

When Lafollette arose to his

a telling blow the packed gallery
loudly approved and the gavel

Even the prune crop is at a

Gaekwar, Majarajah of JBaroda,

Dreyfus Vindicated.
Many years ago Zola and other ad
herents of the persecuted French army
officer Dreyfus predicted that the judg
ment of the court innrtlul which In 1809
found him guilty of treason to his flag
would one day be reversed. The court
recommended him to mercy, and he
was immediately pardoned by the ex
ecutive. Tor seven years he lived on
under the taint of having been found
guilty.
Recently the whole of France wel
comed the quashing of the verdict of
the court martial. It has been shown
that the evidence upon which he was
condemned was forged, that witnesses
perjured themselves nnd that testimo
ny favoring the accused was sup
pressed. Fortunately vindication does
not come too late. Dreyfus lives to
confront his fellow countrymen freed
from the taint put upon him. True,
his career has been blighted, but he Is
the hero of one of the most remarka
ble victories over national prejudice
and racial fury the world has ever witnessed.
Metal Industry, referring to the use
of aluminium cables, says that the Ni

company has planned to transmit elec
tric power with aluminium cables as
far east from Niagara as Syracuse, N.
Y., a distance of 100 miles, and is con
sidering a transmission line as far west
as Cleveland, O., a distance of 200
miles. The Niagara and Syracuse line
Is partially finished. No current has
been carried to New York city from Ni
agara, and Metal Industry says thai to
the best of Its knowledge and belief no
corporation is at present planning to
send Niagara electric power to New
York, which would require a cable line
of 400 miles.
Yes, cold storage chickens will have

That farmer who neither drinks,

Every town in the valley near the Willamette river will eventually be
come a thriving manufacturing center, as all the essentials are here the
raw material and adequate transportation facilities. Better invest now.
