HOW TO TREAT A CERTAIN' CASK
Portland. March 16, 1915. The
working out of details in connection
with the consolidation of the Port
land Commercial Club and the Cham
ber of Commerce i.s progressing rap
idly and smoothly and within a very
short time all the varied, and fre
quently duplicated, activities of these
two important bodies will be welded
into one harmonious and effective
unit. I'nder the direction of the new
organization the work of develop
ment of the state and its resources
will receive more consideration than
ever before. The budget commit
tee is unanimous in the opinion that
greater efforts should be made in tin
future to assist established indus
tries in all the communities of the
state and that it is up to Portland to
live up to the record already made
in this line and to make great addi
tions to the work already outlined.
The entire strength of the organi
zation will be united in a comprehen
sive program for the development of
Oregon; to help farmers to profit
ably market their produce; to finance
the small farmer who finds himself
unable to secure a suitable location;
to welcome the new settler and help
him to select and establish a new
hornet to take care of the great num
ber of travelers expected to visit the
state during the present year and to
effectively apply the knowledge gain
ed during the past ten years to meet
ing the present and future require
ments of the business interests of the
whole state.
Ground has been broken for the
construction of the great inter
state bridge which is to connect the
citv of Portland with Vancouver,
Washington, and which will be an im
portant link in the Pacific Highway,
one of the most remarkable thor
oughfares in the United States. As
far as possible all contracts for the
work have been let to local firms and
preferance will be given to locally
produced materials and to local
labor. Necessary funds are availa
ble for driving the work to an early
completion.
The fashion seems to be' increasing
with a certain class of human brutes
to kill women who refuse to marry
them and then to kill themselves.
It is generally the rule to say that
such men are temporarily insane and
to give them funerals to which the
morbid Hock and send flowers.
Our belief is that such a course is
a decided mistake, that the body of
such a creature should be secretly
buried at night and those who do the
work be sworn never to reveal the
place for there is a vast amount of
method in thut order of madness.
If the history of a murderer of that
kind is run down, it will be found
that all his life he had been supreme
ly selfish, impatient of any restraint,
undisciplined, naturally envious and
jealous and at the same time insuf
ferably vain.
When such a creature is attracted
toward a woman, he never thinks of
her happiness or what is due her;
lather he pursues only his own sor
did and selfish desires, and when bat
tled he is at first filled with self pity
and this is followed by his vanity and
self esteem prompting him to make
a dramatic display.
If such an one knew' in advance
that if he did what lie was meditat
ing to do he would go to an unknown
and unmarked grave followed only
by the contempt of all who heard his
name, in nine cases out of ten he
would not be crazy enough to carry
out his purpose. Goodwin's Weekly.

A campaign has been launched at
Eugene to raise $150,000 for the
establishment of a lace factory at
that point. It is said the Pacific
Coast pays out $500,000 to $700,000

that a local factory could secure the
bulk of that business.

The Aeroplane's Uses in War.
As the aeroplane is built to-day, it
has only two uses in war that are
really material, or likely to influence
the general course of a campaign
Those are as scout and director of
artillery fire. Upon occasion, of
course, it is used as a real offensive
weapon; from it aviators drop b.imbs
and tiny steel arrows upon the enemy
or make swift dashes into the hostile
territory, and there bombard an air
ship shed, and destroy or disable the
lurking monster within it. Occas
ionally, one of these aeroplanes may
meet a slower-flying craft and put it
out of action, or swooping down upon
the enemy, it may stampede their
horses, but these services are inci
dental to its chief work. It is when
the scouting airman, flying ahead of
an army, are able to warn its com
mander of some impending attack
that threatens to overwhelm him,
that they render a service that may
alter the fortunes of a battle, or
even change the whole course of a
great campaign. Claud Grahanie
White, on "Aircraft in War," in The
Youth's Companion.

Mrs. L. G. Herren
Gov. Withycombe has signed the
prohibition law passed by the legis
lature, but it seems probable it will
be taken before the people in Novem
ber at a referendum election. Here
is a clear abuse of this device for
nnnnliir envernment. The people
have spoken in unmistakable voice
in favor of prohibition. The question
of general policy is settled, beyond
the power of legislature to alter. In
accord with the mandate of the peo
nlp the legislature has endeavored
to draft a law which shall define the
terms and conditions of the enforce
ment of the law.
Prnnerlv used, the initiative and
refprpnriiim should be emuloved to
fflln the nnnular exDression on ciues-
tions of general policy. The elector
ate of the state at large is noi me
hnHv hefore which to submit a meas
ure treating merely with administra
tive details. That can be considered
unrl pflinstpii far better bv a smaller
body, acting with delegated author
ity. If the law this body enacts
nmvps rtpflnipnt in Rnv resieot. that
-
same body should be best able to cor
rect its faults.
in another resDect the prospective
referendum of the law has created
widespread resentment. For years
tiio nponle of Oreeon. as of every oth
er state and of many foreign nations,
havp hpen pnoearovliiK to rid uiem-
ooivoa nf the evilH of the excessive
use of alcoholic drink. Every move
they have made lias been met Dy
snme praftv. underhanded scheme to
defeat their purpose. The men who
profit by the business have failed ut-
torlv tn pvasn the situation. Instead
of seeking to eliminate the admitted
evils of the business, they have
ami flit to nernetuate those evils by
tricking the homeiovers' of the com-
mnnitv. So now. it is felt that a ret
premium will have its origin in an
attempt at sharp practice in the hope
that the evil business may continue
a Httle loneer.
However, Oregon will have to be
dry after the first of next year, wnat
oi.pr ho thf fate of the oresent law.
The constitutional amendment can
and will be enforced with the assisi
onno nf court decisions, even if the
law should be defeated. The chances
are, however, that the law will be
iiwinrscH hv a maioritv even greater
that that given the amendment. It
is the duty of everyone interested in
making and keeping Oregon dry, to
prepare now or a possible fall cam
ni;rn so that, a vote that shall leave
no doubt in the mind of any trickster
shall be recorded at the polls. En

TSI .' I LATIO.V NEEDED.
The recent failure of three mutual
fire insurance companies in Oregon
jimws the need of more stringent in
ver.tigation and regulation of the (ire
it'i'.iirniice business and more care on
the part of policyholders in buying
insurance. For two years these com
panies had been paying in losset
(more than they had been receiving in
premiums while making public state
ments that their affairs were in good
shane. An investigation by the new
Insurance Commissioner brought
about a receivership. Ti;e future of
these companies would not be so
serious a mater if policyholders were
no compelled to dig down In their
pockets to make up the deficit. Those
ahle to oav the assessment will hr
compelled to do so. Those against
whom a judgment means nothing win
have had cheap insurance at the ex
pense ' of the other fellow. Those
against whom a judgment is collecti
ble will probably find that their in
surance has cost them as much as if
it had been taken in a company with
a safe reserve fund while they have
been encouraging unfair competition
with safe business.
The Sentinel has no fault to find
with the principles of mutual insur
ance but it does believe in a square
deal to those companies (mutual or
otherwise) that are amply protecting
policyholders, and believes that pur
chasers should take a care that they
are not fooled as policyholders in
these three defunct companies were
fooled. Cottage Grove Sentinel.
