A r.ii'd wail went up in Heppner a neck or so ago through the columns of our esteemed contemporary, be cause of the fact that Portland and the Willamette Valley and Western Oregon, had apparently gobbled up all the offices to be handed out in connection with the State Chamber of Commerce. Brother Pattison shed some croco dile tears and proceeded to show how "it is ever thus" when anything of this nature comes up, and we are led to believe that a gross injustice was r.nne, at least to Heppner and Morrow county. We sha',1 not attempt any apologies for the Herald, as that paper has taken upon itself the great burden of righting all the wrongs to which his adopted section of the state ap pears to him to be suffering from, but will say that a full report of the proceedings of the organization of the State Chamber of Commerce is printed in this issue, taken from the Oregon Voter and reported to that paper by its editor, C. C. Chapman, who was on the ground and took part lu the deliberations and helped .o form the organization. It covers tho ground fully and shows hew well the State Chamber of Commerce repre sents the entire state. That Heppner did not get some of the leading places among the officers of the organization should be no cause of complaint. Heppner is not entitled to the chief assets.

In a few days now the scattered uuregenerated sections of the nation will perchance climb up on the water wagon and see a number of things they have been nifssiug. A lot of men will get acquainted with their families, and will lose that close touch with the bartender ihat once was the attribute of urban manhood. While this natioual aridity Is sup posed to be only until demobilization is over, it takes but a feeble tore- caster to see the future far enough to vision national prohibition as the established order, whether it be by state action or constitutional amend ment. The day of the booze hound lias about passed. For the first time in the world's recorded history, aim from now on we will make progress without making cocktails, and im bibe knowledge without Imbibing malt and vlnuous compounds. The fellows who climb up beside the millions of their dry brethren will find there are such a lot of things In the world that they never knew existed that In six months thfe sight of a white apron and a mixing glass won't even stir a single envious pang. We know this because in all tht states that have been going dry ao ardently these last ten years there is not, so far as we have discovered. a single newspaper of standing, an organization, a labor union, or even a politician that is not satisfied. We note that states that go dry by a narrow majority increase the dry majority every time thay v.ote on the question thereafter, and that none for months past, and the State states that adopt mild statutes soon Chamber, of Commerce is so con- vote jn drastic ones, and eaforcb stituted and organized as to give them. proper recoguuiuu UU ine n.e ouea.

The situation reflects on the intelligence and energy of our people. Oregon will never come Into its own until it makes use of its "white coal." Such development will never come under private control. Private ment of electrical energy means minimum development anJ maximum' rates. Governmental development means maximum development and the lowest possible rates.
