OFFICIALS of the Sherman Electric company will meet with the city council next Monday evening to ask for a 50-year fran chise to operate their lines within the city. Since this was made known at the council meeting last Monday some adverse sentiment has developed over the term of the franchise and there may be opposition presented to prevent the franchise being granted. It is not known that the electric company will be arbitrary about the franchise term. They may not be. But it is more probable that they will be. They are enti tled to be, because they are en titled to sufficient security on the large investment involved in bring ing their power lines into here. The franchise is their only protec tion since they have no power to fix their rates. That rates will be lower when the power line comes is almost certain. It is an acknowledged fact that the plant now furnishing electrical energy to the city is the most expensive to operate of any known, and that the rates now paid here exceed those paid anywhere else in the state. This being true, it can only be acknowledged that the coming of the power line is a mark of progress. Should opposition succeed in preventing the granting of the franchise for a 50-year term, it is probable that it will prevent, or at least delay, the building of the power line to this point. Our peo ple will continue paying the ex cessive rates now in force. Let us be sure we are right be fore attempting to dissuade the city council from granting the franchise asked for.

OREGONIAN. T7XP0NENTS of the theory that 1 federal prohibition is respon sible for increase of deaths from the twin maladies of the toper alcoholism and cirrhosis of the liv er will find no comfort whatever in the recent statisitcal analysis prepared by Professor Irving Fish er of Yale. This authority, whose impartiality is attested by his op position on grounds of expediency to the enactment of war-time pro c7 Heart Jjke Hers O. Lawrence She was an old, old lady- Compelled to sit all day Beside her grat3, or at her And while the time away. Her body had been worn by age; She was so ill and lame Her one release from loneliness Was when a caller came. But, oh, how happy she was then! Her joy burst into bloom. A radiance of gladness drove Away the shades of gloom. Her mind became as keen as that Of any eager child; And we who saw her caught a glimpse Of heaven when she smiled. She could not seek, as others do, The comradeship of friends, And yet she drew them to her side! A heart like hers extends The power of its gentle love In ways we do not know; And even death cannot dispel Its kindly afterglow. hibition, finds a significant rela tionship between the incidence of these diseases and the movement to nullify the prohibition amend ment. "Death rates from alcoholism and cirrhosis," says Professor Fisher, "increased fastest where nullification has been greatest, in particular in New York and Mary land, which have no enforcement codes." The reader will draw his own conclusions as to the moral right of states to withhold co-operation with the federal government. But in the rest of the states for which data are available the mor tality rate is still far below that of pre-prohibition times. In twenty one states and the District of Co lumbia, for example, deaths from alcoholism in 1925 were 74 per cent of the old level, and from cirrhosis 62 per cent. In other words, a fictitious appearance of increase for the country as a whole is caused by inclusion of the fig ures from states which have brought the situation upon them selves. A death rate from alcoholism in 1926 which is 15 per cent higher than the rate from the same cause in 1925 seems a serious matter. It wears a new face, however, when attention is called to Professor Fisher's findings that, excluding two states, there is an actual de crease of 5 per cent. Ten billion more cigarettes were consumed by American peo ple in 1926 than in the year be fore, which is an average of two per day for every man, woman and child in the United States. Have you had your two today? Young Men Prove Worth. OREGON VOTER. WITHOUT exception the younger members of the House who are serving their first in the legislature, are justifying their selection. They are gaining invaluable experience that their constituents should not overlook in the future. They are showing an aptitude for legislative proced ure that is unusual considering the lack of opportunity that some have had for engaging in public delib erations as compared with the ex perience of some of the older members who are serving their first time. Several of them have already displayed unusual ability in committee conferences and in bill analysis. To attempt to enumerate those whom we would consider the younger members, would be haz ardous in view of the reluctance to admit what the calendar tells us. But the tribute is sincere. The presence of these younger members is a guaranty of charac ter and ability of future Oregon legislatures. Thirty-two men and women have been indicted in Pittsburg for election frauds which leads one to think maybe Vare's major ity there will be cut in the Sena torial recount. Why Not a Knockout? MC ADOO'S speech at Toledo, wherein he took up the dry banner against the Smith wets, and started a general rough house in Democratic ranks, could easily be the end toward a final settle ment of whether we are to remain dry or go back to the refreshment stand. Senator Walsh, a wet from Massachusetts, made a very wise comment on the McAdoo speech. Hawthorne Jim door, 311? it Vi j j-n i nify,C, !, 0. Uwinn H.wiEoni Dr.Frank Crane Says I OPINIONS ARE LIKE RIPPLES. OPINIONS are like ripples. How long they last depends upon the surface on which they appear. The mind of the individual who holds the opinion is the sur face whose character determines its lasting quality. Think over your friends. Some change their opinions con tinuously, others with great infrequency. You have seen many kinds of ripples ripples on water, ripples on sand, ripples on ice, and ripple marks in solid lime stone. All are duplicated in the minds of men. On water, ripples alter with each succeeding breath ; in stone they change only with the erosion of years. One type of mind is fluid; another concrete. The first is plastic but unretentive ; the second is retentive but unchanging and indurate. One changes its opinions too infrequently; the other not fre quently enough. In a general way these two characteristics of mind repre sent two stages of life. In youth the tendency is to change our opinions too often. In old age the tendency is to change them too seldom. Youth is a time for ripples on water. It is a time for alter nating, changing open-mindedness, for a sort of sparrow-like hopping from one idea to another. Opinions are formed, destroyed and re-formed with little effort. Old age is a time when the ripples of opinion seem marked in stone. They are fixed. They alter only after long erosion by con trary evidence. Both attitudes are off balance. One leans too far forward, the other too far back. Between the two extremes is the happy mean. Of the two attitudes the one that can be most controlled is that of solidity. Little can be done to change the attitude of the mind of youth, and it has time to steady down anyway. But open-mindedness is a habit that can be cultivated. A new truth is a truth and an old error is an error is a good! motto for advancing years. He said: "It is serving an excell ent purpose in preparing the way for a definite determination by the Democratic Party as to wheth er it will line up with prohibition or against it. It is an irrepressible conflcit that cannot be escaped. By throwing down the gage of bat tle in behalf of the drys, the Mc Adoo speech serves a useful pur pose. There are thinking men every where who are of the opinion that the healthiest thing that could now happen would be for the republi can party to bring the same thing to pass within its ranks. If some one like Senator Wadsworth, New York wet Republican or Nicho las Murray Butler, a party factor, would force the party to decide the issue in presenting a wte candi date and insisting upon a wet plank as Governor Smith is do ing in the Democratic ranks, then we would be getting somewhere. It is conceded by many that there will never be a decisive referen dum in a pre-convention or con vention decision by the Democrats alone. Give Them Intellectual Liberty. . RADICALS opposed to the rights of school teachers to intellectual liberty and free speech received a bloody nose when they went to listen to President S. S. Menken of the National Security League. He said: "No man is good enough to do another man's thinking, and teachers who are in the main hard-working, self-sacrificing, grossly underpaid public servants, should not be humiliated by being denied the rights of free thought and free speech." Isn't there a world of truth in those few words? If any class of people should be able to stand on their own feet, hold their heads high, do their own thinking and have the right to express their op inions, it is the teacher. Humilia tion such as some of our teachers throughout the nation are sub jected to is bad for society, bad for the teachers," bad for the taught. We want no moulding of the minds of youth by sneaks or slaves. Lawbreakers Beware! Kiowa County, Kansas, can now joast of the first woman, sheriff n the Sun Flower State.
