THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Why Block Progress?
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.

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

in the recent statisitcal analysis
prepared by Professor Irving Fish

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

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.

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.
