ADVERTISING RATES GIVEN ON APPUCATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year Six lionthi Three Month Single Copies , U.OO 1.00 .It . .06 MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Not So Good. THE metropolitan or big city press shows recent inclina tion to stir things up a bit, partic ularly in regard to the make-up or the membership of Congress. In the last few sessions things haven't gone along as smoothly or as easily for capital as had been expected judged by achievement of other years. In other words, measures or bills, such as the Mc-Nary-Haugen farm relief effort, showed a line-up not at all com forting to capital or the interests. A repeal of the direct primary is one subtle method which might help return full political power to capital. . Another method might be to have the country force a re distribution of seats in Congress for both Senate and House which, if based on population, would, give overwhelming domin ance in Federal Government to the city districts. It is true that twenty-five of our least populous states have fifty votes in the Senate or from a rep resentative population of, say twenty million people. The other twenty-three states, with a popula tion ot eighty-six million, have forty-six votes in the Senate. Al so, that failure of Congress to re distribute seats in the House of Representatives since the 1910 census, as constitutionally order ed, perhaps needs attention. However, there are two sides to every question and if agricul ture and labor expect ever to at tain or retain a voice in how they are to be governed, then they would do well to be on guard and think twice before endorsing movements for legislative changes which on the face may appear on ly just and fair. The Right to Serve. WHILE there are a few cities of Oregon in the electric light and power business, the gen eral tendency in this state and throughout the country is toward private ownership and operation of these utilities. Last year 105 municipal plants in 27 states went into the hands of regulated com panies by vote of the people of the cities concerned. In Oregon the city of McMinn ville is one of those operating a municpal plant. The city has been fortunate in having the srevices of high class citizens on its local commission, but the rates in Mc Minnville for light and power are much higher than the average for the state. The city manufactures its own power and with an excess production is contemplating the DnErank Crane Says 4 1 ' III . YOUR KNOWLEDGE HAS POWER KNOWLEDGE is power sometimes. It is power only when it is practical knowledge. The mere acquisition of facts and information may make a man informed, but unless those facts apply to what he under takes they do not increase his power. You may learn all the intimate facts about all the Kings of England without helping you appreciably in the cement business. It may make it easier to live with yourself, but it will not in crease your power. Barrie has a play about a yacht full of educated people which goes aground upon an uninhabited island. The only man who knows what to do is the uneducated but ler. He builds a shelter and hunts for food while the others stand helpless. What little education he had was of a practical sort that applied to the needs of the moment. He had power because his knowledge applied there. In a drawing-room conversation the others would have had power because their knowledge fitted the needs of that situation. Those who speak of the faliure of education make the mis take of thinking that power is the only end of knowledge. Knowledge is of three kinds. There is knowledge that gives power; knowledge that gives culture; knowledge that gives wisdom. Knowledge is like the food we take into our systems. Part of this food goes to make flesh, part to make blood and part goes to make the structure of the bones. So only a part of knowledge goes to make power. Some men without any broad education attain positions of great em inence because the narrow range of their informaton is all practical and applicable to their work. ' Another part of knowledge feeds' culture. It gives interests and ideas and appreciations that make men's lives more en joyable and full. And another part of knowledge gives wisdom. It builds self-control and understanding. A man may be powerful like Alexander the Great, or cultured like Oscar Wilde, and know not the meaning of wisdom. And as Durant, using the popular adage loosely, says: Knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. ' -finite.- Mary's Calves Mary had two pretty calves; They are both creamy white.

Sprig Is Heah sale of electric energy in the rural districts in Yamhill county, and in so doing has encountered probable competition with the Yamhill Elecrtic Co., which serves urban and rural territory in Yamhill, Washington and Marion counties, but doing business principally in Yamhill, where it paid taxes last year amounting to $9,777.92. While the public interest would unquestionably be best served through operations of the Yamhill Electric Co., the city of McMinn ville has appealed to the public service commission to stop the company from extending its trans mission lines from the Tualatin highway to the county road which leads from McMinnville to Carl ton. Just what action will be tak en by the commission remains to be seen, but it should be said that the city of McMinnville does not come under the jurisdiction of the commission, which has no power to regulate its rates as it does for the Yamhill Electric Co. and oth er privately owned and operated concerns. Neither does the city ot McMinnville contribute a dol lar in taxes to the city or county where it does business, although the saving in taxes does not ap pear to be reflected in the rates charged by the city. The situation is of particular interest to tbe people of Yamhill county, but has a general appeal to the people of the state at large as affecting the right of a utility regulated by the state to transact business in a community where it has a heavy investment and where it bears a large share of the tax burden.

Miuj- Tell Another One, Major. PORTLAND TELEGRAM. MAJOR RUPERT HUGHES, smarting under the printed and verbal lashines administered to him when he attacked the char acter of George Washington in a lecture about a year and a half ago, and since the publication of his biography of our first presi dent, announces that he has still further proof to back up his state mentsand which he may publish. Hughes as a writer of stories, playwright, soldier, motion picture director, has been successful. But as a lecturer and a biographer he has failed. His lecture on the di vorce evil the one in which he was wont to tell his audiences fa cetiously that if he had a wife with whom he could not agree, he'd murder her fell flat. His lec ture in which he attempted to prove that God doesn't live met a failure exceeded only by the one in which he declared that Wash ington was a hard drinker, played cards, failed to attend church, "cut communion," and was not over particular regarding his conduct with women. His "biography" is only an extension of the lecture. Admithting that Washington was just the sort of a man Hughes has pictured him; admitting he was a breaker of feminine hearts admitting, for the sake of argu ment, that each and every one of Hughes statements is true, what we should like to know, can be the good of bringing them up at this day? What good can Hughes or anyone else serve by bringing to the light of day the private life of Washington, or of any other man who has been in the tomb for more than one hundred years? that is, even it the tales are true The world has long recognized the worth of George Washington, his sincerity of purpose, his un selfishness and his devotion to the cause of freedom, as it has not forgotten nor will ever forget the good that came from his clear, straightforward and honest think ing. uooaness Knows that no one considers Washington to have been a saint. He was subject to the temptations of the flesh the same as other men. But he was a strong character, and as near as any man who ever lived conquer ed himself. What Hughes has attempted to show is that liquor did Washing ton no harm, therefore, if he was able to imbibe and yet be come famous, why not let down the bar or restore the bars, as it were and pass the bottle as in the days of yore? If Washington drank and no one doubts that he did, for nearly everyone imbibed in those days what has that to do with conditions in the United States in this year of grace 1927?
