Mayor Dick Tensen believes it to be a necessity and of urgent importance to the Gate City and many will agree with him. A sewer system entails an expense, the big share to be boine by the property owners within the sewer district, presumably the business section, and the remainder to be spread over the city. However, the expense divided over the entire community would not be burdensome, Mayor Tensen believes. The council received an estimate some months ago and undoubtedly the cost would be even lower as all prices have declined since then. If the city was over burdened with debt, it might not be wise to plan the sewer project, but, fortunately, this is not the case. Nyssa is in excellent financial condition, with a comparatively small indebtedness on water systems and street improvement. Few towns in Oregon are in better shape, said Mr. Tensen. Lack of a sewer system results in an unhealthful condi- tion.

Lack of adequate sewage has proved very incon venient to business establishments and is said to have re tarded the town to a certain extent. It appears that building a sewer system is a very com mendable project for 1932. The Journal invites the discus sion of its readers.

THE IRONY OF FATE Voice of the Press Finland To Abandon Prohibition Like It or not, Finland has voted after a long trial to abandon prohibition. The overwhelming wet vote may be taken as an unanswerable proof that in the opinion of the people over there the dry law has failed to improve conditions. This vote does not mean that pro hibition has failed In America or any other country except Finland and It does not mean th at the Scandinavian republic may not be back on the water wagon again after she tries the open saloon for a few years. No system of regulating or prohibit ing use of liquor is satisfactory or can be until the thirst for it is removed from human lips. When that will be we shall not venture to predict, but nobody now living will see the end of the "booze question,” in Finland, America or anywhere else. The Finnish result will, however, give force to arguments of American wets for another expression from the people on the issue.—Baker Herald. spend the holidays with her son Orville and is under the car« of -Dr. >. j.

C. Ben Ross, Alexander served two terms following his election in the fall of 1914. An emigrant to this country from Bavaria, Germany, he built up in Idaho one of the largest mercantile enterprises in the state and acquired an outstanding position in his party, which he held until his death.

He served two terms as mayor of Boise. He came to Boise 40 years ago from Chillicothe, Mo., where he had been engaged in the clothing business. He married Helena Kaestney in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1876 and they had four children. PARADES, TH E CEMETERY AND PLAYGROUND There has always been a thrill to marching men, ever since the first knights went forth, steel clad, to seek the Grail. Small boys instinctively parade to the sound of a round red drum and little tin horn. There is an innate mar tial rythm in man that makes him join ranks. But war itself is a bitter reality. The heraldry that pre cedes it is nothing more than a dazzling flash in the pan. Broken ranks, mute reminders of half-remembered bat tles, show that. Slim green beds in other lands, too far away for flower tributes, are added testimony. The dream-scoured hearts of the men who came home aren’t always pleasant places. Battle fires leave scars sometimes, that *13 years are slow to heal. An army on parade is a glamorous thing. An army in action is a tragedy. The brave gleam of the passing hel mets doesn’t lead to the playground. The bravery which the soldiers displayed in battles, half-lost under the tangled weeds of 13 years, isn’t forgot ten. It made a tremendous impression on civilization. Be cause the suffering that went with it has dragged its scar across the years is added reason that the time for the abo lition of war, so far as is possible, is at hand. World leaders aren’t seeking a millennium. They aren’t pleading for pity—just workable principles of carrying on the game. Men should march. They keep step better when they swing down the way. But they should not have to march to battle. Nor should they be called upon to surrender their common heritage, lamplight at dusk, firelight on the floor, rain on the roof, children’s voices. The man whose conscience never troubles him must have it pretty well trained. j Phones: Office 171—Res. 220 Dr. J. W.
