THE system adopted by Governor West and the parole board re garding the parole of prison ers, or pardoning of the name from the penitentiary is a mis taken ona The Intent is no doubt good, but it may well be doubted if the plan is so. Under the present sys tem, parole or pardons are kept se cret, that is, they are tried to be kept so, bnt within a week or two at the most they become public anyway, and the fact that the parolee are not made public simply calls attention to them and causes wider comment and more publicity than they otherwise would have had; and publicity is exactly what the board is trying to avoid. The mo tives of the bosrd in doing this are good, for the Intent Is to allow a pa roled prisoner to go at large without the fact that he has been in the peni tentiary following him, and so handi eapping him In his efforts to find em ployment and lead a square life. As we have stated, every parole is soon found out anyway and is given wider publicity because of the attempt to koep It secret. And so, instead of ac- eomplishing the objects Sought, tends but to defeat It. Then, looked at from another stand point, what right has a public officer to keep his acts as such from the pub lic t The books of every officer, all pulilie records, should be open to pub lic Inspection, and tho records of the parolo board should be no exception. Wc beliove in tho widest publicity of all official acts. The people should!"? on a" investigation except in a know all things that their officials do, '""Hory sort of way, and that tho only and this from governor down to the.w-v ,ft overcome this is by an ordi lowest office in tho list. It is uot only j "a" Kivi,lK thm tl,flt poworrand also the prisoner who Is affected by the rowor to administer oaths and compel action of the board, but the peop:o have to testify. Without such pow- a right to know every act of the board, th f"TJ investigations will be and In this case the rights or prospects . f"e nliKht i"9t " wn" of the prisoner are consulted rather !bfl lnPH h"forB Br0 b"""' than the rights of the citizen. The h(,r, havo bwn of fullest frankness between officials and"'1 'onntoreharges raado especially in the people is the only correct basis on which to conduct tho peoplo's business, and tho acts of tho parole board are no exception to the rule. SUGAR, THE TARIFF, AND RUIN. J A. OILMAN, a prominent sugar grower of Honolulu, who was in Portland yesterday but is 0 presumably on his way to Washington to lay his trou bles before the senate, but not, of course, as a lobbyist, pours out a tale of woo in tho Oregonian showing how the sugar industry of the Hawaiian Tslnnds is going to the eternal demni tion bow wows if the sacred tnriff on sugar Is reduced. He says the Ger mans can grow sugiir cheaper than any other nation and Germany would fined the markets and ruin the Industry. Of course Mr. Gilman only deals In glit tering generalities. He doesn't tell us how much sugar the German eople can uiako. He just points out that they ran Ml It cheaper. Let us examine the figures, Tho United States produces of cane and beet sugar aniiunlly 775,000 tons, Cuba furnishes us 1, 0115,000 tons. Torto Rica and the Philippines send us .110, 000 tons. The Hawaiian Islands send (500,000 tons, and Java, Germany and all other foreign count riea 105,000 tons. In addition to this, the United Wales makes 15,000 tons of maple sugar an nually. The total amount of sntir therefore consumed in the United States yearly is 5,500,000 tons. All for eign countries now supply 105,000 tons of this. If the sugar industry is to be put nut of business in this country by the reduction of the tnriff, where LADD & BUSH, Bankers j; TRANSACTS A GFXIRAL BASKHfl BIMJIK8S. SAFETY DL roSIT BOXES. TRITELERS CHECKS. i "Want" ads aid is the supply to take its place to come froraf If the Germans can raise sugar cheaper than any other people, can they raise the quantity necessary to supply the 3,395,000 tons now getting the benefit of a protective tariff and which would, so Mr. Gilman says, be mined and put out of business if the tariff is reduced! Evidently, Germans are not producing this amount of sugar now. If so, where do they sell itf And if they make it and it should be di verted from its present market to that of the United States, who would sup ply the market thus left vacant? As a matter of fact, Germany is now pro ducing about all the sugar she Is cap able of prodncing, and to let that little 105,000 tons in free of duty is not go ing to ruin anyone. It may reduce the profits, but it will not reduce them below the point of a just and fair profit. Any decrease below that point would curtail production and at once send the price up again to the profit making point. All products fluctuate on account of crop conditions and sugar j will obey this law. Mr. Gilman and the .other tariff bonoficiaricB' Halloween pumpkin and candle ghostB is no longer sufficient to frighten the American people, who have learned that it is not the real thing bnt only "punk." GIVE THE COMMITTEES POWER. I T IS CLAIMED that the committees appointed or to be appointed to in vestigate tho police and firo de partments have no authority to subpoena witnesses or to, in fact, tho police department; all kinds of re criminations indulged in, and if they are to be investigated, they should be investigated thoroughly, so that when the matter is ended the atmosphere will bo thoroughly cleared and a new start can be made. Lot us havo a thor oughly fair, unbiased and unprejudiced committee with full power to probe the whole matter thoroughly, placo the blame, if any, whero it belongs, spit on tho Blato and wipe out tho whole transaction and get down to business again. Astoria Medics Object. Astoria, Or., June fl. Tho new law that requires a man to produce a cer tificate of health before ho can obtain a marringo license, which went Into effect In this stato Tuesday, Is going to prove impracticable, according to local physicians today, a few of whom havo refused to Issue the certificates requested because they could not con scientiously do so. The fee provided by law is $2.50 and local physicians de clare they can not mnko a competent testimony under three weeks, and fur thermore say few of them havo the necessary equipment for making a thorough blood test. No physician could undertake to make the tost for less than $13 or 1-0, they say, and a few in the city have even refused to put their signatures to a certificate for that amount.

This illustrates the perversity of the human mind even in habies, for to have tried to give that dope to the kid would have required ' holding its nose and much squalliug. ' The fact that it was a girl baby may account for some of the perverseness. I ....

Albee, Daly, Dieck, Bigelow, Brew ster and Barbur.' Portland didn't go far down in the alphabet to select her officers. While jarring the stay-at-home non voters, it might be possible that they really elected Albee and the ticket in Portland. A man who hasn't interest enough is an election to go to the polls and vote can hardly be trusted to vote right in case he could be induced to vote at all. It may be the stay-at-homes really did the electing. The Oregonian is jubilant over "Portland's good fortune" in electing Albee. Jubilation and congratulation are all right, but if it is done two years from now for the same cause, it will be still more all lighter.

This firm is composed of A. Ashla and H. 8. Bom, two young gentlemen thoroughly wide-awake and progressive. Both have had many years' experience, Mr. Ashla being from the east. Mr. Bom has had 20 years' experience in the buying and handling of medium furniture and house furnishings. Since locating in this city, September 1, 1912, they have enjoyed a pood share of the patronage of this district. A high grade, of medium-priced furniture, ranges, rugs, linoleum and house fur nishings can always be found at their sales rooms. Having ample space the various lines are unusually well dis played. ' The agency of the well-known "Quick Meal" Range has been placed with them. Almost everyone knows the many advantages of this range over the many other ranges now offered. Among the many are: 1 a range built with but few rivets. 2 A range with automatic expan sion tubes that cannot warp. 3 A range that takes more brains than hammers to make. 4 A range that cuts your fuel bill in half. 5 A range that will do the work as represented, wear as represented and is as represented first-class in every re spect. 6 The door frame attached to body of range is nickel plated. The door frame proper is cast iron, nickel plated and has a porcelain enameled panel. 7 The range body sets on a largo, massive porcelain enameled base, which can bo removed and taken through a 2o inch space. 8 The high closet is of the latest de sign with two compartments nicely nickled. 9 Double air space under oven, fire box with lining over IVi inch thick, removable grate, thereby preventing the banking of ashes, which destroys the linings. Reservoir heats water quickly, and is easy to clean. The back, bottom of oven, flues and all inner wall aro porcelain enameled inside and out and canot rust. This firm now has a voting contest on, giving away one of these ranges ab solutely free. It will pay you to call at their .salesrooms, inspect the various lines and have a salesman explain to you the workings of this "Quick Meal" Rango. WHAT IS THE TRUTH? (Continued from yesterday.) A tried and well-trained reporter goes to a loading hotel and interviews a fa mous visitor. Ho listens carefully to what the visitor says, makes notes, comes back to his desk and writes just what he heard. When the celebrated visitor reads the interview it does not sound as he thought it would and he promptly writes the editor a letter say ing he was misquoted. A well educated woman of good fam ily of this city witnesses an accident on a downtown street. She is quite sure that she saw all that happened, but when she gets the evening paper and reads the account therein she at once declares that it isn't at all like what happened. 8he feels that the pa per either deliberately falsified or was very careless in its gathering of the news. Yet if her testimony and that of the reporter were put up to a jury tho .chances aro the reporter's would stand because he Investigated and ask ed questions, whereas she was merely an onlookor, and heard the rumors which radiate out through the usual crowd gathering at the scene of the ac cident. Again, a person sitting In a emir: room and watching the procedure nnl hearing witnesses is very apt tj sa when reading a few hours later a train ed reporter's accou.'t of the sai:e teli mony that the reporter n.issed so-no vi ta points and twisted other points to suit his story. Yet' ths sam.) person when relating what he aw and 'ie;iid in the court room unconsciously decs the same thing bearing down on I he points that impressed him and gi.vin'; the conclusions that ho reached. This i nol falsifying in either case, it i just difference of opinion. (To be continued.) Each age of our lives hss its joys.
