FRESHMAN GIRLS ARE
AFTER THE SENIORS

After two days of a ratless, paint
less. puffless existence, the freshman
girls of the high school are display
ing signs of an impending rebellion
which may flareforth at at any mo-
ment. The cause Of their dlssatisfac-
ton is an alleged violation of the
terms of the agreement entered into
between themselves and the co-eds of
the upper classes to the effect that
all artificial beautifers be dispensed
with.
A delegation of the insurgents call
ed at the East Oregonian office yes
terday afternoon and stated their
grievances in no uncertain tones They
declared they had lived up to the let
ter of the agreement, have discarded
all superfluous hair and gone to
school with their cheeks colored only
by their healthy blood. But, they as
sert the senior girls, who were the
instigators of the anti-rat movement,
have not been true to their plighted
word but have openly and flagrantly
violated their agreement by appear
ing with their heads upholstered as
before. Therefore, these indignant
freshmen have had their poet lau-
reate promulgate the following for the
benefit of the naughty and erring Sc
niors.
To the Seniors.
Now, my gentle senior, girls, e.
We of the freshman class
Would gladly take Off our puffs and
curls
And comb our hair out from that aw-
full mass,
To change the name the high school
Which we did not help to make so
bad
And when we think of those that did
II
1t makes our hearts feel sad.
SO now. you noble, high minded, upper
classmen,
Come down from Off your perch
And set a good example,
Or we'll leave you in the lurch.

MANY CALLERS AT
 HEADQUARTERS
Visitors Think That Result in Colbert County Is Good Omen for
 Jefferson

There were many callers at the head quarters of the local option campaign committee yesterday who expressed grat- ifcation of the result of the local option fight which took place Saturday in Col bert county.
 Those familiar with the conditions in Colbert county were rather surprised at the result, as 1t was generally supposed that the dispensary plan would be adopt ed. The victory for the hgh-license sa- loon Is considered a good omen and a victory in Jefferson county at the ap- proaching election was freely predicted.
 Secretary Fred Staley stated that since the announcement of the date of filing the petition with the probate judge was made, he has received quite number of they be added to the list before being filed. Monday mornings mall brought In a large number of signatures from the suburban towns. and of these many bore the Bessemer postmark.
 Mir Moore and MT. Staley and other leaders are busy selecting the county cam paign committee. It is stated 1t will be one of the strongest committees ever presented in a local campaign. The com mittee will be announced at an early date.

PIPE LINE PLANS
 WELL UNDER WAY Surveyors Will Be Put Into Field Soon Between Here
 and Fayette

R. M. Baker, president of the Texas at the head of three of the most import ant natural gas companies in America. with the local owners of the Providence oil and Gas company, practically de- termined yesterday. after an extended conference to begin work without delay on a pipe line from Fayette to Birming- ham.
 The two visitors remained coseted with the local directors all of yester day and the general plans to follow are said to have been agreed upon. It was announced that 1t will require $2,- 5OO,0oo to build the pipe line from ayette to Birmingham and place 1t in homes and manufacturing plants about this city. Of this sum s1OOo.0O0 will be for a pipe line and connections at Fayette. while the remaining s1.5oo.0oo will be for connec- tions in Birmingham.
 President Frank Nelson, IT, of the
 
 lasr night that he wished to be conserva- tive about the proposition and he was of the opinion that surveyors would be in the field In 90 days, perhaps, locating the lines Into Birmingham. He said that Mr. Mcdowell was of the opinion that the pipe line could be completed in four months after work had started. It is not likely, however. that such haste will be made.
 The conference yesterday was fea- tured with enthusiasm and every man interested in the development was high ly satisfied with the progress made.
 MT. McDowell. who has had more ex- perience than any one Of the pary of natural gas workers, Is very optimistic over the outlook here. He returned to Pittsburg last night MT. Baker will leave for Austin, Tex. today.

M0ULTHROP HEADS
 SOUTHERN STATES
Meeting of Fire and Casual ty Company Held in Bir-
 mingham Yesterday

At meeting of the board of directors of the Southern States Fire and Casu- aIty company held yesterday afternoon. State Senator Robert Moulthrop of Eu- faula was elected president to succeed D. E. Manasco, and a general reorgani- zation of the company was effected with the purpose, as stated by the new officers, of bringing the stockholders more directly into the affairs of the company than heretofore that they may realize it's benefits. M
 In addition to the president the other officers of the company elected yester- day were; D. c. Tevis. vice president and general manager. and W. w. Haral- son, secretary and treasurer The fi- nance committee is composed of Max Schmitt, chairman; pr. G. B. Grove. Bertram Jacobs, George Blinn. Jr, pr. D. F. Lusk and Robert Moulthrop. ex- officio.
 The election of new officers and the general reorganization of the company has resulted from internal disorders in the Southern States Fire and Casualty company as was set forth in the report of Actuary Halliday to the state in- surance commission at Montgomery last January. Serious charges were made against the company upon the strength of which the insurance commission recommended reorganization while the belief in the company's possibility for development was expressed If 8 change were made in the management. MT. Moulthrop stated last night that
 ton at yesterdays meeting was dis tinctly an enunciation of the rights of the stockholders to be benefited accord ing to his interest in the company. He
 further stated that the outlook for the Southern States Fire and Casualty com pany was exceedingly good and that
 the heads of the company would do all in their power to promote their affairs and maintain substantial basis. According to a statement by W. ". Haralson, who was elected secretary
 and treasurer, the subscribed capital of the Southern States Fire and Casual

'The theory of prohibition Is pre- dicated upon the assumption that the disposition of the human is completely subjugative to and subservient of a de- sire to do that which is right" said Walter R. Shafer the well known at torney. This assumption ignores the many weaknesses of the mind and body and attempts to force upon one that which his individual nature repels and rebels at. If you tell a man, or many men, that they shail not do a given thing, they do that thing first by req son of a rebelllous spirit, secondly, be- cause of their innate desire to do 1t, and third, because a large proportion of the people are sensible enough to see that force does not obtain the de- sired results and they acquiesce In his disobedience or resistance.
 Law is the cooperative will of the people designedly carried out Based upon this indisputable assumption, 1t is apparent that a statute which Is not backed by the strong will of deter mined majority it makes no difference how far reaching nor rigid it may be, is as imperative as an unwritten or even an unsuggested provision. If the legislature passes prohibition statute one may naturally and very correctly assume, without an investigation, that the legislators in passing the statute represented and recorded the will of the majority of the people The real test. however, the one which enthusiastically registers the choice and the will of the majority, Is the one relating solely to the enforcement of the law. The actual enforcement of that law means that a governing majority of the people ap- prove it; its enforcement means just the opposite. If the prohibition laws of the state or in any given local ity are enforced, you may rest assured it's the will of that majority-the only medium of its enforcement. If the pro- hlhition laws are not in full force it is the will of the majority of the peo-

VIEWS ON LOCAL OPTION

pie of that given territory which does not sanction its enforcement, hence the desire for and the justice in the theory and the present demand for the prac- tical working of the local option stat utes. Every man feels that he ought to be given the right to express his choice of the enactment and enforce ment of the laws in his immediate community under which he is living and to which he must legally conform, If he Is to be rightly governed by the ex- pressed will of the majority of the peo- pie in that community. This is the prevailing idea at least, and I think very proper one, and. having been in- dorsed as a democratic theory and prac- tice since the judicious teachings and advocacies of Mr. Jefferson. the people are unwilling to surrender this right to subserve the exploded theories of the prohibition party whereby practically every idea of democracy is to be emascuiated.
 Local option does not mean saloons. Not any more so than it means prohi- bition. It cannot be honestly used In either sense to the exclusion of the other It only means a governmental right delegated to the people who live in given territory to express by ballot their choice of certain measures, which In the present case means dispensary, prohibition or regulated licensed sa- looms.
 "A dispensary, practically enveloping the blind tiger" with every protec- ton afforded by prohibition, Is but a mere step to prohibition; from the pres ent practical working or operation of prohibition in this county one must ir- resistibly conclude that 1t 1t but high-sounding name for the blind tiger" a given number of legally reg ulated and licensed saloons, apportioned to given number of people, under po- lice protection, means a death blow to the illegal sale or disposition of in- toxicants."
