PARCELS POST MODIFICATION. . i . , , ,, I There will be a reduction January , 1 In the postage chared on parcels ! mniled In the Hilled States. The rates will still be much higher than those long established In England. Germany, and other countries of Europe, where the sending of parcels by mail, at low cost to the people, ha been an ex tensive part of the public service for many year. It ha worked no hard efclp abroad to any clasa and its rec ognlted there a a general advantage. The reduction at hand In this coun try Is let than Is supported by many who are apprenshlve of results. A full examination of details should be made before forming an opinion cf the falrnesa of the new regulations and the probable results. The new law was passed by Congress last sum mer with certain provisions showing that It I, at least In part, regarded as an experiment. Power Is conferred on the postmaster general to Invest!- gate It, with the consent of the In- j Urstate Commerce Commission, t modify weights and xone distances j that a change is needed. ! Within a 300-mile lone the new j rate will be 7 cents postage for the nrst pouoa. , . additlona pound j we.gmai.o-eu. .u - for smaller rones qu mun . For more than 1800 miles the charge will be 12 cent for the first pound. 12 cenu for each additional pound, j and J1.32 for 11 pounds. The present I charge for 11 pounds anwhere In , the United States is S1.76. and the; weight in any parcel 1 restricted to j 4 pound. The new rule will make a package of 11 pounds mailable.' Parcels postage In this country Is not to be reduced to the foreign standard by any means. A 22-pound parcel in Germany is carried ten miles for 17 j miles 37 cents. 100 mile 47 cents, 15;l , mile 59 cents, and any greater dis- j tance 72 cents. Rates in Austria art the same. In Mexico the postage on an 11-pound parcel is 60 cents. The j reduction In this country is not at all j radical. MISTAKES BY WILSON. In two Instance Mr. Wilson has ' changed hi points of view and prac-j -fiiiv pnnfpRftffi that he erred. As a , writer on abstract political philosophy ; t,. rnndemned Immigrant, from South easthern Europe, ranking them below j . , i the Chinese as material for American , adoption. As a candidate for the pres ' idency he retracted this unfavorable opinion and substituted for It a eulogy that, under the circumstances, was un pleasantly fulsome. The people of Southeastern Europe are proving thelr manhood at this time with a clearness that no one can dispute. Those ' of their number who have come to this country are making remarkable sac rifices to aid In what they hold to be a patriotic cause. A native of Bul garia, Servia, Montenegro, or Greece who returns from the United States to serve ln the armies grappling with Turkey gives up his savings to share in the struggle. Mr. Wilson regrets that he once referred to them as a ' coarse crew." Another of the palpable mistakes of Mr. Wilson was to apply, at the age of 55, for a Carnegie pension as a re tired college professor. Mr. Wilson was born in 1856, the year of the elec tion cf Buchanan, one of the three Democrats made president in the last fifty-six years. A man ought to be ln bis prime at Mr. Wilson' present age, If able to do a reasonable day's work he Bbould not consider retirement on the bounty of uny Individual The pension has been denied by the trus tee of be Carnegie fund. But mean time Mr. Wilson changed his mind about dropping active work. ha Money To Spend at Christmas The way to have money to spend at Christmas is to save it during the year. If you receite money as a Christmas gift, open a savings account with it. It will thus become an investment, growing constantly through the compounding of interest semi-annually. You should also add to your principal by making de posits regularly every payday. Only in this way can you hope to acquire a competency.

In which case we women should do something.

Mina you i am not opposed to women of the church, for 1 am a church woman myself, but I realize that many able women do not have any church connection, and I am anxious to emphasise the fact that these problems do not belong to the ch,1ITh alone, but to every woman In the town, regardless of her church, or her position In life. Who will take this matter up? M AH 1 II.A HORROR OF WAR. MAPLE INE, Or.. Dec. 10. (Edi tor of the Enterprise) To the minis ; ters of Oregon City.

Yours for Peace on Earth. JOHN 1.. STARK. MYERS DEFENDS SOCIALISM. OREGON CITY, Dec. 7. (Editor of the Enterprise.) I herewith hand ou a Socialistic platformdating back forty eight years, drawn by Karl - Mum. The words SpirKual Degrada tion are underscored by me. It fol lows: In consideration of the fact that the emancipation of the working class must be accomplished by -the working class Itself, and the struggle for this emancipation does not signify a tnig- gle for class privileges and monopol ies, but for equal rights and duties and for the abolition of class rule. 'That the economic dependence of the workingman upon the owner of the tooih of production, the source of life, forms the basis of every, kind of servitude, of social misery, of spir itual degradation and political depen dence. "That, therefore, the economic emancipation of the working class Is the great end to whlcn every political movement must be subordinated a a slmnte auxiliary. "That all exertions which up to this j time have been directed toward the attainment or this end nave railed on account of the want of solidarity be- tween the various branches of labor in every land and by reason of the ab sence of a brotherly bond of unity be tween ihe working classes of differ ent times; "That the emancipation of labor Is neither a local nor a national, but a social problem, which embrace all countries In which modern society ex ists, and whose solution depends up on the practical and theoretical co operation of the most advanced coun tries. "The first International labor con eress declare that the International workingmen's association and aU so flctie and Individuals belonging to it recoenlze truth, right and morality as the basis of their conduct toward one another and their fellowmen, without respect to color, creed or na tionality. This congress regards it as the duty of man to demand the rights of a man and citizen, not only for himself, but for every one who does his duty. No right without dut ies: no dutle without rights.' It would seem from the reading of i this that Marx Is not opposed to Christianity but seriously objects to fhrfchanlty. We. the Socialists, claim (hat the church cannot be Christian and uphold usury, rent and profit. Usury, according to Bible con- - stnictlon, means Interest, rent and profit l I A-t n refer yon to the following chapters and versos: Isiah 24:2: Neb. 28:8: Ezeklah 18:8. 8:13. and 114; Ezikiah 22:12; Exodu 22:25-27; Lev. .5:3tl-37: Ulah tin:!!-:...!. !: 2, then wind up with Jame o;li. Now 1 i.ak you church member, one and alt. please refer to your bible, rend and say to mo If when the Ho clallsta demand the abolishment or Intrvst. rent and pi""t t " meu and women shall have the full product of their labor, will Y that It Is In conillct with rellglou? Youra for trulh. W. W. MY KR3. SOME OBSERVATIONS. Now that we have the elevator let us have a good mm and one that will be permanent. Inasmuch a many Im provement of this nature mum favor certain sectlona of the city, why not enter Into an agreement to have all city improvement of whatever kin I or nature paid out of the general fund. It la bound to come to this In '.tnid, and I'm enough of a Hovlullst to be w illing to commence right now. Many treet Improvement cause tho loss of A poor man home which la confiscat ed by the city making the Improve ment. This Is not tavorlug tho mii'l who need help and the man to whom we should all lend a hclpln hand. I wish to' commend the Improvement of Singer Hill road. This ha burt been needed and t,ie work dono cer tainly speak voluntas for C. C. Han cock, street commissioner. Molalla Avenue 1 another piece of wor that ha long been neglected but It Is now a tine thoroughfare, thank to Mr. Hancock and the committee on streets. These Improvements were made at the expense of the city and 1. with many other, believe all city Improve menta should be made In like manner. Weed then avoid all this turmoil and trouble about street and sewer asaess merits and the city would not bo com pelled to take a lot of "old JmiW tl.at (ho property owners cannot afford to pay the assessments on. I am fully In accord with brothsr Milliken in reference to going to thej t'lnekunins River for our cltv water. I This Willamette water may do for prinking yards and for tiro purpose monins to organue a local feneration but It certallny la not tit for domestic , ' churches to express our commini purposes and never w as. nor It will m-v-! '"'th by our works-a constitution er be. If your nose la In good working i approved by the men of aeven church order, take a wnlk along Main Street es at (fie Sheldon dinner await only past Twelfth Street on a summer i'he consent of one more church to go evening and If you don t detect an ' '"'u operation representative to tho odor coming from tho river (hat ough to satisfy anybody that such water would sicken a dog. (o say nothing about human beings. Now, since we have given away all our natural re sources In the way of water power, w hy not buy II. K. Cross' power site on the Clackamas and go to doing business for ourselves? Mr. Cross Is a patriotic cltir.cn and w 111 meet Oregon City half way along 1 lines toward the betterment of thej community. This power site could be ' used In ninny ways: we could get j Clackamas River water for domestic I purposes: w could furnish our clti tens with necessary lights, and fur! nlsh electric power and it could be j made (o pay Interest from (he start i on the money expended. j E. C. HACKETT. APOLOGIZES TO RIVER OREUON CITY. Dec. ll.-Edltor of the Entirprlse.J-Allow me to apolo-1 glzetothe beautiful Willamette Klver through the columns of your estimable paper, for having recently spoken of it as an "eel-Infested sewer." The I superintendent of our water works, ; w ith no other ixissiblo motive than such as would arise from a sincere j heart of benovelenre. Is "Confident ( that the water Is pure." To show bis disinterestedness he Invites everyone j to be present at the cleaning of the reservoir, there to lie in wait foi j malevolent bacilli. Let everyone arm j himself with a club, and if one of the pests show its head I am sure you will have official permission to swat i his brains out. If you can see i.o ty- phoid bacilli there you may go home and rest In pence, know ing that all j Is well. Anyone of any Intelligence knows that you cannot find a filter hue en. High to remove all such organ isms. Knowing (hi, and being unable (o see (hem with the naked eye in the reservoir while it Is being cleaned, til- oulv conclusion remaining is that the Willumette waler must be pure, and sw-e( and wholesome. We should be thankful to the all-wise guardian of our water system thnt (to quo(e again) 'Oregon Clly waler is much purer than that of many other cities In the state." True, some colon bacll li have been found In the pipes on the hill, but they constitute a perfectly nutrieioiis (ll"t, and should bo taken in large quantities three times a day presumedly before meals. The fcewnge of C'unemab, and of a dozen cr so more towns and cities up (he river, is perfectly healthful especial ly when filtered. We have every reas on to be thankful (hat we ard blessed above our fellows In having such wat er. The sixty or seventy odd persons who have contracted typhoid must have done so through natural perver sity, auu cannot name wie cuy water, i The superintendent Is better acquaint-1 ed wit., lis disposition and liaMts I than anyone else, and he has given his word that it is harmless. You are advised to boll It, but not for the purpose of purifying It. Perish the thought! Can you "Paint the Illy?' You boll It because the physical exer cise Involve In the process Is one of (he lit!( preventatives of typhoid known. Why then all this talk about tjn needless task or bringing water frcm Bull Run? We are so much bet- (er off already than our neighbors, and beside it might cost something. They used to say, Mr. Editor, that If anyone did a mischief In the com munity you should blame the Irish. They deserved l( anyway. Probably (he colon bacillus has been made a srapegoat for (ne same reason. We have heard much of his presence among us. But work on Bacteriology say th it not he, but his cousin, the baeillu typhosus, or Eberth s Bacillus, j Is the cause of typhoid.
