PROPER SAFEGUARDS should be thrown around those laws that the people have enacted in order to give them a direct control upon the legislation of the state. Anv statute, no matter how wisely framed or carefully enacted, may be brought into abuse by some diuue inimical to it and may be placed in the sctap heap by the conduct of those who are op posed to its essential features. To cite a case in point: The other day Oregon City witnessed the sight , . . n . ..i i .I.- . tin nroliihirton ct a gang ot drunken noouiuins, opposeu irom s"s i law, returning from Portland in a high state of intoxication and making themselves generally conspicuous on the streets of the city with none other purpose than to attract attention. It is an admitted fact that the liquor they bought came from Portland but their efforts were directed to bring the prohibition in this city into disrepute and to spread the impression that, were the law to become effective, they would repeat the performance as often u i K- nnnnrhim'tv nn nf rhrst? were iriemis ot inc &mtiite. Thev were all its sworn enemies. They had planned, evidently to m into Portland and return on a late car as intoxicated as they could be and still manage to navigate, hoping, by the picture that they presented to bring the statute into disfavor among the people and to work up sentiment against the refusal of liquor licenses to the dealers should the supreme court decide the recent election illegal. A gentle dose ot medicine mat u,. easily administered by the officers of the law and stringent enforcement ot the statute against the transportation of intoxicated persons on common car riers would have a wholesome tendency to sober up such persons in a remark ably short space of time. So it goes with those matters that affect the Initiative and the Referendum There are, in this state, many of those who still oppose those law s that have made this state a model in the country on popular legislation and who would do, by fair means or foul, anything that they could to make the statutes in effective and throw them into disuse. But when organizations like the Lane County Pomona Grange come before the people with a proposition to prevent the very thing tnat tnesc enemies would accomplish, their interest in legislation should be commendeJ and attention given to the suggestions that they have to make. The grange, in letters that have been sent through the stare to various leaders in legislative activities, has taken the stand that the paid petition cir culator is a nuisance and that he frequently defeats the aim and object of the popular measures. It suggests that a fine and imprisonment measure rv passed against this brand of pests and that drastic action be taken to prevent them from circulating petitions that are not wanted by the people. Former Senator Jonathan Bourne has the same idea when he suggests the same policy to the national congress, and the grange, in this particular, endorses the program that Bourne has outlined. But, to this, the grange as other suggestions. It proposes a statute that would require the names of eight per cent of the registered voters of 50 per cent of the counties of the state before any initiative petition can be come effective and a recognized factor in the hands of the. people. It would also require that a petition asking that legislation be referred to the people should have, first, the names of five per cent of the registered voters of not less than 50 per cent of the counties of the state. It would have no measure initiated or referred that did not contain these proportions in the entire state and would have such steps taken that would result in the passage of a consti tutional amendment as well as a statute to make these suggestions effective. Experiences that this state has had since it placed the power in the hands of the people to suggest legislation and to demand its reference to the masses have shown that these provisions are wise. Not longer ago than our last election there were on the streets of Portland men and women who went about accosting every stranger and requesting his name to a petition about which the signer knew nothing and cared less. Too, the circulator of that petition could not know whether the signer was a registered voter or whether he had before signed several similar petitions to the same effect. In this way, there was probably much duplication and forgery of names and the jietitions were brought en masse to the state officials, purporting to be an expression of opinion from a large number of the voters of the state. As a matter of fact, they were expressive of nothing more than the ambition of some clique to "put one over" for its own particular benefit. Such safeguards as the grange suggests are well taken and would do a great deal toward making the popular measures more effective instrument; in the hands of the people. THERE IS SOMETHING of the hero feft in a few of us in spite of the new woman and all of her declarations to the contrary. The heroic dash of Melvin Hagen back across the Canby trestle in the face of the rushing Shasta Limited to save his girl companion who had fallen between the ties in her effort to escape is one of the examples that every little while attracts attention and proves the slight trace that yet remains. Under the stress of circumstances like those that Hagen faced on that night when he saw the train running down Miss Summerfield, one scared; stops to think of consequences and sees but the straight path that he must fol low to save a human life. The men who bravely went down to certain death on the Titanic nearly two years ago little thought of the yawning waters that were rapidly settling the vessel upon which they stood but their central thought was for the women who were helpless unless they could be safely stowed away in the remaining life boats and steered away from the ship be fore the surging waters could draw them into the vortex and take them to ward the same fate. On the night that the three crossed the Canby trestle and heard the THE ROAD OF RECORD Day by day, month by month, your check account will give you an ac curate record of all business trans actions.

The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY whistle of the train as it approached the outer end ot the nudge, nagrn pro ablv thought only of the chances that he had to wifely pilot hi I'aity cn the right of way and grt nil three to land on the other side. Hut hrn he saw one of the gills fall between the tics ami had reached the sale end ot the Ire tie with the other, the natural impulsr for him wa to at hit attempt to H' her, too, out of the way of the train. That natural impulse that carried him on the run mrovs that nestle l"t that girl was that little trace of the hero, the decreasing stiain of ihivaliy that still remains in a tew of us, at leat, and that comes lo the suil.icf only in ex tremely etitical times such as these. Possibly nt no other peiiod in his lilo lias that stiain been brought to the surl.ice tor there had hern no other tune in his life of such critical importance where his actions wrie the icsiill ot im- t t I mils., rather than the rule ot reason. It was a tune that turn a nuns "" ' ... . i i. .. . ind though but in his teens. Hagen pioed hmwll a man. I li.it mimm ncio . .1. . I... ..I. rl... . i. ini'il oltil ntitcc ism that comes to inc iront at u-iup mm ' fiom which their reason shrinks in fear, that makes them "rush in wheic an.-vls fear to tread" was in the heart ot that hoy and was Nought to ngm only when he was given a great danger to face when the true n.itute ol the man w as fullv exposed. That there are not more heroes in (lie world is due to the fact that such times as these do not otten come m men s lives and the real natiiie of tne man . t t . t i not fuly shown. On that great ship that went down in the nu.i .u.imii. there were more than lt00 men who stood on :he rail and wauhed the little life boats spatter alvout like tooth picks on the surface of the ocean an I never flinched from the posts that they had taken. Hr.nrly they kissed (heir wive and sweethearts goodNe as the women weie taken into the Nuts and the men left behind. Onlv a tew. like the cowardly vice president of the White Star line, failed in the tning times and attempted to get into those boats in w Inch the women were placed and deserted the place of a man. If rrr there was a time when the yellow stte.ik that some men have comes to the smt.ur or the real heroism that is born in others is biought to light, it is under such circumstances as this. There were no icebergs standing guaid over a sinking ship in ll.igrns case. There were no women and children to be saved from the cold waters ot i .i I-.- i. .i . . i. . i . . i. a stormy ocean. 1 here were no coveted places m roe nie po.its mar n.m io it given up to the helpless and no chance to stand on the slow Iv sinking rail and waive a goodbye at friends and relatives. Hut there came to Hagen an oppor tunity for the display of that real, native heroism that was inbotii in him on that lonelv trestle out ot Canby, with no watchers except the st.ns in the moonlit sky and the engineer in the cab ot a train that was approaching at a rate that no human power could check. Hagen met the issues fairly like a man. Rushing down that travk right the path of a train that was travelling at the speed of a flier and straight into the jaws of death, he nude a last frantic effort to save the life of a girl. 1 hat he did not succeed is certainly no fault ot his. ror her, he laid down on that trestle his own life that he might have easily saved. Driven h that heroic impulse, he went straightcr to his death than the crow flics through the still air on a summer afternoon and it may be that he fully realized his danger as he sped down the track. It was abrave thing for an older man to do. It was a complete sacrifice of one human life in the frantic effort to save another. In spite of the little unpleasant remarks that some of our suffragist friends have made, we still think that occasionally, under tning circumstances and in tight places "that try men's souls" there is still a little of the hero in us and such cases as these force on us that conviction.

Hurtling the entire Republican party has spread that spit it of proressiveness that calls out of the rear ranks those who have stood for all of thr advanced stops that the organization is now prepared to take and places in their hands the leadership of the party for the new few years. In the effort to harmonize the party, new blood is needed. The old lead ers, while they may remain the high councils, can never again have that con trolling direction that once was given to them by common consent and will not another time be called upon to pilot the ship through the stormy water of political crises. Hereafter, new Mood will dominate the councils ol the party and fresh minds, not imbued w ith that conservative spirit that has held so many leaders under control, will be the head of affairs in the nation. This fact presents a new problem. Roosevelt is still strong throughout the country but he can never regain the power that he possessed over the minds of the people when he launched his third party and broke the ranks of the Republican organization. Kven so, he was the whip by which the party was punished "for the Lord loceth whomsoever He chastrnctli." The fact that the party was bearen at the lat general election served but a straw to indicate to the leaders the real sentiment of the country and to give them an idea of the workings of the mind of the masses. The party had been in control of affairs for such a length of time that it is probable that th i i , ....... icaaers nau grow n away from a true appreciation ot the people s sentiment cm matters of national import and were not able to detect the sign of restlessnesi that had been apparent to the others several years before. Today, the Republican party is controlled by new and fresh minds. New blood will circulate through its veins, new hands will be at the helm of sta'e. In the councils of the party, fresh thoughts dominated by the spirit of progress and the realization of the real sentiment of the masses will be prevalent and the old spirit of Barnes, Penrose, Aldrich and others is dead in thr organiza tion. Borah, Hadley, Cummins, and men of that tvpc are now to be stronger in the councils than they have ever been before and the men whose fingers are on the pulse of the masses will be those whose voices will be loudest in thr direction of the party policies. In connection, the party faces a problem as to thr real leader who will have the dominate part to play in all of the matters that confront the organ ization. Hadley of Missouri has been suggested by that state. Had Roose velt seen the outcome of the fight that he began through the country and had he been willing to compromise matters and save the party, Hadley would have been the nominee of the Republicans. But Roosevelt would have none hut Roosevelt. I le thought that he alone could save the country from the grasp of the Republicans and that his voice was needed to awake the people from that slumber of security into which they had fallen. His only success was the defeat ot the organization and the turning over of the affairs of the government to the hands of the democratic powers. Hadley is one of the country's most progressive spirits and his voice has always been heard on the side of the masse, of the people. The East is, for the first time in many years, short of available material, i ne men of the day are men of the West. There is Cummins of Iow a wni has been mentioned but his advanced age and the: waning strength at home will probably prevent him from taking an active part in the leadership of the party. Borah of Idaho has been several times favorably mentioned. Though his stare has b jt a small vote in the electoral collrgc, he is in little worse con dition than many of those who have been named. He was clominent in the affairs of tiie national committee in Chicago and has been all along recognized as one of the strongest forces that the country has had. Borah is a progressive from first to last and his disagreement with some of the eld organization lead ers lead him to he somcwlv't alienated from the councils after the Chicago con vention. Others have been suggested but the main feature of the whole affair is the dominate spirit of progress that has taken a firm hold on the party and that has called out the new blood and given to fresh minds the contrcd of the national machinery and the leading voice in the councils of the organization. o OUR STATE SUPREME COURT has held that goods that are taken under a pre-arranged scheme with the officers arc not properly stolen I f r.i. mw ,.t .

This may be a pretty bit of reay-ning by the learned judges of our su preme bench but it does not make much of an appeal to the layman. N.'nrtv nine men out of every hundred would think that the court had stretchy! the ! law somewhat or that it was sticking for a technical ooint when .,!, , .!. mg was made and that the common -sense view of the matter would have hern , evolved out of the dealer's intentions when he bought the goods. Urcgon City has had just such a cae and the circuit court has followed EARNED DOCTORS may talk and contrr until the trump of (iahtiel sound thr calling homr of ihr faitlilul and it will not ihangr our iota thr svstrm of mating that h.t brrn in vogue evrr incr man wa lu( placrd n thr (lardrn of Eden und thr Makrr gave unto him Evr.

Science cannot solve the problrm. It can simply erk to trducr thr amount of unhappinrs that comes out of it. There i factor grea(rr (ban science and one that, blind in it nature ami drtrrniinrd in force, rrfusc. to be conquered by the prohibitions of medical turn. It is well that in this state we have a law that doe vmirthing toward the reduction of the marital unhappinrs. Thr statute that require a medi cal examination for men is one that will have, in time, a wholrsomr rlfrct upon the marriage that are consumated. It i well that the bride, and that the man himself, should know whether or not there i a possible sourer of domestic unhappinrs in his svstem before the final step i taken. Many of the unhappy marriage that linally find their way into the divorce court of the country are brought about by the very thing that thi statute i elrignrd to prevent. That measure is one step in advance. It i one of the few steps that science and medicine can take to alleviate the suffering that are brought about after marriage. Hut the world of science will never be able to go far enough to say that only men and women of pcrlectly fit physical condition should I allowed to marry, no matter how much more effective it may make the race or no matter how much healthier children may come of such marriagr. The conference did well in turning down such a proposition for it could never make its plans effective nor carry them through in any way thin would contribute to the betterment of racial condition. Neither can science make the happy home. The majority of the chil dren who come into the world are healthy and perfectly able to start out icady to cope with the condition they may meet. The minority of ilefcclives :s a large minority but upon that fact cannot be built the contention that science should be allowed the management of the nuptials of the race. Only those temperaments that are congenial to each other and that are conducive to marital happiness ran make proper home and science would in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred make the step that would match men and womrn physically perfect and yet temperamentally unsuited. Happy homes are more to this country than all of the scientifically per fect babies in the world for upon the home is the nation built. Cupid is a better match-maker than any scientist and in most cases would have brtter success. . ........................

FORUM OF TIIE PEOPLE ORKHON CITV. Jan. I2.-(To tin Kdltor of the Knlerprlsei It seems to me lo he right and proper for (! hoard of water commKaloiicra to auk for the resignation of W.

And above all h is a conscientious, sober, Industrlo'H man with the keen perception snd close application tn the work at hand. Whether It be building a house or filter plant, he I always on the Jin.
