Every jitney that has ojierated to Mountain View has failed. Lack of patronage, steep hills and the high cost of gasoline and repairs have token all the profits in every cas. In each case the cars have run for only a short period when the jitneur w.ta forced to give up his route and we of Oregon City were forced to rely upon one of the Inter sting signs of the times that cry i losing Us old power to frighten The ordinary citizen t day seema to care little whether any particular plan is Socialism or not.

Feminine voting in Illinois has been subjected to special study because the inotitution is new in that state, and be cr.use of the great number of women involved. The general conclusions drawn are set forth about as follows by the Minneapolis Tribune: Women nowadays will use the ballot if they have it. More than 750,000 women voted In Illinois, although they were not allowed to exercise full fran chise rights. Eighty-nine per cent of Chicago's registered women east ballots- Tbey are disposed to line up with the big putties and vote straight tickets. It Is easy to "get out" the woman vote. Tbey need little urging, and they vote early. There is no observable "sex solid arity," no tendency toward a "woman's party." The women vote Just about us the men do. In only four wards out (if 35 in Chicago did the women show any marked difference in their prefer ence for the presidential candidate from that shown by the men of their families. These facts are already familiar to the far WobL To the Middle West and the East they are novel and in structive. They are reassuring, too, to many conservatives who have hon estly feared to give women the ballot. when Columbus dlscnicrcd America remains a moot question.

For a great many years, and partic ularly since the recent national elec tion, there has been much comment upon the fact that a large portion of the male population of voting age in the southern states is disfranchised. Practically all of this discussion has been based upon the assumption that disfranchisement affects only the col ored vote. Such, It aeems, Is not the case. Mr. oseph C. Manning, now of New York City, but formerly a realdent of Ala bama, for 25 years active In public llf i in that state, and at one time a mem ber of the Alabama legislature, has written the New Tork Olobe that the IS FOR RUMOR QF RECALL COUNCILMAN ALBRIGHT SAYS HE IS READY TO PRODUCE STARTLING FACTS OREGON CITY, Ore., Jan. 5. (Ed itor of the Enterprise) I noticed the letter of my friend, F. C. Kurk. In the Morning Enterprise, In which he com plains that the members of the city council are not honorable and havo no regard for the truth. Every member of the city council is held responsible by the public for IiIh act. Whether six councilmen pledged their word of hon or to support Mr. I lurk for hlef of po lice, I do not know. I have always cast my vote for the things that I be lieved were for the beat Interest of tho taxpayers of Oregon City. I havo nev er been controlled by a corporation or any private individual. I believe that every official of the city, bo he a coun cilman or other official should be abso lutely honest. I know that in the past funds have been raised and distributed and when the proper time comes I will be ready to present the facts an to who raised the money and to whom it was paid. The Portland Kail way Light & Pow er company Is trying to beat the city out of valuable rights at the south end of Main street and are using all of their influence through their agents in Oregon City to have the defense taken away from the roan who won the case in the circuit court, and de liver it to some one who is not able to handle it. It hoa been rumored thot recall peti tions are going to be circulated against Mr. Metzner, Mr. Cox and my self. Of course It Is well known that agents of tho Portland Railway Light k Power company are back of It, and we will be ready for them when they come. I simply wish to remind the public and these dear friends who are so anxious to have u recalled of the time when the question of the open Stute hospital maintenance cut bur gented on hnslti of expected reduction in number of Inmstet nnd unexpended balance.
