ABOUT THE HEALTH OFFICER
Rev. Spiess Makes a Few Observations
And Asks Some Questions
It is not my desire to butt into the
sparring match brought on by Dr.
Schultze, but as I am interested, in
the matter under discussion I would
like to make an observation or two
Dr. Norris was not removed from
office as the result of a political ngi-
tation. On the 23rd or 24th of July
the Courier and other papers publish
ed the removal of Dr. Norris by the
State Board of Health. The State
Board had the matter before them
for several months, and were the body
legally empowered to act in the mat
ter. In answer to the physicians paper
endorsing Dr. Norris Beveral articles
were published in which questions
were asked regarding the very matter
the good doctor expatiates on. The ar
ticle was published in your paper
March 14. As Dr. Schultzo signed that
paper perhaps it will bo just as well
to go back to the article published
March 14th and answer those ques
tions. No one else has done so nnd he
is the announced champion; "his hat
is in the ring."
As to the appointment of Dr. Van
Brakle, if the the good Dr. Schultze
will make a few inquiries he will find
that about the time Dr. Edward's ar
ticle appeared in the Enterprise, some
one who is not a minister and who
fought on the other side, suggested to
Dr. Van Braklo to make application
and also handed his name to the
judge. Now if it is the wish of the
doctors as seems expressed in Dr.
Schultze's letters to the Enterprise
to place the whole matter before the
public, and if the Enterprise wants
to givo space in its daily for the Pub
lication of it, all I ask is to be given
equal space with the other side,
do not ask for this publication but if
the other side wants it, we will not
refuse, provided that we are given
equal space in the same paper. And all
matters can be laid before the public
for their judgement. In several ar
ticles published as well as in private
letters between myself and some of
the parties interested, I expressed the
desire to place any matter between us,
private and public, before a committee
and that their findings shall be pub
lished. So far this otter has not been
accepted.
The ministers or any one of them
will run no risk in comparing private
and public life with any who attack
Jhem. I await an answer from the Ed
itor. Henry Spiess.

County Library Exhibit at Canby
Fai rAttracted Much Interest
One County Fair exhibit which call
ed forth much favorable comment, not
only tor the attractiveness of the ex
hibit itself but for the excellence of
its purpose, was that entitled "For
County Libraries." The exhibit con
sisted of numerous original posters,
suggesting diuerent phases of the
county library work, together with
two characteristic groups of books,
One of these was a general collection,
containing dooks oi interest on var
ious subjects as well as several vol
umes of fiction and childrens' books,
The other was a fine collection of ag
ricultural books. The books were loan
ed by the state library. Much interest
was manifested in the books, espec
ially in the books on agriculture.
Most of the people who passed stopped
to give more than a passing glance at
the posters. The one which attracted
most attention, or at least furnished
the most amusement, was that in
which the Canby Irrigator played a
prominent part.
Miss Trice, the librarian, with Mrs.
W. S. U'lien and Miss Myrtle Buchan
nan, were present at the booth al
most constantly, and did yeoman's
service for the cause of county librar
ies, in explaining to all who were in
terested just what the county library
uiea means, and m giving out copies
of a letter to voters in which this is
carefully set forth.
The characteristic feature of the
county library system, as distinguish
ed from the state system of traveling
libraries, and from the centralized
city library, struck everyone favor
ably. This is the placing of great num
bers of small individual libraries in
various communities, thus enabling
the people to get books without mak
ing a trip to the central library, and
at the same time to feel an interest
in a more or less permanent collec
tion of books, which grows with the
community, an interest which is lack
ing in the traveling library, which
moves on every few months. By the
county library system, books of ephe
meral mutter, such as new fiction,
moving on to some other center when
the first one is through with it.

THE ARMY.
The Americans are a shrewd,
wise people, usually gifted with
foresight, but they have not
shown It in their attitude to
ward the army and navy pol
icy. Congress continues to be
reluctant to maintain an ade
quate army. It's easy to get
money for a militia, for a militia
has votes and friends, but a reg
ular army is far different
There Is a saying that the Lord
looks alter children and drunk
en men. This certainly ought
to be extended to the United
States. Of course our separa
tion from foreign countries by
oceans is cause for not assum
ing too heavy a burden, but we
are very, very much nearer Eu
rope mid Asia ninny, many
times nearer than we were in
Washington's time. Occasion
ally we get a jar and notice our
position, but luck lias been with
us In the past, and we cannot
assume that it will always con
tinue thus.-W. II. Taft.

Modest Fitzgerald.
Edward Fitzgerald was utterly care
less of his fame. He lived to be an
old man, yet not one In a million of
his fellow countrymen regarded him as
a poet, even if they had beard his
name mentioned as an old chum of Al
fred Tennyson. Yet he translated
"The Rubalyat of Omar Khayyam"
long years before his death. He kept
It "chucking about," apparently not
thinking it worth publication, and
when be did print a few copies nobody
took any notice of it. Today It is one
of the most famous poems in the
world.
