r ORKOON CITY KNTEMR18C, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1008. WOMEN'S EDITED BY OREGON SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. When all housewives shall have adopted modern methods In house cleaning the "funny-man" of the news papers will be deprived of Borne of hU most cherished material. No longer will he be able to excite laughter by thrilling accounts of the hardships endured by Mr. Henpeck when Mrs. Henpeck has started on her semi-annual orgy of house cleaning. In fact, the time may come when all such stories will be looked upon as pure im agination, and the housewife of the future will refuse to believe that there was ever even a foundation for such Glanders on her sex. However, that golden age is not yet, and so for the .woman who persists in upsetting the rhole fcou.se t once, making every one uncomfortablo and nearly killing themselves, we have nt One word of advice don't The careful housewife will begin her house-cleaning some weeks before It is time to call in the scrub woman to assist He first move will be to go over all her piece-bags, ribbon boxes, and what our Southern sisters call "trash" in general, Durlng tnjs sojtteg process she will come on much that Is of no use to her, and yet she la puzzled what to do with scraps of Ulfc children's wash dresses, Bmall bits of woolen material, etc. If she lives near an orphan asylum all bits of colored cottons will be much ap preciated there, aa they are used in teaching the children to sew. The woolen bits are always wel come to anyone wbo makes rugs. Clean one room at a time. If pos sible begin with the guest-room, as that method will be least likely to disturb the family. Take all pictures from the walls. Brush down the walls either with a long handled broom or with an ordinary broom over which a cotton flannel bag has been slipped. If the room has a picture ' mould, mount high steps and wipe off the top of the mouldings with a damp cloth or sponge. If the carpet has been taken up sweep the floor thoroughly first and then have it scrubbed with good soap and hot water. By "scrubbing" I mean "scrubbing" that Is, getting down on one's hands and knees and putting on good, hot soap suds with a hard brush. The rinsing may be done with a long handled mop, but thoroughness demands the hand scrub bing first If the carpet is not to be removed, use several handfuls of coarse salt, and sweep it well. After housecleaning the housewife is often confronted with a heap of old carpeting. Some may be fairly good, some much worn, some Ingrain, and some Brussels, and she is at her wits ends to know what do with. It is a surprise to many to know that this mass of unsightly material can be made into really beautiful rugs. The weavers understanding mixing them in such a manner that the most unlikely combinations come out very well. The bedsteads of a good housewife should be above suspicion; but es pecially in our big cities, and in rent ed houses, undesirable inhabitants will get in. As a measure of precaution take all wooden bedsteads apart and paint the joints with a three per cent solution of corrosive sublimate. This is odorles and absolutely effective. It is also a deadly poison, and should always be kept out of the reach of children, and applied by a responsible person. Jane Calhoun in Harper's Bazar. A communication has been receiv ed calling attention of women to the careless and in some cases unclean manner of displaying groceries, vege tables, etc., for sale. Attention has been called particularly to such ar ticles of food as pickles and olives, where they stand for an indefinite time without any covering at all, some times there is a wire netting cover, while that is better than nothing it serves to keep people from dipping their fingers into the fluid and taking an olive or pickle. A case that was j seen by a club woman a short time ago will serve to make purchasers more particular. A man went into a grocery store, where there were sev eral persons waiting to be served. He had been smoking a pipe which' he wished to clean, the pickle barrel be ing handy he knocked the pipe on the top of the barrel, part of the ashes went into the barrel the rest out side. Had the barrel been covered with a glass cover this could not have hap pened. Another article is lettuce. It is often put in boxes eight or ten inches high and set on the floor or on a small bench, where It is likely to be notic ed by the first dog that comes along. If women would go to the stores and markets themselves and refuse to buy any food that was not properly covered the merchants would very soon see that every thing offered for sale would be kept perfectly clean and sanitary. We have just had a "clean up day" in our yards let the good work continue along other lines. A very pretty custom in Japan is to plant a tree for every baby born. These birth trees are carefully tend ed until the wedding day of the child, then cut down and fashioned Into fur niture for the new home. The articles made from it are regarded by the young couple with great pride as their most sacred possessions. College and Kitchen Chemistry. A Chicago clergyman recently said, in an address to the young married women of his church: "The cook in the kitchen who can make better bread than her mistress is to that ex tent better educated, though the mis tress may greatly adorn literary soci ety. The fact that the woman in the parlor has the money wherewith to buy assistance does not change the fact that she does not stand on an COLUMN CITY WOMEN'S CLUa (equality with her cook." These are words of wisdom which it behooves all housewives to "read, mark, learn and j inwardly digest." Not all women are born cooks, any more than all women are born poets or artists, but all wo men can learn how things should bo done so that they may bo able to di rect those they hire to do them. An Ignorant housekeeper is at the abso lute mercy of any servant who in her sphere of work is the superior of her mistress. The Chicago clergyman finds his remedy in the higher educa tion of women, which when properly applied, will, ho tells us, "educate the i mistress up to the standard ot tno maid." He may be right, and college chemestry may resolve Itself Into kitchen chemistry in later life, but, for ourselves, we have greater faith In the training that comes in "mother's kitchen" and from careful observation of "mother's way." JANE CALHOUN, in Harper's Bazar. APPEALS FOR WOMEN. Mr Robert Jonirud Speakj for Suf frage ' ORIENT. Or., R- F. D. No. 1 May 2C (Editor of the Enterprise.) it mow he truly said that the progress of any country can be measured by the rights and privileges given to me women.' The emancipation of woman In any country marks the advance ment and enlightenment of the people of that place. Our own glorious coun try will have made a great step for ward In the line of progress when1 woman enjoys the right of equal suit iEge with man. In the Declaration of Independence we read that governments have bee instituted among men deriving their just power by the consent of the gov erned. This is not entirely true while the government derives its power by the consent of only a part of the gov erned. Be the laws of a country ever so good, while they are made by only a part of the governed it would Imply inferiority of the remaining part. The Injustice of denying women the right to vote is especially striking in the case of unmarried women and widows who own property. They are taxed but may not have a voice in making the laws a case of taxation without representation. Government begins in me nome. Thprfl th rhild learns the first prin ciples of government. Upon the moth er falls by far the heaviest pari oi tho riiitv in rearine and training the children, who will be the future citi zens. How Important then that she have some knowledge of, and interest in tiia Bft'aira of eovernment. The right to vote would give to many wo men the proper impetus 10 siuay auu keep abreast with what is going on in thin la the kind of mothers we want, who can instil into the minds of their children, pure prin ciples, broad ideas and a spirit of pro gress, woman 8 innuence iu me home is great, but tnere comes a ume ,hon tha rhiirlren leave home and often to come under the influence of legalized evils against which motner, wife and sister are powerless as they have not the right to vote. A foreigner may live here for only a short time and be given the right to vote, while woman, though native born and far more intelligent may not oice her inborn rights. It would be more just to give the right of suffrage to all persons, regardless of sex, who had attained a certain degree of in telligence and good character. Wo man is an individual as well as man and if considered so in other ways why should she not have the same rights as man in regard to making the laws under which she lives. It is a question of justice. Gladstone fcaid: "Justice delayed, is justice de nied." In the case of woman's suff rage it is also true that "Justice de nied, is justice delayed." It is bound to come sooner or later as sure as the world is progressing.. Woman does not want to take any rights from man, nor their office, it is only the very few, anyway, who can hold office and it should be filled by the person, regardless of sox, who is in every way best fitted for it. Wc do want to have a voice in our gov ernment to hfiln elect to office per sons of the best fitness and help to the fullest extent which can only be Hr,no when we mav vote the progress of our country. We believe In the ad vancement of man and woman, anu that in order to bring about the be.-it results man and woman should worn together on an equal plane. In the name of Justice, we appeal to the voters of Oregon for the free dom of voice in the government. MRS. ROBERT JONSRUD. DR. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON ON ' WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The question is not whether the ragman howf rlzht to vote, but it is whether we have a right to compel them all to vote at the dictation or a vpi-v small maiority of their own number. It is certain the vast major ity of our women do not wish the ballot. The laws for the protection of women are improving steadily with tho vonra and everv interest of hers is as well safe-guarded as that of any men. If you wish to protect the rights or women, asK yoursen, Ife want to vote, does my sister, does- my mother claim it to be her privilege? If they do noi, what right have I to compel them to do It by my ballot? But it is said we need the ballot of women to aid us in government Bufis it expedient? Will society be improved by the granting of the bal lot to women? 'Will the better ele ment of women come to the front as political workers and fill our offices, j or will the worse? Which is the bet ter element of women? The quiet and ! unassuming queens of our homes, our , mothers, sisters, wives am. eweet- hearts, or will politics be ci. rolled I by the clubwomen? This Is not an untried exporlmont. Four states have given the ballot to women uncondi tionally, and after 30 years ot wo men's voting, politics has not arrived at the moral standard of our own state, In Wyoming. Colorado, Idaho or Utah. Hut you say, "There nro not as many women in Wyoming." Yes, but In Utah women are so plentiful that seven or eight of them club to gether and keep one husband between them, and with this Humorous com pany thoy have not closed the saloons or closed tho brothels, or prevented gambling dons, or purified politics. Indeed, there are not four states In our Union where politics Is ro cor rupt as lu the four states where wo men vote. It Is a sad picture where a niau, for the sake of an ofllee., sella his integrity, but It Is a sadder, and a common sight, In the states where women vote, to see women sell their virtue for office. Can Give Specific Incident. I can give specific Incidents, with names, places and dates, where wo men, desiring to be assistant county clerks, etc., are sent from tho candi date's offices to tho political boss to there offer her all at the shrine of a man, who, but for politics, would not he allowed to enter her home. In every woman's suffrage state, tho pro verb has had a double emphasis that "Politics make strange companions." If you wish to prevent such condi tions lu Oregon, vote "No" on the woman suffrage amendment oi( June Jst. " Mrs. Ferdlnard-Miller. Mrs. Ferdlnard Miller died here of heart trouble Thursday evening. Mrs. Miller was 63 years of age. She was born in Germany and hns been a resident y'f Oregon City nearly all her her life. She leaves a husband, three sons, Gilo, Fred and Theodore and three daughters, Rose, Frances and Clara. The funeral was held at the Catholic Church Saturday morning at 3 o'clock. Tho body was interred In the Catholic Cemetary. OASTOIIIA. Bwntlu lla Kind w Hart klm tagtt of ROBDINS FOR REPRESENTATIVE. L. W.

Crop It Delayed Dut Heavy Yield Is Promised. During the past few weeks the rains have delayed tho Btrawberry market, and very few have been brought Into tho local markets this season. Tho first that were shipped lu brought 15 cents per box retail, and they wero much better than those that have been received from California. Tho berries that have been shipped hero from California do not find a ready sale like tho Oregon berries, as they are shipped before they have ripened. The berry crop will bo larger through out the county than It has been for years, and a few days days of sun shine will bring many hundreds of boxes of this delicious fruit to tho Oregon City markets. The berry grow ers of Canby and of Clackamas began picking some of the berries Thurs day, but most of them were shipped to the Portland markets, although some were received by tho mer chants of this city, and were easily disposed of. The apple crop throughout the coun ty will bo up to the average, while tho prune crop will bo short. The cherry yield will bo Immense this year. All kinds of garden truck are arriv ing In the markets dally. The prospect for the potato growers Is brighter now than It hns been for several weeks, and during tho past few days the price of potatoes here advanced to 10c on the sack. Many of the growers have held their product awaiting for prices to advance and many of them claim they will not even sell for the present prices. The hops are lu good condition and all vines have been trained. Many of the Clackamas County growers have plowed their hops and will put the soil to grain. WHOLESALE QUOTATIONS.
