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

MARKETS
STRAWBERRIES 15 CENTS.
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.
