OREdOK CITY ENTEHPKISE. I'WIUAY. OOTOIlKIt 13, 1911. FORUM 0FTI1E PEOPLE To the Editor: !l la a hard matter fur an old line Republican to remain silent over tho political breeze created by I lie Insugent mogual I .a Follett and Ms half-breed followers who are much like the hunter who routed a hear In tlie timbered woods of his nntlvo at ate and after giving It a allot became so tightened at hi commotion or the sound of 'his Run he clasped his arms and legs around clone to the ground of a near-by tree. Ills companion hearing the racket, came to the rescue, Inquiring "what Is up?" "I am up this tree and will not come down until that hear Is shot," was the reply , meanwhile Imagining ihnt ho ,was safe from bear's teeth up among the branches. Likewise it Is with LaFollett. He Is hugging the trunk near the roots of the Republican tree with a delu sive phantorm of hope. Imagining that he Is up among Us branches, while his followers are standing around with blood In their eye forever. La Follett has had the presidential bee buzzing In his ear since he entered the United States senate the last time, believing that If he could only annihilate the Republican party and its high tariff that the Democracy would take him for a second Bryan and nominate him for president In 1912. But he will never know where he Ib at until he falls from his pre sumptions position. The Democracy will not support him, neither will the - Republican party unless like the prod leal son he returns to the fold. About the only way for him to get votes for the presidency will be to organize an Insurgent party, then by going through tho canvass he will be wiped out entirely li!;e the , Greeley, Gratz, Brown, Carl 6churtz party and the Populist party, ending in a complete wreck. LaFollett will find out that he Is small fry beofre he succeeds In knocking out the Republican party. The Republican party has always been a national party, knowing what was necessary to be done to perpetuate this government as founded upon the basis of civil and religious liberty, and have always gone forth with their work with a will. It passed the home stead law, the pre-emption bill, the timber bill, tree claim law, the gold standard law, giving us the best money in the world, the Panama bill, all the time being fought by the Democracy which never has enacted a law that would benefit the common wealth and Instead when in power would almost universally bring dis tress upon the country. The Repub lican party has always gone ahead with might and main to perpetuate and benefit the country, while the destructive combative functions of the Democracy were uppermost in their procedure. No party ever existed or will ever exist in this country that did or will do the beneficial work that the Republican party has done, hence It is useless for any faction of men to try to put them out, as every time an attempt Is made to roll them under they come out on top. ORIN A. CHENEY. LIVE WIRELETS tBV ICDOAR BATES.) If Calfornia'8 adoption of the lnitiaa tive the referendum and the recall re cords another follower for the path finder, Oregon. The amendments striking at the power of the bosses and reserving to the people the right to legislate for themselves are in many respects strikingly similar to the Ore gon amendments, while in others an attempt has been made to improve up on, the methods used in this state. A comparison and analysis of these changes make interesting reading for Oregon. It is clear that the Califor- nlans have appreciated some of the complications in method that have re sulted in Oregon, and have worked out a more comprehensive plan, particu larly as to the recall. One of the striking features of the California plan, as regards, the initia tive, is a dual system, whereby the cir culators of an initiative petition may submit it directly to the people or ad dress it to the legislature. If framed for submission directly to the people, the procedure does not differ mater ially from the Oregon plan. Eight per cent of the total vote is required, based on the vote for governor at the last election, instead of being upou the vote for supreme Judge aa in Ore gon. There is some advantage In this, since only one governor is elected, and the division of the vote when there are several candidates for the Su preme Court has involved complicated mathematics and possible legal strife in this state. In the case of an initiative measure submitted to the legislature in Cali fornia, however, only 5 per cent of the vote for governor is required. Within forty days after the legislature meets it must act on the measure, without changing or amending it. If the leg islature rejects, or fails to act within forty days the length of the session In that state being sixty days the measure must be placed on the ballot for the people's verdict at the next election. CURED TO 8TAY CURED. How an Oregon City Citizen Found Complete Freedom From Kidney Troubles. If you suffer from backache From urinary disorders From any disease of the kidneys, Be cured to stay cured. Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures. Oregon City people testify. Here's one case of It: Theodore Huerth, Park Place, Ore gon City, Ore., says: "I found Doan's Kidney Pills to be Just as represented and I consider them worthy of en dorsement For a long time I suffered from lameness across my back and there was a steady ache over my kid neys. The trouble was not severe enough to lay me up but it caused great distress, especially when 1 stooped or lifted. On a friend's ad vice. I was finally led to use Doan's Kidney pills, procured from the Hunt ley Br.' Drug Co. and they removed every symptom of my trouble." (Statement given January 27, 1906.) Good Work. la Apr!!, Mr. Huerth added to the above: The statement I have previously t,:ven in favor of Doan's KidDey Pill still holds good. This remedy effected a permanent cure In my case." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, tole agents for the United Much abuse and criticism have been hurled at Governor . West regarding his policy of dealing with state con vlcts. While the onward march of civilization has changed our methods of handling prisoners at state penlten tlarles, yet we cannot be In full accord with the policy of our present state executive. The state owes to lis citi zens a certain amount of protection, a protection which will Instill Into their minds the fact that their lives. the lives of their children and their property are safe from harm. When the state does something which des troys this feeling of safety, the state does wrong. When the Governor sends out hardened criminals Into certalu districts and the presence of these convicts destroys the peace of mind of the citizens of that community, then the Governor does wrong. While we admit the value of convict labor on the public highways, yet this work should be done In such a manner that will not cause people to become alarmed for the safety of themselves, their children or vthelr property In terests. While we know that we have no right to criticize Governor West unless we have some other plan to suggest that we think Is better, yet we can point to the way convicts are treated at the penitentiary In Call fornia. The officials of that institu tion have received country-wide com ment on their prison policy, their latest achievement having been the production of a four-act drama, by the convicts themselves. The production was appropriately staged, the music furnished by a convict orchestra of twenty-two pieces, the audience be ing composed of the full number of prisoners at San Quenten. How much money do you spend every day on things that you do not need? If you are a man and only smoke one cigar a day at a cost of ten cents, do you realize that this habit will smoke up over $36.00 a year or enough to buy a good suit or over coat. Or better, yet, this ten cents a day will more than pay the premiums on a 11,000 life insurance policy. No, we don't practice what we preach in this Instance, but facts are facts. The fact that a large number of married women and some of our single ones who hope to be married soon, are so anxious to take up the course of domestic science at the high school ought to give all the girls who are at present attending the high school the "hunch" that this is really the most Important thing that is in the course of study. Of course we realize that opinions differ, but speaking from a somewhat selfish standpoint it is cer tainly better to learn how to cook "before" than "after." This will save many a heartless joke about the "bis cuits that mother used to make" and "things were never like this even at the boarding house," and "who told you that this is cake." Don't pass up domestic science, girls. We predicts that before very long the state will furnish all grammar grade pupils with free text books. A large number of states have 'adopted this policy and in no instance where the plan has been tried has there been a return to the old system of the par ents of the children buying books. Of course this matter has two sides to it, but the "school book" question Is a very serious one. Already we have a provision made for the furnish ing of free books to destitute children, but fathers and mothers will go to extremes before they will admit to their neighbors o&r the proper officials that they cannot afford to buy books for their children. The books for the eighth, grade cost $6.45; for the seventh grade, $3.65; for the sixth grade, $1.50 and so on down the list. So when a man has two or three chil dren to provide for and is working for $2 a day It is really a serious matter. Washington provides books for her school children and we venture to say that it will not be long before we follow her example. , Speaking of school books, things are not the way they used to be. In the days of "readin", wrttin' 'an 'rith metic," which was not so very long ago, three or four books were all that were necessary for a grade. But now the story is different. The little ones just starting must have their water colors and two kinds of readers, those up a grade or two must have their music books, and sewing books. Then comes the call for an agriculture book and so on. The employees of the paper mill who are affected by the new bonus scheme got busy the first day that the plan was in effect and earned a bonus of 5 per cent by producing 195 ton3 of paper in a day of twenty-four hours. The meu declare that they are going to earn the 10 per cent bonus every day this week. By the way, the local mill has the second largest output of paper a day of all the mills in the country. It Is predicted that the Live Wrires will have their hands full this win ter. This matter of the locks is at the present time "at the bat," the commission plan of city government "on deck." Other tilings to be taken u? by this organization are the county support of the county fair, the dredg ing of the rapids, the public dock, and an armory. Then there are several other ihings in mind that will be sprung at the proper time. Hardly a day goes by that new ac counts are started at the local post office savings bank. The success of these banks all over the country in bringing in'o circulation money that has ben hidden away for years has proved the wisdom of the move. Stares.

SHORTAGE CAUS IS ING BIG L OSS The great shortage of ships avail able for grain shipment to Europe Is causing the loss of twusands of dol lars to farmers of this Pacific North west. Sailing vessels are being gen erally quoted at 31 3 and are very firm at that figure while at the open ing of '.he chartering Beason ships were obtained as low as 27.6. This great advance In the price of freights, due to the scarcity of ton nage, is causing weakness in the grain trade and strengfli abroad. While fur ther liberal advances have been forced In the price of wheat at Liverpool and at other European centers Pacific Northwest markets are rather dull.
