One hears less to the same effect now- adays. President Newcomb Carlton of the Western Union told the Commission on Industrial Relations at Chicago a few days ago that tele- OUR CHILDREN WERE KILLED and one man it suffering from injuries that may cause his death at Creswell as a result of careless ness of either the Southern Pacific or the county official of Lane county in not providing proper safeguards at railway crossings. There was nothing uunsual in the way the accident occurred. In fact, the only thing unusual about the situation is that there is not such an ac cident every day. F. E. Sly, on his way to church in his automobile, picked up four children of the neighborhood just as he was leaving his home. Mr. Sly neglected to look up and down the track and his car was struck by a sjiccding Shasta limited. Three of the children were instantly killed, the fourth died 10 minutes following the accident and Mr. Sly is in a critical be a rn.iiri,i fib. I rouM (lie u a IN ttitt)r IllutUkllulia.

He said a Morse telegrapher now gets $23.00 a week while women get $18.00, and he claimed a good telegrapher-should get $5.00 a day. It was only a few years ago that a writer in the Independent interviewed a lot of telegraph operators, and found that they w ere earning only low pay. One of them said that his ambition would be satisfied when he reached $18.00 a w eek. Telegraphy calls for a certain quality of mind not possessed by every one, with accuracy, swiftness, flexibility of thought, and nervous poise. Very heavy responsibility is placed on many telegraphers, particularly those in rail road work. Everything considered, the w ages paid are not high for the serv ice required. Probably the payment is kept down by the competition of women. In due time as women enter commercial fields more thoroughly, this disparity will not exist so much. If women find themselves paid beneath their real value, they will go into enterprises on their own account, and will relieve the less skilled trades of the pressure of women applicants. But for the present. telegraphy seems to be a field where women earn better pay than they can get as stenographers and bookkeepers. ition. It will be a difficult problem to determine who is to blame. Mr. Slv should have looked up and down the track, it is granted, but there should e an automatic gate or signal bell at every crossing. Roads in the Willamette valley cross the tracks of the Southern Pacific a hundred times, and only a few are protected against such tragedies as the one which occur r-d Sunday. The situation is no better here in Clackamas county, or to nuke it even nearer home, proper safeguards arc not provided right here in Oregon City. Eleventh street, the county road crossing between here and Parkplace and the crossing at Gladstone all present the same possibilities as the crossing at Creswell, the scene of the death of four children. The accident Sunday should be a lesson to ev ery one of the eight Willam ette valley counties where such conditions as these are allowed to prevail. It is to be hoped that even the Oregon City council may be roused enough to demand adequate protection at dangerous crossings, before Oregon Cit, too, is the scene of such a wreck as occured in the Lane county town. w AGES ARE NATURALLY HIGHER IN CITIES than upon the farm, but what is the use of the greater lure of artificially rai"-d l-aip in th n'fv Pnrflnn.l hie MMi'kt a mtm'niKin .if In the readiness and adaptability of thought required in telegraphy, wo- M da). oT cight hollrs Safm has a ra;nimum of ?2.00 for eight men certainly excel men. Whether they would bear the serious responsibil ities of railroad telegraphy equally well might be questioned. But in com mercial work their alertness and speed should make them superior. Young and ambitious men capable of doing telegraph work can prob ably enter more scientific employments. Many women could better their position by entering this field. The telegraph is not likely to be superseded by the telephone. For certain definite messages it will always be the cheap est method. THE RECENT EPISODE occuring when ex-Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft met as pallbearers at a funeral has revived discussion as to the personal relations of these two fiimous men. Accounts of that particular incident vary. Some reporters have it that the hand shake was purely cool and formal, while others see enough w-armth in it to suggest a revival of their former intimacy. Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt said some severe things about each other. But the capacity of public men for overlooking the rough and tumble of pub lic debate seems marvellous to the average man. M- f I II I ... isinery-nine out or a nunnrea people are too sensitive to criticism. 1 ne moment anything is said in the local community adverse to their personality, ideas, or manners, they fiercely resent it as a malicious attack. Yet there is very little personal malice in daily life in either personal or business relations. Criticism is the saving salt of life.' Without it private life would go stale and public life would be rotten with corruption. Most public men soon learn to steel themselves against ordinary personal attack. They find out that they can learn much more and gain much more help from opponents than from friends. The friends flatter and conceal criticisms. Their opponents reveal real weaknesses. A wise man notes these revelations of the flaws of his own ideas and his own record, and corrects his course to meet them. Wherefore the fueds of public life are far from lasting. A debate may hours, and Eugene wants to establish $2.25. While wages are apparently being artificially advanced by unscrupulous politicians in cities buying votes with public funds, farm wages have been declining. The United States census department shows that wages on the farms the whole country over last years were $29.88 per month with board, as against $30.3 1 the year before. Average wages on the farms, without board and not counting harvest time, were $1.45 per day as against $1.50 per days for the year 1913, a de cline of 3 per cent. It is fair to boost wages in cities above normal when the great problem of the nation is to return people to the land to become producers. But what will the semi-socialistic city politician not undertake when he starts on his revolutionary career of buying votes with other people's money? Pacific Coast Manufacturer.

It is such weather as we are having now that makes the Willamette valley one of the most liked sections of the western coast. Without the ex treme heat of California or of eastern Oregon in the summer, or the cold and rain of the coast two or three hundred miles to the north but with a balanced, moderate climate that makes prosperous towns, good crops, contentment and prosperity, surely there is no section of the country that can compare with this. o Mr. Schucbel's new liquor ordinance is a masterpiece. Besides being one of the longest instruments of its kind on the city's records, it also has the advantage of being so complicated and well supplied with rcputition and re dundancy that it would take 17 Philadelphia lawyers to figure out its meaning. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE The Enterprise has received through the malls a communication on the RIs ley road suit, signed "Rlsley's Neigh bor." The Enterprise will not print this letter unless the identity of its author is known within the next few days. Schubel Quotes Law. Schubel, Ore., April 2$. (Editor En terprise.) Not knowing how Judge Campbell has, or will, decide the suit brought by C. W. Rlsley, I would like to call his attention to section 6315, which reads: The supervisor shall open, or caused to be opened, with any funds In his hands available for that purpose, all public roads which may have been or may hereafter be laid out and established according to law in any part of his road districts and shall keep the same in good repair, etc., etc., and to purchase and pay for any tim ber, plank, or other materials neces sary for making or repairing any pub. lie road in bis district, etc. Now we will jump to section 6426, the bone o( contention, where the lawyers, as well as the layman differ, as to its mean ing. To quote part of the section. which reads, "and if the amount there of shall be the sum of $1000 or over, I had their little slice whether apportioned out of the gen-1 how mficb. the engineer would get for eral road fund or voted by any road ! coming and flLiirlne on It. but no tion 6315, says the supervisor shall do. But it appears that a certain bunch of men in and near Oregon City don't like to see the farmers earn a dollar or two and get a few dollars out of all the money carried Into the court house In Oregon City, but are willing that the newspapers and contractors In Oregon City shall get about 60 per cent of the road funds, for farmers are not In the contracting business, but as a rule are willing to put In an honest day's labor now and then, because they will be benefitted both ways. Allow me to give you an illustration. The county roller broke a bridge 18 feet long and about 12 feet high. I called up the sawmill at 7 o'clock and at 12 o'clock the lumber was on the ground. At half past four, with the help of three men, the bridge was open for the heaviest traffic which will ever pass over it at a cost of J9.60 for lum ber, about $1 for spikes, 4 men one-half day each at 2 per day, S4; a total of IH.60. Now if the law section 6426 would mean what some of you would like it to mean, the cost would be something like this: Enterprise, J5; Courier, $5; lumber $9.60; spikes, $1; contractor figuring on a 20 per cent profit, $2.92; actual cost of bridge, $14.60, making a total of $27.52 besides a 3 weeks wait until the newspapers I don't know nrt- ho Is (.

C. W. Rlsley waa chairman of the committee appointed to expend this $10,000, which was to be contracted, but It required the third attempt of the taxpayer before they were able to get Mr. Itlsley to comply with their winner Ills actions In the matter seemed to show a desire on his part to hnndln the matter In his own pe culiar way, and allow his protege to work It out by day's work. It Is In teresting In this connection to noto that Mr. Itothe was substantially nn the payroll of the county each month during his Incumbnncy of tho office. This same contract was estlinntcd, hy the engineers to cost approximate ly $11,000; tho eontrnct wna let for $10 000. The road was to be surfaced with a wnter-bound macadam, but this wns changed at the last minute and an oil mncadnm was substituted. The contract was nbrognted and tho work done !y force account, nnd tho tax payers paid $20,500 for tho Job. It Is the common belief of tho taxpnyers of dlHtrlct No. 47. that It was through the Influence of Mr. Rlsley that tho sur face was chnnged, and that they were given the privilege of spending $10,500 more than the contract called for. In November of 1914, the taxpnyers were again called upon to donate an other $10,000. The meeting was colled on the extreme south end of the dis trict, as they evidently wished to avoid the wrath of their neighbors, hut the people turned out en masse, and resented the action hy refusing to do nate further sums for Mr, Rlsley to expend. Now, taxpayers, Isn't , Mr. Rlsley adopting the tactics of the dog In the manger? Isn't he resorting to child play? If you don't play my way you can't play at all.
