Hie old time farmer fought pest with a good deal of diligence. Year
ago a plague of ranker worm twept over the apple growing part of the
country. Many people will recall the care with which farmer in the eo
tijn affected ud to ntear belt of sticky ubtancc around the bae of their
tree to trap the worm. Thu many orchard were saved, and after a few
rear the plague tubsided. Government agencie need all the help the
individual land owner can give in these effort.
In ectioni now afflicted with the caterpillar and certain other insect,
grange and other farmers' organizations are doing a useful work in enlist
ing the children to fight them. Many varieties of pests can be kept down
by destroying their nests. Tlie individual farmer may uy that the individual
bugs that he destroys are not the same ones that attack his crops. But if
Le sets the example of fight in the insects wherever possible, it will encourage
his neighbors to take hold and clean them out or at least hold them down.

VCH USED TO BE SAID about telegraphy as a chance for young
men to earn a good living. 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

gTaphers are underpaid. 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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

Of this same, C. W. Rlsley. a chair

ley waa the first man In Clackamas
county to violate the law he la now
standing on hi hind leg and braying
to have enforced. Th year of 191
was the first year that this law was In

The following year. 1914. the tax
payers of Oak Orova again voted 10
mlll tax, for road purpose, th money
to be expended a follow: Itegln
nlng whore the work left off th year
before, and continuing southward.
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. A rule of equity says
"He comes Into equity must come with
clean bands." Is Mr. Rlsley doing
that? We who know him, say no!

It I very "iIoulitfuT"",lf cluckamaa
county will appeal tho tavlngs ease
which resulted In a $3000 verdict
against tho county at lllllsboro Tues
day. Attorney William Mulvey, who had
charge of the county' catc and worked
hard to bring about a verdict for the
defendant, stated Wednesday that un
der Judgo Kakln's Instruction to the
Jury as to the finding of an existing
contract having been entered Into be
tween the county nnd l.evlngs, it would
ho doubtful If an appeal would be suc
cessful from tho county's standpoint.
Tho case has attracted untmunl In
terest especially In (his county. As
tavlngs' testimony during tho trial
was to tho effect Hint he had incured
along with other evidence, certain
statements which if corroborated,
would amount practically to a confes
sion. It Is expected that this evidence
will In tlino ho submitted to the grand
Jury. At any rnto It Is Iho general
feeling hero that local officials will
continue their work on the rase and
not let tho mutter drop now that tho
l.evlngs case has been decided. A
mentioned by Attorney Fitzgerald for
l.evlngs, tho evidence now belongs to
the county nnd may bo used at any
tlino.
The members of tho court, lis well
as the attorneys representing the coun
ty, expressed surprlso at the short de
liberation of tho Jury, although they
realized It was a difficult enso to win,
owing to tho ndmlsHlon of the contract
with Lovlngs. Attorney Mulvey hnd
his enso well In bund lor tho county
and Judgo Dlmlck made an eloquent,
plea for the defense, but the exlstcnco'
of tho contract with tavlngs loft tho
matter vory much a question of law,
.The Jury, however, was left to decide
as to whether l.evlngs had fully per
formed under his agreement, nnd the
Washington county men evidently felt
that ho had, from the testimony Introduced.
