M City, hundred of men and women for whom Sunday i their only dav
i ret and recreation. The other six days are dap of toil from davlight
until dark, but on Sunday they get their week' supply of amusement and
teat. There are Korea of young men, away from their home and relative.
ho have Sunday at their only day of rest. What would our friend, the
ministers, have thee people do on Sunday? Are they to be denied the
innocent pleasure of a vratt to a moving picture how or a baseball game ?
Perhaps the advocates of rigid Sunday closing have never called a small
-num in a boarding house their home. Perhaps they have never looked
forward six day each week to Sunda)'. the one day when they could escape
the tiresome grind and enjoy a moving picture show or some other equally
innocent amusement. Surely if these minister had. they would not work
for a strict Sunday closing law. There are score of young men in Oregon
City who meet these requirements.
The lives of all of us are being bound up with legislation. We are
told what we cannot do, for our own good and what we must do, for our
MM '!. In addition to protecting our physical welfare the state is now
taking upon itself the duty of spirtiual guide. We must not work on Sun
u'ay, for it is against the law. We must not go to moving picture shows on
Sunday, for our kind of legislature ha enacted a statute against it. We
must not buy a drink at a soda fountain on Sunday, for if we do somebody will
hr arrested. We ask, what is next, our friends? Is it a law compelling at
tendance at church ?
I"N RECENT STATEMENTS made to trie press, two United States
congressmen have brought out new figures relative to tariff, a subject
as old as polite in this country", yet so important that our prosperity
is dependent upon it. Julius Kahn, congressman of California, said recently:
"I place berore you a tew figures as ro conditions among the laboring
i lasses in free-trade England and in the I'nited States. I find in Whit
aker's Almanack for 1912, page 509. that the population of England in 1911
was a little over 32,500.000. Of course that does not include Scotland. Ire
land or Wales. The number of paupers in England in 1911 was over 833,
000. The population of Yorkshire, in which the great woolen industries of
Encland are located, was somewhat over 3,700.000 in 1911. In this one
country alone there were 78.000 paupers. This is in free-trade England.
According to the census of 1910 the population of the United States was
?bout 92,000,000. The number of paupers present in the alms-houses of
the United States on January 1, 1910. according to the statistics of the
census bureau, was 64,266. So that, while our population is nearly three
times that of England, the number of paupers in that free trade country is
considerably over 10 times as great as in the United States. In fact, the
county of Yorkshire, with its great woolen industries, with its population ot
3,700,000, has 14.000 more paupers than we have in our entire country."
United States Senator Knut Nelson, of Minnesota declared: "It is
tariff discrimination that I am opposed to . You Democrats have not treated
the northwestern farmers as you have treated the farmers in the other
sections of the country as the farmers of the south. The goods that you
use for wrapping your cotton bale with are put on the free list, bur the
wheat sacks that the northern farmer has to use to put his oats and wheat in
or his flax in you have put a duty on. But cotton bagging is sacred in this
bill. It is a small matter, to be sure, but it shows a discrimination between
the cotton and the wheat farmer. I am sorry to say that the Democratic
party have seen fit to frame a bill that in its outlines and in its scheme and
effect will be the gretaest discrimination that has ever been made against
the northwestern part of the country, against the farmers of the north and
northwest. If at any time our northwestern farmers needed protection it is
in these days when the cost of labor is higher and scarcer than ever and when
we have such intense competition from the great Canadian northwest.'"

(MI THING NEW UNDER THE SI N-at least ne in all th
cuod road argument ever advancrd in Clackamas count ha brrn
found. A w ritrr in the Salem Statesman dec lares that w Kile "tudy
ing condition near Woodburn I wat ttruck b) the number ot mail order
catalogue in the homes of the people, ami I wondered if impassable high
wav had anything to do with the popularity of ordering bv mail." He
continue: "Buines men complain of the catalogue abuse ami ot the loss
of laree sum sent out of the country, but they seem to forget that the
isolated fanner can get good goods from Chicago with let labor than he
can haul from Woodburn in mud tix inche thick."
His logic i sound and undoubtedly true. The Enterprise knows of
some roads that are not near Woodburn that are six inche thick in mud
ery winter. And it is mighty easy to believe that farmer living along these
roads find it easier to address a letter to a Portland, Seattle or Chicago firm
ban it would be to drive through the mud to town.
This same writer in the Salem Statesman finds that the farmer of
Vuodburn district are anxious to get permanent roads. He says: "Dur
ing the winter months the highways are cut up badly, and it i nearly im
possible to move loads about the countrv. While considerable work ha
brrn done on the Pacific highway, complaint is heard that roads leading
to Woodburn are bad and demand is made that they mutt be improved
soon.
The conditions around Woodburn are the same as around practically

makes it hard for the farmers to trade, while the farmers now know that
muddy highways make it harder for him to take his crops to market. When
the conviction is stronger and rhe taxpayer on the farm and the tavpaver tn
rhe city unite in an aggressive campaign for permanent ronk the prosperity
and development justly due western Oregon will arrive. .

W?R( jM ALL ACCOL N 1 1, both in the press anil m tne stories rout nv
JkV those who have come back from San Francisco, Orrgon City is much
benefitted bv the advertising at the Panama-l'acitic expositon. The novel
design of the Oregon building, the unusual number ot awards secured by the
displays from this state and the genuine merit of the products on displav have
attracted wide attention.
O. E. Frcvtag, who is director of agricultural exhibits, has finished
i.iacinc the exhibits sent down from the state fair. Some of the grains, grasses
and fruits that won blue ribbons at home are now to be found in the Agricul
tural palace, and the other material, while not blue ribbon material is very
creditable. The Land Products show at Portland got the bulk of the first
class exhibits at Salem, and that show is now being advertised quite effective
ly. Large banners on the big trees at both entrance to the Oregon building,
and at the booths in the palaces, now invite the public to stop at the big show
in Portland.
Getting back to Frcytag's new display there are to be found twelve
boxes of Italian and Silver evaporated prunes, the best boxes of which weigh
twenty prunes to the pound. They are beauties, and came from F. A. Kurt,
of Salem. Stock beets are all that one man wants to lift, while squashes are
too big for any man to carry. Fresh apples are fair to look upon, and the new
clover and alfalfa adds color and freshness to an exhibit that woo the grand
prize several months ago. The c.xhxibit as a whole is in good shape arid
attractive to the many eastern farmers now at the fair.
November 1st marked the beginning of Agricultural week at the expo
sition, and there will be special activity at the Agricultural palace. Oregon s
participation in the special events is the giving away of about 2000 small
sacks of grains, these being given to the one getting the lucky tickets as they
come through the gates into the grounds. This grain would have to In
shipped back at the end of the exposition, so this is an excellent way to get rid
of it and at the same time serve a good cause. Each sick given away will
contain information about Oregon.

.-irts that be realizes the men in the state instiution arc human, but he also
knows that it is not best for the state to turn them loose in numbers.
The last ten months have shown other great differences between (jov-
crnor Withycombc and his predecessor. There is less publicity, but more
actual accomplishment; less disturbance and more harmony than has been
in the state government for years. Governor Withycombc does not care
fully figure out the method by which he can get the most publicity out of
his office.
The secretary to the governor made a trip to eastern Oregon recently,
on his way east. It was the first trip made by a governor's secretary to the
Haker country since Miss Fern Hobbs went through on her way to Copper-
field, carrying a message of demand from the state's chief executive to the
mayor of the little town, while soldiers followed in her wake.
How different the trip made by George Palmer hitman Governor
Withycombe's right-hand man. His quiet journey is not advertised across
the continent, there were no reporters and moving picture men to welcome
him at every town across the eastern part of the state. And Mr. I'utman,
as well as Miss Hobbs, is interested in the moral betterment of the state.
He transacted business in eastern Oregon for the governor and went on to
the east. He will investigate the reform methods in prison management
at Stillwater, Minn., and at Sing Sing and make a report to his chief.
