()rnn Time in an editorial which covert a pae or two Myt that The
ijitrrprisc "lam home husinos." anj "throw liah) of light around enemies
of people anj Mate."
The Enterprise would like to have the Timet indicate just where it li.it
shimmed Oswego biisincs or thtown a halo of light around the rneiniet ol
the people nl 'f 'he tate. 'Hie assertion is nude with that blarnhics anil
posit it rnrt that i-haraiterie half baled youth.
Hie Enterprise rrpcats that .-Wan Moore i taking the wrung method
to secure business for the Oregon I'ortlanJ Cement company. Instead i t
making friend, he is maling enemies Instead of working up a spirit oi
lojalty for hi company he i arousing a feeling of opposition. Instead oi
securing business, he is driving it away.
Mr. Moore wants Multnomah county to buy hi product and begin
his efforts by denouncing officials from whom he expect business. The Eng
lish language is too tame to express hi opinion regarding hi competitor.
This miue spirit has been manifest. ever since Mr. Moore went to
( Kwrgn everal year ago. The announcement of the plan of the company
were received at first with great joy on the part of the people of the town,
who had vision of growth after years ot stagnation. Within a short
tine, however, Mr. Moore, by his fighting spirit found a large part of
the town against him. I-argely through his efforts the town was divided
into two factions, and include J in his opponents were many of the mint
prominent citizens of the community. The courts were called upon to
settle one dispute arising out of this personal characteristic of Mr. Ioore,
and during the trial he engaged in a first fight w ith one of his opponents
:md later lost his cae. lie built a home near Oswego and immediately
fcund himself in difficulty regarding a line fence. Those people in the
town down the Willamette who do take his side of the disputes. The Enter
prise n'akes bold to declare, are influenced by the prospects of securing n
industry and not by personal admiration of Mr. Moore. And right here
it may be well to state that The Enteprise, unlike the Oswego Times, is
not subsidized by a paving or cement corporation.
The Enterprise, which has fought steadily for hard surface roads on
main traveled highways for three years and for the most of that time ab
lutely alone, has indicated no preference between bitulithic, concrete or
other forms of hard surface. The Enterprise believes that a dty council
or a county court is fully able to select the right kind of hard surface for
local road conditions.
This brave little fledging in his third issue rises to denounce every
Portland newspaper, the Clackamas county court, the leading Multnomah
county pood roads workers and others equally interested in the upbuilding
of the state. It makes charges it cannot prove, it imagines conditions that
do not exist, it wants to fight anything, somebody, it cares not whom. It is
a weekly messenger of the Moore spirit, contrary'i bombastic, loud-mouthed,
long winded, intolerant and lacking in good, sound, old-fashioned judgment

MENT IN HIS PLATFORM.
SHERIFF WILSON and District Attorney Hedges deserve equal
praise for the success of the raid on the Hotel Belle in Milwaukie.
While the district attorney was not present in person at the time
the officials visited the hotel, preparations for the raid were made in his
office and it is largely through his efforts that the state has so strong a case
i.gainst Fritz P. Itoysen. The Enterprise, a Republican newspaper, is fai
enough to declare that the Uemocrattc district attorney deserves as high
praise for the Hotel Belle raid as the sheriff, who is a Republican. But
not so the Courier. Under the head, "Hedges' Raid on Fritz a Success,'
that paper makes it appear that the Milwaukie trip was personally conducted
and engineered entirely by the district attorney. ' Mr. Hedges, himself,
realizing the injustice of the Courier's story to the sheriff, has willingly
signed a statement setting the facts forth.
By twisting the facts in the case, the Courier is endeavoring to rob
a man of credit that is due him. - The story printed in the Courier is not
a news story, but a political story, framed with the one purpose of taking
votes from the sheriff. There is all through the story an attempt to belittle
the sheriff. "District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges Wednesday night raided
the Hotel Belle at Milwaukie, arrested Fritz Boysen, the proprietor,
tnd confiscated over 40 quarts of assorted liquors and beer," reads the open
ing sentence of the Courier story. Rather long distance work for the dis
trict attorney when the fact in considered that while the raid was being
made by the sheriff, his deputies and Deputy District Attorney Burke.
District Attorney Hedges was in the local Elks club.
"As the district attorney started for the rear of the establishment,
Boysen rushed behind the bur, grasped a bottle of whiskey 'and started
IVcIaritiK for lew enforcement, la
bor Icftlilutlon, a reduction In taxti
and itootl roailn. Oonte C. Hrownoll
Tuesday forwarded to SHr'tary of
State Hon V. Olcolt till doclurutlou
as a candidate for Republican nomina
tion for the legislature.
In his itatement he doclnre thu.
he "will work to eut down appropria
tion! to the minimum and to abolish
useless commission! and clerk anil
dt-puty hire throughout the state; in
fact work tor a clean campaign of
economy, to save the people's money
and for the reduction of taxes." The
words which will be placed after his
name on the ballot follow: "Strength
en law enforcement; aid labor legisla
tion; reduce taxation; work for good
roads."

An Educator
Parcnu: It la quite essential that
your children accustom themselves to
modern iniBinOBs methods. There is
no better way for thorn to familiarize
themselves with the methods of tha
business world than by keeping a bank
account. Every legitimate phase of
commercialism will be touched upon
through intercourse with the bank,
and its customers aro brought face 1.0
face with various actual business
propositions which will prove invalu
able to the conducting of their own
affairs. Your children will team the
value of a dollar much quicker if it
is deposited in our bank than th.-y
will by spending each one they earn.

was known as the initiative resolution
amending the constitution of the state,
which changed our whole form and
system of state government. It was;
through his Influence, more than any
other one man In Oregon, that the old
political machine was destroyed and
put out of business. Under this new
system has come the popular election
ot United States senator at the ballot
box, the primary nomination law- and
all other legislative reforms. All
through his service In the senate he
was a strong advocate of woman suff
rage. To show the esteem that tho
people had of him, and the Influence
that he exercised, he w-as elected pres
ident of the senate in 1903. When
President Roosevelt came here In 1903
he was selected by unanimous vote of
both houses of the legislature, to de
liver the address of welcome to the
president. He is a candidate In the
Republican primaries for one of th.i
representatives from Clackamas coun
ty to the legislature which meets Jan
uary, 1917. The nominations occur in
Clackamas county on the 19th day of
May, 1916, in the primaries. In his
platform he favors good roads, lower
taxation and he pledges himself to th-2
people of this county that If elected,
he will vote and work to uIioIIkIi the
numerous commissions that are cost
ing this state about $1,000,000 each
year to maintain. He also favors and
will introduce Into the legislature end
fight for to the bitter end, a law In
favor of the people electing their own
road supervisors in the different road
districts of the county, and favoring
three county commissioners for three
districts, one commissioner to be In
the north half, and one in the south
and east half and the other In the
west half on the west side the Wil
lamette river. On account of his large
experience in the senate his services
would be invaluable to the taxpayer.
and the people generally of thin coun
ty, and for that reason, if for no other,
he ought (.0 be nominated In the pri
maries on May 19, 1916. He Is an
able man and should be nominated if
the people want good service and want
results, because It is generally eon-
ceded, by Ills enemies as well as hl.i
friends, that he knows how to do
things and howr to produce results."

estate mnn for many years, listing and
soiling farms, timber and city prop

advantage's each owner has to contend

don't believe an owner of some littlo
farm purtly cleared up should be
jumped onto for an extra assessment
if he happens to have the good luck
to get a few acres more cleared up
during the winter. Ho believes they
should have a chnnco to raise a crop
or two, begin to realize something
from It before having to pay twice
an much for It in taxes as they can
get for the crop.
Give anyone the chance and they'll
gladly pay in proportion to their In

"YOU CAN'T FOOL A HORSE-FLY."
The liquor dealers are not spending
any money to defeat candidates who
lender opinions like the one printed
here.
If I wanted to call a man a "mon
grel" I would ilngli him out. You
know we have Just recently dissolved
partnership with these men you class
as "mongrels." Up to the 1st of the
year our share In the business was
$1000 from each, annually.
You will claim the right to Inter
pret the law, as well as to enforce It
no doubt. Will you enforce It In ac
cordance with your Interpretation
printed here?
Illff!
Talk about going HOMK!
