OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2 1 , 1 92 1
PUBLIC TRUST IS
ABUSED AND MONEY
ISS
IQUANDERED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. "The re
velations that are coming almost
daily from the Senate Committee in
vestigating the coal situation are
startling in the extreme," declares
the Republican Publicity association
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. "Official graft, careless
inefficiency, and lack of adequate
supervision over the actions of sub
ordinates have all conspired to create
on artificial coal valuation, aside
from the direct burden put upon the
Government in the payment of exces
sive prices for its fuel. It appears
that erroneous predictions of a coal
shortage have been published by
Government departments, with the
result that industrial managers have
bid against each other in a feverish
attempt to fill their own coal dumps
before the supply wa exhausted
Doubtless the coal dealers themselv
es have taken advantage of their op
portunities and accepted profits out
of all reason.
"But the remedy for all this is not
Federal control of the coal industry.
If the laws now on the statute books
are vigorously enforced, and honest
and capable men placed in positions
of responsibility, there will be no
need of turning to other means for
relief. The gouging in coal prices to
which the people have been subject
ed is due primarily to President Wil
son himself for his obstinacy in ap
pointing and keeping in office - men
of demonstrated incapacity or unwill
ingness to exert themselves in the
public's welfare. ,
"Perhaps the most notorious of
those who have proved faithless to
their trust is Attorney General Pal
mer. An energetic administration of
the Department of Justice would have
brought sufficient indictments among
dishonest Federal officials and priv
ate coal profiteers to have struck
terror to their hearts and brought
about a speedy lowering of the price.
There are ample laws and adequate
penalties against the abuse of public
trust, and there are special laws
a-gamst profiteering. Trie "weapons
were in Mr. Palmer's hands, but his
utter impotency to make them ef
fective is common knowledge.
"Tt has been brought out at the
hearings that the War Department
paid $9.25 a ton for coal that cost on
ly ?3.25 to produce. Not only was
that a big direct loss to the taxpay
ers but the transaction further serv
ed to boost the price of other 6ales.
Secretary Baker had complete auth
ority to interfere and prevent ,such
extravagance, but he did nothing.
Other officials of the Government re
monstrated their incompetence when
they warned the country against a
fictitious coal famine and stimulated
prices accordingly.
A President with more concern
for his countrymen than for the al
leviation of troubles in Europe would
i have stepped in and peremptorily or
dered his subordinates to take the
action that would have saved the
people from excess fuel expenditures
of hundreds of millions of dollars,
but he remained in the seclusion of
the White House, listening to voices
in the air, and arranging the bound
aries of Dalmatia, Jugo-Slavia and
heaven knows what ether mushroom
republics of the Old World.
"The nation must be patient a few
weeks longer. Then there will be a
President whose thought will be for
America first. He will have as his
executive assistants men pledged to
the execution of the laws, and the
people -will get ti-.e full protection to
which they are entitled thereunder.
Once the new era of law enforce
ment has had an opportunity to prove
its effectiveness, we shall hear but
little of Government of the coal mil.
es or of any other public utility. Priv
ate initiative controlled by impartial
law will giye the people a maximum
pioduction at' a minimum cost."
PLANT MEN ASK
PROTECTIVE
LAW PASSED
The Clackamas Strawberry Grow
era association, in a meeting held at
Canby last Saturday afternoon, a res
olution favoring a bill to their inter
ests in the legislature, was adopted.
The plant growers of the Canby sec
tion want it to be unlawful to sell.
or offer for sale, either for use local
ly or export, plants that have not
been carefully inspected in the field
where grown. The Canby section, so
far, has been found to entirely free,
as 3 Clackamas county, from plant
weevil, and the growers allege that
they will keep the beds free from
pest, and not allow an embargo to be
placed on the product from this coun
ty, if it is their power to do so.
MRS. LOVELL
ASKS DIVORCE
AND $10,000
Mrs. Eda Lovell, through her at
torneys, Brownell & Seivers, filed suit
for divorce yesterday from her hus
band, Charles R. Lovell, a wealthy
and well known farmer of the Cur
rinsville section. Mrs. Lovell alleges
in her complaint that since she mar
ried Lovell at Newberg on Oct. 15,
1919, she has been treated in a cruel
and inhuman manner. She claims
that her husband has been married
twice before, and that his first wif
died and the second one was divorc
ed; that he continually held up these
two women to her as a model to im
itate, and that the treatment accord
ed to her lately compelled her
leave their home on Dec. 2, last.
Mrs. Lovell, in her complaint, asks
the court to allow her $10,000 as per
manent alimony; $1000 for her at
torney fees and $75 per month while
the case is pending.
Lovell, the husband, owns 15
acres of farm land in the Currinsville
district and other property, real and
personal amounting to many hun
dreds of dollars. His second wife
was divorced from him in the circuit
court here during the year 192. Mrs,
Lovell was awarded $750 attorney's
fee yesterday afternoon.

BLAIR LEAVES
ESTATE VALUED
AT ABOUT $22,000
The will of the late Nixon Blair,'
involving an estate of $22,000, an i
which leaves all to his widow, was
filed for probate Monday by Brownell
& Seirers, attorneys. Blair was well
known over this county and at one
time served as county commissioner.
He died in the east about two weeks
ago, where he had gone for the bene
fit of his health.
MARQUAM, Or., (To the Editor.)
Awav back in 1513, when Mr. de
Leon, Ponce by name, set out to find
the fabled "fountain of youth," it is
cause for sincere regret that he got
tangled up in the Florida Evergades
and thereby missed Marquam.
Just a casual survey of our com
niunity impels one to the belief that
here Elbert Hubbard must have got
ten -the motif for hisl oft-rjepeated
assertion that folk are 60 or 70 oi
75 or SO years "young" not old, and is
is surprising, the number of folks
here at and beyond the three-score
and ten milepost of life who are at
tending to their own affairs n(te
that- in a capable, alert manner and
are not only able to look after them
selves but also the younger genera
tion.
Surely, somewhere in her environs
Marquam, has that quality enabling
folks to grow young, not old and no
one can "burgle" it from us you'll
have to come here and enjoy it with
us. We are six miles off a branch
railroad, but we are on the main line
of longevity, and are a happy, pros
perous community, with soie plans
for the immediate future which will
demonstrate we are neither dead nor
yet sleeping.

ASKS FOR NEW NAME
Alfred Rothlisberger has petition

his name to Alfred "Lisberg." His
petition will be given a hearing Jan

Orph Parker, 21, and Miss Lanora
Beatie, 19, both of route No. 3, Ore
gon City, secured a marriage license
from the county clerk yesterday af
ternoon. The bride is the daughter
of L. R. Beatie, prominent resident
of Clackamas county, and who ran
on the Democratic ticket for county
judge at the last election.
A man, described as being attired
in ragged clothing, with slouch hat
over his eyes is frightening women
and girls in Oregon City, according
to some of the victims, who have
been startled by his actions. Sever
al instances he has met women in a
lonely place on the Mount Pleasant
road near a watering trough and al
so on the old highway road.
One of the women was walking
along' the highway near the trough
recently when she saw the man com
ing toward her in the middle of the
road. When he caught sight of the
woman he stopped and "stared." Be
coming frightened at the man's ac
tions, she turned and ran in an op
posite direction. The man followed
and by the time she had reached a
friend's house the man hal almost
overtaken her.
The same scoundrel has been seen
on Fifth street acting in a peculiar
manner.
A prominent Oregon City woman
left her place of employment about 9
o'clock a few evenings ago. and a
she arrived at her home and was
waiting for a member of the family
to open the door, she was somewhat
surprised to see a man dart past her,
and run down the stairway leading to
the street. He was described as be
ing of slender build, dressed in dark
suit and wore a cap pulled down ever
his eyes. It is believed he had at
tempted to break into the house and
was frightened away when the wo
man made her appearance.
The city officials are keeping
sharp lookout for the "peeper."
LURCHING CAR
CAUSES INJURY
TO TEACHER
Miss Anna T. Smith, of Gladstone,
teacher in the Sellwood schools, is
suffering from an injury to her eye,
received in a peculiar manner.
After reaching Golf Junction, Miss
Smith transferred to the Sellwood
car, which was crowded with passeng
ers, many of whom were "hanging"
to the straps overhead. As the car
gave a sudden plunge a man pas
senger, who was standing near Miss
Smith, was thrown against her, and
his elbow struck her eye with ter
rific force. Upon reaching the school
building the eye was badly swollen,
and Miss Smith is now trying every
remedy offered her to reduce the
swelling and discoloring, for the eye
is now badly blackened.
MRS. FRANK
SELBY SUFFERS
AN OPERATION
Mrs. Frank Selby, formerly Miss
Gladys Bullard, of this city, under
went an operation on her throat Fri
day, when it was necessary to re
move a fish bone that had penetrat-
d her tonsils.
Mrs. Selby, who is employed at the
Ohio Dentist parlors, had partaken of
her lunch at a nearby restaurant, and
the bone was from a fish sandwich
she had eaten.
Dr. A. H. Huycke performed the
operation.
A. F. Flegel, Portland attorney and
president of the Oregon Social Hy
giene society, spoke before the Live
Wires of the commercial club at their
Tuesday luncheon, upon invitation of
the special committee which has
been investigating the morals situ
ation here for the past several weeks
The speaker told of the work the so
ciety was doing and pointed out the
seriousness of the social evils now
existing.
That there is hardly a family but
has some trace of the social disease.
that 15 per cent of the insane in this
state are sent to the asylum as
direct result of these diseases, and
that at one time a third of the entire
British army was incapacitated for
action during the recent war, due to
the ravages of kindred diseases, were
some of the startling' statements
made by Flegel. , On the other hand
not an American soldier- was sent

speaker, and in this connection he

society in securing the cooperation

strictions along this line.
In introducing Mr. Flegel, R. W
Kirk, city superintendent of schools
and chairman of the vice committee
here, told of the educational work
that has been done and of the series
of meetings which will be held here
later. The public will be invited to
the lectures when they are (given.
Main Trunk Hal E. Hoss announc
ed the appointment of Ralph Shep
herd as program committee, and L
A. Henderson as Feed Wire. Upon
motion of the club a committee con
sisting of W. B. Cook was appointed
to investigate the advisability of hav
ing the city of Oregon City extend its
boundaries to include what is known
as South Oregon City. This commit
tee will report at the next meeting.
Judge Grant B. Dimick broached the
matter to the club, and , suggested
that it be gone into thoroughly be
fore either endorsing or turning down
the matter. The district which wants
to be included in the city limits are
denied the city water rights so long
as they are within the corporate
imits.
M. D. Latourette reported on the
matter of endorsing a fund for the
support of a municipal band, which
was introduced into the -ojubl n'it
week by a committee from the Hill
Improvement club. It was decided
to refer the matter to the city coun
cil, with the recommendation of the
club that the band be given support
from the public money, or, if the
budget does not provide any money
for that purpose, to have the city
back them in a campaign to raise suf
ficient funds to guarantee their main
tenance.
A new chairman for the south-end
road committee will be appointed by
the Main Trunk, following the res
ignation of W. A. Huntley, who was
recently injured and is unable to take
care of the committee work. It was
nnounced by City Recorder Charles
W. Kelly, who was a guest at the
uncheon, that the state highway
commission would meet here on tho
morning of February 15th with other
interested parties ooncerninfe the
proposed southern entrance to the
ity over the Pacific Highway, and
the club committee was invited to be
present.
As guests of the club at the meet
ing to hear Mr. Flegel's talk were
members of the school board, citj
council, police chief, and the pastors
of the various churches. Feed Wire
Henderson was delegated by the
chairman to arrange a get-to-gether
meeting with the Live Wires and the
Hill Improvement club. It is the
plan to have a joint banquet some
evening, when the plans and ambi
tions of the two organizations can
be coordinated for the public good.
