MR. CARNEGIE'S MISTAKES.
We must admit the truth of the
contention that Mr. Carnegie is talk
ing too much. He may find it neces
sary to do so in wandering away from
some unpleasantly direct questions
put to him in the last few days in the
investigation of the steel trust. Some
times the most reticent of men, can
become the most loquacious when it
is necessary to divert attention from
a point they are trying to conceal.
But even in such emergencies a re
sourceful man will- be careful in his
choice of words and the expression
of his opinions on irrelevant subjects,
all of which are being made a matter
of record. Mr. Carnegie is less care
ful than he might he.
The other day he told of how he
once "skinned" Mr. Rockefeller. That
Sort of thine is Tint OH Tnnrti nrlTniiWI
in this country as it was until a few
years ago. Too many of us have dis
covered that we are less expert than
too many others. The game has ac
cordingly lost that popularity it had
while every man felt himself capable
of taking care of himself in an all
Tound skinning game. He is not a wise
man who now boasts himself a better
expert than Mr. Rockefeller long ago
, condemned as far too expert. Mr.
Carnegie told the committee that it
is much easier to make big money
than it is to spend it. This seems
very much like "rubbing it in." What
will they say in Wall street where

HEROPLANES VERY SOON WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE FROM
NINETY TO A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR, WHERE THEY
NOW MAKE FROM FIFTY TO SIXTY MILES. THEY WILL
BE ABLE TO MAKE LONG VOYAGES OVER SEAS, TO
ALIGHT IN THE OCEAN, START AGAIN FROM THE WATER AND
"TRIM SAIL" AFLOAT IN THE AIR.
We need aeroplanes that can stay aloft at twenty miles an hour
and under, and if we get them in a condition to do that and then can
reef in the sail spread after we get up we can send themto ONE
HUNDEED MILES AN HOUR on the present engine develop
ment. A single aeroplane capable of running at twenty and then at
one hundred miles an houi how would that be for a development?
Wouldn't it make the automobile look sick ? "
The railroad train doesn't haul the load of the steamship. Yet as
between steamships and railroads we prefer the latter where speed is
requisite. We are now facing a chance to go between fixed points at
from SEVENTY-FIVE TO ONE HJJNDRED MILES AN HOUR
OVER THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE ROUTE, and we must not
belittle the aeroplane's capacity. .
.When we can see these things ahead of us it amazes is.
'
Young China" In New York
Acclaims the New Republic
W V-'V-!. V-!j Lit I M
Photos Dy American Press Association.
NEW YORK'S Chinese population, while not originally unanimously for
the republic, seems to have pretty generally , renounced the monarchy
and its works. On New Year's day the colony's long pentup enthu
siasm burst its bonds and exploded in countless strings of firecrack
ers. Crowds paraded the narrow streets of the quarter, cheering for Sun Yat
Sen and bearing the red, white and blue banners of the newly proclaimed re
public. The children took a prominent part in the celebration, representing
"Young China" in a literal as well as a figurative sense. Those shown in the
picture above are the pupils of the Morning Star mission. The other picture
Is of the altar to Confucius in the joss house, which was specially decorated In
honor of the orcaaion.
thousands of curb brokers and ""floor
brokers have gone broke in the last
three years because they found it so
much easier to spend money than to
make it? Mr. Carnegie qualified his
opinion by using the word ''wisely,"
but in the present temper of the great
army of the skinned we do not believe
this will save him from wrath. To
the mass, it is so much easier to spend
than to make money that one raising
his head from behind a wall of money
bags and saying that it is not so with
him is taking his risks. Mr. Carnegie
should temper his wind to the shorn.
INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING.
"Are women influenced in buying
by newspaper advertising?"
The question is an interesting one
and it impressed the Nashvilfe Demo
crat to the extent that it offered a
prize for the best 200,word answer.
The views of the winner are:
"The daily newspaper goes into
the home, it fills an intimate place in
the everyday life of its readers; it
is the cheapest, most convenient, most
popular source of general and spec
ial information for the public; it is
an educator along all lines.
"It not only hrings to our doors the
news of a busy world, its advertise
ments are the text-book of progress
for every woman, be she the society
devotee or the thrifty housewife. By
1
these advertisements she is enabled
to keep pace with advancement, con
venience, economy, utility, beauty and
style.
"Every advertisement bears fruit
some more, others less; but all some.
Much depends on the advertiser, a
great deal on the advertisement, but
all on the medium by which publicity
is gained."
The circulation and popularity of
the newspaper is, of course, the de
termining factor. That explains the
desirability and value of the Morning
Enterprise as an advertising medium.
A high brow says the dark races
will conquer the world. Let's hope
this won't encourage Jack Jackson to
change his mind about retiring from
tha. prize ring.
Victor Berger says a Socialist will
occupy the White House in ten years.
A safe prophecy. Who'll remember
it a decade hence?
The weather bureau makes some
mistakes, but we must be content with
what finally arrives.
The population of Japan is increas
ing at the rate of half a million a year.
We trust this news will bring no un
easiness to Captain Hobson.
That Texas man who advertised for
a lost, stolen or strayed umbrella has
a sublime faith in human nature.
Will it be a cold day for the "hot
dog" when Dr. Wiley tackles it?
Cable rates have been reduced, but
that doesn't affect the price of eggs.
We never knew the beef trust was
so good until it was placed on trial.
There is no rest for the British
jingoes. The discovery has been made
that swords for the British colonial
soldiers are made in Germany.
To add to the woes of the beef
trust reindeer are to be raised for
consumption as food in Alaska.
Mongolia got a Kahn when the
rest of us were swearing never to
get another one.

Live Wirelets
(By Edgar Bates.)
A young chap who was born and
reared in this city moved with his
parents to Portland two weeks ago.
This lad thought Portland was all
right, but liked Oregon City better,
and was so homesick for the " "City
by the Falls" that he virtually camped
at the waiting room at First and Alder
streets for the best part of three
days, simply to see Oregon City peo
ple board the car on their way home.
Nearly every merchant in town is
advertising big reductions of prices
on their merchandise, but their re
ductions are nothing compared to the
reductions Xmas made on our pocket
books. This story of coal shortage in Nome,
seems a joke after everyone has been
telling us so much about the valuable
deposits to be found in various parts
of Alaska.
Leave it to San-Francisco. The new
est one is a "pantaloon ball.'" Every
woman present will wear soma out
landish costume of her own concep
tion, the only restriction being that
she must not wear skirts. It will be
remembered that San Francisco or
iginated the ''Bizzly Bear" and "Texas
Tommy," two dances which are much
in vogue. City after city have put the
taboo on these exhibitions but this
form of dancing seems to grow more
popular every day. - - -
.-Bully for that Washington girl who
at the last minute summoned up nerve
enough to say "No!" when asked by
the minister if she was willing "to
love honor and obey." "Tis better for
to crear.e a scene at a wedding, than
for years and years to put up with a
man she did not love.
Tonight the big Commercial Club
doings. Remembering the highly suc
cessful affair hela two months ago, we
are looking forward to a very enjoya
ble time.
The political situation is a little
quiet just now compared to two weeka
ago. Neither side has much to say
but everyone is expecting "some
thing" to happen when it comes time
for the Mayor to sign the warrants for
the January salaries ol the city of
ficials. In every town there seem to be a
small bunch of men who do all the
work when it comes to anything new
for the city or the betterment of c'vic
conditions. In our own town we have
two men who have actually done more
work, spent more of their time and
ability to further the interests of Ore
gon City than any other five man put
together. It is simjuy another case
of "working a willing nr l se to deaca,"
and it is time that other men should
step in and share tne work of these
two men. Both of them are Ll7e
Wires, one is especially interested in
the Publicity Department and the
other man is "the" man to sit in the
chair of the president of the Commer
cial Club for the new year.
...
Shipping strawberry plants to Japan
is something that a good many of us
never thought of. Buf its another
case of. Clackamas county coming to
her own. A particular feature of the
matter is that it is cheaper to mail
2,000 plants to Japan than it would
cost to mail them to Portland.
An examination of the numerous en
tries in a certain book at the office
of the County Clerk leads us to be
lieve that Clackamas county girls re
alize that this is leap year and are
getting in the game early.
The local saloon men are wonder
ing who will run the "thirst emDor-
ium'" in the new hotel. No new sa
loons can be started under the present
city cnarter, consequently a local man
will be the lucky one to get the choice
location.

DR. WILEY IS GIVEN
CLEAN HEALTH BILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley, chief of the chemistry
bureau of the Department of Agricul
ture, the storm center of the pure
food law administration controversy
last summer, is given a clean bill of
health in the report of the House com
mittee investigating the charges and
counter charges.
The committee in its report, which
will be presented to the House next
Monday, sustains Dr. Wiley all along
tne line except on unimportant techni
cal details. The Republican members
of the committee joined with the Dem
ocrats in making the report unani
mous. The report of the sub-committee
was amended in a number of par
ticulars, including its references to the
Remsen board, which investigated and
passed expert judgment on the great
er food problems.

"Of course I can," said papa, proud
and relieved to find that there was at
last something he could tell his off
spring. "Natural philosophy is the sci
ence of cause and reason. , Now, for in
stance, you see the steam coming out
of the spout of the kettle, but you don't
know why or for what reason It does
so, and"
"Oh. but I do, papa," chirped the
hope of the household. "The reason
the steam comes out of the kettle is so
that mamma may open your letters

The Wayward
Kid
By MARIAN L. GUERNSEY
"You can't most always tell about
thildren," said Farmer Fowler to Dea
con Smith. "Some on 'em turns out
well and some doesn't. It alius seemed
to me that all my children had no use
for me except what they could git out
of me. ' There's my oldest boy, John.
Seems to me that boy was born con
trary. 'I tried all sorts o' ways makin' him
obedient, but they failed that is, all
sorts o' ways except whippin' him.
That I don't believe in. I shut him up
by himself. 1 deprived him of those
little things children most wish for.
Then I tried kindness. None o' them
ways worked with Johnnie."
How about your other children.
asked the deacon, '.'when they were
little?"
"They didn't any of "em appear to
have much sense o responsibility. If
I or their mother was sick and we ex
pected 'em to give up anything they
thought o' doln' to help us out they
didn't want to do it Nothing must In
terfere with any pleasure they laid
out for themselves. My youngest boy
and my second girl was the best o' the
lot They're with us yet. Billy's a
fust rate farm hand, and his sister
Ruth is very useful, helpln' her mother
with the cookln'."
"What became of Johnnie?"
"Oh. John as he grew older he got
a lot of all fired ridiculous notions in
his head and was worse'n when he
was a kid. He got an idee that
he'd like to be a perfesser in a col
lege. Did y' ever hear o' slch non
sense? He wanted me to spend all
the money I could make on the farm
to edicate him for some useless job,
and when I wouldn't do it he got mad
and walked away, sayin I wouldn't
hear anything from him ever ag'in
onless he'd done somepin wo'th doin'.
After all I'd done for him keepin'
him in food and clothes to treat me
that away! I tell you, parents are to
be pitied."
"Then you don't think children
pay?"
"No, they don't in the long run.
When they're little tots they're kind
o cunnin' and have spasms of affec
tion in 'em. But I never could make
out whether the spasms of badness or
of affection was the principal part of
'em. Anyway, after all the pains
you've had with 'em they're sure about
the time you get 'em to be of some
use to you to go off, the gals with
some feller and the boys with some
girl, and you never get any return for
your trouble."
"Didn't it pay your father to bring
you up?"
"I dunno as it did. I've often
thought that mebbe it didn't."
The gate clicked, and a well dressed
man about thirty came up the walk.
The farmer put on his glasses.
"Somepin familiar about him." he re
marked. "Seems to me I've seen him
before."
"Hello, dad!" said the newcomer.
You don't know me. do you?"
"By gum! You beant Johnny, be
you?"
"Certainly I'm Johnny."
"Well, I want to know! Come back
to see the old man, eh, my boy? I'm
powerful glad to see you." And he
folded his arms about his son.
"Yes, I've come back. dad. When
I went away I think r must have been
a trifle cantankerous. I was determin
ed to learn a lot of things that may
seem useless to you. But I've learned
them. I'm professor of biology in
W. university." s
"Do tell! What y' learned. Johnny T
"Why, I've learned that we are born
to nature, and our parents' Job is to get
nature out of us as fast as they can.
We are all animals, only we humans
are capable of a higher development
than those below us. But in the begin
ning there's not much difference be
tween us and them. Look at a new
born kitten and 'you'll see It clawing
the air. I've seen a newborn baby do
ing the same thing. But the kitten
grows into a cat, and the baby grows
into a man or woman. While the civ
ilized child is developing it is simply
getting away from its ancestral Inher
itance. It has little sense of responsi
bility, just as the puppy will eat up all
the dinner provided for the family if
permitted to do so. I dare say, father,
you thought me brutal as a boy, and I
was brutal, but I was simply obeying
a natural, not a refined, law. But I'm
doing pretty well now and have come
back to look, after those I left behind
me."
"By gum, Johnny, how you talk!
Does biology pay?"
"Not In money, though my published
books, my salary and my lectures bring
me in a fair income. I've something
to spare for you, dad, and mum. and If
there's anything I can do for the boys
r the girls I'd be glad to know It."
"Well, Johnny boy, I'm powerful glad
to see you back. Of all my children
you was the most obstinate, but you've
got there, John, and I'm glad of it
You've topped the hull lot of us."
"And the reason he got there." re
marked the deacon, "was that very ob
Klnacy. If he'd been the obedient child
you would have liked him to be be'd
been doin' work not much better than
a horse can do."
"But that time is passing away," said
the professor. "Farming is now a sci
ence. I've come back to look into tbe
matter of taking It up on the new
basis." '
He did take it np scientifically and
made himself and his parrots rich.
. A FRIEND.
There are two elements that go .
to the composition of friendship,
each so sovereign that I detect no
superiority in either, no reason why
either should be the first named.
One is truth. A friend is a person
with whom I can be sincere. The
other element of friendship is tender
ness. When a man becomes dear
to me I have touched the goal of
fortune. Emerson.

POTATO GROWERS
ARE URGED TO SELL
There is a strong effort being made
by buyers to ship out some of the
heavy crop of Oregon potatoes that
remains at present in the hands of
Willamette valley growers.
As high as $1.25 per cental is now
said to be offering for No. 1 selected
Gresham or other eastern Multnomah
Clackamas Burbanks. Growers are
not offering this grade to any extent,
most of them being confident of still
higher prices to come at a later date.
On the other hand there seems to
be a slight weakening of the holding
of ordinary quality potatoes at Willa
mette Valley points. A3 a rule buy
ers are bidding around $1 per cental
for these, f. o. b. country shipping
points.
The onion market is firmer all along
the coast. Local growers are very
firm in their views and it is likely
that the minimum will be advanced to
$1.75 per cental at country points at
the meeting of the Confederated Onion
Growers' , Association in Port
land. As growers are not willing to
sell at the minimum formerly estab
lished at $1.50, the trade is inclined to
the opinion that much trouble would
be removed if the minimum was plac
ed at the value where stock could
really be obtained. Otherwise the
quotation would have no real mean
ing. Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:
DRIED; FRUITS (Buying) Prunes
on basis of 6 1-4 pounds for 45-50's.
Fruits, Vegetables.
HIDES (Buying) Green hides, 5c
to 6c; salters, 5 to 6c; dry hides, 12c
to 14c; sheep pelts, 25c to 75c each.
Hay, Grain, Feed.
HAY (Buying) Timothy, $12 to
