MADERO IS SUPREME.
At last something strongly resem
bling peace reigns throughout Mexi
co. With Reyes In prison and the
Zapata brigands isolated, and ap
parently incapable of doing serious
mischief any longer, President Ma
dero appears to be master of the sit
uation. Reyes is in his poweryand
for state as well as for humane rea
sons ha is disposed to treat the ex
rebel leniently. This would be the
course of wisdom. By starting his
little insurrection Reyes rendered a
service of vast importance to the new
government. That disturber'a con
fession that neither the old soldiers
of Diaz, his former comrades, nor
the people rallied to his standard is
a tribute to. the stability of the Ma
dero regime which its head can well
afford to acknowledge. Madero's
platform called for the abolition of
the death penalty. While some of the
president's followers want him . to
sanction the most rigorous punish
ment for Reyes, the general opinion
now is that ' he will ureg clemency,
possibly to the extent of exiling Reyes
to Europe.
That a feeling of relief pervades
official Washington is easy to believe.
The rebellion which overthrew Diaz
cost of the United States a large sum
in the transportation of troops and
supplies to the Rio Grange, and en-
. tailed embarrassments upon us which
can not readily be measured in terms
Women Should Do the
Proposing, Not
the IMen
By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Lecturer at Boston School or
Social Science
'J l OMEN should do the proposing to the men nowadays.
iJLl The supremacy of man in the family is untenable.
- Conditions will be bettered by an equality of the sexes,
and MARRIAGES WILL BE HAPPIER WHEN WOMEN
DO THE COURTING.
SHYNESS IS NOT ESSENTIALLY A FEMININE QUALITY,
BUT SIMPLY THE RESULT OF TEACHING. WOMAN AT THE
PRESENT TIME SEEMS TO BE GETTING A BETTER EDUCA
TION THAN MAN AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
8ELECT A HELPMATE MORE INTELLIGENTLY THAN A MAN
CAN DO.
She is taking the initiative in business and in politics, and
the time is coming when she should also take it in love. Cer
tainly a GIRL SHOULD PROPOSE TO A MAN IF HE
IS HER IDEAL. Economic independence will give them this
liberty? With the coming of suffrage they will act for them
selves not only politically, but socially.
Diffidence and shyness of girls in lovemaking is a SUB
TERFUGE a part of the present social teachings. When
women are taught or learn to act naturally their present FALSE
MODESTY WLLL FALL' away, and they will do the propos
ing, as they ought. , . .
" Among the Zuni Indians it is the boy who is so called modest,
diffident and shy. This is plain, for there he leaves his own
home when married, just as the girl does here, the WLTTE being
then the property owner. She CONTROLS THE HOUSE
AND LANDS AND DIRECTS THE BUSINESS AF
FAIRS OF THE FAMILY.
And be it known that the Zuni women are extremely mo"3est
and virtuous, and they would afford in this respect a very good
example for the American women. ,'' -

NEW YORK'S first skyscraper, tbe Equitable building, in the heart of
the financial section, believed by Its builders to be fireproof, is a heap
of ruins, the result of the fire which swept it on the morning of Jan
9. A death list of at least nine and a property loss of about $2,000,000.
exclusive of the building, which cost $18,000,000, are to be charged to the blaze
which started in a heap of rubbish in the basement. The building took its
name from the Equitable Life Assurance society, which was the owner and
principal tenant It was also occupied by a great number of law firms; some
of the offices of the Union and Southern Pacific railroads were located there,
and securities to the value of several billions of dollars were stored in its safe
i deposit vaults. So sure were the owners and tenants that the building was
fireproof that few of the latter carried any insurance; the former none at all.
The structure, completed in May. 1870, was eight stories high, and when re
modeled in 1888 occupied almost an entire city block. It was the first office
building in the business section to be equipped with passenger elevators, and
In its time was regarded as huge and one of the sights of New Yorfc In the

of dollars and cents. The mobiliza
tion of troops on our side of the Rio
Grande incited accusations in many
European quarters of a desire for ter
ritorial aggrandizement. Charges of
this sort, too, were made in Central
and South America. A feeling of dis
trust was aroused against us in most
of the Latin-American countries.
While both Diaz and Madero disclaim-

ed any suspicion of imperialistic mo
tives on our side, some of the news
papers in the City of Mexoco, in Rio
de Janeiro, in Caracus, Bogota and
other capitals on our side of the At
lantic .charged us with designs in
Mexico which we dared not avow. For
a few weeks, indeed, there was a
possibility that we might have to
cross the Rio. Grande to protect our
own citizens and those of European
countries. Happily, that necessity
did not arise.
And now the American govern
ment rejoices almost as fervently as
does that of Mexico at the tranquility
in the latter country. Reyes was pow
erful through his social connections,
but now he is eliminated as a dis
turbing factor. Nobody will take him
with any seriousness hereafter. Za
pata and the other rebels are obscure
persons, who-have only a small fol
lowing, which will necessarily dimin
ish by their failure to make any head
way anywhere. The Yaqui Indians,
who were at war with the authorities
during nearly the whole of Diaz's
reign have been pacified oy the con
cessions made to them by the new
government. They offer to furnish
soldiers to fight against Madero's
enemies but he tells, them he has no
need for their services. Many agita
tors, seeing that Diaz's overthrow was
comparatively easy, imagined that his
successor could be driven out with
little effort. The fate of Reyes, Za
pata, and the other rebels have con
vinced them that the new president
holds power under a pretty, strong
tenure. He has the people on his
side, which is an advantage that Diaz
did not have in the last few years of
hia rule. Moreover, the Mexicans have
become tired of war and revolution
ary agitation, and want to live in
peace. . .
Germony is -making provision for
two additional army corps. Thus
facts develop while the- discussion of
arbitration .treaties goes on. -
As soon as political disorganizers
think the tide is running their way
they get busy in organizing and pro
claim that it is a good thing.
It takes something like a federa
tion of the world to protect the rail
road between Pekin and the sea.
When a slice of the parliament -of
man follows it will also carry guns.

Live Wirelets
, (By Edgar Bates.)
The men of this city who are mak
ing a study of social conditions in tbe
country at large, with special atten
tion to the" condition of morals of
young boys are amazed to find the de
plorable conditions which exist among
members of the rising generation. Of
courseThey believe the things they
learn are true, and some of .them
think that such conditions exist only
in large cities where temptations
meet a young fellow at hand. To
force a truth home, how about the
young men of this city. Of course in
a small town, conditions are not the
same as in larger town3, hut what
are we, as citizens' of Oregon City
doing In the interest of the boys?
What are you as a parent doing for
your boy?" How does he spend his
time when he is away from home and
home Influences? Where can our
young men go? There are two places
that welcome the boys, the reading
room and the pool halls! The reading
room attracts some, but what young
live American boy will sit quietly and
read hour after hour? What this
town needs is a Y. M. C. A. or a
Young Men's Club. A place where a
boy can mingle with other boys in
friendly game of basketball, indoor
baseball, and run around and make
lots of noise without breaking some
rule of "Silence." Few of us realize
that the period of a boy's life from
fifteen to twenty-two is the most im
portant time of his growth, that ideas
and. ideals formed during these years
are the ideas and ideals which he will
carry through life to make the better
or worse man of him. This . ''boy
problem" is a hard question, but we
have the opportunity right here and
now, to give the boys the right kind
of -a start on life's long and often
tempestuous journey. "
The picture 'show is here to stay and
we realize its value as an educational
factor and all that, but once in a
while some manager will present a
run of sensational films, which should
not be allowed to be shown. The ben
efits of a dozen moral picture shows
.will more than be offset by one sug
gestive picture or scene and all such
films should not be allowed to run.'
The local managers as a rule are very
careful of their selections of films.
The poultry show to be held at the
Armory the- first lart of next month
is attracting considerable attention
from all parts of the county. At the
Walla Walla show held recently a
Clackamas county bird was awarded
the highest prize, and the local shotf
will present a large array of blooded
poultry. ,
The recent ruling that local fisher
men will be prohibited from fishing
with nets in the Willamette until the
fishing season begins in the Columbia
is causing some dscussion pro and
con.
The fishermen ,here believe that
this decision against them is the re
sult of the influence of a lot of Port
land rod sportsmen while the fish
warden says it is simply in line with
his policy of protecting the fish as
much and as long as possible.
The publication of the paper called
"Publicity,"- published by the Public
ity Department of the Commercial
Club merits the support of every'
business man in the county. The pa
per is splendidly executed, both in
composition and contents and should
carry the advertisement of every mer
chant. Only enough advertising to
cover, a part of the expense attached
to the printing and mailing of Pub
licity is sought, and every business
man should deem it a privilege to
be able to buy space in this splendid
advertiseing medium, whose sole pur
pose is the upbuilding of Clackamas
county and Oregon City.
'
Are there no houses for rent in
Oregon City? A man, who came here
two weeks ago says that he can't find
a suitable residence within walking
distance of Main street, at a reasona
ble rent. There are more than twenty-five
listed real estate dealers in
this city a Publicity Department of
the Commercial Club, but still this
man can't get a house.
Some new arrivals from the East as
sert that some things are cheaper
"back home" than out here. But we
have always imagined that the thing
called "love" was worth as much in
the East as in the West, hut now we
doubt it. A woman is suing a Se
attle man for $150,000 because he
wouldn't marrv her whilo a fJon Vnrfr
woman will be satisfied with a judg
ment or $5U for. the alienation of her
husband's affections. But possibly the
difference between these mims renr-
sents the true valuation of -a. man's
love before and after marriage.
MOTHER.
Young man, did you ever put
your arms around your "dear old
mother, who has loved and cared
for you, and tell her that you love
her and are grateful for the tears
she has shed and the prayers she
has offered for you? She may
think that you love her without
your assuring her that you do, but
it costs you but little effort to tell
her, and your words may bring
more joy and sunshine to her heart
thai! you ever dreamed of.
Basqu Must Be Hard to Learn. "
It is asserted by tbe Basques that
their language, which Dears a strong
resemblance to certain North Ameri
can dialects, is tbe oldest one in tbe
world, and was spoken ly Adam and
Eve in the garden of Eden. They also
boast that it is the most ditficult of all
languages to learn. Avronling to a
native legend.' the devil lived among
the Basques for seven years, and dur
lng that time learned only two word
of their tongue, "bai" and "ez." "yes
and "no." and these be. forgot wit.hr.

Doing Two Things
At Once
By OSCAR COX
I went into a pay telephone station
to send a message. The place was in
care of a young lady, who worked a
typewriter as well.
' How much for a city message?" I
asked.
"Ten cents." .
"Where's the booth?"
"Over there."
How the girl could carry on the con
versation with me and go on working
her typewriter 1 couldn't conceive. I
would not have been able to do any
thing else when talking with her. She
never stopped her clickety-click once
during the brief interview. I vowed
that before I got through with her I
would make her stop rattling the keys
if 1 had to pull ber hair. However, for
the time being I was satisfied and, go
ing into the booth, delivered my mes
sage. When I came out I asked how
much.
"City or long distance?" she asked,
till punching the typewriter.
. "City." '
"Ten cents."
"Isn't that pretty steep for a city
message?"
Perhaps she didn't hear. At any rate
she made no reply, keeping on ham
mering the keys.
"Can you change a five dollar bill?"
"No."
"A dollar?"
"No."
"Well, here's 10 cents."
She stopped just long enough to take
the 10 cents, open a drawer, then re
commenced the clicking. I said "good
morning," but she made no response.
The next day I went into the tele
phone office again.'
- "Can I send a city message?" I ask
ed. She turned her head toward a booth
without speaking or ceasing to play
the typewriter. I went into the booth,
left the door open and called up Char
ley Jones that is, I pretended to do so.
"Hello, Charley is that you?, I'm In
a telephone station. I want to ask
you something. Do you consider it
polite if a gentleman has business re
lations with a young lady for her to
ignore all except what is absolutely
essential to the transaction, or should
she be civil?"
I held the receiver to my ear, keep
ing my eyes on the glri. I was pre
tending to listen to what Charlie had
to say about it My scheme had no
more visible effect on the girl than if
she had been stone deaf.
"You say you think she deserves a
Jilting? Well, what is a fellow going
to do -if he has no authority, no way
of inflicting punishment, no hold what
ever?" I paused again for a reply that never
came. There was no apparent interest
in what I was saying on tbe part of
the girl; she didn't even write a mite,
faster or slower. L proceeded:
"Not let it bother me? How can I
help it? I'm all broken up over it."
Another interval for Charley to say
something more.
"Candy! She wouldn't have it that
is, from me. I have a mind to try
flowers."
Again I listened for further sugges
tions from Charley.
"Oh, that's all very well for talk, but
it isn't the real thing. When a fellow
can't sleep nights, can't eat and all
that, what's he going to do? However,
I'll try' the flowers; if they don't Im
prove matters I'll call you up again.
Goodby."
I hung uf the receiver, went to the
girl and asked "how much ?"
"Ten cents."
I took outi'ime, laid it on the desk
beside her and went out. There was
not a sign of interest in her face, and
I was literally clicked out onto the
sidewalk.
The next day I went back with a
bouquet of flowers, and, walking de
murely up to the girl, I handed them
to her, saying: ' '
"I've bothered you so much during
the last few days and you have been
so patient, so affable, so amiable, so
kind that I feel impelled to offer you
some reparation." ,
My assurance was too much for ber.
She leaned back in her chair while a
peal of musical laughter rang out from
her beautiful throat At the same time
she reached out for the flowers, 'press
ing thenrto her face. The victory was
won, the Ice was broken.
"Here's the 10 cents for Charlie's
message," she said, handing, out the
dime I had given her the day before.
"There's no charge for one sided mes
sages." "How do you know?"
"By the ring, or. rather, the want of
it"
"And you'll keep the flowers?"
"Certainly, and I can't sleep nights
for the obligation I'm under to you for
teaching me how I must have appear
ed to persons coming in here on busf
ness. The truth is, the interruptions
are so frequent that I have become
accustomed to going right on with my
work, merely nodding toward the booth
and taking the pay."
"I expect you'll have to keep it up
while you're trying to do two things
at once.
. After this I did a great deal of tele
phoning. I -had an instrument put into
my house and went frequently to the
pay station, professedly to send mes
sages, but really to chat with the man
ager. I took np so much of ber time
that she was Anally discharged. . But
It didn't make any difference, for I
wanted her for a wife.
The Leather. .. s' Party.
Mr. Leatherby sold children's shoes.
Business became dull, so he had Mrs.
Leatherby sent out invitations to a
birthday party for little Lewis Leath
erby, aged six. She sent the invita
tions to all the children in Lewis' class
at school.
Immediately the mothers of the in
vited children rushed downtown' and
bought new shoes for their little girls
and boys to wear to the party. It was
the liveliest week that Mr. Leatherby's
store had had in many years. Kind
ness always pays. Newark News.

Winter Salad.
Salads for winter, whether served
frith roast meat or game, are an im
portant branch of the cold weather
cuisine. Salads can be made from
most of the ordinary winter vegeta
blescauliflowers, celery, beet root to
matoes, cabbages, etc., and there are
also available corn salad and the Ger
man salad potatoes, the latter of
which are prepared in the same way
as a potato salad. '
Corn salad is often eaten without
any garnish, as it has a delicate flavor
of Its own. It is at its best however,
when prepared with beets, but only a
simple dressing should be used.
The beet is a very valuable winter
salad vegetable. It is added as a gar
nish to most salads and can itself
form the basis of a most delicious
salad.
A favorite French beet -salad is
made as follows: Cut up a boiled beet
Into thin slices and steep in vinegar,
pepper and salt for a little while.
Prepare in the same way some pota
toes, a few celery roots and, if liked,
a few truffles.
Season the whole with salt, pepper,
oil and vinegar and a little chopped
gherkin, chevril and tarragon. Before
serving the salad. should be well drain
ed and a good mayonnaise poured over
Ht.
'. Colonial Apple Pie.
Sift one and one-fourth cupfuls of
flour with one teaspoonful of baking
powder and one of salt Place in a
bowl and put into the mixture one-half
cupful of cold lard. Beat one egg
and add it together with sufficient ice
water to make a stiff dough. Chill,
divide .Into two parts and line a deep
pie pan with one part, allowing the
paste to hang over the edge of the pan
about an inch. Fill the prepared pan
with thinly sliced apples, heaping them
up. Cover with a covering of pie paste
cut "so as just to reach the edge
of the pan. Now fold the lower crust
up over the top one and press firmly
together. Prick with a fork and bake
in a moderate oven an hour. When
cool cut around the edge with a sharp
knife. Remove the upper crust, mash
the apples fine and season with but
ter, sugar and cinnamon. Replace the
top crust and sense with sweetened
cream. .
Broiled Tripe.
Unless the tripe is very tender it
should be boiled as soon as it comes
from the market The pickled Jripe is
liable to be very sour, and many peo
ple prefer to use the fresh honeycomb
tripe and add some acid condiment.
Drain the tripe and wipe dry; brush
the crinkled surface with melted but
ter and sprinkle fine cracker dust over
the top. If impossible to wipe dry, lay
it first in the cracker dust
Lay it in a greased wire broiler and
cook the plain surface until it Is warm
ed through, about four ' minutes, then
turn and cook the crumbled surface
until a delicate brown. Be careful not
to burn It, as the crumbs scorch easily.
Slip it off on a hot platter, crumb side
up, and spread with maitre d'hotel
butter. Garnish with lemon and wa
tercress. Escaloped Oysters.
Take two quarts of oysters., Wash
them and -drain off' the liquor. Roll
some crackers (not too fine), put a lay
er of oysters into a pan, cover with a
layer of crumbs, some bits of butter
and a little pepper aud salt, then a
layer of oysters, and repent until the
dish is full. Have cracker crumbs on
the top. Turn a cupful of oyster liquor
over it, add good sweet milk sufficient
to saturate it thoroughly and bake
three-quarters of an hour.
Coffee Fruit Cake. -
One cup of molasses, a cup of brown
sugar, a cup of butter, a cup of raisins,
a cup of English currants, an egg, a
cup of coffee (left over), a teaspoonful
of soda, a teaspoonful each of cloves,
cinnamon and allspice, four cups of
flour. Mix well and bake an hour In a
slow oven. This quantity makes one
large cake or enough for six meals in
a family of five. It Is improved by the
addition of two eggs. ,
Didnt Need It.
-JSave you given Mr. Staleight any
encouragement?" asked the Impatient
mother. . '
"No, mamma," replied the confident
daughter. "So far I haven't iound it
pecessary."
