CONSTITUTION IN THE WAY.
The insistence of the friends of the
army canteen that the abolition of
the canteen has resulted in the estab
lishment of cheap groggeries in
the vicinity of the army posts,
brings forward Mrs. Ella Boole, pres
ident of the Woman' s Christian's Tem
perance Union with a plan to get rid
of these evils. The proposition of
Mrs. Boole is that Congress shall pro
hibit the sale of liquor within five
miles' of an army post.
Prohibition of the sale of liquor
within the specified distance of the
posts would undoubtedly be a long
step toward providing a remedy The
difficulty is that Congress is power
less to enact such legislation. Sec
tion ten of the United States Consti
tution reads: "The powers not dele
gated to the United States by the Con
stitution nor prohibited by it to the
states, are reserved to the states res
pectively or to the people."
There is no provision in the Con
stitution delegating the police power
of the State to the United States, and
in the absence of such authority Con
gress has no power to regulate the
sale of liquor outside of the army
posts.
Still, if " Congress is favorably dis
posed toward, the proposition, it
might seek refuge in the reported ob
' servation of Congressman "Tim"
Campbell to President Cleveland:
"What's the Constitution between
friends?'

Manager Schram of the Grand, al
ways on the lookout, has secured the
services of Letillier, Illusionist and
Novelty Escape artist, as an extra
attraction for his patrons. Letillier
opens Monday and will be seen by his
many friends in town, in a repertoir
of majic and escape acts. As a gen
tleman and an artist, Leteiller needs
no introduction. His late work at the
Spokane Apple Show and tour of
Northwestern Canada, has brought
him columns of flattering press no
tices. His sensational and lightning es
capes from straight-jackets alone are
well worth seeing, as Letellier stands
alone in this particular line of work.
Surely Manager Schram spares no
expenses nor time in furnishing his
patrons with clean, novel and first
class attractions, and deserves the
popularity he has gained.

MAYOR IS SCORED BY CITY COUNCIL
(Continued from page 1)
The next bomb that was hurled into'
the aldermanic atmosphere was fired
by Councilman Beard who read a res
olution in criticism of Mayor Dimick,
who obtained a roll call, all present
voting in favor of it, except Council
man Pope, who explained that the
resolution was news to him and he
aked to be excused. His request was
granted by the Mayor. Councilman
Roake also said the thing was new to
him, but he favored the resolution,
because he wanted the matter to go
before the people.
There was no argument over the
stinging' paragraphs, Mayor Dimick
merely stating that "politics" were at
the bottom of it.
"The resolution was prepared in C.
D. Latourette's office," observed His
Honor, caustically.
Councilman Tooze introduced a set
of resolutions which were adopted by
unanimous vote. They fallow:
Oregon City, Or.," Feb. 10, 1912.
To the Mayor and Council of Oregon
City, Oregon:
RESOLVED, That this council
hereby request the Mayor to immed
iately dismiss from the force any and
all policemen who shall neglect official
duty by loitering during hours of as
signed duty, leaving .for the day or
night the patrol before the assigned
hour for relief from duty or who shall
drink intoxicating liquors - while on
duty; and that this council" shall -sustain
such act of the Mayor.
RESOLVED, That this Council shall
reduce the salary of any and- all police
men who shall neglect official duty
by loitering during hours of assigned
duty, leaving patrol for the; day or
night before the assigned hour for
relief from duty or who shall drink
intoxicating liquors while on duty
if the Mayor does not dismiss said
officers at once, to one dollar per
month.'
City Engineer Montgomery's bond
was fixed at $5,000 and the Recorder
was instructed to draft an. ordinance
regulating the U3e of streets while
they are being improved. It was as
serted that water pipes were damaged
by contractors' wagons on some of
the streets. v.
BIG CONTEST FOR AUTO STARTS SOON
(Continued from page 1.)
American Schools Should
All Adopt Folklore :
By Dr. JOSEPH JACOBS, President of the American
I Folklore Society J
HE chief trouble with education at present is its tentative and
formless character, culminated in the academic elective sys
tem which has undermined the virility of the American in
tellect.
Might we not begin at the very beginning and remedy this in the
kindergarten by giving to all American children n common set of folk
tales, of folk songs and folk games, and should not this nucleus be
formed by the COMMON ELEMENTS OF EUKOPEAN FOLK
LORE in these branches, which could easily be put into form by a
competent f olklorist f
- EVERY AMERICAN CHILD SHOULD KNOW THE SEVENTY-TWO
FAIRY TALES, THE THIRTY OR FORTY BALLADS, THE TWENTY
OR THIRTY GAMES WHICH ARE COMMON TO ALL OF THE CHIL
DREN OF EUROPE, FROM ONE OR OTHER OF WHOM HE TRACES
HIS ORIGIN. THUS ONE TOUCH Or FOLKLORE WOULD MAKE THE
WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD K!N. .
had been called for the purpose of
hearing the charges against Green and
Frost presented.
"As these charges were made in the
council chamber," said the Mayor, "we
will now proceed to take evidence."
"I am here to represent Officers
Green and Frost," declared Jurge Gor
don E. Hayes, "and the charges made
against them should be reduced to
writing and- sworn to on oath. Ver
bal charges are not specific. These
officers are here to defend themselves
and have paid me a fee to defend
them; '
Attorney J. E. Hedges said he rep
resented one of the councilmen, John
F. Albright
"What we have said we are ready
to prove," said Mr. Hedges. "We are
ready to go ahead and if you don't
want an investigation, you can quit."
"We welcome an investigation," was
the assurance that came from Judge
Hayes, "but we want it in writ:ng.
It is easy to stab in the back."
Councilman Tooze said he was not
willing to put his charges in writing
until it became necessary.
"These charges are not against
these men alone," said Mr. Tooze,
"but also the charges that have been
made against the others. I want
every man on the police force to have
his just dues."
Judge Hayes intimated that Tooze
and Albright were hiding behind the
other policemen.
.''It has been advertised to the
world," he said "that my clients have
been derelict in their duty, and af
fidavits in writing should be made.
We are prepared to prove these state
ments false and without foundation."
"I am not willing to write- these
charges under pressure," said Council
man Tooze, "but I will be ready at
the right time. The Mayor has not
shown any spirit to accept suggestions
from the council."
Right at this point Mr. Tooze was
interrupted by the Mayor, who ex
plained that he was willing and al
ways had been willing to receive sug
gestions from any member of the
council.
. "I requested you to hold a confer
ence with the council, and you disre
garded mv suggestion." avered Mr.
rTooze.
Councilman Beard took the view
that neither side should be represent
ed by attorneys, and Mayor Dimick
stated he would call in three business
men and three ministers to make an
invetigation of the charges against
Green and Frost in the event the coun
cil refused to proceed. The matter
finally went over and it - may or it
may not be fought out next Tuesday.
will be a duly qualified candidate.
As soon as the nomination blank is
filed at this office you will be credit
ed with a certain number of votes
which will give each candidate a good
send off. Of course only one nomin
ation blank will be received for any
one person but there is no limit to the
number that may be nominated. Right
after the 19th, due announcement will
be made of all those who have been
nominated, and then is the time for
those who will enter the grand race
to come to the office of the Enter
prise and secure receipt books and
the proper credentials Immediately
after receiving these you can begin
to get' to work. The sooner you com
mence the better start you will have
over those who are sure to enter the
race a little late. But while it is to
your best interests to start right off
on the 19th and get in and work hard
from the very first do not forgetl
that those who will be a little late
in entering the Contest will work all
the harder to catch up with the lea
ders. Bulletins showing the standing of
all those in the Contest will be pub
lished from time to time. In our
efforts to do the very best for every
one that enters the race the true num
ber of votes cast up to 'the .time of
counting will be printed. This will
show the true standing and will let
those who are" lagging behind a bit,
know just how much harder they will
have to work to again catch up with
the leaders. Every possible assist
ance will be given to all the different
contests, but we will do no more for
one than we will be glad to do for
any others who are all striving for
one end in view the winning of the
Ford.
Watch out for the first appearance
of the nomination blanks. Clip it out,
take it to some friend, have them
fill in your name and send it at once
to the Contest Managers, then next
week, with the announcement of the
names of all those who have been
nominated from all over the county,
come into the Enterprise office, get
a right kind of a start, and enter with
the determination to win. Remember
that your chances for landing tnis
splendid automobile are as. good as
the chances of any one, and it is a
case of where it is simply up to you.
