WO nnnsual incidents marked the strike disturbances at Lawrence.
Mass.. where 30,000 operatives of the textile mills went out in bitter
winter weather. Hundreds of militia were on duty and on occasion
osed their bayonets with serious effect,. but on one of the cldest davs
the guardians of the strike breakers resorted to the device of drenching the
strikers with water from fire hose. At another time an Italian striker, bear
ing an American flag, tried to pass the lines, saying. "This flag can go any
where." The officer in charge ordered his men to salute the flag and. this
done, to charge with bayonets, and the crowd was thus dispersed. The upper
picture illustrates the flag incident, the lower the use of the hose

All the women folks have a kindly
feeling for Hon. Joseph H. Chate, who

he was asked who he would rather

"Pot Wallopers."
In certain districts of England for
merly when a n owner parted almost
entirely with other rights to n bouse
he would reserve the right of boiling
his pot on the Are. This secured to him
the right of voting und. what was of
more importance, the position of being
a freeholder. At Taunton, for exam
ple, the voters were called "pot wal
lopers" because they bad the rights to
"wallop." or boil, their Mts at the tire
in their freehold houses Sometimes
when a person parted with a long
lease, but not with the freehold of a
house, it was expressly stipulated that
he should keep the right to boil bis pot
on the tire.
Economical. '
A gentleman called at a house in the
north of Scotland recently where there
was a family of six sons in addition to
the father and mother. Noticing that
there were only two chairs in the kitch
en, presumably for the use of the par
ents, the visitor asked if the furniture
was being saved til the family 'grew
up.
"Na. na." replied the mother: "we're
jist keepin the chairs out o' slcht. sae
that the laddies wiuna wear dune their
breeks ower sune."- Ixindcui Express.

FATHER OF BOY RAIL
VICTIM ASKS $7,500
O. F. Piatt, father of Paul Piatt,
who several days ago fell from the
board walk between this city and Ca
nemah and was drowned, through At
torneys Brownell and Stone, Monday
filed suit from $7,500 damages against
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company. The complaint recites that
the franchise of the defendant for its
railway stipulates that the company
must provide a walk and maintain a
railing " the said railing to be not
less than four feet high and to be sub
stantially built and provided with
boards to fully protect the public or
any one traveling on said roadway
from falling therefrom."
"The boy, who was eight years of
age, while walking with his mother,
fell under the railing. It is charged
in the complaint that the guard-railing
was in a"defective and dangerous
condition and said defendant knew or
should have known that said guard
rail was in a dangerous and defective
condition in that the space beneath
the said rail under which said Paul
Piatt rolled to his death was too far
extended above the . surface of said
roadway."

$12,500 for a library for this city which
will he located near the property
owned bv Mrs. Thomnsnn she feels
that the interests of the public -would f Mrs- Frank Silvey
be served to better advantage by the

COUNCIL! N TO HEAR
POLICE CHARGE AGAIN
The City Council will meet this
evening to give the accusers of Police
men Green and Frost an opportunity
to present their charges t in writing.
F. J. Tooze chairman of the Council
Committee on Health and Police, who
corroborated the accusations made by
Councilman Albright, said he would
not file written charges unless writ
ten charges' were filed against Chief
of Police Shaw and Policeman Cooke.
According to Councilman Tooze, Po
licemen Green and Frost were found
to be derelict in their duties after the
committee had investigated reports
about Shaw and Cooke. Councilman
Albright would not say what he in
tended to do.
The following letter was received
by the Morning Enterprise Monday:
"If there. is any way whereby this
child's play between the Mayor and
Council can be broken up why under
heaven don't some one do iL Oregon
City is becoming the laughing stock
of the whole county. The Commercial
Club and Live Wires may as well
shut up business while the foolishness
is going on. It may look all right, and
be all right, for the villages .of Glad
stone, and Willamette to have their
family quarrels, but for the staid old
town of Oregon City, to have such a
by-play going on I think that its be
neath its dignity.
"I would suggest that some one,
that has the sand, get up a petition,
for a recall and have it circulated,
and turn the whole gang out, then
elect a set of men who can govern
themselves, then they will be fit sub
jects to run the city's affairs.- ' -"Respectfully

Be slow to believe bad reports of
any person. Hear not evj readily.
Remember he who bear? the scan
dal of another to thee will some
time take another evil words con
- cerning thee, and perhaps more
justly, for hath he not seen thee
open thy mind to evil instead of
shutting thy heart against it and
barring it with a generous thought?
