THE VICKSBURG CONFEDERATE
BILL.
The bill by Senator John S. Will
iams, of Mississippi, for the erection
by the government of a monument
at Vicksburg for the Confederates has,
at last, been killed. Williams intro
duced it in 1911, but it not only found
no favor from Northern Democrats
but was opposed by some of them
and was disliked by practically all of
them. Chairman Underwood of Ala
bama was particularly anxious that
the measure be sidetracked in the
upper chamber, where it originated.
as he wanted to avert any talk which-f
would erouse, even for a monument,
any of the sectional passions of a half
a century ago. He is an aspirant for
the nresidential nomination, and con
sequently he wants the geographical
line to be shut out of the Baltimore
Convention, if possible.
Aftei dodging a , vote on it for a
long time, some of the Democrats
joined with the Republicans in de
feating it in the committee. By re
fusing to take it from the calender
the measure is sidetracked for this
session, which means that it will not
come up at any time in this Congress.
tVilliams is a rather small and vain
personage. He prates about the wav
ing of the bloody shirt by an occas
ional Republican, when, in realty, he
aas been the only member of either
Hose to do anything of tnat
sort in recent times. except Sena
tor Heyburn of Idaho, and he has done
It only when provoked by Williams,
as in this instance. Democrats as well
The Greatest Dangers
With Which Society
Is Threatened
By the Rev.
BERNARD
VAUGHAN,
Jesuit
Priest
and Orator
PAGAN ROME fi THE MUDDIEST STAGE OF
ITS MUDDY GOLDEN AGE.
Present day society, while not yet at the cemetery, is heading rap
idly toward it. One of the causes of the decadence of the age is the
system of divorce, which, if not improved, will be RUINOUS TO
THE COUNTRY.
We are careless managers where we should be most careful. Man
and woman are in nothing alike. Each gives to the other what the
other has not. Each completes and is completed by the other. Their
union should be INDISSOLUBLE. Careless marriages bring about
cradleless nurseries.
LIKE DECADENT ROME, TOO, WE ARE FALLING INTO THRIFT
LESS LIVES. WE WANT PLEASURE, AND WE WANT IT AT ONCE.
WE LOVE PLEASURE INSTEAD OrV WORK. RECREATION WE NEED,
BUT NOT DISSIPATION. IN THE EVENING NOWADAYS MEN TALK
ABOUT THE SPORT THEY HAVE HAD, WHEN THEY SHOULD SAY
THE SPORT THEY HAVE NOT HAD. IN SUCH LIVES THERE IS
NOTHING UPBUILDING. AS A RESULT TODAY WE ARE LIVING IN
AN AGE OF 8UFFRAGETTES, BECAUSE MEN.. HAVE LOST THEIR
HOLD AND WOMEN . ARE GETTING THE UPPER HAND. -

as Republicans, and South as well as
North, want to bury war issues so that
they will stay buried but this marplot
eeks to resurrect them. There is" no
demand, so far as anybody has heard,
from the Confederates to get the gov
ernment to do them any such honor
aa Williams proposes. They are anx
ious to let the. dead past remain dead,
and to give their attention to the vit
al issues of the hour. A great many
things have taken place since 1861-65
and no good citizen of any locality
will resurrect any of the prejudices
of that day wantonly. Williams' con
stituents should warn him that he is
obsolete. .
PETITIONS OF TAFT FILED AT CAPITAL
(Continued from page 1)
who hunted up the petitions and af
fixed his 3ignatur thereto, with the
possible exception of a few. names in
the outlaying country precincts, where
petitions were sent for signatures. In
Salem, however, every name attached
was done so by a person who sought
the petitions, rather than by those
who were sought by the petition ped
dlers. Several oher completed petitions
were received today. Notably among
them were W. C. Hawley, candidate
for Reoresentative in Congress from
the First District; A. W. Lafferty, can
didate for Representative in Congress
from the Third District, and N. J.
Sinnott, candidate for Representative
in Congress from the Second District.
. One hundred and thirty-one candi
dates have filed petitions.
U'REN AND DIMICK
TO DEBATE SINGLE TAX
Grant B. Dimick and W. S. U'Ren
will debate single tax at a meeting
in Central Grange Hall, Beaver Creek
this evening. Mr. U'Ren will open
and close the debate. Mayor Dimick
is strongly opposed to single tax and
his friends say he will have no trouble
in getting the better of the argument.

CHAMPION.
Owen Moran. That affair meant many
quids lo .leeius. and be bas not recov
ered from the shock.
Driscoll wants to come over here
once more to take another whack at
Abe Attell. The two masters met sev
eral years ago in New York, and Jeems
showed Abie a whole lot of that "step
in. hit and getaway" stuff. We all
knew that Attell was one of the best
little featherweights in this land, but
when Driscoll finished we slipped the
honors to the Englishman without any
comments. - -
HE greatest dangers threatening society
today are a LAX SYSTEM OF DI

which demotes Christ from the rank of headmas

THE accompanying illustration is not of a troupe of circus performers,
much as it resembles the exhibitions sometimes given "under the
big tent." It Is a photograph of a fire drill which was part of a big
parade and demonstration in Tokyo. The bamboo ladders on which
the firemen (who belong to the regular municipal force of the Japanese cap
ital) are seen balancing themselves are of the type used in fighting the con
flagrations which are so frequent in Japanese cities, with their multitudes
of flimsy wooden buildings,' which offer little opportunity for the placing of
ladders against their walls. The ladders shown in the photograph, it will be
observed, are held upright by ropes which the firemen on the ground keep
strained taut The uniforms of the Tokyo fire fighters when they are at
work carrying hose to the tops of these Improvised water towers are not so
ornamental as the dress parade garb shown in this picture, but even their
workaday clothes are sufficiently picturesque to western eyes.
Council of Oregon City and filed
with the Recorder thereof within
ten days after the first publication
of this notice will be heard and de
termined by the said City Council
before the passage of any Ordi
nance assessing the cost of said
improvement.
The property assessed for said
improvement lies on both sides of
the part of said Fourteenth Street
proposed to be improved and the
line of lots abutting, on said part of
said Fourteenth Street furtherest
from said part, of Fourteenth Street
and said part of said Fourteenth
Street.
This notice is published in the
"Morning Enterprise" the first pub
lication being the 8th day of Feb
ruary, 1912, and the City Council
has set the 19th day of March, 1912,
at 8 o'clock, p. m. at the Council
Chamber of Oregon City as the time
and place for the passing upon said
objections.
