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. - vvisaom. Wisdom is cherished by the few, neg- lected by the many and hired by the - - powerfulLife. - - 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. DRISCOLL AFTER ATTELL English Featherweight Plans Another Trip to This Country. Jem Drisooll. . one of the greatest feal lierwit'lits ever produced in Eng land. Is ;ehuiislj considering paying us another visit. Since .leerns lft us over it year ago be bas been up against it in bis country. The worst blow struck dim wits when the officials stepped in and put the skids under bis match with JEM DRISCOLL, ENGLISH FEATHERWEIGHT 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 VORCE AND MARRIAGE, cradle- less nurseries and a system of education which demotes Christ from the rank of headmas ter to a place on the back seat and instead of drilling an army is only arming a mob.

Notice is hereby given that the apport ionment of the cost of the improve ment of Fourteenth Street, Oregon City, Oregon, from the East side of Main Street to the West Side of Washington Street, has been ascer- tained and the proposed assessment has been apportioned and is now on file in the office of the Recorder of Oregon City, Oregon, and sub ject to examination. Any object ions to such apportionment that may be made in writing to the City Picturesque Fire Fighting 'In v . . The Capital of Fair Japan ' - M -In, If I - i ?' ' i f 1 I If p ; Photo by American Presa Association. ". 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.
