There never was a more striking illustration of determ ination that the united stand taken by the four Commercial Clubs, Jennings Lodge, Gladstone. Canemah, and Oregon City, in their investigation into the fares now being charged by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. These com mittees are organized; know each others wants and respect them. Ore gon City is working for its brothers ; for its natural business zone, to use the term of the tariff men. They have system and are carrying it out. They know what they want and intend get " ting it. There are irregularities in the rates; yes, there are apparent dis criminations and our friends in the management of the Railway company we think now see the point. What the results of the hearings will be can on ly be learned after the next meeting. Meantime, all are encouraged. MAKING THE" POOR POORER since the days of the great plague, centuries ago, that has caused so much suffering as the strike of the coal miners, which has deranged British industries generally, and de prived millions not engaged in mining of the means of support. It is a pitiful story that comes from the British Isles of a vast number of fam ' ilies in all pursuits thrown out of im ployment and, after pawning their fur niture and other personal property, are in absolute want Small trades men also are among the victims. Their customers are penniless, and though ready and eager to work, can do nothing in the face of a lack of coal, an article of necessity in making the wheels go round. In all countries a majority of the people have but a small margin above their wages. A few idle weeks ex haust the savings and meager means of credit All England has felt the pinch of this crisis, and the nationajj feeling has been one of great alarm. To tie up coal in such an industrial country soon holds up bread. The strike was ordered in winter, a time when fuel is necessary to life. A period of torture, physical and men tal, has racked England in the last six weeks. It is said that the strike is nearing an end. ' It must be observed, as is customary in such ill-judged contro versaries, that the workmen will not get all they asked, nor employers re tain all they claimed. What is there to prevent compromises without a strike? Nothing, manifestly, but a reckless obstinacy, and an angry in- Women, Start a Marriage Strike If You Can't Choose " Your Careers By LEROY SCOTT. Author SHOULD a girl break her engagement rather than give up her career? . The question ought to be settled before marriage and settled right And it can't be right for the man to impose on his wife either one or two TYRANNOUS EXACTIONS. He ought not to forceNher to SCRUB FLOORS AND WASH DISHES when she is longing to PAINT PICTURES or give lec tures. And he ought not to ask her to give up the WORK J3HE LOVES and sit back with folded hands and do nothing. I WOULD HAVE THE THOUGHTFUL, EFFICIENT YOUNG WOM EN WHO ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE8E ALTERNATIVES START A MARIRAGE STRIKE. NOT A 8TRIKE FOR LE8S LABOR. BUT FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF CHOOSING THEIR OWN LABOR.

Some thousands of strikers and op erators have it in their power to im poverish millions of theif fellow-citizens who have done them no wrong, but, on the contrary, are the ones to whom they sell their products. Truly, the modern strike takes from those who have little, the little they have. The battle ship New Hampshire, chosen to ascend the Mississippi as far as the depth of the water this spring will permit, dates from 1905, has a tonnage of 16,000, 16,500 horse power, a speed of eighteen knots and a main battery of twenty-four guns, ranging from 12 inches to 7. Her cost was $6,300,000. St. Louis hopes to give her a big greeting in the har bor there. Live Wirelets (By Edgar Bates.) In most book stores the books are arranged in sections, each book being placed with others of a similar na ture. Thus technical books will be found altogether, fiction occupying a different shelf. Some people will wonder why a local shop has a bunch of Single Tax books stacked alongside a row- of joke, riddle, and dream books. Are they out of place? No doubt Oregon City will present a "deserted vilage" aspect today as far as the men are concerned. Hund reds will fish for salmon at the falls and many more will try their luck for trout in. the Clackamas, Milk Creek and Clear Creek. The Port land ball game will draw a bunch and not a few will go to Canby to see the game. Some will go automobiling, some more go walking and by late this afternoon the women folk will have the town to themselves. ' If the ' street sprinkler would get busy today it would take a month for some people to get over the shock. That Portland chap who wants a woman to handle snakes-will keep on "wanting." Women can and do put up with a lot but when it comes to snakes . . When hard surface pavement is placed on north Main street, tUis city's principal thoroughfare will pre sent a cosmopolitan aspect. Right now, however, is the opportune time to force the railroad, telephone and light companies to place all overhead wires underground. In a few years, with increased demand for service this problem will become a most ser ious one, and right now, before this street is permanently improved, is the time to insist that all these wires be placed out of the way. Attending to this matter now is a question of real economy, for should it be neces sary to dig up a recently improved street, the cost would run up into the thousands. Of course the city would not be out this money but a hard sur face pavement can never be repaired and put in as good, a condition as it was before being torn up. The coun cil should take this matter up in the immediate future. . Don't forget to get that white car nation todax. X The ice man seems to be the hap piest man around town these days. Two months from today we will all be planning to go to the Chautauqua. . An event, highly important, to the i entire northwest in a historical way was the laying of the cornerstone of Reed Institute. Those familiar with the scope of the work outlined by the University declare that in a less time than a decad Reed will become the most famous institution of learning in the west. A celebration among government of ficials has been held to commemorate the filing of the millioneth patent in the United States Patent office. Thus Scoop Srings the one million' articles have been patent ed since the establishment of this gov ernment, all but 10,000 having been fil ed in twenty years. At this rate a.n other million will be filed by 1925, the United States leading all other, coun tries in respect to the number issued. A Yankee is certainly an ingenius1 cuss. With paper mills on both sides of the river it seems out of place that a jewelry' store has to import wrap ping paper frob Sweden. Some people do not know that the local merchants have already placed orders for the bulk of their Xinas mer chandise. A movement is on foot to do away with a number old old tumble-down shacks which infest the southern part of town near the railroad tracks. This is a move forward, for these houses, in addition to being veritible fire traps are unsanitary in the extreme, and present a disrespectable appearance. This is' the first sight which greet per sons coming from the south and gives visitors a mighty poor impression of our city. The Rose Show is the next bis stunt to be pulled off in Oregon City and every live citizen should put his shoulder to the wheel and make the affair a big success. By the way, when the committee solicits your fi nancial assistance meet them with a smile, give them an order for the amount you desire to donate for a prize and allow this committee to use their own judgment in purchasing the prizes. Encourage your children i to enter the parades, enter your choic est roses against those of your neigh bor, and boost the whole affair in ev ery possible manner. The other day Caruso received an amount equivalent to a mill workers wages for an entire year, in return for a single song for a talking machine company. More than 2,000 cigars are smoked in Oregon City every, day. INDICTED f (Continued from page 1) forward man by the people of Clack amas County. "There is absolutely no violation of the corrupt practices act," continued Mr. Brownell, "upon the part of Mr. Schnoerr, but there undoubtedly has been a quite numerous violation of the corrupt practices act by various political candidates and managers ' in this county, and elsewhere during the late campaign. In fact it is a matter of common knowledge that there is more money being used in politics in the state of Oregon, and has been used in the last four or five years, than any other time in the political history of this state for twenty-five years. Of course this will be no ex cuse for Mr. Schnoerr, if he has vi olated the law, bu1he has not violat ed it in any way, is not guilty of any offense, and will not be convicted be fore any intelligent or fair-minded jury in Clackamas County. "The people will see between the lines that this is simply a movement for the purpose of endeavoring to stir up feeling inside the Republican party in this county, and at the same time, is done for the purpose of insulting the German-American voters of Clackamas County, among whom Mr Schnoerr is recognized, as a leader, and I sincerely hope that the German American Republicans, as well as the German-American Democrats of this county, will investigate this proceed ing against Mr. Schnoerr, and if they do, they will find that this is-a move ment, largely engineered by certain Democratic leaders in Clackamas County, for the purpose of trying to fill up the courthouse with Democrats and smashing the Republican ticket generally. Mr. Jack was elected by Republican votes, and he is a Demo- ocrat; Mr. Mass was elected by Ke publican votes, and he is a Democrat and Judge Beatie was elected by Re- publican votes, and he is a Democrat ! and has made a very good judge, but I this ought to satisfy the Democratic leaders of Clackamas county, and it I ought to be notice to the Republicans of Clackamas County that the time has come when the ought to begin toshake themselves " loose, and get ' down to business and see if they can not elect a Republican ticket in this county this year, and at least get a few Republicans in the courthouse, i particularly when we consider that ithis is a Republican county by from 400 to 700 votes, and this can be done very easily if the Republicans will I stop their nonsense and lay aside lit I tie jealousies and conclude that a i good average Republican candidate is I as good a man for the people, as any jgood average Democrat that ever lived."
