They are two sep arate branches of learning dispensers and it seems a shame to unda the work of our forefathers in education. Corvallis has world wide reputation as an Agricultural College and is con- sidered one of if not the Best in the ! united btates in this line of work. ; this county must be far below the Eugene is in higher education ! avera ge. But then Penpusher has a through the State University a dif-! ?hanc? t0 th?m a4n, inestimable - i,. ... . i favor by writing in a style that would ferent line entirely. To put agricult- raise tneir standard of good writing ure in with the other work would ; and good reading. Most editors try mean to put back the great work of i to cultivate the style of the best of the country's "hope," "Back to the i tneirJ comPeers. They also try to to, w r i.. ) avoid offending good taste. They also Farm. We need farmers more than , have a sense of modesty which is' not any other profession, and- scientific i apparent in the senseless scrawlings farming can only be properly taught j of the "Penpusher." No one reading through a college or special school , the editorials of Dana, Greeley, Wat- for that purpose. erHS0.n' f"litz' Bryan Sc0tt' W"' K v find in them the personal pronoun I. Keep the colleges where they are such is not custom, and for it to ap but help them grow; both of them. pear would be egotism of the monu m . m mental sort, it would be an offense NEW CITY CHARTER Vote for" the new city-charter at the charter and bond election on July 8 coming By so doing you will put the i .. y city management in the hands of a , systematic business man under the direction of a board of directors, the ' same as commercial corporations are successfully managed. You will also put the city in position to sell the bonds you vote for the elevator, the dock and the public grounds, familiar ly known as the "Play Grounds?' We need these things for the good of our wide awake and growing city. Vote yes on all the items on the ballot and be a booster first last and all the time. For What Offense Is a to Be Termed a Thief? E have got to bring the words thief and theft "V W into fashion once more, when these may justly be applied and when no other name fits. A man does not cease to be a thief because he STEALS MUCH nor remains one merely because he steals little. ACCORDING TO OUR PRESENT DAY CONCEPTION THE MAN WHO 8TEAL8 37 CENTS IS A MISER ABLE BEGGAR;' THE MAN WHO STEALS $37 IS A COMMON THIEF; THE MAN WHO STEALS $370 IS AN UNCOMMON SWINDLER; THE MAN WHO STEALS $37,000 IS A PROMOTER. AND THE'MAN WHO 8TEAL8 $37,000,000 IS A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY. m m The tenement house system is guilty of THEFT AND OF MURDER, too, for human overcrowding means pollution of air, and the pollution of air is not only theft, but murder, even though that murder be slow in operation or execution. The tenement house evil is not an unavoidable one. The tenement, as we know it at its worst, need not be. We must "learn to 'see that STEALING OF INVISIBLE THINGS may be just as truly theft as i3 the filching of things visible and tangible. .Nor need one take away from another in order to be guilty of theft. I steal from and rob my neighbor if T withhold from him that which is his RIGHTFUL DUE, even though he may not technically ever have been the possessor thereof. A man may be guilty of theft though he docs not abstract money from pay envelopes. To WITHHOLD FROM THE PAY EN VELOPE, that which ought to be contained therein is theft, even though the crime be committed by a millionaire corporation.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE Morning Enterprise: To the editor: A few days ago the writer picked up a sheet edited by your worthy contemporary and rival. This was done not because the writ er wished to indulge in a little light j reading, but to learn the view poftit : of both sides of the political situa ' tion, if there are two sides. The I view point of your rival was lost sight ; of entirely because of the editor's, (or I penpusher, as he styles himself) Vio j lation of all canons of good taste, of ' style and of modesty. His style is a cross between that of a cow boy and : a bowery tough. The writer wond-; ers if the editor of the Courier im- i agines that the majority of the people in Clackamas county are of that class ! It is the rule for an editor to address tiis matter in style and srnse to the character of his readers. If the Pen- nnshpr is Hninw tbia thoft thu ir-o1i; ! ,jerice and character' of the people of ' of both modesty and good taste. In ! one issue of the Courier on the edi- torial page, the "Penpusher,", refers ! to himself by the use of the personal 1, l mule ? i- Evidently the man is feeding his own conceits and gratifying his vanity, Could not the editor of the Enterprise Procure a small cut of the "Penpush- er and make him a present of it and let him insert the cut where he puts the pronoun "I" and then the page might appear unto the "Penpusher" as it now appears unto the ordinary intelligent reader. Another, thing is the sublime egot ism of the "Penpusher." He takes the ground as if he had the intelli gence and the experience necessary to correct all abuses or mistakes so cially and politically, and religiously. For insance, he states in the sheet that is before me, where he is speak- Man Is He Who Steals 37 Cents More Guilty Than He Who Appropriates m ?

An editor, like a judge, i a minister or teacher ought to have i ; dignity, and a sense of . selfrespect, i which is not always apparent in the 1 ! i pn ln school might imitate to good ad- vantage. I Jt does not seem to occur to the l-uouc. mat 11c oiejuuices ma cause by his violation . of the ordi nary canons of good writing. The writer does not find fault with v the "Penpusher" for the side he takes in his, issues, for the writer is more of-! ten' with him than against him, tut ! the writer finds himself disgusted be cause the "Penpusher's" utter disre gard and contempt for the canons of modesty and good use in writing. Itwill be senseless for the "Pen pusher to plead a lack of education or preparation as an excuse -for his style and manner, for all that a man needs t0 nave is gumptionand observation, aU the good editors are not yet dead, and a11 sooi books have not passed out of circulation. Now, Mr. Editor, the writer rr.ay have been severe and unjust to the "Penpusher." There may be some extenuating circumstance that is not apparent to the public. Perhaps it would be a good thing if proper auth orities called in an alienist to exam ine the "Penpusher's" bumps. He might be found to have typelice on the brain, and if that should be true tais criticism would be as pointless .is the "Penpusher's" weekiy editor ial jataberings. S. A.

For many yrars tie had given his life to an institution. In the early days whi'ii uu Imsiness could ill af ford sufficient clerical help he often did the work of two and even three men. He stood by the stuff. The business t:iev. hirsre and pros perous, and the ineu who labored with him in its establishment haddied.

The old man was let out. Which broke hi, heart. "Tie was not of the sort to r.r i;s heart on his sleeve. He tried to keep a stiff" upper lip. At the sauie.tiine it was appareut to those who kuew him well that his dismissal from the old place sugar coated under the specious guise of "resignation" was a mortal blow. . v He tried another line of business, but it is not easy to learn a new busi ness when you are old. He did not succewl in his new ven ture because he was mortally wound ed. The jolt was too heavy. He could not right himself. His mind became warped.

COUNCIL COTS OFF JACK FROST'S PAY (Continued from page 1) lowed. This was done in considera tion of the tact that the walks in ques tion would come on fills which should be given time to settle before perma nent walks could be laid on them. At a former meeting of the council, it was ordered that, in accordance with an ordinance now in force, prop erty owners be instructed to erect re- j. taining walls where cuts in street grading made them necessary. In re-! ply to this order Joseph E. Hedges, attorney for John T. Apperson and , the Oregon City Hospital Company, ' in a communication to the council : stated that the cut had not been com-1 pleted on Washington street and re-1 quested that this be done. On mo-j JV ? ST ?v,lman' ordered referred to the Recorder and , next meeting. A distussion then arose concerning the condition of Eleventh street along i this same property. On the soutll side of this street, between Washing- ton and Center, the walk was left i above grade to prevent litigation with the owners at the time the improve-, ment was made. The motion of Mr. SinfU? tbf,Mhe CUy rJ tte-io additional wall thus necessitated wa lOSC. The offer of the Oregon City Band to provide two public concerts a ' month for a period of four months . for a consideration of $100 was voted , down.

This recommendation ia due t0 the fact that there is a heavy fill on these two block on which it would be a waste of money to lay walks or put crushed rock until after the earth has fully settled. Mr. Roake offered a resolution for the improvement and hard surfacing of Main street, from Moss to t&e Ab ernethy Bridge which was unanimous ly carried. The reports of the City Recorder and Chief-of-Police were read and ordered adopted. The report of the Health committee showed improvement in sanitary con ditions.. No arrests were necessary, everybody showing a willingness to comply with the ordinances, when told to do so. Mr. Holman recommended that the old vineyard be opened as a part of the city cemetery and other improve ments. On motion of Mr. Beard, this recomendation was referred to the chairman of the cemetery committee with power to act. - The report of the finance commit tee for May was adopted on motion of Mr. Albright and warrants order ed drawn to pay-the bills. The ordinance to provide for thel sale of thirty-two general coupon bonds to. secure $16,000 for the con struction of an elevator up the bluff and a public dock came up for second reading and final passage. It passed as did the one to oil the streets and Mrs. Herrick Their Grandsons provide the funds for the same. The ordinances for the improvement of Jackson, Twelfth and Sixteenth streets were also read the second time and finally passed. The ordinance for the vacation of the alleyi n block 146 was read. The alley was ordered vacated and the or dinance ordered published. This mat ter will have its final hearing on June 24, which is also the date when bids close for the improvement of Six teenth and Jackson streets. The proposed fire alarm ordinance was read and ordered published. This provides for a general fire alarm sys tem and carries an appropriation of $2500 to pay for it. The City Engineer was ordered to establish a new grade on Fourth street and report at the next meeting This was also ordered done on Division street. It was further ordered that the purchase of fire hydrants be left to the Fire and Water committees with power to- act A committee from Canemah, con- listing of S. L. Stevens and Wm.
