We Are Living In the Best
Age Since the World
Began
By Dr. HENRY HEAD. Fellow of
and Surgeons
HERE NEVER WAS A
WHEN THERE WAS SO WIDE AN INTELLIGENCE, SO GREAT
AND VIVID AN INTEREST IN THE THINGS OF THE MIND
AS THERE IS TODAY.
There has never been so broad a distribution of intelligence, and I
am sure that neter since the second century in Rome has there been
SO BROAD A DISTRIBUTION" OF HAPPINESS. Indeed, of
all the times in all the history of mankind I think that the present age
bears the closest resemblance of those days of the Roman empire.
They were not yet the days of dissolution, but they were days of
decadence. And so is this.
And I do not see why that should be anything to wonder at or ex
claim against. The DECAY OF ONE CIVILIZATION IS NOT
SUCH A TERRIBLE TILING. Even if it is followed by a period
of chaos it is the way of life and development that one civilization
should decay and go to pieces.
Certainly, however, this is NOTv A STRENUOUS AGE. This
is a soft age. It is an age in which there is a great deal of overwork, a
great deal of fatigue and neurasthenia. But it is SOFT for all that.
' 1 t t
LOOK AT THE PEOPLE ALL ABOUT US. DO THEY LOOK AS
IF THEY LIVED IN A HARD AGE OR A HARD NATION? YCUR WO
MEN HERE IN AMERICA AND OUR WOMEN IN ENGLANO, .YOUR
LOVELY YOUNG GIRLS TROOPING OFF TO SCHOOL THERE IS
-NOTHING STRENUOUS ABOUT THEM. OVERRUSHED THEY " MAY
EE; MANY OF THEM ARE. BUT THEIR LIFE ISN'T ,'WHAT YOU
COULD CALL HARD. IT CAN'T COMPARE TO THE LlFEi OF WOMEN
IN ACE3 PAST. IT IS ESSENTIALLY A SOFT LIFE.
that it is self enacting and does not
require legislative action to become
effective. One grange bill is an en
abling act for the present law, but
provides a clumsy and cumbersome
machinery tor operation. The "Har
mony" bills limit the county indebt
edness to two per cent, which would
be fatal to many counties, as all parts
of the county must be benefitted by
the highways to be built or the tax
payers will not vote the indebtedness,
and two per cent twill not provide suf
ficient revenue. There is no need to
limit the indebtedness, taxpayers will
not vote an excessive amount and if
they do, the bonds cannot be sold.
Cities are not limited, why should
counties be?
Counties are left under this bill, to
provide their own ways and means of
action. The roads to be improved, the
materials to be employed, the methods
governing, are all left to the people
of the county who are presumed to be
able to govern themselves.
The Home Rule is made effec
tive at once, without further legisla
tion, and being a constitutional amend
ment does not require action by courts
to settle its validity upon technical
points. Its number on the ballot. is
3G0.
The bill is endorsed by Sam Hill,
the noted good roads advocate and
others interested in highway develop.

"Tacoma News" Bobs Up.
Recent press dispatches set forth
that a man named Dover, said now
to be a resident o Tacoma, has an
nounced that "somewhere in Chicago"
there are stored away duplicate lists
of the 1904 campaign contributions.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
William Hayward, ex-secretary of the
Republican National committee, says
there are no such duplicates. Tacoma
has long been a starting point of
news that isn't so, particularly about
political things. Tacoma, in fact,
seems to be a modern rival of Chee
foo, which produced columns oi
"news" that was quite unreliable
during the Russo-Japanese war. It
fil ally got so that articles that com
menced "via Chefoo" were always
regarded as fakes. News "via Ta
coma" now seems to be getting into
that same class.
Bank Clerks in Line.
There have been numerous happj
surprises at the Progressive Party
headquarters in Portland, but per
haps the most unique of these was
a visit during the lunch hour recent
ly of the teller of the First National
Bank. He asked for a pocketful of
Bull Moose buttons, saying that all
the "boys" in his bank, and several
of the clerical force in the other
city banks wanted to proclaim their
presidential preferences. Roosevelt
sentiment in . the banks had hardly
been expected.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
SCORES FOES OF SUFFRAGE.
. OREGON CITY, Oct 21. (Morning
Enterprise) About one man in ten
when asked what he things of Equal
Suffrage, says: "Sure I believe in it
let e'm suffer." If Adam or Hamlet
or Josh Billings, of whoever first
thought of that joke had- only had it
patented, he would have saved this
world a heap of forced laughter. But
alter you have done your little laugh,
unless you are perfectly reckless with
your time you might as well drop the
subject, for reasons that need no ex
plaining.
But the cither day the ninth man
happened to be a very well known cit
izen you would certainly smile if
you knew his name, and he said em
phatically that he was opposed to the
extension of the franchise, because for
one reason, women were much better
off being represented by the men. I
started to remind him of the millions
of women who nave no man to repre
sent them, but he was not in a reasona
ble mood, so I flung at him the fact that
his sister was a prominent sufiragist,
and this is what Mr. Well Known cit
izen said: '
"I know "he wants to vote. She has
often talked the matter over with me,
but I do not think she should, and her
husband does not think she should,
and so she doesn't stand much chance
J of voting."
And that is the way one woman in
Oregon City ip represented by the
men of her family.

PROGRESSIVES PLACE POPULAR
MEN UPON Ca-OT.
Candidates for State Offices Named
at Bull Moose Convention Are
All Noted for Efficiency and
True Principles.
' Efficiency, activity, straightforward
ness are the main characteristics
that" apply to the state Progressive
Party ticket in Oregon. The dele
gates that gathered at Salem to name
this ticket bore the good of the party
In mind constantly, and also kept
constantly before them the pledge
that Theodore Roosevelt had made
to the people "to carry out in the
interests of our whole people the
policies set forth in the Progressive
platform."
This pledge of the leading Progres
sive was regarded as the party
pledge, to be carried out both in the
national and state branches of gov
ernment; and the convention there
fore picked or endorsed men for the
state positions whom they believed
would prove of substantial aid to
Progressive policies if they were
given office- From top to bottom oi
the ticket this was born in mind,
and the men now on the Bull Moose
ticket are such as should appeal tc
all truly Progressive voters.
A. E. Clark, long an attorney ami
citizen of prominence in Portland,
was named for United States Sena
tor. Mr. Clark knows the needs oi
Oregon as but few other men do, he
has the confidence of thousands oi
voters, and he has repeatedly provec
himself a man of public spirit. Free
of any connection with former po
litical "rings" and combinations in
the state, it is believed that he will
poll a winning vote while factional
leaders will defeat each other.
John D. Mickle, the nominee for
Dairy and Food Commissioner, is also
believed to be a candidate who will
add strength to the ticket.
For Secretary of State the Progres
sives have placed the name of Ben
jamin E. Kennedy upon the ballot
Kennedy is a man well known
throughout Eastern Oregon, where he
is a general favorite with men ol
all parties. A man of wide experi
ence and great breadth of view upon
all questions, he is regarded as one
of the best possible nominees for the
position, and as one upon whom the
hand of "Victory is apt to rest. As a
newspaperman, Kennedy was always
known as one of the best.
Robert Service, the candidate for
railroad commissioner, is well-fitted
for the position by many years ot
experience in different departments
of transportation work. The men se
lected as presidential electors are
those who can be relied upon to cast
their ballots in the electoral college
as instructed by their home voters,
while the congressmen who have
been endorsed will add dignity and
strength to .the ticket.
Little Tasks of Life.
It is while you are patiently toiling
at the little tasks of life that the mean
ing and shape of the great whole of life
dawns upon you. It is while you are
resisting little temptations that you
are growing stronger. Phillips Brooks.

HEADQUARTERS
BY MANY.
Rooms of Oregon Roosevelt Organi
zation Always Filled With People
Desirous of Learning News of
Colenel's Progress.
One of the interesting sidelights
upon the presidential campaign in
Oregon to be found by a visit to dif
ferent headquarters is that in ony
one camp does there seem to be any
real activity. At the rooms of the
Progressive Party, in the Hotel Ore
gon, there is always a crowd, people
are constantly coming and going, and
an interested group is always to be
found standing before the bulletin
board, whereon are posted the latest
reports from all sections of the coun
try. In sharp contrast to this are the
scenes- at the headquarters of the
other two principal candidates. Some
slight sign of life may be found at
the Democratic rooms, but at Taft's
headquarters there is evident only
the quiet and still peace of the
grave. The voter who makes the
rounds of all three headquarters will
be impressed with one thing, no
matter what his politics may be, and
that is that the Progressive Party is
interesting the people. And what
ever the people are interested in is
worth watching.

The Fork.
It is about l.SMK) years ago since the
fork made its appearance in Europe.
In 99 A. D. a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had wedded in Venice the 'Briz
zantine Princess Argila. who produced
at the wedding breakfast n silver fork
and gold sjioon. Then the high Vene
tian families followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new Instrument: The fork
prospered, however, and spread over
Italy. Id'1.7 It had traveled as fur
as France, and in tKOX a traveler took
it direct to England.
