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. ment. "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. the Royal College of Physicians In London TIME IN THE HISTORY OF MAN TirrkT?TTWi t?ttWT?TT?THW TTTCTSTi A V OnTOKFTR, 22. 1912. , Did You Ever Fish With A Dwa-jack? Ask Scoop 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. ERNESTINE SINGER. Peoples' Met lames Good lien 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.

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. - Boost your city by boosting your daily paper. The . Enterprise should be in every home. ! Bonds! Insurance!
