ing himself faced by the middlewom- ..w mightily encouraged over
an with a market basket on her arm.
There are already 700,000 housewives
organized into what is called The
Housewives' League. At present the
greatest strength of the body is to be
found in the city of New York, where
the pinch of high prices in foodstuffs
added to the enormous rentals and
other abnormal charges incident to
a highly artificialized life, is the hard
est. In other Eastern cities, however,
and in Chicago, the organization is
now formed, and it has reached a
point of expansion and a concert or
action, making themselves visible in
reports of gratifying results. These
results are indicated, .in thekvbbing
results are indicated not only in
prices in some lines, but in initiative
toward perfecting pure food laws,
and the correction of fse labeling.
"Some of the dealers who handle
canned goods in large quantities,"
says Mrs. Julian Heath, president of
The Housewives' League, "buy them
unlabeled and select a name of their
own say X Y X brand. They may
take corn, for example, from several
clitterent canneries, ana u may ue oi
different grades, but it all labeled
X Y Z. What we housewives want
to know is where that corn was can
ned and under what conditions.'
This is scripture, which repeatedly
forbids putting into the mouth what
will defile the flesh. The middlewom
an will become our tower of strength
against such middlemen as seek to
defile us, at high rates and under false
labels. And she will tower even high
er as our bulwark against extortion.
It is not the purpose of the House
wives' League to eliminate all middle
men, but to co-operate with the fit
test of them who survive, in serving
the ends of economy and purity In
securing food supplies. Woman's
reputation for finding bargains in
wearing apparel encourages us to
hope that her ability in getting the
most of her money, when turned to
the solution of the food problem, will
soon make her our pillar of cloud by
day and a fire by night. Against the
lordly and relentless middleman we
put the middlwoman with her market
basket. And we trust her more than
we do statesmen, economists andTub
licists who almost always miss solv
ing human problems, because they
feel under an intellectual obligation
I to hunt for them in the midst or com
plexities, while, almost always, the.'

Little Scoop Takes A
the result of the election," says Mr.
URen. Why?
On the face o fthe returns we see
nothing for U'Ren to be encouraged
over. Everyone of his pet measures
his everlastinq hobbies, went down
to decisive defeat, and the persistent
U'Ren will have them on the ballot
again in 1914, so he says.
"The reactionaries and standpatters
made an attack on the initiative and
referendum and failed," says U'Ren,
who, along with Jonathan Bourne and
a small, but select company, made an
attack on the direct primary law, and
also failed.
"We gained equal suffrage, which
is a great victory," continues U'Ren.
lie is right, it is a great victory. The
Enterprise is glad to have been able
to controbute towards it, but we do
not remember that U'Ren made a
single speech for it during the cam
paign preceding Tuesday's election.
It is like U Ren to crow over the suff
rage victory, for he can see, as well
as any other man, that women will
vote in Oregon in 1914, when he runs
for Governor.
Time was when we believed in Mr..
U'Ren's sincerity, but no more.
He voted for Roosevelt for presi
dent, and Wilson was chosen, which
is another reason why the Clackamas
law-giver should be "mightily en
couraged" over the result of the elec
tion. The peope of Oregon don't want
IT'Rerf for Governor, and will say so
in 1914, it given the opportunity.
COUNTRY ALL RIGHT.
The Enterprise doesn't believe bus
iness is going to smash just because
Woochow Wilson has been eiet-l
This paper, like all good Americans
s ould al'vsvs o. is r ptimistic. We
believe the success of the country is
largely dependent upon the popular i
view. If Wilson's administration is
successful, if the country is prosper- I
ous under Democratic rule, Mr. Wil
son or any other Democrat may be I
elected president in 1916. If the ad
ministration is not a successful one,
the American people may be depend
ed upon to make a change for the
better. Mr. Taft was the victim of an
upheaval for which he was not re
sponsible. And, although he is over
whelmingly defeated, his need of
praise will be bestowed by his coun
trymen in years to com: He was
perhaps wrong in heeding the advice
of certain friends, but there is not a
single American, so far as we know,
who will accuse him of doing any
thing but what he thought was right.
We are drifting. Tne nation is drift
ing. Evolution is as immutable a
law as it was in the Paleozoic or Cam
brian divisions. Wilson is an evolu
tion. Parties do not mean as much
as they did immediately before or af
ter the civil war. The independent
voter carries the balance of power. '
loaay ne elects ran anu tomorrow
Wilson. And the Enterprise is big
enough to believe that he knows what
ne is doing, vv nson s election is i
largely an experiment. We believe I
the men who elected him thought so
when they cast their ballots. ''Hope
spring's eternal in til nvMian breast"
and the electors thought the placing
of the Democratic candidate in the
White House might be an aid to bus
iness. If it proves the contrary one
may depend upon these same men
putting the party out with the same
decisive majority or plurality.
Voting in. its final analysis is a
selfish proposition. That's what
makes it a successful proposition. We
vote for a certain man because we
think the election of that man will
benefit us. If we find that we are
mistaken and are honest with our
selves and our countrymen we' and
we mean by we now, the independent
voters, rectify the wrong as soon as
possible, self preservation being the
first law of nature.
The Enterprise does not believe as
some of the other commentators on
the results of Tuesday's electron that
the Republican party nationally is
destroyed. On the contrary we be
lieve that it will rise phoenix like
from its so-called ruins and be a pow
er for good in future years. To ad
mit anything else is to give the Dem
ocratic party credit for greater lon-

The Sea Otter.
The sea otter combines the habits of
a seal with the intelligence and amus
ing character of the otter. When met
in herds far out at sea. which is but
seldonK now. they are commonly seen
swimming on their backs. They even
eat their food lying in this position on
the water and nurse their young ones
on their chests between their paws, ex
actly as a south sea island mother
swims with her baby in the water.
When swimming in this attitude they
even shade their eyes with their paws
when the sun da rales them.
A Printer's Blunder.
A Paris newspaper on one occasion
made a blunder which excited no small
amount of merriment at the expense of
a man of real talent. The following
paragraphs, intended to have been
printed separately, were by some error
so arranged that they were read con
secutively: "Dr. X. has been appoint
ed head physician to the Hopital de
la Charite. Orders have been issued
by the authorities for the immediate
extension of the cemetery of Mont Par
nasse. The works are being executed
with the utmost dispatch."
