ONCE "MORE THE ASSASSIN.
The assassination of the Spanish
premier brings to the front again the
virtual responsibility " of protecting ,
public men against attacks by mur
derous agitators or cranks. Unlike
Shrank, however, the man who as- i
saulted Col. Roosevelt, Martin, who
assassinated Senor Canalejas, seems 1
to have been an avowed anarchist, ;.
who belongs to a recognized band of
these enemies of society. These male- j
factors are found in all countries, an?
their hands are against all prominent j
representatives of the social order, j
While the Milwaukee criminal was ap- j
parentis an ill-balanced person, the
Madrid murderer had all the intelli- j
gence and the knowledge of conse
quences which belong to men of his
order.
Anarchism has a long memory. Be- j
cause Alfonso's government executed
Ferrer, a leader of the Red Republi
cans of Barcelona, for complicity, or
alleged complicity, in a Republican
demonstration in that Republican cen
ter back in 1909, 'Alfonso and his prin
cipal ministers were marked for

What Has Any Man to
Fear if Women Vote ?
By Professor B. H. MEYER of the
'YKK since I have lieon old
mutter I have thought that women should have all the rights
1 hat men have. 1 have neTer heard a single objection which.
in my judgment, had SUBSTANTIAL MERIT.
I have long felt and now feel that to deny women anything what-"
soever which men enjoy is to IMPEACH THEIR CAPACITY.
ABILITY AND CHARACTER. No man can really believe in
democracy and deny women a single right granted to men.
I should consider it a OREAT TN.TFSTICE to my mother,, my
sister, my wife and my daughter to even question their right to per
form any fundamental function in political life.
WHAT CAN I OH ANY OTHER MAN HAVE TO FEAR FROM
THEIR PARTICIPA-.O. IN ALL THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP?

made to kill the king since then, and
also to take the lives of some of his
cabinet, but all failed until the ablest
and most powerful of them was taken
off. No public man, under any form of
government is immune from assault
by these foes of the established order.
Spain and Italy seem to have more
of them than any other country, in
proportion to population, but all have
them. They hase been less prevalent
in England than in other European
nations, because England offers them
an asylum unless they commit some
overt act against the law, but they are
in that county too, as some attacks
all of them harmless, made upon the

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
SOCIALISM DEFENDED.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 18. (Ed
itor of the Enterprise) I hold no brief
for the Socialists. I am not myself a
Socialist. Neither am I writing this
merely to uphold the contention of my
friend, the Rev. Mr. Robinson, as I be
lieve lie is quite capable of taking
care of his own cause. But I am sure
that the Enterprise has been uncon
sciously unfair to the Socialists, and
1 am sure it is desirous of giving all
classes in the community fair play.
In your editorial reply to Mr. Rob
inson you quoted quite a list of Social
ists as opposed to Christianity. A num
ber of the quotations were given in
their true sense, but some were not.
For instance, you implied from the
words of Rev. Mr. Brown and Prof.
Herron that these men were opposeu
to Christianity. Your quotations
merely show the fact that they are
opposed to a certain type of Chris
tianity, that which they believe, right
ly or wrongly,, to be dominated by
what they call "The Capitalistic Class
spirit". Yet both of these men pro
fess to be Christians. True I cannot
agree with them in their interpreta
tion of Christianity, but that is apart
from the matter under discussion. As
well quote Luther's strictures upon
the Church of Rome as atheistic at
tacks upon the foundations of the
Christian faith, as call these men's at
tacks upon what they believe to be
a money-owned church, renunciation
of Jesus Christ.
True, Engale, Marx, Blatchford and
many others of the Socialist leaders
are atheistic. That is their privelege.
Using the same argument, Tom Payne,
Jefferson, and probably twenty other
founders of Democracy are atheistic.
Consequently a man must be an ath
eist if he votes the Democratic tick
et. Or Bob Ingersoll, Joe Cannon, and
quite a respectable number of Repub
lican nabobs are infidels, hence all
Republicans are outcasts and sin
ners. In America probably one
third of the Socialist brotherhood
belongs to the Christian Socialist fel
lowship. Two are honored professors
in leading Theological seminaries, and
their Christianity has never been call
ed in question. The head of the For
eign Missionary Board in one of the
largest evangelical denominations in
the United States is a Socialist, yet
as a denominational leader he has the
unanimous endorsement of the entire
denomination. The Austrian Social
ists are largely "Christian Socialists".
These men hold 80 seats in the Reich
srath. The Christian Socialist fellow
ship is strong in Sweden and in Great
Interstate Commerce Commission

Britain. . Yet these men are as truly
Socialists as are their unbelieving fel
lows. "
Socialism is purely an economic
philosophy. In brief, Socialism means
the taking out of the hands of individ
uals and placing in common public
ownership all the means of producing
wealth. Wealth may still be private,
but the means of its production must
be equally accessible to all. This is
a question as far outside the realm of
religion as the tariff, or single tax, or
Canadian reciprocity. To those who
understand Socialism, either friend or
foe, any attempt to make a religious
issue is simply ludicrous.
Socialism is an issue that must be
faced, not in the spirit of ridicule, nor
in that of unfairness. Mr. Taft says
it is the next great issue before the
American people. Its arguments must
be met fairly and squarely. I am not
a Socialist, yet I must confess that I
have no more Tear of Socialism under
mining the Rock of Ages than I have
of Republicanism or Democracy. It
is an economic theory, revolutionary
in its nature, yet purely an economic
theory for all that.

PROTESTS AGAINST CITY DEBT.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 18.(Editor
of the Enterprise.) In the Morning
Enterprise a few days since I notice,
under your account of council meeting
that Councilman Meyers and Mayor
Dimick are agreed that Oregon City
is in a serious condition. Never were
words spoken truer! Mr. Taxpayer
had better heed this warning. When
a little town like Oregon City is carry
ing a burden of $250,000 and better,
isn't it about time we inquire into the
merits of the men who placed us in
this position and of the new men who
seek to do further business for us?
A city election is at hand and be
fore you vote for any man offering his
services wouldn't it be wise to find
out where he stands, as to placing
our city fureher in debt? As a proper
ty owner and taxpayer of Oregon City
I wish to protest against any further
indebtedness being created for any
purpose whatever. No man should be
elected to the council who is not "wil
ling to go on record as against any
further indebtedness, and tax-players
will be serving themselves and Ore
gon City if they heed this warning.
It isn't safe to jump into the river
with such a millstone tied about our
necks.

TO OBEY ?
A New York man ou the evening be
fore he was to be married broke his
engagement with the bride because she
refused to promise to obey Itttfi.
Fortunate she! '
The word obey" still remains in
some of the marriage rituals, although
it signifies little, the promise being un
derstood to be given In a Tick wickian
sense.
Certainly there are not many intelli
gent women who will give such a
promise without mental reservation.
It has been suggested that the serv
ice be amended to read "love, eherisb
and help." which would be much bet
ter. No bride would object to such a
pledge.
And the husband?
Should he desire to make a slave of
his wife or a nonentity?
Is man superior to woman?
Fifty or a hundred years ago it might
have been so contended. Woman to
day is considered the equal of man
If so. should the wife be expected to
look up to the husband as lord and
master and the husband look down
upon his wife ns his inferior depend
ent? Woman is not inferior.
As a matter of fact, many a woman
is a better manager than her husband.
And he should be glad to avail himself
of her superior ability In the manage
ment of their affairs.
Does he want t be a tyrant?
Does the husband want to humiliate
his wife by posing as her superior, or.
what is more to the point, does he
wish to make a hypocrite of her? Cer
tain it is that, while she may. under
stress, pay outward tribute to his as
serted mastership or soothe his vanity
by asking his permission to do or not
to do, she will do as she pleases.
"When a woman will she will, you
may depend on't. And when she won't
she won't, and there's an end on't"
Really this New York man was born
too late in the world's history
Or in the wrong country.
In Abyssinia lie might be able to
find a woman who would marry hfm
on her promise to obey. Kven then he
might discover later on that his slave
wife had tricked him
It is high time the marriage service
were edited to date. "Obey" should be
eliminated.
Marriage is a full partnership.
Before, x make.

that she might live. When death came to him shortly afterward In the hos

lived In vain, after all." All Gary turned out to the hero's funeral. Miss
