FOOD PRODUCER FOR WORLD
In his sixteenth annual report, and
which is probably the last which he
will ever write, Secretary Wilson, of
the Department of .Agriculture, treats
us to a new symphony in crop report
ing Tho department just tells us that
cotton will very closely approach the
unprecedented yield of 16,000,000
bales harvested in 1911, and may pos
sibly, pass that great total, while corn
will reach 3,169,000,000 bushels, a
quantity which leaves all past figures
far behind. The report for wheat,
oats, rye, potatoes, the principle fruits
and other fqor products is likewiss
nattering, the record inNsome of them
"being broken.
To all of us this will be a pleasing
tale, particularly as it may te to re
lieve a scare which has been created
in Europe because of the danger of a
general war on that continent. Of
many of our articles of food we will
have a surplus which could reach
large figures in our exports if a de
mand abroad should arise for them.
Accustomed as we have been in the
past few years to seeing- the aggre
gate products of our farms reaching
high figures, the altitude which they
promise to reach this time will he
calculated to make us dizzy. That
we are far ahead of any other coun
try in our production of most of those
articles of food is a twice-toldtale.
Thus Thanksgiving for 19i$.:, will,
when it. reaches us, have no difficulty
in telling what is here for. Seldom
since the holiday was invented nearly
three centuries ago, has it had - so
many reasons for existance as it can
cite at Vs approaching appearance.
What would Gov. Bradford of the
Massachusetts Colony, when he set
apart a day for thanksgiving for the
bounties of the earth which the year
ha furnished, have thought could he
have glanced, phophetically, at the
great harvest which 1912 would bring
to the country whose foundations he
was assisting in planting. The corn
which the Wampaaoags had taught
him how to cultivate, and which was
a native here, has since then traveled
round the earth, but eveh today, we
produce three times as much of it as
all the rest of the globe yields. To
our remote ancestors the red man
dealt out more kindness perhaps than
some of them deserved. He saved
them from starvation in the trouble
some days which they encountered in
establishing a great state, and inci
dentally they gave to the world one
of the most valuable of all its articles
of tooa . The vast yield which it
brings us this year stirs the imagina
tion. The evolution of Indian corn is
one of the romances of American his

HARRIS PLEADS FOR LIFT.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 25. (Editor of
the Enterprise). I hae read Mr.
Hackett's article of November 22, but
I still think the taxpayeers would get
benefit from attending the council
j meetings. Mr. Hackett says "it can t
ue necessary lor us to waicn me coun
cil to see that they do our business
properly". I should say not in the way
Mr. Hackett implies, but I would like
to ask him what result he would ex
pect if he engaged men to do certain
private work and then never show up
to direct or advise them what he want
ed done. I think we should all vote
for the elevator as I regard every dol
lar the taxpayers put judiciously into
public improvements is a good invest
ment as it will induce outsiders to
come and invest in our property. I
will cheerfully pay my share of the
cost. I believe our finance committee,
with the encouragement and assist
ance of the taxpayers, is capable of
taking care of Oregon City's indebted
ness in a reasonable time.

sofres only with the selection of men to make laws and ad

TIES OF THOSE VOTING and the acts and derisions of admin

of office to hang upon the momentary fickleness of such popular de
cision then every citizen has a right to require of everv other the
affirmative exercise of his right to viiiciiiimi everv sueh question.
There can be no power without responsibility. If our institu

steadily? I read in the Morning En
terprise of Saturday, Dec. 23, of the
meeting of expectant voters held in
the Presbyterian Church anf of their
refusal to endorse any man for mayor
who would not pledge against saloons.
As our laws are now, the best we can
do is to elect a: mayor who will ap
point good and efficient subodihates
officers and then see that they enforce
the laws regulating saloons.
As the situation now stands we have
good material for our choice as to
mayor and for councilmen from those
several wards. Let us not commit the
follies of a Don Quixote. There are
measures to be voted upon to which
we may well give our thoughtful at
tention, i. e., the elevator, the bond
ingof the city's indebtedness, an
amendment to the city charter provid
ing ways to meet the city obligations
as they fall due. These are measures
that we should and can investigate in
order that we know what we are vot
ing and why the need, especially the
bonding act. There is no doubt if ve
procede with this enlarged responsibil
ity wisely now, that as time passes,
we will be not only permitted but
urged to take our places as actual
workers, not merely as sounding
boards in all work, not municipal only,
but of the state at large. Let us lay
aside petty personalities and party,
make our choice from opposing candi
dates wisely, ihen on December 2 go
to the polls and cast our votes with
dignity.

An Arabian "Legend.
The Arabians b;-il a tradition that
when the devil started forth from bis
own place to the garden of Eden he
was too lazy to walk and begged all
the animals, one after another, to car
ry him. All refused except the ser
pent, which was then a quadruped and
the most beautiful of all beasts. Yield
ing to the entreaties of Satan, the ser
pent took up the devil on its back and
carried Mm the rest of the way. no
one knows how far. and after the con
sequences of the devil's entry into the
garden became apparent the -angels
were commanded to look up the ser
pent and punish it. so Michael cut off
its legs, and it was doomed henceforth
to travel about flat on the ground.

LET TKEM BE!
It is after supper
Little Walter and his baby sister.
Muriel, are playing on the Boor. You
are trying to read the evening news
paper. They, carried away in the joy
of their play, fSrget all else. They are
unusually boisterous.
Mother asks them to be quiet.
They -can't be quiet.
That is. not for long. In a few min
utes the childish laughter and screams
of delight till the house. The noise
gets on your nerves. You voice your
grouch.
Nevertheless let" them be!
By and by they will be sleepy and
rvill be sent to bed. Anvwav .
Those precious kids of yours are in
the full enjoyment of that which in its
fullest measure will never come "to
them again -perfect freedom from all
care and responsibility.
By and by Walter will be a big boy.
and before you know it' a man's labors
and struggles and temptations and sac
rifices will be demanded of him. Let
him enjoy to the full his heritage of
childhood. Give him his chance. You
had yours, and the memory of it is the
sweetest thing of your life. '
And Muriel?
Sooner than you and mother dream
of it ber dresses will be lengthened.
Soon the lessons of school lifeJ-and.the
lessons of life's school must worry the
girl - .
And-
Some day sad day for you and moth
eryou must hold a cheerful face and
give your little girl away to some other
man!
What will that future hold for her?
Will she be a happy wife or no? New
tasks and worries, sorrows and be
reavements maybe, will come.
You shrink from the contemplation
Let them be. "
Life Is thickly strewn with thorns as
well as roses you know full well. And
no telling where the footstep of your
babies some day may lead.

Later on the noises of joyful play
will have censed and the silences yill
come the silences of sufferingf of
hardship, of disappointment, of be

They are happy now.

French Bantamweight Champion Anx
ious to Fight America's Best.
Another .foreigu champion pugilist
has arrived in America for the pur
pose of trying to capture the world's
championship in his class by defeating
the American title holder. This tighter
is Charles Ledoux. the bantamweight
champion of . France, who has been
fighting for three years, during which
time be has engaged in fiff-five bat
tles, fifty-four of which he won by a
knockout. t
Among the victims were Digger Stan
ley, -the English bantamweight cham
pion, whom he stopped in seven rounds,
and Joe Bowker. another good English
bantam, whom he knocked out in eight
rounds. Stanley got a decision over
Ledoux, in . a twenty round bout "iu
England before the Frenchman put
him away in the second battle.
This is the only time that Ledoux
has ever been defeated. Ledoux was
taught boxing by Frank Erne, the re
tired ex-lightweight champion of
America. The little Frenchman says
he came to America to fight Johnny
Coulon for the bantamweight title and
that he could make 116 pounds at the
ringside without any effort.
