TITLE IN DANGER
Holder cf Championship Will
Stack Up (gainst Two Cracks.
KID WILLIAMS TOUGH NUT,
He Will Meet Johnny In New York
Dec. 17 Winner to Be Matched With
Ledoux, the Boss Bantam of Europe.
Palzer's Stock Goes Down.
By TOMMY CLARK. '
A world's bantam championship is in
the making. Charley Ledoux. the ban
tam boss of Europe, has accepted terms
to meet the victor of the return battle
between Johnny Coulon and Kid Wil
liams In New York. Coulon and Wil
liams will settle their mooted question
of superiority in Gotham Dec. 17. and
two weeks later Ledoux will be sent
against the winner. That is. Ledoux
will get the match provided he Is not
tripped up by some of the Americau
116 pounders that he contemplates
testing himself otit against.
In his first battle in this country
against "Battling" Reddy in New York
he showed up well. He mauled Reddy
without a letup. He set a pace that

would have made Battling Nelson turn
green with envy. The Frenchman had
a way of jumping in with his punches
that seemed to kill off any of the force
of his wicked looking swings and up
percuts. The general verdict was that Ledoux
Is the "busiest" little fellow that has
visited America in many moons. His
powers of endurance were simply hair
raising.
ie has the Terry McGovern locomo
tive speed, minus the jaw cracking heft
to his fists that made little Terry loom
up bigger than the New York . sky
scraper line.
Reddy is not a star, but he has the
necessary qualifications for a good
trial horse. He is a puncher without
skill.
Tommy Houck is mentioned as the
next opponent of Ledoux. If the
foreigner cleans up on Houck he will
be ripe and considered worthy of a
match for the world's highest honors
In his class.
Ledoux carries a record as long as
the pedigree of a British grand dame.
All but three of his battles, however,
were against boys that no one ever
beard of. They are a few of the horde
of French lads who have become in
spired by the success of Georges Car
pentier and are seeking to emulate
him. Ledoux has fifty-four knockouts
to his credit.
The championship aspirations of big
Al Palzer received a severe jolt when
he lost to Tony Ross in Philadelphia
recently. Ross is the roly poly heavy
weight who acted as a punching bag
for Joe Jeanette in New York a short
time ago. Palzer was not in the best
of shape, but Ross was not trained
any too fine either.
Palzer's record since he first attract
ed attention now stands at five vic
tories and three losses, not counting
the heavyweight tournament, where he
was credited with winning.
Compared with the performances of
some of his rivals this showing Is not
very Impressive and evidently it be-,
hooves the Iowa farmer to bestir him
self if he wishes to remain at the toy
of the heap. Even in his winning
bouts Palzer has been forced to accept
a great deal of punishment. There
were times In practically all his bouts
when he looked to be a loser, particu
larly in that with Wells and the bout
with Kennedy in which he scored a
knockout. Soldier Delaney knocked
him down, and Sailor, White landed at
will until he finally succumbed to Pal
zer's great strength. However, Palzer
has never yet been knocked out, thanks
to his great recuperative powers.
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A.NYE
THE PIONEERS.
1 remember lighting fires; I remember
sitting by em.
1 remember seeing faces. Hearing voices
through the smoke:
1 remember they were fancy, for 1 threw
a stone to try 'em.
"Something lost beyond the ranges" was
the only word they spoke
Seeing faces and bearing voices
through the smoke of camprires were a
part of the glamour of the romance of
the early pioneering of America.
Hard and stern were the lives of the
pathfinders, but through all the hard
ships and deprivation was" the spirit
of high adventure and poetic fancy.
The hope of advancement, of the ac
quiretuent of free lands, of the making
of homes these were the motives that
moved the men and women who took
the trails.
But beyond material prosperity
There was the lure of "something
lost beyond the ranges." the quest for
something new.
Slowly crept the covered wagons
along river beds and over mountain
passes, slow and solitary beyond the
Appalachians. The campflres moved
faster over the prairies, then beyond
the Mississippi, until came the rush to
EI Dorado, with its promise of gold
and allurement of adventure. From
"where rolls the Oregon" the tide re
turned, and the frontiers were gone.
Are there then uo more pioneers?
Has the restless, hardy spirit of
American life, bred In the bone and
blood of many generations, been
tamed?
Does this persistent force still hold?
If so. how to use it?
Surely there is abundant call for ah
the courage and fortitude and initia
tive that distinguished the fathers.
And if one can tind it there is even
in our times the charm of risk and of
adventure, because there are foes in
our social life mort? deadly than the
painted savages.
Bnt-
How shall we fire the fancy of our
youth to see the faces and hear the
voices? How make them see that
"something lost beyond the ranges?"
If:
If we are able to touch the imagina
tion of our sons aud daughters and
make them see the need for chivalric
effort we shall set In motion the deter
mined strength and the love of danger
that pioneered and peopled a continent.
A Call to Arms.
Bang went the rifles at the maneu
vers.
"Oo-oo!" screamed tbe pretty girl
a nice, decorous, surprised little scream.
She stepped backward Into the sur
prised arms of a young man. "Oh."
said she. blushing. "1 was frightened
by the rttles I beg your pardon."
"Not at all." said the young man.
",et's go over and watcd the artillery."-

A Bird That Shaves.
The bonmot. a South American bird,
takes a dry shave regularly. The bon
mot has long blue tail feathers. Each
quill is adorned from base to tip with
soft blue down. This arrangement the
bird dislikes. Therefore with its sharp
beak It nips the quills bare from the
base out to about an Inch from the tip,
where it maintains a neat oval of soft
blue whisker. Such action seems silly
oh the boumot's part to certain philos
ophers, though It seems no sillier than
man's action in regularly scraping bare
his cheeks and chin while he main
tains on bis upper lip an oval of soft
hair not unlike the bonmot's tail oval.

FORUM OFTflE PEOPLE
CHURCH WORK EXPLAINED.
OREGON CITY, Or., Dec. 11. (Edi
tor of the Enterprise.)-'Martha", in
this morning's paper Is "troubled and
anxious about many things" as of
old, but not about half as many as en
gage the attention of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America comprising thirty two denom
inations meeting in Chicago this week.
This great body meeting for the third
time and representing the unity and
the purpose of the Protestant church
es of America reaffirms with cheers
its adherence to the following plat
form most of which was adopted as
the working faith of the churches four
years ago:
"Equal rights and complete justice
for, all men in all stations of life. -
"Protection of the family by the sin
gle standard of purity, uniform di
vorce laws, proper regulation of mar
riage and proper housing. '
. "For the fullest possible develop
ment for every child, especially by the
provision of proper education and rec
reation. "Abolition of child labor.
"Such regulation of the conditions
of toil for women as shall safeguard
the physical and moral health of the
community.
"Abatement and prevention of pov
erty. "Protection of the individual and'
society from the social, economic and
moral waste of the liquor traffic.
"Protection of the worker from dan
gerous machinery, occupational dis
eases and mortality.-
"Protection of the right of all men
to the opportunity of .self-maintenance,
safeguarding this right against
encroachments of every kind, and for
the protection of workers from tile
hardships of enforced unemployment.
"Suitable provision for the old age
of workers and for those incapacitat
ed by injury.
"The principle of conciliation and
arbitration in industrial disputes.
"Release from employment one day
in seven. -
"Gradual and reasonable reduction
of the hours of labor to the lowest
practical point, and for that decree of
leisure for all which is a condition of
the hightst human life.
"Living wage as a minimum in ev
ery industry, and for the highest wage
that each industry can afford.
"The most equitable division of the
product of industry that can ultimate
ly be devised.
It is along these lines that the
churches of Oregon City have been
quietly working for the last two
months to organize a local federation
of churches to express our common
faith by our works a constitution
approved by the men of seven church
es at the Sheldon dinner awaits only
the consent of one more church to go
into operation representatives to the
local council chosen by six of the
churches have already met informally
and as soon as some details of organ
ization are settled the council will be
ready for business.
If this good church woman were in
close touch with the spirit and activ
ities of her church I think she would
find that it was composed of neither
fanatics nor bigots but of men and
women patiently studying the needs
of the new day.
The need and the desire for united
action among the churches for the
good of the community has never been
so apparent. The present federation
in Oregon City is projected net only
to "foster religious movements but
also to promote the spirit of comity
and cooperation among all our church
es, to advance the charities of the
community, to safeguard the welfare
of children, to encourage the feeling
of mutual helpfullness- "among all
parts of society, to protect the inter
ests of tne Sabbath, temperance, good
citizenship and social purity and se
cure other objects pertaining to local
betterment.
While not intended to involve the
churches in political strife, the Feder
ation is designed to express the sub
stantia unity of Protestant people
and their practical interest in the
moral conditions of the community.
We recognize the truth of the ob
servation just made by Rev. Walter
Rauschenbusch of Rochester, N. Y.,
at the Chicago Council: "When polit
ical parties and great corporations
themselves have taken up social ser
vice problems, it is high time for the
churches to do so.
"Ours is a great wasting ' govern
ment. We have wasted our forests,
our water rights, our lands, our child
life and our motherhood, but the
greatest of all has been the waste of
religious enthusiasm due "to denomi
national strife. As sectarianism de
clines the spirit of social service will
ascend."
GEO. NELSON EDWARDS.
his word that it is harmless. You
are advised to boil it, but not for the
purpose of purifying it. Perish- the
thought! Can you "Paint the lily?'
You boil it because the physical exer
cise Involved in the process' is one of
the best preventatives of typhoid
known. Why then all this talk about
the needless task of bringing water
from Bull Run? We are so much bet
ter off already than our neighbors,
and beside it might cost something.
They used to say, Mr. Editor, that
if anyone did a mischief in the com
munity you should blame the Irish.
They deserved it anyway. Probably
the colon bacillus has been made a
scapegoat for tne same reason. We
have heard much of his presence
among us. But works on Bacteriology
say that not he, but his cousin, the
bacillus typhosus, or Eberth's Bacillus,
is the cause of typhoid. Why this
splutter about the colon variety, and
profound silence regarding his Eber
thian relative? We are always taught!
that water, or some other medium of
conduction, was necessary in order
to convey them to the victim. If they
can be produced by. spontaneous gen
eration we ought to know it, other
wise some of us may still be guilty of
the injustice of blaming our sparkling,
limpid, thirst-refreshing fluid, even
though Mr. Howell does vouch for its
purity.
W. T. MILLIKEN.
CORRECTION.
W. W. Myers, in a letter on Social
ism in this department a few days
ago, wrote 'It would seem from the
reading of this that Marx is not op
posed to Christianity but seriou'sly
objects to churchanlty." The types
made the last word Christianity.
Origin of Croquet;
The origin of croquet is certainly in
volved in mystery. Some authorities
are of the opiuion that it is founded on
the old game of "pale Inaille." or pell
mell, from which we have the street
Pall Mall. This is described by Cot
grave in his dictionary as "a game
wherein a round box bowle Is with a
mallet struck through a high arch of
yron." and a picture of this In Strutt's
"Sports and Pastimes" shows that
these had a strong reymblance to the
croquet implements of today.
Odd Proposal of Marriage.
That celebrated paiuter of flower
and figure subjects, William Hunt, was
on one occasion commissioned by a
gentleman to paint his portrait in the
attitude of kneeling and holding in his
hand an open scroll whereon were
written a declaration of love and an
offer of marriage. The lady to whom
this unusual proposal of marriage was
sent replied with a chalk drawing of
herself with a sheet of paper In her
hand, on which was inscribed a laconic
"Yes."
HOW ONE
WOMAN WON
. . !
Her Health and Strength Bart
Again by The Use of Cardui.
Tampa, Fla. In a letter from thla
city, Mrs. E. C. Corum writes: "I was
all weakened and worn out with wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as a tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, hut,
thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soonv I
felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for I have
received great benefit from it."
Cardui acts specifically' on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.'
It helps to refresh the worn-out ner
vous system and relieves the effects of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years' successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely 'vege
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves in many different ways.

NATIONAL AUTHORS' INSTITUTE
1543 Broadway NEW YORK CITY
APOLOGIZES TO RIVER
OREGON CITY, Dec. 11. Editor of
the Enterprise.) Allow me to apolo
gize to the beautiful Willamette River
through the columns of your estimable
paper, for having recently spoken of
it as an "eel-infested sewer." The
superintendent of our water works,
with no other possible motive than
such as would arise from a sincere
heart of benovelence, is "Confident
that the water is pure." To show his
disinterestedness he invites everyone
to be present at the cleaning of the
reservoir, there to lie in wait for
malevolent bacilli. Let everyone arm
himself with a club, and if one of the
pests shows itsv head I am sure you
will have official permission to swat
his brains out. If you can see no ty
phoid bacilli there you may go home
and rest in peace, knowing that all
is well. Anyone of any intelligence
knows that you cannot find a filter
fine enough to remove all such organ
isms. Knowing this, and being unable
to see them with the naked eye in
the reservoir while it is being cleaned,
the only conclusion remaining is that
the Willamette water must be pure,
and sweet and wholesome. We should
be thankful to the all-wise guardian
of our water system that, (to quote
again) "Oregon City water is much
purer than that of many other cities
in the state." True, some colon bacil
li have been found in the pipes on the
hill, but they constitute a perfectly
nutricious diet, and should be taken
in large quantities three times a day
presumedly before meals. The
sewage of Canemah, and of a dozen
or so more towns and cities up the
river, Is perfectly healthful especial-'
ly when filtered. We have every reas
on to be thankful that we are blessed
above our fellows in having such, wat
er. The sixty or seventy odd persons
who have contracted typhoid must
have done so through natural perver
sity,' and cannot blame the city water.
The superintendent is better acquaint
ed with its disposition and habits
than anyone else, and he has given
