SPECIAL EDITION
IS COMING SOON
The Special
Edition pub
lished by the
Morning Enterprise last year was
such a big success, and everywhere
met with such unqualified approval,
that the Enterprise has decided to re
peat it.- A great deal has happened,
and a great deal yet remains, all of
which calls for just sifch an undertak
ing. It is doubtful if any single pub
lication ever did as much for the city
as d,id our last year's edition, and it
is the opinion of many close obser
vers that a work of that sort carries
more conviction to the outsider than
does any other form of publicity "work,
because it gives the actual facts, as
they are today. ,
seem to have come to its own. It
has been no light task, for it had its
inception, and its growth in what will
ultimately be known as the fighting
period of Oregon Railroad develop
ment. Long the private railroad pre
serve of the Southern Pacific, Oregon
has now become the prize bone of
contention between the big trans-continental
lines of the country, and it
is more than wonderful that this rel
atively little line has survived the
strife, and today stands an accom
plished fact. More than that, it is
a living testimony to what pujblic spir
ited citizens can accomplish on behalf
of their communities. .
Not very far away is the little town
of Orencoo, which twelve months ago
was little more than a settlement, as
compared with the larger cities... In
1911 it shipped out twenty carloads
of produce. But in nine months of
this year, its shipments had increas-.
'ed to 200 .carloads. The Clackamas
Southern means infinitely more to
the people and towns along its benifi-
csnt tracks. Long practically impris
oned, their products will now have
access to hungry markets, where big
prices await the shipper. The people
of Molalla, Beaver Creek and other
towns along the line had reason to
celebrate the driving of th'e golden
spike.
KNOCKING
THE CITY
After
and
trials, the Clackamas Southern would
CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN
ITS POSSIBILITIES.
If there is one thing
more than another which
hinders the development
and growth of a community, it is the
vprv mistaVfin nntinn that nnthine
must De allowed to escape to tne out
side world that 'might reflect on its
moral, physical, or sanitary condi
tions. In the east, because of this.
the -term 'booster' when used, in con
nection with a western town, is too
frequently ' regarded as synonymous
with "liar." In fact it would be just
as sensible to lie about our " water
power, which ievery wide awake man
ufacturer will investigate for himself,
as for us to hide the real facts in the
case when it comes to conditions of
living.
A few of the very best friends of
the Enterprise have taken exception
to the publicity which it has . given
to the typhoid epidemic some be
cause they believe the scare has been
over-rated, and others because they
think it does harm to the "business"
interests of the city. To all " these
friends we would say that the news
columns of the Enterprise reflect im
partially the feeling as well as the
"news" of the city. . Editorially, the
Enterprise is given over entirely to
the advancement of the city, without
regard to . the political, religious, or
financial bias. -
But the Enterprise does not believe
that the truth should, be suppressed,
or denied, particularly where human
life is involved. Nor does it believe
its harshest critic would have it do
so. It is more than possible that
many so-called cases have been
wrongly diagnosed, and that still oth
er actual typhoid cases have been
contracted from some other source
than the water; it is equally probable
that our city water will compare fay
orbly with most of the towns on the
coast. But it is equally true, that "we
have some cases of undoubted ty
phoid, and the direct testimony of our
highest state expert that ' our drink
ing, water is not what it should be.
And we have had one death. The En
terprise is the one daily paper of the
city. It owes a solemn duty to the
community at large, just as much as
to its subscribers.
MORE ABOUT
SOCIALISM
The Enterprise is in
terested in Socialism,
as it is in all xther
political and economic manifestations
of society, hence the clipping which
follows. A reference editorially to
the attitude of Socialists, toward re
ligion lari in a m.T.AcTunnn.A .v.:,u

both earned and entertained our read
ers. Probably the braniest Socialist
organizer in Canada is Moses Baritz.
The Toronto Globe is one of, Cana
da's biggest dailies. Given these two
facts we believe it will be of interest
to our readers to print his letter in
full:
"Would you .permit me, as the ac
credited organizer for the Socialist
party of Canada for the Province of
Ontario, to give a repudiation to the
statement of the Rev. Dr. Chown that
"Socialism is founded upon the teach
ings of Jesus.'' The Socialist posi
tion is founded upon science, both
socialogical and economic.
. .
As such it is opposed to all religions
which we maintain were products of
given social conditions.
With.theestablisnment of a social re
gime, Christianity, Judaism and all
supernatural ideas clinging to man
kind will be abolished:
The Socialist party of Canada is op
posed to the unscientific worship of
Christ, Euddha or Mohamet.
We no not believe in the salvation
of the church. We oppose that idea.
It is far better, to have the people to
understand this now than let the con
fusion exist or let it be disseminated
in the ralpit.
Socialists cannot believe in any
supernatural God. If they do they are
not Socialists.
The pamphlet issued by the Social
ist party of Great Britain on "Social
ism and Religion" is the only attitude
we can take up.
The church will find .in .us its unre
lenting foes. Christianity with its' su
perstitions must be submerged before
the workers obtain their complete
emancipation. That is ou slogan.
That is our challenge.
Far better let it be known now and
so avoid misconception in the future.
Finally, a Christian cannot be a
Socialist and, a Socialist cannot be a
believer in Christ or God.
