presents for wives, families and i
friends, let us not forget the many
people round about us, not so fortu
nate as ourselves. Reserve a portion
of your spending money, for you will
have many good opprtunities to use
it to rich advantage. Then when you
have done that, take a few minutes
to ask yourself why it should be nec
essary for you to give of your hard
earned money to another. Try to
figure out just what the conditions j
are that have caused it, and don't fear

to look your conclusions in the face.

fers to devote a day showing a repre
sentative of this paper all over town,
pointing out conditions urgently call
ing for remedy. The valued communi
cation of Dr. Schultze in our yester
' day's issue shows that the doctor miss
ed the point of the story. The article
in question did not argue that the in
stances therein given had caussed the
present sickness, but that they were
undoubtedly wrong conditions, and
might easily be a contributing cause.
Typhoid can break out in a palace as
well as a hovel, and the cleanest of
housekeepers, may easily overlook
some hidden source of danger. The
fact that one lives in a big house on
the hill does not scare the dread mi
crobe, or even guarantee the plumb
ing, or the sewer connections. In any
event, it is well to clean house while
we are about it, and the time is pecul
iarly ripe for a thorough ovei hauling
of our sewer system, as well as the
water system.
There is in New York
City an organization
known as The New
DRINK AND
POVERTY
York Association for Improving tme
Condition of the Poor. It is amply sup
ported by the rich and well to do ; is ex
ceedingly well managed, and has made
a brilliant success. Not even city,
state, or federal government resources
could obtain the same accurate statis
tics regarding the condition of the
poor as does this great organization.
Reading through its report recently
issued, one is driven to the conclus
ion that underneath all the many caus
es of poverty, lies the old sin of greed.
Might overcoming right, and plunder
ing the weak and defenseless.
Yet we have been so long accustom
ed to hearing strong drink given as
the one big cause of poverty and
crime, that it comes very much as a
surprise to learn that in the survey
Covering 6730 dependent families,
only six per cent of the poverty
could be attributed to drink. Forty
per cent was due to sickness, and thir
ty seven per cent to unemployment.
The report dwells on the criminal
tact that the poor are mulched in
33 1-4 per cent of their earnings for
' a roof to cover them. Nor do they
get a decent return for it. The east
side slums of New York, as well as

bad as those in the notorious east end

THE MOTHER
dinary war in Europe
has one fascination
OF EUROPE
at least that the most ardent lover of
peace will not deny. Greece, the most
illustrious of all the ancient nations,
unlike her allies in the campaign is
fighting for something more than ter
ritorial expansion. Hers is a struggle
for unity, complete independence, and
a larger spiritual life. Every lover of
history will pray that the coming con
ference in London will not result in
sending her back to her little
peninsula, and thus rob her of a big
opportunity to get back some of her
ancient greatness. Let us hope that
Crete as well as Macedonia may fall
to uer share.'
First among the Aryan peoples of
Europe, the Greeks turned their minds
to the things which go to the making
of civilization; philosophy, science,
social order, and a political constitu
tion. Ali that Rome was, Greece has
a:aJe possible. The art of Rome was
tna,t of Greece, as also her time defy
ing architecture. Her thinkers and
teachers followed after the Greeks.
Cicero, visiting Athens, and marching
as an acolyte in the sacred procession
to Eleusis, boasting of it as the proud
est day of his life, is a scrap of his
tory familiar to most school boys.
Europe, deep in the gloom of the
dark ages, was only rescued by the
re-discovery, of what Greece had
thought and done. Yet this mother of
the nations, instead of living in the
past, meets her great opportunity,
girds on the sword and triumphantly
goes forth to conquer her ancient ene
my. Her sons have always kept alive
the memory, of her gloriou's past, and
it has proved an all sufficing inspira
tion for the present.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
WHO CAN ANSWER?
OREGON CITY, Dec. 13 (Editor
of the Enterprise). There is so much
talk going round town about typhoid
fever tnat many of us water users are
scared stiff.
Wfcos going to pay my. doctor bills
if any of my family get the fever?
Does the fact that I payfor my water
each month give me a comeback if
I have to lay off from my work? I
want to know.

OREGON CITY, Dec. 13. (Editor

who acknowledges his error when he
is mistaken. Since hearing part, and
hearing the other part, of the blas
pnenious parody upon a salvation
army meetjing executed 'by the So
cialist group who held forth on oul
streets last night, I acknowledge that
Mr. Johnston is right and I am wrong
in my view of Christianity and So
cialism. That is. if that is a fair sam
ple of Socialism. Blasphemous paro
dies upon sacred hymns, and bitter
attacks upon things all true men and
women hold sacred may appeal to
the unthinking, but must drive into
active opposition all who hold high
ideals of loyalty and morality. I will
still say there are some spendid Chris
tian men among Sociaists, but if to
night's performance is a fair sample
of their propaganda, they are in
mighty had company. My friend, Mr.
Johnston, has the best of the argu
ment, given such by the Socialists
themselves.

DOCTOR MAKES CORRECTION.
OREGON CITY, Dec. 13. (Editor
of the Enterprise). The types are
famous for getting in their "funny
work at the most critical points.
In this morning's "Enterprise" the
undersigned is credited with the ab
surd statement that typhoid fever is
caused by "indigestion of water or
food infected with Eberth's Bacillus
typhosus etc."
The copy read "ingestion of water
or food" which simply means swal
lowing into the stomach and makes
sense out of nonsense!

the touching sentiment:
"Let me kiss you lender the silent

URGES WATER CHANGE.
OREGON CITY, Dec. 13. (Editor
of the Enterprise). It seems that it
is incumbent upon someone to urge
upon the good people of our
city, the responsibilities that at pres
ent confront them relative to the re
juvenation of our present system of
obtaining water.
Situated as we are, in the heart of
the most thriving district on the
coast, would it not be well to deter
mine now, the best method of abol
ishing the periodical visitation of
typhoid that at present is with us?
The protestations of the officials
comprising our water board, are of
little avail, and are certainly not in
tended to assuage the anguish of
those who have suffered, and are at
present bowed" in grief as the result,
mayhap, of someone's derelection.
Would it not be better to look facts
in the lace and strive for better
things?
Admitting the fact that the present
epidemic was impossible to prevent,
why quibble in regard to the future?
Has it not been demonstrated to us
by the analysis of experts, that our
drinking water is infected? Away
with the false sense of civic pride
tnat would hush this matter up.
Let us good folk, who have tne wel
fare of the town at heart, rally around
tae standard of "Pure Water" and
fight until they receive it. We are
bountifully supplied by nature with
an inexhaustible stream of mountain
water at our threshold, and through
the near vision of someone we tap a
a sewer. The plan proposed to con
nect with Vortland's supply is wormy
but impractical. Portland and its eib
vironments will regard any encroach
ments upon the for famed tsull Run
jealously.
the source of Portland's supply is
now as large at it ever will ue, the
supply in years to come will hardly
equal the demand. This is a question
in civic economics the present board
of water commissioners in rortland
will not overlook, of tnat we may be
asbuled from the start.
Let us tnen look nearer home, the
Clackamas beckons and invites us
from its crystal depths to partake of
its life giving fluid, the supply is un
limited, its swiftness and spurce in
sures us against pollution.
A properly situatea station should
place us in a situation second only
to Portland.
Lethargy and pinch-penny methods
im(3t be abandoned, a decisive step
must be taken nere and now.
Aside iioni the inestimable benefits
accruing lrom a supply of pure water,
om ddty as humanitarians should
oiiipel us to act.
Tue biighting finger of death has
recently removed from amongst us a
young woman standing upon the door
stop of life, and where but yesterday,
I, as a stranger, received a cheery
early morning greeting, today, the
step has gone forever trom the street,
and the light of the eye darkened.
In the Blessed Isles may her soul
find sweet commmunion with others
or ner kind, through the long sunny
djy of a blissful eternity.
iow know you, neighbor, when
tjose near and dear to you may be
called?
