has gone into the limbo of the past,
but still the question of the right of
society to execute its murderers is
hotly debated. Whether one agrees

litically, it is not possible to deny him
full sympathy for the predicament he
was in. Men of Robert's stamp will
never be borji, and hanging will be
a thing of the past, once we begin to

. These conditions have not resulted from the applica
tion of political policies or efforts, but exist in spite of them. They
are here because NOTHING COULD PREVENT THEM.
In the first place, for the last few years, following the bankers'
panic of 1907, there have existed a feeling of uncertainty and a lack
of confidence which have deterred the great purchasing public, from
entering the market, even to the extent of supplying their necessities.
When, therefore, the railroad companies and others similarly sit
uated commenced to buy the general influence and effect were imme
diately felt, and buying on a large scale has developed.
Moreover, the bountiful crops and sound basic conditions of the
country have made every one realize more clearly than ever before that
PROSPERITY IN THIS SPLENDID COUNTRY OF OURS IS
TO BE THE RULE AND NOT THE EXCEPTION.

presumably otyr new congress will
settle it one way or the other. Mr.
De Forrest, of the New York delega
tion, wants to give former presidents
$2000 a month; a former president's
widow, a thousand dollars a month
j while unmarried, and to the orphans
I of former presidents under twenty-
one years of age $200 a month. Public
j opinion, however, is a long way from
j being unanimous as to the need of a
pension. As matters now stand,
j Uncle Sam is pretty generous. Over
! and above his salary, the president
has $25,000 a year to spend in travel;
a beautiful home, servants galore,
automobiles, horses, a warship for a
i yacht, all paid for by the people.
He can live in the greatest luxury

year, and then go ou,t of office with

associations that have resolved to
refuse to marry people, unless equip
ped with a health certificate showing
that such persons are fit people to
marry. It is not likely that these
clergymen unaided by the ciyil law
will accomplish much, nevertheless
they have the satisfaction of knowing
that they are pioneers in a magnifi

To be born physically is the right of

nately, we are still in bondage to
that false idea of modesty which com
pels some people to say 'limbs' when
they mean 'legs' ; . and which keeps
the rising generation in more or less
ignorance regarding the big facts ot
life. Whether the sChool teacher, or
the parents should impart this most
necessary knowledge, is an open ques
tion, but there can be no doubt about
the duty. How many unhappy mar
riages could have been avoided; how
many divorces; how many crippled
and deficient children, had public
opinion permitted young folks to be
taught sex truths. We have so far
advanced however, that how several

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
NEW WATER SUPPLY SUGGESTED
OREGON CITY, Dec. fl. (Editor
of the Enterprise). There seems to
be a strong and growing sentiment in
favor of a change in our source of
water supply which I heartily indorse.
Near my boyhood home city of James
town, N. Y., is the little village of
Levant, where there bubbled and
gushed a pure cold stream of water
that came 'from a driven well more
than 100 feet deep and which was
used for a public watering trough and
supply for one or two dwellings. The
city at that time was struggling with
the water supply question, trying to
pipe it from a crib in Chautauqua
lake aboui three miles away. It prov
ed to be an expensive and very unsat
isfactory undertaking. Someone no
ticed . the little flowing well down at
Levant. A twelve inch test well was
put down and- the water came up,
gushing over the edges of the pipe.
Others were driven until now there
are at least a dozen and that city of
Jamestown, N. Y., with a population
of about 25,000, has a water supply
that is not surpassed by the Bull Run
system because the water comes from
a bed of gravel 112 feet under the sur
face, and, unlike the Clackamas or
Bull Run supply,' is safe from con
tamination for all time.
Does anyone know of a flowing
well of good water near Oregon City?
If so, I would suggest the driving of
a test well ,as Jamestown did. We
could turn our water power into elec
tricity and send it to any place where
such a supply could be found and per
haps have some cuj-rent to sell after
using what would be necessary for
pumping.

BOY SCOUTS MAKE
BIG HIT WITH PLAY
Many were the words of commenda
tion for the Boy Scouts who so ably
presented the comedy, "Pyramus and
Thisbe," from Shakespeare's "Mid
summerNight's Dream," at Shiveley's
Opera House Friday evening. Under
the skilled coaching of Mrs. Theodore
Clark the boys surprised their best
friends, especially those who took the
ladies' parts. The little boy fairies
could not be told from girls ,and Tad
Miller, as Titania, their beautiful
queen, would have passed muster as
a belle anywhere. Shelby Shaver
made a very charming Thisbe, and
died quite naturally upon discovering
the death of her Pyramus, - George
Tucker. Everett Dye carried his part
handsomely, as also did Will Bagby,
as Puck, the Mischief-Maker. In fact
pveryone deserves praise. The Athen
ian costumes were made by the Ladies
Aid Society of the Congregational
Church. ' Musical numbers by the
High School Orchestra, assisted by
Verne Roake, and violin solos by Pro
fessor Flechtner, accompanied by
Miss Louise Huntley, were highly ap
preciated. Rev. George Nelson Ed
wards has presented this play several
times before.
The cast of characters was as fol
lows: :
"Hard-handed men that work" Bot
torn, the Weaver, George Tucker;
Quince, the Carpenter, Everett Dye;
Flute, the Bellows Mender, Shelby
Shaver; Snout, the Tinker, Wendell

Every merchant and manufacturer,

his volume of profitable- trade. He
(1st) wishes to increase his number
of Profitable Customer1 and (2) to
make Them Profitable.
Here is how I would suggest:
(1st) He should advertise in the
mediums he knows will reaeh the
class of purchasers who ueed and can
afford his goods. He must talk to
them in a way they will Quickly Un
derstand, then Appreciate aud finally
Act upon.
2) In order to make his Customers
Permanent he m'tfjst live "up to his
Published Promises in other words,
Make Good.

TO SET NEW RECORD
(.Continued from Page 1.)
One of the most gratifying features
of thework so far was the action of
the Publicity Committee of the Ore
gon City Commercial Club Wed
nesday night when, upon their own
initiative and without any application
for support having been made by the
paper, the Committee unanimously
passed a resolution authorizing the
Secretary to contract for two pages
in the magazine and to ' purchase
1000 copies for their eastern mailing
list. Last year the Publicity Commit
tee purchased a large number of copies
of the annual and the results were so
satisfactory that they are willing to
duplicate the order this year of their
own volition and an endorsement of
this kind coming from the city's live
booster organization presages the
highest order of success for the issue.
Oldest Candy In World Is Licorice.
Must of the black licorice comesi
from Spain, where it is made from

shrub about three feet high and grows
wild where its roots can reach the
water. It grows largely on the banks
of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
As the valley of the Euphrates con
