WOMAN AND o S ubuioa ixed b
HER VOTE nBJOdm! As.oq isjnf
play in our local and
national politics, is yet to be demon
trated, but that it is destined to work
out for the ultimate benefit of society
is not to be doubted. There are so
many questions and problems that
touch the woman in her God-given
capacity of mother, problems that in
the very nature of things the ruder
mind of man is apt to pass over as
of less consequence than the all-important
questions of taxation for ex
amplethat all clear thinking men
welcome the women to the ranks of
the enfranchised.
MARTHA'S A letter printed in the
LETTER Morning Enterprise re
cently, signed Martha,
sounded a note which the Enterprise
hopes the momen of the city will heed.
There is need and work for every
woman 'oter of the city, not because
she-belongs to this or that church,
btft because she is a co-partner with
man in the government. Undoubted
ly, she, like the male voter, is all the
better citizen on the whole for her
ehurch affiliations, and society owes
a tremendous debt ' to the churches
for their practical work in social and
civil betterment. But the point that
"Martha" made was that there were
many estimable women who did not
belong to the churches, or to any of
our excellent women's clubs, and un
doubtedly there are. Civic affairs are
not directly the responsibility of
churches as churches, but of the in
dividual as a responsible unit of so
ciety. The women voters should or
ganize. A TIP FROM Eggs were selling
PHILADELPHIA at from fifty to
sixty cents a doz

and well-to-do felt it. But unlike the

American Public
School Is a
Success
By Dr. P. P. CLAXTON,
Bureau of
HE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL IS A SUCCESS. MORE HAS
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY BY
THE COMMON SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTRY THAN HAS
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY ANY OTHER AGENCY IN THE
SAME TIME AT ANY PERIOD OF MODERN HISTORY.
It is an interesting fact that those who have harsh criticism for
the public schools usually make their attacks from one of two angles
either that the common school of today is TRYING TO TEACH
TOO MUCH OR THAT IT IS TEACHING TOO LITTLE. That
much which is taught today was not considered necessary in the
schools of a generation or two ago is true, but we must remember that
social and industrial conditions have grown more complex during this
.period, and there is much useful work outside pf the fundamental
three R's which a child must be taught in the school if he is to learn
the work at all.
Parents are today DEPENDING MORE AND MORE ON
THE SCHOOL to give the -child much of the training formerly
'taught in the home, and to my mind the schools do well in trying to
meet these new responsibilities.

WEINHARD BUDDING.
neighboring city of New York, they did
not submit to it. The women of the
town, regardless of any other fact or
bond than that of their common
housewifely resQonsibility, got togeth
er and resolved to do things. They
opened up several hundred stations,
bought eggs by the millions direct
from the producer, and retailed them
at 24 cents a dozen, making a profit
that paid the expenses of retailing.
The result is that storekeepers are
retailing eggs at the same price. One
disappointed bandit labeled his eggs
"Suffragette Eggs". The plan is to
extend their operations to include
other common necessities of life.
Good for the women.
THE PROBLEM Duping the past
OF THE GIRL twelve months we
, have had several
cases of immorality in which girls
barely in their teens have figured,
one of them ending fatally. Of cpurse
human nature is human nature, and
in its elementals, not very much differ
ent now than it was in the very be
ginning; but in these days of larger
personal liberty and social freedom,
combined with almost criminal par
ental carelessness, it is to be feared
that only a few Qf the many cases of
moral dereliction ever reach the pub
licity stage. It is natural for us to
hide our dirty linen, but it is not al
ways the best for society.
Who has not noticed the number
of girls, many of them under fifteen
years of age, and none or them very
much older, with the manners and
tricks of case hardened chorus girls,
that infest our streets these days,
some of them apparently belonging
to our own city. Painted faces, free
manners, and raiment patterned after
the mature woman, they invite the at
tention of boys no- better than them
selves, and who are equally as fre
from the restraints of home or. relig
ion. Nor are these girjs in, every in
stance bad girls. That is one of the
difficulties of the problem. Most of
them are merely ignorant, lacking in
refinement, and in the elements of
good taste. They don't realize the
impression they give, and apparently
the devil is left to reap the benefits.
This is but one of the many things
our women voters might turn their
attention to.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
WHO IS TO PAY. .
OREGON CITY, Dec. 13. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) The question of
who is to pay the doctors, nurses,
and undertakers, the heavy expense
caused by typhoid, is being widely
discussed. It is the opinion of many
people that the city ought to pay these
heavy expenses, which drain the av
erage family of their last dollar.
This epidemic is an annual occur
ance, the heavy fall rains flush the
sewers, and Wash the landscape of
towns above. If we are to continue
to drink filtered sewage, by all means
let us build a hospital and otherwise
provide for the victims.
Does anyone know about germ dis
eases other than typhoid? There may
De otners that develop slowly into
chronic disease.

v. W. MYTRS REPLIES.
OREGON CITY, Dec. J.6. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) I am sorry that
it becomes necessary for me to make
an explanation or answer to Mr. Mil
liken's confession to Mr. Johnston,
that he was right in regard to Chris
tianity and Socialism. My advice to
youj and Mr. Johuston is to come out
and hear accredited Socialistic speak
ers, not I. W. W; organizers. Let me
ask Mr. Johnston why he did not take
a hike to get you: to come to Mr.
Snow's meeting ,at Willamette Hall
on December 2, when you could have
heard someone in authority to speak
on Socialism. The I. W. W. s believe
in disect action or the general strike.
The Socialists believe in the ballot
and the law. If you will read the
proceedings of the National Socialist
convention you will find that we de
clared against direct action or Sabo
taa. The national and state organ
izers and lecturers would soon be call
ed off if they made radical attacks
on the church or religion. While some
local might employ lecturers, whc
would or could do so, we would not
have jurisdiction over the local lec
ture. We are not responsible in the
least for what an I. W. W .says, how
ever, he may claim he is a Socialist.
Let me ask you) a question. Does the
church hold itself responsible for
what its individual members do or
say? Let it be understood I am not
opposed to the I. W. W. or any other
union organization. If I should join
any union it would be the I. W. W.
Their tactics I disagree with but the
basis of organization is good. Craft
unionism will never work. .Industrial
unionism will work, if managed right,
hence the hatred handed out by the
capital- class has been taking direct
action against the I. W. W. but deny
them the .same right. Free speech,
free press, right of assemblage, tujn
the water on them, drive them into
the sea, etc. But you must not give
my boys fever germs. If you do there
will be direct action at once. I will
say again the Socialists axe not op
posed to Christianity, but are oppesed
to some kinds of Churchanity.
W. W. MYERS. .
DR. SCHULTZE DEFENDS LETTER.
OREGON CITY, Dec. 16. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) The editor is mis
taken in his statement in this morn
ing's Enterprise that the undersigned
had "missed the point of the story."
The writer . feels profoundly that
raising quiestions about other public
utilities at the present threatening
emergency will only loud the essen
tial point at issue, the contamination
of our water supply which is now
menacing the lives of so many of our
citizens. Let it be repeated again
and again most emphatically that
this question has nothing whatever
to do with our own sewage or plumb
ing, not even as "contributing causes"
as the editor seems to think. Typhoid
fever is produced by neither a gas,
a vapor, nor smell,, but solely by the
bacillus so frequently mentioned dur
ing this discussion, found in. water
contaminated by sewage from places
above the point from which it is
pumped. Our own sewage, of coursd.
passes into the river below that
point. In this connection it may be
of interest to note that said bacillus
is about the twenty-five thousandth
part of an inch long, and half that
wide, and no filter ever constructed
wnich allows the smallest "i-on'' of
water to pass through can arrest its
progress.
The prophylaxis consists in secur
ing good water supply not contam
inated by sewage, and the avoidance
of uncocked food that has been ex
posed to such infection oysters, raw
vegetables, fruit, etc.
The Willamette River is nothing
but a huge open sewer, contaminated
by the flushing of hundreds of toilet
rooms in a dozen towns above. Until
Oregon City ceases to draw its water
supply from such a soujrce, it will be
exposed to such epidemics, of greater
nruleht mayhap. Let every energy
be bent now to obtain such a boon.
After that there will be abundant op
portunity to attend to our plumbing
and disposal of sewage. The first de
sideratum at this juncture is a pure
water supply. As the editor remarks
"typhoid can break out in a palace as
well as in a hovel," in fact it Is more
apt to do so as the hovel frequently
has its own well, while the palace, in
spite of its elaborate plumbing, is at
the mercy of a r seemingly bright
sparkling supply of water from some
contaminated source. Back in the
sixties the then Prince of Wales, liv
in in Sandrigham Palace, afterwards

Cruiser Tennessee Just Before

' Photos copyright. 1912, by American Press Association
THESE scenes show the hustle and bustle at the Philadelphia navy yard
Just before the armored cruiser Tennessee sailed for Constantinople
to protect American interests. At the top the sailors are loading the
cruiser with extra provisions. 5.000 barrels of tlour and 15.0M bushels
Of potatoes being stowed away for the ust of possible refugees At the bottom
tbe ship is just about to sail, carrying ?uo sailors and a company of marines.
King Edward Seventh, nearly lost his
life on that account. "The cleanest
of housekeepers" whose nose would
instantly detect any defect in the
sewer pipes, "may easily overlook,"
and in fact does overlook, the "hid
den source of danger" in the clear
filtered water supplied by the Oregon
City-- Water Works. Our wonderful
filtering plant "does not scare the
dread microbe" a little bit. He pass-
es through it merrily and hies his'
way to "the big house on the hill ' or
the little huts in the valley.
"Mill Worker's" question is easily
answered. Damags suits are contin
ually brought against municipalities
for injuries received from defective
sidewalks and many other causes. It
does not need a Philadelphia lawyer
to decide that in such a case as out
lined by "Mill Worker" the municipal
ity distributing contaminated water
would undoubtedly be liable for loss
of time, wages, doctor's bills, and even
death.
In 1895 the writer spent several
weeks in Duluth, Minnesota, summon
ed there by the dangerous illness of
a son, from typhoid fever. He found
a virulent type of that disease prevail
ing, the deaths averaging ten daily in
a community numbering at that time
aoout fifty thousand. As usual the
infection was traced to the water
supply furnished by a private com
pany from a presumably immaculate
source, Lake Superior. A committee
of the citizens visited the company's
premises and demanded a thorough
examination of the works which was
refused. Taking the law into their
own hands, they forced their way in
and found the intake pipe in the lake
within sixty feet of a sewer outlet,
and the well from which the water
was pumped, full of dead fish and
other filth. Such was the. indignation
aroused that the directors of the com
pany fled the city to escape lynching
and the suits for .damages that follow
ed ruined the company. Of these facts
1 t the municipality of Oregon City
"tage due notice and govern itself ac
cordingly. Look to the mountains in'
-e east."

SAFE REMEDY ENDS
GIVES INSTANT RELIEF, CURES
' AND PREVENTS CATARRH
AND COLD IN THE
HEAD
The quickest, best and safest way
to cure catarrh or a cold in the head
is using a remedy that will "touch
the spot" and do its work quickly
without leaving any bad effects. Ely's
Cream Balm, which is applied to the
Deadly Than The
"-fi j ?imnnnniiMra'ii-"v
nostrils or rubbed on the throat or
chest gets right at the root of the tro
uble and instantly relieves even the
worst case of catarrh or cold. A few
minutes after applied you 'can feel a
loosening up in the head, the pain and
soreness are gone, the sense of taste,
smell and hearing come back, and you
feel like a different person.
Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, heals
and strengthens the inflamed mem
branes, takes away that stuffed up
feeling and dull pain in the head, re
lieves the throat soreness and stops
the nasty discharge which is the cause
of the disgusting hawking, spitting,
blowing of the nose, and foul breath.
Hay fever victims who are made mis
erable by fits of sneezing, coughing
and wheezing get instant and perman
ent relief by the use of this simple
remedy.
Don't suffer another minute. Ely's
Cream Balm will relieve you immedi
ately', and a 50 cent bottle will more
than likely work a complete cure: All
druggists Bell it.
