THE WATER The Health Commit
REPORT tee of the City Coun
cil in submitting its
report to the citizens, regarding the
water supply is to be commended for
the thoroughness of its investigation.
The report has been compiled, to
quote the words of Chairman F. J.
Tooze, "That our citizens may consid
er together all these expert analyses
and judge for themselves of the caus
es now existing, and causing so much
sorrow and sacrifice."
PACIFIC The value of the Pacific
HIGHWAY Highway to the people
of the Pacific Coast is
scarcely appreciated sufficiently. And
especially is this true of our own val
ley. Automobile toulring has become
so common, as no longer to excite
comment, and eastern visitors mo
toring from British Columbia to
Southern California may be counted
by the hundreds in the course of a
year. Surely it is to the advantage
of our entire state to see that our
part of the proposed highway is such
as to attract the attention o tourists.
Experience has proved that good
roads do more for a community than
any other single factor, and it is a
certainty that this highway would lead
to the improvement and gradual Up
building of all other roads leading to
it.
The Oregon City Commercial Club
is the first organization of its kind in
the valley to take up active work in
behalf of the project, and it is greatly
to be hoped that other commercial
bodies throughout the valley will fol
low up the matter. Last week the
commercial club donated a sum of
money to the cause equalling one dol
lar for every member, which gives the
club a total of forty-five votes in the
councils of the Pacific Highway Asso
ciation. Eastern Oregon is keenly alive to
the advantages of the highway even
if we are not, and is making every ef
fort to have the road built through
the eastern part of the state. Our
biggest "Good Rods Man" Samuel
Hill, of Washington, and one of the
vice presidents of the Highway, is
strongly in favor of the Eastern Ore
gon route.
ABOUT Socialism is gradually
SOCIALISM forcing itself on the at
tention of our people,
largely because of the hold it has on
certain types of mind, and in a lesser
degree because of its pretentions. It
cannot be denied that there is a com
forting ring to the word 'Socialism .
Indeed the inherent attractiveness of
the word has led many sweet souls
to call themselves socialists, and in
some instances to apply the title to
our Savior Himself. But the social
ism of such people is far from the real
thing, and is equally unacceptable to
the simon-pure socialists.
Robert Owen, of Manchester, Eng-
i land, the founder of Owens College,
now Victoria University, it believed
to have coined the word about the
j year 130, and the Owenites of Eng
j land were the first to use the terms
I 'socialist' and 'socialism' in the or
! ganization of their cooperative under
takings. In the early and middle part
of last century, the followers of Feur
ier, St. Simon and others who worked
I tor the establishment of their "Utop
ias of freedom" were also known as
socialists. But it was Karl Mazx and
Frederick Engels, in the days of '48
who inaugurated modern socialism.
At the London Congress these two
men were commissioned to prepare
for publication a complete theoretical
program tor the party. This program
was called the Manifesto of the Com
munist party, and the Communist
Manifesto as it is now more generally
known, may be said to be the basis
on which modern scientfic socialism
has built its creed.
That socialism bears no kinship
with Christianity, the merest glance
at the Manifesto will prove, for that
which has already "succumbed" to ra
tionalism has but a fancied existance
"the ignorant superstition of relig
ion" lingers only in irrational minds.
Ernest Belford Bax, in "The Ethics
of Socialism'', frankly states the so
cialist creed. "One word on that sin
gular hybrid, the 'Christian Socialist'.
The association of Christianity with
any form of socialism is a mystery,
rivalling the mysterious combination
of ethical and other contradictions in
the Christian divinity himself. "The
Italian" Avanti" calls Christianity
"The muckheap of modern thought."
Also, "The civilization of social dem
ocracy will never befoul itself with
Christianity". Dr. Averling, the for
most English intellectual socilist of
his generation; the "free-love" hus
band of Karl Marxr daughter was es
pecially bitter in repudiation of any
thing pertaining to the worship of
Christ or God, as being consistent
with socialism.
The big trouble in much of the dis
cussion between Socialism and relig
ion, is that the economic and political
aspect of socialism is all that is even
partially understood by the ordinary
thinker, and the ethical and philo
sophical sides are taken for granted.
Conditions are wrong, we all admit,
terribly wrong. Moreover, they al
ways have been wrong, and only be
cause the generations realized the
wrong has society made progress.
Conditions will continue to be wrong,
until the day of the Millenium, but
society will never cease to make pro
gress. All we ask is tht the progress
shall be rational.

YALE QUITS HOCKEY LEAGUE.
Wants More Freedom and Chance to
Play Its Game at Home.
Yale will be among the missing
when the college hockey teams beglu
their annual battles for supremacy in
the Intercollegiate Hockey league
early in 1913 in New York.
At the annual meeting of the league
held in New York recently the Bull
dog tendered his resignation. The
reason assigned was that at New
Haven, right under their noses, the
Yale men have a fine rink. In the
past it has been used mainly for prac
tice. Those interested felt that as a
free lance the Yale seven would have
a wider scope.
With Yale- out of the league only
four teams remain Columbia, Cornell.
Dartmouth and Princeton.
YOUR OWN TROUBLES.
One of the great lessons ol lite
is to learn to consume our own
smoke thai is, not to inflict on
outsiders our persona! sorrows and
petty morbidness, not to keep think
ing ot ourselves as exceptional cases.
Other peop e have troubles as well
as ourselves.
Voice of the Tiger.
The tiger may be "shod with silence,"
but he has a voice that is terrifying.
It is said the voice of the tiger, a won
derful thing in its way, is not only the
most mournful, but the most terrifying,
of jungle sounds and that it is a power
ful' aid to him in his hunting. The na
tives believe the deer hearing the ti
ger's voice and unable from the rever
berating nature of the sound to locate
the position of the enemy stands still
and so gives him the chance of stalk
ing them. Sportsmen hold there la
probably some truth in this, for unless
one is following the tiger and has seen
him it almost is impossible from the
sound alone to tell with any certainty
where he is. New York Sun.

A CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT
More than 400 citizens of Clackamas and citizens of Marion County own and are constructing the Clackamas
Southern Railway, extending from Oregon City through Maple Lane, Beaver Creek, Mulino, Liberal,Molalla, Yoderville,.
Monitor and Mt. Angel.
Sufficient subscriptions of stock have been made to complete the 'grading and bridges from Oregon City to Mt.
Angel and the rails have been provided.
The switches and crossing on P.R.L.& P.Co. and Southern Pacific Company are in, and the rails are being rapid
ly laid toward Beaver Creek four additional carloads of rails arrived on Monday.
The company is selling additional stock to lay and ballast the track and in a short time will be operating to
Beaver Creek. This is a safe investment and will bring good returns to the purchasers of stock Other roads pay big
dividends on four times the capitalization and in a less developed country. The wood, sawlogs and pilling adjacent to
this line to be hauled will make the road pay from the first year.
This stock is selling for $50.00 per share and is considered by business men as a first class investment
If each of the stockholders of this company will take just two shares of this stock it will provide sufficient funds,
in addition to the amount now provided, to lay and ballast the road to Mt. Angel,which can all be done in 1913 leaving a
quick return on the investment.
For toiler information call at the company's office, Room 17, Beaver Building, Oregon City, Oregon
