IS WILSON A When I hear judges
DEMAGOGUE? reason upon the an
alogy of the relation
ship that used to exist between work
men and their employers a genera
tion ago I wonder if they have not
opened their eyes to the modern
world. You know, we have a right
to expect that judges will have their
eyes open, even though the law which
they administer hasn t awakened.
Woodrow Wilson in World's Work.

The Democrats raised Cain from : cartons, bags, and other shipping mar
one end of the country to the other, teria-'s, together with an accurate
when the Supreme Court inserted the knowledge of mail trains, and the
word "reasonable" into their famous 1 hours of mail distribution and col
Trust verdict, claiming that the ' lection, postal charges, etc.
nationaj court of last appeal was us-. If Boss Piatt, for many years sen-
urping the powers of the legislative i
branches of the government, in that j
inserted a word to justify that mean-'
ini? in an act of the Coneress of the
United States. If the sole duty ofj
the courts is to administer the law
strictly as it stands, it is difficult to
see how judges, no matter how
thoroughly their eyes may be open,
can alter the law as it stands, even
though the law they interpret has not
itself been weakened.
The real remedy lies not with the
judges, but with the lawmakers. The
president-elect has. the reputation ot
being a student of government -ana
" economics. It is .difficult to recon
cile the accepted character of the
man, with such a statement.
OUR WATER The Enterprise has
SUPPLY no desire to be sensation
al, and least of all does
it want to do anything which might
be prejudicial to the legitimate in
terests of Oregon City. On the con
trary it wants to help as it has help"
ed, and as it will always continue to
help. But the Enterprise believes
that more harm is done to the city
wtth every case of typhoid fever,
than "can be undone with a dozen
Live Wire, or Booster organizations.
No one denies the yearly appearance
of typhoid fever. No one but a (lun
atic will deny, or refuse to believe
the unanimous reports of indepen
dent chemists who have analyzed
the water typhoid patients have been
drinking. And surely no one will
come forward and say that all our
jocal "physicians are leagued against
the city officials, and diagnose malar
ia, and kindred diseases aB typhoid

board and its employes are doing all
that is " humanly possible ' with the
water they have; but the Enterprise
also believes that the water is the
cause of our annual typhoid trouble,
and of the epidemic of this year, and
that our city is in urgent need of a
new water supply. That being so,
the only questions remaining, are
where best to get the new water?
and, how shall we go about it?
FARM HOUSE After the first of
MARKETS the year, the American
public will be enjoying
the long hoped for Parcel Post. That
it has . been sorely needed these many
years the swollen dividends of the
express companies have annually tes
tified, dividends the size of which the
companies will never see again. Ev
en now, before the post office is fair
ly on the job, express rates have been
reduced somewhat.
The post office department is lay
ing down a set of rules, based upon
postal experience, and common sense,
regulating the shipments of food
stuffs through the mails, which every
housekeeper- should become familiar
with, if the new law is to be a factor
in lowering the cost or improving the
standard of living. For example,'
eggs may be sent any distance.if en
closed in secure, wreck-proof car-.
tons; vegetables subject to decay
will be carried within certain limits;
tresh meat only within the limits or
the purchaser's zone; but cured, salt
ed, dried or smoked meats and fish
will be carried any distance.
It seems likely that the postal facil
ities will bring into being any number
of farmhouse retail markets, which
will not be the least of many far
reaching results of the new law.
Farmers' wives and daughters will
soon be shippings eggs, and other
farm produce to special customers.
All that is entailed is the buying of
ator from New York, and head of
the express trust, could know what
has happened to the companies he
i fathered, he would doubtless turn
over in his grave, to use an old but
forcible saying. ' -

bore the signature;

Soon after the man left his store Mr.
Gardner became suspicious and cabl
ed Mr. Jaggar over the telephone
Mr. Jaggar denied that he had writ
ten the check and Mr. Gardner immed
iately went in quest of the man who
had given him the slip of paper. He
was joined in the seach by William
Wilson and Dave Williams. Finally
they found McFaifland and gave
chase. The pursued man escaped
down the river bank -between Seventh
and Eighth Streets, but Policeman
Frost who had been attracted went
down the river bank after the fellow
and captured him. Matthew Justin,
who was victimized by a forger re
cently, said that the writing on the
check given Mr. Gardner was the
same as that on the worthless paper
he is carrying around as a souvenir.

Money in Poultry
Mr. Christien Mler, who owns a
five- acre poultry ranch near Oregon :
City, is a very modest man and does
not like to have his achievements men-1
tion'ed in "the papers but with all due .
respect to Mr. Mier's likes and dis- churches at a meeting Monday even
likes, the manager of "Oregon City ing at the Methodist Church elected
Pnhlicitv" will tell of one nen of whitn the following officers: President, C.
Leghorn pullets.
This poultryman keeps a very sys -
tematic account with all of his pens
nfin.vimr hens, nnd it was the account
. ' . . . . . .'
with one of these pens that interested
the Oregon City Publicity represent-.
ative on a recent visit to the Mier
Paultry ranch.
This particular pen
. . ... ... . , . . j 11. met Willi immediate aypiuvai a,iiu
contained all pullets, one hundred and the following cnurcnes after
fifty in number and their career as appointed four delegates each to rep
layers was started under the date ofj resent them: Presbyterian, Methoi
October 15, 1911 and extended to the dist, Congregational, St. Paul's Epis-
i i ni j.i rt : : J T)nV
same date one year hence. In sum-
ming up the total number of eggs pro- j that other churches m DeCome affil
duced bv these pullets, it was found iated with the organization. At a
to total 23507 eggs or 1958 11-12 doz-' meeting next Monday committees will
en. A further computation will show j be appointed on finance, social pur
. . . -, , . . . .. , . ity, temperance, sabbath observance,
that these one hundred and fifty pul-, an'd SQcial gervice
lets laid 2676 pounds of eggs or over..
a ton and a quarter or making an ave
rage of 19 1-2 pounds per hen. Con
sidering that the average weight of
j each pullet to be about 3 1-2 pounds,
it is readily seen that each had pro-1
duced 5 1-2 times her own weight.
Whhen it is considered that the lit
tle hen is producing 5 12 times her
weight each year of products that are
worth twenty cents per pound, It
is a very easy matter to prove that
she is on a par and even ahead of the
famous dairy cows that produ e twen
tyTlmes their weight in milk but
which sells for 2 1-2 cents per pound.
So give the little hen credit for the
enormous wealth she is producing
each year and it will be fotfnd that the
poultry industry has many merits-.
