The almost universal cry of
WATER
Oregon City is pure water.
A large number .of her cit
izens have petitioned the Commercial
Q'ub and the Live Wires Association
to lend their aid to the end that the
city vote bonds and a proper supply
be located, purchased or appropriated
and connected with the city's water
mains.

Live Wires Ascociation and the Pub
licity Department have been carrying

The federal body finally must
be given authority so to regulate
traffic as to protect the interests
of all. To that extent the federal
commission must be supreme.

WEINHARD BUILDING.
in and without our city 'and the results
of their labor are everywhere appar
ent, but there is still one great work
to be accomplished before Oregon
City can stand alone before the world
and make people' sit up and take no
tice. We must have an absolutely
purewater suprfy from every point ot
view, and with a new city administra
tion coming in with the new year,
good resolutions on the part of every
one with their shoulders to the wheel
will bring about the desired results.
Meanwhile, boil the water you drink.
PHILOSOPHY The state of Colo
OF GOOD ROADS rado spent con
siderable money im
proving the roads of the state in 1911,
and as a result 6,000 automobiles vis
ited the state last year, and accord
ing to statistics of the Denver Cham
ber of Commerce, no less than $2,
700,000 was left in the state by those
visitors.
Argue as one will, there is no de
ny ing. the fact that there is an educa
tional, and moral, as well as money
value vo good roads. Probably the
biggest reason why boys and girls
will not stay on the farm, is because
of the ghastly isolation which bad
roads impose. Improve the roads
and make it possible for the families
of the farmers to have the social in
tercourse which the normal human
demands, and you will settle for all
time the problem of how to keep the
young folks on the farm. The state
of Oregon has a great deal to learn
in this direction. Seffishness, and a
total disregard of the other fellow,
has led to road districts refusing to
pass any levy which might temporar
ily hurt them. On the other hand we
have districts that cheerfully tax them
selves to the limit, not merely that
they themselves might benefit, but
that the . state at large might be able
to attract the tourists, to whom good
roads are the big attraction.

ing things to an extreme, but when
one stops to think of the many moth-.;
ers left with a brood to support and
educate, and no funds to do it with,
is assumes a totally different color. -Nor
is the subject wanting for differ
ences of opinion. Cook County of
Illinois pays $75,000 to institutions for
the care o$ dependent children. How
much better it would be if that mon
ey were paid out to indigent mothers
to look after their own flesh and blood.
It seems so absurd to take a child
from its natural nurse and protector,
build institutions, and employ nurses
to do the work that the mother would
only be too happy to do in the first
instance were it only made possible.
The expense would be infinitely less
to the taxpayers.
St. Louis has enacted an ordinance '
which atlows pensions for dependent
mothers, the idea will travel, and it i
is sincerely hoped that the 'great stata .
of Oregon will fall in line. We pen-:
sion soldiers who merely take long
chances on being wounded. Why not
do as much for the poor woman who
cheerfully goes down in the valley of
the shadow of death, to the end that
men might be born.
THE NEW Today we staild at the
YEAR portals of a new year. A
nw year with all its possi
bilities of good and evil, success and
failure. What are we going to do
with it? "God alone knows" some
will say, in the thoroughly human
effort to place the responsibility on
God, Providence, or Fate, according
to the point of view of the individual.
But we are largely masters of our own
destiny, and socialistc theories to the
contrary notwithstanding, we are also
responsible for our environment.
True, with many of us the material
environment is neither inspiring nor
elevatiing, and the sordid circum
stances of life compel us to move and
have our being amidst surroundings
that seem to exist only to afford sta
tistics to settlement workers, as fOi-
example the family which through
scanty means is compelled to rent a
home in the cheapest and possibly
the vilest part of the "city. But there
is something far better than mere
physical environment, there is the spir
itual environment of the soul. We
may each one of us provide our souls
with the purest thoughts of all the
ages, and if we strive to do that, noth
ing is more sure than that our mater
ial development will cease to affect
us. Nay, it will follow most inevitably
that even our physical environment j
will change for the better. But the
great majority of us (live midst com
fortable surroundings, and are getting
out of life all, if not more, than we
give.
Why not let us resolve to do more
for the other fellow this coming year?
The trouble with most of our resolu
tions is that they are too selfish. They
concern only ourselves, or at the most
those who are dependent upon us,
and in that sense part of ourselves.
Most of our personal weaknesses
arise from the fact that we are too
se,'f-centered, and consequently miss
the uplift that comes from the other
fellow's well meant good will. Wheth
er Christ be the Son of God, as all
real Christians believe, or merely a
1kd-like man of- divine attributes, a;
some others teach, the one great, sub
lime and indisputable fact remains,
that He taught us .that -we are mereCy
part of the whole, and that no man
can live to himself. If we will remem
ber that eternal fact, we shall be more
careful of our conduct and attitude
towards society, and realize that our
words, our actions, and even our ap
parel, are exerting an effect on so
ciety, and Influencing for better or
worse the citizens of the futue. There-
i fore let us each resolve to think of
I the other feVow this coming year. It
will pay us, individually, and will
i solve every economic question that
now taxes the body politic.
