WATER DISCUSSION The Live
ON TAPIS TODAY Wires will at
their luncheon
this evening hear a complete report
on the Oregon City water. A general
discussion of the report will no doubt
follow. As the Enterprise under
stands the situation there will be no
crimination or recrimination. Plain,
blunt facts are to be told. Plain,
blunt arguments as to what is best
to do under the circumstances will
be made. If the Oregon City water
caused the numerous typhoid cases
the "water must bear the blame. Coun

an exhaustive investigation of condi

Forget That

By ELBERT H. GARY, Head of
the United States Steel
Corporation
ULSTIOXS of great magnitude and concern are at present
agitating the minds of
Men of big business may
of some of them, but we ought not to be. We refuse to con
sider, or at least postpone consideration of, many of them. The ques
tions are international, national and domestic, and they involve the
welfare of every one.
We are disposed to wrap around ourselves the CLOAK OF
SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, or we proclaim- that we rely upon the
stability of the government or the majesty of the Iaw,and we con
sider ourselrea safe, whether within our vision everything seems to
be calm and tranquil or otherwise.
WE SOMETIMES FORGET THAT IT- IS THE MASSES OF THE
PEOPLE WHO DETERMINE FINAL RESULTS; - THAT THEY MAY ES
TABLISH Art D ABOLISH GOVERNMENTS; THAT THEY MAY MAKE
AND UNMAKE CONSTITUTIONS.'. SOONER OR LATER THEY BRING

THEY CAN CTERM!NE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT' IS THE RIGHT.

city council. He and Health Officer
Norris have acted together in obtain
ing a greater part of the data to be
reported.
So far as the Enterprise knows
there are few persons who are crit
icizing the persons in charge of the
Oregon City water supply. The
water has been found to contain col
on bacilli by eminent chemists and
to say that they have purposely miss
tated facts would be equivelent to
saying they are dishonest and are
parties to a gigantic conspiracy to
condemn persons who are, we believe,
doing their best.
The whole question narrows itselt
down to this:
OREGON CITY MUST HAVE
PURE WATER IF IT IS TO BE HAD.
If it is -proved that the Willamette
River water cannot be purified then
it seems incumbent upon the city to
obtain pure water in some way. If
the cheapest pure water to be obtain
ed is Bull Run water, the city should
get that if possible. If Clackamas
River water can be obtained for less
money, and that water proved to be
pure, that water should be got. If
a sufficient supply cannot be obtain
ed from either of these sources, pro
viding always, of course, that there
is ho hope for Willamette River wat
er, the city probably will be justified
in cooperating with other valley cit
ies in obtaining a supply from the
lake near Salem.
And no matter from what source
the water is obtained -it has not been
proved that better men to have
charge of the system could be obtain
ed than those now in charge. There
is no proof that other men couTd

have' done better than they with the
present supply, and there is every
reason to believe that they will urge
what seems better in correcting a
condition Which advertises the city
disastrously and causes so much sor
row in many homes. And let us re
peat, ihe question narrows itself down
to this: . .
OREGON CITY MUST HAVE
PURE WATER IF IT IS TO BE HAD.
OREGON SCHOOL Although criti
SYSTEM UPHELD cized by per
sons : in this
state, who are not particularly wll
qualified to judge, the new rural
school system of Oregon is upheld
by a man well qualified through ex
perience and training to do so. That
man in H. B. Dewey, Superintendent
of Public Instruction in the State of
Washington. The .system provides
for county ssupervisors, and it is
contended by the school authorities
of this state that it. has been of in
calculable benefit to the rural schools.
Mr. Dewey even goes further, In a a
address made to the county school
superintendents at Salem he declared
that the rural schools of Oregon were
better than the rural schools of Wash
ington, and gave as the reason the
adoptioii of the supervisor system.
Mr. Dewey said he would do all in hi3
power to have such a law enacted- in
Washington.
No doubt L. R. Alderman; Superin
tendent of Public Instruction of this
state, and T. J. Gary, Superintendent
of Clackamas County', are much elat
ed over the endorsement of the sys
tem they have steadfastly defended
by one so competent to judge as Mr.
Dewey. The standpatters of Oregon
are urged by the Enterprise t0 go
slow in urging the repeal of a law
called by an able judge the biggest
factor in making our schools super
ior. .
Samuel Gompers says the dynamit
ers are no worse than the manufact
urers. Both are bad enough when
they have to resort to violence to
carry their points. It would be a good
idea for both to fight in the open.
Assassination will never be counten
anced by the American people
A little cold weather gives the res
idents of the Willamette Valley an
opportunity to reflect upon what a
fine country this is. If we did not
have a slight freeze once in a while
it would be impossible to appreciate
how fortunate we are in being pri
leged to enjoy such a fine climate. "
Truant Officer Frost should have

COLLEGIATE
BASKETBALL
Exciting Race For Eastern Title
Is Predicted.
PRINCETON APPEARS STRONG.
In Many Quarters Tiger Team Is Pick
ed to Win Eastern Championship.
Columbia and Penn Also Look Good.
Yale Out of It.
The fight for the Intercollegiate Bas
ketball league is off lo a start on what
promises to be a most sensational sea
son. Last year's championship race
was nip and tuck all the way, but on
the present form of the teams the sea
son's battles will be even more excit
ing. Columbia, last year's champion,
and Dartmouth, which finished a close
second, have practically the same play
ers as last season. Cornell has splendid
material, and Al Sharpe, a member of
the rules committee, for years a basket
ball official, is in charge of the men.
Sharpe should have a team fighting at
the top of the heap because he com
bines a thorough knowledge of the
game with a splendid personality. The
Ithacans finished fourth last year, fall
ing down in niidseasou after making a
splendid start.
Princeton was a disappointment last
year, but the Tigers are counting on
coming back strong, and many of the
basketball wiseacres predict Prince
ton's championship. Led by the husky
fullback of the Princeton eleven, De
Witt, who plays guard on, the five, the
Tigers should put out a fighting team.
The Princetonians have introduced a
new style of basketball this year, being
coached by F. W. Leubring of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who will give the
Tigers the western open game.
Then, too, Dr. .1. E. Ray croft, former
ly of the University of Chicago and
now the chairman of the college bas
ketball rules committee, is director of
physical education at Princeton. Dr.
Raycroft Is a basketball strategist, and
the Princeton team will benefit by hav
ing many of Dr. Raycroft's aggressive
scoring plays. - "
Like Columbia, Pennsylvania, the
fifth member of the league, can be al
ways counted upon t6 produce a stroilg
team. The Red and Blue five is led
by Lon Jourdet, vho played end on
the football team. A new lot of play
ers represent Penn this year, as most
of last year's team have been gradu-
