PRESIDENTS Better than pension AND PRESIDENTS ing ex-presidents at $25, 000 a year in order to make them available for further pub lic servce, would b to make them, t-y vir-jie of having been presidents, life members of the senate but at no greater salary than that of other senators, i'm . .1 ..a.1 salary 'f $7500 and nilai;p 'i' ::::ii!ii;iin a decent establishment and it should be borne in mind that a prudent man who has received $300,000 from the government is likely to be in posses sion of capital he can safely invest as the basis of additional income. This would obviate a necessity of discontinuing a pension at the death of an ex-president. Such a necessity should be clearly recognized. Pen sioning a man almost involves and includes pensioning his widow. A re public can afford to take no step which can be claimed as precedent for pensioning the widows and fami lies of civil officers in annual sums sufficient to maintain opulence or splendor. The maximum pension we allow soldiers for total disability ow ing to wounds, exposures in the line of duty or any Other eau.se la so in significant when set beside the figure Mr. Carnegie names as the minimum for an ex-president and for his fam ily after his death that we rather wonder he is not ashamed to draw attention to the glaring contrast. As ex-officio senators, our ex-presidents could use whatever superior knowledge of public affairs they may have gained in the White House to better purpose than it could be used in any other way. We mention this matter of superior White House equip ment only because Mr. Carnegie lays stress on it and not because of any merit it possesses in our own opinion. At any rate, we should sedulously avoid everything bearing even a remote resemblance to the establishing of privileged families or house in this country. Our Real Race Suicide Problem By E. E. RITTENHOUSE. Expert on the Conservstion of Human Life - 771 E are not only reducing shortening the span of life, but we are permitting at least 650,000 American lives to be destroyed annually which we could SAVE by the application of simple and well known sanitary and other PRECAUTIONS. This is OUR REAL RACE SUICIDE PROBLEM. We have made progress in preventing life waste, hut it" has been confined almost wholly to contagious or infections diseases. At the same time the death rate from the degenerative diseases of uiiddie life and old age, against which we have waged no war, has steadily in creased. The ECONOMIC LOSS IS STUPENDOUS, but it is 'IXSlf', NIFICANT compared to the miserv, suffering, poverty, immorality and crime which result from the needless sickness and premature death from which the nation is now suffeering. In the last analysis the war against preventable disease is a STRUOCLE BETWEEN THE DOLLAR AND THE DEATH RATE.

WOMAN'S CLUEL It is doubtful if DOES FINE WORK the residents of this city realize the amount of charitable and philanthropic work that is done by the Woman's Club. This organization of noble women is constantly aiding the poor, helping the deserving girls, and raising funds for other work that betters civic coiiditions. But its many worthy deeds are not advertis ed and few persons know just what the club is accomplishing in those things that go to make a- better com munity and improve the city. It pro ceeds to a large extent upon the theo ry of not letting the right hand know what the left one is doing. And yet the work accomplished is great and we wonder how Oregon City ever got along without this live,, intelligent and progressive organization. Perhaps nothing done by the club deserves more commendation than its efforts in assisting the poor of the city, stricken duing the present typhoid epidemic. No sooner was it announ ced that there were a large number of patients that the club raised suf ficient money with which to employ a nurse to go from house to house and offer assistance in caring for the invalids. It also was instrumental in having a girl whose parents are poor, sent to a hospital and given the best attention. It is announced that she will soon be able to return home. Work of this kind cannot be too high ly commended, and the members of the club may be sure that their ef forts are appreciated by the residents of the city. Good morning! Now just what do you think about the new Easter bon net the Enterprise is wearing today? DR. FORD TO PREACH ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS Dr. T. B.

The paper was from the mills of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com pany and the Crown-Columbia Paper Company. B. T. McBain, mill mana ger of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company, said that the paper which had been damaged could be made ov er, but the salvage would be small. The boat will be saved although the cost of raising and repairs probably will amount to several thousand dol lars. Both steamer and cargo were fully insured. Upon striking the bar the' steamer whistled for aid and the Steamer An nie Cummings, which was coming to this city from Portland, soon stood by. The Steamer N. "R. Lang also en route from Portland answered the call for help in less than half an hour. There was nothing, however, the oth er boats could do, for the Ruth had been beached upon thir arrival and the crew was never in danger. Announcement was made that the work of unloading the disabled vessel would be begun today and she would be repaired as soon as possible. The Ruth left the locks here at 7 o'clock Saturday morning bound for Portland. She was built in 1895 in Portland.
