Dim AID NEXT GENERATION ick. Clack amas Coun ty's representative in the state sen ate, has introduced a bill which is of the utmost importance to all persons interested in eugenics. The bill, if enacted into' a law, unquestionably would be Of great aid to Oregon, al though for the nonce, we know of no state that has a finer or sturdier people But it is just as well to keep the race up to the highest standard so we unhesitatingly indorse the measure introduced by Senator Dim ick, which provides that no marriage license shall be issued in the state unless it is accompanied by a certif icate from a practicing physician at least 12 hours prior to the proposed ceremony, and that the man is physi ' cally fit to enter into such marriage Natural selection plays an important part in the human race and. with lower animals. Darwin proved that through selection by human beings many animal species were improved almost one hundredfold within a few years For instance he took ordinary pigeons and by careful selection within an incredible short time pro duced the fantails, the. pouters and other fancy stock. He worked al most as great wonders with chickens and other fowls However, it would be impossible with the human race to make matings such as would bring the best results, because human be ings, for the most' part, will mate as they see fit. The idea Senator Dim ick has in mind is to prevent a de terioration of the race through mar riage of persons diseased physically or mentally. If his bill becomes a law, and the law in enforced, there is little doubt that the number of imbeciles would be greatly lessened as a result. And there is little doubt that the number of persons inher iting organic diseases would be .greatly lessened. Senator Dimick is working on a scientific hypothesis, which in the lower order of animals has been demonstrated repeatedly. The Enterprise hasnftthe slightest doubt that with careful selection of mates in the human family and with careful- attention to offspring, prodi gies such as the world has never known would be produced. WORK FOR PURE WATER. Much has been said about the need for a pure water supply for our city. We are now forced to drink, even if advised to boil thirty minutes before taking, the sewage from the cities bordering on the Willamette from its source. True, we have one of, if not the most beautiful rivers in the world from a scenic point of view, one f the most valuable of the West com mercially, but ever since man first found it and knew the value of a sewer in connection with home con veniences, it has been used as the main artery to dispose of sewage. As time goes on and our state be comes more thickly populated, great er will be the polution and greater will be the risk to human lives if used; not alone as a - water supply for private homes-, but for the irriga tion of vegetables that are eaten raw. , ..... v .- - We are working for the upbuilding of our city, county and state, but in all advertising must tell the. truth. t-- X FOL)rA A PRftOT irA WIS .0OM tTS DEPARTED IT BACK TO THE. OFFICE WITH ME - IT MAV rs 805 AND TALK ABOUT VVHEN THE CH)V SEE DILLMAN & HOWLAND REAL ESTATE and RELIABLE INSURANCE WEINHARD BUILDING. We have an impure water supply and the people must be made aware of it. In a case of this kind silence would be "living out a lie"'- When the people know of our few weak points as well as our many strong ones, and come to abide with us, they alone are at fault but let's not have any weak points pure water is our only requisite to command the position at the top pure water, such a small but absolutely needed life necessity within our grasp, but those who have the power to grant it seem backward and unwilling to act . Cost should be a secondary mat ter. The loss of one human life is greater than any amount of money can replace. Citizens act: Help the committees from the Live Wires, the Medical As sociation, the -Woman's Club, at the council meeting next Wednesday. Demand an immediate investigation of available pure water supplies. COMMERCIAL CLUB Another year DOES GREAT WORK of effort has started the sixth in the history of the history of Oregon City's growth, for until the Commercial Club was organized there was not a city on the coast which neglected its opportunities worse than this. Five years have elapsed and the Sixth started, each one showing a better record, until now we are known from the Atlantic around the globe and back again as one of the most progressive spots of opportunity in the Western hemisphere for the man with little means, big ambitions and a desire to work. May the Com mercial Club live long and continue to prosper. . Barking. He What made yon smile when I said I was going to steal a kiss? She They say that a barking dog never bites. New York Times. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE FEED THE BIRDS. OREGON CITY, Jan. 18. (To the Editor of the Enterprise.) Right now is the time to show our appreciation of the birds that gather about our homes and add to the joy of our lives by their lithe movements, beautiful dress and sweet song. The snow lias completely covered the ground in many cases and our feath ered friends must be fed or starve. Bread crumbs, pieces of meat, suet, grain or vegetable foods placed where they can get them will soon attract their attention and then joy and sat isfaction will soon be in evidence. We have but few birds in the Wil lamette Valley compared with some other sections of our country and their inestimable value to the com munity as insect destroyers and as real factors in the social and com mon life is altogether too little ap preciated. Let us be .thoughtful of these among the noblest of God's creatures and be philanthropic enough, good enough to feed and care for them in this, their time of need. F. J. TOOZE. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY. OREGON CITY, Jan. 18, (Editor of the Enterprise.) In answer to your inquiry as to St. Valentine, it gives me pleasure to say that as all know the day on which the Saint is honor ed is February the fourteenth. In this year of grace it falls upon a Fri day. According to the discipline of the Anglican Catholic and the Roman Catholic Church, every Friday in the year is a day of abstinence unless Christmas falls upon it, or a special dispensation ist granted by the ec clesiastical authorities. This year it also occurs in Lent, every day of which is theoretically a day of ab stinence, but actually so every Wed nesday and Friday." Finally it-falls this year on one of the special days of fasting, called Ember Day St. Val entine's Day has been celebrated for many years and Is mentioned by Chau cer, Shakespeare and Jonson; and Pepys says in his diary on the 14th of February 1666 '1 om also this year my wife's Valentine and it will cost me five hundred pounds; "but that I must have laid out if we had not been Valentines." St. Valentine was a MORNING ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JAN. 19,1913 It Was THE. OWNER.-BROUGHT TrKe.

We read particulars of him in historian Bede. To abolish the ' heathens lewd, superstitious cus tom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honor of their goddess Feb ruatar, Juno on the 15th of this month several zealous pastors substituted the names of saints in billets given on this day. Hence the sending of tokens from sweetheart to sweet heart. And here I might emphasize the foolishness of the abolition of some evil by law without substitu tion of some good in its place. Your readers will think this out for themselves. i Young men and young women will j do their courting and it is for the 1 church to see that they do it under proper auspices. - j C. W. ROBINSON.

Emma J. A. Drake, M. D., of Den ver, Col., author, physician and lec turer, will conduct two services in Oregon City on Sunday. At a mass meeting in the Methodist Church at 4 P. M. she will lecture on "Individual Resposibility." In the evening ser vice at the Congregational ' Church her topic will be "Heredity, Environ ment and the Grace of God." Dr. Drake treats her subject with perfect frankness, but with such del icacy of feeling and with such evident moral earnestness as to avoid giving offense. Doctor Drake is eminently qualified for the work to which she has given her life, as a lecturer on social and moral reforms. From years of ex perience as a teacher and minister's wife, as well as from the closer con tact with the great evils of the day in. her life as a physician, she has gained at first hand the valuable in formation which makes her work so effective. She speaks before churches, clubs, teacher's institutes, in schools, W. C. T. C. meetings and purity leagues. Testimanial from Salem, Or. "Whereas, Mrsi Dr. Emma F. A. Drake lectured at, the churches of this city yesterday to the great sat isfaction and benefit of our people, be it "Resolved, that we, the Salem Ministerial Union, heartily endorse Dr. Drake in the great work to which she has consecrated her life. Her message was clear, pure, entirely in offensive to the purest minds, but strikingly effective in its inspiration for social purity and revealing the tremendous danger of ignorance. H.
