DIMICK'S BILL WOULD W. A. 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.

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

greater than any amount of money
can replace.

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

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.

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

Noted Author and Lecturer Here.
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.
