DIMICK AND BEATIE The advertise
NOT POLITICAL ALLIES ment in
Wednes
day's Enterprise regarding Grant B.
Dimick and R. B. .Beatie was some
what misleading. Judge Dimick is
a candidate for the Republican nom
ination for Governor. Judge Beatie
is a Democrat and an applicant under
the Democratic administration for
Marshal of the state. While Judge
Dimick and Judge Beatie are good
friends they do not agree politically
.and the advertisement worked a dis
advantage on both of them. The ad
vertisement was furnished by an en
terprising real estate man who is a
friend of both men mentioned, and,
he like the Enterprise, little thought
that anyone would take exceptions to
it. However, the fact remains that
Judge Beatie will be named Marshal
of Oregon, and Judge Dimick has a
mighty good chance of becoming Gov
ernor of this great state. The Enter
prise says to both of them: "Good
Luck"!
GOVERNMENT Secretary of the
AND PANICS Treasury McVeagh, in
the annual report of
the operations of his department
transmitted to Congress, renews his
earlier urging of an improved bank
ing system. There can be no denial
of the necessity of improvement in
the present system, and the secretary
cannot even be charged with exagger
ation in saying that the Federal Gov
ernment, so long as the present faulty
system is retained, will be respon
sible for the commercial, financial
and industrial disasters which flow
from panics. But the desirability of
having a better system being gener
ally admitted, it will- be generally
disappointing for the business world
to find that the secretary sees only
the end but not the means. The pres
ent system promotes and developes
panics, he declares, but he seems to
offer nothing more than glittering
generalities by way of providing a
better one. The. revision of the law,
he says, should, aside' from' affording
flexible and tlastic currency and re
serves, bring the banks into an or
ganized co-operation and provide for

Attack
on Railroads
Disrupting
America's
Power
By President
ARTHUR T. HADLEY of
Yale University
'HE American nation may LOSE ITS GREATNESS if the
temper shown by recent unreasonable attacks on railroads
is not altered.
I am afraid that neither the public nor the government
is awake to the real state of things. In our endeavors to control cor-
. porations we TOO OFTEN TRY TO LESSEN THEIR EFFI
CIENCY INSTEAD OF INCREASING IT. We are appalled
by one rr-i'road accident, and we suggest that every engine should
- have two engineers instead of one. A fast train runs off the track,
and a government officer suggests that people ought not to want to
travel so fast.
' IF THESE VIEWS PREVAIL THE DAYS OF AMERICAN GREAT
NESS ARE DONE. A PEOPLE THAT BELIEVES IN DIVIDED RE
SPONSIBILITY AND WASTE OF TIME HAS NO FUTURE. THERE IS
COMPETITION BETWEEN NATIONS, WHETHER THERE BE COMPE
TITION WITHIN THE NATIONS OR NOT. IF WE ARE CONTENT TO
TAKE THINGS EASILY, GERMANY WILL BE ONLY TOO GLAD TO
GET AHEAD OF US.
What is to be done in the face of this state of things? In the
first place, we must CONTINUE TO REWARD THE EFFI
CIENT MAN. : The fact that competition, will no longer do this
automatically must make us all, as part of our public duty, lend a
hand to the men who are getting things done. We shall deal with
the problems of corporate regulation and with the abuses of cor
porate management more effectively if we are willing to appreciate
efficient service. '
' We must develop a system of FIRST CLASS TECHNICAL
TRAINING AT LOW PRICES, like that which has been so suc
cessful in Germany. The great obstacle to good technical training
in -the United States in the past has been the idea that public schools
ought to be free. - -
can work free, of political or trust
control.'
. Battle ships can hit a small target
at a distance of seven miles, but this
will not suffice to keep the Balkan al
lies from reaching salt water some
where. A Democratic senator remarks that
there are Democratic protectionists.
No doubt of it, and they will shortly
realize the folly of voting for a free
trade party.
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and
Indiana are the only states in the
Union that batted over 200,000,000
bushels in corn production for the
season of 1912.
Some of the Democrats are so sen
sitive about cause and effect that
they don t want anybody to mention
that fire will burn, water drown, or
a misplaced switch make trouble.
A business more restful than that
of smoking glass for eclipses has been
discovered. It is that of acting as a
living model for embalmers. And
yet it is a stiff proposition for the
nervous.
A grandson of Patrick Henry lived
long enough to see the Mother of
Presidents add another to its list.
Everybody admits that the first Vir
ginia president is as good a model
as evet.
The latest Democratic recipe for.re
ducing the cost of living: "Give us
back those 50,00.0 fourth-class post of-
fices."
Democratic patronage pie will be
abundant, but the crust shorter than
ever, according to the figures of the
popular vote.
An irrigation dam just completed
in Texas cost $7,000,000. The bumper
crops of this year are just one mile
post on the road.
Uncle Sam will not send the army
officer who superintended the build
ing of the Panama Canal to Mr. Car
negie for a pension.

a small chest expansion. Their lim

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
HEALTH OFFICER BLAMED.
CLACKAMAS, Feb. 11 (Editor of
the Enterprise.) In the Enterprise of
Feb. 7, appeared an article headed,
"Carelessness causes spread of di
sease,' in which Dr. Norris is quoted
as saying: "That several case of the
scarlet fever in Clackamas might have
been prevented had the families of
those afflicted been more careful."
Also that "In several cases person's
who were exposed to the disease
have been careless and thus made it
difficult to stamp out the contagion."
He also charges people with breaking
quarantine, saying: "If persons, had
been careful of keep the quarantine
there might have been no more cases
at the present time."
This is adding insult to injury and
shooting at long range, when the peo
ple concerned were not supposed tot
read his article. The facts are Dr.'
Norris is charging the people with his
own guilt. Every time the cases were
turned over to Dr. Norris as health
officer there would be a new outbreak
of scarlet fever. He had his deputy
fumigate the house and the people
were told they could not go anywhere
whicn they usually did.
Now he blames the people the most
of whom followed his advice when
he is the guilty man. He turned
these people out in some cases, . 10
days too soon, others were turned out
21 days too soon and one was turned
out 28 days-too soon. To make the
matter plain ; when the fi- st cases
occured they were placed under quar
antine. There were then no new
cases for about 5 weeks, when Dr.
Norris caused one house to be fum
igated and the people were told they
were free to go anywhere. They went
to church and the girl went to school.
Several new cases resulted of this
disobedience on the part of Dr. Nor
ris, of the rules laid down by the
State Board of Health. Was this fam
ily to blame? No. They did not
know the law but followed the direc
tion of the health officer or his dep
uty.' The second outbreak was held in
check lor more than six weeks. Dur
ing a part of this time the schools
were closed and the churches closed
down. It was agreed not to reopen
school until the health officer, Dr.
Norris, - should . pronounce the- situa-

OVER 2 TRAGEDIES
PENDLETON, Or., Feb., 12. Two
frightful accidents occurred here this
morning with fatal results, casting a
gloom over the city. Little Ethel
Grubbs 'was .run over and her body
ground beneath the wheels of an in
coming Walla Walla paor.euger tTain..
Almost at the same lime, in anoth
er part of the city, Lloyd Hall waa
accidentally shot and killed.
The little Grubbs girl was hurrying
o the Catholic school , and it is
thought that, in an attempt to avoid
tfing late, she dashed across the r.-.il-ond
tracks without aoi .r.y. the '.'n
comi'ig train. Tb.3 ."jitue train pa-sod
aver, the body Mid nutilated it
badly. At the point where the acci
dent occurred three main line? of
railroad cross Court Street, one of
the main thoroughfares, and one
which all students of ' the - Catholic
school use. The place is dangP.rous
at best, and there is no flagman or
warning signal of any kind at cross
ings Lloyd Hall had taken a 22-cal;!-ie
r:tie out early in the morning to hunt
rabbits before school time. Return
ing to the house, he handed the gun
to- his sister, asking her to put .it
away. In the exchange the weapon
in home manner was discharged, the
1 all f triking the la J in the breast,
kiDiiig him. almost instantly. The
boy was a member of the freshman
clfss st the High school, where he
was prominent in aihletics and was
well liked. He was a son of James
hall, a prominent stockman of Camas
Prairie. -

tion safe.,All went - weil, the school
was re-opened and so were the church
es, me house wnere there were
cases, the healt-i officer caused to be
fumigated and by his order they were
turned out, told they were free to go
any where. They went to church and
school. Were they to blame? They
Denevea ur. in orris Knew or ougnt
to know the law. At least eight j
cases sprung up within a few days, re-'
suiting in the death of one. When all
had taken it, who were susceptible
and the people had kept their child
ren away from school and public gath
erings there was another pause of
several weeks until another batch oi
patients were turned out, and then
we had the last outbreak. Why will
Dr. Norris blame the people when he
is the guilty man? Most of these
people would have complied with the
law had they been told what it is.
What right had he to be ignorant
of the rules of the State Board of
Health? If he knew and wilfully dis
obeyed his crime is still greater. In
ho instance where the people told
they must stay away from school for
twenty-one days. He broke the rules
when he turned out one case in twenty-one
days, when the law provided
that they were not to be fumigated
until thirty days after they took sick
and then the patient must stay away
from school and other public gather
ings for twenty-one days more. These
facts were brought out by an exam
ination of the record in his examina
tion at school. Dr. Harvey . Wiley
says: ."That for every preventable di
sease resulting fatally, those charged
with the responsibility of prevention
are guilty of murder."
The editor would perform a good
deed if he would get a pamphlet con
taining laws and rules regarding con
tagious diseases and publish them.
The rules for scarlet fever follow:
"For the patient and children asso
ciated with or in the family with the
patient, quarantine for not less than
thirty (30) days after the beginning
of the disease and until complete des
quamation or scaling of the skin of
the patient. Isolation of the patient
and children associated with the pa
tion for ten (10) days after removal
of quarantine. Patient shall not be
permitted to re-enter school until
twenty-one (21) days after quarantine
is removed. Other children in the
family may be disinfected and remov
ed to another house and shall there
be isolated for a period of ten (10)
days and then released provided they
remain free from the disease.
For adults living in the family, with
or exposed to the patient, while the
house remains quarantined, unless
said adults submit to thorough disin
fection of their clothing and removal
from the ". premises during the time
said quarantine Is maintained.

Senate adopted McArthur's resolution
providing for a constitutional amend
ment to go before the people, which
would allow the City of Portland and
the County of Mulnomah to be unit
ed under a single governm'ent.
Dimick was opposed to the propo
sition, fearing that if it was passed
by the people it would allow a slice
of Clackamas County to be lopped off
and created into a new county with
a strip from Multnomah County.
