LINCOLN AS A In his address at
. WORLD-INFLUENCE Springfield, 111.
on Lincoln Day the German ambas
sador to the United States, Count
von Bernstorff, touched ably on one
of the live issues of the times when
he pointed out that the work perform
ed by Lincoln in his own country has
been a shaping force to an important
degree in other civilized races and
nations. The count traced this feel
ing in the desire of Germany for uni
fication, a wish realized since Lin
coln's death and encouraged by his
work and example. If the American
Union had been torn asunder the val
ue of federated states would have
been in doubt, and the arguments of
history would have been against rac
ial and political affiliations. In all
probability such alliances aa that
now active in Southeastern Europe
would not exist, for if this country
had failed its history would be a warn
ing, not an inspiration.
What the ambassador said about
the 187,000-men of German birth who
enlisted in he Union armies is de
served, and it will never be underval
ued. This great army of Germans in
America had been born under a man
archial government and spoke another
language But there were entire reg
iments of Germans in the Union for
ces East and West, and they perform
ed their work with full courage and
devotion. They offered their lives
in an adopted country because tho
ideals, "best conceived and expressed
. by Lincoln, appealed to their sense
ol right - and justice for all men. If
Germany has gained good, for itself
from the works and deeds of Lincoln,
from what was achieved under his
leadership, it is but part payment of
Doctors, Not Lawyers,

Government
By Dr. CHARLES L. DANA. Professor of Nervous Diseases at
Cornell University
T is in the direction of hygiene, the science of the PRESER
X
VATION OF HEALTH, aa opposed to therapeutics, the
science of curing disease, that we must look for the greatest
development in medicine.
There are, however, some incidents connected with the hygienic
crusade which may very well have a favorable influence onthe eco
nomic position of the medical man. Hygiene PROLONGS T1IE
DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE and prolongs it most notably in
the cases of people who are feeble in health, who- are chronic invalids.
In other words, it gives a' LONGER LEASE , OF LIFE to those
who are most likely to require the services of a physician. ...
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF HYGIENE, UNDER WHICH
THE DOCTOR WILL GRADUALLY -BECOME A ' MORE- IMPORTANT
MAN IN THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS A GROWING TENDENCY ON
THE PART OF MUNICIPALITIES, STATES AND NATIONS TO CALL
IN THE DOCTOR TO REMEDY CONDITIONS WHICH AFFECT THE
HEALTH OF LARGE BODIES OF CITIZENS, AND THE TIME IS AP
PROACHING WHEN MEDICINE WILL BECOME A PART OF STATE
CRAFT AND "WHEN- DOCTORS WILL ' DIRECT AFFAIRS MORE AND
LAWYERS LESS.

the debt to the liberty loving Germans
who have found a home in this coun

unified Germany, ever advancing in
the scale of nations, is a gratifying
fact to Americans.
OREGON CITY SHOULD Sections 3
BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED and
4 of Oregon City- odinance No. 206
relates to buildings which have moss
on the roofs. That ordinance makes
it a finable offense for property own
ers to allow such conditions to pre
vail. It certainly is ah untidy and
slovenly condition and adds more
than anything else to the unsightly
appearance of the city, except pos
sibly the presence of tumbled down
buildings. They are nuisances and
and in a great many instances only har
bors for rats and other vermin, fire
traps, house hobos, trash and rub
bish. On both sides of Main Street from
Fifth Street south there are a number
of these places, and some steps ought
to be taken to have them removed,
cleaned up and the ground put in de
cent shape.
It is the purpose of the Live Wires
to call the attention of the public to
these things in a friendly way, so the
property owners may see the merits
of having their property cleaned and
put in jreseHtable shape. We think
it is not because the property owners
are naturally slovenly, or have little
regard for their city, but because of
the fact that they are very busy and
some of them do not get into that
section of the city, and for that rea
son are unacquainted with the pres
ent conditions so it is likely when
their attention is called to the mat
ter they will be more glad to have
the conditions remedied.
MAIN STREET SHOULD BE The city
GIVEN CLEANING AT ONCE council
before accepting the improvement of
Main Street, between Moss Street and
the Abernethy, should insist that the
contractors clean the street. The
thoroughfare is in a deplorable condi
tion. How can the council say that
the hard surface is satisfactory when
it is so covered with mud and slime
that it cannot be seen? Perhaps there
are cracks and crevices in the pave
ment. Perhaps there are no cracks
and crevices in the pavement. The
MORNING ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1913.
The Rabbit Was Absolutely Safc
HOWLAND
chances are there are no cracks and
crevices, but the city council must be
sure that the street is all right. A
pavement covered with mud and slime
cannot be investigated as to its mer
its. While the Enterprise believes
the Montague-O'Reilly Company, which
built the street has done good work,
the paper insists that the council
make an examination, and it is in
cumbent upon the contractors to clean
the street so that the work can be
inspected.
WOMAN'S CLUB HAS The city coun
HELPED CITY PARKS in advocat
ing, a renaming of the city parks, has
inaugurated a genuine public work.
The parks should have appropriate
names and the council will see that
such names are given. However, the
work that the Woman's Club has giv
in this line should not be forgotten.
The patriotic women of this club sav
ed the home of Dr. McLoughlin and
raised sufficient money to buy a site
upon which to place it, to remain for
generations. The home is surround
ed by a beautiful park, which the wo
men provided. In all sincerity the
Enterprise thinks the club should be
consulted regarding the naming of
the parks, and, not only that, one of
the prominent members of the club
should be appointed a member of the
board of park commissioners. The
women of Oregon City have demon
strated that they know more about
providing parks than the men.
MRS. PETERS GIVEN
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
Mfrs. Meint Peters was pleasantly
surprised on her sixty-sixth birthday
by a number of her neighbors at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank
Shipley, of Willamette, -with whom

the-entire day with Mrs. Peters, who

FREYTAG GETS BOOKS
TO SEND TO
O. E. Freytag, secretary of the
Publicity Department of the Commer
cial Club, has made arrangements
with the State Library Commission
to furnish a set of agricultural books
to farmers. The books will be sent
here in a few days and Mr. Freytag
will arrange for their distribution.
They will be left in this county for
six months. Mr. Freytag urges the
farmers to call for the books, and his
only request is that they shall be kept
in good condition and returned at the
stated time.
L
IS TO BE ALTERED
The board of directors of the Ore
gon City Library Association Thurs
day night instructed the secretary to
write 10 the architect of the new
building in Seventh Street Park to
the effect that the board is not sat
isfied with the basement walls and
the glass. It is urged that the base
ment walls be made waterproof. The
architect is expected to remedy con
ditions at once. .The building cost
$10,350 and the fixtures more than
$1,250. : It is expected that the library
will be opened to the public in a few
days. The money for the library and
fixtures was furnished by Andrew
Carnegie. ;
