WHAT ABOUT THE The population
MEXICAN MASSES of Mexico is 13,
600,000 and that of the capital city is
470,000. It is surprising that so little
is heard from the body of the people.
Ambitious leaders clash even to the
point of street fighting with artillery,
comuine today ana betray each other
tomorrow, and the millions look on
as if dumb and helpless, thoneh the
killed and wounded in the shifting

struggle include many who take no
active part in it. Two years ago Mex
ico elected a president, but see him
deposed by the sheerest violence,
while "vivas" are raised over a suc
cessor no matter if he is driven out
or assassinated within twenty-four j
hours. By some astonishing force of '
habit, or hypnotism, the 13,000,000 1
endure the worst forms of anarchial i
civil war for years, and seem grate-
ful for a lull in the impromptu blood- j
shed and personal treacheries that
rapidly follow each other as in a night
ma rei j
Mexico is called a self-governing
repuulic, but of late it has been no
better than a background for a few
desperate men engaged in endless
combats for a momentary lease of
power. A score of so-called leaders
and a few thousand armed men take i
part in a tumult. The 13,000,000 do
nothing, say nothing, appear to. ac-
cept the situation with stolid resigna- j
tion. No voice of the people is heard
across the border. But it may be as
sumed that some day it will become
audible and that the many will no long
er be treated by the few as absolute
ly negligible. Those who are inclin
ed to peaceful government and indus
try will, it may be supposed, wake up
eventually and put and end to the
revolutionary bravos who "proclaim '
themselves with as little ceremony as
bandits show in their assaults on so
cial order. A mass meeting of the
people in Mexico, even in defense of
their own lives, would be a novelty.
The right of peaceful assemblage and
passage of resolutions is unknown as
a public manifestation. And yet the
13,000,000 are there!
PRUDENCE WILL It is true that
STAMP OUT DISEASE there are sev
eral cases of smallpox in Oregon
City and that one or two Oregon City
residents who have contracted the
disease are seriously ill, but if the
residents will observe the ordinary
rules of health and prudence there
is no danger of an epidemic. It has
been proved by the city health officer
and the doctors that the disease was
brought into Oregon City from other
towns. There may be one or two
persons who have contracted the disease-
in Oregon City by having come
in contact with persons that were af
flicted, and if all people who have not
been vaccinnated, or vaccinnated re
cently, are' so treated at once there
will be no further fear of the disease
and Oiegon City will be saved from
an epidemic for which the city is not
responsible.
While the East is wrapped in a
blizzard and snow storm, and Califor
nia is wallowing in a flood of over
five inches of rain in one day, Oregon
is basking in the rays of a gentle,
spring sun. Why seek an ideal cli
mate elsewhere when we have it
here in the balmy Willamette Valley?

Estab
ish Minimum Wa
For the Working Women
of the Country
By JANE ADDAMS of Hull
House, Chicago
" H BELIEVE IN A MINI
H MUM WAGE BELOW
H WHICH WORKING WO
MEN SHALL NOT BE
ALLOWED TO WORK.
I do not believe in naming a
flat rate as a minimum wage.
The WAGES MUST VARY
WITH THE INDUSTRY.
That is the purpose of a mini
mum wage board to fix the
rate in the various industries.
We have the example of Eng
land, which began with the
chain and nail making, window
curtains and lace industries.
In the United States I believe
we should begin with boxmak
ing and -the clothing trades.
Then we can gradually work
into the other industries. We
can't break into them all at Si
once. It would disturb industry too much. Of course there is a mini
mum below which a girl cannot live decently if she is entirely sup
porting. In Chicago I believe that minimum lies Imm wci-ii ciaht and
ten dollars. But we can't check up indusirv rstpniU. m we must a
at it in a SYSTEMATIC AND ORDERLY FASHION.
Of course conditions vary widely in every i-ity, an I Hie in livi.liial
boards must fix conditions for each place. Hut then-' are en-tain en
eral truths, and one is that girls cannot live ih erM.U umln- n eeriairi
minimum wage. That wage should be C.I'A A XTKI'.I TO THKM

to do good work and to gain recognitions f..r individual excellence.

AND BURKE HOSTESSES
Mrs. C. G.. Miller and Mrs. Thomas
Burke were the hostesses of the Der
thic (Tub Friday afternoon at the Mil
ler home on Seventh Street. The
afternoon's entertainment was given
by Mrs. Burke and Mirs. Anna Hays.
Mrs. burke sang an aria from the
opera "La Favorita Bonizetti,'' which
was much appreciated, her beautiful
voice proving to be entirely capable
of the difficult song. She was delight
fully accompanied by Miss Sadye
Evelyn Ford. Miss Anna Hays read
the story of the opera. Current events
were told by Miss Marjory Caufield.
Dainty refreshments were served af
ter the program. The guests were:
Mesdames Clark Ganong, S. O. Dill

TO COLLECT TAXES

or instead of the sheriff. This fea
ture of the act, however, does not go
into effect until January 1, 1914.
It is proposed to amend section
3728 of Lord's Oregon Laws to re
quire the assessor, at the time of mak
ing the assessment of any transient
merchandise brought into his county,
to collect the tax thereon at the rate
of. the current year. The present law
provides the same method for mak
ing the assessment and determining
the tax to be paid, but is more cum
bersome and uncertain in the collec
tion et" the tax.
It is provided in this bill that in
the event the tax paid on transient
merchandise or on unsecured person
al property, at. the rates of the cur
rent year, exceeds the amount which
should have been paid on such prop
erty at the rates of the year for
which the assessment is made, the
taxpayer shall be entitled to repay
ment by the county of the excess col
lected. ' - -

(4) -Verses 2-4 WThat had God
previously promised Abram concern
ing his posterity? (See Gen. xiii:15
16) (5) When we have had a promise
from God which is a long time in be
ing fulfilled, and there seems no hu
man possibility of it ever being done,
is it sinful to doubt? Why?
(6) In those days children
were prayed for and regarded as a
great blessing. Why is it not gener
ally the same in these days?

worrying because he could not har

facts God repeated his promises and
made them more emphatic. What les
son may we learn from the incident?

der our own control? Why or why
not?
(9) Why was it that Abram doubt
ed at one moment and had such -sublime
faith the next?
(10) Why is belief of God account
ed to be such a righteous act, and un
belief to be a sinful one?
- (11) Verses 7-11 How often

with us, taking Abram's experience
as a precedent?
(12) Would you say or not, and
why, that God likes to have us ask
for proof of his promises?

to offer up the sacrifice as here
stated?
(14) What influence has worship
and sacrifice upon our doubts?
(15) What are the sacrifices
which God demands of us today?
(16) Verses . 12-21 Does God
sometimes instruct us in our sleep
or during other times when we may
be unconscious of Him? Give your
reasons.
(17) How many years actually in
tervened, and what great events hap
pened to-Abram's seed, before they
possessed the promised land?
(18) Chap, xvii: 1-8 When is a
good man more likely to shine as a

old age?
