.WILSON BECOMES Woodrow Wil
PRESIDENT TODAY son, a native
of Virginia, fortner head of Princeton
University, and, until recently Gov
ernor of the great state of New Jer
sey, becomes President of the United
States today. Mr. Wilson is a Dem
ocrat. He is a son of a Presbyterian
minister, who ministered to his flock
well.
Mr. Wilson is erudite, he has a good
mind, and his acts heretofore indi
cate that he is honest and paU'iotic.
We believe that he will mate a fine
President of the greatest republic
the world has ever known. I. is well
for the country that, a Democratic
administration is occasionally chosen.
It causes the party that ruled so long
before to sit up and take notice.
Checks and balances are necessary
even in government, and we know of
no country that has a better system of
shecks and balances than the United
States. The Enterprise is a Repub
lican paper and believes in the Re
publican Party, but just because tbe
Democrats happen to be in power for
the present tne paper does net be
lieve the country is going to smash.
Such talk is all bosh. It would be a
reflection upon our people to say that
a Democrat could not be as good a
patriot as a Republican. We are all
of one country and almost all of the
family. Give Wilson a chance. If he
does not make good tbe people will
replace him with a Republican We
hope this is done at the next e'ection,
but because we happen to disagree
with a man politically, is no reas6n
Eugenics Would Bring Sace
of Small People With f
By Professor E. F. WARD of Brown University
1IE positive eugenists desire
FUL SELECTION of those -;i!lf( upon to perpetuate v
This is undoubtedly an attractive conci'inii.u. lmt the contn-
of heredity is possible only to a nuwter creature. Man is site:
a master creature to the lower animals, but there is no such masto
over men. INTELLIGENT, NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS A HI
THEIR OWN MASTERS.
A LAW ATTEMPTING TO REGULATE TIME MATING OF HUMAN
BEINGS WOULD BE A WORSE TYRANNY THAN ALL THE SUMPTU
ARY LAWS OF THE MIDDLE AGES EVER DREAMED OF.
Even basing this system on the spread of rijjht ideas on hereditv
and selection, its effects must be small. People who are attracted m
one another are not likely to inquire whether oiyiot they can MA I N
TAIN TLTE STANDARD OF THE RACE. '
We must depend on nature for these things. Nature has ways of
maintaining the standard of the race or even improving it that the
engenists never dream of. Social and artificial restraints on natural
selection bring about race degeneracy and social decadence.
The eugenists, if they succeeded in their plans, would PRODUCE
A RACE OF HYDROCEPHALOUS PYGMIES.
They think they know better than nature, but they emphasize
ONLY THE INTELLECTUAL TRAITS.
THEY WOULD INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE HEAD AT THE
EXPENfP QF THE REST OF THE BODY. "

we should malign and condemn him.
Wilson should be given every oppor
tunity to make gojd and we believe
this broad, patriotic country will do
so.
Before lower Main Street is accept
ed by the city, the city engineer and
the Street Committee of the council
should make a thorough investigation
of the drainage of the street as there
has been much fault found with this
feature of the new hard surface. The
street being flat the water does not
drain readily.- Much trouble has been
caused on the hard surfaced streets
in such flat towns as Eugene and Al
bany and these cities have been put
to much expense on this account.
Oregon City should look, into this mat
ter at once and force the contractors
to change lower Main Street so that
the water will at least partly drain
off. -
AUTOMOBILES.
"If asked on what stretch, of road
way or pavement the large number of
automobiles were driven in a year,
the average person would unhesitat
ingly name Fifth Avenue, m New York
City, or perhaps one of the ocean
drives near Los Angeles, Cal., or
again, some street in Detroit, whore
a majority of motor cars of the Unit
ed States are built. But they would
be wrong," says Vke-President G. V.
Bennett, of the Willys-Overland Co.,
of Toledo, Ohio, who claims the rec
ord for Lis home city and plant. It
is the contention of Mr. Bennett that
more automobiles running und:r their
own power pass over the short road
way leading into the quadrangle form
ed by the 16 big buildings of the Over
land plant each day than over any
other thoroughfare in the world. And
he quotes figures to prove his asser
tion. "The Overland plamVis turning out
approximately 150 cars a day", says
Mr. Bennett, "though sometimes this
number is larger. The motor of each
of these cars is placed in a testing
chassis and given two thorough tests
before it is passed by the inspectors.
This necessitates four trips for each
of these 150 cars over the road iu
question every day, or a total of 600
trips. Then each of the completed
cars is given a road test, adding 300
to the :iumber pa?!'ng both ways
over the road. Latei these finished
cars are driven on to the loading
platforms, adding li.u mive to th3 i.o
tal. And at the very lowest figwe,
150 delivery and offica cars and tiucks
pass both ways dri lg tbe day. riii.--makes

of patriotic color as viewed from the
hill. Smiling in the glow of a kind-
' ly day and bowing to the plaudits of
the people, the former president of
Princeton University, who rose
through the Governorship of New Jer-
! sey to the highest office in the land,
looked Iiappy.
! Within less than two hours after
his arrival, Mr. Wilson for the first
! time in his life crossed the threshold
i of the White House and grasped the
hand of William Howard Taft, Presi
; dent of the United States for a few
; hours longer. With Mrs. Wilson, the
; President-elect was escorted to the
j home which will be theirs tomorrow,
! by Colonel Spence Cosby. The Pres
! i lent and Mrs. Taft extended cordial
! greeting and ti:e keys to the home
I of Presidents.
Made For Concealment. .
Stick "insectu. which are so called
because of their resemblance to dry
Sticks, have two forelegs, which they
fold over their eyes when disturbed
ami evidently th in U that in so doing
they are lost to view.' The eggs of
these insects take over six months to
hatch. They are only one-tenth of an
inch in their widest part, yet an insect
which at hatching is three-quarters of
an inch iu length is packed into them.
The stick insects destroy the weak
lings by eating their legs.
Cheeky.
"Cheek" in the sense of impudence
is an old term. The earliest quotation
iu Sir James Murray's dictionary is
from Captain Marryat (1S40).. But it
has lately been found in the sixteenth
century records of Galway, iu the west
; of Ireland. The municipal rulers .of
that fighting city the "man from Gal
; way" has become proverbial for pluck
and readiness to defend tbe hottest of
corners decreed that any person giv
ing "cheke" to the mayor should "for-
j feit 100 shillings and have his body put
into prison."
The Hawttos Bill Turtle.
The- tortoise suell taken from the
hawk's bill turtle, which is found in
Bahama waters, is the finest in the
world and realizes the highest prices
when offered for sale in the European
market. The green turtles are also
found . iu tnese waters and are f re
queut.ly shipped alive to tbe United
States for food consumption, chiefly for
soups.
A Pathetic Benefit.
Perhaps one of the saddest of the
many benefits which have been cele
brated at Drury Lane was that given
on June 27. 182S. for Grimaldi, the
greatest clown the stage has known,
when the heartbroken old man was
wheeled on to tbe stage in an arm
chair and hopelessly broke down In
his endeavor to sing his once famous
ditty. "Hot Codlins." The old man's
memory had completely forsaken him.
On that occasion a sum of 1,700 was
realized, which for many years remain
ed a record. St. James' Gazette.
Women and War.
Emotions of the women who remain
at home during a war were expressed
in an odd fashion in Madrid during the
struggle with the United States in the
Spanish-American war. The wr had
never been popular with the people,
who saw no reason why blood should
be shed for colonies from which only
the rich derived benefits. When news
of the defeats of the Spanish reached
Madrid groups of women used to gath
er round the statue of Columbus in the
Puerta de Sol and hurl opprobrious
epithets at him for his folly in having
discovered America. And once they
even tried to drag Columbus from his
pedestal.

TELL OTHERS.
When you want to boost a friend don't
tell him how good he is; tell others.
Washington Post.
That is fine a sermon in a sentence.
Your telling him may give him self
confidence and may give him a swelled
head. It stands about the same chance
of doing harm as good.
But there is no mixed or doubtful re
sult about telling it to others. That
can only result in doing him good. -
Each of us can remember men who
have been started upward by that sort
of boosting.
Some one drops an. incidental re
mark: "Hello: There's young Brown. He's
making good."
Just a mental seed sown, but it takes
root and grows.
A few days later Brown's name is
mentioned in the presence of one who
heard this remark. The associated
ideas work, and he replies:
"Yes: I hear good reports of him."
That seed also falls iu fertile ground.
Meanwhile the friend is not idle. By
a chance sentence here and there he
sings Brown's praises. If wise and
tactful he is careful not to overdo it.
In a short time there is a whole har
vest of good thoughts and words about
young Mr. Brown.
By and by some employer wants a
man for an important place.
"What about this young fellow
Brown?" be muses. "I have heard him
well spokenof."
He investigates, and if he finds noth
ing of moment against the man all
these woifls in his favor have weight
Result Brown receives the offer of
the important place. :
Then it is up to him. If he makes j
good the world is before him. :
He got his chance because a friend :
spoke of his good points to others. !
That method of boosting, or some- j
thing very like it, has been used more .
than any of us probably, imagine. i
Nor has It been set in motion as the
result of collusion. It came about sim
ply and naturally because one man be
lieved in another and wanted to help
him on.
If you would boost your friend, praise
him to others.
