be an odor at times, but declared
that there would be an odor from dis
tilled water if run on top of the
ground. He said there had been no
complaint from any of his neighbors.
"The 121 places in Oregon City
that have been reported as violating
the law, are as sweet as honey com
pared with the proposition that this
committee is trying to put over," said
Mr. Tooze. "I am building another
house and shall build another
septic tank, and if there is any' way
to stop me, I want to know it. The
street superintendent has been direct
ed to extend the outlet pipe to the
lower canyon and he is only waiting
for better weather to do this. This
infamous misrepresentation will not
bluff me for a minute. I have created
no nuisance, hence their is no uni
sance to abate. I will not put a straw
in the way of prosecution and I chal
lenge, the cqmmittee of the Live
Wires to puulisn the 121 cases of the
violation of the law, accompanied
with the names of the violators, over
the signatures of the committee."
When the name of the former city
engineer as the man to whom the
committee had gone for its informa
tion was mentioned, Mr. Tooze said
it was very plain to him where the
foundation for the report had come
from.
Dr. L. A. Morris, in defense of the
committee, explained that a special
sub-committee, consisting of himself,
Dr. L. L. Pickens and Dr. H. S. Mount,
had been named to investigate a
complaint.
"Dr. Pickens went with me," said
Dr. Morris, "and we found a decided
odor. The condition was such that
it ought to be remedied. The former
city engineer, Mir. Montgomery, told
me that before the connection was
made the stench was so bad that the
workmen threantned to quit. We are
not going to fight anyone on personal
grounds, but we are going to publish
facts. We are lookig for violations
and we don't care whether the violat
ors are the most prominent citizens
or the poorest people in the city. We
are not playing favorites and we
stand pat on the report." '
After some discussion participated
in by Mr. Cross, T. W. Sullivan, Dr.
van Brakle, L-. Stipp and J. E. Hedges,
it was stated by Mr. Tooze that he
was satisfied that Dr. Morris was
making a personal fight on him.
This was emphatically denied by the
Doctor.
Finally, after a session lasting un
til after 1:30 o'clock, the Live Wires
adopted Mr. Sullivan's resolution au
thorizing the publication of the names
and locations of the reported viola
tions that had not complied with the
law after one week's notice had been
given. The organization also indorsed
the work of the civic improvement
committee, upon an amendment sub
mitted by Jesse Hazell.
The committee also presented a
supplementary report, declaring its
intention to take steps to proute
offenders. This report follows:

tee made a reinspection of the ground

February 18. We found a number of
places that had already been clean
ed up, but a majority of those men
tioned in our first report have evident
ly not been touched. We took from
our first report a series of five cases
which ' warranted special report to
the health and police committee,
which we made March 1. These cas
es include Nos. 32, 34, 40, 84 and 86
in the original report. In our com

we suggested that unless the proper
authorities secured the removal of
these items which constitute viola

; MOTHERS' PENSIONS.
A short time ago the newspapers re
ported the first mothers' pension or
dered in Philadelphia.
' This is a new thing in America, al
though there has been more or less
agitation in its behalf for the past few
years, ami some progress has been
made in Illinois-and elsewhere.
1 Now comes the welcome news that
mothers' pension legislation is before
the legislatures of many states.
While the idea is new in this coun
try, however, it has been tried with
great success, in Europe.
As advocated in the United States
the mothers' pension is supposed to
cover only cases of actual need where
, the mother has been left a wjdow or
is in indigent circumstances for other
reasons.
The argument in its favor is not only
sentimental, but economic. It is claim
ed on expert authority that it is cheap
er to give the mother a certain stated
amount to look after her little ones
than it would be to keep them in an
institution.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
Besides, it is better for the children.
: Their mother Is their natural pro
tector. It keeps the family together,
i A child needs a mother's love and
care as much as it needs food, cloth
ing and shelter.
j In after years it becomes a better
man or womanbecause of the memory
of a mother's love.
Such a' recollection lends moral stat
ure and spiritual background.
Who ever heard of any one shedding
tears or resolving to reform and lead
a better life over the memory of an
institution? "
I Only the thought of a mother can
' work these spells.
! We give countless millions to the
care of helpless adults, to the Insane,
the very poor and the defective.
Yet these have no future. Neither
are they of any benefit to society.
; Why should we not give to the care
; of the children? They are the citizens
of the future.
There exists as great sentimental
reasons to cherish them as to house
the defective adults. In addition there
.is the powerful economic reason that
every dollar expended for them is more
than repaid in their value to society
Charity for them is not a gift, but
an investment.
I The most businesslike way to make
this investment is to place it in the
hands of their mothers. That plan in
sures the largest return on the money.
! ,Each of ns can help in this worthy
cause by seeing that the legislators of
our respective states exact mothers'
pension legislation.
I If yon think well of it why not write
to voir state senator and representa
tive to th.-n effect?
j Generosity.
j Generosity will win favor with any
j one, especially when it is accompanied
I by humility. Goethe.
PERSISTENT EFFORT.
If you say to yourself, "I will be
a traveler," or "I will be an engi
"neer, or "I will be a statesman ;" if
you never unsay it, if you bend all
your powers in that direction, if you
take advantage of all the helps that
cone in your way and reject all
that do not, you wi I some time
surely reach your goal, for the
world turns aside to let any man
pass who knows whither he is go
