THE FALLACY In considering the
OF AVERAGES question of the suf
ficiency of wages for women we are
apt to fall victims to the doctrine
of averages. That insufficient wages
create a condition which leads to la
mentable results is conceded by all
sides. Those results often come, we
are only too well aware, when wages
are' insufficient for actual living, but
not for much else in the way of
amusement and neat or tasteful
dressing. But it is the forced results
of an actual insufficiency of wages to
support life in decency and in the
manner the nature of the employ
ment ripmands which are beine con
sidered just now, and they can not
be dealt with on the average princi
ple. The wage of each girls stands
by itself. It is the only one she can
use. The girl drawing $5 a week
may conbine with the one drawing
$20 statistically, but she can not do
so actually. Se must live on her
own $5. Therefore, talk of the aver
age wages paid in an establishment
does not reach the heart of the mat
ter. '
The figures quoted in reports of
the Chicago investigation go to show
that $8 a week is an absolute mini
mum for mere existance of a girl
living entirely upon her own income
They seem to make no provisions for
clothing, shoes find hats. Girls natur
ally desire to be neatly and becom
ingly dressed. It takes money to buy
hats, suits, waists, shoes and the
long list of things necessary in a
girl's wardrobe. This can scarcely
be done by those who receive any
thing below the average. Fortunate
ly for most of these, they live at
home and are not entirely dependent
upon their own earnings for these
things a woman must have which
are not included in the schedule of
necessary expenses, it is uie niuui
tunate girl who does not have such
a ' home to supplement her income
who must be considered in detei min
ing the sufficiency of wages.
It seems clear that out of this in
vestigation and discussion must come
a generally accepted standard of t'ae
necessary minimum wage, below
which no girl who supports herself !
can be expected to go and remain
the girl she undoubtedly earnestly !
desires to be. To her no doctrine of
averages can be applied. There is a
Joint below which a girl's wages
should not fall. If this point can be
definitely determined and if employ
ers can be induced to adopt it as a
standard, something which the kind
ly and earnest expressions of most of
them indicate is likely, much good
will result from the investigation and
agitation.-
H. W. Striebig, the meat dealer of
this city, was the only Oregon City
man present at the hanging of George
and Charles Humphrys, convicted of
killing Mrs. Eliza Griffith, of Philo
math, at Salem Saturday morning.
Mr. Striebig several weeks ago asked
Sheriff Mass to obtain for him per
mission to attend the execution, ihe
authorities at Salem informed the
sheriff that he would have to accom
pany the meat merchant to that city
the day of the executions to identify
him. Sheriff Mass accordingly went
with Mr. Striebig to Salem Friday
night. The sheriff did not attend the
hanging. Mr. Striebig says the work
was done expediously and as hu
manely as such work can be done.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC
Knowing the great majority of the
citizens of Oregon City are personally
interested in the civic improvement
and betterment of our city, the un
dersigned in behalf of their respec
tive committees acting jointly, wish
to express their gratification at the
way in which many of the property
owners have cooperated in removing
various unsanitary and unsightly
conditions.
We believe that those who have not
already cleaned up, will do so when
they realize that the community as
a whole expects them to act in ac
cordance with a general desire to
make our town one in which we can
take honest pride. On the other
hand, those who wilfully disregard
the rights of their fellow-neighbors
in - neglecting to Remedy conditions
which menace our common interests
will be dealt with strictly as city or
dinaces direct.
To express our good faith to the
people in doing our duty as we rec
ognize it, we intend to see that the
recently organized garbage collection
system is maintained and expanded
as conditions warrant, and to pusr.
forward numerous other -plans tend-
! ing toward a permanent improvement
of the sanitation and healthfulness
of our city.
That this work may be speedily
and thoroughly accomplished, we ask
the hearty endorsement and coopera-
j tion of all right minded and progres-
sive citizens in a united effort to
i give to Oregon City the position its
natural advantages easily make pos
sible a beautiful city of well-kept,
healthy homes.

mittee. J. A. VAN BRAKLE,

"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER." A little knowledge is not a dan
gerous thing. -It was a dangerous thing to tyrants and oppressors to
those who wanted to monopolize rights that belongbd to the ignorant.
As long as the people could be kept ignorant, so long would usurped
authority last. Thii9 the so called "ruling class" invented the motto,
"A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING,"
because even a little knowledge frees the mind from dependence on
others. We are free, just in the degree that we know. .
