-. To manufacture an automobile that will give fairly good ser
vice with expert supervision is not a very difficult matter. But to
" produce a first-rate automobile, a car that gives uniform and unfail- '
flig satisfaction in the hands of the average user, was left to The
- Willis-Overland Company.
The Overland has been, and is, a. splendid proof of its makers'
conviction that a motor car of sterling qualities can be sold to the
public at a price lower that that demanded by other manufacturers
of similar cars. ' .

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
A RESUME OF MILITANCY.
OREGON CITY, Or., April 4 (Ed
itor of the Enterprise.) Militancy,
according to Webster, is fighting,
combating, or warfare. We cannot
estimate how much the world is in
debted to militant spirits in the past.
Who can deny that it was Jesus
Christ's militancy that makes "Chris
tianity what it is to Jay. Militancy,
when backed by a righteous cause,
has always been a blessing. This
morning's Oregonian says editorially
that the militant suffragettes are lun
atics and plain female criminals.
Have a care Mr. Editor of the Ore
gonian, you may be safe in venting
such thoughtless sentiments with
5000 miles separating you from the
object of pour attack. Such kind of
stuff is persecution pure and simple.
Persecution never killed anything
yet, it boosts it. If you want to boost
a man or woman just tell a . lie on
them and you will do it. It is to be
deprecated that an. organ of such
standing in the community as the
Oregonian would perpetuate such a
cowardly trick. I am realy ashamed
to remain a subscriber. However, we
can protest against any such booma
rang statements and if we stopped
our worthy organ we would be deny
ing ourselves that pleasure at least.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES M. MOFFITT.
Automobile values must be looked at from
several different angles. You must consider
not only the price, but what that price brings
you. You must take into consideration the

POTATO GROWERS
HAVE LUTE
E
There seems to be not the slight
est hope of any improvement in the
potato situation during the remainder
of the present season, so far as the
Pacific Northwest offerings are con
cerned. Special advices received from var
ious points in California and in the
Southwest, as well as' in the middle
West, during the last few days, indi
cate that the future will show no im
provement over the past so far as
the present season is concerned. Ev
erywhere there is a big surplus of po
tatoes and . at all points extremely
low prices are prevailing.
The recent statement of an Idaho
man that consumers were forced to
pay several times as much for pota
toes as the grower received fortnem
is taken with a big smile by those
who are at all conversant with the
situation. The fact that the potatoes
were purchased in Idaho and hauled
all the way to the Middle West with
a high freight rate, made no differ
ence in the estimate of the Idaho
man. Because he secured but 50c
for his potatoes, and the Middle West
consumer paid $1.25, indicated to
him that he was robbed of the differ
ence. After the freight rate was de
ducted there would be but fractional
profit on the purchase by the whole
sale buyer and retailer. The freight
charge was entirely eliminated by
the estimate of the grower.

County Court rooms by Circuit Judge
Campbell and County Judge Beatie
for meeting purposes.
Judge Beatie said Friday night that
he- would attend the meeting and
make a statement if called upon. Com
missioners Mattoon and Blair also
said they would attend. It is probable
that all the other- county officials will
be present. All of them say that they
welcome the fullest investigation and
that the persons attending the meet
ing will be given all information de
sired. Judge Beatie, it is understood,
has prepared a written statement,
giving figures . to prove that the
charges regarding bridge construction
are unfounded. E. C. Hacket, expert
accountant, who is experting the
books of all county officers will not
be able to make a complete report
owing to the fact that he began the
work only a few days ago. He was
employed by the county court.
That the meeting will be interest
ing is assured, and all Oregon City
taxpayers are requested to attend. The
officials who are to be investigated
are confident they can prove to the
satisfaction of the taxpayers that the
finances of the county are being ex
pended economically and to the best
advantage of all. - , 1

FOL DE ROL CLUB
HAS DELIGHTFUL BALL
One of the most delightful dances
given in Oregon City for a long time
was that given by the Fol De Rol
Club Friday evening. About 85 or
90 couples attended. Olsen's six
piece orchestra furnished the music.
Many Portland couples attended and
all pronounced the dance to be a
great success. Busch's Hall was beau
tifully decorated with Japanese lan
terns and greens. A feature of the
entertainment was , the moonlight
dances. The lights around the walls
were covered with Japanese lanterns
and were not lowered. The soft,
subdued light that was thrown upon
the dancers was beautiful. A small
spot light was operated from the bal
cony upon the dancers. Punch was
served. The patronesses were: . Mrs.
L. L. Pickens, Mrs. M. D. Latourette,
Mrs. John Lewthwarte, Jr., and Mrs.
W. J. Cole.
"This Indenture."
The pl.rase "this indenture," which
appears so often iu legal papers, is of
curious origin. In the early days parch
ment was used for legal documents be
cause it was cheaper than paper. The
leaves were not cut evenly, but scal
loped with a knife, becoming "indent
ed." Papers are now cut on straight
lines, but "this indenture" still re
mains.
Detrimental Suggesti veness.
