A LOCAL Attention is once again
BENEFIT called to Oregon City's
good fortune in being located on a
Bite that is not yearly inundated with
backwater from the Columbia. This
time It is a group of men and women
from the Middle West who note the
superiority of this city's location
Bankers and capitalists from the two
DaTsotas, touring the Northwest to see
what they could see, tore themselves
away from Portland's delights ' and
semi-flood for hall a day and journey
ed by boat to Oregon City. " All the
way up the river they looked . upon
flooded fields, flooded industries,
flooded gardens and homes, and won
dered why it was that the Oregon
country would permit euch things.
And then they came in sight of a
, V ledge of high land, dry and yielding
an abundance of good crops, and just I
beyond the start of this they saw
spread out in safety the business and
manufacturing districts of this city.
Naturally when they went ashore up
on docks that were not knee-deep n
water, and rode in automobiles along
streets that were not being washed
with waves from passing vessels, they
commented upon the fact. Their first
impression of Oregon City was favor
able, and as they went back into the
agricultural country lying behind and
above the city, their enthusiasm in
creased. They had already seen the
"sunken gardens" around Portlai.1,
and had come to believe as half true
Cultivate In Children
Their Instinct to
"Make Believe"
By CONSTANCE D'ARCY, Originator of Plays and Pageants
For Children
IF we educate the children of today to CARE FOR THE
BEST DRAMA we shall be educating the audience of to
morrow, and then there will not be the hue and cry about the
nonappreciation of good plays as there is today.
CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT THE POETRY OF STEVENSON AND
LONGFELLOW WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE IN THE HOPE THAT
WHEN THEY ARE OLDER THEY WILL LOVE SHAKESPEARE AND
SHELLEY, SO WHY SHOULDN'T THEIR DRAMATIC TASTE BE EDU
CATED AS WELL? 1 BELIEVE THAT THAT IS QUITE AS IMPOR
TANT. As I have- studied youngsters and tried to find out what most ap
pealed to them, I have discovered that with the INSTINCT OF
"MAKING BELIEVE," the natural dramatic feeling striving for
expression, they have certain definite likes and dislikes. For one
thing, although they are not always enthusiastic about stories with a
moral, they do like plays with a moral in fact, they seem to prefer
them, in which they are quite unlike grownups. And it seems to me
that ACTING PIAYS LN SCHOOL OR CLUB is a pastime
' which has much to recommend it.
It is the-girl instinct always to want to "DRESS UP" ' LN
GROWNUPS' CLOTHES, but did you ever see a small boy parad
ing up and down the street in his father's swallowtail coat? He would
be ashamed to bo seen in it. But give him an INDIAN COS-

the jest about Oregonians and web
feet.
These men will go back to their
homes in the east and will tell what
they saw out here. Because they are
citizens of high standing in their own
communities, their word will be be
lieved above the information contain
ed in various "booster booklets" sect
out by the cities which they have vis
ited. In none of these booklets will
they find mention of annual floods
unpleasantries like that are never
mentioned by Commercial clubs. And
people in the Dakotas, looking for lo
cations out here, will put two and
two together, and will make four.
They will find that the things said
about Clackamas county haVe all
borne verification by the men and
women who made this trip; and they
will find that some of the things fiat
they will read about other counties
have not borne verification in the
matter of the annual inundation. Ob
serving this these peole will . think
of Clackamas county with favor.
This city and its surrounding terri
tory have been fortunately provided
for by nature not only in the way
of resource, but also in the . line of
protection from floods. This fact is
a subject that might be made much of
by local boosters, particularly as but
few other communities in this corner
of Oregon can point to the same ad
vantage. Oregon City is located above
the flood line, above the danger zone.
The country tributary to Oregon City
is even at a greater elevation. Hence
it is still further protected. These are
things that prospective colonists
ought to be told about; they are
things that home-seekers consider be
fore moving to the West; and they
are therefore things that it pays to
talk about.
NEW LAW IN Illinois has granted
ILLINIOIS its women the right to
vote for many offices, but in so doing
has explicitly barred them from cast
ing a ballot for others. The new leg
islative enactment, in fact, is one of
those weird and wonderful things
that often come to pass in American
government. It accomplishes in the
main the thing that was desired, but
out of- a peculiar inconsistency it
spoils the joy of victory by naggingly
taking away from the victorious a few
unimportant things that should have

United States Senator Lee S. Overman of North Carolina was cinurman
of the subcommittee of the senate committee on Judiciary which started the
hunt after the alleged "Insidious" lobby brought to public attention by Presi
dent Wilson. When the Investigation began June 2 It was planned toconflne'lt
within ten days, but the names of so many witnesses were handed to Senator
Overman to be heard after the ninety-six senators had answered the regula
tion questions that it was thought probable that the inquiry would be extend

aroused much Interest all over the country.
been grouped in with the others.
For instance, Illinois women may
now vote for presidential electors,
but may not vote for United States
senators or congressmen. They may
express their preference for members
of the board of assessors, but they
may not vote governors. They may
vote for mayors in the different cities,
but they may not vote for sheriffs or
coroners. On the whole the new law
gives them the right to vote for more
important officers of the executive
branch of government than . other
wise; but doubtless the women would
also like to be able to select 'their
state legislators a duty which is le
nied them.
It would be interesting to know
what influences framed the measure
that gives the women of Illinois this
weird assortment of powers, and that
so limits them in other ways. It is
hardily to be believed that it was an
accidental choice of offices that was
turned over to their gentle and up
lifting tendencies. More likely ' is it
that there was a desire to keep safe
from their power certain ' positions
which have long been a part of that
peculiar spoils system that has made
Illinois famous. Yet the women are
reported to be satisfied with what
they have received; and if such is the
case, possibly it is because they pre
fer half a loaf to none at all.
Oregon women will watch with in
terest the progress of events hence
forth in the big state that lies be
tween the great rivers and the great
lakes. It will watch the efforts of the
women of Illinois to obtain a com
plete right of suffrage, and the efforts
of those opposed to this. Perhaps in
the continuation of the fight for the
vote the "cat in the bag" will ap
pear; and then the rest of the worM
will know, why such an odd law was
passed as that" which has just receiv
