CLACKAMAS It is interesting to
STILL LEADS note that the first
raspberries of the season to appear
in Portland came from a ranch im
mediately adjacent to Oregon City. It
Is still fresh within the memory of all
that the biggest 'berries grown in Ore
gon this year came from a Clackamas
ranch. It is also well to recall that
the largest salmon 'are caught at the
falls of the Willamette, and that the
greatest outlook for diversified farm
products in the state this year is also
a Clackamas county possession. Fore
casts which are reliable, and which
have been prepared for the state hor
ticulture department, are to the effect
that Clackamas county will grow
more things, and more kinds of things
this year, than any other division in
Oregon.
Looking back a year or so, it is re
called that of all the Oregon coun
ties, Clackamas made the best display
at the great Middle States land shows.
And it was a display that disappoint
ed nobody who came here to see if
the county really could and did pro
duce the things placed on exhibition.
In other vfords, Clackamas county
told the truth, about herself, and as
a result she has profited largely and
in many ways.
Clackamas county may not be very
expert at blowing her own horn. She
may lack a complicated press bureau
that sends out to all the rest of the
country startling boost literature
which is more remarkable than it is
truthful. She may not break into
print every time a box of apples aro
sent away; and she may not ship her
roses to fancy balls in New York just
for the sake of the advertisement. But
nevertheless she does things, and a'ii
Majority of American
Audiences Are Easily
Deceived
Professor M. V. O'SHEA,
"I H NATION CANNOT PROSPER WHEN THE MAJORITY OF ITS
Ln PEOPLE ARE SO EASILY DECEIVED AS OUR AMERICAN
jf AUDIENCES ARE. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE PARTICU-
LARLY-PRONE TO BELIEVE MYSTICAL EXPLANATIONS OF
EVERY DAY PHENOMENA.
t t
There are dozens of new pseudo science8 established every year in
America. A considerable proportion of the vaudeville shows are
based on "mysteries" of one sort or another. Through special investi
gations it has been found that a large number of men and women in
this country MAKE THEIR LIVING BY PLAYING ON THE
CREDULITIES OF THE PEOPLE. There are regular schools
that teach people these "mysteries," many of which have to do with
"mind reading" or with so called "superhuman" bodily powers.
The average American audience is so READY TO LOOK FOR
SUPERNATURAL EXPLANATIONS that they cannot detect
what is actually occurriner when a man or woman is "rpndino- the
minds" of subjects.,. There is one remedy for this deplorable attitude
of mind, and that is TRAINING IN SCIENTIFIC METHODS.

her share of the sort of publicity that
counts.
This county is truly exceptionly
well favored in many ways. It em
braces a variety of land and a variety
of climates. It contains lowland an'
bighareas, and in each section It
raises a special and of crops excep
tionally well. Its timber resources
are tremendous, and its agricultural
possibilities are just beginning to be
appreciated. It s a garden spot with
a superb climate, and it is such a
place as Nature must have had in
mind when she was making an ideal
homesite for a progressive people. In
short Clackamlas county has so mucil
that speaks for itself that she doesn't
have to get up and yell to atttract at
tention. People who want the bsst
of everything just naturally coma
here and get it and that it at it
should be. '
A iMATTER OF Next month there is
DIFFERENCE to be held a confer
ence in this city upon social and
moral hygiene. Coming just at thU
time, the subject will probably receive
considerable attention mainly because
the becoming effective of a law pass
ed by the last legislature has brought
it very much to the front. This law.
which provides that no marriage li
cense shall be issued until the man
obtain proof of a clean bill of health,
has roused the state press as have
but few other enactments of t'ie
solons. Some papers praise it
strongly, others are not at all enlisted
in its behalf. Among these latter
may be mentioned The Oregonian,
which sees in the measure little else
than 1 opportunity for physicians and
justices of the peace to graft.
The stand of The Oregonian . and
others opposed to the law is some
what extraordinary. The Enterprise
has not observed that doctors, in gen
eral, were In the habit of grafting
when opportunity offered; or has it
noted any great preponderance of
justices of the peace similarly in
clined. While it is true that the law
may have defects, it; is also true that
the measure was framed to abate a
condition which is fast becoming per
ilous not in Oregon particularly, but
everywhers. Washington some years
ago enacted an even more strict law.
and later modified it to some extent
at the earnest behest of its citizens;
but Washington still requires that

Jack Ferguson, the Human
Submarine, Nearly a Hero
Photos by American Press Association.
JACK FERGUSON, the human submarine, came pretty near becoming a
hero. 4.8 it was. he got on the first page of some of the newspapers in
and near New Tort. But as it turned out Jack was glad he remained
only a near hero. You see, it was this way: Jack', who Is a diver, went
down in the Central park reservoir. New York, to see what was wrong with
one of the gates, which bad been out of order for the last sixteen years and
which somebody In official life decided at last needed repairing. He came up
in a hurry and reported that the rush of water through the gate was so great
that his life was in danger. Then the story of the diver who had been caught
In rervoir at Boon ton. N. J., In the same way and had lived for two days
was recalled. Despite this. Jack went down a second time, taking precautions
to guard himself against the rush of water He was successful. He found
that the gate was simply jammed, and he came up without trouble.
eases which would be apt to cripple,
in one waiy or another, children born
of the marriage.
The trouble with those who com
plain of the new Oregon law is that
they view it only as an embarassment
to the contracting palrties of a mar
riage, and not as a safeguard to chil
dren unborn. Probably the spreading
of the knowledge of social and moral
hygiene among the public will result
in a different feeling towards the
measure and its provisions; for the
average American, when once aroused
to the menace of moral uncleanliness,
will not want to have his own sins,
or the sins of his neighbor, passed
down to the next generation. This
subject is one that a false modesty
has too long kept out of the public
mind. Real modesty does not consist
of forcing suffering upon those who
are yet to come into the world.

to posterity and to the world to

and personal partialities, to dis

point, and. in a genuine spirit 6f
compromise and concession, to
unite heart and hand to pre
serve for ourselves the blessings
of free, government, wisely, hon
estly and faithfully administer

from our fathers, to transmit
them to our children? Should we
not subject ourselves to eternal

Men who . become suddenly rich
should be judged leniently. They have
many temptations from which the resl
of us are. happily, delivered. Mr.
John Johnson, a man of this class.'was
desirous to be known as of a literary
turn of mind, and to that end proceed
ed to purchase a library. One of his
purchases was an old dictionary, which,
being somewhat out of repair, was sent
to the binder. When it was returned
to the purchaser he found printed on
its back the words, "Johnson's Diction
ary." The slight threw him into a fu
rious passion, and he demanded of. the
messenger:
"Why didn't he put the full name on
'John Johnson's Dictionary?"
