ADMITTING Some days ago The En THE CHARGE terprise expressed the opinion that M J. Brown, editor of The Courier, was abcaecate to his own pettishness. In the last issue of his paper Mr. Brown quite playfully admits it editorially, and then on the front page of his sheet proves it 'by deliberately printing the inexcusable statement that the members of the county court had rebated their own taxes. Just to enlighten Mr. Brown as to the meaning of "obcaecate," he will find in any good and complete dictionary that the word signifies blind. The unsupported charge that the members of the county court have rebated their own taxes proves, to any fair minded man, that Mr. Brown is not only blind to his own little ness, but that he so biased in his at tacks upon the county commision,er3 that it matters not to him whether his charges be true or false. A political fight, even if unwise and founded upon personal spleen, will excuse many things; but it will not excuse such an unwarranted it tack as The Courier makes upon Messrs. Beatie, Blair and Magoon in its last issue. In trying to explain his innocence in the matter, Mr. Brown has said that he printed the substance of the tax-rebate charge as a part of the county records in a pre vious issue, that he did not read this matter, but that one of his subscrib ers called his attention to it, and that The Stuff Successful Men Are Made of - The International Correspondence Schools are NOT closed in summer. All of our truly ambitious students those who think more about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to earn, "than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study devote a part of each week to their studies all summer. A student who will only study in cold weather punishes himself. Why? Because he takes two or three times as long, in preparing him self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file to make several very large books, the general purport of which is: "Oh, if I had only taken up that Course when I first wrote you about it! I have just missed a fine position, at largely increased wages, be cause I wasn't prepared to fill it. I lacked just the special knowledge I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never have to be.coaxed to study in summer NOV. They knew what delay costs. Why not profit by. THEIR experience, instead of taking the same bitter medicine yourself? Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in his studies doesn't know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa tion will have made his services of more value to his employer. It is no' harder to read an Instruction Paper in summer than to read a news paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from reading the daily news? The man who promises himself that he will enroll next fall is only trying to deceive his conscience. He may not know it, but he is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to do what one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man. A man of weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work, and when employed, it will always be at low wages. He knows that a knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more; yet he stills his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man isn't truly, am bitious. He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work, and draws small pay all his life. Are YOU one of that kind. Are YOU truly ambitious to earn more and make sonfething of yourself? If you wont study In summer you are NOT. If you prefer to fret about hoc weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT. The dangerous habit of "putting off" has ruined the lives of mora promising young men than drunkenness. It is so easy to say "yes, it's what I need; I'll stiart tomorrow next week some other time." The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is going to begin "tomor row;" the success begins today. ; . The men who "get there'' are those that study for self-improvement in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the weather keep them in inferior posiions, at small wages. They don't make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up and doing. They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and body to gether either. - , x Which Kind of a Man Are You?

Dillman & Howland therefor he commented upon it. Ask ed how it happened that he printed , such a thing as a part of the count7 j records, when no such statement was j in the county record. Mr. Brown maintains a discreet silence, and ad mits that he cannot explain it as he j destroyed the couy furnished him of the county proceedings. Such excuses will not do. Especial ly will they not do when this charge is the climax of a long series of at tacks upon the county court, all of which have had the same animus. The county proceedings never con tained any statement to the effect that taxes had been rebated to the members of the county court, and Mr. Brown must have been aware of this, for his eagle eye would doubtless have found it long ago, had it been there, when he was searching for flaws in the proceedure with which to bolster up his charges of malfaes ance in office. Had there been any such record The Courier would have blazzoned it. seven columns wide in screaming headlines, and Mir. Brown knows it. The charge, therefor, is not only absolutely false and unsupported, but it is pretty close to deliberate mali ciousness. Mere backing down as in many of the other charges to which The Courier has given publicity will not repair the error, in this case. In fact it is difficult . to see what can be done in the matter, savs for Mir. Brown to admit that in his blind and spiteful fury against men who never did him any harm he has overstepped the borders of even news paper license. Blind devotion to a cause may be a soul-satisfying pro ceeding, and may make a man fancy that he is a martyr in the cause of righteousness; but even Mr. Brown's blindness should be banished by this piece of cowardly attack. It is time for him to cut loose from his crew of disgruntled advisors, and to publish a newspaper instead of a splenetic pamphlet. By the publication in The Courier of the intimation that members of the county court have paid themselves back out of the public funds money MORNING ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JUNE ' that they as citizens have paid in as taxes, The Courier stands in a very precarious position.' In brief it H liable for libel criminal libel, if ths apparent animus of the matter be con sidered. The slur cast upon the com missioners is more than any men in public office should be called upon to bear in fact its vileness is just about the limit of rabid, blind, unreasoning sensationalism. Particularly is this so, as there is not an iota of circum stance upon which the charge could have been rightfully placed. If t-iis is the stamp of proceedings and thought behind the recall movement there will be no need of a vote to de cide the matter; fairmindedness will itself defeat the plot. WATER TO One hundred and twelve DRINK years ago today Philadel phia patted itself upon the back over its water supply, for on June 27, 1801 the City of Brotherly LoVe first quaffed from its myriad faucets the typhoid-laden water of the Schuylkill river. Slnc'e then Philadelphia has been drinking this water when it had to, and the rest of the time has bee l furnishing dividends for firms selling distilled water. Also it has been spending some millions for filtra tion plants and other methods de signed to clear the fiver water on its contamination. Philadelphia is a long way from Oregon City, and never in its history was the water of the Willamette as much of a menace to this city as i3 the water of the stream that washes Philadelphia's sewers and quenche3 the thirst of her poor.' But neverthe less, Oregon City ha had enough cf river water as a beverage, and is now seeking another supply. The last ef fort to find such a source of water has been a test well to the northeast of the city, and there seems to bs a gen eral idea about fown that, the fluid found in this well is merely Willam ette river seepage. Whether this is so or not, tests soon to be made by the special water committee will show. If it is so, Oregon City does not want this water. Elsewhere in thes? columns will be found a report in re gard to this well and the popular idea regarding it; and also the statemen: of the chairman of the special water committee. It will be well for citi zens to consider this matter careful ly, and to sain the fullest information upon it, for it is now the plan of the water committee to submit the ma ter to a vote of the people. If there is reason to suspect that this well is tapping river seepage, the chances are that the people will not want it. If, on the other hand, the water supply is not from the river, - the people should approve the well without pre judice, and thank the committee for its untiring efforts in the public be half. The councilmen on the .com mittee have worked hard and earnest ly for the public welfare, and if they have succeeded in uncovering a sup ply of unquestionably good water, the greatest of credit should ' be given them. Fairness to the people de mands that there be no doubt about the water; and fairness to the com mittee demands that their labors should be received with gratitude and due credit. The conynittee is trying to do the right thing, and its report should be regarded as the best that it can accomplish.
