PASSING The great American game
THE BUCK of poker has been re
sponsible for many of the things that
today form part of the typical char
acteristics of people of the West; but
perhaps it has brought about more
perfection in the art of bluffing and
passing the buck than in anything
else. Bluffing is too well-known a
national habit to require description
here; and it is only for those un
familiar with poker terms that it is
said th?it "passing the buck" is the
same thing as "getting out from un
der," or in plain English, shifting the
responsibility.
For instance, when at Wednesday
. evening's spectacular council meeting,
Councilman Tooze answered certain
inquiries made by Councilman Al-
' bright in regard to an article printed
in a Portland newspaper by saying
that he forgave The Enterprise re
porter for. writing it, he was passing
the buck And when The Enterprise
reporter, in turn, declared that the
article was written in Portland by a
Portland newspaper man who ha 1
seen Councilman Tooze, he was also
passing the buck The chief differ
ence was that the second journey of
the buck put it in the right place
This is merely mentioned as an illus
tration.
To go further. At the same, couu
. cil meeting there was considerable
said about Oregon City's water, and
its source of supply. The Enterprise
did its best to truthfully chronicle the
main features of that discussion with
out indicating any bias. Lack of tim,
and also the inappropriateness of the
place, mads it impossible, however,
for one phase of the discussion to be
Feeble Mindedness Would Vanish
With Better Environments
By GILBERT K. CHESTERTON, Engln Author
JUST as the old woman in the cottage might have hoen silent from
disappointment and hated children fro:n liitterness and yet have
been marked as a witch, so the testing of the feeble minded" is TOO
LOOSE and leaves out many of the complexities of life. '
A lad of seventeen may be an irresponsible inoon' calf.'' .'It may be
hereditary, but it may be all sorts of thinpssom-i im.es shyness," some
times genius, sometimes just a pose. . '', . ."
Nearly all of us can remember a ime when parent and scbooh
teachers thought us not only very STI ' U but quite HOPELESSLY
SO, - and thought it justly, and almost every one of us knows that he is
still on some point startUngly below the mental average. :. -.
-.... Take me, for instance. I have a good ineiifory for form and physical,
proportion, so that I could draw from recollection. 1 have a good eye
'ior distance and direction, but in the third sense "of proportion the
sense of the passage of time 1 am" almost an idiot. 1 can describe
scenes and incidents of my recent life, accurately, but whether they Tiap
pened a week or a year ago I haven't an idea. Yet I know: I SHAN'T
BE SEGREGATED, AND . I KNOW WHY I SHAN'T BE.

Dillman & Howland
more than mentioned. This subject
was brought up by Councilman Hol
man, who remarked that quite disre
garding the actual status of the wa
ter found on the Englebrecht tract, it
would be well-nigh imlpossible to con
vince the people of Oregon City that
this was a good source of supply.
"Even if the water is the purest in
the world," said Councilman Holman,
' you will have to show the people
that it is, and you will have to keen
on showing them every day in the
year."
The Enterprise believes that the
members of the special water com
mittee of the council are doing their
level best to get all the information
possible regarding this question of
water. It believes that the several
men are working desperately hard to
gather statistics and information , re
garding all the possible sources of
supply; and it accepts the declara
tion of Mr. Tooze, the chairman of
the committee, that his only aim in
so directing the work is to be able to
present a complete report to the cit
izens, and to permit them to decide
what they want. ,
Bearing all this in mind, however,
it seems to be a very general truth
that Oregon City people, as a whole,
doubt the advisability of continuing
further investigations on the Engle
brecht tract, or anywhere upon the
lowlands lying along -the Willamette
and Clackamas rivers. Mr. Scott,
who is drilling the well, says that tho
vein of water there struck may be
seepage either from the rivers or
from one of the lakes in this section;
and while he declares that the natural
gravel filter will purify the water, it
is an established scientific fact that
gravel will not clear water of the in
finitesmal disease germs that cause
typhoid and other diseases. As a
source of wafer supply ought to be
protected from contamination, and
as the slough lands cannot be so
protected more especially as two
railroad lines and a county road cross
them the people seem to be justi
fied in mistrusting . this possible
source of supply.
Tacoma has recently completed a
two-millior-dollar pipe line, only to
find that it is useless because its
source of supply r is not protected
against contamination. Tacoma is
now going to spend another half mil
lion protecting the head of its pipe
line. Tacoma is doing this upon the
advice of the Washington state board
of health, and upon the recommenda
tion of scientists who know whersof
they speak. But Oregon City, even
OREGON CITY,
for half a million dollars, could not
protect the possible sources of sup
ply of the underground flows ' that
feed the Englebrecht wells..
With this as the state of affairs,
and with scientific knowledge to back
it up, it floes not seem just right for
the special water committee toCpass
the buck in this matter of a source of j
supply up to the people. Mir. Tooze
says the committee will .merely lay
before the people its findings. -It
ought to do more. It ought to make
recommendations; and it ought hot,
under any circumstance to include
the Englebrecht property in its list.
The water there, filtered by gravel as
it may be, is no better than the pres
ent water Oregon City is consuming
which is also filtered. The people,
while they have the right to choose
their own water, and while they
should exericse that right, ought not
to have the buck parsed up to them
in a matter that requires scientific
knowledge and analysis. The ques
tionable purity of the water in the
second test well ought not to be left
to the people it ought to be settled
by Mr. Tooze and his committee.
TECHNICALITIES Attorneys are
usually engaged to look after the 'n
terests of their clients, most ofter be
terests of their clients, most often be
the case, attorneys often take advan
tage of technicalities of the law as a
means of saving their clients from
punishment that should be meted out
to them. There is a growing feeling
among the better part of the legal
profession, however, that hiding be
hind technicalities is a poor sort of
business. .
Persons who attended the trial of
the mill rioters, who disturbed tne
peace on the 10th day of June by forc
ing a number of local industries to
close down, had an example of this
sort of thing Thursday, when an at
torney for the indicted rioters iold
the jury that they could not convic'
his clients because the evidence did
not show that any of them had be.i
technically guilty of riot. As the law
defines it, there can be no riot unless
at least three persons act together to
bring about a disturbance of the
peace. The attorney for the indicted
rioters claimed that no evidence had
been introduced to show that any
three of his clients acted together to
disturb the peace.
Yet the fact remains that three of
Oregon City's mills were forced to
close down by interference on the
part of outside persons with their op
erations. Damage was done in tha
mills. There was something going on
that might well be called a riot. In
view of what acutlly happened, it
seems to be going a long ways to get
around the law to declare that no
crime was committed at that time un
less evidence could be brought to
light to show that at least three men
had acted together in the disturb
ance. Such a defense is based upon
a technicality; such a defense is a
violation of the principles of justice.
Little Journeys
This is the time of year when
nearly everyone is planning some
kind of trip. Usually the longer
the trip the plsasanter the antici
pation of it is.
But there are certain kinds of
journeys that are not classed as
"pleasure trips" when the weath
er is hot. These journeys are the
necessary shopping excursions.
Two women were overheard
talking in the shopping district
early one morning of this past
week. One of them said, "I wish
I could have stayed at home to
day. I have a list of ten things
I must buy, and I know it is go
ing to take me until closing time
to get them all."
"I have a list of fourteen arti- .
cles," the other replied, "but I ex
pect to be home by noon."'
"How can you manage it?"
said the first.
: "Easily erioiigh.I looked over
. the newspapers and by going
through the advertisements care
. fully I was. able to plan a regular
route for my trip. I know just
! what shops I am going to and
what I shall buy in each one."
This wise woman by her intell
igent forethought made hsr shop
ping trip a pleasant "little jour
ney." No one can afford not to
follow her example in reading .
thoroughly the advertisements in
the good newspapers when so
much time and nerve-fag can be ;
saved by doing so. .

CLOG THE BASES ; FIRST;
PASS THE SLUGGERS.
Manager Stahl aud the Red
Sox say there is but one way to
disrwse of such dangerous bats
men as Ty Cobb and Joe Jack
son. As Sam Crawford of the
Tigers bats before Cobb and is
a comparatively sjow runner, the
world's harapions believe that
by walking him and then pass
ing Cobb the latter would be un
able to steal bases or hit safely.
This scheme applied to Turner,
who precedes Jackson in the
Cleveland batting order," would
be equally successful. The Bean
Eaters outlined this strategy re
cently without smiling.
All In tho Size.
"And now," said the grade teacher,
closing a lesson in fractions, "who can
tell me how many quarters in a whole?"
A small, begrimed - band was raised,
the teacher saw it, and awaited the
answer from Tommyr "Why," said he
with great assurance. 1t depends on
the size of the hole." Indianapolis
