South American patriot, died. Born
February 25, 1778.
1896 Gold discovered in the Klon
dyke. THE RECALL A mafcrity of the
ELECTION voters who went to th!
polls Saturday voiced the opinion that
R. B. Beatie and N. Blair should be
recalled from the office of county
judge and county commissioner, and
that they should ha replaced by H. S.
Anderson and J. W. Smith. As a
friend of both the former members of
the county court The Enterprise re
grets that such has been the result;
but as a publication devoted to the
advancement of the interests of Clack
amas county, this paper greets the in
coming officials with an opan hand
and an unprejudiced mind. It has
never, throughout the campaign, said
anything that would in any way re
flect upon either of the incoming of
ficials, and as far as this paper is
aware the incoming county judge is
an upright man, who will do the best
that he can in the position into which
he is stepping.
. As to the election being the result
of the campaign, The Enterprise teels
that the result was largely due to the
secret and constant undermining of

IN AMERICAN CITIES THE FAILURE OF. THE GOVERNMENT TO

LED TO , DISASTROUS RESULTS. THE GOVERNMENT' OF OUR

ERALLY RECOGNIZED THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF OUR CITIES IS
THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND LEAST EFFICIENT IN THE WORLD.
WE PAY MORE AND RECEIVE LESS THAN THE CITIES OF OTHER
COUNTRIES.
Inefficient government might be tolerated if it represented the peo

The general atmosphere of politics surrounding the average city hall
f is not favorable to the adoption of systematic and orderly business
methods. We cannot expect to secure a prpper system of street cleaning
if every laborer and team has to be selected because of Republican or

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
tha reputations of the formar incum
bents by those who framed tha recall
agitation in the first place, and who
for the past six months haw, been
steadily and persistently working to
poison the minds cf a ma jor portion of
the residents of this county against
Mr. Beatie and Mr. Blair. As to these
leaders, The Enterprise has alraady
expressed its opinion in these columns
and i' has no reason at this time to
alter is views. In dsfending them
selves against the published charges j
made against them, Mr. Beatie and
Mr. Blair were powerless to combat
the underhand gossip that was a'so
being constantly circulated, for to
have taken note of such matters
would only have served to reduce
them to the level of those who were
responsible for the base allegations
that were passed about in secluded
nooks from mouth to ear, and that
never saw the light of publicity even
in the organ of the recall.
Such of these stories as came to
this office were promptly exposed.
The canard about the Canemah road
way having been built at county ex
pense was such a tale. The false
hood about the promise of a bridge
for another precinct was another ex
ample of the pettiness and baseness of
those who were working to drag down
the county officials for whom they
had a personal grudge. However,
The Enterprise heard but a few of
these tales that were noised about in
the semidarkness of the recall, and
was therefor unable to stem the flood
of fseling that was carefully nutured
against Mr. Beatie and Mr, Blair.
However, the past has gone by, and
the people of Clackamas county have
to deal only with the present and the

future. They look to Jud?e' Aalerson
and to Commissioner Smith for an sd
ministration of county affairs that will
live up to the ideals of these two
genMemen, and that will reflect upon
them and upon the county a success ¬
ful happiness. T'vse two men ave
a golden opportunity before them to
show to the public that no mistake has
been made in entrusting to them the
pub'.ic afairs; and they will rule over
a division of the state that is rich in
resource and possibilities, and that
can be materially advanced or hin
dered by their actions. The En'erpris.?
believes that they will do their best,
and does not think that they will per
mit themselves to be influenced in
any way by the baser influences that
were a part of the movement that
picked them up, like chips upon the
surface of Hie sea, anl cast '' em in
to office. The Enterprise believes
that they will consider only the vot
ers who elected them and that they
wi'l ignore the IK tie clique that start
ed the recall agitation not so much
that Anderson and Smith might be
elected, but so that Beatie and Blair
might be dragged down.
MAKING FUN Based more or less
OF THE LAW upon the reformed
Roman law; the system of jurlsprud
enaa in vpgue in the. United States
has been designed to guarantee to ev
ery man what is commonly referred
to as "the square deal." Primarily
for this reason do we have trial by
jury, and also on this account do we
have what is known as "a liberal in
terpretation of the statutes." Be that,
as it may, it is sometimes to be doubt
ed whether such leniency of interpre
tation, does not frequently actually
contra vert the real purpose of law,
which is tb punishment of crime.'
For Instance, a jury in a local jus
tice court recently acquitted a maa
of carrying concealed ; weapons,
though the defense admitted that
when he was arrested he had a sawed
off derringer in his pocket. It was
playfully suggested that such a fire
arm could not be considered a1 "dan
gerous weapon," and that therefor it
did not come under the statutes.
In another case a man was arrested
for expressing his opinion of his neigh-
bqr with two shots from the muzzle
of a 30-30 rifle. The shots went wild,
but subsequent events made it seem
evident that the man who thus forced
his fellow countryman to duck into
the underbrush and take to the tall
timbers had intended to have them,
find their mark. A grand jury inves
tigated the case, and returned a not
true bill. The fact that one of the
neighbors was a Caucasian, and that
the other was of a different hue of
skin might lead some people to be
lieve that it was perfectly safe to go
a-gunnmg for Tmman game in like cir
cumstances in the future.
In still another case a self-confp.33-
ed patricide was acquitted by a jury
of committing my crime. The acquit
tal was resarded as a great achieve
ment for the attorneys of the defense,
and it undoubtedly was.
These cases are but cited at ran
dom. They bring to mind, however,
the fact that oftentimes public sym
pathy is more with the man accused
of a crime than with the state that un
dertakos to punish the doer of wrong.
This is a dangerous condition in
which to find the public conscience,
I and is apt to lead to a contempt of the
law that mar wreck harm. While it
is true that extenuating circumstanc-e
ought to bs tahen very largely into
consideration if true justice is to be
had, there is a limit which never
ought to be overstepped if the law is
to be respected. Particularly is this
so in these days of universal attack
upon the past order, when new fads
and creeds are being offered in an
abundance that'is bewildering.
If the law is just it ought to be en
forced. If the law is at fault, it ought
to be repealed. Only in such a way
is safety to be found; only by such
methods can the stability of govern
ment be guaranteed.

Heart to Heart
Talks
. FROM THE NECK DOWN.
There was n well known meat packer
in Chicago, a man of many millions,
wbk'b be had amassed largely through
the exercise of his shrewdness in judg
ing iu en and their motives. He was an
expert In men. He gained his knowl
edge by hiring and "firing" many of
tbem.' 1
One day some one asked Philip D.
Armour his opinion of the relative
value of brain work and manual labor.
And this was his answer:
"No man on earth is worth more
than $1.25 a day. from his neck down."
The price of manual labor has gone
np somewhat since Armour's time. It
commands now more than $1.25 a day.
But compared with the returns from
the exercise of mental ability the dif
ference is negligible ' .
What difference does It make if we
say a man. below his Seek. is. worth
only $1.25 a day. or $1.50 a day, or $2
a day?
The point remains that what the
world values most and is willing to
pay most for is the work that is done
with the portion of the anatomy that
lies above the cervical vertebrae.
In plain English, it is bead work that
counts.
Ever since the days of the builders
of the pyramid of Cheops, when 20,000
men labored for a whole year to move
one of the stones that make up that
greHt monument to manual labor, the
work of the bands has- been held In
lower esteem than that of the bead.
Men who can toil long hours with the
bands are common. Men who can labor
equally long hours with the brain are
rare. :
This is not to say that all are fitted
for mental exertion.' As the muscles of
the body are developed by exercise, so
are the Assures of the brain developed
by use. In the man of science the
grooves are numerous and deep; in tbe
day laborer they are shallow and com
paratively few.
Not all may nsplre to labor with tbe
brain, but all may upply the brain they
have to the task In band.
In Its way manual toil Is as honor
able and worthy as the work which
does not depend entirely on bodily
strength: Of course, even the brain
worker must have a sound body to sup
port the labors of his mind if lie is to
achieve great success, since bodily Ill
ness and weakness react on. the brain.
But tbe world pays Its highest price
and accords Its highest honors to tbe
brain worker It recognizes in this wav
the superiority of mind over matter.
The hewers of wood and drawers of
water have ever been slaves to the
men who could orgauize them for their
personal benefit mid for the world's nd
vancement.
In the li:-: ,n..,i,vs,... that is wont
brain work is-the organization and
use of manual labor for selhsli and un
selfish iun'ses

HEAVY CAM
Receipts for the past week at Port
land and stock yards have been: Cat
tle 2171; calves 18, hogs 2020, sheep
6503, horses 27.
There has been a fairly heavy run
ot cattls for the week, both native
and southern stuff and a few extra
choice steers in the run, prices re
maining steady for top grades, but
going lower on medium class, especial
ly cows and heifers. Fancy native
steers sold from $8.25 to $8.35, lower
grades $7.50 to $8.00, choice cows and
heifers selling around $6.25 to $6.50,
with lower grades $5.75 to $6.00. A
wide range of prices showed between
choice and ordinary stuff.
A big decline came in the hog mar
ket,, with tops going from $8.25 to
$8.60, a general weak undertone and
light liquidation at week's close.
" The sheep market strengthened a
little for the six day period. Heavy
receipts the first of the week were
reported and held up fairly well to
Thursday. Some lambs came for
