THAT "PURE" "As dripping with
WELL WATER coolness,
It arose from the well."
"The old oaken bucket, the iron
bound bucket, the moss covered
bucket that arose from the well" on
that particular day when the poet
wrote about it has become the car
rier of disease and the medium
through which deadly germs are cir
cu'.ated through a whole community.
None of that- poetic romance now
surrounds the old well. For days,
doctors and scientists have been tell
ing the people of Oregon City that
the epidemic of typhoid fever that
has claimed so many cases in the last
few weeks can probably be traced, at
least in a measure, to the wells. They
are blamed for the whole catastrophe.
To them may be charged the greater'
portion of the cases that have been re
ported to the authorities and that
sparkling water, clear as crystal, is
now looked upon as the carrier of
the deadly disease germs that have
innoculated dozens of families and
that have spread their contagion
through the entire city.
Evidently, the old well is "in bad."
Certainly, its crystal water is no long
er "pure." Physicians believe that
wells, even though sunk deep into the '
bed rock before they have tapped th
hidden springs, are but drains foR the I
sewerage of the surface and that
through them is spread the contagion
that has collected there for years.
Foreign matter of -every kind and
description can often be found in
wells' that are best protected from
surface exposure and that could have
reached them only through that un-
Facility In Divorce Helps to
Improve Morality In
Marriage
By E.de FOREST LACH. President of the National Divorce .
Reform Association
MAERIAGE is not, as is generally considered, a fiction.. Two classes
look upon it as such. Churchmen regard marriage "as a THEO
LOGICAL FICTION. Lawyers -regard it as a purely LEGAL
FICTION.
- That marriage is a biological fact, having'its position in nature well
prescribed by easily defined terms; that it is much older than and CAN
EXIST ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT OF THE RELIGIOUS AND
LEGAL LIMITATIONS with which some have sought.to encumber it,
is recognized, I think, by all scholars who search after truth without be
ing blindfolded.
FACILITY IN DIVORCE IS A MOST POTENT AGENCY IN IM
PROVING THE MORALITY IN MARRIAGE. FORMERLY ANYTHING
WAS CONSIDERED PROPER WHEN THE MAN AND WOMAN WERE
MARRIED. THE MISSION OF MORALITY SEEMED TO CEASE WITH
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY.
Personally I have never known a divorce but was MORE MORAL
THAN THE MARRIAGE IT DISSOLVED. I cannot imagine a
more immoral and degrading condition for a civilized man and woman
to live in than to be compelled to live together when they do not want to.
Of course there are many persons who will agree with this statement
and who may well say: "Let them separate.- Let them live apat, but
under no condition let them remarry." '
Those who make such statements LITTLE REALIZE THE
FORCES WITH WHICH THEY ARE DEALING. Their blind
t ness or shallowness would be little less than amusing were it not for the
Buffering which such condition causes. Better informed persons shud
der at the consequence of such a practice.

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
der ground seepage that carries ev
erything to its lowest level. The
well, as a result, becomes nothing
more nor less than a cesspool. It is
the collector of garbage, tiie pool into
which all of the little sewers empty,
bringing with them all of the filth
and disease that they have gathered
on their way and which, by innoculat
ing the source of water supply, the17
give to every person dependent upon
that well.
There is perhaps no surer and
quicker way to spread disease than
to poison a well. Press reports have
shown instances where whole families
have been wiped out by the dropping
of a little bottle of poison on the sur
face of the waters. Day after day the
streams and drains that empty into
the wells of the city have dropped
their poison into the source of the
water supply for dozens of families
and have spread the germs of disease
steadily through the city until it has,
in fact, become a virulent epidemic.
So deliciously cool and thirst
quenching is the water of a deep well
coming from nature's own refrigerat
or plant that it is hard to convince
most persons of the deadly baccillj it
has collected. Generally, if a thing
makes an appeal to the eye it raises
a barrier against tha workings of the
mind based on the information of
science. We' are willing to admit,
in the abstract, that wells may be the
source of disease but it is often hard
to convince most persons that their
own particular well is the breeder of
baccilli and the birth place of contagion-bearing
germs.
The only way that the state and city
health officers will ever wipe out the
epidemic that, now has its strangle
hold on the city is through the co-operation
of the citizenry of' the com
munity itself. The Commercial club
of the city has come to the front and
pledged the officers every assistance
that it can give them. For that, the
club and its officers deserve all the
credit that can be given - to them.
Certainly, the fact that Oregon City
is in the midst of an epidemic does
not help the town in any way.
To stamp out this- disease is more
important to the city than almost all
of its other problems combined. It
is a vital issue. It involves the
health and lives of the people of the
community and,-in the work that the
state board of health and the city
authorities have outlined, they de
serve every effort of co-operation that
can be given to them- until they have
thoroughly and completely conquered
the germ that now seems to have tha
upper hand. -
PUBLIC UTILITY Through its of
SHORT SIGHTEDNESS ficers, the
Pacific Telegraph & Telephone com
pany has refused to allow the city to
install its new fire alarm system in
the company office. The Home Tele
phone company, on the other hand,
has offered to do everything in its
power to assist the city in putting in
an up-to-date fire system.
The-action of the Home company is
to be "commended. It has shown the
proper spirit for a public utility. A
corporation which serves the pubc
should feel that the community is in
terested in the service that it gives,
that the people have a right to ex-.
pect certain things of that corpora- j
tion, and that it should come up to 1
those expectations. -
A company that cannot do this. 13 !
not worthy of the name. Ii receives j
long-term franchise from th3 com-1
munity that it serves, a franchise that, i
becomes more and more valuable as !
the conynunity grows and prospers. '
It depends for its very dividends upon
the growth, and development of that
community. If the city does not de
velop, the franchise that has been
given becomes less and less of value
and the revenues that are to be de
rived decrease in proportion.
To refuse to perform the service
that the city has asked of the Pacific
company is official short sightednes3.
The people of Oregon City have a
right to expect that their telephone
companies, in return for the valuable
franchises that have been given to
them, will render service of this na
ture when they are requested to do
so. 'A corporation that refuses admils
that it is willing to hog everything
that it can get and to give absolutely
nothing in return but the service for
which it is actually paid.
Certainly, Oregon City pays enough
for its telephone service to get almost
innumerable favors of this kind
thrown in without cost. The service
that the companies render to' the peo
ple are paid for in casfc. But the fran
chise that has been given years ago
when franchises were of little value
becomes an asset to the company
that holds it and a liability to the
people who have given it.
But franchises sometimes . expire.
When they do, the people do not often
forget that the company which held
them has refused to grant favors that
were asked. It migt pay tha Piicific
company to sometimes think of thir
angle of the affair.
The mayor and members of the citv
council are particularly disappointed
by the action of the company and
some of those in charge of the city's
affairs have emphatically denounced
the officers of the corporation for
their positive refusal to do what is,
without question, their public duty
INVESTIGATE YOURSELF FIRST.
"There was n time." says Mrs. Wil-
, Ham Korse Scott, a woman of national
reputation, in a letter to a New York
newspaper, "when a man went into his
closet and with prayer and bitter tra
vailof spirit investigated himself. To
day he goes into the public press and
investigates the other man."
True, quite true!
Investigation is the order of the age.
We want to know all about everything.
Even in the awakening days of the re
naissance, when the ordinary man first
learned that he had a mind where
with to think, there was no more of
the spirit of investigation abroad than
there is now.
But we all want to be the investiga
tors, not the investigated.
We are all willing to have Diogenes
turn the light of his lantern on the
other fellow, not on us. We do not
need to be investigated.
So we think. But is it so?
Instead of turning our searchlight on
our neighbor, would It not be better if
we switched its ra"ys on ourselves?
"1 do not -need" investigation," you
say. Of course you can bear all the
probing and prying that some one else
can Inflict on you, but how about X
raying your own life? -.
Self examination is often the best
kind. .
If you will sit down some day, when
neither business nor pleasure presses,
with your goul for your only company,
and candidly ask yourself, "Is there
any way in which I am lacking, in
which I am not living up to the best
that is in me is there an? way in
Heart to Heart
, Talks
wuicn i am wasting -my opportunities
or my time?" perhaps the result would
astonish you.
You know, of course, that very often
the most profitable conversation a per
son can hold is with himself, when
there. is ne second person present It
does not always take two persons to
make talk. - - .
This is not addressed to the idler,
nor to the man who is perfect in his
"own eyes or wise in his own conceit
He will not see how a man may talk
with himself and sain benefit from the
result
But the man or woman who will sub
mit himself or herself to a candid self
examination, who will admit that in
vestigating may. like charity, begin at
home, will see that self probing is far
better oftentimes than investigation of
one's neighbor. .
The idea is not a new one. but it has
heen somewhat obscured In recent
times.
