CITY OFFICIAL
A NEW Oregon City really needs a new federal building. So many
POSTOFFICE cities of the country have pestered-their senators and rep
resentatives into forcing amendments to the appropriation bills of the gov
ernment that the expenditures have grown enormously years by year and
the bill has become to be regarded as the "pork barrel" of confess.
But the lavish extravagances of congress in the past and the woeful dis
regard of the nation's funds that have been shown on the part of many of
the representatives in the national body is no excuse for the neglect that
Oregon City has suffered for proper postal facilities.
The oldest town in the state is no longer a village. It is now a rapidly
growing and a thriving community. Its postoffice receives a volume of
mail daily that is a credit to any city in the country with a much larger pop
ulation'. There is now no reason why the postoffice of the town should
be stuck off in a dark hole between a real estate office and a business house
and that strangers should have to search the windows as they pass for a
sign that would give them an inkling of the place in which Uncle Sam tran
sacts his business here.
The Commercial club is on the right track when it believes that the
time has now come when the government should take steps to give the city
a better postoffice. When the representative of the postal department, Pa.:l
E. Keyser, arrives in town for the annual convention of the letter carriers,
he should be shown just the conditions under which the postmaster and his
assistants labor to promptly and efficeiently handle the public business.
After he has all of the facts at his finger's end, there will be little ques
' tion as to the kind of a report that he would make to the department
chiefs. Nothing is so stubborn In its ways as an incontrovertible fact.
Neither is there a more incontrovertible fact than that Oregon City has
been scandalously neglected by the government in its provision for post
office accomodations.
THE MASHER The pestus masheritis is a disease that ought to be ex
PEST terminated by as stringent measures as the police can enforce, un
der the laws of the city and the state. In some men, it seems to be an un
controllable impulse that makes themhang around street corners and in
sult every girl who crosses their path.
The loafers around cigar stores and saloons are most guilty of it and
the disease has become so prevalant as to make it almost impossible for a
woman or a girl to walk down one of the streets of the city without some
whelp on the corner feeling called upon to make comments upon her or up
on her appearance.
There is really nothing quite so disgusting as one of these conceited
"beaux brummels" in the community. A masher, as a general thing, is
' nothing more nor less than a concentrated package of unadulterated con
ceit. If he didn't believe that he was a handsome chap and that the girls
were all dead in love with him, he certainly would never have the nerve to
speak to a woman whom he did not know when he met her on the street
He that will not economize will have
to agonize. ,

Give the Bad Boy a Chance,
He Has Some Good In Him
By Judge W. N. GATENS of the Portland (Ore.) Juvenile Court
GIVE a helping hand to the small boy who is also a bad boy. GIVE
HIM A CHANCE. A. boy isn't necessarily all bad because he
tells a fib or loots an orchard.
PUT THEM ON THEIR HONOR, these youthful offenders, and
see how they come back. We've tried it in Portland, and ninety-eight
per cent of the accused bave never come before the juvenile court a
second time.
A BOY 18 NOT NECESSARILY MORALLY OR MENTALLY DE
FICIENT BECAUSE HE TELL8 A LIE. FIRST REMEMBER THAT
THE CHILD MU8T HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF RIGHT AND
WRONG.
A child may steal and still not be defective. There is an apparent
' weakness in a case of this kind, but there are milder methods of -correction.
- .
Cigarette smoking is not a stamp of defectiveness. It's the resnlt of
ENVIRONMENT.
It is a mistake, in my opinion, to treat a minor offender as a defective
becauFe of some petty offense. I've robbed many a cherry orchard my
self. DON'T MAKE THE BOY BKLIEVE HE IS BAD. A commis
sion of alienists or a so called psychologist may make a mistake and
mark a normal child for life. -

OREGON CITY, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1913.
Neither is there anything at all
woman who is unescorted, who is without protection, and he takes advant
age of that fact to force himself upon her attenton. Were she with some
man, he would be the last person on earth to recognize her presence on the
street and would fade away out of. sight were her escort to even suspect
that he had attempted to insult the woman in any way.
A masher is above all things cowardly. He is a nuisance that ought
to be put out of the way as quickly as it can be done under the law. It is
the earnest hope of The Enterprise that Chief of Police Shaw and his force
will make every' effort to eradicate the pest in Oregon City and that every
masher who insults a woman on the streets be given nothing less than 30
days on the rock pile. ,
If a man is not respectful toward a woman whom he meets, if he hasn't
the first elements of chivalry in his make-up, if he doesn't think enough of
his own mother or sister to realize what it means to a woman when a
strange-man speaks to her in public, there is nothing that is more whole
some or effective to instill in him those principles and elements of
training that he lacks than the golden opportunity to make little rocks out
of big ones under the supervision of an amiable chief of police. .
The incident Friday when a young woman of the city was followed
for blocks by a would-be masher and had to run into the - ice house "for.
protections' is disgusting to" any man who has any respect whatever for wo
men. ' i
Any man would take violent measures with a masher who had insulted
any of the feminine members-of his family on the street. Oregon City is
a big family whose only punitive force is the department of police. That
arm should be exercised as rigorously against the man who insults an un
protected woman as it would be were the incident to happen, in the family
of any member of the force. . There, is no cure for the masher but the
rock pile. .
Heart to Heart
Talks
THE LOVE OF THE GAME.
For thirteen years Christy Mathew
Bon. "the peerless Matty," has been a
great figure in the world of baseball.
He has been the mainstay of his team,
the New York National League Giants,
and has helped to win three league
pennants and one world's champion
ship. Other men have lasted longer in "big
league ball" than Mathewson. but no
other has so brilliant a record.
To-day, although only thirty-three
years old. he is an old timer, as base
ball players are rated.
But be holds his own. He is still
one of the leading pitchers, one of the
most dependable of players. When be
steps into the pitching box the men
behind him, his teammates, feel . con
fident that tbey will win the game.
Why?
The matter was discussed a few days
ago by some leading players, all of
whom know Matty.
And this Is the reason, the true rea
son, for bis lasting powers and his su
premacy as a player
"It Is because he loves the game."
said one man "He puts his heart In
it It is his Ufework."
There is the secret if it can be called
a secret Matty loves the game. There
fore he plays it as well as he does.
There is another reason. It was given
out by Manager McGraw. Mathewson'a
superior and friend, a few yeans ago.
"The big fellow never has to go Into
traiuing iu the spring to get into con
dition." said McGraw. "He keeps him
self in condition all the time. He does
not bare to -tune himself up He Is
ready to play ball at any time."
Love of the game and perfect condi
tion ail the time!
The two conditions work for success
In baseball. Tbey are good rules In all
games and in all labors and 'profes
sions. If you "love the game." if you
feel that the work in which yon are
engaged is worthy of you and keep
yourself in the proper mental and phy
sical condition to do it yon will suc
ceed as Mathewson has succeeded.
If you let yourself "go stale" and
lose Interest In the game yon will Join
the long line of failures.
Mathewson in his long baseball ca
reer has outlasted many other pitchers.
Some of them were praised on their
first appearance as "second Mathew
sons" or "better than Matty."
Tbey did not love the game enough
They took insufficient care of them
selves. As Matty has lasted and will live for
all time in baseball history, so may
any man make a great name for him
self in his chosen field if he will ob
sei i' the great pitcher's rules:
Love the game. . Keep yourself In
trim
Whtn the Feet Perspire Profusely.
This is a very great cause of corns
and general pains In the feet and the
ciiri in nn nlmnli that tt in nAcliWfawl
Frequent bathing In cold water, with
gentle massage, will do more toward
helping this trouble than almost any
thing, yet few' but fill their perspiring
feet with some sort of powder, which
clogs the pores and in the end makes
matters worse. A good formula la to
mix one ounce powdered alum with
two of salt and one of borax. Put half
chivalrous in a masher. He finds a
a tiililespootilul of this In a toot tub or
tepid water at night and bathe the
feet well. Keep a little jar of mutton
tallow that has been melted and a
teaspoonf nl of witch hazel added to an
ounce. ..When the feet have been thor
oughly soaked in the bath wipe and
rub in this pomade: then bind them
with antiseptic gauze, because the
grease will spoil the bedclothing. Do
this night and morning and there will
be great relief, the gauze preventing
the hose getting greasy during the
day.
Another way is to bathe with salicyl
ic soap every night. Dry well and wipe
with a lotion made of an ounce of
glycerin with three of perchloride of
Iron and add ten drops essence berga
mot Be sure that every part is
touched, between the toes especially.
Tben powder with a mixture of twenty-five
grams of violet talcum, 7
grams powdered starch, 2 burnt alum
arid a gram of powdered salicylic acid.
Change the hose every day, wearing
the thin cotton that can be rubbed out
after being worn once. Have two or
three pairs of shoes and change every
day. It is the old, partly dried perspir
ration remaining In hose and shoes that
hurts the feet causes them to swell and
perspire worse.
PAID WITH A FLAG.
Rich Ducal Estates In England With a
Curious Rental.
It in not generally known that on
the anniversary of Waterloo each year
June 18, 1815, was the original day
the Duke of- Wellington is required to
present the sovereign with a new Sag
bearing the French colors as an ac
knowledgment that bis grace holds the
manor of Strathfieldsaye at the will
and pleasure of the king, that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as a national gift for his success over
Napoleon at Waterloo . ' .
The ceremony of the presentation of
the flag is today much shorn of its
ancient glory, for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horseback and personally offered it
to the monarch. Nowadays it Is sent
by deputy, however, and is then placed
by some appointed equerry in the po
sition assigned to it namely, over the
marble bust of the old Duke of Wel
lington that stands oa Its pedestal in
the guardroom at Windsor castle. The
flag which has rested there during the
preceding year is then taken down and
returned to the duke's messenger.
It is on the special condition of thus
rendering this annual tribute of feudal
service, as we may call It that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. - If
he omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates
The same principle .applies to the
beautiful domains of Blenheim held
by the Duke of Marlborough, who sim
ilarly has to send a new flag on each
anniversary of the battle (Aug. 13,
1704). The banner is placed over the
bust of the noted Duke of Marlbor

A Mutual
Admiration Society
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
Mrs. Middleton-Tranby is a sort of
Mrs. Leo Hunter, in whom Dickens
satirized a woman ambitious to shine
as a literary star and to entertain lit
erary stars, though Mrs. Middleton
Tranby was not the caricature Mrs.
Leo Hunter was and lived iu the twen
tieth instead 'of the nineteenth cen
tury. Among the literary salons given by
Mrs. Tranby (the whole name is too
long for repetition! was one where a
professor of German literature in a
prominent university was to address
the company. The professor, who was
as unpretentious as his name, .which
was Brown, did not know when he ac
cepted the invitation that he was to
speak to a mutual admiration society.
His address was to be in the after
noon, and half an hour before he was
to appear on the rostrum he stepped
into a trolley car whicu would carry
him direct to the resideuce of Mrs.
Tranby. He seated himself, took a
newspaper from his pocket' and be
gan to read.
Presently two ladies entered the car,
sat down opposite the professor and
began to chat. There were various
noises connected with the journey,
such as the conductor's bell ringing
and vehicles rattling over the stones
without' and the ladies found it diffi
cult to modulate their voices.
"Have you rend Mrs. Middleton
Tranby's latest poem in the s Maga-
eine?" asked one lady. Who wore some
thing like a muff for a hat on her head.
"Yes. Isn't It lovely?"
"Beautiful: But it doesn't compare
with your 'My Rover.' ".
"Don't you think so? It's awfully
good of you to say so."
"I love dogs, and the close of your
poem, when your dog looks up at you
so expressively before he dies, is just
too lovely for anything."
Thank you ever so much. Have
you been writing anything?"
"Nothing in verse. I have a story
I'm going to read at the next meeting
of our literary society." I've spent a
lot of time over it which I fear may
have been wasted. When I write a
poem I dash It right off without think
ing, and it's better than when I take
pains." ,
"Thafs genius. ( I wish we were go
ing to listen to your story this after
noon at Mrs. Middleton-Tranby's in
stead of having to listen to that pro
fessor. I think our meetings when we
read our own papers are so much more
interesting." I
"So do I. ' I don't care for German
literature. There is so much philoso
phy mixed up In it'
"Mrs. Engleheart's paper on
'Goethe.' read at our last meeting, was
very good."
- "Good! It was delightful! But then
we are all so familiar with the opera
of 'Faust that Goethe has a special
charm for uaf
"What's the name of the professor
who is to lecture this afternoon?"
t "Brown, I believe."
' "Brown! ' He isn't the Professor
Brown whose loose ideas on marriage
have excited so much comment? I be-(
lieve the trustees of his university ask
ed him to resign Cuthbert Brown,
professor of a something or other, I
don't reniember." -
"I think that's the man' who- is to
speak ' this afternoon, but I'm not
sure."
"If it is I shall not remain for the
lecture." .
. "You'd better be careful. Ton know

H didn't think of that. Ever so
much obliged to you for mentioning it.
Of course it wouldn't do to offend a
hostess. Besides. I rather like to hear
what horrid theories people will pro
mulgate." "I can stand a bit of spice myself. It
this man Brown doesn't advocate posi
tive free love I rather think I shall
hear him out. But, since he is to speak
on German literature, perhaps he won't
mention his peculiar ideas."
"Possibly not, but so long as he holds
them and we have to listen to him it
would be disappointing to have him
stick to his dull subject"
By this time the car had reached a
cross street leading to Mrs. Middleton
Tranby's residence., and the ladies
alighted. They were followed by Pro
fessor Brown Charles,, not Cuthbert,
Brown and a husband and father of
six children who lagged behind them,
so that when thpy entered the Tranby
residence they did so without having
noticed that he had followed them.
"Let's go right into the lecture room,"
said one, "and get seats where we can
hear. I'm a little deaf."
They took seats in the front row. and
when the room had been filled behind
them the lecturer, with Mrs. Middleton
Tranby, passed down an aisle, and they
mounted the platform together.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the lady
with the muff hat.
"It is the man who sat opposite us
in the car."
"We must go."
"How. can we? It's impossible. "We
have got to stay it out."
The lecturer, having been introduced
by the hostess, cast one meaning
gianr-e down at the ladies directly be
neath him. then delivered his lecture.
It was considered rather dry by his au
dience. It contained no reference what
ever to 'marriage, experimental mar
riage or any of the substitutes which
theorists are suggesting for the good
old d-iys of domestic love and large
families.
