DEPOT VENTILATION Just because a railroad has constructed a de
AND SANITATION pot for its passengers is no reason that it should
neglect the ventilation and sanitation features after it is completed. And yer,
, that is just what some railroads are doing all over the country day after day.
Educators study the question of ventilation in public schools until the
problem has become a science. The best systems for bringing in the right
amount of light and air into each school room in newly constructed buildings
are problems every time a new one is built. Architects sometimes specialize
on the question of ventilation and take long courses of study in that one par
ticular branch of their work.
In public buildings generally, we make it an important feature. Theaters
must be airy and light or must have a system that keeps the air in constant
motion or our city authorities at once begin to pufcthe machinery of the city
into action against them. We insist that all places where people congregate,
where crowds gather, where there is even a small probability that a number
of persons will collect into a given space be properly aired at frequent inter
vals. In those places, we demand that a constant stream of pure air be allowed

have the benefit of the most up-to-date results of the studies in ventilation and
sanitation.
But we are generally willing to stand for any old thing that the railroads
give us in the way of depot ventilation, and it makes no difference to us
whether the rooms in the stations are even aired or not. When we go into
- a waiting room, we complain to ourselves or to our friends of the stifling
atmosphere, the odor of the room, or the fact that the place has no signs of a
proper ventilating system.
, . But we seldom make the kick where it counts. Nobody seems to be espe
cially commissioned to take the problem up with the railroad authorities and
see that something is done about it. No one seems to have any interest in
the public welfare at this one particular but just as vital point.
- If it is endangering our health to sit in a stifling atmosphere at the
theater or pub!:-: meeting, it is just as endangering to put up with the dis
agreeable and stagnate odors of a waiting room of a railroad station. If it
means anything to t'e public lealth that the theater- at a gr;Mt e.Vjens: ol
time ir.d money, are forced to install proper ventilation plants, it mr.st i e:in
just as much to that public health in a station or depot waiting room.!'
It does not seem to us that there can be much difference in the main is
sues of the case. We make such requirements of public meeting placs as a
safeguard for the public health. We demand that the air be pure. We
don't like to breathe the same atmosphere over and over again. We are
taught that is is dangerous to our health and certainly it is not conducive to
quiet nerves or a peaceful disposition. '
Why, then, are we not more insistent when a railroad lets its passengers
breathe over and over again through the day and night the same air in a
crowded stuffy waiting room where all classes and conditions of people con
gregate? Largely because, probably, no one seems to have especial authority
to demand that the railroad, like other public institutions, keep its station in

Army

AS. LONG AS WE MAINTAIN -THE MONROE DOCTRINE, RETAIN
THE PHILIPPINES, CONTROL THE PANAMA CANAL AND
. DOMINATE THE PACIFIC. WHICH IS OUR MANIFEST DESTINY,
WE MUST HAVE AN ARMY ADEQUATE -TO CARE FOR THESE CON
DITIONS AND MEET EMERGENCIES.
No one advocates a large standing army in this country, but we ought
to have as a military organization an army of EFFICIENT OFFICERS
AND DRILLED MEN which can be AUGMENTED BY TRAIN
ED MEN from a reserve and supplemented by the national guard of
the states. .
There has been a great deal of general discussion as to the necessity
of better preparation for sudden war emergencies, and there seems to be
quit a unanimous opinion that at the present time our army is wholly
.INADEQUATE owing to the methods that have been employed.
WE OUGHT NOT TO LEAVE OURSELVES IN AN ATTITUDE
WHERE WE FEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF INVASION BY JAPAN. ON
THE PACIFIC COAST OR BY ANY OTHER FOREIGN COUNTRY ON
OUR ATLANTIC COAST NOR IN APPREHENSION AS TO WHAT.
MIGHT HAPPEN TO OUR TROOPS IN CASE OF , INTERVENTION IN
MEXICO BECAUSE THE ARMY IS INADEQUATE FOR EMERGENCIES.
At all events, it seems certain that the country is BECOMING
AWARE OF THE UNPREPARED CONDITION OF OUR 4RMY
and will sustain congress in making such changes as seem necessary to
place the army upon a footing to meet emergencies and secure the honor -and
integrity of the nation.
the same way that our theaters re kept and that its ventilation be solved in
the same way. ' ' ' '
As a result, we have stuffy waiting rooms. We have foul air. We
have the same atmosphere breathed over dozens of times a day. We have
closed windows and air shafts shut down.
There is no reason for it, no excuse. It is just as much a danger to pub
lic health any a badly ventilated theater. It means just aS much to the gen
eral public or that portion of t' that happens to be travelling over the road.
It is a feature of the health problem that somebody ought to take in hand and
some of our authorities ought to get results on it in short order.
PLAY GROUNDS A Public play grounds are almost as. much of a neces
PUBLIC NECESSITY' sity as a public water system. The one promotes
health while' the other" maintains life. There is nothing better in the admin
istration of any city than plenty of parks where the people, old and youn'T,
may gather to spend their few leisure hours and enjoy complete and thorough
lest. ' "
j In the busy marts of trade, most of -us have little time for rest at best.
We are part of the hustle and bustle of life. We are wheels in the machin
ery of progress. To maintain the lead that we now have in all features of
our industrial and business life, we are rushed from one pillar to post and
from one end of the country to the other. We have few leisure hours. Few
are the moments that we can spend enjoying the beauties of nature or the
green lawns and restful sports of our public parks. t -x .
4 It is wise, then, when a city makes those hours as pleasant as it possibly
can by the use of the most up to. date methods of equippment fo public
amusement. Wise, too, is that city that plans almost as much for its places of
rest and legitimate amusement as it does for the other forms of its city busi
ness. It is just as much a part of the business of the council to' provide for
the time that we can spend in rest as it is for it to take steps for other neces-1
sary improvements. A municipality whose voters are rested at the end of !
their day's work, whose children do not gather on the streets and wandei'i
from one show window to the other in search of pleasure that they cannot
find, is a municipality that has solved one of its greatest problems and has
taken a step toward public improvement that will find its echo in every other
public work that it undertakes. ' ' , .-
In those cities where play grounds are established institutions, they indi
cate just how much of a factor they can play in the question of public health.
They take the children from the streets, give them pleasure that is healthful
and legitimate, take them out of places where the amusement is doubtful and
of a kind that is not in the least educational. ' .
Day after day the children of Oregon City tramp the hard paved streets
of the city, pass from one show window to the other, look at samples of every
thing from clothes to candies in the vain search for amusement. Glittering
show windows are excellent advertisement of the displayed goods but they are
poor amusement parks for children. They show enterprise and business acu
men, but they do not teach the children of the city anything in particular ex
cept the high cost of living and do not develope their bodies nor their minds.
To send -the teams of the schools to another dty in order to allow them
the training that developes the bodies and quickens the mind is shortsighted
business policy for the city. If the voters will authorize the council to pur
chase the Englebrecht tract, they will give the city fathers the right to erect
and furnish a play grounds that will be of immense educational value, that
will provide a training ground for athletic work, that will keep tne children
off of the streets and, at the same time, improve their minds and bodies with
healthful, restful play.
Play is the panacea of all ills. It cures everything. It beats medicines
of all kinds. Oregon City needs a public play grounds and needs it badly.
The Enterprise sincerely hopes that when the people have the chance to give
their endorsement to the council's plan, that the endorsement will come al
most unanimously and that the vote will be so overwhelmingly in favor of
the proposition as to leave no doubt in the councilmanic mind as to what the
people of this city want done for civic betterment.

UNCERTAINTY OF BOND IN
VESTMENTS. Our jurisprudence and our
business customs proceed on the
theory that -trustees for the
funds of widows and orphans
should, for the most part, avoid
investing these funds in stocks
because "dividends are . uncer
tain" and should investhem In
bonds because "interest Is cer
tain." But interest is not cer
tain when the dollar is uncer
tain. Interest insures a fixed
number of dollars, but it does
not insure any fixed value in
these dollars. Most widows and
orphans whose funds have been
invested in bonds during the last
decade and a half have suffered
from the high cost of living more
than they could possibly have
suffered from uncertainties in
the dividends from ordinary
standard investments in stocks.

the following conversation took place:
"There. Mr. Beeman." said the rat
catcher, Tve cleared your premises

trouble with rats. I assure you. and
you won't , have to bother about the
dead ones either. I'll put 'em right in

SAFETY FIRST !
. Whenever the big men of the rail
roads gather nowadays the men of
the keen, tlear cut faces and the
searching eyes and talk of the opera
tion of the roads one is very apt to
hear:
"Safety first! Speed afterward!"
The day of the eighteen hour train
between New York and Chicago has
passed away, perhaps forever. Too
mn.v trains derailed by. rails unable
to st;ind the terrible pressure of steei
trains passing over them at unsafe
need too many smashed cars In the
ditch:
Nowadays men talk of signals and
block systems and improved methods
of building cars nud locomotives rath
er than of sending trains at terrific
haste around curves and on the long
The death rate is still too high, but
men versed in such matters believe it
will go down. The margin of security
is widening with the precautions be
ing taken to insure safety on the rail.
Signs are not wanting that along the
road of life the same thing is happen
ing. Not many men speak as did the
young millionaire the other day when
he said:
"When 1 want to get anywhere I
want to get there in a nury. If the
express trains are not fast enough I
order specials. I want my automobffe
to be the fastest one that the builder
can supply. That's the way to live
speed up and get there!" -
While you skim along the road and
make the other fellow take your dust
speed is delectable. And it is pleasant
to "gat. there." to be the first on the
scene. . .
But suppose you never get there?
Suppose-your train of life is derailed
and wrecked and you are thrown, dy
ing or dead, into a ditch? Suppose the
wheel of your hundred horsepower car
skids and you are thrown out against
a telegraph pole, to have your name
added to the list of victims of speed?
Slow up a bit in the ride of life. The
goal is not so distant that you must
