FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
PORTLAND, Oct. 16 (To Editor En
terprise) We believe the sterlization
law should be rejected because it does
not sufficiently guard the safety of
the insane and feeble-minded and all
prisoners in the state institutions.
If this law is approved by the peo
ple and is constitutional, it will be
possible for only two men, one a su
perintendent of a state asylum, with
out an oath or affidavit, wihout a trial
or hearing, without a notice to the in
sane person or prisoner, or to any
friend, relative or guardian, to cause
an insane person in the state institu
tions to be sterilized, sprayed cast
rated or otherwise mutilated by any
"Burgical operation" the state board
of health may be pleased to order.
Nothing is required by law
but ap-
proval by the stale board of the re
ports of the superintendent.
There is nothing in the law to pre
vent all of this being done before any
of the work is made public. We do
not think any two men or any combin
ation of men should have this power
over the bodies ot insane persons or
prisoners. It is true that the law:
Bays the insane person or prisoner j
may appeal from the order of the I
state board, but.it does not require j
that he or she shall have any notice
wnatever, ana tnis maKes appeal im-;
possible, except by the kindness of j
the superintendent ot the asylum ori
penitentiary. j
We recommend that this law be re-j
jected by voting 305-X No. j
We do not say the present otticers
would abuse the authority granted j
them by this law, but we believe thei
history of mankind proves that such
secret power is too great to be given
' any body of men over other men, wo
men and most of all over the helpless
insane persons and prisoners.

To the Editor of The Morning En
terprise: We suppose that the much
. heralded new saloon paper will soon
appear. Your scribe is neither a
prophet, nor the son of a prophet, yet
he does not hesitate to prophecy that
it will say a great deal about the $10,
000 license money, but absolutely noth
ing about the $150,000 snent to collect
it. Probably it will have a good deal!
to say about the "Anti-Saloon League,"
but absolutely nothing about the com
mittee of 100 men, and its cooperat
ing committee of 100 women back of
the local campaign. Every man and
woman connected with the "dry" side
of this campaign is a voter in Oregon
City. There is neither . preacher nor
Anti-Saloon League worker upon the
executive committee having this work
in charge, so it is neither a church nor
an "anti-saloon" movement, but a
campaign for a better Oregon City.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 17. Two Amer

Dy Mexicans today at Hostotipaquillo,
state of Jalisco, according to disr

Barrett's skull was split open by a
Mexican armed with an ax. Kendall
captured the slayer and turned him
over to the rurales. On the way to
Magdalena the prisoner tried to
escape and was killed by the rurales
it was reported that Kendall shot Bar-
rett's slayer and this caused the mob
to kill Kendall.

Because he told her that he had im

Office or down town while, in reality,
he was associating with other women,
according to her complaint, Nell E.
Warford wants a divorce from L. El
bert Warford.
The suit was filed in the circuit
court of the county Friday and recites
that the, husband was guilty of cruel
and inhuman treatment. The wife al
leges that he caused her great mental
suffering at various times and that
his alleged association with other wo
men was a cause for anxiety.
They were married at Hillsboro,
January 4, 1912.
REFERENDUM DEBATE
GROWS INTERESTING
The first of a serious of debates that
will probably be held over this county
and other sections of the state was
held Friday night at Beaver Creek In
the Grange hall on the question of
the university appropriations to be
considered under the referendum.'
Because Dr. Chapman of Portland,
did not appear on the scene, Chris
Schubel who happened to be hunting
in that neighborhood and dropped in
to the meeting to listen to the argu
ments took the negative side of the
question. He said afterwards that he
favored the appropriations but to put
life and interest into, the affair, he
argued for the opposition. He con
tended that the money should be spent
in-the improvement of the. common
schools.
John Veatch, an attorney of Port
land, on the other hand, contended
that the appropriations were needed
to keep pace with the times and the
increasing enrollments of the insti
tutions of higher learning in the state'.
The meeting was largely attended.

Mr. Lind has advised the Presi

COUNCIL WANTS ALLEY
AND OPEN STREET
Livy Stipp, city recprder, has been
instructed by the city council to de
mand Mrs. Sarah A. Chase that she
vacate what the council regards as a
public alley and part of High street
which the fathers believe she has- in
cluded within her fence. -
The city has taken the step as the
result of the suit for an injunction
that was filed in the circuit tourt the
other day asking the court for a re
straining order to prevent . the con
struction of the elevator over the
bluff. - '
The council Friday night also estab
lished the grade on Madison street
and talked of other street improve
ments generally. The question ot
street cleaning was discussed and oth
er matters that were brought to the
council's attention by - the street com
mittee. Councilman F. S. J. Tooze, chairman
of the special water committee of the
council, member of several commu
tes to investigate several important
subjects that have come before the
council in the past few months, and,
according to rumor, a candidate for
mayor at the next election moved that
the city recorder be instructed to offi
cially notify the Morning Enterprise
and the other papers of the city of
every meeting of the council and cor
dially invite their representatives to

Other matters of routine werp nasa-

ing, however, was the expression of
the sentiment of the council in favor
of appropriating funds for a new fur
ace of the Carnegie library.

WOMEN WARRIORS.
One That Was Made a Heroine In Spite
of Herself.
There are few countries that have
not at one time or iinntber had women
soldiers In their ranks either, in dis
guise or openly accepted despite their
sex. England. France and (Jermany
have all had military heroines. (Jer
many, which traditionally demands of
its women only softness and domestic
ity, has nevertheless had its full share.
One of them, Eleouore ProcbasUa, had
saved her wages as a cook to buy her
man's equipment. In her last battle,
when stonning some heights under
heavy Are. she snatched a drum from
a fallen . Frenchman and beat the
charge as she advanced.
"You can sew. cook, wash, sing and
shoot better than any of us." said tbe
comrade at ber side admiringly, "and
now it seems you can drum too!"
A moment later she was mortally
wounded. As she fell she called to tbe
nearest officer, with a dying Hush of
pride and humor:
"Lieutenant. I'm a girl!"
Another girl. Ann.i Lu bring, only
eighteen, was traced nod claimed by
her father after she had enlisted, but
her captain refused to dismiss so fine
a soldier.
A young dressmaker. Sophia Kruger.
who made her owu uniform before en
listing, won tbe Iron Cross for bravery.
Maria Werder. a farmer's wife, serv
ed, undiscovered, with her husband and
was promoted to be a sergeaDt, al
though he remained a private.
An amusing contrast to these genu
inely gallaDt women Is afforded by
Johanna Stegen. who quite by acci
dent won a reputation for heroism.
She and a companion. Caroline Berger.
were caught by chance in the fighting
lines at the battle of Luueberg. Caro
line fled to what cover she could find,
tore off ber apron and began biuding
the hurts of the wounded who had
crawled there also.
Johanna, spying a heap of cartridges,
tore off her apron also and began to
fill it. for she mistook them for rouleaux
of coin. A passing officer supposed
naturally she was carrying ammuni
tion to the front and gave ber orders
where to take it. orders which she
dared not disobey. Aprouful after
apronful of cartridges she carried and
the next day found herself acclaimed
a heroine!
Her apron was tied to a staff and
borne proudly at the head of tbe regi
ment. Men cheered ber. the king
praised ber. and she sat at his right
hand at a banquet. Later she married
and was lionized by the fashionable
ladies of Berlin.- 0udon Tatler.
No Title Page In Early Books.
Tbe idea of a title page did liot oc
cur to the early printers. "Tbe boobs
started straight off with lncipif or
'Here beginueth.' without author's or
publisher's name. This causes much
difficulty in attributing earlier works
to the proper sources." The Idea of a
title page with names seems first to
have occurred to a Cologne printer
named Tberboeruen about 1470. but it
was hot generally adopted until fifty
years later. Tbe early punctuation
was very simple, consisting of an ob
lique line and a full stop. One of the
first books to introduce the colon and
notes of interrogation and exclamation
was a "Lactantius" printed at a mon
astery near Rome in 1465. Imprint.
