CITY OFFICIAL
UNIVERSITY Stripped of all personalities, and local politics the one
APPROPRIATIONS reason assigned for referring the university appro
priations, is this one institution or several. Which shall Oregon's policy be?
The contention of those bringing this referendum is that one great insti
tutiontution under a single board of regents and a single president will do
the work o a secondary education better and more economically than several
institutions separated according to the nature of their chief work and located
at different points in the state.
If this contention can be proven every loyal citizen of Oregon ought to
be in favor o fit. If the proof is forth coming The Enterprise for one, will
be among the first to assume this policy. But experience and facts are
against it.
It is not more economical even allowing for duplication of courses, nec
essary to allow fair election on the part of the student, the big consolidated
universities in such states as have them cost more per student for maintenance
than do the separated schools in those states that fallow that policy.
The possible output of an instructor cannot be increased by organization
and machinery like the output of a steel mill and it is shallow reasoning that
makes any such comparison. It takes the same number of instructors to
handle a given number of students, in all courses, whether they are in one
institution or several.
The history of education in those states which put all their eggs in one
basket is that they educate a smaller proportion of the youth of the state than
where a number of institutions located at different points do the work. The
proximity to the school is the evident reason. More students can. attend
where they can live at home than when they are compelled to establish new
residence at a distance. The fact that most colleges do fifty percent of their
work within a radius of fifteen miles confirms this and argues strongly for
several institutions.
The works done more efficiently in the smaller institution than in the
larger. There can be no college spirit between groups of students connected
with colleges of different grades located on the same campus. But the es-
cAnfi'al rliffprpnrp in xirnrt- rlnpc rpnrlpr cfrifp Thi'c cm'ri't- At rnrnc hac mnrli
o do with the efficiency of student activity. A better grade of men is apt
.. a r br secured in an independent institution ; the personal contact between the
Teal dynamic minds of an istitution and the student is more immediate and
c-ffective.
The commanding position of the states that are filled with smaller insti
tutions is evidence that this is the wise poilcy. It would seem the part of
wisdom to do the work of the state efficiently under present plans, until
a better one is adopted.
At present we have no other plan. Who knows what the plan is that
has framed itself in the mind of Mr. Parkinson, and the coterie of theorists
that employ him ? Who has commissioned them to furnish the plans for the
state? Those boards of the state, whose duty it is to manage educational af
fairs? The regents of the agricultural college and the university? The
board of higher corricula of which Dr. Wilson of. Portland Acamemy, is
chairman, are all opposed to this change. Every responsible state organiza
tion that has so far taken action has approved the present plan and opposed
consolidation. The voters nipped this scheme in the bud at the last election
when they refused even to consolidate the board of regents. But still this
unorganized coterie of individuals continue to insist through the machinery
of government'-that' their way is best and that nothing shall be done to im
prove the present university, no matter what may be the pressure of student
attendance until this new scheme Is finally adopted. .
This matter ought to be settled at this election and we who are not ex
perts in education will do well to follow the unanimous advise of every or
rar..,Tpn' Vinard nf t-Vip state interested in this, and suDDort the legislature in
ts almost unaminous vote in the coming election.
The university needs it, the students are crowded into hallways and
r temnnrarv wnnden sharks, classes are forced earlv and late to ain room, while'
nothing can be done until this matter is approved at the polls. All of which
ought to appeal strongly to the voters of Oregon to settle this policy by a ma
jority that will leave not doubt.

THE STERILIZATION ACT
OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 30. (Ed
itor of the Enterprise) Reforms are
said never to go backwards, but the
ill-advised opposition to the above act
if successful, would be a distinct stop
in that direction. Strange to say, the
opposition is drawn largely from the
female sex.
Reasoning "a priori" it would natu
rally be supposed that every woman
would prefer to become the mothetof
strong, healthy, normal children and
favor every increase tending to that
result. This earth at present sustains
in some kind of a fashion about
one billion six hundred million human
beings. With the modern advances in
medical and surgical treatment, sani
tation and hygiene, leading measure
of plague pestilence and famine infant
mortality and the destruction of war
together with the efforts imtao the
mistaken sancition of so-called Christ
ian philanthropy to keep alive the fu
tile lives of millions of idiots imfe
ciled, insane, deformed and feeble
minded this huge population is in
creasing by leaps and bounds."
At no very distant day mankind
will be confronted with the imperative
necessity of checking the birth-rate
and submitting to nature's ruthless
law of the "survival of the fittest."
Would It not he prudent to make a be
ginning right now, instead of waiting
for the inevitable?
The conditions in the slums of the
cities even of our boasted United
States are shocking in the extreme.
It was recently computed that twenty
thousand children in Chicago . were
sent to school breakf astless !
There are fifty thousand bedrooms
in New York City without windows
nor any means of ventilation where
human beings horde amid the foulest
surroundings in in a worse plight than
wild beasts. How much better if such
creatures compelled to live such lives
had never been born? The steriliza
tion act is but a drop in the bucket
compared with the measures which
ought to be taken. And some day
must be taken to ensure the "survival
of the fittest only." It is limited to
"habitual criminals, moral degenerates
and sexual etaoiet" none of whom it
will be admitted without question,
ought to be permitted to propagate
their kind. It ought to include, and
doubtless will some day every one
tained with syphlis, tuberculosis or.
insanity. In the rapidly approaching
future there will be neither room nor
systenance for such weaklings. Would
it not be better even now to limit the
out-put and raise the quality? The
world is not suffering for the lack of
people, but it is suffering for the lack
or good people. There must be a
moral awakening as to the responsi
bility of the state in permitting the
Bringing into this world of no con
sulted souls in any but the most per
fect environment.
The inherant right of every child to
a well body, is admitted on all sides.
This sterilization act is but a very
small advance in the right direction.
To defeat it would be almost a crime.
As long ago as 1798 Professor Thom
as R. Malthus, the celebrated English
political economis, published his first
essay on the "Principles of Popula
tion," since widely known the world
over as the "Malthusian Theory." The
He enunciated the doctrine that as
population increases in a geometrical
ratio and food only in an arithmetical
ratio, population . must soon outrun
the means of subsistence unless held
back by the necessary evternal checks
of vice, misery, war and moral re
straint. The force of the arguments advanc
ed in the "Malthusian Theory" has
long been accepted since his day,
more than quadrupled, and we are
that much nearer to the specter of
over-population and under-subsistence.
Already the increasing cost of living,
the vast army of the unemployed and
the millions living from hand to
mouth, liable to be reduced to starva
tion at any flurry in the labor market,
brings the question startlingly near.
Are we in Oregon ready to proclaim
to the world that we still rely upon
"vice, misery and war as necessary
external checks" to keep the popula
tion barely within starvation limits,
or do we desire to display our enlight
ened civilization by advocating a very
small step in the advancing of moral
restraints?
If the latter is the purpose of the
voter let her or him mark the ballot
on November 4th "Sterilization Act

- ' Dr. W. SCHULTZE.
OREGON CITY, ORE., Oct. 30.
(Editor of the Enterprise.) I have
been greatly interested in the wet- or
dry proposition for years, and as I
am an ardent advocate for the dry,
yet, wanting to know and fully under
stand the effect in dollars and cents,
as well as in the moral uplift under
the dry regime, I have taken consid
erable pains to investigate the condi
tions in other places that have voted
saloons out. The information gained
M
oPs- '
J
has made me more anxious to see the
saloons voted out of Oregon City. !
These are some the testimonies . I
gathered:
From Eugene: A prominent lawyer: j
Not a prohibitionist, take my drink
occasionally."" The question I put to
him were based on cold dollars and j
cents first, then on the moral condi
tions. The lawyer: "Mrs. Norris, 1 1
would have to lie to you if I told i
you it had not greatly benefitted Eu- j
gene; all the saloon buildings are filled
with new business, and many buildings
have been erected, and rented for mer-
cantile uses. The undesirable hangers-;
on around saloons are gone, some j
drunkeness, but . much easier to ,
handle. The college boys and girls I
better protected from this evil, , a j
greater amount of -street improvement,
an inorpflsinf nnnnlntinn " Mnw nrn
these people in Eugene molly-coddles, '
that they will persist in keeping the
saloons out, if conditions are only half
as bad as stated by Mr. Vietor in your
paper a day or two ago? The last
election went three to one in favor
of prohibtion. My next evidence was
gained by personaly visiting Albany,
beginning the first year of prohibition
and continuing yearly for three or
four years. On my first visit the
board sidewalk prevailed, .loose and
dilapidated at that, the town had a
sleepy, don't care appearance; each
succeeding year iprovements marched
steadily on in every direction. Now
the city looks as if some magician had
waved a fairy wand over it so great
is the change. Must we believe they
do not know enough to get away from j
the
terrible condition existing that
Mr.
V. tells about but go right on
saying. Keep tne saloons out, uno ao
it at the polls, too.
How these places must need a
Guardian to tell them how much they
are losing by not having a few thou
sand dollars saloon taxes.
Two weeks ago I was in Hood River
and I interviewed five prominent busi
ness men, all property holders, a hard-
ware merchant, house-furnishing mer-,
chant, a banker, a livery man, and a
butcher, and to a man they said,
"now after five years trial we are so
well satisfied that we will never mind
you, never vote saloons back in
Hood River." Of the banker I asked,
"how does your city meet its finan
cial obligations," the reply came
promptly, "all right, the city is get
ting on splendidly."' Since my return
home I have received a letter from
another prominent business man in
answer to one I wrote to him as I
had not time to interview him person
ally while there, and this is what he
wrote: "For twenty-five years I have
had a great deal to do with the labor
ing man and have always been inter
ested in the betterment of his condi
tion. Would dislike very much to see
Hood River burdened with the. saloon
again, and have no hesitancy in say
ing that I know that the men and their
families are more prosperous under
ocnidtions as they have prevailed of
late years." Yes, there is some merit
in the statement that they do go to
other towns that are "wet" and occa
sionally come back with 'a supply of
"booze," but such cases are rare in
deed, as compared with abuses close
at hand. I am going beyond where
you asked me to go, however, and
will conclude by saying that saloons
and liquor have caused to the busi
ness I represent thousands of dollars
of loss. If they have given anything
in return I would gladly give them
credit for it if I knew hat it was. What
I have told you is my very best judg
ment." This man is neither a professed
Christian or prohibitionis, just a level
headed, straight business man, one
willing to contribute to the better
ment of the laboring man.
Voters, and women voters who are
to cast your first ballot, do you think
these men in Hood River need a
"Guardian?" I think you will say by
your vote, we will see for ourselves
the benefits coming from a saloonless
Oregon City after Nov. 4. Don't be
scared by the cry of increased taxes;
the man who goes into the saloon to
and from his work for only a glass of
beer will pay over the bar in a year
more money than enough to pay all
taxes on a good comfortable home by
many dollars.
Money thus saved will go to make
for greater comfort and happiness at
home, and an increase self respect,

race, but back of them all stands al
cohol as the chief degenerative fact
or." So says Dr. T. Alexander Mac
Nicol, of New York. The doctor adds,

the drinker but by the drinker's chil
dren." Shall we keep alive this vici
ous monster to .cripple and main lit

OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 30. (Ed-
Itor of the Enterprise) There is not
)a man or a woman upon either the
men's or the .woman's committee of
One Hundred, constituting the Clean
City League, who is not a voter, and
most of them are taxpayers in the
county.
There is not a single member of the
Anti-Saloon League connected in any
way witn thig campaign. - We were ap-
proached by the league, who offered
to send us speakers and helpers, but
we kindly, but firmly, refused their of
fer, determining that this campaign
should be carried on wholly, as far
as we are concerned by Oregon City
citizens.
! The Anti-Saloon League have neither
members nor workers on the field.
Nor are we in correspondence with
them regarding the campaign. Some
of them have Criticised our plan of
making the fight alone, but we have
confidence enough in our citizens to
think that all that is needed is to
make the appeal to the better judg
ment of our people.
I In conclusion, we ask can the same
things be said with regard to our
friends upon the other side of the
fence?

Is the fifrst signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite is
often caused by functional disturb
ances in the stomach. The stomach
fails to do the work required, the ap
petite is gone, and the body suffors
from lack of nourishment. Such a
stomach needs to be cleaned and
sweetened. Meritol Tonic Digestive

While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and at

hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
no one can tell, because it does It
so naturally; so evenly. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. Do this
tonight, and by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared; after an
other application or two it will be
restored to Its natural color, and be -even
more glossy, soft and luxuriant
than ever. -
