"THE KERRY DANCE."
OH. the days of the Kerry
dancing!
Oh. the ring of the pip

Oh, far some of those hours
of gladness,
Gone alas, like our youth too
soon!
i When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning ;
Made us long' with wild delight.
Oh. to think of it.
Oh, to dream of it, fills my heart
with tears! , ..;
Was there ever a sweeter colleen
In the dace than Eily More -Or
a prouder lad than Thaddy
As he boldly took the floor?
"Lads and lassies, to your places!
Up the middle and down again!" ;
Ah, the merry hearted laughter
Ringltig through the happy glenl
Oh, to think of it,
Ob, to dream of It, Oils my heart
wi'h tears!
Time goes on. and the happy years
are dead, .
And one by one the merry hearts
are fled
Silent nirw is the wild and lonely
glen.
Where the bright, glad laugh will
echo ne'er again.
Only dreaming of days gone by In
my heart 1 hear
Loving voices of the past once
more
And the sound of the dear old mu
sic .
Soft and sweet, as in days of yore.

There are 29 teachers in Clackamas

Canby paying its principal $100 per
month.
Milwaukie paying its principal $115

And Oregon City pays its city school

nually for twelve months' continuous
work. . ; . '
With the increase of his salary to
$1600 annually, the county school su
perintendent will assume in artHitinn
to his regular duties the duties of one
supervisor, tnus making an actual
saving of several hundred dollars to
the taxpayers of Clackamas county. -
The present salary was fixed in
1899 when there were fewer school
districts and the number of school
children was less, and the salaries of
principals ranked from $47.50 to $80.
There positions are now paying sal
aries from $90 to $115 with the in
creased amount of work; higher cost
of living and increase of teachers sal
aries in general; that of the super
intendent of Clackamas county has
remained the same.
Since 1899 the salaries of 22 county
school superintendents have been in
creased. Some of these are:
. 1899 1913
Multnomah $1500 $2500
Jackson 1000 1800
Crook 400 1600
Columbia . . 550 1300
Grant 700 1200
The gross injustice of our county
superintendent's salary not having
been increased must be apparent to
all. And every fair-minded voter will
surely cast his ballot in favor of this
increase.
Respectfully,
ELNORA G. GINTHER.

OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 31. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise) The types
frequently make the soberest writer
shockingly incoherent! ...
fmwm
Several distressing examples occur
in my article on "The Sterilization
Act" in this morning's issue. "Favor
every measure" becomes "favor every
increase." "Leading to the control
of plague, etc,." is transformed into
The somewhat trite dictum, "the in
herent right of every child to be well
born," assumes the inaudlin form
"the inherant right of every child to
a-well body!" Everyone has heard
the sad story of the gentle young poet
who wrote: "He kissed her under the
silent stars," and .killed himself when
the types made it "He kicked her un
der the cellar stairs."!

WILLAMETTE, Ore., Oct. 31. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise) Kingly allow
me to correct a mistake published in
the morning paper a few days ago,
wherein you say that Willamette
"has only a three-mill tax." Last year
we were assessed ten mills, city tax.
The new charter reads that five mills
will be levied and an additional five
mills if the people want it.
Please publish this at the rfeoest of

WHAT I SAW IN IOWA.
OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 31. (Ed
itor of The Enterprise) For the wel
fare of my fellow men, I will tell some
of my experiences in Iowa. For twenty-four
years I lived in that state and
for most of that time was engaged in
a work which enabled me to get ac
quainted with the greater part of the
state. I found towns with no saloons.
a clean, well educated, highly re
spected, Christion population, , wttn
nice homes, flourishing- business, tho
people living in peace and plenty.
Then I found some towns where
they had saloons: There were dirt
streets, broken sidewalks, a class of
poor people who had to be support e-1
by the town. Therefore the taxes
were very heavy and most of the time
the jails were occupied. Yes, I saw
i- , . i I.. . : i" . i i , ,
lAJvio m a, uisgraueiui conuuion, DUt
the saloons in a flourishing, candition.
The saloons in Iowa produced a bitter
fruit insanity, profanity, - poor or
phans, poverty and murder.
What the saloon did in Iowa it will
do anywhere else and for that reason
all the Christian people of Oregon City
at this time, should vote the saloon
out. I do love the saloon keeper, and
they surely deserve a better occupa
tion. While the saloon keeper' and
the brewer may fear a financial loss
from a dry vote, still it will be a gain
on both sides.. ' . , ' " '
Mr. Pfifer a brewer at Cedar Falls,
Iowa, had an experience in this line.
In one of the meetings of our church
at that town, Mrs. Pfifer got converted
and without the urging of any man,
but by the voice of the Holy Spirit she
took an axe, went into the cellar and
broke the bottom of every barrel, and
then got the men folks to pump out
the cellar into the street; and from
that day the brewery of Cedar Falls
has been closed. Two years ago Mr.
and Mrs. Pfifer's children gave $20,
000 to an old people's home at Cedar
Falls in honor of their parents. What
is possible in Iowa is also possible in
Oregon City.
