CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
THOSE STOCK Reports from Portland tell of the" first arrests made
SPECULATIONS under the provisions of the new blue sky law. Two
men have been held under the provisions of the act and are charged with the
iolations of the law. They have, according to the charges against them,
sold stocks in their corporations before they obtained a permit from the sec
retary of. state.
In this way, the blue sky law stands as a bulwark between the people and
the speculator. It protects the women, the widowed, the fatherless from the
smooth and oily dispenser of worthless stocks. In this and other states for
the past several years, there have been numbers of schemes that have floated
in. which the widows' and orphans suffered most heavily.
A loaded gas bag, an inflated proposition from beginning to end, they
nevertheless attracted the person with a small amount of capital to invest
and take the savings of years from those who were the least able to stand the
loss. There is now no question but that the law as enacted by the legislature
of this state will protect the people from many of these schemes that Have
made the western states more or less notorious for the past few years. All
sorts of fakes have been perpetrated by these scheming speculators and they
have launched everything from new irrigation projects to insurance and ac
cident companies.
There is no more notorious or worthless rascal generally than the man
who takes the small earnings of others through the medium of some of these
fake schemes. The law is wise in providing a felony punishment for the
perpetrator of such schemes and the punishment of the man who is guilty of
them.
" When the sufferings that have been brought to the new settlers in west
ern states and landed on new irrigation projects that were worthless are
alone considered, regardless of the thousands of other ways by which the
speculators profit, there is no punishment short of the extreme penalty that
i too severe in riding the state of a pest of this kind. The man who brings
people from the East to settle on land that he knows never has seen water
and could not get water until Gabriel blows his horn, is a felon in the begin
ning and the law but so declares him when it sends him to the penitentiary
of the state. He has made other to suffer. Why should he not get a taste
of some of his own medicine ?
It is not in the spirit of vengance, however, that the state should look at
such matters for the state and society generally has no interest but in its own
protection and the reformation of the criminal. But it is a protection to the
state and a wall of rock between the innocent and unexperienced investor and
the man who schemes andjlots to get his money that a law of this kind is
needed and that it has been enacted by the legislature of the state.
This is the first case that has been brought under the new law. It will
probably mean that the statute will receive its first test in the courts. Though
it is highly probable that the law will find its way successfully through the

Modern Craze For Speed Proves jjj

IT is the obvious fact that you are GOING TOO QUICK. You are
I cursed with the delirium of speed and a speed along the paths of the
most vile materialism.

most impolitely bolt your food you'll disorganize gastronomic functions.
Nationally you are bolting terrifically, and you are IN THE THROES
OF ECONOMIC INDIGESTION.
The old definition of speed hits off the whole situation. For what is
speed but A MEANS BY WHICH YOU MISS AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE BETWEEN THE POINT OF DEPARTURE AND THE
POINT OF ARRIVAL? When as a.child you ate your candies as fast
as possible so as to get them all and quickly,' how you longed to have
them back again ! .

And if you will go tearing across the crust of this planet earth in auto
mobiles at the,.rate of fifty miles an hour YOU CANNOT HAVE
YOUR SPEED AND ENJOY YOUR SCENERY TOO. And jtoo late
you will, find that your emphasis is wrong that the scenery profiteth
more than the speed.

labyrinth of the courts, there is need for some sort of a law that would pro
tect those who need just such protection from the fake plotters and get-rich-quick
Wallingfords that permeate the western states and have permeated
those states for many years past. Stories are daily printed in the newspa
pers of the country of the sufferings of settlers who have been "bunked" by
these enterprising fakers. Many are the stories of death by suicide that have
come as the result of absolute hoplessness of men and women on some of these
tracts in our western states. Many are the reports of 4ailures in the finan
cial lines, loss of business, loss of homes, loss of families because of the nefari
ous designs and notorious plots of these schemers.
It is to be hoped that the new law will have the effect that it was intended
by the legislature and that it will successfully eradicate such a pest from this
slate and become an example to other western states in enacting legislation
that will protect the innocent and the helpless from the unscrupulous and
designing. . ,
O
SCHOOL PROBLEMS The problems of education that this county and
OF THE COUNTY every other one in the state has to face are such that
no county court can afford to play with fire in its selection of the man who
is to handle the affairs of the schools. -
Education is an important factor in the reduction of crime. It is an im
portant force in the elevation of the intelligence of the community, of the
county and of the state. For that reason, it is a matter of vital importance
that the county courts of the state should be extremely careful in the selec
tion of the man who is to have complete charge of the educational matters
in the county and whose dictum is final on all matters that pertain to the
county schools.
The court of this county realized that proposition when it made the selec
tion of J. E. Calavan for county superintendent yesterday It appreciated
the responsibilities that he has to shoulder and the difficulties that he must
meet. It also appreciated his ability to meet thereu For many years, the new
superintendent has been connected with the rural schools. He has had ample
opportunity to see the conditions in the schools as he has become acquainted
with them in his travels from one district to the other and from one institu
tion to the next through the several districts. "Tie knows the conditions as
they are and he is well able and thoroughly prepared to meet the problems
that will be brought before him in his new place. As a teacher, in these
schools, he has already met some of those problems. As county superintend
ent, he will be called upon to meet many more of them and on a larger scale.
It is well that the court made its selection as it did for it found in the
new superintendent a man worthy of the place and careful of wisely discharg
ing its duties. So many capable men are to be found in the small rural
schools of the county that the court had hard work in finally determining the
man for the place. Experience is a great teacher and there are several men
in the districts who have had lots of it and would make good superintendents.
The action of the court is a wise one in this instance and the good work
that was started by Superintendent Gary, will be ably continued by his .sue
cessor. The Enterprise is heartily interested in every phase of the educa
tional problems of the county and it believes that the new superintendent is
a man whose experience and training is balanced by a judgment and clear
sightedness that will bring material results in the way of improving the
conditions of the county schools.

Read the Enterprise for the news.
He read reports from the decision of
the supreme, court in the Portland
case. The case, he says, applies di
rectly in that the backers' of his prop
osition latei; want to construct a
dock on Eleventh street and that the
line would interfere with the con
struction of the dock.
Harvey E. Cross said that such a
difficulty could be easily overcome as
the upper deck of the dock would be
on a line with the road and the lower
deck could be built to accommodate
the teams and wagons that carried
loads into the place for shiment by
boat.
Father Hillebrand of the Catholic-
church opposed the construction of
the line because of what he consider
ed a necessary loss in value of the
church property that the line entailed.
He said that it would place his church
between two railroads and the proper
ty to that extent damaged. C. T
Tboze also fought against the con
struction of the line on the ground
that it would materially damage his
property on that street.
Railroads Oppose.
Harvey E. Cross finally answered
the arguments of the opposition by de
claring that the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company and the
Southern Pacific lines were the real
enemies of the new road and that
their opposition to it was responsl
ble for some of the opposition that
had been manifested at the council.
He said that almost every proposition
that indicated progress in the city
ever since he came here had been-op
posed by some faction or other and
that some even opposed the construc
tion of the bridge over the Clackamas
river and the erection of the court
house on its present grounds. He said
that in all of the time that he had
been in the city and the county he
had never seen any progressive move
suggested but that there was some
bunch or other to make a kick.
The franchises will be discussed at
a special meeting of the city council
one week from Friday when final ac
tion will possibly be taken.
CONFIDENCE IN TEAM
In spite of the fact that the Univer
sity of Washington team will prove a
heavy favorite in the battle for the
intercollegiate championship here Sat
urday, Dean Walker, captain of the
Oregon team last year and graduate
manager at present, is not discourag
ed at the prospect of apparent defeat.
The Oregon man believes that no
team in the conference could have
beaten O. A. C. last Saturday and at
tributes it to the natural desire of the
O. A. C. players, naturally stung to
the quick by attacks of the press,
critics and pubic on their lack of
gameness.
Nothing will make a man fight so
quick as a reflection of this sort, and
it was only natural that the Aggies
would play as they never played be
fore. Walker believes that the Ore
gon team is as strong as it was given
credit for being before the game with
O. A. C.
