CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
SECRECY IN Just the minute some men 'get into office, they seem to be
HIGH PLACES become weighted down with the responsibilities of the
whole government and are afraid to take the people into their confidence as
to their plans for the improvement of conditions in which the people are in
terested. . -
This is particularly true in military circles. The government has issued
orders to all of the commanders of the regular standing army and to the mi
litia of the several states. Those orders instruct the officers to have their
men in readiness to go to the front at a moment's notice. They also require
the ranks of the organizations to be filled to war strength and all provisions
and equipment in first class fighting order.
The troops have been scattered along the Mexican border for sometime
and are concentrAted at points where they can most easily and readily be dis
charged into Mexico in case of trouble. - There is not the slightest doubt of
all of this. The troops of the United States including the militia forces of
this state and of this city are being held in readiness to go into Mexico should
there be the slightest necessity for it and the brazen denials of military men
generally have nothing whatever to do with the facts in the case. They feel
called upon to deny everything that might be said about military affairs' and
assume that secretive attitude that is supposed to denote impending activity
among the troops.
Conditions have come to such a pass that the people of the country no
longer believe any of the denials that military officers make and trust rather
to the reports that come from other sources as to the true preparations that
are teing made in case of hostilities of any. kind. In fact, officers, both of
the regular standing army and of the organized militia, are "in bad" with the
people.
Secrecy does not help matters of this kind. If the officers would come
out flatfootedly and tell the people that they propose to place the army on a
war footing and that the situation in Mexico has much to do with that de
termination, the interest in the military affairs of the country would be ma
terially increased and the confidence of the people in its officers would be
strengthened.
Instead of an open and above-board policy, they give secret orders to the
various commanders and try to keep the work of preparation under cover.
Just the minute that the public discovers what is going on, the officers feel
called upon to deny everything that has been said and the local officials gen
erally take their cue from their superiors.
Nobody, nowadays, pays any attention to what a military man denies.
They expect him to deny everything and anything. He is the greatest denier
on earth except Theodore Roosevelt and Peter, the Apostle. The people
have learned some things after several experiences with military men.
It is regretable that these conditons have come about but the heads of the
departments are to blame for the lack of confidence in the masses in their
work. In matters that effect the common interests as do the military affairs

- Many men guard their appreciation of their wives as though it were
a Masonic secret. Don't let your sense of proprietorship make you feel
that you need not bother to be polite.
If women would spend as much time huilding cages after marriage as
they did in spreading nets before they would keep away the other bird in

oi the nation, the people should be told everything that they can learn with
safety. There is no use in contending that the government is secretive as it
is because of its fear that other nations will learn what it is doing. The min
ute that the officials determine upon any particular line of policy and put it
into execution, the governments of the world are informed and secrecy from
them is no longer possible. The people of the United States are more in the
dark about their own affairs than are the nations of Europe about what has
happened or is going to happen here. '-
.Why don't the officers say straight from the shoulder that the army is to
he increased to war strength and that the situation in Mexico has placed the
department on its guard for trouble there? It would interest the people in
the general welfare of -the army. It would bring out that confidence in the
heads of such departments that the people ought' to have. Secrecy breeds
suspicion and suspicion breeds contempt.
If a man is a good fabricator, his very cleverness sometimes arouses ad
miration. But the military officers are so crude in their work that their state
ments can be checked up afterwards and the falsity of them proved beyond a
doubt. Above all things, public officers ought to play fair with the people
and give that publicity to the affairs of government to which the people are
entitled.
O
INSANE A few days ago, a New York woman left $50,000 to found a
BEQUESTS home for dogs. The administrator of her estate will have
to establish an orphan's home for stray animals and appoint officers to take
charge of the. institution and manage its affairs.
This is another one of the foolish and insane bequests that have come
from New York in "the past few months. Fifty thousand dollars spent on a
home for dogs! It seems" impossible that women of the United States in
such cimcumstances as was this one could be able to write a will that would
pass through a court and could not be contested on the ground of insanity and
yet sign away a. fortune for such an insanse purpose as this.
Yet it has, apparently, been done. With that $50,000, all sorts of bene
ficial work could have been accomplished by the people of New York in the
way of relieving the suffering that exists among the tenement districts of
the city. The Associated Charities, for instance, could have used the amount
to advantage and would have been able to make the money of some direct
benefit to the residents of the East Side,.-. .,-
Or that $50,000 might have been used as Carnegie has spent a large part
of his fortune-in distributing and carrying education to the masses through
a series of libraries. All over the United States a movement is on foot to
carry the education that is contained in the large city libraries to the masses
in the country who are not able to reach the centers in the congested districts.
Such a movement would have been well aided by that $50,000 and permen
ant and lasting good would have been accomplished had the money been used
in some such beneficial way.
There are organizations, too, over the country that are well able to care
for all of the money that people have in inclination to spend and do not know
how to spend most usefully and in a way that will do the greatest good. Had
this been given to education, to charity, to any of the thousand and one other
sources that tend toward the improvement of the' general conditons, some
good would have resulted.

It is a great convenience to place a portion, of their
pin money with us, to be checked against. Pay the
shop keepers with checks a better plan than to risk
the loss of a purse in a crowded store.

Prepare For Cold,
Says Seeress
"This winter will prove to be the
coldest that Oregon City has ever ex
perienced also Portland and surround
ing, vicinity. Much damage will be
done by frozen water pipes, and those
who have pipes above the surface of
the ground, should guard them care
fully between Frebruary 2nd and Jan
uary 6th. To protect them at small
expense, melt an equal quantity of pe
trolatum vaseline and wax, (paraffin)
After wiping the pipes dry being care
ful no moisture is on them paint
them a thick coat of this mixture,
while hot. It can be heated by a lamp
on the stove or by a candle, and kept
in a thick form. Regardless of how
cold it may be, pipes will never freeze
with this coating." This statement
was given out today by Mme. Pearl
Tangley, a woman who apparently

Notice to Water Consumers of
Willamette
It has been rumored by those sup
porting the charter proposed by the
council of Willamette, that if the char
ter is not adopted at the coming elec-.
tion the water rates will be raised.
THIS IS ABSOULTELY FALSE.
The water plant is now being run with
the least possible profit to the owner,
and as soon as the business will war
rant it the rates "will be lowered to
such a level as is consistent with
good service.
I hereby pledge myself to continue
the present rates and I promise that
the price will NOT be raised while I
own the system. -
