To draw attention to the election
Wednesday, when the fate of bad roads
and chuck holes will be decided. Mrs.
Sarah A. Evans, president of the Ore

the following official proclamation to
Multnomah County ciuo..
At th. annual convention of the son
j , u-Atnnn'a filth at HOOtl RIW.
or a resolution was adopted unanimously
lndoralnz the good roads movement.
. Inrilr.rt wiv tou never until
h. orient have had an opportunity to
make sood your pledge, for with u an in
"orment should mean not n
.upport. but out active, energetic ork. This
oDoortunity will come to ua when the bond
Sue for better roads In Multnomah County
la to be voted on.
Wo would conaider It almost an iniult to
ini.nir.n to io Into any lengthy
. w-trT- roadi in Multnomah
County, for we have learned that prosperity
does not lie in me n''i 7' 7
cltlea bat In the settlement of the country.
i . L. ' .nMaKihiM town market.
We clubwomen all know that where there
are good roads there are better rural schools,
and greater development among the eh li
ven, and we nave learnea. xruiu
tion experience the hardships, the depriva
tions and the starved Uvea of the women,
who. during the season of rain and mut.
'are confined to the four walla of the farm
house for the want of good roads
As business women -no --
nuuiloai tou realise the in
creased value of property .where there are
good roads, and that there Is no greatei
Inducement offered to settlers or tourists
than goods roads and -this class of people
tni.ni permanent prosperity and the cir
culation of money.
But do yon know that Multnomah County
has only three and one-half miles of paved
roads outside of Portland, and King County
Sattle has 110 miles?
But what Is of Infinitely more Importance
to every cltlsen of this country Is the re
lief the bond Issue will give to the unem
ployed. , ,
Everv Idle man that Is given work lessens
the taxes of the community and relieves
It of a burden of responsibility.
Approximately 80 per cent of the money
from these bonds will go for local labor,
and at no period In our country's history
have we been under auchNa weight of ob
ligation to create work tor the unemployed
Drci.nl. It Is far cheaper, more
humane and much safer to pay a email
additional tax for something which spells
nrnnrltv" In every phase of It than to
hand out cold victuals to the back-door sup-
u'nhle-t in addresslnr you Is ot to
mnvinM vnu of the necessity or economy
of this bond Issue, which I do not deem
your Intelligence needs, but to call upon
you to -make good your pledge by going
eut and voting for It. '
Indifference Is the most dangerous enemy
any good movement has to contend against
and this is no exception, but let It not be
said that thla bond issue and all it means
to the women ana cmioren nu
ployed of thla country, failed because the
women were too Indifferent or too indolent
to go to the polls and vote.

mont made a stirring address in which
she said:
It IS most aignmcant mat people
Interested in woman suffrage recog
nize its importance to be greater than
that of any other public question of our
time; so much so that they gladly make
everv possible sacrifice In order to. re
spond to the call to meet in council
and decide on the most effective metn-
ods to adopt in their pursuit of the
vote. It is one more proof that 'when
a woman wills, she will.'
"As a member of the executive com
mittee of the Congressional Union. I am
in thorough accord with the one great
principle to which it stands committed.
and that is to secure the suffrage for
all the women of the United States.
'The actual voting strength of the
women of the 12 enfranchised states,
added to the ever-increasing number of
those who are demanding the ballot, is
a strong weapon with which to impress
the authorities In whose hands lies tne
power to extend tne rrancnise to an
the women of the United States.
"But we must not lose sight of the I
importance to the Federal amendment
of winning New York for equal sui-
frage next November. New York,
known as the battleground for the
rights of women! Here it was that
Lucretia Mott called the first woman
suffrage convention, which met in the
town of Seneca Falls, -the home of that
intrepid spirit. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
'Here it was that Susan B. Anthony
lived and .labored for women through
out a long-life of great and noble deeds.
And here Indeed lies the key to the
political enfranchisement of American
women.

preparing manuscripts for- publication
the A is to, present them in a profes
sional way, that is,, to use typewritten
sheets eight ani one-half inches by five
Inches high, that they may fit in the
linotype case. . .
The first sentence or page of a man
uscript is invariably the index of the
story to follow.
"To succeed one should be systematic,
carefully consider what each editor de
sires. If one wishes to make money from
writing, take up eight or 10 differ
ent line.-", for Instance, practical busi
ness articles, farm magazine subjects.
Western stuff or give a new garb and
a fresh point of view to some old
fahloned subject
"Simplicity in telling stories is essential.-
"One must prepare the mind for
writing and then write the subject out,
b'iving place to new idease which will
come faster and faster. Writing is all
Inspiration. When one is inspired, do j
not let the thoughts escape. Some
where, somehow, we will attain our
ideal of self-realization."

gave a paper on the subject: "The
Photo Play Sources of Material." She
Is convinced that the photo play is a
permanent thing, but that one and
two reel productions will become the

Miss Bain said: "In writing them
one should reflect life as it is. -In im
agination lies the appeal of the film.

material all about. Never throw oft
alertness. Analyze every laugh, study
every face of Interest."

MARION CROPS PROMISING
Fruit Inspector Declares Outlook
Brightest In 2 3 Years.
SALEM. Or.. . April 10. (Special.)
Fruitgrowers in all parts of the county
say the prospects for a large yield this
year are -fine.
"I never saw such fine prospects for
a fruit crop as this year." said C O.
Constable, county fruit inspector. "I
have been In this county 23 years and
the fruit outlook for this year leads
them all. The rains have not damaged
the buds." .
L. J. Chanin. county agriculturist.
said that fruit conditions were ideal,
and that farming la farther advanced
than it had been for many years this-
earlv In the season.
"Grain jhat was thought to have
been -killed Is coming out all .right,"
said Mt. Chapin. "More fruit is set
ting than the trees can bear, and I
believe peaches will nave to De
thinned." '
The first calloon ascension took place ml

UMEROUS small cascades, hidden
by the ruggedness- of the coun
try and by the growth of timber
and vines, were-explored by Alfred F.
Parker and Charles A. Benz, of Port
land, In a hike from Vlento to Cascade
Locks, last ' Sunday. They discovered
many falls, unnamed and practically
unknown, and Mrs. Benz obtained a
number of photographs. Some of these
falls, they declare to be fully a3 beau
tiful, although not so large, as the
more famous I cascades - along the Co
lumbia River.
The two left Portland about mid
night on i the train, accompanying a
party of other Mazainas as far as Bon
neville, after which they proceeded on
alone to Vlento, arriving - there about
1:30 o clock. They camped for the re
mainder of (the night in the passenger
station and made a start for "Cascade
Locks about 7 o'clock.
Starvation : Falls, about- a 'mile west
of Viento. -was the first to be reached
on the trip. It is located back from
h mrh y in n bountiful little glen
which forms a picturesque setting for
the cascade. A little further west an
other falls was discovered . which, so
far as the hikers knew, ha never been
named. It was in such an inaccessible
location ' that' it was necessary for Mr.
Benz to climb a tree before a picture
could be taken. '
One of the most beautiful cascades
seen on the trip was discovered a lit-
tie further on. The two explorers re
port that It Is a-bout- half as high as
Multnomah Falls and forms a perfect
ly even fall of water. . Near ' Lindsay
fall was discovered which appeared
like a perfect lacework of water. It
was about .a quarter of a mile back
from the highway and it was Impossible
to get a near view. .
A series of cascades was discovered

PORTLAND, April 10. (To the Ed
itor.) The chief trouble with "One
Who Knows" and' others of his school
of thinking is that they make the mis
take . of assuming theiir . own special
temperament to be the true measure of
human character, and that consequently
any different personality must be ab
normal and wicked. .
Because he finds- that dancing does
not fit in with his impulses and tem
perament, he jumps to the entirely er
roneous conclusion that he himself
must be "pure" and "good," while those
who find pleasure in this amusement
must.be fainted with "sin."
To set oneself up as the model for
all human conduct is, to. say the least,
not exactly a perfect example of Chris
tian humility. It argues rather a most
unholy pride.
Allow me to point out another un
warranted assumption of . "One Who
Knows."
He speaks of the sexual life as it It
were almost too vile to be talked about.

He refers to the most natural Instincts
as "carnal and Impure." This language
shows that he is really suffering from
what -the psychologist might term a
"mortified sex-impulse," that Is, the
sexual impulse, having been denied a
legitimate expiession, has turned upon
itself, as It were, and permeated his
whole mental life with the sort of
psychic corruption which causes him
to see only evil In things entirely, nor
mal. It Is the revenge nature frequentu
takes upon those who deny her primi
tive potency.
No present-day psychologist denies
that there exists in human beings a
perfectly healthy and natural sex-im-pulse.-
This impulse is entirely phys
iological: that is, it is the proper func
tion of certain nerve center. In thor
oughly healthy persons It Is absolutely
certain to manifest itself, just as sure
ly, for instance, as the action of tne
diaphragm in breathing.
Not to recognize this fundamental
fact of physiology- andv psychology
means that your conclusions on such
subjects as dancing, which truly enough
is a. secondary sexutvexpression, will
be tainted with hopeless confusion and
the grossest misconceptions.

ALBANY TO GET'' MUSEUM
Library and Lecture Hall Also Aro
to Be Erected.
ALBANY. Or.. April 10. (Special.)
A free museum, library and lecture hall
will be erected tn Albany by Dr. J. 1
Hill, prominent pioneer physician, and
one of the city's best-known men. Lr.
HIU will build a two-story structure
40 by 90 feet on Washington street be
tween Second and Third streets. The
lower floor will be devoted to his large
museum and the upper floor to a
library and lecture hall. He plans to
donate the use of this hall lor lectures
upon any subject so long as no admis
sion is charged.
Dr. Hill has one of the largest pri
vate museums In Oregon, embracing
hundreds of specimens of birds and ani
mals of all kinds from all parts of the
world, relics-of pioneer days and curios
of various kinds.

Far from dancing being wicked and
"sinful," it is in reality a salutary sub
stitute for tiie more primitive expres
sion of one of tbe mot powerful slid
overwhelming Instincts of the human
organism. Dancing Is a healthful clian
nclj under proper circumstances. In
which the sex-Impulse may be allowed
to expend itself In a harmless way.
Dancing has teen compared by Have
lock Ellis, whom I notice "One Who
Knows" cites as an authority, to a
lightning rod which leads the sexual
Instinct safely to the ground. Other
wise It might strike and do irreparable
damage.
It is nothing less, than folly to fancy
that this Instinct, implanted In human
ity by a biological process extending
back over millions of generations of
living things, can be rooted out or per
manently held back. That method hs
been tried by thousands of puritans
and ascetics, with results often fatal
to health and sanity.
Public morality is genuinely "pro
moted by allowing persons of the op
posite sex to 'dance with each other
under healthful conditions, where tho
air is good and no dust arises from the
floor, and where halls aro properly
lighted, so that unscrupulous persons
may not be able to use- force or decep

enced young women.
The alternative of wholesome public
dancing Is generally hypocrisy and far
reaching hidden evil, assuming at times
a most vicious and abnormal form.
