THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL', TORTLAND. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1312. LEllffililE, THEY'LL HE I ERROR. SAYS Fair Sex Will Not Repeat Mis takes of - Men, Says Mrs. Potter, Leader; Dr. Cordelia Du Bey Sounds Warning. Handsome Floats Interspersed in Parade Another Fepture of 'Interesting 'Spectacle Thera are In" Portland two women able to state and define the problems of today In the simple language of to day. They are leaders In the national moyement of "education for real democ racy. , The Influence of the new, vigor ous west In the present social and. economic evolution Is their present study. They are Dr. Cordelia DuBey and Mrs. Frances Squire Potter, Both are from Chicago. , But they are not reformers. "Beware of reformers," counseled Dr. DuBey, characteristically. "Beware of those who deal In good ness. Much rather do I put my trust la the boodler. The Chicago traction fight, the Chicago school board fight made me say of the one, "Blessed boodlers'; of the other, Holy of holies.' , "I have reference not to the people "Twho do good, but to those who make an appearance of doing good, yet are able to deceive and double cross and falter and fear." Z,.t Women Vote. Of the two Mrs. Potter Is the more enthuslasMo fOr equal suffrage. Dr. DuBey says that for women to vote Is such an obviously normal and logical thing that she can't discover arguments against it worth the answering. But Mrs. Potter said: "Ours Is but' half a democracy when balf the population leaving high school Is politically decapitated. We appear to educate our children In the principles of democracy but we cannot do so as long as the governing Influence Is exerted by men only. It is little enough to say that women govern the home and this is their part. .They should give that sense of proportion and Instinctive appreciation of fundamental things to all that influences the life of home, State or nation. "Let women vote and you will not see thu... uo...b o n.en uo, going in droves to do wrone or make mistakes. Women are essentially individualistic They will not make a mistake because another woman does. They are apt to be in error about small and frivolous matters but pot in the great and determining issues. Women, given the opportunity, will serve as the balance wheel of our political situation." Beat Insurance. Mrs. Potter, who has been sttendlng the National Federation of Women's Clubs convention In California, and wrio made ono of the most brilliant addresses of the session in Golden Gate park, be lieves that with the planning of the edu cational program, the adjusting of prop erty rights and taxation, the forward ing of the world peace movement, the changing of x-'Oiulltlons for the produc tion of individuals whose only liberty Is to go wrong, are all dependent for their best and most rounded develop ment on equal suffrage and the lnflu- j ence of equal suffrage on the psychol ogy of the nation. j "Sixty-six and two thirds of your in come; goes to pay the expenses of army and navy, Io you think that would continue if women had votes. Admiral Reynolds is quoted as saying that war vessels are the nation's best insurance. Best insurance against whatT War and Invasion? Where are war and Invasion to come from? The great nations are mor afraid of going to war than of keeping out of It. The effect on busi ness and business relations between na tions would not permit it." Danger From Canal. "And speaking of proper conditions of living," said Dr. DuBey, who had been listening attentively to Mrs. Potter. "The Panama canal will do this west ern country a great deal of harm un less you plan wisely against It. The east will send its Industries here. With the industries will come the eastern indifference to comfort and character in those who toil. The east will send Its system of overwork and underpay, will send the Influence that starves minds, and stultifies ambitions and loses the measure of real values, unless you are rareful. "The great west would not permit eurh a thing now. But in your eager ness for new Industry, your anxiety for Increased population, your 'boost' spirit, you could easily find yourself led into dangerous conditions." No other woman or man in the emmtry-, it- Is- said.- ta better qualified to speakon the relation of practical ebTucaTToh to " belter mis nTbT iTv 1 ng con dltlons, than Dr. DuBey. She was a member of the Chicago board of edu cation for three years. She was a lead ing factor In the organization of the historic electric railway fight with its partial victory of 60 per cent Income from this service to the city, though falling short of the objective, munici pal ownership. She criticises Jane Ad dams, of Hull House, saying that Miss Addams' fear of the newspapers and her placing of Hull House over a great Democratic educational system for all the. city detracted from an expected complete victory. Cost of Living. She says that Oregon looks like heaven to her after seeing California and ttie east. She believes that the mineral ele ments contained in vegetable products here will preserve the health of the peo ple as forced or hothouse productions never can. She believes that the high cost of living is largely to be solved by having people of fair education and good mind work In the soli instead of being cooped up In department stores. Mrs. Potter was for 10 years dean of women in the University of Minnesota. She Is a leader In the educational thought of the nation. Both are the guests of Mrs. Eggert at the Virginia Hill hotel. Portland Is also entertaining this week Mrs. Helen B.. Boswell, who was sent by Roosevelt and again by Taft to aid In revolutionizing moral and san itary conditions so that men working on the canal would bring their wives there. Miss Mary Wood, who is the chairman of the legislative committee of the New Tork Federation of Women's Clubs, and organizer of the Titanic fund, Is the guest of Mary Frances Isom, the libra rian of Portland. 1 Bremerton float, ' Battleship Oregon.". 2 Denver drill team. 3 Lewtston representation. ..-4 The "Little Ball ' Elk." 6 San " .

We do want to make one loud nolso before we leave, though, and that Is In appreciation of Portland and the Portland Elks. W want to take off our hata to the city for the splendid time we, have had and for the treatment wa have received. "Not once have any of us been held up for high prices as was the caae, unfortunately, at several of the re unions. We do not wish to disparage other cities, but none of them have been In the same class with Portland in entertaining visitors. Everybody was ready at the slightest -word to gtvo information and members of the recep tion committee were everywhere to do everything for our comfort ( "Yesterday's parade was a revela tion. It was the finest spectacle I have ever wltnesed, end the other Tex as visitors say the same. Blmply Charmed. The Portland Elks say the whole program and decorations have been an experiment, but the experimental stage was passed and the finished product has been realized. The city Is beauti ful. "This Is my first trip to the Pacific coast, and I have found the entire sec tion even more than I. expected. If there was an opening for me here" T would be sorely tempted to hurry back from Texas, and especially If the open. lng were In Portland. California is very fine, but I am much more pleased with the climate and business outlook of this city. "Oregon is not the only prosperous state, however, for a wave of prosper ity has struck Texas which is placing business of that state In splendid shape. Fort Worth Is the fastest growing city in the state and now has at least 85,600 people. From 26,000 in 1900 it grew to 78,312 In 1910, according to the cen sus, a gain of 175 per cent. "Fort Worth has splendid shipping facilities," having 17 trunk line rail roads on which to ship products. The greatest packing plant south of Kan sas City, employing over 6000 persons, is located there, and there are 15 large grain elevators. Latch String- Out. "The latch string Is always out in our country and Portland visitors will be welcome when they arrive." Mr. Shuman leaves tomorrow for Se attle to visit the Potlatch, and the re mainder of the Texas delegation will leave as they desire. Many of them plan to go through British Columbia. The delegation numbers over 60 prom inent Elks from all parts of the state.
