1EMI-WEEBLT BAlON RECORDER, MflKCH 31BT, Willamette University Glee Club 3z2g7 8th Address by G. T. Treadgold At Women's Commercial Club Th power possessed by the woman voter is something that will never be appreciated by the public at large until such time as an issuo arises up on which the women unite, then we will find that the itclligent vote of the fair sex is a powerful weapon for clean government, and the welfare o tho community. Recently an organization of tho women voters of Cook county, Illi nois, which is the county in which the city of Chicago is situated, pre pared and sent out to each of the can didates for aldermen in that city the following, statement of principles in tho.' 'form of Commandments; these are tho commandments: . 1 "Thou shalt not bo the tool of any special kitercst, 2 "Thou shalt ,not set tho party above the people. " 3, ."Thou. shalt hearken to (;he, cry for clean milk. ,4 "Thou shalt not forget the death rate of babies in any ward. 6 "Ndther shalt thou forget the morals of the youg; n'or shalt thou bend thy ear to small theatres that fight ordinances of ventilation and clean pictures. 6 "When special and powerful in terests ask for favor tho public pol icy shall bo near thee. 7 "Thou shalt not have an office connected with a saloon. 8 "Thou shalt have' a keen sense of vsmell to detect nuisances and gar bage v11b; dumps shall by thee de a boliahcd. 9 "Thou shalt help to keep amuse ment .for. the city's children. . 1ft "Thou shalt not, hearken to commercialized vico." You -can easily appreciate tho fact that the successful candidates necess sarily pledged thomsclvcs to follow tRe lead f the, women voters as set forth in these commandments; while some of them aro in- a pry general form-and. are not all of them perhaps applicable to local .conditions in Ban den, ypt a scriP3 of (omincndwents to be formulated by lie organised women of the town hero would have its effect in working much needed, re forms andifor'tho benefit. of tha com munity; among them we might putt the?e: .. . i 1. Thou shalt hearken to the cry far clean and sanitary milk, meat and other, food stuffs,- and pledge thyself to give the people of Bandon pure and non-tubercular milk .and meat, by a system of City inspection. 2., Tho) ahalt pledge thyself to and work for a commission form of government. 8. Neither shalt thou forget the morals of tho youngj thou shalt not hearken to commercialized vice, thou shalt vigorously enforce tho law against eclllffg liquor to minors and drunkards. 4. Thou shalt havo a keen sense of smell to detect nuisances and ear- bajfe evils; dumps by theo shalt be abolished. 5. When special and powerful in terests seek for fuvor the public pol icy and tho good of the wholo peo pie shall be near and dear to thee. 6. Thou shalt conduct tho business of the City not as a ruler, but as the sworn servant of tho people. 7. Thou shalt conduct the bus! "PENSULAR" Stands for Reliability. When you buy any of the Pensular Remedies you are sure of getting the best. If You Have Pensular Childrens Cough Syrup Pensuhw Cherry Cough Syrup Pensular White Pine & Spruce Balsam Pensular Laxative Cold Hreaker To Remove Tan and keep the skin smooth there is nothing like Pen sular Cucumber and Almond Cream and Pentuilar Huttermilk Cerate, Cn On Bought At The Bandon Drug Company , , $ "Tk ?Mur tow" Only ness of the people of this city as thou wouldst have thine own business conducted by thy trusted servant, with efficient and careful economy. 8. Thou shalt not stir up strife amoui? the people, but rather avoid factionalism and litigation. 9. Thou shalt either purchase and operate a municipal water works clause in the water company's fran chise so as to give them an oppor tunity to improve their plant and then through the railroad commis sion insist upon purity and adequacy; of supply. 10. Thou shalt not put the emer gency clause on any ordinance unless an actual emergency exists, nor for the mere purpose of defeating a refer endum. What could be' more' appropriate for the organized women of this city to do. what could be more edifying to the commuity generally, what could do a greater good than for this bo:ly of intelligent women voters to take a positive and absolute stand in fa vor of rigid inspection and testing .of all of the milk that is offered for sale in this city and the .exclusionof all milk that will not stand such tests1 this is a phase of public life, that If peculiarly within, tjic providence of the fair sex, for it has. 'to do with cleanliness in the kitchen. and the pre. servation of tho lives and health oi your little ones. Recently in this city a sworn wit. ness in court testified that there wat not a dairy herd in the Coquillo val ley that does not show symptom! among some of its membership at least of tuberculosis; of course you ask where are the state inspectors but the answer - to that is that they are in tho Willamette Valley playing politics. It reminds me of a stanza from Sir Thomas Moore's poem sup posed to depict a starving Irish child appealing to its mother for food whor it says "Do the men of England cart not for Mother, tho great men and the high for the suffering somt of Erin's Isle whether they live or die ? Give mo fhree grains of corn Mother, only three grains of corn to keep the little life I havo to the coming of the morn," and so al tho "the law of the State of Oregon provides for tho in spection of dairy cattle and dairies and of animals that are used for food yet wo witness the spectacle down here in Coos county of butter and cheese being made, from milk furn ished by countless cattle, in every herd of which you' find the hacking cough that marks tho animrl tubetr cular. Cattle arc sold for beef when they are known to bo tubercular, in stances havo happened whoVe car casses have been opened and have been found filled with tho little grape like bunches whenco tho name tuber cular, rind the state authorities care not, the great man and the high, for tho innocent babios' of Coos county, whether they live 6r die, because they have no votes yet and the placid stolid male sex are too busy with oth er things and too politic to make a fuss, but you,, the mothers, are new to politics, and have jio need to be poli tic. You ca raise your voices and protest and insist that even if some action cannot be taken in the coun ty at large, or in tho state that we, a Cold Use in our own city, can and will have clean and sanitary, milk, meat and other food stuffs And if the move ment is started in favor of pure milk, clean milk, non-tubercular milk and meat, there is no reason why it should not extend to the inspection of slugh-ter-houses, and the methods of han dling of meats and when we have the system once working so that we get clean and wholesome local products then let us go still further and insist on full weight and measure let us insist upon a full ton of coal from each dealer when we pay for a ton, let us insist upon a full pound of meat when we pay for a pound, these are small things to you who aro fi nancially fixed so that n few ounces more or less on a pound of meat does not affect you and does not seem worth while, but this is a movement for the benefit of the whole community including the ones who are not so well fixed, and to whom a few ounces on the pound every day in tho week means something. Ke cently I was very much impressed through hearing the comments of Judge McGinn of the Circuit Bench in Portland, Oregon, in a case where a laree nacking company was charg ed with selling short weight butter they contended that any butter woult" shrink after it was packed, but Mc Glnn swept the contention aside witl tho stntnmont that it was easy to rem cdy that by putting in a little extw butter at the start, so that if it shrunk there would still be a ful' pound of butter when he bought a nound of butter, and I believe that wc are just as much entitled to receive a pound of moat or ton of coftl, or quart of milk when wo pay for it ii Bandon as they are to receive a ful1 pound of butter when they pay Tor it in Portland. I could elaborate on the different planks that are vouched for in such a series of commandments, but it would take too long, and most of them are practically solf-expla.itor and need no comment; each day wr see the sorry spectacle on our streets of men whom wo know to bo drunk ards more or less under the influence of liquor, while their families per haps are in need. Certainly we nev er see the families of suoh men over ly well supplied with the necessities and luxuries of life; these mn get liquor from some source, our reputa ble saloon keepers do not sell t'o tllem but some where along tho lino' a mid tile man gets tho liquor and supplies It to tho drunkards and minors. Oui municipal authorities tell us that they cannot locate the middle men but if I were mayor of this town mj police force would locate the mid dle men or they would lose their jobs and then I would locate the middle men myself, and what would happei to the middle men would then be' wor thy of comment. Tho man who sup. plies liquor to a drunkard knowinp him to be such is in the same class as tho white slaver, and question? such as these are questions 'that the women voter should take a stand up on. Tell your candidates that thvy must locato the men who are supply ing liquor to these victums of habit and if they cannot do it then they have not fulfilled their pledge and should quit. UNEARTH SKELETON NEAR MYRTLE .POINT .FARM, Last Thursday afternoon whilo at work digging for tho foundation for a hen house, on the ground just across the county road from the residence he erected last fall on his acreage, Success Never was An Accident The marksman may accidt-ntly hit the bull'H eye once in a great while, but Hard Work, Persistence, Determination .& Prnctice are the prime factum that eventually win surresH.

FIRST NAT'l, HANK Often tluilnjr Nw lur d foiur Albert Harklow and his sons came upon the skeleton of a man which from all indications had been under the ground some thirty or forty years. Tho boy who was wielding tho spade first struck tho blade of a razor which was less than a foot under tho sur face of the ground. Tho blade was badly rusted and tho handle was en tirely decomposed, only n streak of decomposed wood, showing that tho razor was open when it was deposited there. A few inches further down they found tho human skull nnd on further investigation found they had come upon a secreted grave. A case knife with a bono handle was also found in the grave. This knife was so badly rusted that a great deal of it crumbled away with the earth that was about it. Mr. Barklow exhumed all thq bones and says that tho shape they were laying in would indicate that tho man, whoever he was, was put into the grave, which was small and shallow, before the corpse had time to cool. The skull bore evidence that it had been fractured and the theory is that if these are the re mains of a vistim of homicido the man was first struck on the head and then probably his throat cut with the razor which was buried to hido the evidence. The theory of old settlors is thhnt the find probably clears up the mys tery surrounding the disappearance of one Mike Madigan, a young minor, who came up missing sonic thirty five or thirty-six years ago. . Mr. Barklow says that he remem bers that whea he came to this coun try, relatives from the east were hero searching for this miner who had disappeared u year or two previous. Z. T. Johnson, who resided on the Bay at that time, states that he kew Mike Madigan and remembers tho in cident well and he says that the Inst seen of Mike was when he loft the Bay with a burro and a load of sup plies bound for the mines on the Six es river. Johnson says he judged Madigan to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old at that time, and about five feet nine inches tall. The skeleton found, it is said, fits that discription very close, Jjm Guerin," whose folks lived at Eckley in those days, says he also knew Mike Madigan as well as Madi gan's partner, one Poc Ireland. About the time of Madigan's disap pearance Ireland claimed to have )ought Mike's interest in tho mine. Ireland also left the Sixes country n little later but was later heard of in the mining regions of Josephine coun ty. Tho suspicions in the Madigan paso at that time, Mr. Guerin says, were very strong that tho young min er had met with foul play. Myrtle Point Enterprise.
