The Best Cure for White Slavery.

Medford Sun: There is no cure
all for immortality any more than
there is for disease What might be
efficacious in one case would be
worthless in another.
The present investigation into the
causes of the white slave traffic,
however, only emphasizes the great
need of education.
Most missteps on the part of young
people are directly due to ignorance.
The devil charms by keeping in the
dark. No long acquaintance with
his satanic majesty is enjoyed They
take him then because they can get
no letter. 1t is his mystery, not his
person, that attracts.
The handspring of most human
action is the desire for happiness.
Few people need to be warned
against contracting tuberculosis.
Few need to be admonished not to
jump into a fire. That is because
they have been educated to know
that consumption kills and combus-
tion Injuries and destroys.
There would be the same principle
of self-protection at work concern
ing this meretriclous primrose path
if it's pathology were as well and
generally understood
The wages of sin is death-that's s
the long and short of it.
Ieople who thtcw the ten COM
aDdments over as excess baggage
and proceed to "see life end by
losing it. They always come to the
realization with surprising sudden
ness that they have been fooled. In
the mad rush to enjoy themselves
they lose all enjoyment The rake
ard so-called scarlet women are the
saddest peoplpe in the world
When young people hear this in
lectures and sermons they don't be-
lieve it. 1t is the "goody goody'
bunco again, So they satrt out
gaily to beat it and are beaten
badly, wretchedly, shamefully.
If they had been educated, hat
been allowed to know the truth un'
der the direction Of the proper per
sons, how much wanton suffering
would have been spared?
We need decent living wage, we
need harsh laws against the procurel
and the red light property owner
but above all we need knowledge
the truth passed around the worlt
and sent into every school and home
When the devil is as well under
stood as geography or arithmetic, hi
followers will be few and his down
fall will be certain.

ADVOCATES PUBLIC MARKET.
ROseburg Gardener Urges One in
That City.

Roseburg News: Some time ago
a resolution was introduced in Rose
burg's common council relative to
the establishment of a public mar
ket in Roseburg. Can you tell the
progressive farming element of
Douglas county what has become of
that resolution and when the coun-
Gil is going to ACT upon it? The
public market at Medford has prov
en- a decided success. and during the
berry season the market reports
show that $3.50 per day is taken in
by the producers over the 20-odd
booths in the market building. Dur
ing the summer season the average
weekly sales in that market amount
to $4,000, money that the farmers
and gardeners adjacent to Medford
handle every week, and which final
ly goes into the hands of the local
merchants of that progressive little
city. The same conditions can be
duplicated in Roseburg, for we all
realize that any amount of garden
truck, chickens. etc, can be pro-
duced around Roseburg. but the
present trouble is IN finding a mar
ket for them. Conditions in Rose
burg for the establishment of pub
lie market are simpler than they
were at Medford. for in the latter
city the grocers fought the PROPOSE
ton, while in Roseburg the local
merchants have signified their ap-
proval of the project, as, under the
present system. they are compelled
to lose more or less trade through
the dissatisfaction of the producer in
being unable to unload his products.
A public market would act as a stim-
ulus to the grower, as he would then
come in active competition with his
brother grower, compelling him to
exercise more care in the growing
and packing of his products for the
market. and as he learned how to
cater to the local trade with attrac-
tive goods, in time he would learn to
comparatively cater to the high-class
trade in the larger cities. The mar
ket superintendent at Medford ad-
vises with the various growers, helps
them to decide what to raise, how to
market the produce to the best ad-
vantage, and to curtail the raising of
any one line of produce so that the
market will not be flooded. The
| public market at Medford has not
only opened the door to many grow
ers near Medford, but it has lowered
the cost of living in that city, ques-
/ tion which is agitating the minds oi
most people at the present time. The
market is open three days ever!
I week, Monday, Wednesday and Sat
urday. and every week $50 dressed
chickens are sold direct to the con
sumner, and the produce consumed il
that city is absolutely fresh from the
soil. Some people say that Roseburs
is too small for public market, bu
Ashland is taking active steps to es
tablish such market. and the grow
ers of Douglas county feel positive
that much more produce would b'
purchased by the housewives Of
Roseburg if they were sure it wa
absolutely fresh and it could be pur
chased without amy middleman
profit. MARKET GARDENER.

CITY DADS
DELIBERATE
Mr.. Kirkpatrick Has Grievance
Property Owners Ask For Change
In Sidewalk Line and Sewer Ex-
tension,

The city council met Tuesday even
ing in regular session with Mayor
West in the chair and Councilmen
Peck, Bond, LaCour, Younic and
O'Neil present.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick appeared before
the council and complained that since
the city had had culverts put into
his ditch at street crossings, the
water flow was so obstructed that
it backed up and overflowed the banks
and it was impossible for him to get
good head of water on to
land. The matter was referred to the
street and alley committee.
The pending resolution on street
paving was laid over to next meet
ing awaiting some advise from the
city attorney.
In the matter of the Parkinson ditch
outlet, it was deemed advisable that
the matterb laid on the table to
await the decision of the councilmen
of the fourth ward in regard to sew
er extension. If they extend the
sewer, the ditch will be drained into
the sewer.
City Engineer Young reported that
he had run the side walk line thre
blocks south on Stout avenue. Pro-
perty owners along this line appear
ed before the council and asked that
the line be changed to run parallel
with the trees on their property, and
after some discussion it was decided
that the council look. over the ground
this morning in a body and see if
such change would be advisable.
A petition was presented by Judge
]. G. Fisher asking fora sewer
extension Of three blocks south in
the alley between Stout and Fisher
avenues. The Judge was informed
that there was only 5000 available for
such extension. but if the property
owners saw fit to furnish the balance
they would be reimbursed as soon
the money was available.
Manager Green of the telephone
company appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked permission that his
company move their line in front of
the Tom Reel property nearer the
sidewalk line to avoid trees which
gave him considerable trouble and
stated that the property owner would
not grant permission to trim the
trees. Mr.. Green was informed that
this property was about to change
hands and the new owners would
help the telephone company out OF
it's difficulty.
Councilman Bond reported the pur-
chase of a street grader having Sc
cured it at a low figure.
The water works ordinance which
was to have come up for it's first
reading, was not ready for the
council to act upon.
1t was decided by the council to
run the sprinkler a double shift and
the street and alley committee was
instructed to employ another man
and team for that purpose.
| A bill from J. p. Moran for cement
work was laid over to next meeting
when the monthly bills are allowed.
The report of Sewer Commissioner
Smith was read and approved.
Meeting then adjourned subject to
call of the Mayor

FLOODING PUBLIC
ROADS PROHIBITED

That all persons and corporations
will be prosecuted for violating the
law in regard to flooding the public
highways, is shown by the action o..
the county officers whose duty it III
to prosecute such violations of the
law.
The Blackfoot Irrigation Company,
a corporation, was recently charged
with allowing water to flood the
county road near Wapello. William
Drew, who is watermaster of the said
company, said that the flooding was
due entirely to an unexpected ris
in the river, which caused rubbish to
come down the canal and form
against a headgate, thereby backing
up the water until it finally overran
the banks and flooded the road. The
matter was heard before Probate
Judge l.. Ivan Jensen, who agreed to
suspend sentence until it was deter
mined whether the flooding was caus-
ed by the negligence Of the company
or by the unavoidable rise in the
river Not many days interviewed
before the same thing happened again,
which showed that it was not SO
much an unavoidable accident as it
was the fault of the company in flood
ing the road. Judge Jensen immediate
ly ordered that fine of $25 be pa
by the said company. Harry Bennett
secretary of the canal company.
promptly camo in and paid the fine,
and was reminded by the court that
If the Offense occurred again the fine
would be doubled
The County Commissioners of this
county are doing commendable work
in putting the roads in first class con-
dition, although it requires great ex-
penditure of money and work, but
the advantages from having good,
solid, comfortable roads to travel
upon are not to be compared with the
money and labor expended.
When the roads become impossible
by reason of some person or corpora
ton becoming careless and negligent
with the use of the water, the Of
tense presents a very grave aspect,
and there is no question that the II
nit OF the law should be invoked
against offenders who are so insen-
sible to the rights and needs of the
| travelling public.
