Minister Declares
We Are Immodest,
Brazen and Cheap

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 23.-"The
age is brash, brazen. cheap, unciv-
il. We are fresh, vulgar, immodest,
common. We can't help being
fresh. We like being just little
immodest, and we mean to go on
being common"
This is the estimate of "A Man
nerless Age" as voiced by Rev. c..
r. Havinghurst, pastor of the First
NJ. T.. church, here.
There are so many propagators
of vulgarity in taste and banners
all around us that ii is almost
impossible not to catch it," con-
,inued Rev. Dr. Havinghurst.
''1he very air is full of the germ.
Those whose material prosperity
has suddenly overtaken them are
especially susceptible. Just now
the influences dominantly current
in America are. Cheap movies. jazz,
making touchdowns, kicking goal,

fort to end an alleged conspiracy to
curtaiI the supply and increase the

The suit was filed by direction
OF Attorney General Palmer and
charges violation Of the sherman
antitrust act. Injunction is asked

Wocdburn City
Council Delays
Sewer Question

Woodburn, Feb. "a At spe-
eiaI meeting the city council con-
sidered the matter of building
new sewer In district No. and
decided to lay the matter on the
table indefinitely.
Two weeks ago the citizens OF
that section of the city held a mass
meeting in the city hall to talk
over the advisability Of building a
new sewer, but nothing definite
was done at that time. The city
council then took the matter up at
a special meeting.
The people of district No. 2 have
connected their septic tanks to an
old drain pipe that was originally
installed to drain the farm of J. H..
Settlemier. This pipe empties up
on some lots owned by s. Deible.
Something has to be done" SAID
Mr.. Deibele. THE tile either must
be extended to carry the refuse
away from my lots or a new sewer
must be put in, 1t Is very un-
healthy to live there. especially In
the summer time when the stench
is unbearable."
THE council does not feel that
1t is advisable to build a new
sewer at this time, as prices FOR
labor and materials are too high'
said C. f. Whitman, proprietor Oh
the whitman Hardware store. ana
a member OF the council. Lots IN
that district would not sell for what
the estimate would be for new
sewer, and that would mean tha'
many people would lose thelr
homes"

state Will Close
Bridge Department
At Oregon City

Oregon City, Ore, Feb. 24.-The
bridge department of the state
highway commission will shut up
shop 20 far as Oregon City is con-
cerned, and has directed its resi-
dent engineer, Stuart Mitchell, to
close his office here, and has
transferred him to Roseburg,
where he will supervise the con-
struction of several highway bridg-
es in Douglas county. The high
way commission has held a resi-
dent engineer here for some time,
with offices in the Commercial club
that the club has provided without
charge, in the hope that the en-
gineering department be of service
In the construction of new bridge
across the Willamette river ut Ore
gon City.
The failure of the Clackamas
county court and the highway com
mission TO reach an agreement over
the new bridge is due TO the re-
fusal OF the county court to ack-
nowledge an indebtedness of about
s220,0 600, which has been advanced
by the highway commission TO COW
er the cost of new bridges an dof
grading on the Pacific highway In
Ciackamas county. The court IL
understood to have entered into a
verbal agreement with the COM
mission to reimburse the commits
sion, but to date, has failed to
nl...se formal acknowledgment
OF the debt, and unless thi sis done
the commission will decline To
shoulder t250.OO0 Of the cost OF a
new bridge. the estimated cost of
which is more than $35O,OOO, the
county having been authorized To
issue bridge bonds up to Sl95,OOO'
on the other hand. II the court
will make good its promise to re-
imburse the commission for the
bridges and grading on the high
way, the commission will take
care Of the cost OF a modern steel

From O. German Naval Man
DMIRAL SCHEER,

that the American people, those in

especially, should not forget.
A man with five revolvers would
be helpless if attacked by an IN
VISIBLE man with a sharp dagger.
The submarine is to great battle
fleet what an invisible enemy would
be to man well armed. No matter
WHAT your fleet is, you are with
out hope in IA naval war if you have
not submarines of your own to de-
fend your coast
And your merchant ships cannot
be made safe by any navy, however
powerful, unless YOU are strong
enough to destroy the submarine
bases of your enemy. Here are
quotations from Admiral Scheer's

double strength cannot enforce it's will upon

the possibility of submarines offering

"Now consider an American-Japanese

81 think Great Britain realizes its mis-
take in permitting Japan to occupy the
former German islands, which become
sort of bridge, inviting the Japanese to

Governor Blaine's message to
~ the legislature of the State of
Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, such men as La
Toilette have educated the people
to think for themselves, and there
men find it hard to get elected unless
they prove that they are interested,
at least moderately, in the average
individual.
Governor Blaine emphasizes espe-
cially, as you will notice in the ex-
tract from his message, the impor-
tancc and the absolute necessity of
providing NOW public work to take
care of the unemployed.
An intelligent farmer keeps his
horse busy. An intelligent manu-
facturer keeps his machinery busy.
An intelligent government, State
or National, should keep its HU-
MAN BEINGS BUSY and see to it
that they get GOOD work, USE
Full work, and decent PAY.
The one problem of this day is
the growing lack of employment.
Governor Blaine, of Wisconsin, sets
a good example to other public Of
ticials in the message from which
IN extract follows:
During the war, substantially all
public improvements were abatcd.
The construction of good roads was
almost impossible. The amount
available for the construction OF
good roads under the State highway
system is about $26,00O,OOO. This
money has been raised by taxation
and is otherwise available, and is
now present in the treasury of the
