While it Is tr-c tV:.t th's U an of spocialu .tlon. It does not so. in particular y amiss that them should bo two such dnersi gatherings aim ultaiieously in the city. Ha.lier does It Seoul that one will act us a bawn for the other, and that each will add zest and Interest to the oil. -r. It is quite possible that the dolegat-a to ; the Sunday School convention, afto their day's attendance at session wher-1 purely religious and education al matters ar. discussed, will find a pleasant recreation In watching the revels ot the Hoostor Pay crowds, and in sharing witli them the entertain ment provided. It Is also not nt al: unlikely that the people who come to town to visit the Stock Show and to see the parades and generally to have a good time, tan gain some mental improvement and new ideas by at tending- a few of the meetings of the convention. In fact, the double na ture of the occasion should prove a benefit to all. particularly as there is but little chance of either feature interferring with the other. At first blush there may seem little enough in common between a Hoost-T Day celebration and a Suuday sci.no'. convention; but when one thinks of the matter seriously, there are ad vantages that accrue from the two fold gathering. Oregon City can very capably entertain the visitors to each division o( the activity; nnd the in terniinglng of mirth and assertiveness on the one hand and seriousness and 1 modesty on the other should increas-' j the success of the three days. Here's ! hoping both features will be more sue- j cestui than their promoters antici pated, and that visitors attracted by I both gatherings will be glad to tbej presence of the other. i MUCH DEPENDS ON The old story HOW IT IS SAID of the Oriental potentate who put bis grand minister to death because be sai l to him, "Oh. sire, you will live to see all your min isters and court die and I avt. you," and who subsequently elevated the court tool for saying, "lb joie oh my master, for your life shall be long and happy aud you will see n w generations artV' lo do you honor." seems to be quite closely parallelled in the pres'-nt "crisis' That Is report ed to exisit between Japan and th' nited States. The lower house of the California legislature has a bill prohibiting "all those not eligible to citizenship' from boiling land In th state. The senate has a hi", of ex-1 actly similar import only instead of providing that "those not eligible to citizenship" cannot hold land, it sets forth that only "citizens" may hold land. Japan feels that the first bill Is a direct slap at her p -opb as Is probably so but the second bill is ac ceptable to her because there Is no phase of its wording upon which can be hung a diplomatic objection even though the bill has the nam? purpose as the first. Japan realizes that the Cited States has a perfect right to legislate as she will in regard to hot citizens, but she objects t() l 'giHlalio.i directed against those who a t not citizens. It. is a small thing. In the final analysis, but possibly the point is well taken. The moral of the whole thing seems to be that it is wis-i to consider carefully the language used whether the wording figures in a matter of inter iationa importance, or in nierf; personal int-r,"oiirse. What has become of the cluster lights? Several months ago wer? heard rumors that property owner were going to buy the cluster stand ards and the city council might be prevailed upon to furnish the ;lec1tl city used in them. Since that lime we have heard little of the matter. In an interview with a number of the property owners along Main street. an Enterprise reporter found that all ; of the people he talked with w ,-re as anxious to install the lights as they : ever were. We would suggest that Mr. Price, who was the chairman of the Live Wire committee on cluster lights, get busy and arrange for the lights t:o thnt they might 1; Installed before the tourist season this Bum mer. We are sure that any person who has i:e'-n the cluster light, which rr&ck licie-b has installed in front of his property will say that they are a great improvement.
