By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born In

Forever float that standard sheet! -Where

With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming

THE AFTERMATH
UPON a platform, of tax reduction by means of retrenchment; by use of
the veto power; by application of new methods of raising revenues; bj
cutting down expenses, and by promising larger values for the money ex
pended, Walter M. Pierce has been elected governor. His campaign was per
sonally and politically bold and aggressive. His interpretations of the public
mind were keen. He made the most of existing conditions and added to him
seif votes. He assumed responsibilities in so doing which will require cour
age and carefully directed judgment to discharge. That he may prove equal
to the requirements" is the belief and hope of his supporters.
Mr, Pierce will enter upon his career as governor with opportunities all
about him for accomplishing great things for Oregon. He is committed to a
program endorsed by a majority of the people, but vigorously, if not bitterly,
opposed by a minority. He can reduce taxes and obtain the applause of all.
In his plan for adding new sources of taxation he will be both commended and
condemned. ,
In his appointments lies an opportunityto rise above the plane of parti
san politics in the service of the state. In affairs controversial his vision of
equal rights and opportunities will be put to the test.
His big majority in a normally Republican state, indicates that his elec
tion was not alone upon party issues. His duties as governor are not partisan,
but are to be performed in behalf of all the people without regard to politics,
Randall, Philip Hammond, Fred Meindl, M. J. Lee, W. H. Clark and F. J. Tooze,
the encouragement of every citizen of the commonwealth.
Randall, Philip Hammond, M. J. Lee, Fred Meindl, W. H. Clark and F. J. Tooze,
have taken upon themselves exacting and important duties Clackamas county
has many interests which will knock at the door of the legislature for active
consideration. Her tax burdens and other problems coincident with other coun
ties, call for solution at the hands of her and other legislators. Team work
will be necessary among this county's, delegation. Co-operation and coordin
ation with legislators, from this and other counties, will be essential for local
and. state-wide success.
It is the desire of all who represent this highly diversified and notable
section of the state to do everything possible for her advancement and her
happiness. .With the constituents co-operating frankly and helpfully, 'there
should be a satisfactory accounting by these public servants the people's
choice. - " .
ALTOGETHER NOW
THE city hall site, for two or more years buffeted about by'voters, council
ind courts, hag at last found a resting place at the corner of Seventh and
John Adams streets. The voters "did the landing by 4 vote of 911" to 697, or
a mrajority of 214 votes for the hill site. They defeated the present city hall
site by 399 to 1091, or a decisive majority of 692 almost a 3 to 1 vote.
This decision leaves no alternative for the council. Their duty is to pur
chase "the Caufield property at the corner of Seventh and John Adams streets
for 5,000 and proceed to build the new city hall at a cost within the 35,000
voted for this purpose months ago. Further delay in the purchase is Inex
cusable.
Whatever the arguments for a downtown location, they should no longer
perjudice or sway the actions of either council or people. The decision of the
malority in this city, as in the republic at large, should be accepted by all
sides as one of the results of democracy.
v. The site selected will be hailed by the hill section as evidence of general
city-wide improvement and progress. And this viewpoint, accepted generally,
will turn valuable effort, recently expended in Controversy, into power for the
general good. . . . '-

CITY FATHERS
WITH the city electiorover, "fifty per cent of the personel of the legisla
tive branch of city government is composed of new members.' Four
new councilmen will occupy seats in the council at the beginning of the new
year. Three of the present members were candidates for re-election. They
have given much time and effort to the city in their official capacity. That
official efforts should be appreciated is right, but seldom acknowledged. The
. vacillating policy with regard to the cfty hall; controversial subjects not at all
connected with their duties; illness .of one member, and the general public
attitude that "others might do better," resulted in the "landslide."
. The new councilmen will enter upon their duties with full desire to ac
complish great things for the good of the city. They have a right to the co
operation and encouragement of the citizens. ,In some things they will suc
ceed; in others they will be doomed to disappointment. By some they will be
encouraged and by others they will be "kicked." It is merciful that they are
confronted by confidence and hope.
The budget committee should not expect them to make "bricks without
straw," nor should the public erpect them to render other service impossible.
They have unusual opportunity for real service, if given a fair chance.
The re-election of Shannon with greatly increased majority over his op
ponent of two years ago, is taken as an endorsement of. his administration,
and here's to him and his official family success and public appreciation.
OUR LEGISLATORS;
, rnpHE legislative members elected to represent Clackamas county are Re-
publicans. There were two Democratic nominees who went down to de
feat chiefly because of lack of votes. If the county had been entitled to seven
instead of five representatives and senators, it is conceded by both parties that
she would today be very fortunate. - ' "

RESPONSIBILITY
THE fire department has been voted additional funds for the employment
)f additional firemen, up-keep of apparatus and general maintenance. This
has been done in the face of mounting taxes and the demand for even more
rigid economy. The chief reason for the affirmative action of the voters was
protection. The excellent work of the department also stimulated a favorable
vote. 4
The department is entitled to pride in the confidence and trust of the pub
lic, but they should not and will not fail to recognize the added confidence and
encouragement as also an added responsibility. "
GOVERNOR IS GAME
GOVERNOR OLCOTT exhibits fine characteristics in his congratulatory
message to his victorious opponent. Void of feelings of envy or ani
mosity, the Governor gamely wires Pierce, at his Union county home:
"Please accept my congratulations upon, your very decisive victory. If
there is any way I can assist you in your new duties, command me. Oregon
means more than the personal fortunes of any man or any set of men and it
is my hope thatunder your administration she may grow and prosper." n

What Becomes Of Sonny's Work
By Mabel R. Young
At- first sonny is surprised and just
a little disappointed when his work
is thus disregarded. Then: he rea'ches
the "don't care" stage where he often
throws his pictures or cardboard toys
in the street on the way home. Final
ly his schoolwork is done in a care
less, hap-hazard manner; for, it has
become a mere task to be done. There
is no longer any incentive to much
effort.
What can we do about it?
Here is one mother's idea. ' Make
a sufficiently large book of - heavy
brown wrapping paper either sewing
it together or fastening it with small
clips in order that additional pages
Sonny now goes to school, and al
most every day brings home some lit
tle article he has made. He comes
homo, full of enthusiasm over his
work, telling just how It was done,
how long it took him, and above all,
how carefully he did it. There Is
pride in his vplce as he tells you about
it pride in his bearing as he shows
his prize; for his work, has meant
thought, effort and panstaking care.
What becomes of his handiwork?
Probably it is praised, then laid
aside, to be lost or even thrown away.
