LINCOLN MEMORIAL MISTAKE.
Congress has appropriated, with
the warm approval of the people of
all the states $2,000,000 for a suitable
memorial to Abraham Lincoln. Two
plans are under consideration, one of
which must be pronounced a complete
misconception. This is a proposed
road between Washington and the
battlefield of Gettysburg, to be called
Lincoln Highway. It is clear on ex
amination that building a long road
with a few " statues here and there
would scatter the money without ade
quate result, and never be in any
sense a distinctive tribute to a phe
nominal man. What that towering
figure in American history deserves
is a great monument in Washington
where he performed his incalculably
valuable work for the nation and
where he met a martyr's death just as
the preservation of the Union was
assured. A Lincoln monument in
Washington that does justice to his
character and achievements will be
always in sight and mind, a constant
influence in national life. A roadway
would be seen by comparatively few
and fall short of the imposing in every
respect.
It will be necessary to work out
carefully the details of a memorial
conspicuously placed at the national
capital, but it can not be too massive
to match the immortal renown of the
subject. It should be one of the fore
most of the dominating landmarks of

The sympathy of the entire city is
with the fatntr and mother of thi
little lad who was drowned In the
basin last week. But in this life of
continued hurry and bustle no one
seems to have time to see that a
guard-board is placed along Canemah
walk to eliminate the chances of a
repetition of the sad accident. It is
sad to think that a life would have
been saved by the expenditure of a
few cents invested in a single board.
But there are many other things here,
there, and everywhere that need at
tention. With the Foultry Show a matter
of history, the next big "3tunt'' is a

WITH the coming of Lieutenant General Sir Robert S. S Haden-l'owell

pense on other shoulders than their
own. Abraham Lincoln should have
an individual monument in Washing

Nothing indicates any important change in business conditions for
another year, until the next election has at least indicated what poli
cies are to govern in the immediate future. What the country needs
most to assure its steady progress is confidence, REST FROM UN
WHOLESOME AGITATION AND FREEDOM TO DEVELOP
NATURALLY.
All the world is turning to democracy for relief from the arbi
trary rule of one man or set of men over the people. Whatever diffi
culties are incident to the democratic system are more than compen
sated for by the advantages of freedom.
Business, too, needs the application of the same idea. The. ma
terial interests of a country can no5 more flourish than can the political
under arbitrary .control. - -

AT LEAST AS GRATIFYING A3 THOSE OF DEMOCRACY IN' GOV.
What is . the matter with the
Lyceum Course of entertainments? It
looks as if those twenty men who
guaranteed to back the course will
have to dig down in their pockets to
make up the amount they pledegd.
The class of lectures and entertain
ments that are being supplied by the
Lyceum Bureau, is of the highest or
der and they merit the support of
the citizens of this city. But the peo
ple don't turn out, consequently the
finances of the committee is not in the
best of shape.-
There is a woman who lives' on
Molalla avenue who received a bad
scare the other evening. About 8
o'clock in the evening she was alajm
ed by her children running in from
the street, exclaiming that the "boogo
man" was out side. She at fir3t
laughed at the fears of the children
but they stuck to their story so
strongly that she was led to investi
gate. Upon going to the door she
saw a man dressed in black 'with a
white mask on his face walking slow
ly up the road. The first thought of
the mother was "burglars and 6he
hastily barricaded the doors and
locked the windows. She telephoned
to her neighbors and they too could
see the man walking up the hill. But
as he kept going and did not attempt
to molest anyone, the police were not
notified, but the entire neighborhood
was greatly alarmed at first and mys
tified by the stranger. The man who
caused all the excitement is a young
man living a few miles out in the
country and was just returning from
the doctors. A few days previous he
was starting a fire which he thought
needed coaxing. So he took a bottle
which was supposed to contain coal
oil but which was full of gasoline. The
result was an explosion which severe
ly burned the man's face and hands.
The doctor advised some kind . of
cloth to protect the burned face from
the cold wind and this explains the
"white masked burglar."
There was a time when the mere
mentioning of the "Oregon City
Band", caused a smile to go 'round
the crowd. But all this is now chang
ed, for Director Johnston handed the
citizens ot this town a "surprise pack
age" the other evening.' The large
crowd of town folk that gathered at
Seventh and Main streets f Tiday eve
ning to hear the concert were agreea
bly su. prised, and delighted with the
results of a winter's study and work
by the local musicians. Of course a
great deal of the credit is due to M
i ohnston, for his untiring efforts to
assist the organization, but due praise
must be justly accorded to ever
member of the band. They may well
be proud of their performances at the
Poultry Show, and announcements of
future pen air concerta will be eas
erly awaited by all Oregon City..

' The Value of a Name.
Nelson. 'a thriving, hustling English
town, is a living instance of the value
of a name. Not long after the battle
of Trafalgar some tinker, tailor or oth
er person established i) tiny wayside
inn and called it after the naval hero.
There was nobody on the spot from
whom to expect custom, but the road
led to and from populous districts.
Travelers stopped at the r'ace, and
presently a cottage or two began to
rise, then more of them, and the name
of the public- "house answered for the
whole. That was the nucleus of the
present town. Now 40.000 people live
around the site which the old innkeep
er chose and called after the name of
his hero.
Belated Caution.
"Did the burglars overlook anything
of value?" Inquired the reporter.
"I'd rather not say anything about
that," answered the man whose house
had been robbed.
"Why so?"
"Because they'll be watching the pa
pers for a day or two, I think, to find
out." Chicago Tribune.
A Wealthy Vagrant.
Not long ; ago , in Switzerland a va

was found to have his coat padded

fore he had received a legacy of $20,
000 and Tiad registered with heaven a
vow to spend none of it; hence, al
though at the time he was arrested he
was starving, he had kept his word.

Why AH Progressive Merchants
Are Using Electric Light
Progressive merchants everywhere have found
the wonderful MAZDA LAMP an immeasur
able benefit to their business. This lamp rad
iates brilliant white rays nearly like those of
the stm. This SUPERIOR QUALITY of
artificial light is produced by a rare metal fila
ment that not only radiates a perfect light, bot
gives nearly THREE TIMES as mtich light
as the ordinary incandescent-and COSTS NO
MORE to barn It is this remarkable combin
ation of facts that is causing thousands of peo
ple to have their houses and placee of business
wired for electric light. In fact, this new
MAZDA LAMP is swiftly revolutiniing ar
tifcial lighting. It is making electricity the
universal illuminant.
