CLEAN CITY GOVERNMENT.
More than a month ago the coun
cil of Oregon City went on record,
by a vote of S to 1, in favor of the
retention of E. L. Shaw as Chief of
Police.
This action was taken in the in
terest of Clean City Government, and
the council has the backing of the
great majority of the law-abidine neo-
ple of the community.
Following the action of the council,
Mayor Dimick attempted the removal
of Chief Shaw upon charges that have
no actual foundation, but the Chief,
with the council behind him, is stand
ing pat and has continued to see that
the laws and ordinances of Oregon
City are rigidly and impartially en
forced. .
The Enterprise, even before the
council declared itself, announced
through Its columns that Chief Shaw
should be retained in the interest of
Clean City Government, and this news
paper has seen, no reason for chang
ing front.
The Enterprise has no fight on
Mayor Dimick, but we believe he is
making a great mistake in advocating
in change in the police administra
tion. We believe that his action is
alienating his friends of many years'
standing. We believe Mayor DJmick's
own ambitions of a political character
will suffer in the extreme by his
stand.
All this, of course, is Mayor Dim
ick's own business. He is reputed to
be a far-seeing politician and we have
no desire to tell him what he shall
do or what he shall not do, especially
as he has gone beyond the pale of
advice In the matter of appointment
of a head of the police administration.
Our position is plain.

head of South America. The approaching completion of the Panama
canal accentuates the critical condition which it is the point of this
discussion to bring out.
THERE- IS NOT ONE BANKING INSTITUTION SOUTH OF THE

Behind us is the same element that
is behind the city council.
There is no inducement for an of
ficer to do his duty, to transact pub
lic business in the right way, to be
honest and upright, if he is to lose his
job as a result. .
The council of Oregon City should
stand pat on this proposition and force
it through.
.They should see it to the finish and
we believe they will.
Mayor Dimick ought to realize, as
many of his good friends have realiz
ed, that the entire city is interested in
the retention of a man who ha3 been
the best police chief the city has ever
had.

, (By Edgar Bates.)
Oleomargarine might fool the in
mates of the insane asylum, but the
landlady of a prominent boarding
house stirred up a peck of trouble
when she substituted "oleo" for but
ter, thinking that her boarders could
not tell the difference.
A farmer living just outside the
city asks a Portland paper if he must
have a license to peddle his produce
in that city. No need to go to Port
land. There are many housewives
right in Oregon City who will be glad
of the opportunity to purchase farm
produce direct from the grower, part
icularly at this time of the year when
green stuff is scarce.
Taft seems determined that the Su
preme court shall get the Hook.
Church isn't what it used to be.
All of us can remember the long, dry
sermons of a few years ago and the
mournful hymns that we used to sing
from the black covered hymnal. But
now we hear new spirited songs that
are sung with a swing. A pleasing
solo or duet is offered and then comes
a bright snappy little twenty minute
talk by the pastor. Not a deliberate
oration or lecture but an up-to-the-minute
talk about things that inter
est us. A talk in the language we
can understand and appreciate, ana
yet with a message of cheerful ad
vice and helpfulness, delivered with
an effective "punch."

The woman who says Postmaster
Randall should devote more of his
time to local girls instead of giving
such wide publicity to the letters
from women who want husbands, is
certainly giving her Clackamas sis
ters a hard slap. Whoever heard of
one of our young women requesting
assistance in "making a drag in the
sea of matrimony." Statistics at
hand do not show a single case
where this has been done as Clacka
mas County girls can and do get
what they want without any outside
assistance. This writer says that ow
ing to the strenuous efforts of the
Postmaster good men are leaving
here to "marry these women It isn't
that way at all: These outside wom
en don't want the men to come to
them; they want to come to the men,
get married and live in Clackamas
County. But no one need worry about
our own girls, they can take care of
themselves regardless of it being leap
year every now. and then.

Appartment houses for Oregon City
is a new departure and will fill a long
felt want. Desirable houses at any
time are hard to obtain and the
scarcity of suitable dwelling places
handicaps the town. A new comer
arrived here three weeks ago and be
gan a search for a house that was not
far from the center of town. He at
last .has the promise of a house but
must wait till the "D" family moves
out. The "A' family is going to the
county - the "B" family is going to
take "A" house; the "C's" will then
move to the "B1 house and the "D's"
will move to "C's" old house. AH this

posed to be a wit. said to the other:
"Say. old man, have you heard about

"No." replied his friend.

THIS NEW DAY.
Miss the way yesterday?
Try again today. -
If you failed yesterday you have a
brand new chance to sncceed todav.
Because
This is a different world today from
yesterday altogether different When
you woke up this morning you woke
np in a new -world.
This morning? Why, this morning
the world has turned completely over.
And in turning over a whole lot of
people and things were spilled com
pletely out.
For instance
Thousands of people have died dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. And
It will be long before the thousands
who have been born dur: jg the twenty-four
hours will be able to take the
jobs of those who died.
Which gives you a chance.
Get in. Thee are gaps in the line
of the living. Get in before somebody
picks up tho dead man's gun and the
ranks close np again.
And, then, a lot of people have done
what you felt like doing yesterday-
thrown up their hnnds, surrendered.
They are quitters.
There "always are quitters. Every
time one of them steps out there is '
good chance for you to step in.
Yesterday is ancient history.
This is a new day to-lay.
Yesterday yon felt discouraged.
Things went against you. You fought
with your lmcK to the wall. And
your heart misgave you. You thought
you had failed.
Well, you hadn't!
You were just merely being slowed
up some. This morning you had a
new chance. The kaleidoscope had
changed. There was a new, point of
view. You learned something yester
"iay. Use that knowledge today.
It is your tryout..
This is a rough but kind world. It
is putting you to the crucial test. It
is trying you as the furnace tries the
gold. If yon will let it do so It will
melt the dross ont ot yoo- .and leave
the refined gold.
Yesterday? The furnace seemed
heated seven times its wont, but you
are alive! The smell of the fire may
be on your garments, but this is an
other day and you are alive.

gives nearly THREE TIMES as much 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
pie to have their houses and placee of business
wired for electric light. In fact, this new
