Ford at the Elliott Garage, who are
the agents for this popular line of
cars. The lines of this new model
car are beautiful indeed and the
mechanism of all Ford cars is the es
sential thing that makes them the
most popular of all the makes. Their
ability and durability as well as their
1-jw coat of maintainence 's well
known in this county where more
than one-half of the automobiles own
ed are Fords.
In addition to the awarding of this
grand prize the Enterprise will give
a series of other valuable prizes to
the different contestants for the larg
est number of votes obtained in cer
tain periods. These extra contests
will be held every ten days and the
contestant who makes the best show
ing in that time will be awarded a
handsome prize. The first of these
contests started Monday and will
close the first of March. To the one
who gets the most votes in that per
iod will be presented a merchandise
certificate for $15 which will entitle
him his choice of $15 worth of
merchandise in one of the prominent
stores of the city.-
' The standings of the candidates in
the automobile race will have no bear
ing .on the $15 merchandise certifi
cate contest although every vote cast
by a candidate in his efforts to gain
this $15 worth of merchandise free
will be credited to his standing for
the bg prize. In these ten day con
tests each contestant start out alike
and the prize goes to the one who
turns in the largest number of votes
in that time. These special contests
are held for the benefit of those who
want a chance to win valuable prizes
for a little work and do not have the
time to keep in the big race. Any
one can enter the ten-day contests
at any time, but no votes can be
transferred to another candidate for

days. '
The big ballot box is now ready at

THE Colony Club of New York was recently the scene of an exciting
fencing match between the Baroness de Meyer of England and Mrs.
William H. Dewar of Philadelphia, the contestants representing the
women of England and the United States respectively. The baroness
had been anxious for some time to meet a worthy antagonist among Ameri
can society women,' and, though, in the nature of things, it is impossible to
name a champion fencer among the women of the United States and Euglaud,
the victory of Mrs. Dewar may be said to entitle her to that complimentary
distinction. The match lasted only 'seven minutes and was decided by the
Judges (who were men, though the Colony is a' women's clubi as having been
won by the American by a score of 2 to 1 Mrs Dewar has been studying
for five years under the direction of a professional teacher of fencing and tins
had frequent practice with the members of the University of Pennsylvania
team and of the Fencers' club of Philadelphia The prize of the Colony club
contest was a silver cup given by Mrs. Payne Whitney " "v"

certificate on the first of March.
JUDGE LOWELL SCOIS INTERESTS
(Continued from page 1.)
settled is,- how to retire business in
terests from politics without destroy
ing the financial and industrial fab
ric of the nation. As lives of nations
are measured we are 136 years old
and still in our infancy. Popular gov
ernment is still an experiment and
the responsibility is on you and me
and it is our duty to see that this
experiment does not result in failure.
"The last commandment is the foun
dation of government and never will
government of the people come until
this commandment is obeyed.
"There is an uplift of manhood
everywhere. Thrones are - toppling
and we now see the blue blood ot roy
alty sitting by the fireside of the aver
age man. Unless we as citizens and
brethren dedicate ourselves to these
truths there will be no government.
There is nothing sacred about govern
ment. It is only an experiment, it
is for us the average men, to say
what shall be done to protect our
selves from the power of money and
if we do not arise to the occasion
our govermnent will fail as thousands
of governments have failed in the
past.
"We have seen government fail in
Turkey and the oppressed have arisen
against the oppressors. We have
seen it in Mexico and I tell you that
we do not understand the inner truth
of this ereat struggle for indepen
dence of the downtrodden in our sis
ter republic whose citizens are fight
ing for government by the people.
China has become enlightened, ana
while the present government may not
last it will be re-formed and new ideas
will have been injected and Holy
Writ will be the underlying principle.
"In Germany we see the rule of
socialism but the socialism of Ger
many is but the insurgency of Ameri
ca. The absolutism of Germany will
not last forever and the time will
come when she will take ner place
with France and America, In govern
ment by the average man.
"The fallacy of the Divine Right
of Kings of the feudal ages is- extant
in England and we- have the specta
cle of American wealth presuming to
bow to the, throne of England, at the
recent coronation, making themselves
ridiculous in the hearts of the true
American citizen."
Judge Lowell paid a tribute to Da
vid Lloyd George who, he said, had
the courage of his convictions in a
monarchy and who had the strange
position of a man who reeached out
with one hand to aid the oppressed
while with the other he curbed the
throne.
"Existing politics," continued Judge
Lowell," are the politics of the day. I
shall not talk partisan politics but the
time has come when questions must
be settled, not by wealth and power,
but by the average man who will
awake and settle the matter of the
fireside. '
"The average man when seeking
relief from the power of the predatory
interests has ever been confronted
with an insidious power, that of abso
lutism. It is not by the shedding of
blood that this great question of pop
ular government should be settled but
by the use of intelligence and the free
use of the pen. If the solution, is not
by study and thought then I warn you
that the common people of which you
and I are a part will, in another gen
eration arise and a deluge of blood
will result if the power of the inter
ests continues. ..
"This is the time of universal
peace but Providence may yet have
a use for the shotted cannon. I am
not an alarmist. But I do appeal to
you one and all as American citizens
to. do your duty and assist in every
way possible in solving the problem
of government It requires the wis
dom of every man in the nation.
"In our own state of v Oregon we
accept the Oregon system as wise be
cause it is a movement toward a non
partisan democracy, it is safer tnan
the old system but the pendulum has
swung too far. While we must sus
tain the direct primary, yet it must be
modified and made an instrument
valuable to us. There are two or
three things in the direct primary law
that I ' wish to call to your atten
tion. "Registration may be made by a
notary public, at the court house or
by the signatures of five signers. Why
not let the assessor register the vo
ters in his trips about the country.
Then it is all done at once and if
there are any ommissions it is easy
to- correct them. There is great
abuse in registration of voters on
election day by obtaining the signa
tures of five freeholders. If a man
is not patriotic enough to register
when he ought to register then he
should not be permitted to vote at
the eleventh hour.
"The initiative and referendum I
believe are wise but I am fearful that
unless there is a restriction placed on
the initiative it may topple over. It
is not wise to present to the people
the consideration of forty measures
at once to vote upon. I believe that
there should not be more than seven
questions to vote upon at a single
election. There is no harm in the
referendum, it is merely a check pn
the Legislature.''
Judge Lowell In closing, heartily in
dorsed the Panama Canal project and
predicted a world-wide change in the
policies of European and Asiatic coun
tries as a result, stating that event
ually the 1 aeross-the-water nations
would have as the fundamental prin
ciples all thoes principles that our
fathers fought for. He closed his re
marks with an appeal to all to dedi
cate themselves to the cause of Lib
erty as did the great Lincoln.
The initial remarks of the evening
were made by R. C. D. Johnston in
behalf of the National Guardsmen of
Oregon City, urging that the matter
of an armory be seriously considered
by the members of the Brotherhood.
Mr. Johnston stated that the National
Guardsman was the most misunder
stood man in the country and speak
ing from experience as an officer, he
said: - -
"There is nothing done for the
guaradsmen here in Oregon City and
I would advocate that you gentlemen
study the needs of this branch of
the army. In the event of war ninety
per cent of the men who go to the
front are those men. who come from
the guardsmen. The National Govern
ment puts it up to the state.
"We need an armory here. One
third ' of the expenses are1 borne by
the state, one-third by the city and
one-third by the county, but the arm
ory belongs finally to the county.
An armory for; the guardsmen here
could be used not only for drilling but
could be made a center of civic activ
ities. At the same time a swimming
tank and gymnasium could be install
ed which would attract the young men
of our city and provide for them a
place for recreation.
"On behalf of the National Guards
men of Oregon City I ask you of the
Congregational Brotherhood to inter
est yourselves in this all important
subject." ,
Mr. Johnston's- appeal met a cor
dial reception and the matter was
freely and favorably discussed after
the meeting: " '
Professor Gary called upon Judge
Grant B. Dimick to Introduce Attorney
Q. L. Matthews, of Portland, who
spoke on ' the subject, "The . King's
Garden" dwelling particularly upon
the importance of work in the lives of
men. ' He stated that the only way
God can manifest himself is through
man. Work, he said, is something done
because it ought to be done. -Urging
the necessity of work he felt con
strained to dwell on the importance of
play." " -- : - - "
"We are all playing the game of
money, said Wr. Matthews. "It is a
game of chess. The weak, the needy.
"I want to give every person not using
electricr light THREE vital reasons why the
MAZDA LAMP should make them have their
house, store, office or factory wired.
FIRST:
The MAZDA LAMP gives nearly
THREE TIMES THE LIGHT of the ordi
nary carbon incandescent.
SECOND:
It COSTS NO MORE to born.
THIRD:
The QUALITY of light is vastly stiper-
ior a clear white light like sun rays.'

"Teach your boy how to work for
the good of his fellow man. Do not
teach -him -to fight but to co-operate,
for co-operation is the law of life,
Mr. Matthews scored the trusts and
said that, we had learned the falsity
of the old saying, "Competition is the
life of trade." He said it has been
recently proven in the trust investi
gations that " competition is the
death of trade:'
"We in Portland are not, working,
we are playing. The plans offered by
Mr. Bennett have met with various
objections on account of some petty
graft. Work is the solution."
Rev. Edwards suggested in a few
remarks that at future meetings pap
ers be prepared on whatever subject
tending along the lines of what oth
ers of the country are doing toward
an upward movement. He announced
that the basement of the church is
to be converted into a hall 46x60 feet
to be used for various social purposes.
He advocated for the better interests
of the club that six Sunday nights
be devoted to social and civic discus
sions. C. A. Goodrich, District Fruit Com
missioner of the First Oregon Dis
trict, predicted that the near future
will see East Clackamas county cov
ered with a multitude of orchards and
urged that trees be kept clean. -.
A recitation by William McLarty,
"Betsy and I Are Out" caused much
merriment.
Rev. Dr. Ford indorsed most heart
ily the remarks of Judge Lowell say
ing that "We are in need of a leader
and never before was leadership more
needed. We need a pathfinder, not a
pulse feeler," suggesting that Judge
Lowell was the man to take up the
cudged for better and popular gov
ernment. ' ' ; ;
Other speakers were Rev. Lands
borough, Rev. Haworth, Judge Dye, J.
H. Henderson, B. Vedder and Prof.
Tooze. Music was furnished by Leon
Des Larzes and Harless Ely, violens
and Oscar Woodfin, piano accompan
ist. The banquet was furnished by the
ladies and was much commented on
for its excellence. The- tables were
prettily decorated with cut flowers
and potted plants.
It was announced that the March
meeting would be Agricultural Night
and each Big Brother was expected
to bring a Little Brother.
By Jupiter, Take This.
The letter "R" at the bead of a!i pre
scriptions Is derived from the Latin
word recipe.' the Imperative meaning
"take." Tl little dart over tbe tail
of the "R" is the symbol of Jove, or
the Latin god Jupiter, and invests the
writer with his authority by the pow
er of Jupiter. Therefore the sign prop
erly reads. "By Jupiter, take this."
