Creator of Sher lock Holmes CERTAINLY THE OLYMPIAN GAMES HAVE WON FOR AMERICANS A PRIME PLACE AS AN ATHLETIC NATION, BUT I THINK THEY WOULD BE WISE SHOULD THEY SEEK TO GENERALIZE MORE THAN TO SPECIALIZE. AS IT IS, THEY TRAIN FOR ONE THING AND THE RESULT OF WIN NING OR LOSING SEEMS TO BE THE PRIME FEATURE OF THE SPORT. THE ENTHUSIASM SEEMS TO BE CENTERED IN THE END RATHER THAN THE PLAY OF THE GAME. t - . ' That the American people have made enormous strides in the ath K tic arena in their short history goes without saving, and if they will only develop the GENERALIZING of sports rather than being tjwiii lists only they will naturally INCULCATE THAT SPIRIT. IX TIIK PEOPLE generally to the better athletic development of the people themselves, which, of course, will naturally TEND TO WARD THE CULTIVATION OF A SPLENDID ATHLETIC COrXTRY.' For it is seemingly evident that nearly every sport that is intro duced brings out strong capabilities. For example, take football. I have seen most delightful football in America, and, of course, it is prinmrilv our irnine. I have only one fault to find with it, and that is that It i unnecessarily rough. It is a most satisfying sport, indeed, to the average Englishman to witness an American football game with this one exception. In fact, all .American sports seem to DISPLAY VIGOR AND APTITl'DE thai with just a little broader conception of the game must continue to place them at or NEAR THE TOP OF THE WORLD. 1 Dillman&Howland REAL ESTATE AND GENERAL INSURANCE busy and provide the city with an ele vator to the Hill section by polling a solid vote for it.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE SOCIALISM VS. CHRISTIANITY. OREGON CITY, Nov. 20, (Editor Morning Enterprise.) Apropo of So cialism and Christianity it is worth while to observe that Socialism as a plan for the economic reconstruction of society is neither Christian nor'an-ti-Christion. The attitude of Social ists toward religion depends upon the Socialist. There is a wide range -of difference, all the way, from the Christian Socialists of the last century like Charles Kingsley, of the Church of England, to the anti-religionist quoted in your editorial of Sunday Morning. There are those who be lieve that the carpenter of Nazareth was the first great Socialist and that to establish the Socialistic program is an act of faith; while others are so thoroughly antagonistic to every ex isting institution that they would fain read God out of the universe. Before we judge a man's religion or politics it were best to let him speak for himself. The significance of Mr. U'Ren's candidacy for governor de pends, in my judgment upon two things: the work he has already done for the state of Oregon and the plat form upon which he proposes to run. GEORGE NELSON EDWARDS COUNCIL IS DEFENDED. OREGON CITY, Nov. 20. (Editor of Morning Enterprise) After reading Mr. Hackett's article of November 18, on "Protest Against City Debt," I MORNING ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1912. It Was A should say that the taxpayers and those having the welfare of Oregon City at heart are in a measure to blame for the condition that exists here at the present time as they do not attend the. council meetings as they should and support and encour age the men who are making honest efforts to advance the most vital in terests of Oregon City: There are men in the present council who are work ing until near midnight trying to do their duty by the people whom they represent against what appears to an outsider to be a very discouraging proposition. -- ' The matter of the O. W. P. freight franchise which the council have un der consideration at present is a very important item to the future of Ore gon Ciy and if the taxpayers would ', attend the meetings and assist with I their presence the men whom they ' ask to do their business for them, ' some of the members would not be so ready to give very valuable, f ran : chises and priveleges to corporations ! which ask for them for trifling con I siderations.

Kubli, Past Exalted Ruler, of Portland Lodge No. 142, made a force ful address, in which he lauded the local lodge on its magnificent temple on the banks of the Willamette. He dealt with the principles of the or der, which he said, was not as old in years as many others, but it was well to the top in numbers. Gilbert L. Hedges spoke on the sym bol of the order the American flag. He told of its origin, how it had stood , floating high in the air in many battles with Great Britain in the days of the colonies. A body which is growing in the Pacific Coast, he said, who show no respect for the flag, will find that some day, the people as a whole will i arise against them. The American ! people as a whole, he said, were slow ! to anger, but when they reached that point they would protect the flag and counry. The local lodge was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. K. K. Kubli pre sented for the Portland Lodge, a large clock. J. E. Hedges responded to the presentation speech, and said that all members of the Oregon City Lodge held a warm spot in their heart for Portland Lodge, and he said had it not been for the able assistance which the Portland Lodge had given the Ore gon City Lodge when- it was being in stituted, there would have been no gathering in the room this evening. He spoke of the Portland Lodge as the parent lodge and thanked them for their splendid gift. A. M. Blaker, Exalted Ruler of the Vancouver, (Washington) Lodge pre- i sented a reading lamp to the local ; lodge. In presenting the beautiful ' lamp, he extended an invitation to j the Oregon City brothers to visit j them in their home at any time.- Grant B. Dimick responded to his speech, and thanked Vancouver for its splendid gift. He said in Elkdom state lines were not known and that one brother, though he were humble, was as high as the brothers who were ; rulers of the land.. I A beautiful vase of chrysthemums was presented by the Albany Lodge. Grand Esteemed Loyal Kn;ght, Wil j liam Eagles, a member of Albany i lodge, made the presentation speech. ; Walter A. Dimick responded in a few j words, thanking the Albany lodge for 1 its elegant gift. . -j A filing cabinet was presented by j Eugene Lodge, Major L. D. Forrest j representing the lodge. Livy Stipp I spoke in behalf of Oregon City Lodge i thanking the Eugene lodge for remem j bering them. Bayley's orchestra played a number ! of selections and the Oregon Male j Quartet was called back several times after rendering the "Old Mill WheeF'. Miss Kathleen Harrison sang "A Gypsy Maiden I". It was a jolly lot of the finest repre sentatives in Elkdom that thronged Busch's Hall in. the evening and with their wives, sweethearts and sis- tersr they made merry until long past mianignt. xne nuge ball room was tastefully decorated with the ever pop ular purple and white and the flags of the Nation, which were artistically, displayed. Dancing started early, and after the finish of the dedication cere monies, the throng was augmented by several hundred people from the Elks Hall. " Features that were especially nleas- i ing w re the entrance of the band from Portland Lodge No. 142, and the toast to "Our Absent Brothers." The band marched In and" formed a circle in the center of the ball room floor, and led by Frank Hennessey, played two selections and were applauded vigorously. Promptly at 11 o'clock, the lights went out and the strains of juaug ujub lHJtl Li;u UUL, aim I John C. McCue, of Portland, made a brief address, touching upon the sol emn and tender significance of the" 11 o'clock toast. .' Special late cars and trains carried the Elks into Portland and Willam ette Valley cities from a day that will long be remembered by all of them who were fortunate enough to share the generous hospitality of Oregon City Lodge.
