Americans Would
Be Wise to
Generalize In
Sports Rather Than
Specialize
By Sit. ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, English Author. 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.

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.

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

order's foundation, and its growth. He
welcomed any and all of the brothers
to visit them again at any time.
K. K. 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-

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,

brief address, touching upon the sol
emn and tender significance of the"
11 o'clock toast.

the Elks into Portland and Willam

long be remembered by all of them
who were fortunate enough to share
the generous hospitality of Oregon
