importance was attached to the sug

struck first one and then the other.
"My dream is in building a city
clubhouse which shall be devoted
to the upbuilding of good citizen

shoud we not put up buildings
that can be used for recreation,
reading, bathing, indoor sports, ev
ening educational classes, just
as we put up court houses and
municipal buildings for the criminal
trials, and business affairs of the
community?" "But that would cost

would more than save its cost," was
the reply. Another man thought that
it could be managed by interested
citizens of means putting up bonds,

when the question resolved itself into
one of wavs and means, the meeting
disbanded.
NEW YEARS It is an encouraging
EVE sign of the times when
citizens get together to
do away with the carnival of licentious
vulgarity that of late years has mark
ed the birth of the new year. Just
why otherwise decent people should
think it no wrong to behave like the
lowest of the low, during the closing
hours of the old year, and the begin
ning of the new, is probably one of
woman, under the . influence of cham
pagne acting like the typical coquette,
and otherwise disgracing herself and
her family. But with many people
the occasion excuses the deed. But
does it? We think not.
From the lobster palaces of New
York, to the Poodle Dog of San Fran
cisco, people of evil minds are pre
empting tables so that they might the
better gorge their filthy eyes with the
saturnalia they confidently expect.
.Time indeed for a change.
How much better the sweet strains
of Adeste Fideles, Heilege Nacht,
Hark the Herald Angels, or some oth
er of the time honored hymns of our
forbears. And how much better for
the children, the keenest and most
intelligent of all our critics.

aud highways, is probably the most
important from .the viewpoint of the
farmer. The Clackamas County dele
gation to the state legislature will
have the great advantage of being
prepared with a program that is not
only original, but thoroughly work
able. The three measures determin
ed upon by the committee which met
at Senator Dimick's residence the oth
er night ought to receive the heart
iest endorsement of every man hav
ing the interests of the County at
heart.
But it is Representative Gill's clev
erly thought out plan that will appeal
to many. He would provide for road
construction in about the same man
ner that school districts are admin
istered, making each district a sort
of municipality, with power to issue
bonds, the districts to be governed
by the taxpayers themselves, the
Board selecting a treasurer and road
foreman.
In effect this is a harking back to
the old fashioned New England town
meeting idea, but what' matter, if it
is better than oux present methods!
CHRISTMAS The best way to
PRESENTS have a Merry
Christmas is to
begin now. It is a pity to get fuddled
up with the idea that Christmas is
just a time to spend money. Don t
spend any money unless you find it
necessary to spend it in order to
give somebody else as good time as
you are having. Then spend it gaily
and never think twice about it.
Christmas is not a time to pay debts
(of last year) but to enjoy youT
friends and be good to your enemies,
if you have any. If anybody dreads
the holidays he had better go some
where and get inocculated with the
c'vic spirit of Christmas. It will take
better if he brings it with him. It
will last longer if he has enough to
give to his neighbors. It is contagious
but nobody is afraid of it. If more
people get ready for Christmas by
keeping it next week, some folks will
keep it next week who sometimes
don't get a chance to keep it all.
