SIGNS OF SPRING An honest citi
ALL REMIND US zen of Clackamas
says, ha has seen the first blue bird.
Surely, if that is so, Spring has come,
with all her alluring gentleness. Other
reports have made it appear for some
time that the vernal season was at
hand, but the blue bird report clinches
the argument. For the past several
days snakes have been sunning them
selves by the roadside and frighten
ing the girls, children have been
afield seeking the shy but beautiful
"violet, birds have been twittering
busily and building nests, the pheas
ant has' been echoing its weird calls
through the woodland, and mere man
has been puttering about the garden
both because be knows it is time,
and because the energy also serves
to discover worms that can be used
for bait to coax the lucibus fish from
his watery depths. Baseball enthusi-

GENERATION ago woman marriocl. in the absence of ro
mantic love, because there was NOTHING ELSE TO
DO. And in cases where inarita! conditions were detrradinff
and intolerable she stayed married because there was noth
ing else to do.
THE GRADUAL INCREASE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IS EN
ABLING HER TO CHOOSE HER MATE WITH GREATER FREEDOM
AND INTELLIGENCE: IT IS ALSO ENABLING HER TO DIVORCE HIM
IN THE EVENT OF A MARRIAGE TURNING OUT DISTINCTLY UN
SUCCESSFUL. THERE IS NOW AN ALTERNATIVE. MAN CAN NO
LONGER STARVE HER INTO SUBMISSION.
The titue honored belief that it was woman'9 duty to bestow her
person in exchange for food, shelter and clothing is giving way to a
newer, higher ideal that makes recognition of the equal rights of the
sexes; THE FEMINIST IDEAL, one may call it, that is based
on a fine, healthy, continuous companionship and an equal sharing of
burdens within and without the home. And these new conditions, of
course, carry with them a new social attitude toward divorce.
It is further recognized that unsuccessful marriages CANNOT
BE MADE REAL AND FINE bv any imaginable pressure of the
.law or of public opinion. It is as easy to make a dead rosebush blos
som by a court order as to breathe life into a sex relationship that is
not a real marriage in the hearts of the persons concerned.
-It is only through a sober, patient study of things as they are,
A FEARLESS, UNFLINCHING ONSLAUGHT AGAINST THE
WRONGS OF TRADITION and a brave and open minded accept
ance of new conditions that will lead to the adjustment these changes 1
in the economic status of women have brought into our social rela
tionships. '

asm has awakened, the small boy
may be found after school practicing
eye-defying curves and other tricks
of the national game, and the grown
ups are beginning to find that busi
ness often calls to Portland on after
noons wheSi the big leaguers are
playing there. On arriving in the me
tropolis, they find that the parties
they went to see are at the game, and
so they, perforce follow though they
had no intention of so wasting half a
day when they started out: of course
not. Surely Spring is at hand, even
if the blue bird report had not. af
forded the last proof. Young things
of the gentler sex feel the ineffable
presence of the season of blossom
and glory, dresses are becoming
gayer, the diaphonous shirtwaist is
reappearing in business offices, bridge
parties are being neglected while
plans for picnics are being made, and
there is a general rush of inquiry to
the ticket offices for literature of the
beaches and the- mountains. The
older fold are thinking of house
cleaning and then of the restful after
noons when there will be no prepara
tions for the evening meal, which
shall be eaten cold from the sideboard
as the family sit upon the porch in
the evening and battle with mosquitos
and moths. Of a verity, Spring is
with us, and it is good to know that
the annual report of the first blue
bird has come to hand. But suppose
the blue bird were a jay?

MORE RAILROADS
RUMORED HEARBY
Railroad rumors are as thick in the
Williamstte and Clackamas valleys
as flies in summer time. The latest
excitement in this line is reported
from communities between Milwaukie
and Clackamas station, where it is
sad that agents representing two
rival lines are busy seeking rights-of
way privileges over farm land. One
outfit seems to be searching for a
route that will bend gradually east
ward from Milwaukie and so skirt the
northern side . of the Clackamas val
ley, running in the general and in
definite direction of Mount Hood;
while the other party of promoters
are making vague statements about
a line from Portland, through Milwau
kie, and thence almost due south to
Oregon City. Ranchers and farmers
have been interviewed by representa
tives of both roads, but are not tumbl
ing over themselves to grant rights-of-way,
as the agents do not seem to
be overburdened with convincing cre
dentials. There is also a revival of the old
report that the Southern Pacific may
soon change thg route of its main
line so as to avoid the curve to the
.eastward from Willsburg
through"!
East Milwaukie, Clackamas and Glad
stone, and will operate this line as an
electric feeder to the new main line
that will follow almost a direct tang
ent south from Sellwood. This re
port has been sprung so ofen, how
ever, that but little credence is now
placed in it.
MILWAUKIE RESORT
OUT OF BUSINESS
The doom of the Milwaukie Tavern,
otherwise known as "Bobbie Burns'
place," which was sounded when
Governor West and the militia threat
ened last fall to raze the place, was
completed Tuesday night, when the
Milwaukie council revoked its license.
Numerous complaints have been made
about the place for the past year, and
the council, tiring of the revels that
were formerly the rule at the resort,
decided to take drastic steps and
close it.
The tavern was reconstructed from
a former club house, and soon became
S.. taaherfl oelement
the mecca for "joy-riders" and the
element that follows in their trail,
During Governor West's spectacular
"clean-up" campaign the tavern was
made an objective point of the execu
tive's attacks, and eventually was the
"!?e-.0I.a?0.?f bUfff S.e'ge ?,-!he !

nan frtll I n rr tWo i-Tn n fnnrn i,,,. I
din,, :Z iZ
and after this the habitues of the.'
Place were considerably less strenu-,
ous in their reveals.
At the same meeting of the Milwau-
kie council, Felix R. Mitchell was !
elected chairmon of the body. j
COUNCIL MEETING OFF;
NO QUORUM IS PRESENT
A special meeting of the city coun
cil, set for Tuesday night, to consider
the application of certain liquor deal
ers for a permit to sell their stock at
wholesale, following the closing of
their saloons by order of the council j
iur viuiauuiis ui me orumauces, lanea
to materialize on the date arranged,
owing to the absence of a sufficient
number of members to maki! a quo
rum". The matter set for considera
tion will now go over to the special
meeting called for next Wednesday
evening.
Attorneys.who have looked into the
matter -of the application for a spe
cial permit in the case of the liquor
dealers say that they do not believe
such permission can legally be grant
ed, and that in all probability the
council will be forced to deny the ap
plications. - -
