GOVERNMENT RED TAPE has been responsible for the delay in the transfer of the title in the Oregon City locks from the Portland Railway, Light & Power company to the United States. The ab stract has been presented to the district attorney with instructions to act after it has been placed in the hands of the government for many months. The federal government is the slowest moving thing on earth. It does things about as readily as a snail and it takes the official head of the depart ments about that long to make up the government mind that something ought to be done. It is a far cry from the proper administration of the government of these United States, whether the party in power happens to be Democratic or Re publican, when matters of importance hang fire from month to month and no action can be forced through department channels. Important and far reach ing legislation in which the very life of the nation's future policy hangs and upon which may hinge vital issues are delayed through the congressional chambers while the committees and leaders of the national houses loll about and make little effort to get things into definite and concrete form. There are some few men in the congressional houses who do actual work. Upon them devolves the duty of directing the affairs of the legislative halls. Their minds are busy with great things but the results of their work are hampered and delay by a dozen reels of red tape that have to be unwound be fore anything positive is done. Proper deliberation upon matters of importance is necessary and right. Undue delay in getting results is mere foolishness. It is a brand of foolish ness that is both wasteful and expensive. It costs the country more in the end and the nation gains nothing by it. The transfer of this title is an example of some of this foolishness. With proper attention, that abstract could have been examined and approved months vgo. There is no good reason why it was not even though the district attor ney's office in Portland was busy with other matters. - If the force of the office of the federal district attorney in this state is not large enough to promptly handle the business, that force should be enlarged. There is no rea son for the continued delay in this matter. The district attorney should have the opportunity to accomplish the work of his office with the least possible de lay and all matters that are brought to his attention should be handled with dispatch. It is probably that the office of the district attorney is not to blame foi this delay. The notorious habit of the Washington departments to hold mat ters up had more to do with the neglect that this proposition has received than any other single reason. Prompt service and an elimination of red tape in government matters would go a long way toward bettering conditions throughout the country in every branch of the work. Most Intelligent Girls Make the Best Wives By Mrs. MAY WILSON PRESTON, Painter and Illustrator THERE is no doubt that a new type of girl has come into being. In her development EDUCATION HAS DONE A GREAT DEAL, and it is a fact that the more a woman really knows the more she is apt to try to do something. Of course a great many more girls go to college now than formerly. Then, the spread of the woman's suffrage idea has had a great influence. In my opinion, the real girl of today is one who wants to do some thing to be a SELF SUPPORTING WOMAN. She always does some thing too. It. may take one form with one and another with another. IT SEEMS TO ME THE MORE INTELLIGENT A GIRL IS THE BETTER WIFE SHE WILL MAKE. As "it costs nothing" why not open an account here?.. Grow with a growing, progressive bank; start an account today. The Bank of Oregon City i LBT BAttK IrH CLACKAMAS COUNTY FORUM OF THE PEOPLE DR. SCHULTZE ULTIMATUM OREGON CITY, Ore., Dec. 2. (Ed itor of The Enterprise) The Clack amas county Medical society decline to reopen discussion of a closed inci dent. They still consider that the charges against their esteemed brother, Dr. J. W. Norris. were unfair, unjust and un true, trumped up for effect during a heated political campaign. As pres ident of that association the writer was delegated to place the matter be fore the public from their point of view. He had not read a single word of the newspaper squabble nor at tended any of the proceedings which resulted in the resignation of Dr. Nor ris. The latter is authority for every statement the writer made, certainly a much more reliable source than the spell-binder methods of a partisan pa per or a soapbox orator. However, all this is ancient history, of which the public are a-weary, and the writer emphatically refuses "to chew the rag" at the behest of a small caliber preacher. He accepts the "challenge" for a 'meeting," and as the "challenged" party has the right to name "the time and place and weapons" hereby agrees to "meet" him in company with Dr. Norris at the latter's office at any time he may specify. The "weapons" will be a "tongue lashing" and the dominie may prepare as before said to learn "some wholesome if unpalat able truths." Before "retreating precipitately" and finally from threatened "wordy war" the writer recommends the reverend to keep his long-winded wordiness to inflict upon his suffering parishioners. He furthermore kindly suggests that the functions of a po litical stump speaker and a preacher of the gospel are diametrically op posed. Their conjunction in one in dividual is liable to bring to mind the idea of the "man who stole the livery of the court of Heaven to serve the devil in ". Personally, the writer does not pose as a "shepherd of the sheep" or an "example to the flock" but for such a man he recommends Mr. Spiess' pray erful study of the following specifica tions as laid down by the Apostle Paul to Timothy and. Titus: "The servant of the Lord must not strive, but be gentle unto to all men apt to teach patient." "Moreover he must have "a good report of them that are without, less he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil;" "must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed; not soon angry;" "not double-tongued;" "avoiding foolish questions and con tentions and striving about the law;" "in all things showing himself a pat tern of good works." DR. W. C. SCHULTZE. QUOTATIONS CHANG E IN LOCAL MARKETS Several changes were noted in the local market quotations yesterday and prices varied from those of the day before.

Watch the Stock Market Not the kind you read about in the Wall Street news, but the more substantial merchandise stocks described in the advertis ing columns. December is the great merchan dising month of the year. More goods are distributed at retail in December than in any three average months combined. Often the sales of a single day in December will equal two weeks' business in July. Right now stocks are full and advertising is at its flood. Never were appeals most inter esting or more numerous. Never did merchandise have so many clever tales to tell. Advertising is mighty good read ing every day of the year but in December it is just about the liv est and cleverest news in the newspaper.

In The Social Whirl Current Happenings of Interest in and About Oregon City Heart to Heart Talks , (By Meta Finley Thayer) IR. and Mrs. R. H. Tabor gave a A II J dinner at their attractive home at Glen Echo for Rev. and Mrs. T. B. Ford, Mr. .and Mrs. L. P. Horton and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Swafford. The rooms were bright with yellow chry santhemums and the table was cen tered with California poppies. Mrs. Taber was assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Edna Miller. The Women's Relief corps will meet with Mrs. Frank Donovan, corner of Ninth and John Adams streets Thurs day afternoon. Each member is re quested to bring her needlework. The Gladstone Ladies' Aid of the Christian church will hold a bazaar Friday afternoon and evening in the basement of the church. A variety of articles will be offered for sale, and a cafeteria dinner will be served. Among the -signs of a hard winter Is the price of coal. The empty heart Is sometimes the heaviest New Orleans Picayune. Graft Is something that every man thinks his neighbor ought not to have. Yellow hair Is seldom a running mate with genius, according to a wise guy from England. News that the crow is the farmer's friend excites only a languid interest in political circles. If there is anything the nation needs more than a uniform divorce law it is sensible marriages. With deep regret the passing of the last of the famous Light Brigade is once more announced. Getting up early in the morning to wrestle with the furnace is good to strengthen a man's character perhaps. It is said that Emperor William has 3,000 uniforms. Possibly there are sojae men who envy him on that ac count v DO YOU WALK LIKE A CHIMPANZEE? Next time you visit the city zoo or a circus notice the chimpanzee. Watch him when he walks. The chimpanzee is the most intelli gent, most manlike of the apes. He is our nearest cousin in the animal world. When he walks he stands erect, or nearly so. But he walks with his -hands to the ground not with the palms of his hands or the fingers touching the earth, as a man would walk if he were to go on all fours, but with the backs of the hands touching the ground.. An awkward mode of progression! Yet some human folks go through life with their hands theoretically touching the ground. They do not rise erect to front with undaunted brow the facts of life. Tbey shamble along as does the chimpanzee. When your walk in life leads you en tirely through the morass of selfish In terests You walk like the chimpanzee. ' When you cannot turn aside in your business of money getting to consider other interests You have the backs of your bands to the ground. When you forget that there are oth ers on earth besides yourself with claims on your thoughts and your sym pathies You are bent over like the ape. If th chimpanzee ages ago could have raised himself erect, could have taken his hands from the ground--above all, if he could have developed his thumb Into the marvelous instru ment of precision and strength which the human thumb is He would no longer be a chimpan zee, an ape. He would be a man. While you imitate the chimpanzee and bend over, absorbed in the things of earth, with no power to raise your arms and walk mentally and spiritually erect You are in danger of degenerating into a . mental chimpanzee. Raise yourself ! Get up! Extend youl mental horizon! The chimpanzee looks like a man. He can be taught tricks which resem ble, in a funny way, some of the things that men do. But so long au he sticks to his habit of bending over to the earth he will remain a chimpanzee. His brain can not develop while his back is bowed. If you are not as far removed from the mental state of the chimpanzee as you should be. learn to think, to raise yourself from the earth. So long as the world exists the man shall rule and the chimpanzee shall be subject to his power. Wonderful. Mrs. Walesa-Why do you think the Bayleys are on the road to riches?

Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" because no one can pos sibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does so naturally and evenly, says a well-known down town druggist. You dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This re quires but a few momenta, by morning the gray hair disappears and after another application or two is restored to its natural color and looks even more beauti ful and glossy than ever. (Adv.)

BIGGER Proved His Claim. While a building was in process of construction two of the tilers became engaged in a violent quarrel. So vio lent was it that tbe police were called in and the offenders taken before a magistrate. Both of the men were, so ber and industrious and good work men. This, according to the testimony of the foreman in charge of their work, who had followed Id hopes of being able to intercede for them. The magistrate asked in astonish ment the cause of the quarrel. It seems that one man had accused the other of stealing bis coat. "And I can prove it, fob." added the man. "How?" asked the magistrate. 'I always keep my card in the pock et" said the man. The policeman were directed to search the garment. But they found absolutely nothing. "Gimme my coat" said the Workman. It was handed to him. He took two dried- peas out of tbe pockets and held them up trium phantly. "P. P. Peter Powell. That's me name. Them's my card." He got his coat New York Globe. Inner Significance. I like to Bins of blossoms, and I like to sing of bees, As a rough and ready singer ought to do; I like to sing of little birds that warble in the trees And of flow'rets yellow, white or blue. But the thought that most delights me very seldom I express When I lift my more or less exultant tune. It's subtle, soft Impression stealing through my consciousness That we're going to have a circus pretty soon. Oh, the sunshine on the river and the cloudlet in the sky And the blooming that is scattered from the trees Are things of beauty in themselves as they go drifting by. Yet things of deep significance for me! Each joy is but a promise of the greater bliss to come. I see a ring of sawdust in the moon. And the breeze brings faroft echoes of the brass band and the drum, 'Cause there's going to be a circus pret ty soon. Washington Star.
