SUNDAY CLOSINQ OP FAIR.
The ministerial association, of
Portland, has declared most emphat
ically against the Sunday opening of
the 190S Fair. Their idea of the pur
poses of Sunday corresponds with that
of our Pilgrim Fathers, but the Sab
bath of today is essentially a day of
rest, and is recognized, not so much
by reason of divine command, but
more from the mere fact that' man is
so constituted physically that he needs
to rest as often as one day out of
seven. Public necessity demands that
the same day be observed by all
people.
The manner of enjoying this day of
rest, however, is a matter of individ
' ual choice. It is far from recreation,
in the minds of many persons, to its
and listen to the cant and dogmas,
reiterated for the thousandth time,
of some shallow divine's favorite
creed. These ' persons might find rest
for body and mind in wandering
through the groves and picturesque
places of beautifully planned exposi
tion grounds. Then let them enjoy
this privilege.
If there are departments that can be
convoniontly olosed on Sunday, and if
their operation breaks into the quiet
of the day, there would brobably be a
general sentiment in favor of their
closing. '.
But while it is urged that employes
of the Fair should have a rest once a
week, there will be few whose tasks
will bo burdensome, and it must be
rememobred that the convenience of the
many demands from a few the sacri
fice of their day of rbst. ,
We believe the resolutions of the
ministerial association will not be
supported by publio opinion.
THE M'LOUGHLIN FAMILY.
At the ripe old age of eighty-two,
David McLouglin has passed away.
He hns lived to see the state of Oregon
grow from a wilderness, taversed by
winding Indian trails, into a great
commonwealth, dotted with beautiful
cities and ornamented by the handi
work of an ingenious people.
Quietly the lust survivor of the
family of John McLoughlin 1ms slip
pod out of sight. This sou, David,
was little known here, and many
wore not aware, when they , looked
upon the humblo monument in the
little churchyard corner, that murks
the resting place of John MoLoughiln,
tliut a member of his immediate
family still livod.
Tho founder of our city, his dusky
wife and children, live now in liistory
alono, but an imperishable monument
will hold in the momory of succeed
ing generations, tho family name.
This monument is tho title deed by
which we hold our home in tho city,
built on the Oregon City claim of
Jolm McLoughlin.
SHALL WE CELEBRATE.
An undertaking, the success of
which depends very much on the
oarly preprations, is the colohratiou
of the 4th of Julv. We would like
to take it as a matter of course that
Oregon City will celebrate. Every
town the size of Oregon City should
every your commemorate the signing
of the Declaration of independence,
if not at great expeuso at least mod
estly and will appropriate exercises.
Ours is a liberty loving, patriotio
pooplo, but as our independance be
comes older there will be a tendency
to forgot the "Spirit of 76." There
fore, on the days that are anniver
saries of events that form the corner
stones of our country's history, it is
proper that we gather together in a
spirit of rejoicing and patriotism.
There is also a business side to the
matter. We have a noighbor that is
tho bane of the Oregon City business
num. It ia by JMt MtoNtua a business
policy for us all to shut trp shop on the
Natioanl holiday, and go to Portland
to spend our money. . Let us stay at
home, make it pleasant for the
country folk to come to town for the
day, and have a pleasant time, which
does not necessarily require a great
expenditure.
Will the Board of Trade call a
meeting, appoint committees, . and
start the ball rolling?
