PORTLA.VD, Jan.S. (To the Edffor.)
I doubt if it is possible to enlighten
some sanctimonious minds that within
a period of 100 years people have
progressed mentally, morally and re
liglously. While some of us have
minds that dictate a more free con
ception of religious duty for one day
of the week, others are bound to a rule
that has in this generation been dis
carded wherein strict observance is
concerned.
It is possible to find Just as many
and Just as good plodders today who
take a little relaxation on Sunday as
in the days of "thee" and thou." The
day of passing the hours with head up
lifted and hands folded, with a sad.
faraway look, bas vanished, and in its
stead has entered one of optimism, good
cheer and a goodly amount of honest
respect for the "seventh day."
Recreation is the savior of tired
minds and bodies, and it is just and
right that no man be denied it. He
can seek recreation in a theater or the
ball game and not loose his soul
either; or. If need be. when the larder
is empty, "scoot" to the nearest grocer
and replenish of the viands that adorn
his shelf and not feel any remorse for
his terrible offense.
We must not forget the slave of that
soothing weed, tobacco. Perchance he
has forgotten to lay in a supply of his
favorite cigar for Sunday. Should we
allow etim to suffer through a whole
day and be so irritable that even his
mother-in-law would be compelled to
scuttle to the attic in fear ot losing a
happy home?
In Oregon will be found many men
who have chosen vocations which de
mand that they give a big portion of
their time to the Interests of their
businesa on Sundhy. Is it necessary
that we class them among the "lost"
sheep?
Each and everyone helps to swell
the army of men who pay large taxes
and are first to give generously for any
cause that will help their city and Ore
gon. .
Oregon is a great stain and enjoys
that distinctiem from the Pacific to the
Atlantic; then'why destroy it and in its
place herald to the world that we are
now treading; a path that has neither
rock, pit nor turn and have taken up
the cause of the sanctimonious "thee"
and "thou" for evermore.

I certainly want to congratulate
Oregon upon its showing at the exposi

put up by the State of Oregon and as
maintained during the life of the fair
was the best slate building on the
grounds and more typical ot Oregon and
its products that any oth.er state build

building where one was made welcome

have stood there stationary tor ages,

Mr. Dleck's bright idea of a year ago
that ho would compel them to repair
the street apparently came to naugnt,
but why should traffic be continually
Inconvenienced by turning out by al
lowing stationary wagons on busy
streets? Surely the small income is
no compensation.
Portland has outgrown the conditions.
A new ordinance, I believe, was enacted
recently making it compulsory for
wagons to move every half bour, which,
I dare say. means putting in five min
