Oct. 9. . $1.50 .75 1919 That Promise to Obey The supreme legislative body o f the Episcopal Church, the General Convention, opened its sessions, this week, at Detroit, Michigan. Among the proposals to be submitted to it, is the elim ination o f the word obey in the marriage service. The writer as a clergyman o f the Episcopal Church, has defended its use and retention, on the ground that the service sets forth the Scriptural ideal o f marriage and, the rela tive duties o f husband and wife. Obedience on the part o f the lat ter, is the natural'response to the precedent vows pledged by the husband, and is only o f obliga tion when he fulfils first his promises to her. Besides this, the family is the norm from which the state has been devel oped, so that if there is no final authority in the family there is none in the state, except by ar bitrary enactment. The result o f such a lack in the state, breeds confusion and anarchy. It is to be feared that the demand for the elimination o f the vow of obedience, is due to the preva lent disposition to reject authori ty o f any kind, which is being manifested now in its logical out come by the Bolsheviki. W H O PAYS? The big railroad strike in Eng land. which threatened to tie up the business o f that country, is over, having been settled by compromise. It is estimated that it cost the government a quarter of a billion dollars and as much and more, the business interests. Now who will pay the bills? The general public for tin* most part and the public had no voice in the dispute. This shows that the strike method, what ever may be said for it per sc involves illegalities and injustice. This gives ground for legislation making it a crime. g All good Americans o f whatso ever political party, or whether they nr-* for or against the league ot nations, will be glad that the President is now on the road to recovery from his Serious illness. Thei»e is always some one tak ing the joy out o f life. A bill has been drawn up and spon sored by a man appropriately named Frost, to make illegal the manufacture, sale and use o f cigarettes. Such legislation has been made before and always resulted in a fizzle. There is something to be said for attack ing the use o f tobacco generally, but to forbid cigarettes and al low its use in other ways, is like straining at a gnat and swallow ing a camel. The attempt should be laughed out o f court. Went to Town the other day. Didn t see much that was encourag ing along the sugar route. Otherwise we were pleased with what we saw and heard. Did vou know that Flour is not soon to, but has * N advanced? and probably will advance another dollar on the barrel. D on ’t ask us why, we don’t know. Buy your flour now— right now. W e paid 65c per dozen for eggs last week. W e ’ ll pay 70c per dozen the remainder of this week, in trade for eggs. The New Road Districts • The eleven districts outlined by the county court , conform to the ■ plans made at the meeting last week. These do not include the incorpor ate towns within the limits of the districts as they separate districts under the state law. The districts in a general way include the following: District No. 1— Combines districts 1, 38, and 47, all nortli of the Clack amas and east of the Willamette, with a valuation of $3,646,000. This is the largest in the county, but as nearly all the main roads are paved the district will not have roads coming under the bonding issue. District No. 2 — All of the territory in the county west of the Willamette river, the valuation being $2,860,- 000 . District No. 3— Includes the en tire north boundary of the county east of the Willamette except terri tory in district 1, and takes in about half of the territory north of the Clackamas, with a valuation of $2,- 650,000. District No. 4— All territory lying south of district 3 to the Clackamas river, valued at $1,000,000. District No. 5— Territory south of the Clackamas river, including that tributary to the Logan and Spring- water road. Valued at $1,4 00,000. District No. 6— Territory tributary to the Rodland road from the pave ment between Oregon City and Park- place to a point near Viola, with a valuation of $800,000.

As will be seen from its ad vertisement, the agent o f the Henry VVeinhard Co. will be in town all day Monday, at R. G. Merehbank’s, for the purpose o f buying cull apples in large or small lots. This will be a good opportunity for those who have apples to sell, which are not good enough to pack in boxet for export. This firm has most entreprtsingly met the changes effected by prohibition and has turned its attention to making all kinds o f soft drinks instead of beer. The agent informed us it was doing about as much business as ever and when its equipment is fully installed, ex pects to do a good deal more.
