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

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.

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.
District No. 7— The Highland road
from Oregon City eastward to be
yond Clarkes, valuation $1,231,000.

tricts of Carus, Central Point, Mc

Molalla, Dickey Prairie, Colton and
Wilhoit, and connects \vith the Pa
cific highway at the O'Neil turn south
of New Fra. valued at $3,500,000,

the Pacific highway at Canby, runs
so«th to Marquam and Scotts Mills,
valued at $1,310,000.
District No. 11 Connecting with
the Pacillc highway at Barlow, runs
south to Monitor with a valuation of
$1,310,000.
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.
