“ To run or not to run, that is
the question.”
This seems to
be the problem which* is worry
ing Mr. McAdoo more than any
o f the multifarious jobs, which
were thrust on him during the
war. First he will and then he
won’ t, then he reconsiders and
intimates he may, again he per
emptorily refuses but his friends
declare he will as a patriotic duty
etc, etc. He is like Julius Caes
ar who thrice refused the crown,
but would have accepted it if it
had been offered him again, only
unfortunately for him, he was
assassinated.

The Chatauqua has come and
gone and a fair estimate of it
can now be drawn.
One thing
is certain, that it was the best by
far, o f the three held in Estaca*
da. As far as the lectures and
other features were concerned,
they Were equal to those o f much
bigger Chatauquas.
The ques
tion however is, “ was it worth
while while to bring it here,
where interest in it is difficult to
arouse?”
The answer to this
depends on the point o f view.
From a financial standpoint, it
paid neither the Chatauqua nor
those who backed it. It is prob
able that the former made but
little over their actual expenses,
while the latter will be out pf
pocket to a slight extent.
But
viewed educationally its benefit
to those who attended and thru
them to the community, was in
estimable. Those who heard the
lectures were inspired to loftier
aims by being the recipients o f a
wider vision of life, its meaning,
ends, duties and responsibilities.
Even the children caught a
glimpse o f what really consti
tutes life. In addition an aes
thetic* stimulus was afforded by
high class music.
The trouble
with small communities is that
they are in danger o f dry rot,
and the Chatauqua acts as one o f
the most efficient correctives for
this condition. O f late years the
Chatauquas have been reaching
out to the small communities,
and in so doing are increasing
immeasurably their usefulness.
They act as the incoming o f a
healthy, invigorating breeze into
a stagnant atmosphere. But to
get the full benefit the effect
must be cumulative, so we hope
that there are enough progres
sive citizens in this vicinitr, to
insure its return another year.
The Queen o f the (lowers will
come into her own today in the
City o f Hoses. God could have
made a more beautiful flower
than the rose, but doubtless He
never did.
What with the Shriners’ con
vention and the Rose Festival,
it is the week o f high jinks at
the state metropolis.
Were we
twenty years younger we would
be anxious to take it all in, but
now we prefer to keep quiet and
cool in the shade, and let others
enjoy the tumult and the shout
ing. We can no longer stand
those “ mornings after.”
Not Known In Estacada
The Oregon City Enterprise
last Sunnday, had a story o f the
raiding o f a still operated by R.
E. Thompson and his brother-in-
law Butterly, on the ranch o f the
former near Estacada, so it al
leged. Upon inquiry nobody, not
even the real estate men or the
oldest inhabitant knows o f any
such persons. Will our esteemed
cotemporary be more explicit and
state exactly in miles how far or
how near to Estacada was the
actual distance? From the ac
count it might be thought that
the still was found close to this
city, which is a reflection on our
law-abiding p e o pi e. Estacada
dispenses sunshine n o t moon
shine.
Later we have ascertained that
the place is at least ten miles
east o f Estacada as the crow
flies.
