The following signed article is handed us in reply to an article headed "Is This True Socialism?" which appeared in these columns two weeks ago. In justice to the socialist party wc would say that the writer was misinformed or willfully misrepre sented facts. Wc do not deny having enjoyed an outing at Oak Park on that particular Sunday with a keg of beer, (not "a couple" ns the writer stated). Socialists are not hypocrites. If one wants to take a drink of beer, believing that is what beer is made for, (they do not all think that way) he will take it in any place tio matter who sees him or knows about it. He will not go in the cellar or back room as do jK-ople who don't believe in taking a drink if someone is watching. Ptirthermore, the writer of that article should understand that has nothing to do with the socialist party. There were no socialist speakers as stated, and, conse quently, no nonsense siokcu. The socialist party would not for n minute tolerate drinking at a business meeting. There were two sjKicches heard from n graphaphoue but we can't understand how they "got more senseless as the beer got less in the keg." The writer should get better informed before before writing an article of that kind. It was simply n party mostly conix)sed of socialists invited by a socialist to have a beer at his ex- teiisc. As a matter of good taste no prohibitionists were invited and as the party was composed principally of socialists they discussed the out look of socialism among themselves the same as a party of preachers or any other craftsmen would about their particular craft. Wc do not wish to advertise our selves nor do we do anything in the dark, and for that reason wc will sign our names. Hits Schmidt, J. C. 1 1 HUH INC, TON, J. A. Niti-soN, Committee.

Office: Kino's Building, Jersey St., St. Johns J mine Hanks' Rcmlilscciises. "Shaking of water," said Judge James Washington Hanks, "I'll never forget one time, away back in Missouri, when I was first mar ried. Wife had put some clothes to soak in a pail of suds and she put the pail on a shelf right alongside of the pail of drinking water. Von sec we'd just moved Into our new house and hadn't gotten fairly settled. "Well, along towards the middle of the night I woke up with an awful thirst on me. I hated to get up for a drink but finally I had to. I grablH.fl a diper and partly filled it and lx-'fore I could reali.e what I was drinking I'd swallowed at least a cupful of that icsky soapsudsy stuiTI Say, wasn't I sick? Well, I should say. "I wanted to get that taste out of my mouth and I hapcucd to think that In my coat xckct were n few bites of candy. So I took those and commenced on 'em, and by the time I'd swallowed some of them I discovered that there had liven a lot of those old sulphur matches in the same Kckct and the whole mix had U-eu well soaked by a rain I'd just Ircii out in. "What did I do then? Well. I'll tell you. I seut the next half hour in chewing up some crusts of bread and spitting out the stuff after I'd chewed it. Hut that was an awful taste, I tell you." No one ever really knows a woman. Some think they do but, pshaw I they don't. The Iggorotes are said to be in love with Oregon hogs. Street car or just plain sidewalk ? Undertakers all over the country are increasing their stocks of coffins. The football season is opening. Compliments are now being ex changed by members of the city council. It seems to be the open season for bricks. A St. Johns car yesterday ran over a small pumpkin dropjed from a vegetable wagon and when the fellow picked up the thing 'twas "squash." IJvcr since that 225-pound fat woman sat down in our lap on the car into Portland we have been a firm believer in the theory that the charge for street car service should le by weight. "A sucker is born every minute." To judge from the number of schemes so frequently before the public one would supiose the pro motors imagined there must be a multiplicity of triplets. Just as soon as Komttra learned that he was not to be beheaded as soon as he reached China he com menced to recover from his serious illness. We've seen small boys afllicted the same way. Portland merchants are shouting "Make Portland Day a howling successl" It'll Ik "howling," all right, all right; whether or not it will be a success defends on how many times coptc desire to go to the fair. After dancing through the air for several miles last Friday the airship commenced to settle on account of loss of gas so it flew to the Port laud ncwspaicr offices and filled up. After that the machine lehaved beautifully. A fellow in Portland gave his sweetheart $300 In cash and then she jilted him. Then he tried to kill himself (he didn't try very hard) and twoplc wonder whether it was the loss of the girl or the cash which made him sorrow. 4 THE k j Portland ana siiom li Cvnrnoo Pfimnanu LAJJIOOO UUIIIfJUIIJ l i j; t0 eO sS eO s'-O si3 (Oicrating cars over Portland Con- solidated lines) OUR FAITH Rates Reasonable Service Prompt We have made arrangements to transfer all frieght in the city and at St. Johns when necessary by team at reasonable rates.
