From a Prominent German. Editor Couriku: Please allow some space for the following lines : To the Editor of the Enterprise, Ore gon City. Sir: In writing your article against the Germans last week you cer tainly did not know where the wind blew from, but we Germans infer that you are mad about that new German paper, the Clackamas Post. If the Germans of Clackamas county would like to organize a political club, do you imagine we need Portland Ger mans to help us? If we ever should feel like organizing we would not need anybody to help us, no, not even you! lour article was nothing but a mani festation of venomous hatred against the Germans. The officers of the order of Hermanns- 8oehne came to Oregon City fro 11 Port land, to start a branch lodge 111 this city, for the purpose of extending assistance to its members 111 case of sickness or accidents, and the rules of the order exclude politics entirely. Years ago, before we ever thought of you, there was a Gorman club here, with about 150 members. At that time I was the president; but I found out that un less political matters were excluded, we could not be very strong. We, however, excluded political matters, because we we considered ourselves above the odious manoeuvers of the politician. But you may rest assured, that if we had seen fit to organize a political body, we should not have brought pur political medicine Irom you, because it would have killed us. However, as long as your political influeno is not stronger than it is at present, there is no need for anybody or-tnizing. And, now, Mr. bMitor, as regards your peculiar views on ihe incompatibility of German organ izations with patriotism, let me tell you, they are antiquated. 1 have been in Oregon City these 1" years, and I know that although the German's do occasion, ally drink a glass of Weinhard's be?', they are as good patriots as you are aim better. You may rest assured, that if this country should ever be in danger, we Germans would stand and fall like men by the stars and stripes, while surh men as you would probably act the bravadoin vour ollice. Know, Mr. Editor, that the first and most sacred rule of a good citizen is, to keep the peace. You, however, make yourself obnoxious. J.K. Mkmhuhb Rally.
