2 OREGON CITY COURIER-HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1899. CLACKAMAS COUNTY NEWS I Carm. Take up the farmer's burdens There is one who dnu It well', A new champion for the farmer's righto ; HIi name Is Geo. Brownell. His tongue la glib, his rhetoric good. Integrity Is written on his face, In the courts he takes the poor man's part, His heart is in the right place. . He tells of the legislature work, Be did our wrongs to right, How arduous the task to get bills through, A oaiual observer might think light. This aervant of the people Will not east o'er you a spell, Be takes up the fanner's burden And be does It mighty well. Oo listen to him talk For he makes thinics quite olear, Many things yon never understood, . Which seemed to you ao queer. Yes, go and listen to George talk, he is a servant of the people and he has taken up a little spec of the fanner's burden, and Ood knows we need it. Take up the farmer's burden, catch the sad refrain as it conies from every farm community. It is tax paying time and after a year's ceaseless toil of all hands on the farm saving hi're, economizing there, enough has not been saved to pay the yearly taxes. Take up the farmer's burden, let this so worm and intertwine its way into the farmer's thought that whenever he writes or talks the farmer's burden will obtrusively force itself to the front. I say to all the writers of this paper, take up the farmer's burden in every article you write; let us make this paper so alive with interest in the farmer's burden that every farmer in the country will want to read it, la the suburbs of Cams even the ducks hare taken up the farmer's burden. A short while past an Oregon City doctor bad been attending a patient out back . of Carus and the patient died, as many Of them do, you know. After a little time the doctor went out to collect his bill for something he didn't do, and while q iletly driving along through the suburbs of Carus he was thinking of his ill-luck in losing so many patients; of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, especially when the patients were in his hands, and jiiHt as this thought passed through liU mind a flxik . of ducks that were disporting them selves in a frogpond alongside the road turned their attention to the doctor and all in chorus cried oufquuck," "quack," which made the doctor so mad you could hear him swear two blocks away. Take up the (armor's burden, says the duck as you feed him grains come to think of it you better not for you'll he cussed for your pains. Why take up the farmer's burden, he's a thankless self s iflloient creature, yon can see the type of his progenitor, according to Darwin, but Darwin was mistaken in the animal. It wasn't an ape from which the American farmer evolved, it was that long-eared animal whose name you spell with three letters a id in the processes of evolution, the ears havo shortened but the bray is there just the same. Get off the earth, you ornery horny-handed, hard-headed cuss you, go to Hades. No, come to think about It, you better go to the Philippines and take your place at the foot of the class with that bow-shooting, spear-throwing savage Uncle Sam has taken in hand to train, and by takings second course in evolution you may become bright enough t'i protect your rights and (ret your prices for the product of your lulior, The way th other fellow gets it I will tell you how that is In my next.
