SUPPRESSED, KH.
A prominent Oregon City lawyer and
politician wants the Courikb-Herald
buppressed for its free speech. This
gentleman hss a right, of course, to ex
press his sentiments and those of his
colleagues who are opposed to anything
but political ring rule. They say we
speak too plain and that it will injure us
and seem to be very solicitous about our
well are. The present Oregon City re
publican lawyer ring has about run its
course, and the farmers and taxpayers
from the country who vote'r straight
are about to take up arms against it.
It only remains for the latter to organ
ize and stick together and they can
have things their own way for awhile.
The time has come when the farmer and
laborer of Clackamas county should not
be pulled around by the nose and used
as a sad He for the politician to ride into
office, and we are glad to know that
they think this paper-should be sup
pressed and that they have good reasons
to have it put out of the way if possible.
They will li iv ) s'.ill bitter rami be
fore another year and we are proud o'
the fact, too. This paper is not owned
by any one except the writer and we are
not afraid lo say what we think, even
if it costs us a few republican readers.
AVe believe in the principles we advo
cate, are not running for office, intend to
remain here and are not for sale as
some former newspaper men have been,
anil it will take more than a few ring pol
iticians to sujiprett us .
Truhts depend upon law for their ex
istence and must fall of their own
weight when the law ceases to uphold
them. Therefore the trustB have a vital
interest in politics. Every one of them
will support the republican candidate
in the presidential election next year.
A little Shelby (Neb.) girl at her
prayers the other night, after the usual
appeal for her loved ones, added : "And
please Lord take care of yourself, too,
for if anything should happen to you,
we wouldn't have anybody but McKin-
ey to depend on, and he isn't doing as
well as papa expected." Ex. .
Wk desire to suggest to the the Presi
dent that watching the mails to prevent
"seditious literature" being sent to our
soldiers in the Philippines is not half as
shrewd a political move as it would be
to watch the mails from the Philippines
that are bringing into this country ac
counts of the process of benevolent as
similation practiced by Otis.
The fellow who opposes direct legisla
tion, gays the people are not capable of
governing themselves; and ii doing
this acknowledges either that he is in
competent himself, or that he doesn't
consider himself one of the people who
think we ought to have a war occasion
ally just to kill off some of the people,
for fear the world will get over-populated.
He always thinks its the other fellow
that ought to be killed.
A iriMiMKTj.olu'stnndard dtmocrat
stopped the Courier-Herald last week
because we were too outspoken. This
man is one of the "immortal 30" that
voted for Palmer and Buckner and
thinks he Is a financier because he
bandies considerable money during the
year for others. He has been in several
newspaper controversies and generally
gets the worst of it although he don't
know it.
Labor unions in their convention at
Salt Lake last week passed a resolution
making It incumbent upon all lodges to
inquire into the political records of all
candidates upon all tickets. Those
found to be inimicable to labor are to be
turned down. The trouble with the la
bor unions Is this : They are a pack of
jawsmitha and given to passing resolu
tions. Labor is decidedly in the majori
ty at the polls. If it had sense enough to
get together and do little more voting
and a little leas resoluting it might ac
complish something.
Wk still maintain that the govern
ment did not do right where it sacrificed
our volunteer army for the sake of a few
niggers in the Philippines. The lives of
our boys are too precious to be used to
further the ends of an administration.
The boys enlisted for the 8panish war
and not for any other and at soon as
that war waa over they should have
been discharged and regulars sent in
their place. That ii what the regular
army it lor. Another thing, the volun
teers should not have been pushed to
tha front to bear the brunt of battle and
be killed when the regulars were kept in
the back ground.
Somi of our readers seem to think
that Sana Brownell, who had an article
in last week'a Courikr-Herald, it in
some way connected with our Honerable
Geo. O., because, at they claim, he has
been known to expound populist doc
trine when there were votet to be gotten
and our Honorable Geo. O. ia jutt now
figuring on "something" next spring
and la loosing no time in patting our re
formers on the back and saying, "good
boy, them't my principles," and "I am
wid ye," but mind you, he don't tell bit
Oregon City ring friends the same story.
No, Sans Brownell It a prominent popu
list writer and resides in a neighboring
county and ia not a wolf in sheep't
clothing.
Legislated Value
Editor Courier-Herald :
The wheels of political fortune have
taken another turn and the republican
party is out on top this time, so there
can be no excuse now, and if all there is
between the people and prosperity is re
publican success, every obstacle is now
removed. But there are ptople who
still declare that there is a degree of
prosperity within sight but not obtained
for the reason of unfavorable legislation.
but just what legislation is needed is the
all important question. To get the dis-
tatisfled people to agree upon some one
point is the hard thing to do.
The Oregonian, in reply to the Spo-
kane Review, makes a statement that
contains somewhat hidden within it a
very essential point that is well worth
careful consideration by the people. We
quote a statement therein made:
"What it has said is this, that it is the
weight of gold that is the staple value,
or the most staple that can be found;
and in order to make a good, sound and
staple dollar, we have decreed that the
dollar shall contain or be based on a cer
tain number of grains of gold. We have
fixed that weight at 23.22 grains not
arbitrarily, for it is the result of mone
tary legislation throughout a very long
historic period."
This statement contains more than
would appear at the first glance. Gold
is the most staple value to be found,
"and in order to make a good, sound
and staple dollar, we have decreed."
And here is the all important point:
Which is staple, the gold or the decree?
It is admitted in the last sentence that
the fixture is in' the "monetary legisla
tion," and how any other conclusion
can be arrived at than that all there is
the matter with silver is the fact that
"we have decreed" that "we" don't
want it any longer. Should we "decree"
that we do not want gold any longer,
can any one give a reason why it would
not tumble to the fluctuating value of a
commodity and become as "dishonest"
as silver? And again, should "we de
cree" that 371.25 grains of silver should
always be equivalent in all business
transactions to 23.22 grains of gold, why
would it be dishonest, or who would be
vested with authority to say no to it?
What is wanted among the people ia a
more lucid' understanding of the fact
that the fixture of the value is in the
decree, as stated by the Oregonian ; but
what we are to look for now is to see
who this "we" is, as from a statement
made by the , Oregonian that "ill
informed, demagogic congressmen"
were not the safe ones to be considered
as the "we" to fix these matters, some
body else must be called upon to do it.
Further on, they tay "Congress, in
ded, could make the dollar consist of
371.25 grains of silver, with tree coinage ;
but that would be a dollar of less value,
a dollar of less than one half the value
of the present dollar; a dollar not only
of low value, cheating everybody, but a
dollar of fluctuating value, changing
with the silver market."
It is very certain from the foregoing
statement that congress is not the "we"
who can fix the value. Notwithstanding
the fact that silver, prior to the time of
unfavorable legislation, stood equal with
gold and notwithstanding the statement
made by them, "we have fixed that
weight at 23.22 grains not arbitrarily,
for it is the result of monetary legisla
tion," yet the power of congress to fix to
silver anything else than a fluctuating,
commodity value is persistently denied,
to the "we" spoken of must rest entirely
somewhere else.
We have been going on voting for con
gressmen, supposing that they could ex
press something of our wishes in regard
to what the money of our country must
be like, but we can only understand
from the last statement that so far as
their being able to "establish the value
thereof" is concerned they are entirely
impotent and that there is a greater
power behind them that can render any
thing they may do of no avail if it
should happen to displease its royal
highness.
That this "we" whose "decree" is
greater than the power of congress is
much pleased with the success of the
republican party ia to be taken for
granted, and by the time the "we" and
the republican party have given us two
years more of legislation, I doubt very
much whether either the people or con
gress will have much power or author-
ity left to thm.
I think it would be a very good pieca
of work for the people while they art
resting and allowing this "we" and tha
republican party to get in their fine
work, to investigate and interview this
all important "we," this great some
body, somewhere, a something that can
hold gold to steady that congress cannot
put anything along tide of it that could
dare presume to compete with it.
By the people becoming better ac
quainted with this all consequential
"we" they can act in the future with
greater wisdom and advantage to them
selves. Thomas Buckman.

Coming Home.
Sound the bugle's brazen message
From the distant tropic shore
To the home beyond the ocean,
"We are coming home once more 1"
Safely through the din of battle
They have borne our country's fame,
And soon, with heaven's blessing,
Our boys will be home again.
Once again, O joy and sorrow,
Wings the heart of gentle love,
Comes the message to the waiting,
Like the sunlight from above.
Raise Old Glory to the breezes
Toward the distant azure dome
As a token of our gladness,
For the boys are coming home !
Go repeat with gentle accent
To the loved ones, the slain,
On yon foreign field of glory,
For they'll ne'er come home again.
Proudly once we bore our sorrow
Strangled all our wildest fears,
As we watched our gallant army
Through the bl ur of misty tears.
How we read each hurried letter,
How we dream it o'er and o'er.
Now we have the joyful message
"We are coming home once more."
What a gladness I what rejoicing !
Yet our hearts are filled with pain
For the ones who still are waiting,
For the ones whose loved are slain.
When the day shall bring them safely
To our own dear native shore
There are some who left it gaily
Will return to it no more.
When we hear the bugle sounding,
Hear the tramping of our feet,
With what a joyful, hearty cheering
Will our sunburnt soldiers meet.
O'er the hills of dear old Oregon,
from its valleys and its plain,
Echoes fly like geared lightning t
vve win soon De nome again."
Once again, our hearts united
With a bond of holy love,
Let us ask one single b'essing
From the Father's hands abovev.
Let the free flag float forever,
Forever through the future years,
And with Thy boundless kindness,
God bless our volunteers.

TitERuskin Colony passed into the
hands of a receiver April 20th. It has
been tangled up in innumerable law
suits and mortganes and internal dissen
sions for a long time. Many members
have been expelled from the premises
and deprived of their contribution to the
capital stock, and all matters pertaining
tothtse affairs have been suppressed
from the public. Of the original mem
bers onlv a few of forty remain. It is
proposed, and will probably be carried
out by a few, to re-organize as a frater
nal society, but the old organization will
have to be wound up, its effects sold
and distributed to its stock-holders, a
large part of whom are not on the
ground. Appeal to Reason.
There is nothing surprising in the
above. A few people joining together for
the purpose of bettering their condition
and leaving the balance of man and
womankind to gdt along as best they
can. It's a very selfish motive. Whether
Christianity is good, bad or indifferent is
not a question at this time or has to do
with this particular subject, but we wish
to remark if the early converts to that
religion bad hung around Jerusalem
and argued theological points the gospel
would not have been preached very ex
tensively. It waa the Pauls, Patricks,
Augustines, Joliets, Livingstons, etc.,
that carried the tidings to the four cor
ners of the earth. So with colonies of
the Ruskin type. They are narrow,
lifeless, monotonous, and the inmates,
no matter how enthusiastic they may
be, or how sincere in their desire to re
form and benefit their klud, the attempt
genera ly fails when confined to commu
nities. The Ruskin plan was a very
good one, but being good why confine it.
' Go preach my gospel to all the world,"
says the founder of Christianity. "Hide
not your light uuder a busiiel. Bdhold
I bring you tidings of great joy." If the
system under which the Ruskin people
lived was even in a small measure per
fect each inmate should have baen a
missionary to propogate the ideas, con
vert the sceptical and finally establish
the great truth of socialism on the toter
ing atiucture of miss-representative
government. No colony can succeed,
no matter bow earnestly they strive,
while all the abuses of private owner
ship and privileged .monopoly surround
them. They must use monopoly money
issued from monopoly banks, oil from
monopoly wells and refineries, sugar
ditto, farm implements, patents of
whatever kind, in fact all that enter in
to existence in social being in this age it
virtually monopolized, therefore it is the
bounden duty of every man ami woman
knowing these essential facta to work
outside of colonies for the puipose of
giving to the whole people those benefits
and privileges which it ia their aim and
desire to enjoy exclusively. No portion
of the body politic can remain above,
Iwyond or better than the great muss; if
the amalller portion cannot pull the
lower up, those below will surely drag
the higher to the lower lavel. This is
history; its more, its common sense.
It ia mathmetically correct, therefore
take beet), and when yon seek your own
political or social elevation, you can
only attain it by assisting your neighbor
to climb.

Xiew Disease.
Mr. Editor, you want to be careful
what you say about how the Filipinos
are being treated. Don't you see how
you are causing certain individuals to
swell up with patriotism? It is danger
ous to the human anatomy to fill up
with that kind of gas. It is a new
kindof disease and doctors don't know
just how to deal with it. I have known
persons about Oregon City to get very
full, even gloriously full, but not on the
above mentioned stuff. It was some
thing that was not manufactured by
the present administration.
It does seem very funny to see a man
swell up, pant, roll his eyes in an agony
of dispair and blow off great puffs of
patriotic gas because a newspaper editor
made a mistake and told the truth.
Somebody please tell me what it is but
murder, cold blooded at that. What
provocation did the poor Filipino ever
give us to cause us to strike him down?
They never threatened to invade our
country; they never blew up any of our
battle ships or called us pig heads.
They never molested us in any way. 1
TLey never put a chip on their shoulder
and dared us to knock it off. They
never even so much as made a face at
us, and yet, in the face of all these facts,
we invade their country, we shoot down
the bread winners of the women and
children because they resist our inva
sion, and here at home in our land of
peace and security, some of the two
legged things that infest our land bloat
up from the putridness of their false no
tions and think it is the gas of patriot
ism that causes them to swell because
the truth has been told concerning our
treatment of the poor Filipino. What
is it but murder?
Don't all you things get up at once,
you might scare me to see so many of
you with that dreadful bloat on, but
some one of you please tell me what it
would be if I were to go into one of my
neighbor's houses whose skin was a lit
tle different color from mine, and who
conducted his family affairs a little dif
ferent from mine, and because he resist
ed the invasion of his house, I should
hoot him because I wanted him to have
the rules governing his house the same
as mine, what would it be called? Now
be honest, what name would you give it?
I think I can see the lips of every hon
est man move as they would in framing
the word, murder; that is the word
that expresses it exactly. Let him who
will, bluster and swell up, from the
weak-minded doctor to the president;
let them swell even to the bursting of
themselves asunder, it will let some of
the rotteness run out. They think it is
patriotism. What good can we do the
Filipino, make him a taxpayer, is that
the idea? God help him after old Han
na holds him up. . Da we hope to make
him feed himself better? As a matter
of fact there was lest hunger and starva
tion in the Philippine islands before our
army disturbed the equanimity of their
affairs than there is in our own land
The expansionist exclaims, "we want
to lift them but of their benighted, half
savage state." I ask, what for, to drop
them in our American sweat-shops?
Expansionists lay, "we want to cultivate
their minda and get them out of their
state of ignorance." I ask, what for;
that they may have a keener tense of
their misery when their childreu have
to go to bed hungry that the maw of the
tax-gatherer and usurer be satisfied and
Shylock sets his pound of flesh? Now
we have gotten down to the meat of
this problem. It it to aatiafy the Shy
lock that all this malicious, cold blooded
murder of the poor. Filipino ia carried
on until he is subservient to their will.

Prairie City, Grant Co., Oregon, is an

souls, 58 miles west of Baker City and
14 miles east of Canyon City. There
are some lucrative miniug claims on
Dixio creek just north of Prairie City.
The soil here is very productive where
irrigation can be employed. Times are

pounds. When you recover vour breath
after being quoted the price of any arti

The kind of oranges you pay 10 cents

and fell over in a fit when we had to pay
50 cents for the hair cut and 25 cents for
the shave; it was the freight figured in,
you know. We called at the dental par
