THE TRUTH
ABOUT
WA li.
THE BOER
The Weekly Bulletin, published at
Sidney, Australia, tells the truth about
the South African r. In comment
ing on the iiidescrib tble true! ties prac
ticed by the English soldiery on the wo
men and children of the two republics,
huddled together and starved in the foul
s nelling pens, it says:
"Yet British anl Australians, forsooth 1
must acquiesce in this barbarous method
of warfare bet at' 8) it is ueeessary to "see
the thirg through" to "Bave the em
pire." History may yet show that tl e
very worst foea of the British empire
are those within its own borders who
have abetted the schemes of Rhodes and
Chamberlain, and shrieked or eat silent
while tha two brave little republic
were being throttled out of existent e.
History may yet sl;ow that the very
worst foes of the British empire are those
contingents are thoroughly sick and
ashamed of their ignoble task. Iu deed
they are now attesting with their lives
the words of a great En .lishman at a he
roic period of England's history that
Pitt, who, when the jingoes of a century
ago were bringing calamity on the em
pire, declared in the House of Lords :
"If I were an American as I am an
Englishman, while a foreign troop was
hinded in my 'country, I never would
lay down my arms never, never,
never!"
It is no wonder that Europe stands
amazed at the despurate resistance of
thoBnersto overwhtlming force. The
world's history can show no more glo
rious defiance for the sake of country
and liberty. Those greybeard fathers
and stripling sons who died together in
the trenches to beat back foreign arms
have become as immortal as the Spartan
band whom Leonidas led, or the little
band of Texans who perished in the Al
amo. Their courage will nerve hearts
and strengthen arms for many a century
to come; whereyer freedom is prized
men will take hats off and speak of them
proudly and humbly. Tht-y have proved
themselves worthy of their Dutch fore
fathers the men who resisted Spaitr
on land more signally and more tena
cious'y than England resiste I heron
the sea. And now it is England who
plays Spain's part, and at the height
of em pire attacks liberty for the sake of
greed and aggrandizement. Absit
omen !
Although I am victorious,
I cannot put to flight,
Those Boers most inglorious
That rap and tap and bite.
Uneasy lies the cranium,
They pierce through sheet and quilt;
John Bull's the gay geranium
That's for their torture built.
Judge.
POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
The San Francisco Call of October 20
preaches a short lay Bermon on office-
tlonal government. What would be
thought of a candid ate fur the presidency
of the Southern Pacific Railway or the
San Francisco Savings Union if he
should go among the stockholders and
say, 'I eeek this place as a representa
tive of the democratic party,' He
would be hooted out of the contest. But
if he went saying, 'I Btand here repre
senting no party, personality or sect, but
only honest and profitable management
of the business of these stockholders,'
every one would recognize the propriety
of his position."

"How long, think you," asked Sir
Robert Ball in a lecture he recently de
livered, "would it take to get to the star
Alpha Centauri, traveling thither 180,
000 miles a second? It would take no
less than three years, traveling all the
time at that tremendous pace, before it
would reach its destination. There are
stars so remote that if the news of the
victory of Wellington at Waterloo had
flashed to them in 1815 ou that celestial
telegraph system, it would not have
reached them yet, even if the message
had sped at the pace indicated, and had
been traveling all the time. There tire
stars so remote that if, when William
the Conqueror landed in England in
1006, the news of hnconq'ie-t had been
dispatched to them, and if the signals
flew over t a wire at a pace which would
carry them seven times around the earth
in a single second of time, that news
would not have reached them yet. If
the glad tidings of that first Christmas
in Bethlehem, nineteen centuries ago,
had thus been disseminated through the
universe, there are yet stars of which
astronomers could tell us, plunged into
space in depths so appalling that even
the 1901 years which haye elapsed since
that event would not have been long
enough for the news to reach them,
though it traveled 181,000 miles in every
second."
Weak

Strong.
" I suffered f rom female weakness for five
months," writes Miss Belle Hedrick, of
Nye, Putnam Co., W. Va. "I was treated
by e. good physician bnt he did me no good.
I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. V., for advice, which I received, telling
me to take his FAVORITE PRESCRIP
TION.' When I had U9ed the medicine a
month my health was much improved. It
has continued to improve until now I can
work at almost all kinds of house-work. I
had scarcely any appetite, but it is all
right now. Have gained several pounds in
weight. I would advise all who suffer from
chronic diseases to write to Dr. Pierce."

The Courier-Herald has begun work on its Annual New Year Souvenir number which vill be issued shortly before the
first of January. The last New Year number gave universal satisfaction and was a credit to Oregon City and Clackamas County,
and the demand was larger than the edition. Of this )'ear's edition thousands of copies will be printed so that all can be supplied,
Ech paid up subscriber will receive a copy of the publication frse; others will be charged 10 cents per copy, which is les than the
actual cost. It is intended that this number will take the place of a board of trade or commercial club publication and hundreds
will be sent east to friends and prospective residents of Clackamas County, as there is nothing of the kind in print to send to
constant applicants for literature descriptive of this county and city.
We earnestly request farmers and others who have farms, buildings, stock, etc., from which good pictures can be made, to
communicate with this office with view of having same inserted in ttiis number. It is a big task to get up a publication of this kind
and the more help the belter it will be. We will endeavor to give all a chance to get pictures of their homes or surroundings
printed, but it is impossible for us to sec all personally and we take this means of letting you know that we do not wish to slight
you. If you have a nice picture of a bunch of sheep, flock of chickens, herd of cattle, or anything that will be of interest, send it
X in to this office.

England is sowing the wind to reap

Nothing. Its administration is a busi

the stress of its indictment of the min's

no doubt represents the predominant

which it delares to be "much more bit
