You must register again if wish to
vote at primaries or'at the June election
this year.
Tub road from Oregon City to Baker's
bridge is again reported impassable on
account of a slide. This is the usual
winter occurrence and until the work
is done right; it will continue to trouble
residpnts of the sections beyond.
Congkkbs is making itself ridiculous
over Cuba and the Philippines. It is
afraid that if the islands were accorded
living privileges to trade with us they
would injure'our commerce. If Importa
tion of their products will be detrimen
tal to us, why not give them full liberty
to bestow their injuries on other na
tions? Why i-h'.'i' ' Uncle Sam be the
dog in the mmger t ''e Hands?
A piuLANUiitoi'ivr is supposed to be a
person who loves his fellowmen. But
that is an old fogy definition., Carnegie
accumulated his many useless millions
by holding np (like a highwayman) his
workmen, and now struts around the
world giving a few millions to this school
and a few to that, and lolheis a phil
anthropist. Though a robber of the poor,
of many thousands of poor .for years and
years, he is lauded as a good man.

Tub timn for payment of taxes has
been changed by law. If you pay half
your taxes before tho tir?t Monday in
April (not April 15th as the Enterprise
had it) you have until fall to pay the
balance, if not.a penalty of 10 pir cent is
addod. If you are able to pay all
your taxes before March 15th you get a
rebate of 3 per cent. The time for pay
ment of taxes in the past has usually
been extended but the.new law prevents
that, and you are now compelled to pay
on time or have your property sold.
"Tun farmurs of England are crying
out against the increased burdens they
are called upon to bear in the name of
patriotism," writes a correspondent in
Great Britain, of the American Miller.

II mil! is a token of republican pros
perity: According to iho annual report
of the Mate factory commission, the em
ployment of child labor in Illinois has
increased ;'.) per cent in tho last your.
In 1900 tho inspectors found 14,256
children tit work in tho factories, and in

significant : Five hundred customs cloth

the number will bo largely increased in

Two weeks ago the Courier-Herald
published a statement, hacked by otlicial
figures from the court hotm showing
that Clackamas county was over ifl'JL.',
000 in debt on February 1st.

the tax list did not cot aa much this
year as usual. It did not, but it is no
thanks to him ; the sheriff collected so
much of the tax that there was hardly
anything left to publish and still the
bill for publishing was over (450. His
rates are 50 per Jcent higher than those
under the Courier-Herald contract for
printing.
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
The following, from Judge Murray F.
Tuley, of Chicago, dean of the circuit
court branch.'spoken Nov. 30, 1901, to
the Iroquois Club'in that city, shows
how a.learned aud grave judge regards
the judicial driftin'thiB country :
"Have not the United States judges
from the very oeginning been what Jef
ferson declared them to be 'sappers
and miners,' undermining the constitu
tion of the United States?
"It never has been considered any
part of the duty of the juicia'y power
to suppress riots, prevent disorder, or
preserve the peace. The duty of the
legislative power is to make the la, of
the judiciary to interpret and expound
it, and of the executive toenforce it.
"The judge, without hearing the de
fendant, ommands that is, decrees
what he shall or shall not do in advance,
and without a hearing enforces the per
formance of the commands of the writ.
Then he brings the defendant before
him, tries him without a jury, adjudges
him guilty of a violation of the com
mands of the writ formulated by the
judge himself in the absence of the de
fendant, and sentences him to punish
ment not defined by law, but resting in
the breast of suc.i judge.
"Not only does the amount of punish
ment rest in the breast of the judge, but
even the place where the imprisonment
shall be inflicted rests in the breast of
the judge.
"Is not such a proceeding by the judge,
government by injunction and a substi
tute for trial by jury ?" I
CORRUPTION MOST CORRUPT.
The Review of the Week, an English
conservative society weekly, says of the
parliament of Great Britain: 'Tarlia
ment is destroying its soul, the soul of
the nation. The vital functions of
financial control, of statesmanlike fore
sight have disappeared from parliament.
Look where we will, parliamentary gov
ernment is not only decadent but dead.
The best men of all nations refuse to
have anything to do with it; and in
England no less than elsewhere, lheto
ricians, talkers, boodlers, fine gentle
men, procurante philosophers, and Cir
ce's rout of led-captains agape for hon
ors or personal ends, are the people who
man the legislature. The main function
of parliament is no longer to check
finance or to govern." The Oregonian
of the 0th instant emphasizes this dis
mal statement in its editorial on that
"Blot Upon Civilization," the United
States senate. To quote in part: "It is
the cesspool of American politics. Thither
repair thebrainlosi rich, the blackguard
poor, the conscienceless rapscallions and
the coarsest clowns that imported
strains and native talents can produce .
Such assininity on one hand a"d rascal
ity on the other as our national life af
fords, painstakingly erect themselves
into an imposing arch into which as a
keystone the United States tenate fits
with miraculous precision.
It has tied the nation's hands with
Cuba, j fomented iu-urrectiou in tho
t'hilinpinos, prostituted the army with
its trailio in appointments, and made its
list of e i ployes au instrument of sup
pott to mab and reinalo stipendiaries ol
its members."
The above is a ll;tiug introduction to
the following "prize poem" on"Tho Ore
gon Delegation:"

And more appalling to lur tlioiu oalling

A pigmy ruling an empire state,
Who, like Jew Dreyfus, betrayed his life trust,
And rose at Balem on Coibett's slate.

The Entfrprisp last week says that
the Clatsop county tax was higher than
that of Clackamas. Sich is not the
can-, the county tax of that county is 31
mills, one mill lower than Clackamas.
This still leaves Clackamas the "ban
ner" county in the state in regard to
high taxes just as we stated.
POLITICAL NOTES.
Alfred Luelling will no doubt succeed
himself as county treasurer. Ha is a
first-class official in eveVy sense and is
entitled to a second term. County Clerk
Cooper will probably be the unanimous
choice on citizens ticket for clerk, as will
J. E. Jack for assessor.
Dr. Seamann is candidate for coroner
on the republican ticket. Dr. Stuart
and R. L. Holman are the other candi
dates for the position.
P'very person interested in good gov
ernment should attend the meeting in
Oregon City on Tuesday, February ISth.
It will be decided at that time whether
a straight democratic, citizens, or inde
pendent ticket will be put up by those
opposed to the republicin machine. A
clean cou ity ticket, if it is supported as
it should be, would no doubt win, there
being many republicans that are not
satisfied with the way in which the
county affairs are being conducted and
would like a new deal all around.
Milwaukie and Clackamas precincts
have more tban enough candidates to
fill the republican ticket from top to bot
tom. Henry Stevens for recorder will
probub'y 1 e the only representative
from this section on the ticket, with pos
sibly a place on the legislative ticket.
The republicans north of the Clackamas
seem bound to have a commissioner, if i
the number of candidates is any indica
tion. J. R. Morton is up for renomina
tion and seems to have the best of it,
The other candidates from north of Clack
amas are A. W. Cooke, W. H. Counsell
and Jim Roots. , .
The Philippine Mess.
(Contributed.)
Did you ever hear, do vou want to know
How we govern the ignorant Filipino?
We give bim freedom in matters of fun,
But civic affairs we control with a gun.
'Tis strange that he is such a poor fool
As not to submit to carpet-bag rule;
But welcome at once without further de
lay, The horrible force of carpet-bag sway,
And take such freedom for what it is
worth,
Or lay bis plans to get off the earth .
He had better begin to learn to behave
In a manner befitting a toiling tdave.
His plaintive appeals to old Uncle Sam,
He ought to know, don't to much
amount
Won't be considered for a minute.
While carpet-baggers know there is no
monev in it,
We, on Iheui 'tis said, we bought them
tor gold,
When they and their country forever
were sold .
We bought them from Spain, we bought
them for gain,
And their appeals for freedom are sim
ply in vain.

Brain Food Nonsense.
Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish a particular part of the body,
but it will sustain every other part. Yet
however good your food may be, its nu
triment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You muBt prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthv
action. IpnriUes the blood, and makes
you leei tiuoyant ana vigorous, iou
