elected mayor of St. Paul, by a majority
of oyer 2000. .
In New York City, 200,000 women
workers receive an average wage of 60
cents a day. How much suffering and
misery this fact implies surpasses tho
power of imagination.
The Southern states have converted
their cotton factories into slave pens for
the rising generation of savages. Thev

ages of five and twelve, many of them

It has been found by numerous ex

necessary for absorbing its water will
prevent for a long period its becoming
rancid.
Ci.iminai.h are increasing more rapidly

or one to 757. The seizures are Irom the
report of the National Prison Congress.
Crematory companies would do well
to note the statement of a chemist who
lias determined, by analyses, that ft
human body of average size contains
three pounds and 13 ounces of calcium.
The current quotation of calcium is $300
an ounce, which would give us each a
a value of $18,300.
Wai.teb Wku.man, the Washington

control of the government, and that the
struggle will begin with the ronoraina
titm of Roosevelt.
.Since America i beef sells much cheap
r iu London than in New York, tho
talk of Representative Tonguo, of Ore

both silly and ridiculous. He must
think the American people are fools.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Clackamas Comity with a Third Less Population has a Much
Createv Expense than Maricn.
Fallowing are the semi-annual rep irts of the county clerks of Marion and
Clackamas counties for the six months ending March 31, 1902. Compare them
and see the difference. The population of M arion is 50 more than of Clacka
mas, but. still its expenses are 33 1 3 per cent less. Has the management of the af
fairs by county officials anything to do with it? It can't be laid to the democrats
or populists in office. The sheriff's office of ClackamM cost $1356.11 while that of
Marion cost $2052.00, the clerk of Claekamas cost $1,161.30, while the clerk of
Marion cost $1524.98. As near as we can figure the cause of our excessive expense
and taxation lies with the republican management of the county's affairs : .

6.62 of the state tax, ov6r 2 times as much as we should. Marion pays $1.61
and is next to the lowest county in the state in regard to expense, while Clacka
mas ranks next to the h'ghest. On March 7th we published a list of all the coun
ties and their expense, with comparisons.

VOLUME XX, NO. 1.
With this issue the Courier-Herald
begins the 20th yearlof its . existence.
The paper bas, changed hands but once
since its establishment, and the present
owner has had charge for nearly eight
years and was with the paper nearly
four years before purchasing it, making
over 11 years continuous connection
with the business. From its birth the
paper made a healthy and continuous
growth, especially so during the laft
three or four years. It has had but lit
tle public patronage but has always
been able to keep its head above water
and is beholden to no one outside of its
office for its success except its liberal
advertisers and subscribers, who appre
ciated its independent business methods.
We kindly thank those who have so
kindly aided ua and only hope that we
shall merit a continuance of their pat
ronage so that we can keep the Courier-Herald
ahead of all others in the
number 'of its readers and patrons.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The proposed initiative and referen
dum amendment to the constitution
must probably have from forty-five to
fifty thousand votes in its favor, even
though there is not one vote cast against
it. The man who tavors it aud does not
vote for it is likely to be counted against
It just as though he voted no.
The citizens at neariy every place they
visit iu the county are greeted by good
crowds. The illustrations (by figures on
blackboard) of Charles F. Clark bring
down the house and are convincing
arguments for a redaction of the county
debt and expenses.
Vote for initiative and referendum
amendment.
The statement is being rmde by the
republican stump speaker, Miyor Q. B.
Dimiek, that J. E. Jack, our candidate
for sheriff, was a tax-eater but not a
taxpayer as was his opponont. The rec
ords in the court house show that Mr.
Jack has paid a tax every year from
1888 to 1901, the total amount for that
peritxl being $253.46, his tax for 1901 be
ing $27.81. The tax paid by Mr. Shaver
for same period was $231.41, and his
tax for 1901 was $37.43. Mr. Jack has
pai i $21.05 more tax in the 14 years than
Mr. Shaver. Both Mr. Jack and Mr.
Shaver have paid taxes on real property
assessed to others besides the sums men
tioned. The statement is being made by Mr.
Campbell on the .stump that leads
people to believe that the clerk's office
has used over $1000 worth of stationery
during the past few months. This
amount of stationery was no doubt used,
but not by Mr. Cooper or in his office,
but by the whols set of officers in the
court house and includes blank books,

An Open Letter to W. J. Furnish.
The fact that so much stress has been
laid upon the "superior business qualiii
cations" of William J. Furnish for the"
office of governor and the lack of busi
ness qualifications of others, by the
"Oreiionian" and the republican press
generally, might of itself is good and suf
ficient ground for all tax-payers and la
boring men to cast their ballots against
this much to do Furnish. When you
are voting for a man to conduct your
public business in order to get the right
man for the position, place yourself in
the same attitude as if yuu were going to
employ a man to conduct your private
business.
Would you look fora good genial man
of unquestionable honor and integrity or
would you look for one that thought
more of his own financial interests than
the general public, or his poor neigh
bors? Which of the two would be most
Ikely to take '"rake-offs" or sell the
people out for gold? We have bad experi
ence in the paston this very question,
especially in Clackamas county in the
county judge's office. One of the best
financies for our country was one of the
poorest for himself. I refer to W. L.
White, whose name will always be re
membered af the friend of the taxpayers.
Evidently some one thinks there has
been a mistake or the republican press
would not be raising such a storm in de
fense of their candidates We socialists
dislike to mention names or attack indi
viduals as it is not in keeping w ith our
principles, for we know what and where
in the people are injured, and the cause
of all the corruption and crime lies at
the door of the competitive system. But
knowing how and through 'whom Mr.
Furnish gt his stait we will put him a
few questions,
Did you ever bel ng to the Knights of
Labor?
Did you ever belong to the socialistic
organization known as the Videttes?
Did you not liave your comrades at
Pendleton through these organizations
petition the comrades of Oregon City to
iret you the appointment for deputy U .
S. marshnll under the Hon. John
Myers?
Did you not get (he appointment
against other men, such as R. B. Bestie
and Gip Wills, w ho were more entitled
to the position than you were?
You were a poor boy at that time were
you not, Billy?
Did vou believe in socialism at that
time? Of course we know that you do
now. Now is it not a fact, Billy, that if
you had not gotten the appointment at
that time you would not in all pre lia
bility have been sheriff of Umatilla
county and if not sheriff, would not have
been in the hanking business, and if not
in that business, do you think you would
have been the nominee of the hank cor
porations and trusts for the office of gov
ernor, and would yon not in all prob
ability have been a socialist yet? Of
course you did not use ai y money to
secure this nomination as Comrade Ryan
and Judge Chamberlain have, and nat
urally would not expect to get anything
back as they would if they were elected.
Do you expect to get the votes of the la
bor unions and Ithe "working mules"
with your record staring them in the
tace? Do you deny the men who got you
your first political job? What are you
going to do fo them when they flaunt
the red ting in your face? Will you turn
the gattling guns loose on them ?

t rRS. BARBARA MoBONALD, Presl
jVl dont of the St. Louis Blue Ribbon

concerning Peruna from 2947 Dayton
Street, St, Louis, Mo. :
"It la with foolings of gratitude for
benefits derived from the use of Peruna
that 1 desire to proclaim to human-kind
my experience, hoping that it will bene
fit some unfortunate sufferer like myself.
"Suffering for years with what ap
peared to be an incurable malady, and
after a great expense inourred consult
ing physicians without any benefit, I
was recommended to try Peruna. As a
last expedient 1 purchased a bottle, and
before one-half of the contents were used
1 felt the beneficial results. I am con
tinuing to use same, and might say I
am entirely well. My disease seemed to
bo catarrh of the stomach, and the

which I owe to tho use of Peruna."
