OREGON CITY, SEPT. 5. 1902.
The anministration is averse to a full
investigation of affairs in the hili p
pinne Islands.
Tub government by injunction in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia demonstrates that federal
judges should be elected by the people,
and n t selected by the president.
Prosperity has struck the Des Chutes
Echo. I printed in its last number
seven columns of land notices. Con
siderable timber land has been taken in
that section this season.
And now the Beef Trust proposes a
separate "selling company" to market
its 25-cents-a-pound-in-America-and-10
cents a pound-in - England product.
Merely a good excuse for printing more
etock certificates on which the public
must pay interest.
The tariff is the "mother of trustB,"
with two exceptions, the coal-oil and
anthracite-coil trust. "They owe their
pernicious power as trusts to railroad
discrimination. But as all are of the
same breed, to say that thesa two aie
mephews of the tariff will correctly de
note their relationship to the remain
der of the family.
In Cuba business establishments are
closing, plantations are ceasing to be op
erated, laborers by the thousand are nut
of employment and peasants are killing
and eating their work animals. This
condition of things in the new republic
at our doors is due to the republican
cougress at Washington, which, in obedi
ence to the orders of the sugar trust and
the beet sugar lobby, threw the national
honor overboard and left Cuba to suffer.
Ovbr at Rockey Point, according to
Peoples Press, the farmers (they called
it a pool) pooled several thousand
bushels of wheat, and then invited the
grain buyers to bid on the lot. They
iicld a meeting on the 18th opened the
bids and found them all alike. You see
grain dealers were smart enough to f jrm
m pool too, bo there you have it, trust
against trust. Of course, the grain deal
era will come out ahead, for the elevator
companies and railroad companies are
practically one, and if the farmers try to
' ship their own wheat, there will be a
"scarcity ol cars?" as usual. How do
you like it farmers?
An EiiBtern authority offers to the
obese an "anti-fat" prescription which
lie calls the "hot-water and rare-beef
treatment." It is claimed that nothing
t drink but hot water before meals, no
drink whatever witli the meals, and
nothing to eat at meals but half-broiled
beefsteak and dry toaet or lUBks, and
nothing between meals but cold water
or weak tea without sugar or milk, will
consume surplus fat at the rate of seven
ptunda a week easily; that a month of
this diet will usually take off all the flesh
that can be safely spared ; sometimes a
fortnight will suffice. After that an or
dinarily careful diet, avoiding those
things that are known to make fat fast,
euch as sugar and potatoes, with regu
lar but light exercise, will keep him
"down to weight."
An Arkansas mechanic has invented
a machine which he claims means per
petual motion. The inventor, J. S.
Grimes, says he has devoted twelve
years to its development, lie took a
circular piece cut from a thick hour', and
trimmed down the edge to represent a
circular switchback railway. In the
center of this beard he fastened a second
circular board on a steel post which fit
into a ball-bearing bicycle axle . To the
top board was fasteued, by means of a
rod, a small wheel which was so fixed
that it would strike at eacu revolution
of the upper Aboard at a point near the
top of the incline plane of the lower
bwrd.the lower board being nightly
inclined. Grimes thon placed a weight
ii top of the other disc, placed the
heel nt the top of the incliued plane,
released it and the machine began to
move and contiuued in motion, until
estopped by its inventor. It started by
the wheel running down the incline on
one side. This tnkes the weight on the
opposite side away from the center of
gravity aud it carries the machine
around until the wheel strikes the top of
the incline again, when force is impart
ed to the revolving upper disc. The in
ventor says he worked for six years be
fore he discovered a way to force the
carrier wheel over the highest point of
the circular track, although the distance
to overcome in this machine was less
than an inch. Sonio western capitalists
Lave organized a company to exploit the
invention.

OREGON CITY -COURIER-HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,. 1902.
FINANCIAL BALOONING.
That staunchest of republican organs,
The Philadelphia . Press, sounds a note
of warning against inflation. The Press
is edited by Charles Emory Smith, who
has not a Bingle pessimistic hair in bis
head. Yet Mr. Smith finds conditions
warranting some pretty plain talk about
"tulip beds." .
The transaction Ly which Charles M.
Schwab "made" $18,500,000 out of the
Bethlehem steel works is taken as a
text for a strong editorial utterance.
Mr. Schwab is reported to have bought
these works for $7,500,003 and to have
sold them to the ship-building trust for
$26,000,000 in its securities, receiving
$10,000,000 in trust deed certiflcatep,
$8,000,000 of preferred and $8,000,000 of
common stock.
"This," says The Press, "is the way
people once 'made' money in the tulip
mania in Holland. Everyone concerned
'made' a lot of money until some foolish
man tried to realize. Even Mr. Schwab,'
The Press adds, "cannot eat the shares
and bond of the shipbuilding trust.
They will not do for wall paper. The
trust can make no more money than the
business of its separate plants can make
united, and there is not one of them
but, to the knowledge of all men, has
had and not long ago the dryest of
dry years. This money can be 'made'
only by selling these securities to the
public. Will the public buy? It has
seen asphalt smash, it has watched rub
ber go down, and it sees even the great
steel. trust hanging at prices which are
ridiculous if people only believed that
full ytars in iron and steel can last,"
From which the press draws the con
elusion that if the public does not buy,
this money cannot be "made."
"It will go," according to The Press
prophecy, "where went the money
'made' in tulips, in South Sea securi
ties, in mines and the New York realty
craze, in the western realty booms about
Indianapolis and other western cities in
1873, in California lands in 1883, and in
a great array of southern land sites and
mines in 1893."
EACH FOR ALL: ALL FOR EACH.
Rev. Dr. Waihiugton Gladden, a
clergyman of national reputation, con
tributes an article to the February num
ber of Forward, a Sunday school publi
cation of the Presbyterian Board, which
is remarkable for its vivid re-statement
of the fact that love, or to be more ex
plicit, helping others to bear their bur
dens, is the law of social life. He says:
"A convenient statement of the law is
ti e maxim, "Each for,; all and all for
each." This signifies that we are living
together In community ; that we have
vast interests in common ; that the com
munity as a whole Bhould administer all
the public resources tor the equal bene
fit of every "citizen ; that every citizen
should hold his abilities and resources
as tributary to the good of the whole
community. Where each citizen con
siders his time and his talents aud his
property as held ;in trust for the general
good, it is evident that there will be a
great fund of social good for distribu
tion among the members of the com
munity ; and when the fund of social
good is freely and equitably put at the
disposal of the community eery one
will have an abundance.
"This is our scheme, but its succcess
Is not yet so sure as we couli wibIi , and
its failure, BO far as it is failing, is dus to
our inability to recognize the other half
of the maxim, which tells us that each
must live for all. We all are ready
enough to take our contribution out of
the common fund, but we all are not
ready to make our contribution to it.
Our practical reading of the maxim Is
apt to be, "all for each and each for him
self." We want this collective neigh
bor otou's to love us freely, to think of
us and provide for us aud protect us and
give us liberty and light aud happiness,
but we do not realize that if we expect
this we must love him too, and hold our
selves and our possessions in trust for
his service.
"It is not money that we lack for our
common needs so much as it is intelli
gence. aud conscience and consecrated
te-viee. Most of us are faiu to think
that men can be lT.red o furnish these ;
but money will never hire the kind of
service that is needed in the adminis
tration of public affairs.
"It the motto of the average citizen is
"All for each and each man for himself,"
those whom we ' employ to administer
our common funds will be sure to adopt
the same motto; their chief interest will
be to enrich themselves, and they will
find many opportunities for bo doing.
The public funds will thus be turned
into private cha.inels, and our collective
neighbor will become a colossal robber.
Those who are employed to dispense
the bounty of the community and who
ought to dispense it equally and impar
tially to those to whom it belongs, come
to regard it as plunder which they may
keep for themselves or distribute among
their friends.
"What a glorious thing it would be to
live in a community where this law was
recognized and obeyed ; where the citi
ten was aa eager to promote th com
mon weal as the members of a loving
family are to minister to its welfare;
where those who served the state served
more for love than for lucre; where the
man who sought to make gain of office,
or who plotted by legalized extortion t o
enrich himself at the expense of the
community was shunned as a social
leper; where a happy people, working
together to increase the common good,
and dispensing it with justice and wis
dom, filled their borders with plenty and
with beauty, with gladness and with
peace!"
This synoptic presentation of Christ
ian socialism cannot but meet with the
heaviest approval of the veriest social
ist, who seems but too often unaware
of the historic fact that the Nazirene
Carpenter who was the founder of
Christianity, was, in his day and gener
ation, the herald of social change, of
progre ss of revolution.

LAB Oil DAY.
A Great Success, Crowds Throng
Streets.
Monday dawned fair, with a cool
northerly breeze from the mountains
and before the sun had risen high above
the horizon, the people of the city and
country, began to appear on the streets.
The occasion being the observance, for
the first time in Oregon City of "Labor
Day." The mills were all closed and
the store doors locked aud the hum of
industry hushed, and for the first time
in nine years men in all walks of life,
were free from the cares of grinding toil.
All along the street flags, all sizes,
bunting and ribbons were in evidence.
From Dr. Oarll's window hung, as usual
OLD GLOHY. At 10:30 the procession
started from the mill headed by thirty
battle scarred veterans dressed in blue,
remnants of the days of 65, following
closely came the popular Woodman band
and the no less popular Milwaukie baud.
The music which they furnished was ex
ceedingly enjoyable aud well renured.
The Oregon City boys were tastely dress
ed in white Bints and Milwaukie men
wore very becomingsuitsof blue. Then
c'osely following the bands came twenty
five ot the most beautiful floats every
seen on the streets of this city. Time
and spice will not admit of the mention
ing of each individual ti at but suffice
it to say that every industry from the
smallest to the largest was beautifully
presented and perfectly depictured.
This pageant of art and beauty extend
ed Irom the woolen mills to the
Congregational church embracing one
thousand people and over. It passed
from south to north twice and at 10:45
dispersed, the people then going to the
park where a literary program was
rendered, consisting of an excellent read
ing by R. II. Miller, an oration on Labor
by J. II. Morgan, from the East, and
two fine selection by that ever pleasing
quartet of the Maccabees.
At 1 o'clock the people ate their
luncheons at the paik and at 1:30 the
Oregon City and the Fifeis Union cross
ed bats on the park diamond. The
same was a little loose on the part of
Portland but the home team with Califf
in the box displayed the usual txcelleut
work. The game was for nine inning
and resulted in a score of 9 to 1 in favor
of Oregon City.
In the evening occurred a dance which
was largely attended by the young ele
ment of thU city. Manager Howard
deserves special mention for the pains
taking effort which he exerted iu or
ganizing this movement.
