OREGON CITY, JULY 24, 1903. The American game of poker has juxm prohibited in Mexioo. Diaz is lAfidently determined that his knowl i? ge of bluffing ' shall not beoome jgwaeraL The prize for the best definition July 4 was won by the answear: " The place - where George III got Judging from the daily grw Seng list of the victims of the toy pistol and explosions," a better definition ould be: "whn the ; American peo Sfle get off." ' A man who answered advertisments 3 cheap "stoTy papers" has some in ftawsting experiences, says an ex change. He loarned that by sending 'Jl to a Yankee he could get a core for itfionkenness. Sure enough he did. It was to "take the peldge and keep a." Later on he sent 50 2-cent :iamps to find out how to raise '-turnips successfully. He found out ""JuBt take hold of the tops and pull. " Being young, ho wished to marry, jiud sent 84 1-cent stamps to a Chicago l&riu for information as to vhow to rkfike an impression. When the ans wer came it read, "Sit down on a jjtin of dough." It was a little rough, 4ait he was a patient man, and ' tlugh he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered, read, "'How to double your money in six mouths. " Ha was told to convert his money into bills, fold" them and he ,. ijvpnd seo his money doublod. Next lie sent for twelve useful household particles, and he got a package of aatndles. He was slow to learn, so & sent fl to find oat "How to get trrch." "Work like the devil and Jtsver spend a cent." And that stopped him, but his brother wrote find out how to write a letter with out pen or ink. He was told to use -. lead pencil. He paid f 1 to learn 3iow to live without work, and was ftold on a postal card to "Fish for suckers as we do. " Ostrich farming is now a well . established industry a the United -States. According to a writer in 'Town and Country, there are now '800 birds in this country and those will idoutless form the nuols of that im menm) number that one day will cover ftho mesas of southern California, the meadows of Arizona, the vast plat 'jfauB of Texas, and the everglades of Florida as tlio kind do the Afrioan veldt today. Fifteen years ago American oritrioh farmors gave their limit serious attention to this sujoct. "The ostrich has come to stay. He vflotts little to keep not more than tho ordinary shoep and yields an annual income value of 30 to the proprietor.. One man can take nare ul a hundred ostriches. The creature is hardy and of a careless appetite. 'The average increase to the Btock each year is .between, fifteen and twenty ostriches to the pair. Somo have been known to produce as many as JJiirty seven in a yortr, Tho birds :re kept in pens in California and at source of revenue has boen found in exhibiting them to manv tourists who -j.ro attracted there. Incobators show s ng tho various stages of ostrioh.life are also in view. A growth from the size of a duck to a height of six foot is a questiou of only six months. When tho birds are a year old tlieir iWthors are ready for market. Tho wt-pping is accomplished by covering too oHtriche's head with a hood and plying a pair of shears. This process takes place every eight months. The feathers on the large side wings are Mit tiff near the root . the smaller -feathers on the tail are pulled out without injury to the bird, for on the Air now bestowed depends the future With of the ooming feather. In the icuurHO of throe weeks the stem left wtart to fall out, and a new feather Wfcins to grow, which in due time is Vakeu oft for tho benefit of the ostrich farmer. Those feathers are gradod and sent to tho feather manufacturers th' New York, who make thorn up into -JtufO beautiful articles of dross so view to tho hearts of those who buy them. When tho Ameroian woman eiui buy only the ostrich feather of the American coutiuont, the most sanguine JUepo of Edward Cawstou, the pioneer 'California ontrich farmer, will have iu realised. Two million dollars a!h yo;ir will then re'uiu in tha country, instead of going to London, and another magnificent industry will have been added to the already vast resoures of the greatest of all republics." A PRESIDENIAL POSSIBILITY Tom L. Johnson, the Moyar of Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the most conspicuos figures before the American people today. He is a Democrat and a Presidential possibility. The fol lowing from his Fourth of July speech is worthy the perusal of every man who loves this great American country of ours. "I have no ill will for Senator Hanna. Personally he is a nice man. In business he lives np to his agree ments. But his public record must be condemned. In our campaign last fall Senator Hanna put it out as his keynote that republicans should "stand pat." Now, think of that I Think of that as the political keynote for an intelligent community. "Stand pat!" Do yon know what that means? Why, to "stand pat" is the highest and biggest play of the pro fessional gambler in our great Ameri can game of draw pokker. He holds five cards. They may make the best or they may make the poorest hand in the deck. ' Holding them np close to him he ays; "I stand pat," which means he doesn't need any better , cards, or wants you .to think he doesn't need any better cards. Let the other players guess what he has. It is a game of bluff. That was Senator Hanna's game in Ohio politics. That was his keynote in a great campaign where men and women were interested in vital questions "stand pat I" Think of the fall from Abraham Linooln. " When he played the game of life called politics, he did not "stand pat.", He didn't hold five cards and bluff yon to guess. He played his hand open on the table be fore him where everybody could see it Lincoln, probably, never knew what a pat hand was. Oh, my repub lican friends of Nebraska, isn't it a fall from the republicanism Lincoln to the republicanism of Hanna? Think of Lincoln, humanity-loving Lincoln, with his open hands, and then of Mark Hanna with his "pat hands" ' One word in closing. This is my first viBit to your beautiful country. This is the first time I have stopped in your state, though I have passed through it before. I hope it will not be my last visit. And I hope above all that oar friend, Mr. Bryan, who has traveled and spoken so much all over the United States, will long be spared to continue his good work. I hope that the people of this country will oontinue to love and honor him as I love and honor him and yon here this afternoon. My friends, I thank you for your attention. Good-by. THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE Our Washington correspondent yes terday very perfectly Btated the trend of deinocrtiao discussion looking toward the party's next nominee for the presidency. With the fact ac cepted that President Roosevelt is to be the nominee of the republicans it is not unnatural that democratic leaders shoald be concerned this early to discover the personality most prominent in democratic favor throughout the oountry. What our correspondent says of Sen ator Gorman's popularity is confirmed by frequent expressions in the demo cratic press in all parts of the country. Because he is better known than most of tho others mentioned j because he conducted with splendid fability the first electoral campaign for Cleve land, and because he is a party figure of unqostioned wisdom and! patriot ism, his name is not unduly prom inent in present discussions of pro mising candidates. The final test of any man's availa bility oaunot now be "etenuined in the deuiooratio mind as it has been in the republicans case. The reasons why are too familiar to need re hearsal The fisrt session of a new congress is to intervene before the nomination is due and what may come out of the political caldron botwoen now and next midsummer is baffling to any imagination. What issues may or may not become para mount meanwhile are things that no one is now oompetent to guess. But as our correspondent clearly shows, a good sign of promise appears in the deuiooratio, situation. . That is in the certainty that the party means to have harmony in its ranks in 1904. It will not recognize the right of any man to do more than offer his conn sol. After the majority has settled on the party policy every man must follow tho flag, or got out of the way. No man unwilling to enter the coun cils of the, party with that understand ing should offer it advice or darken its counsel with words that are empty and selfishly arrogant. Talk about "eternal principals" being at stake iu more qestioug of expediency and experiment is folly spelled with capital letters. The torual principals of domocarcy can sist iu its fidelity to the causes of popular liberty, individual rights, equality in legislation aud admini. tration, tho dostrni tiwi of special pri OREGON CITY COURIER. vileges and the honest and economio handling of the people's money. Tiiese ends democracy has sought to achieve even in its most disasterous campaigns. The need to fight for them with even more vigor than ever was at not time in the past more obligatory than now. The man whom the democrats will nominate, without present regard for his name and mail address, will be the one whose record, views and party in tegrity will be such as to guarantee a campaign for the principals above stated and whose election would guarantee their strict application in the national administration. CRIMES MEASURE CIVILIZATION We never konw in these days when one of our cherished beliefs js going to get flatly knocked in the head. For a hundred years we have believed that yellow fever was due to unsani tary conditions and transmitted by contagion, or infection ;by fomites in the olothing, bedding or other be longings of those who were victims of the yellow scourge. But now we know with almost absolute certainty that a certain breed of mosquitoes, with a jaw-breaking Latin ' name, transmit the dread disease. ' After that comes a man with a book im which he tells ns that the multiplication of crimes is an evi dence of advancing civilization. To have that strike you off handed, would it not jar yon sensibly? Yet he has the audaoity to produce an array of proofs that make our old idea, that as civilization is hightened crime is lessened, appear as absurd as the proposition "if butter were worth 20 cents a pound how many teeth are there in a handsaw ?" ; The author does not use the word crime in the restricted sense, of a personally injury, or tort, or sin against humanity and devine "princi ples of righteousness. He speaks of those things which society com pounds or prohibits by laws made for the protection and betterment jf the general wellfare. The more civilized a people is the more multiplied will be the fine distinctions between the things the citizen should do and those he should not do and therefore the more cases there will be for those who ignore or infract these multiform statutes and ordinances. . : Law, as we learn at the threshold of the science, is "a rule of action prescribed by the sovereign authority commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong. "While we often complain of over legislation and being to mnoh governed, yet his tory testifies nnimpeaohably that the march of civilization is reassured by the multiplication of commands and prohibitions, called for by the com plex relations that ramify the social compact. Things that were permitted in an earlier stage of the organism are now prohibited by a finer sense of moral and social obligations, and things that once were left to individ ual judgement are now erected into duties incumbent on all by an edict of the state. A notable instance adduced ' is that of Massachusetts. It is from 1 that state we oftenest hear the riot act read to other states and sections for moral and social derelictions. Thinking of that idiosyncrasy only one would naturally expect to find Massachusetts as free of crimes as itis ef indigenous cacti. But as a matter of record Massachusetts shows more crimes and criminals pro rata than any other state in the union, with New York a close second. Poor old, greaser ridden New Mexico! not yet civilized enough to get the consent, of Mass achusetts' representatives to beoome a state, has the fewest crimes vand criminals in proportion to population. Brutally Tortured. A rase came to light that for persistent and un merciful torture lias perhaps never been eitualed Joe Ooloblok, of Colusa, Calif., write.
