Senator Hanna and Perry S. Heath

Canada claims to "be living on the

There is'nt much glory for anyone in
the present Panama revolution. If they

Tub W. C. T. U. have requested the

A NewYork physician who advertised
f 5,f 00 for an ear to be grafted on his
patient, received over 000 offers. The
large number who were willing to part
with an ear at that price are evidently
not sharing in the "unexampled pros
perity" which the Republican party
claims we are enjoying.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon has. in
troduced a resolution in the Senate 'pro
viding for the popular election of Bona,
tors. The House has several times
passed such a hill but the Senate man
ages to keep it in committee, so that the
Senators shall not be forced to vote on
it.
President Roosevelt is trying hard to
induce the members of his own party to
indorse his policy toward the levolution
in Panama. By his party recognition of
the independence of Panama and by pre
venting the Columbian government
from adopting the usual method of sup
pressing the rebellion, the President
has shown a reckless disregard for the
rights of the South American countries,
which is quite opposed to the spirit and
long established policy of our govern
ment. Not content with this ,he has giv
en oat for publication a statement on the
canal negotiations originally written for
his annual message to Congress, which
has not yet been sent to that body. In
the statement, which was written before
the revolution in Panama broke out the
offers is a gratuitous insult to the national
honor of Columbia, Nicaragua and all
other Latin American republics. Re
ferring to the failure of the negotiations,
the President declared that according to
high authorities on international law, the
treaty of 1816 gave ub the right to build
the canal without Columbia's consent.
He advised that after we decided which
route was the better, we should not per
mit those whom the fortunes of posses -sionhave
put in temporary control of the
land to prevent the completion of the
canal, and that if they did not come to a
straightforward agreement with us, we
should take the matter into out own
hands. In the first place, as this state
ment was cut out of the message, its
publication was entirely uncalled for,
and especially inopportune at a moment
when our relations with Columbia are
so strained. The most arbitrary con
struction of the treaty of 1846 does not
give us the right, the President intimates
and even if it did, does not apply to
Nicaragua, which country the President
also includes in his threat. Why should
he accuse Columbia of bad faith becaue
she did not grant in a few weeks defin
ite concessions in a matter which has
been under consideration half a century?
What in this affair justifies the President
in claiming for this country the right of
eminent domain over the territory of
our sister Republics? Futhermore why
should he speak of these countries as be
ing in "temporary" possession of the
canal routes? There was no national
emergency to excuse or justify his courses
the fate of the canal was not even in
question, it was more pique at Colum
bia's failure to ratify a treaty which we
believed a fair one. The Columbians of
fered to negotiate another treaty and
there was the alternative of the Nicara
guau route. Whatever one may think
of his action in recogniziug Panama, his
unnecesuary publication of a discarded
portion of his coming message was a
serioui blunder.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
It Is well to pause at this Thanksgiv
ing season from the cares of a busy life
la this busy world and take stock of the
thousand and one things for which we
all ought to be thankful to Him who ia
the giver of all the precious gifts that
come to us poor mortals oh this mun
dane sphere. It is a fitting season for
a Thanksgiving featival, and this year
of all vears, the American people, the
people of Oregon and this valley have
cause to be thankful. The season of
sowing and planting is over and the crop s
are garnered. Our barns are bursting
with the fullness of much fruit Of the
soil. Peace and plenty have abounded
around and about us, and all of us who
have deserved to succeed in life's battle
have won something worthy of the sweat
and toil of the year's work. It is well.
The Thanksgiving festival is the oldest
hoilday we celebrate as people. It was
instituted and celebrated by our fore
fathers many long years before the birth
of the National life. It was born in the
cloud land of distress, penury and trials
of the old pioneers who blazed the first
path of American civilization when the
colonies were yet a dependcy of the
British crown. It has been handed
down to us from year to year and from
generation to generation by the descen
dants of those whose dauntless courage
and unconquerable spirit made the
present possible. While today we ren
der thanks to him"Whodoeth all things
well" for the material blessings we have
enjoyed during the year, for life and
health and happiness, we should not
forget those who have been less fortu
nate than ourselves. It is more "Blessed
to give than to receive." May the next
year be as full of the blessings of life
as the the last has been.
Prepare to Fight
This life Is a fight in which the best

graduation day.
ENERGY will give strength to the
limbs of the athlete, the arm of the Black
smith, and will give the spring to the step

THE KAISER'S SERMON.
The German kaiser is the most im
pressive ruler on the European conti
nent. The earlier idea that he was
flighty, cranky and uncertain of sane
action has long since found its quietus.
William is a king who connects. When
he sets out a-horse or a-foot he knows
where he is going and haa developed a
superb faculty of getting there all
right.
Not only so, but he possesses a char
acter on which rests no stain of imperial
ui moralities and his mind is frequent in
giving forth utterance that command the
respect and indorsement of good men
and women everwhere In Christian
lands. Recently two of his sons were
confirmed in church relations and on
the occasion of the celebration the father
emperor addressed to them, among other
sage words, the following;
"Today you have.eo to speak, come of
age in your beliefs. I speak Intentional
ly in the military sense because I assume
that you aUo know the beautiful allegory
in which the Christian ia to be compar
ed to the warrior. You will, of course,
carry out what you have today so beau
tifully promised in your vows iu your
spiritual master. With justice yoa have
emphasized the fact that you intend to
be personages which, in my opinion, ia
the point which most concerns the
Christian in his daily life, for undoubt
edly we can say with comfort of the
Savior, that he was the most personal
personage who ever walked the earth
among men."
There li a great and profouud sermon
embodied In those words, the better
than whick we cannot recall from any
pulpit utterance of the present times,
To be "a personage'' is a magnificent
thought. In the sense that the kaiser
uses the term, "a personage" cannot be
little, mean and selfish man. The
model personage ia Christ and the high
est endeavor of any man who, aBpirea to
be a porsonage is to be like the divine
model. If the sous fully embrace this
doctrine of the father they will grow In
to personages ami as such be fit not only
to stand bef ire kings, but to sit in their
seats and to become notable earthly al
lies of "the King of the Kings."
Tbe Courier has added to its mailing
list this week one hundred and sixty-one
new subscribers. Don't laugh and don't
be amazed; as this is the literal truth as
the sigued orders for the Courier in this
office will demonstrate. Not all of these
subrc-ibers have paid their subscriptions
and many of them are for one month
and two and three months only and
therefore their names do not appear in
the roll of honor column. We want
every subscriber who has this week en
rolled himself on our mailing list as a
trial thirty,', ixty or ninety day subscrib
er to read the pa(.ei carefully and at the
end of the term forjwhich they have taken
the paper to renew for a full year. Over
seventy persons have paid their sub
scriptions for a full year this we?k. We
want to make it a hundred next week.
Won't you help us to do so. This issue
only lacks fifty papers of the 2000 mark
and we expect to pass the 200) mark by
next week. The people of Oregon City
and Clackamas county know a good
thing when they see it and believe in
taking bold of it.
Thanksgiving Turkey.
The Courier office and the home of
the editor of the Courier were made
glad by the presentation to this office by
Mayor Grant B. Diinick of a fine 15
pound turkey of this season's vintage.
The mayor has a way of finding out
what a fellow likes beat and then pass
ing it around to him. Here is to you,
Mr. Mayor. May you lire long and
prosper and receive all tbe good things
in life to .which you are entitled. ,

100 Beautiful and Choice lots for $100 a Lot
$10 Down and $10 Per Month, Without Interest
i '
Only a Small Monthly Paymen Secures an Ideal
Homesite in the Handsomest Spot in Oregon
It is not intended that the 100 lots shall be selected in out of the way places, or shall be of
inferior or even second quality, but in each instance the purchaser makes his or her own selection,
with only two reservations; the first four lots from the motor line are reserved, and a party only buy
ing one lot cannot select the corner lot.
Parties living at a distance can send their payments to me or to the Bank of Oregon City, and
it will be held until final payments are made, when a warranty deed will be promptly executed and
an abstract of title furnished, when required, showing a fee simple title in the purchaser free of all
incumbrances. V
Absolute good faith will be kept with all parties and the utmost effort will be made to please
and satisfy everyone .
To prove our faith in the future of Gladstone, we make this proposition to all pur
chasers: The Association, when final payments are made, will upon receiving 30 days
prior notice thereof, in case of dissatisfaction, pay back the entire purchase money, with
$25.00 additional. This will only apply to sales made before June 1st, 1904.
We feel that this is an entirely safe proposition, for in our candid judgment no lot will be sold
that is not worth double the money at the present moment.
Gladstone is on the O. W. P. Ry. Company's motor line, a short mile north of Oregon City.
Five cent fare to Oregon City and 15 cent fare to Portland . Elegant motor cars pass through the
property every thirty minutes, The Southern Pacific cars also pass through Gladstone.
When the J 00 lots are sold and paid for the Gladstone Real Estate Association will
give a check for One-Thousand Dollars to the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association,
provided the last of the hundred lots are sold by the end of the next annual assembly in
904, to be used for permanent improvements on its grounds at Gladstone Park.
