OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1904 W. W. Myers Takes a Crack at Mr. Nelson and Cther People. He Believes That All Men Are Honest But Will Steal a little at Times. The following letter from W.W.Myers, the Socialist leader of Clackamas county, finds its way to our desk and we publish it ior what it is worth. Mr. Myers has a cousiderable following and there are a good many Socialist in the county who believe in his doctrine?. While the "Courier" does not emlorte all that the gentleman says we believe be is right in some respects and if lie will join bauds with the Democrats next BUtn mer we will turn me ra caU out. "Mr. Nelson assumes that ihe Repub licans are rascals and the administra tion is very corrupt He failtd to give us :ne reason and ci'e the cause now. I don't think the Republicans are more con not than the Democrats or the Demo crate are more corrupt than the Social ist. 1 know some Republicans that are very bad men and have seen Democrats that were not angels, also lime, seen Socialists who did not have wing. There must be a cause. Tliij is the trutri we must seek now. In your next pleahe give us "your idea of the cause. Next you speak of the fundamental principles of Democracy. This we will cot object . to because the Socialists claim to be the only party that is tryinst to carry theBe principle': l.to efftct. Now as to the policies of the Democratic party. Do you claim thev are in keep, ing with the principles? If so, you can point with pride to st. LouiB, Saginaw, Michigan. Tammany Hall, Child Labor in the Smith and many other places too OUhierous to uieuwivu. vuco uiuie i. will mention after adopting a platform dec-1; rim; for free coinage of silver elect ing president and both branches of the ley: ve department. Did they carry it on' ? v i'l you answer? Next ynu say thai Socialist deman !s. We surrender our individuality. Let's see, I suppose you mean we restrict the individual to do c nam things be has a right to do uoi i i this capiiative system. What are the.v ? Fi'hl.we demand that the labor or pro Un or has the right to the full pro duct i f his toil. Sicund, what the people collectively nee'i itey shall collectively own what ire' "vlduals need We shall individ ual! own, thereby doing away with the exploiter, usury, rrut and profit. 1 uiUHt say that the article in the Courier on the parcel post does not al together agree with with you. Democ racy, wherein it says when public .wel fare conflicts with private interest. The latter has, and always will have to give away. This comes very near our de mands doesn't it? I would like to ask you where you are going to draw the dead line on individ ual! y? The horse thief, gambler, hobo, high wayman, confidence mail, exploiter, UBei , landlord and men that live off the toils of others object to the public wel fare interfering with their individual liberty here is one I clipped from the Ap peal : 1)0 YOU CATCH ON?

The adherents of President Roosevelt are takin great comfort to themselves from the ffict that there is no candidate openly in the field against him. This is intruih a more dangerous condition thau if the Republican opposition to Roosevelt were united upon a known candidate whose strength coal J be rea sonably estimated. It is the unexpected that frequently happens in the best re gulated national conventions. Garfield was not a candidate for President in 1880, arid yet be carried off the prize from b th Urant and tiiauio rout arm Pierce were hardly dreamed of as Demo cratic candidates ior the Presidency un. til they were nominated. The adher ents of Rooeevelt are Hghtii'g in the dark against an invisi le but portentous five in the arowiou conviction of ihe Re. publicans of the country that the hero of f anama can never ne eiecteo rresiuent. Bv the meeting of the Republican National Convention events in their rapid progress may have this convic tion so formidable that nothing will re main but to uivw it embodiment in the choice ol a candidate, whether he be Hanna, Fairbanks or Spooner. From all appearances Spooner's would be a name to conjure with in the next Re publican National Convention. POLITICAL SITUATION. Of tbe Republicans in New York State is Desperate. New York Evening Post. Extracting sunshine from cucumbers is easier than extracting comfort for the Republicans from the New York State vote of last November. The State Com mittee, however, is equal to the task. Taking the votes for Assemblymen out hide of Greater New 1'ork, and the vote for Mayor in this metropolitan district, it Amis a plurality of 2ti 547, and con eludes, "The showing is flattering to Republicans pros', ects next year." The flattery lies iu assuming that "up-state counties can be relied upon, it is believ ed, to increase materially tbe majorities whii b they gave last November." Ex actly who holds this pleasing belief is not revealed: certainly not the members of the committee ".certainly not the Trib une, which displays the statement. These eminent political authorities know that through the the ap.stale vote will lie heavier, tne Democrats are more than likely to beat it by swinging into line thouaands of tiieir party who have been supporting fusion here In brief, the figure! compiled by the Republican committee are prima facie evidence that the situation in this state is desperate. To overcome thesu heavy odds the Re publicans are bnsy quarieliug over the leadership and the distribution of pat ronage. Plaving chess when the house is on lire is wisdom compared with Buch a performance. Congratulations. Mr John II. Cullom, editor of tbe Gailand, Texas, News, has written a let to i of congratulations to the manufac turers of 'Chamberlain'! Cough Remedy as follows : "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby be was euoject to croupy Bpells ana we would be very un easy about him . We bejran using Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, in 1886, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it in the house since that time. Wu have five children and have giveu it lo all of them with good results. One goo.i feature of this reme.ly is that it is not disagreeable to lake and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no tisk from giving an overdose. I congratulate you upon the bucccbs of your remeily." fcir sale by Geo. A.

It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
