OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1 5, 1904 The New Year. During elumber's qult cheer Ad unheeded watclt ia kept, 'Tie the end and beginning of year, With flving moments kleft. har leu thousand years or more Midet evil sense or good, Before heaven's open door The dial plate hath stood. With cherished memory sublime, I'ar reaching elements of power The gateway of unheeded time Opening at the midnight hour. Witli frosty pinions snupping Iiti ring weariness of light, While in infinite Bpaces shining Am the brilliant stars of night. Eridfmceof majstyand might. Midst misty darkness fraught, While in the open door ofrmyht Is Nature's fullness wraught. With angels of mercy striven, Measuring immi'nHity and birth, And the Lord's of host cr heaven btirring the pulseless earth. A alight mimicry of sound Quite uulike the lion's roar, While species of Nature abound Upon open sea and rocky shore. And me thinks 1 hear them near, Or ihe crackling of the lever. , ' f is the knell of a departed year, lione, gone from earth forever. Virtually lost to the human soul, Yet momentarily the watchers take A nilken thread from Nature's scroll For anocher seam to make. While millions scarcely know When the sillentstrok is made So 'ift the hours do piss and go During rush of life's parade. Still sweeping by unrestrained Are moments for strength or pleas ure, Busy world with wisdom framed the home of man forever. Sturdy changes beyond control, While winter bells doth chime, A stitch in Nature's roll To denignate the shift of time. Cheney. HOTSHOT AND OTHER THINGS. Nelsuii on Socialism, and in Support of a United Democacy. Mr. Editor Allow me to express my surprise at being bombarded by nearly a Cf! "ii in the Courier of the 8th iust. fi.. 'ho pen of W. W.Myers in defense of Hociulism. Judtffiig from the tenor of his article he must be laboring under a heavy load in imagination or in reality. Knowing the g 'litleman personally, I cannot think it is real, so must conclude it merely ex ists in the mind. - Thig being the case I can truly say that I' sympathize with him. Not being a' man who cares to pry into the affairs of my neighborhood yet, I have every reason to believe Mr. Myers is a well-to-do citizen possessing a good farm and other property. With all tli ib he is not satisfied. Now the answer to this question wi 1 be fliilllciHnt to answer another where he ackH for my idea of the cause Well, if he had studied his bible is thoroughly as ho has the ''Appeal y Reason" he v ' 1 have diecovorpd that, ' man that ho... )f u woman is of few days aud full of tiouhle," his Inclinations and affec tions heing of a selfish nature; which is the uatural condition of all mankind. It mutters not if you change our present system of 'government and establish Socialism, you will utterly tail to eradi cate that selfish principle we inherit by nature. This point ia so clear and self evident as to require no proof. Aain, can you hone to make a para dise of earth by establishing Social ism? Where would all the cor rupt Republicans aud a few Democratic conK'V'-imen be, if not in the Socialist party? r or one, I do not think it pru dent to keep one puny in power too I ng 1 Kitili;u'iinn only smile to see this di vision in our ell'orts.

At first they were disposed to forget and forgive upon tne general grand .that the President was impetuous and impatient of restraint, but when practically the same thing was repeatea in me cases oi oiuor nnpjmi menta they lost their tempers. And their feelings were not assuaged when they read in leading magazines and other periodicals stories of how the President had chastised haughty and presuming Senators.

The wedding bells were chiming during these merry times and the extreme cold of Eastern Oregon made the bells sound very fine. To our surprise Miss Izra Long a joined in matrimony to Mr. beorge Hurt. They are now making themselves happy on their homestead on the West Side of the Plains which is a lovely spot to spend their future days. The Plains would be better oil' with more such young men as Mr. Hurt is doing away with these old bachelors who are getting more numer ous than the coyotes.

He Is After Somebody, But We Can't Tell Who. To the Editor: In 'his friendly debate you seem te be afraid of losing your Pe dro. I have the trumps up my sleeve. You just play him and see if I don't catch him You seem to think all that is neces sary is. to turn the rascals out. You have not proved to me that a system that would make a rascal out of a Republican would not also make one out of a Demo crat or a Socialist. Your argument turn the rascals out is jit about as stale as the Republic in protective tariff cry higher the tariff higher the wages. If you will agree to remove the cause that makes rascals supercede the compe. tition system by ushering in the co-op-eia ive commonwealth, wa can join hands over the bloody etiasm. No, I don't believed all men dishonest, at times, hut I do say without truthful contradiction what makes one party cor rupt wilj also make others corrupt. A good doctor will invariable seek the cause of a contagious diseases and re move the same otherwise he would be accired of docioring tor revenue only. Nei her do I btlieve a corrupt system would make ail hunest men corrupt; neither would fever germs give all healthy men the fever but you Bhould admit the germs ought to be re moved for th i safety of the human fam. ily. What ia the Democratic idea of doing away with the trust t tio back to the di versified competitive system every man for cimself, the devil tikes the hindmost. We know the Republican idea stands pat with the trust. The So cialist say the government (the people) mustowu the trust. I am happy to read a letter from our old friend, win, Phil lips. He is one man I do not believe the dishonest germ would take a hold on, but his idea does not altogether agree ith Governor Chamberlain on the Pan ama question, if his speech at the ban quet was quoted right to me.
