"The evil that men do lives after
them. The good is oft interred with
their bones."
Other men and other times may prop
erly weigh the worth to Oregon of her
distinguished statesman. This is not
the time.
WJien passing years have tempered a
popular wrath and when the deeds of
their leader of men, good and evil, have
taken their rightful place in history,
then let some pen, charitable and kind
ly, record the story of his eventful ca
reer. "There is so much good in the worst
of us,
And there is so much bad in the best
of us."

MUSHROOM BANKS.
Oregon has not suffered so much as
has the Middle, West and the South
west from the mushroom batik scourge.
Iler time may come, and on tho theory
that "an ounco of preventive is worth
a pound of cure" Jow is the time to
make those wreckers of homes and hap
piness a practical impossibility.
Aaron Cisco, an old and respected res
ident of Oswego, was last week com
mitted to the insano asylum. Some
years ago the failure of the. Portland
Savings Bank swept away tho consid
erable fortune of Mr. Cisco. No doubt
this man, when ho saw tho savings of
years of labor vanish in a day, stag
gered under tho terrible blow. No
doubt reason "tottered on its throne."
Now it has fallen.
This man is but one of thousands of
unfortunates, all victims of tho mush
room bank. The bank that is organized
by a sot of sleek adventurers. Thoy
rent a handsome corner. They equip it
richly with gilded fixtures and hand
some furniture. They place tho suavest
of their number behind tho counter and
open the door to the innocents. When
they have gathered in a sutticieiit sum
from n multitude of victims they buy
tho corner, look prosperous, and pro
ceed to gather in the bigger fish. Then
after a few years of wild speculation
of tho bank ollicers, wine, horses and
family extravagance, comes Iho ab
sconding cashier, crime, scandal and
tho closing of the doors of a wrecked
bank.
All this can be checked, and for tho
most part prevented by adequate state
banking laws. Jn this feature Oregon
is extremely delinquent. Such laws
would bo a help to honest banking and
welcomed by honest bankers, They
would be distasteful to tho pilfering
promoter nlono.
This state, growing steadily in popu
lation and wealth, will soon bo an in
viting field for the dishonest bank pro
moter. It is to bo hoped that our log
islaluro will consider tho situation and
take measures to protect the people at
this, tho proper time.
BOBS UP SERENELY.
That Milwaukio situation is a night
mare to W. W. Myers. His picture of
the gambling cur no is not overdrawn,
but it is a dillicult matter to see in
this an argument for socialism.
Of course, gambling is a form of com
petition. It may bo an example of the
competitive system in its worst form,
but individuality and tho Competitive
spirit is broil and born in man. No
school of politics, no philosophy or re
ligion can eradicate it. As well attempt
to. dissuade a boy from the love of a
gun or front fondnoss for mince pie.
Wo must deal with men as they are
and not as wo would have them. So
cialism conceives of infallible men iu a
theoretical world. This dream grow
ing out of a vivid imagination has no
reality iu history. Wouldn't it bo a
good idea to leave off this idlo dream
ing und devote, a well trained mind to
practical purposes! There is much to
do. Theorizing accomplishes nothing.
While tho wise ones were explaining tho
impossibilities of it, Hannibal led his
rrmy over the Alps. The time that is
spent in assailing "the system" could
well be utilized iu bringing about hot
ter conditions under tho only system
that ever has existed or ever will exist
- the competitive system.
ONE GOOD STEP.
Clackamas ('entity new has an north
cultural society. So far, so good, Tho
next thing is a representative nicmber
;iip. Let every man interested in the
, rowing of fruits fall iu line. Sign the
.oil. To those who are to become tho
ioneers in (lie movement it is a roll
i';' honor.
Next will be co-operation, mutual as
s'stance, in nseertaiuing the. most satis
factory methods of care and cultivation
;"id then united effort in securing a
market.
Hero is a splendid field for an unde
veloped industry. The acre of wheat
! .at nets live dollars to tho farmer will
-.''line day bring him a hundred dollars
in fruits or berries. In this lino Clack
amas County lands have wonderful pos
.dnlities. A horticultural society is the
l ist Btep.
HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
Do You Fear Consumption?
Wben we take into consideration
the fact that one of every seven in
this climate die of consumption, is it
any wonder that it is feared by the
people of Oregon City, who have
weak lungs and chronic colds and
coughs?
A famous Loudon physician has for
years urgod patients, wboii the slight
test tendency to consumption appeared,
to take the best cod liver oil prepara
tion they could find, and physicians
everywhere have recognized that the
cod's liver contains curative valuos
for coughs, colds, bronchitis, con
sumption and all wasting diseases un
equalled in medicine, but, fortu
nately, tew could take and dorive any
benefit from old fashioned cod liver
oil and emulsions on account of the
indigestible grease which they con
tain M-. Huntley, of the Huntley Eros.
Co. , our local druggists, says: "We
want every person iu Oregon City to
know the value of our ne w prepara
tion, Vinol. It actually contains in a
concentrated form all of the strength
ening body-building elements of ?od
liver oil actually taken Irom fresh
cod's liver, without a drop of oil or
grease to upset the stomach and retard
its work. ,
'Therefore where old- fashioned coir
liver oil or emulsions would do good,
Vinol will do far more good. We guar
antee Vinol will improve the appe
tite, strengthen digestion, make rich,
red blood, create strength, cure
chronic coughs aud colds and
strengthen weak lungs. If Vinol fails
to give satisfaction, we return your
money without question." Huntley
Bros. Co., Drugists.

ROSENSTEIN'S SALE.
Crowds of People Are Coming; in From
the Country to Oct Low Prices.
Rosenstoin's big sale has been on
two weeks and has been continued for
the benefit; of Clackamas county peo
ple who have been quick to take ad
vantage of the sacrifice in prices, Bar
gains at cost and less than cost is the
watohword and every sale brings an
other. Mr. Koseustoiu has certainly
broken the record (or immense slaugh
ter sales in Oregon City, and it has
been done through advertising. Note
his half-page advertisement in this
issue of the Courier and then jump in
your buggy and drive to town, for
such bargains will not last very long.
First come, first served, and early
comers will have a largor stock to
choose from.
Pirating Foley's Honey and.Tar.
Foley & Co , Chicago, orginnted
Honey and Tar as a throat and lung
remedy, and on account of tho great
merit and popularity of Foley's Honor
mid Tar many imitations are offered
tor the genuine. Those worthless im
itations have similar sounding names.
Beware of them. The genuine Foley's
lloney nml Jar is m a yellow pack
age. Ask for it and refuse any sulisdi
tuto. It is tho best remedy for coughs
and colds.

Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States.
Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, is an orator born. In
an article in The Outlook for July, 1899, by George Kennan, who heard Quesada
speak at the Esteban Theater, Mantanzas, Cuba, he said: "1 have seen many
audiences under the spell of eloquent spi-ech and itn the grip of strong emotional
excitement; but 1 have rarely witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada's
eulogy upon the dead patriot, Marti." In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Com
pany, written from Washington, D. C, Senor Quesada says:
"Peruna I can recommend as a very good medU
cine. It' is an excellent strengthening tonic, and it
is also an efficacious cure for the almost universal
complaint of catarrh." GonzaIo De Quesada.

the representatives of tho four associa
tions of the Pacific Coast. Matters per
taining to securing talent for next
year's assemblies were thoroughly dis

cured. Mr. Cross said that the weather

Mitchell.
John M. Gettrin was Wednesday
morning formally appointed United
States Senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Sonator John

believed by all who have ffiven the

selection meets general commendation
and the opinion is quite frequently
expressed that the new senator will be
of material aid in securing from con
