SOCIALISM ON TRIAL
Molalla Man Suggests That Experiment Stations
Be Started.
MOLALLA, Or., Jan. 8. The So
cialist, agitation seems to have been
in suspense for some time because
no one lias "turned on the juice" on
tlie question he has been asking with
the exception of Molalla, and he says:
"It is seldom I take any notice of a
nom de plume. In the South we
think it cowardly to be personal un
der an assumed name."
We are surprised to see the writer
start out wrong end to in a manner
like that why, that is the way Ted-
ay seems to be doing the G. O. P
The difference between the writer on
Socialism and the Molalla correspond
ent, as we come in print is that he
, signs his name in full from "nowhere'
and my location is definite, at "Mo
lalla," with name on file at headauart-
ers, always ready to say to any man's
iace tne same as I would write in
"front of his back."
"Nom de plume" an assumed title,
or name aid the Molalla correspond
ent assume a name to the article in
' question? Anonymous without a
name would have better have ex-
. pressed the idea the writer evidently
had in view. There has been many
customs practiced in the South, no
doubt, that would not now be taken
at par at Molalla. Pick up any pa
per you wish and you will be im
pressed with the glaring fact that
many people take great delight in
seeing their pictures and names con
spicuously displayed in print while
other writers are contented to send
forth their ideas, allowing the readers
to draw their own conclusions, unin
fluenced by names which count for
little, outside of man worship.
The writer also objects to my ar
ticle on the "Law of public domain,
as he calls it: Well, he reminds me
of the boy who went through a large
orchard biting into all the sour and
wormy apples, then howling because
his teeth was on "edge" when he tried
to eat sweet apples. Either the writer
mistook the article or did not see it
expedient to expand on government
ownership of -public institutions
might as well took off on that lead as
the one he did.
1 was treating on the due process
of law, on taking private property for
public use, under the sovereign pow-
.' er of eminent domain. Our social
writer seems not to know of any such
power or law, either state or national;
let him refuse to pay his taxes, even
for one year, the operation of such a
power of eminent domain will take
effect on him at once. In matters of ar
bitration in settling damages and dis
putes the writer well knows, that it
is generally recognized, state national-
' ly and internationally, however, the
courts are the final judges as to
whether or not the due process of law
has been duly exercised as they are
the final judges of all the laws of our
land.
I do not wish to take the writer's
"oats" by the measurement at all. I
prefer to have them weighed in the
balance 'of justice; they look very
well, at a distance, but may prove to
be wild and beardy.
"Socialist argument, that the" en
vironment thrown around people that
-moulds sentiment, hence, if the con
ditions are bad the system must be
' changed before a change for better
can be obtained."
It seems that is what is the great
trouble with Teddy now, with most
people, he has been too abruptly
changing customs without precedent.
People will not bear a sudden change
from darkness to the arc light of per
fect intelligence, great changes in
time honored customs should be
wrought through education thus pre
paring the way, step by step, for re
ceiving them.' Now if Socialism is a
good system to live in we ought to
have it. How do we know it would
be good for Americans to colonize and
pommune together with all the di
versity of blood coursing through
their veins; because some foreign
countries are doing it in spots? Why
not act like Americans and take up
Socialism on trial by establishing ex
perimental stations; this every en
thusiastic Socialist can do, and it will
be more convincing argument than
volumes of words; let them do and
give us a -living sample of Socialism as
they would have it, by beginning right
end to. I would suggest: 1st, that
Socialists in each county in each of
the United States buy a section of
land or a smaller farm, and equip it
to their notion. 2d, that all of these
Socialistic virtues and resources be
set in action, throw around about all
the "sentimental environment" you
can bring to bear on these little colo
nies, let those that come in at the
eleventh hour receive in common
with those that have borne the heat
of the whole day. If that be one of
the doctrines of Socialists, let each
laborer receive the full' 'product of a
day's work, do unto your brother- as
you would have the government do
unto you. Settle all local disputes on
the experimental station; handle the
"drone" as well as the "hog" ques
tion; eliminate laziness and- selfish
ness in man, and do all that can be
accomplished for these model Social
ist communities under the law of the
present government. Whatsoever con
ditions Socialists would have the gov
. ernment adopt, or they would adopt
as a government. Plant the seed at
once on .the experimental home station.
The home is the foundation of any
. good government; here is where the
child should first learn to be subject
to the powers that be. Show to the
world that Socialism stand3 for good
wholesome home government,- di
vorce it from anarchy as far as pos
sible. We do not expect to go to
Teddy when we die, but it is our
opinion that these United States
never had a president that displayed
so much individuality and was so able
to lead on, "blaze out the trails" for
future generations, and use his "big
stick" on gigantic organizations that
have been stealing the people's land
and hard earnings. Roosevelt should
be praised, rather than condemned,
for adopting Wm. J. Bryan's good
things. This only proves him to be
a strong man, a learner, able to keep
in touch with his people. What a
pity this country could not have had
a 'demagogue" to swing the club on
our. corruptions many years ago.
We firmly believe that nine tenths
of the voters in the two old parties
have more or less thought of anarchy
every time the word Socialism is men
tioned; this apparent prejudice to the
social government, would be over
come by the experimental social
farms so numerously planted through-
nut the nation. There are many
"Missourians" that would like to be
"showed""-just how peaceful a littie
home government could be run with
out greed and selfishness. Then If
Socialism proved its inherent capa
bility to govern its own home with
out discord, it would have "environ
ment thrown around people that
would mould sentiment in favor of a
hotter general government.
I don't know the difference between
Teddy's and Bryan's political belie
and I voted for both, do you? Neither
do I know just what will be my views
next year; that depends on the light
I get in the meantime.

drive the farming class away from the
industry. The first statement is cer-
1 tainly in error in view of the decision
oi me circuit court in a recent case in
this county. The decision shows that
the law is not dead but was only sleep
ing. The condition of the orchards in
this valley has been growing steadily
worse until the point is now reached
where progressive people demand that
fruit growers that went to sleep before
the law was made be awakened from
their Rip Van Winkle slumber. As
to driving the farming class away
from the industry, why, those who do
not spray their trees are not near
enough to the Industry to have even
a speaking acquaintance with it and
hence could not be -driven from
point they have never occupied. The
position such growers occupy is that
of the dog in the manger they can
not produce good fruit and by their in
action prevent their neighbors from
producing It.
He says, "It seems to me that the
law was made to benefit a few and not
the masses of the people." Here
again he is evidently in error, as
diseased fruit the kind that can be
successfully grown without any effort
is surely a poor article of food. If
every grower sprayed his trees at
the proper season with proper mate
rials, good apples would be less ex-1
pensive than they are now but the
average pricer for the grower would
be better.
Mr. Fritch inclines to the belief
that pheasants and quails would de
stroy the fruit pests if they were not
kept busy dodging shot. These spec
ies of bords do not attack scale or
codlln moth but kinglets, chickadees
and warblers destroy great numbers
of scale. His statement that the
birds are a benefit to the farmer, and
should not be killed is a good one. The
value of the fruit eaten by a robin,
for instance, does not amount to one
per cent on the amount he saves to
the farmer in destroying pests.
farmer should protect the quails on
his farm as much as he would his
barnyard fowls for a quail in a single
season will eat more than his own
weight in weed seeds.

CLACKAMAS.
MINERS GO TO OGLE.
Trade of That District May Be Lost
For Want of Road.
Ten men left yesterday for the cold
ness of Ogle Mountain to resume work
in the mines after a pleasant stay of
nearly a month in this city and other
towns where their homes are. There
has been six miners at work for some
weeks and when full operation is
commenced about twenty men will be
employed. Dug Thorn and Mr. Smith
are now at the mines, and Al. Falr
clough, president of the company,
went out before the holidays.
Joe Harless, of Molalla, and George
Ogle came Wednesday from Ogle, and
report four feet of snow there, and
bitter cold. They came out of the
district to Gates on the Corvallis &
Eastern Railroad and took train from
there to Albany. Mr. Harless Btates
that indications point to Gates as the
shipping and distributing center of
the mining district as people of that
locality have undertaken to raise mon
ey to put a road through. It is very
probable that this city and county will
lose the trade of the mines, which is
constantly increasing, through failure
to spend not more than 1600 to cut a
road through.
REPLIES TO MR. FRITCH.

Dead But Sleepeth.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 8. (Editor of
the Courier.) In last week's issue of
the Courier, was an article by W. H.
Fritch advocating that a weekly paper
devoted to the interests of fruit grow
ing be published by the Agricultural
College" and sent to every landholder
In the state to the end that people
may become interested in fruit grow
ing. It is hardly to be supposed that
Mr. Fritch meant that his article
should be taken literally for the Agri
cultural College and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are already pre
paring bulletins as rapidly as the re
sult of their investigation warrant and
are sending such publications free to
all who request them. There are al
so a number of excellent papers, two
of which are printed in our own state,
that deal with this same subject, so
it would seem that all who really de
sire information can get it

POMONA MEETS
WITH GARFIELD
Resolution Passed Favoring
Amendments to the
- Election Laws.
Clackamas District Pomona Grange
met with Garfield Grange Wednesday.
The report of the Granges shows an
Increased interest in Grange work.
The following resolutions were
thoroughly discussed and adopted;
Favoring the power of recall, or
imperative mandate.
To abolish the privilege of register
ing at the polls for the purpose of
rendering it more difficult to cast
fraudulent votes at elections and
thereby prevent the repetition of the
disgraceful frauds of Sellwood elec
tions of last year. If these nersnns
cannot be punished for illegal voting
there is no use to have election laws
or in fact to hold elections.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, ' great frauds and wrong
have been made by the use of affi
davits signed by six freeholders as
used at present on the day of election,
and
Whereas, these frauds have been
plainly proven at Sellwood, and open
ly charged at Rainier, Hood River and
other points in Oregon, be it
Resolved, by the Clackamas District
Pomona Grange, that we favor making
registration a necessary qualification
of voting, and that we favor the re
peal of the clause of our election laws
allowing citizens to vote by affidavit,
subscribed to by six freeholders.
In approval of the People's Lobby"
as organized under the management
of the Success Magazine.
In favor of the employment of con
victs in public road building whenever
practicable.
In favor of the repeal of the Tuttle
road law.

Beagle Hound From Over the
Water.
A. J. Surbar, proprietor of the Pal
ace saloon, has added to his menageri

and various beasts of the forest a fine
English Beagle Hound. The shapely
thoroughbred is Just over from Liver
pool, England, where he was bred and
registered with the full bloods of the
dog aristocracy. Though he came as
a steerage passenger his ticket across
the pond cost Mr. Surbur 49 silver
dollars a handsome sum for an eigh
teen months old youngster weighing
but 35 pounds.
It was a pair of such dogs that trac
ed outlaw Frank Smith to his last re
treat. They know no fear and will
follow a scent day and night until they
are taken off by their master. Mr.
Surbur has already been called on to
go to Sheriff Beetle's Beaver Creek
