LET THE COURTS DETERMINE.
The first thing that comes to the
mind of the Italian, when offended, is
his long bladed knife. An element of
our American citizenship, with as lt
tle reason, when displeased with the
methods of any business enterprise,
thinks first of the boycott. Both are
the weapons of cowards in warfare.
Neither was ever the means of ac
complishing a worthy purpose and it
happens, not by chance, but accord
ing to nature's logical association,
that the wlelder of the long knife
and the champion of the boycott are
built upon the same narrow, unreason
ing plan.
So It is no wonder that there are
many to cry "boycott" when a tele
phone company has recourse to the
courts to contest the legality of the
income tax.
This is not to say that the income
tax is improper or an unwise measure.
It is a most equitable means of rais
ing revenue. The Income tax and the
inheritance tax are to be Important
factors in our taxation system. In fact,
a large part of the expense of govern
ment will, in time be met In this way.
But what man of well balanced
Judgment is going to criticise an In
dividual or a corporation for declin
ing to part with property otherwise
than In accordance with the law. The
telephone company contends that the
law imposing the tax Is not in accord
ance with our constitution. Have we
not provided courts to settle just such
questions as this? Are we unwilling
that our Courts determine the rights
of our citizens? Their judgment is
more reliable than that of the element
that shouts boycott. And we do not
want our code encumbered with pages
that are not In accord with our funda
mental law the constitution. By all
means let us welcome the determina
tion of the legality of our legislative
enactments. If we are unwilling to
do this let us openly declare for an
archy. For open anarchy Is prefer-
., able to a pretended submission to the
law of the land.
As to the particular case in point
the officers of the corporation would
be remiss in their duty should they
yield up any property of the corpora
tion that they bellved was exacted Il
legally. These officials have in their
care the property of many stockhold
ers. It is their duty to give this prop
erty all the protection the law affords.
Falrmimled men will deprecate this
cry of "boycott" at the same time
hoping, for the most part, that the
courta will find the Income tax a mea
sure within the constitution and law
ful. A SPLENDID EFFORT.
The County Fair was a success far
beyond the expectation of its most
enthusiastic supporters. Only a few
localities were represented. But lit
tle time was had for preparation. It
was Just a beginning, but think what a
great institution will Burely grow out
of such a splendid beginning. Another
year and room will hardly be found
for the many exhibits and the great
crowds in attendance.
After all how could a county of so
great and varied resources fall to
.make a creditable showing. Add to
this the management tha "knew how"
and the exhibitors that were proud to
Bhow what old Clackamas could do,
and we can understand why we heard
on every side "A splendid effort."
Keep your eye on this institution. It
is going to be the pride of the State
of Oregon.
Secretay Strauus, of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, has come out
strongly for tariff devlslon. This is
something from an administration that
has been noted chiefly for Its stand
pat-Ism. But Secretary Straus Is in a
deoartment where he sees tne practi
cal side of the question and the fact
that he has been converted to revision
ought to go a good way in satisfying
other members of the same party that
if we are to continue our commercial
expansion, we must have something in
the way of reciprocity and reduction
to offer other countries in exchange
for their good will.
Senator Piatt accuses Governor
Hushes of organizing a now political
machine in New York. Perahps it
would be more correct to charge him
with putting sand In the bearings of
the old one.

MR. PAGET SUSPECTS.
Emphasizes a Conspicuous Habit of
the Republican Party.
OAK GROVE, Oregon, October 15.
(Editor Oegon City Courier.) During
a year's residence In Clackamas coun
ty I have found my friend Grant B.
Dlmlck. the county judge, a most ac
commodating official, ever alert to the
material Interests of the people in an
sections of the county, and am there
fore disappointed to discover today a
characteristic I had not hitherto ob
served.
In its account of the Canby tragedy,
resulting in the death of a 15-year-old
bov whilst drunk, the Oregonlon says
"The case has aroused Intense Indig
nation in this section of Clackamas
county, and the authorities will make
a vigorous effort to prosecute the of
fenders (who are editorially described
bv the Oreeonlan as 'malefactors')
who violate law by selling liquor to
minors.
We also read the startling announce
ment that the county Judge, before
whom these "malefactors" are to be
given tholr preliminary hearing, de
posited his personal check for $100.00
to guarantee the appearance of one of
them.
I would like to ask Judge Dimlck if
It Is not fair to suspect that his deci
sion in thts case might possibly be
Influenced by his evident personal
friendship for the bar-keeper and alleg
ed criminal he Is assisting.
I would also like to emphasize this
conspicuous illustration of the habit
which the Republican Party has of de
lighting to honor those who are In
sympathy with the disreputable liquor
traffic and those engaged In it.
Yours respectfully,
L. B. LEE PAGET.
ANSWERS B. LEE PAGET.
Grant B. Dlmlck Gives Reasons for
Arranging Defendant's Bail.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 1C (To
the Editor of The Courier.) In perus
in the columns of your valuable pa
per I noticed an article written by B
Lee Paget, of Oak Grove, in which he
seems to think that I committed a
wrong in making a deposit of $100 In
order to secure the presence of the
defendant Jesse In the liquor case
which will be tried before me as a
committing magistrate on October 17,
1907.
It la true that I gave the Sheriff a
check for $100, but for the following
reason; For the past 12 years I have
transacted legal business for Mr. Jes
se, who Is a farmer living near Bar
low In this county, and now I have In
my possession moneys and chattels
belonging to Mr. Jesse, and when he
was charged with a complaint, with
other defendants, for selling liquor to
minors, I admitted each of them to
hail in the sum of $200 bond bail, or
$100 cash, and as the defendant Jesse
did not have his $100 cash, or anyone
at hand to sign a bond, I advanced Mr,
Jesse the sum of $100 to deposit with
the Sheriff, which sura belongs to the
defendant and not to me.
I am unable to detorraine to my own
satisfaction where any wrong was
committed by so doing. Every man
who is brought Into my court, whether
he be a laboring man, farmer, doctor
or lawyer, will receive fair treatment
and one will not be acordod any great
er consideration than the other. I
have always known Mr. Jesse as a
farmer and never knew that be was
engaged In any other business until
he was arraigned before me as
committing magistrate.
Mr. Paget says further, " I would
like to ask Judge Dlmlck Is It is not
fair to suspect that his decision in this
case might possibly be Influenced by
his evident personal friendship for
the barkeeper and alleged criminal he
Is assisting?"
I will answer Mr. Paget by saying
that all of my action in the County
Court in admitting the defendants to
ball and turning over to defendant
Jesse the $100 which belonged to him,
was done openly and in the presence
of the Sheriff and several other cltl
zons, and I had nothing to conceal at
that time, nor have I anything to con
ceal at present.
During the preliminary hearing
which will take place October 17, no
one of the defendants will receive any
favors by reason of former business
rotations nor will any of them re-
rolvo any consideration other than
that which they are justly entitled to
under the law governing such cases
It has not been the policy of court
In Clackamas County to treat a de
fondant as guilty or adjudge him
guilty until after the preliminary hear
ing or a trial, for reason that under
the law every defendant Is presumed
to be Innocent until the contrary is
proved, and in the case which will be
heard tomorrow, the evidence will be
produced which will doclde the ques
Hon of guilt or Innocence as far as
the preliminary examination Is con-
corned.
I am not connected with, nor am I
an attorney for any saloonkeeper or
liquor house in Clackamas County,
nor am I Interested In any manner In
the welfare of any of the defendants,
If they are guilty of the crime charged
they should he punished, and there Is
no good citizen In Clackamas County
who would uphold a saloon man In
dispensing liquor to minors In direct
violation of the state law. There I
no renson why Mr. Paget should break
loose in one one of his common char
acteristic eruptions, unless it was for
advertising purposes. Ho says that
he has lived in Clackamas County for
more than a year and during that time
wo know that he has traveled on the
electric cars from his home to Port
land and returned each day, and dur
ing that time he has passed along by
the Bide of the famous Milwaukle
gambling resort running In direct op
position to the state law, but at no

Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem-
adv. It has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kldDoys sor-
yice at a time wnen tney were no aoie
to bear their own burdens.
time have I noticed where that good
and faithful Clackamas County citi
zen has ever aoeared before a grand
Jury or the District Attorney asking
for accomplaint against tne onenoers,
but has constantly gone on In his
peaceful manner during this long per
iod of time, and under those circum
stances I seriously object to being
criticised for returning to a man the
sum of $100, so that he might use It to
deposit with the Sheriff of Clackamas
County to insure his presence at the
preliminary hearing.
I will state further that prior to
readlne Mr. Facet's letter I had noti
fied Mr. Gardner, of the Boys' and
Girls Aid Society of Portland, re
questing his presence at the prelimin
ary hearing, so if the evidence pro
duced at the preliminary hearing goes
to show that the young boys at Canby
are receiving liquor, their interests
may be looked after in the proper
channel.
If Mr. Paget will kindly look aftetr
the violation of the law in his end of
the county, I am quite certain that the
good people of Canby will look after
the violation of the law in that sec
tion of Clackamas County. Yours re
spectfully, GRANT B. DIMICK.

How to Cure a Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold
without unnecessary loss of time is
one in which we are all more or less
Interested, for the quicker a cold is
gotten rid of the less the danger of
pneumonia and other serious diseases.
Mr. B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, W. Va.,
has used Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy for years and says: "I firmly be
lieve Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
be absolutely the best preparation on
the market for colds. I have recom
mended it to my friends and they -all
agree wth me." For sale by Huntley
