representing various and conflicting
economic ideas: also contlicting ln-
terests; and incidentally dealing with
values to the extent of thousands, per
haps millions of dollars. The voters
are now the law-makers. Do they
realize their power? Also that with
power comes responsibility? Will
they rlso to the occasion? It is the
test, of democracy; a milestone in the
history of self government. Already
tho complaint is heard that there are
too many question for the voters to
do justice to, but compare it with
tho work expected of the legislature.
Here we have nineteen or twenty
questions to be acted upon within
sixty days' time in which to study
them, w'hllo In the legislature four
or five hundred bill are introduced to
be acted on in forty days! In the
first ease an average is thus struck
of three days to consider one measure;
in tho latter, ten or twelve measures
In one day. Does any one seriously
believe that the capacity of the av-
lorage legislator exceeds that of the
average voter to any such uegree
las this? Uut it Is argued that the
I average voter will not study. A few
J) will not, but I believe the majority
J -will; If not they must suffer the con
sequences, politically wo are uie
f) architects of our own fortunes. Col
V lectively wo get as good a govern
ment as we deserve or deslro. e
can't seize power and leave the re
sponsibility with the other fellow.
The pamphlet sent out by the Secre
tary of State containing text of all
measures, with arguments on some,
will be an immense advantage, but
on some measures no argument is in
cluded, on some only one side is pre
sented, and, even where tho full al
lowance of space Is utilized by both
shies, the. arguments are neiv&sarily
partisan. Hut these arguments will
suggest questions and lead to further
investigation and discussion. The
Grange can consider these non-parti-sun
political questions without vio
lating uny of their organic principles,
hut tho meetings are usually but once
a mouth; tho allowance of time that
could be spared from routino work Is
limited, and lastly probably not more
than one-third of the grangers are
voters, therefore not naturally so apt
to bo interested. And at best the
Grange could reach but a part of the
voters.
Here is a suggestion:
Why not form "Political Study
Clubs," "Good Government Leagues,"
or whatever you please to call them,
in every precinct or school district,
to study and discuss these various
measures? Meetings could he held
weekly; no dues would be necessary
as very small collections would defray
expenses of light, wood and hall rent.
In this way a much more Intelligent
decision could be arrived at than by
merely listening to the arguments cf
some candidate or Imported speaker,
perhaps vitally interested personality
in some particular measure. Certain
ly it would be well to hear the "big
gnu,' the imported speaker too, but
merely as a stimulator of thought and
study, not as final authority, for no
one embodies the sum total of human
wisdom and by taking counsel with
one another facts will be brought to
the surface that it would be almost
Impossible for one person, no matter
how studious and unprejudiced, to
dig out single-handed. For instance,
it is extremely difficult for one born
and raised in the Willamette Valley
to arrive at a satisfactory decision as
to the merits of the two conflicting
bills, or the movement to create a
new county (Hood) out of a part of
Wasco. But in almost every neigh
borhood can be found one or more
persons who have, at some time of
their lives, lived In Wasco county, or
have fished In the upper or lower
Columbia; parties who are acquainted
with local conditions and are much
more likely to be disinterested than
the newspaper advocates or oppo
nents of either measure. Again, as
an ounce of fact Is worth a pound of
theory, and the final test of any in
vention or Innovation, mechanical or
economic Is "Will it Work," we take
the equal suffrage or the single tax
amendments and there is usually
some immigrant around from Colo
rado, Idaho, Wyoming or Utah, who
can give the testimony of an eye-witness
as to the practical working of
equal suffrage In these states. Or it
may chance that some one in the com
munity has lived in New Zealand or
Manitoba and can tell of the effects
of the exemption of improvements tnx.
Certainly some such organization as
here suggested, If carried out would
embody more of the collective wisdom
of the state In the final result than
it would be possible to obtain through
a legislature, however well-meaning
they might bo. Few if any of these
measures are partisan, and no requi
site is needed save that each accord
to his neighbor that credit for hon
esty of opinion which he demands for
himself; to accept the maxim of the
great pagan philosopher, the emperor
Marcus Aurellus, "If any man is able
to convince mo or show me that 1
do not think right, I will gladly change
for I seek the truth, by which no man
was ever Injured." And, If the voters
come together in that spirit, no lover
of Justice need fear the result.

George Knight, a Prominent Pioneer,
Passes Away at Can by.
George Knight, who was widely
known throughout Clackamas county,
died at his home in Canby Saturday
morning. Mr. Knight's death was
caused by heart disease. He was a
pioneer of Oregon, and was elected to
the legislature on the Republican tick
et in 1898, and also served as rail

for many years. He was born in Al
legheny county, Pennsylvania, June
17, 1841. Mr. Knight came to Ore
gon in 18C3 by ox team across the
plains and settled at Willapa, Wash.,
and after living there for two years,
came to Oregon, where he has since
made his home. He was married in
1876 to Miss Anna May Carothers,
who with three children survive him,
and are Mrs. Clyde Evans, of Port
land; Mrs. W. H. Blair and Ralph
Knight, of Canby. The funeral ser
vices were held on Monday after

member, and the funeral was one of
the largest attended in that part of
the country for many years.

at the meeting of Harding Grange on

There was the usual reading, music,
etc., during the lecturer's hour, and in
original work, Wru. Stone, Jr., gave
an address on Abraham Lincoln, and
O. P. Robblns read an essay on the
subject of fleas. Mr. Stone's address
showed thorough knowledge of his
subject and a high appreciation of
Lincoln's character and attainments.
In discussing Statement No. 1, all
the speakers agreed that it is not a
partisan measure. Sentiment seem
ed to be strong against the land tax
measure though two speakers upheld
the principle of It, while not expect
ing it to pass.
Portland Furniture Company Gives
Oregon City Man Contract.
G. F. GIbbs and son, Courtney, are
putting in a new sawmill at Beaver

the plant to be erected in the midst
of a fine body of timber. Mr. Gibbs
has taken the contract to get out
lumber for a Portland furniture house,
and most of the timber is of ash,
which is used a great deal for the
mission furniture now being made.
Rheumatic Pains Relieved.
Mr. Thos. Steaton, postmaster of
Pontypool, Ont., writes: "For the
past eight years I suffered from rheu
matic pains, and during that time I
used many different liniments and
remedies for the cure of rheumatism.
Last summer I procured a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and got more
relief from it than anything I have
ever used, and cheerfully recommend
this liniment to all sufferers from
rheumatic pains." For sale by Hunt
ley Bros., Oregon City and Molalla.
To relieve the worst forms of Rheu
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla,
three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking them
well in a bottle. Relief is generally
felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a well-
known authority In a Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged-up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the uoisonous waste
matter and uric acid which causes
Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple rec
ipe will no doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferers here at home, who
should at oncfe prepare the mixture
to get this relief.
It is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily, ore even a few
times a week, would never have se
rious Kidney or Urinary disorders or
Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready for use, if any one of
our readers so prefer.

EVERY fruit grower will appreciate the advantages of a prun
ing shears that has a double cutting edge, as all the pruning shears
heretofore on the market have had only one cutlng edge, and the
other edge being dull would bruise and peel the bark from the
limb and injure it so it would not heal up smoothly, but the Rhodes
Pruning Shears having a double cutting edge, cuts from both sides
of the limb and does not bruise the bark, but leaves a clean, smooth
cut that heals up rapidly.
All previous attempts to make a double cutting pruning shears
have been failures, as the shear blades would draw together and cut
themselves; but with the Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears this
difficulty has been overcome by the overlapping points, as you will
notice by the cuts that the points of the Rhodes Shears pass by each
other before the shears cuts into the limb far enough to draw the
blades, and it is impossible for the blades to dra wtoegther them
selves after the points pass each other.
The Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears are finely finished and
are made from the best quality of material. The Bhear blades are
forged from tool steel and are carefully ground and tempered. The
handles are maple. The ferrules are of wrought iron four Inches
long, with an extra ferrule one inch long on the end. There is a
rivet put through the ferrule, handle and shank of the shears which
keeps the ferrule and shears from coming loose from the handle.
Blades of Wood Handle Pruners are the same size for all lengths.
