OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, MAY 29 190 Fay Of Clackamas County... . P Do 3'ou know who gets the benefit of the Saloon license money? This money is used exclusively in the cities and towns where the saloon is licensed. Do you know where the bulk of the crime of Clackamas county is produced? The court records show that it is produced in those places where the saloon exists. Bear this in mind, namely, that the County does not get one cent of the Saloon Licence money. Who then pays for the prosecution-of the crime produced by the licensed liquor saloon? The Clackamas County Tax-payer pays it.. Not one cent of the saloon license money is used to prosacute the crime which the saloon business produces. Since your tax money pays for the prosecution of crime, and the bulk of crime is caused by li quor, isn't it your privilege of saying whether sa loons shall or shall not exist in Clacka mas County no matter how far or near from saloon centers you may live. Why not remove the crime producers in Clack amas county, namely the licensed liquor saloon and reduce our taxes or apply our good and hard earned tax money in legitimate channels. Is the licensed saloon a benefit to Clackamas County tax payers? NO! NO!i NO!!! Therefore 1 let us vote it out JUNE J, 908 The Saloon in Our County is Not Paying Investment. GOOD DRAMA AT SHIVELY'S LOCAL TALENT UNDER DIREC TION OF A. A. PRICE PRODUCE DRAMA. GOOD CAST OF CHARACTERS Drama Is Presented At Shively's Op era House By Local Talent. The drama, "Finger of Scorn' pre sented at the Shively Opera House on Wednesday evening, under the man agement of A. A. Price of this city, was one of the most successful local talent entertainments given In .this city for many years. Mr. Price pre sented this play at The Dalles several years ago, where it met with success, as it did in this, city Wednesday night, and Mr. Price deserves great praise in the manner he and his company presented it before an Oregon City audience. Early part of the week seats sold readily, and It was an as sured fact that the local people would have a full house to greet them on their first appearance. Long before the raise of the curtain every seat in the house was taken, and the pro ceeds, which amounted to a large sum, will assist materially In the pur chasing of new uniforms for the Ore gon City band, the play being given for the benefit of that organization. The band furnished music for the oc casion, and under the leadership of Mr. Cyr, proved to be a great feature of the entertainment. Each character was well sustained, the various young people taking their part In a most creditable manner, and deserve individual mention, pleasing the audience to a person. It may be summed up by reiterating that it was the best ever given in this city and we append the cast of characters showing the talented actors and act resses In their respective roles: Rev. Philip Dunchester, Rector of St Marks Philip J. Sinnott Norman Weir, his college friend, A Detective Albert A.

Quite a large crowd went to see the ball game Sunday on the new ball grounds, which Mr. Steudeman was kind enough to donate for the season.

Mr. Swift's right of way man has been working through here. With a few exceptions, the farmers are giving tho right of way freely. Mr. Swift was here last Saturday looking over the ground, and was pleased with the looks of tilings. He also made arrangements for depot grounds while here, Schmidt Bros, are moving their live stock from their farm in inn county lo the home farm, their lease having expired on the former place. A large audience gathered at the Presbyterian Church Sabbath morn ing to observe Mothers Day. While flowers were in evidence everywhere. On entering the church each mother received a white carnation which wa3 given to typify Mother Love, its color standing for purity; its flower, beauty; its lragiauce, love. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Landsborough, took three pas sagos of scripture as suitable for the occasion, "Forsake not the law of thy mother," "The law of kindness is on her tongue," "Her children rise up and call her blessed." The pastor said in part: "We observe this day in this par ticular way having In mind three spe cial objects; namely: To brighten the lives of our mothers and to make them more honcred, loved and protected by their children. To remind busy, suc cessful men and women of the un selfish devotion of their mothers. To ask men, women and children to make their mothers feel this May Day that In her children's hearts she is '"Queen of the May.' All of these objects must appeal to every true-hearted, loving man and woman. Sometimes mothers long for thoughtful expres sion of their children's love. That love may be there in large measure, but sometimes it remains unexpress ed. Every man, woman and child, who feels that he has the best mother that ever lived should find pleasure In giving expression to that love. There are different ways of express ing affection and one way which would be . greatly appreciated by mother would be to let her know that you have not forsaken her law, the law you learned from her lips when a child by the old fire side. For your own sake you cannot afford to for sake mother's law. Nor can yon af ford to forsake your mother's Bible, its beautiful stories she told you as you sat on her knee are worthy of a place In your memory still. What she knew about God she learned from the Bible. She was converted by it and lived by it, and if she is gone, died by it. Never forsake mother's Bible. A mother's precept and example are of inestimable value. Let that be im pressed upon mothers who are caring for small children. You are imprint ing upon your children impressions which will remain through life. The habits of childhood are likely to be the habits of maturity. A mother's business is to write upon the minds and hearts of her children lessons they will never forget. How grand for a mother In her old age to see that the Impressions she made on her children have been lasting, to see the maturing harvest of the seed sown in her children's hearts." Mr. Landsborough closed .by refer ring to the mother's charge in The Bonnie Brier Bush, "I canna see ye noo, John, but I know yir there, 'an I've just one other wish. If God calls ye to the ministry, ye'll no refuse, an' the first day ye preach In yir ain kirk, speak a gude word for Jesus Christ, an' John, I'll hear ye that day, though ye'll no see me, and I'll be satisfied." Always teach your children to be loy al to Jesus Christ, to speak a- good word for him, then God will be satis fled with your work and pleased with your children. $ !) to Teazel Creek.
