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. Price
Richard Heritage, commonly called
Dr. Dick Carl Moore
John Gordon, a Fugitive, Emil Gordon

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.
