BOOSTER DAY.
Knock and the World Knocks with
you,
Boost, and rou boost alone;
And the busy-body '11 have nothing
to do,
When the spirit of progress Is gone.
There's going to be a big day In
town next Saturday. A portly gentle
man conceived the Idea, of getting the
merchants to chip In and mane up a
little fund to defray the expenses of
an all round good time. The busi
ness men who usually bear the brunt
of these gratuitous undertaking
came to the front It probably
would not be fair to say that those
who hung back were all of them lack
ing in the go-ahead spirit. Borne wno
did not feel like contributing had
good and sufficient reasons of their
own and some, no doubt, had legiti
mate and satisfactory reasons. But
those who stood out realizing that
they would -reap the eame benefit
from the enterprise at their liberal
neighbors expense and at the same
time save a few dollars contribution
those who look greedily forward to
the day that they will reap what oth
ers have sown, they are the fellows
who should be passed up "like a white
chip," as the saying goes.
There are a few of this latter claas
doing business in Oregon City. It
is coming time that they should un
derstand that the very "tight" fellow
is a load for the community to carry,
a damper on its progress, and If they
don't choose to "get in the game" the
community by keeping severely aloof
from them should give them a hint to
move on. There are plenty of fellows
with push and enterprise who would
take the places of these drones, would
they but get out of the way. Every
locality, no doubt, must be Infested
by Its leaches and vampires. There
Is no explanation of the necessity of
their presence, not more than there
is any accounting for the presence of
vermin and rattlesnakes on earth,
We simply find them all a part of the
terrestrial habitation and they exist
because we do not take sufficient
pains to rid the earth of them.
We have said that a man's failure
to subscribe to any particular enter
prise does not classify him as one ol
the mill stones on the community's
neck. But let us also suggest that
the public carefully avoid the fellow
who la well known to take no part in
any of the functions or public enter
prises that have for their object the
up-bullding of the community. Let the
follow who lives so absolutely for
self live entirely unto himself. Fnally
he will leave and If a Jap or China
man takes his place It will be better
filled.
ready gone. No one knows better
than Uncle Joe the calamity that will
befall the' country and the rout that
will befall the party if there should
be another financial panic during the
presidential campaign.
During the Congressional vacation
last summer, Speaker Cannon said:
"I would rather contribute to the suc
cess of the next session of Congress
than to have the Presidency offered
me on a golden plate." Everybody In
Congress and out knows that the test
of success must be In the passage of
a currency bill and that the failure to
pass it will hang like a pall over the
Republican party tnrougnoui me mm
lnor camnalKn.
It will be a matter of sincere regret
to every friend of reform that a diij
enforcing publicity In all expenditures
for political purposes was not enact
nrt at this session of Congress. The
bill presented by Representative Mc
Call was reasonable, simple and un
doiilitedlv within the power of Con
gress. There could be no objection
to it. There was none. But there was
a feeline that the passage of such
bill might Interfere with political
plans, prospects and expenditures
The Darty in nower had not the manll
neas to vote the bill down, so they
fastened a millstone, in the Bhape of
a force law around Its neck and pass
e.i it. knowing it could never, with
that anoendage. pass the Senate.
A hill has been passed over the
President's veto. The bill was In fa
vor of etxending the time for complet
ing private enterprise, a dam ovet
Rainv River in Minnesota. This is
the first bill passed over a President'
veto since the time of President Ches
ter A. Arthur.
W. F. HARRIS WRITES OF TRIP.
Journey to Old Home In Wales Being

Representative Adam Bede, the wit
of the House, made a speech In which
he said he had favord the rresiuem
nollcles including the "simple life,"
"strenuous life" and the Improved
slmnle spelling, but that he would
like for him to trade the Philippines
to Great Britain for Ireland, so that
we would raise pur own policemen.

The ) latest reports from Dunn's
Review puts a much better light on
industries throughout the country and
a general livening up of sales and why
shouldn't It come there Is really a
groundless fear of some radical
Improbable change which has caused
and does cause every four years thl
partial stagnation and business de
pression, the partial closing up
activities every fourth year is more
a habit than a logical necessity.'
Protests and urguments and re
asoning, show that there Is no cause
for this timidity, and it would seem
that the people would some time take
a tumble to the fact that in being af
raid of the result of a presidential
election they are acting vory fool
lshly and very unwisely.- There are
some sufficiently Influential people who
Imagine some dire disaster in conse
quence cf a probable or possible event
which Induces a large proportion of
the people to like Imagine, and the re
sult is the same, porhaps along a mon
or degree, as if some unexampled, ac
taual calamity had stricken the count-
try.
We are fearsome timid people and
It seems we can bo thrown Into a panic
on tho slightest provocation. But we
should banish these troublesome and
Injurious fear-thoughts and apprehen
sions of calamity when every thing
doesn't go Just to our liking. Noth
kig suddenly disastrous could happen
as a natural and proper consequence
of tho election of any man, of either
party, as president though powerful
groups might make this an excuse for
trying to worry and oppress tho people
Go ahead as if nothing in particu
lar were to happen. Don't be timid
and become panicky over election or
anything else. Keep your heads cool
attend to business as usual, take things
as they come, don't worry over dis
appointments, and don't Imagine that
the country has to be Buved over again
every four years.
Tho people should keop on trying
to get better and more representative
men in office, and to demand a higher
standard of official service.
Mr. Gomper's paper, The American
Federationist, the organ of the labor
unions, it is said, holds Speaker Can
non responsible for the death of the
Antl-lnjunctlon Bill and an amend
ment to the Sherman Anti-Trust law,
There Is no doubt that the Speaker
Is responsible and gladly so, for
great mass of legislation proposed by
this Congress that has failed to be
come law. More than a year ago,
when Mr. Gompers and ether distin
guished walking delegates of the la
bor organizations went to Congress
and addressed the Speaker of the
House, Uncle Joe replied In a speech
telling them in his usual picturesque
language that while their Interests
would be considered with those of
all the other working men of the Unit
ed States, their organization was not
the whole shooting match, and that
there were a few millions of laborers,
men, women and children in the ag

From every city of any size, on the
Coast, delegates have come to Port
land to attend the session of the Pa
cific Coast Ad Men's Association. It
Is being hold in the Convention Hall
of the Commercial Club Building, and
the Association enjoyed a unique din
ner at the Club Monday night their
banquets are probably the most uuu-
suttl and Interesting given by any
convention they have been compared
to similar affairs of the famous Grid
iron Club of Washington and since
the Portland Ad Men claim to have
the largest Advertising Club in Amer
ica, they are making special effort as
hosts.
A communication went out last week
from the Portland Commercial Club
to tho organizations of the state ask
ing for & supply of literature issued
by each community. Special files of
these publications are kept for the
Information and benefit of newcomers,
who naturally come to the larger
cities first and to whom such a dis
tributing bureau will be of the utmost
advantage. The whole pacific North-
wost Is Included In this scope of their
work.
A few weeks ago President Roose
velt declared "that when compared
with the question of anarchlBin every
other question sinks into insignifi
cance." And nothing has been done.
This Is another occasion when con
gress has failed to get excited over one
of Mr. Roosevelt's superlative excla
mations that something or other is the
most important or the most pressing,
or the momentous of present ques
tions.
Contractors for the now Denver Au
ditorium whore the Democratic Na
tional Convention is to be hold this
month, will walk out of the building
the seventh of the month with their
work completed. It will take a week
nidre to clean up and arrange the
seats, and then the big convention
hall will be ready for the people.
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Harris and child
who left Oregon City about two weeks
ago for a visit to their old home in
Wales, have arrived safely in New
York. Mr. arid Mrs. Harris are well
known In Clackamas County, and their
friends will be Interested in their
travels and of their safe arrival.
The following is taken from a letter
to The Courier:
New York, May 2C, 1908.
I will mention a few of the numer
ous points of Interest passed through
on our long railroad trip. First, .we
left Portland at 2 o'clock P. M., May
19th, and left Seattle, Wash., at 9:30
P. M., the same evening over) the
Great Northern. There is one fea
ture I do not like on the Eastbound
train, and that is, we crossed the Cas
cade mountains by night, as also the
Rocky Mountains, but outside of this
the route was quite Interesting.
One day before we reached North
Dakota, we experienced a fearful
storm, and we traveled about 15 hours
In eight or ten inches of snow, and it
looked very pretty on account of the
grass being green in the low valleys,
where there was no snow at all, but
as we traveled East the snow disap
peared, and thousands of acre's of fine
farms, and ,1 should Judge from the
appearance of the fine buildings that
the farmers of these farms were very
prosperous.
The section of Minnesota, through
which we traveled, was a very pretty
and fertile country, but Oh, my! when
we reached that smoky Minneapolis,
the (smoke was dense, and I don't
think thwt a mosquito would prosper
there. St. Paul is somewhat better,
and Is a very pretty city. A fine de
pot has been erected for the accom
modation of such a railroad center.
At St. Paul we left the Great North
ern Railroad and took the Wisconsin
Central Railroad for Chicago. This
railroal .travels through some good
looking country, but not as good as
wo traveled through heretofore. We
arrived at Chicago on Saturday morn
ing, and spent a day in that city, and
took in what sights wo -could in that
short length of time. Lincoln Park
Is worth while to see. It is certainly
Immense. Michigan Boulevard Is also
great, and It would pay to send your
honorable county commissioners
East to see this well kept road, as a
sample, but C. G. Huntley will soon
be running CO miles per hour on the
Buolevard when he comes to vote for
Roosevelt, (and don't you forget it,
Clyde).
But, I must leave Chicago, as I
could talk upon this city all day, and
it will certainly be the greatest city
on earth in time to come. We now
go to take passage on the Grand
Trunk for Niagara Falls, and It was
here that the agent told us that we
would get our money's worth, and we
surely did. The territory we trav
eled through was partly good farming
country, but there seemed to be a
great deal of gravel in the soil. It
took about eight hours to travel over
this road. The country between Chi
cago and New York is cut to pieces
with railroads.
From Buffalo we came over the Le
high Valley to this city, New York,
Pennsylvania was the poorest state in
appearance in agriculture than any
other state we passed through on our
trip here. We arrived in the city "of
New York on the evening of the 2utJi
lust, and the following day we took
In the sights. Among the places in
this city we visited were the Brook
lyn and Williamsburg bridges. The
Brooklyn bridge Is a great structure,
and Is about the longest bridge in the
world. The streets of New York are
poorly planned, running In all direc
We sail on the 27th of May at 2
o'clock on the Lusitanla, and will
write you more at the end of our
journey.

Catarrh is recognized all over the civilized world as
a formidable disease. In the United States alone, two

other countries the ratio or victims is as great.
For many years Peruna has held the foremost
place as a standard remedy for catarrh.
