COURIER'S NEW EDITOR With this issue of the Courier we are pleased to announce the addition of M. J. Brown to the editorial force of this newspaper. Mr. Brown will have charge of the newspaper end of the Courier's business and will say what he elects in its columns, having seoured an equal share of stock with the former publisher. The Courier will follow along the lines of the same proaressive attitnde, ' working at all times for the upbuild ing of Oregon City and Clackamas bonnty. In this work for the past three years it has succeeded well and from the hearty support from the common people and the growth of its subscription list during that time, having doubled, it is evident that it has suoceeded to a marked degree.. The Conner has reached that size that it must have the undivided at tention of its editor, hence the reach ing out to secure one that would be able to put his life into the work, re-1 suiting in seonring Mr. Brown, who has been a lifelong acquaintance of the Conner publisher, a leader io the right for political independence in the state of New York, and a writer of stories in several national publica tions. We justlv feel that the addition will irreatlv aocment tne advancement ui the Courier, and we believe as it cou tinues to spread out over this section of Oregon, its motives for better con ditions, the ourtailing ot bossiem in all lines, a very desirable effect will be observed and that it will continue to meet with that hearty co-operation that has effected its great advance ment in the past few years. W. A. SHBWMAN, Publisher. NOT ON THE SQUARE After ahont bo much see-sawing and squeeze-playing congress will get down to tacKs and press the Canadian reciprocity bill. The treaty is popular with the masses, and should be passed. It promises the greatest good to the greatest nuuber, and is no doubt but the opomng wedge for further reci procity measures. But there's a "but." Many farmers are kicking on this treaty, aud they have a right to. They are not objecting to the princi ple ot reciprocity, but the means, They are not opposed to a tariff mess- ore that is on the level, and gives them the same treatment as others, but they have a right to howl against a measure that picks out their pro duots - and never touches those of others, which are fully as important to the consumers. Why should grains be made free and the milled produots or these grains re main protected? Can you see any justioe in suoh a slant? Why should meat animals be ou the free list and meats to eat be taxed? Can't yon see a shadow of the moat trust botween the lines? Why should rough lumber be admit ted free and the mill lumber subject to duty? Can yon sue any fairness in suoh a provision? It's the discrimination against the farmer and in favor of the munufno turer that the farmers kick on. And they have jost cause. They do not kick agaiuBt tariff revision by means of reoiprooity, but they do kick against the inequalities and injustice of the present bill. A CHANCE TO SCORE There is an old saying that there is little choice between Republican ras cals and Doniocrtvtio fools to rnn this government, aud the people are wait ing to see how true this will prove in the present session of congress. The Democratic house has started ont with a record of good intentions a rod long, and now it remains to he seen whether thoy will get away with it; or baok into a siding, as usual. Here's the promised list : Recipro city with Canada, revision of the wool schedule, revision ot the cotton sohedole, popular election of United States senators, congressional re apportionment, publicity of campaign funds, admission of Arizona aud New Mexico, investigation ot government extiavagance, and so ou with a pro gram, nearly all tho numbers of whioh are popular with the masses. The new congress has a lurid oppor tunity to make good, regardless ot whether the senate clips their wir.gs, Now will it? The thrifty hog thing on the side. always has soiuo- WHAT OF THIS RUUNO? Hidden away among the press dig batohes last week was an item far reaching in importance, but mighty little In Drint a decision ot the Unit ed States supreme court holding that no manufacturer has a right to fix a retail crice that the wholesaler aud rttailer must observe.. If this ruling means anything more than an omnion. it it means that shall be law and enforced, it will turn some things over in this old trust-controlled oountry and pry some of'the combinations from a part of their loot. Today the manufacturer fixes his nrice and vour urice ou hundreds of the aritcles von buv weekly, and yon would be gieutly surprised if you only knew to how great an extent this ex tortion is carried. The other day a big ad in a city daily quoted cut prices on a clearance sale. When it came to the rubber guods department, it seated that there was one-third off on all boots and rubbers except Lamber ville make. Whv this exception? Because the Lauibertville people ab solutely fir the price to the factory, to the wholesaler, the traveling men, the retailer and the wearer, and any dealer who does not obey the fixiug can't buy the goods. The firm would have been glad to have given the people a one third cut to close out the line, but the trust he hind them would not permit. This is but one of hundreds of pro ducts aud articles on which tlm price is absolutely fixed to the merchant who sells to vou, and on which he cannot cut. Competition is made over into a hold up. and vou have simply got to throw up your hands and let the com binations go through your clothes. What tins trust-made age needs is legislation at Washington that will lay the Sherman anti-trust law ou the shelf and give the people a means to stop this piracy this tribute tak iug a means that is plain, effective and quick. And if we don't get it pretty so the combinations will get us. A MAN WHO DOES. rail- tlie When the Camden & Amboy road was manager-in-chief of political destinies of New Jersey it was a common saving that he had "thirty-five states and New Jersey." Sinoe Wodrow Wilson became gover nor of the state Jerseyites are entitled to be oonsiilored one of the real state?. New Jersey has never been celebrated for producing a superabundance of na tional celebrities, but since (School master Wilson took possession of the gubernatorial chair there has been quite a stirring up of the dry bones. Mr. Wilson is a real up-to-date gover nor. He seems to have an idea that when the people elect a man to do a oertain thing, he is expected to do it. The same convention that nominated Gov. Wilson also nominated James Martine for United States senator. Both Wilson and Martine carried the state by a lurge popular majority. But the people who elected Wilson also elected a legislature that the in terests intended should roturn Senator Smith. Senator Smith was the ma chine boss of the state and he felt highly indignant when he was in formed that the schoolmaster actually proposed to Have tne legislature elect the man who had reoeived a majority of the votes of the people. It was an unheard of thing in Jersey politics for a man to have the effrontery to ignore the mandates or the boss. Uut the governor persisted and von out. And now the governor bus scored another triumph. He has succeeded in com pelling the house of representatives to pass a primary election law as prom ised in the party platform. Here was another instance of where the uia uhine undertook to throttle the will ot the people, and it demonstrated that Gov. Wilson was made of differ ent material than that possessed by the governor ot New York. The plat form of the Democratic party in both stateB declared for the primary law, but the New Y''tk govornor did not see any particular necessity for carry ing out the wishes of the people aud New York will continue to have the destinies of the great state controlled by the man behind the machine. Uov. Wilson claims that the pri mary plauk in the Democratic plat form was of material assistance in carrying the state ror tne Democracy aud he proposes to see that the party carries out the pledges made to the people. The peoplo rule aud not the boss is the platform or the governor. Governor Wilson is the most talked of man iu the Kast today and he will undoubtedly be the most formidable competitor of Champ Clark for the Dcmouaratio nomination for the presi dency in 11)12. WHAT OF MEXIC 0? It appears now that alL peace bets are otf in Mexico, and its a case of dog eat dog a case of fight for a knockout, with famine holding the watch. Mexico is a republio without free dom, a dospotio government where King Diaz has given orders for many years, aud where thousands of Mexi cans are little less than slaves. And naturally we Americans, with the red blood of lreedom in our veins, have full sympathy for the black men who are fighting for freedom. But, Bay, take a trip down iu that land of "monyaua;" get back from the tourist paths, where the peon class exist; back where deuse, deplor able ignorance aud superstition rule; back from the railroads where you are a " tourista" when you hand out the change aud a "gringo" when you refuse; back where the black men live as in the time of Christ, aud then perhaps you will know that freedom in Mexico cannot be the freedom of America for many, many years, and that tnat country must have an iron hand at its head. We are not dclondiug Diaz, nor are we upholding tli is government's gum shoe game, but the writer knows something of Mexico and Mexicans, and he knows that the crack of the lash holds back an army of ignorance and fanaticism that would ruin and pillage if given the freedom they ask tor, and which they so little coinpre- heud. NOT EVEN HOPE lu an editorial comparison of pro posed direot primary laws in New York aud New Jersey, the Oregoniau Closes with tins comment: Comparison of the two meas ures shows that New York ad vocates of direct primaries see hope only of a short forward sten, while the New Jersey reformers are undertaking to travel the whole road. mere is migntv little none or even the short step in boss-controlled New lorx state. .both parties promise loud enough in their platforms, ana then both parties lie to the people Tammany is the Republican party's biggest asset, aud the Republican state organization is Tammany's right bower. They play a great game in York State. The Roosevelt dinner at Portland cost 2000, and was attended by 200 men. The papers state that the Colonel is getting stout. If ten-dollar-a-plate dinners are his for reg ular he should be stout or dead. A pretty good thermometer of Ore gon's growth is the reoords at Salem, which show that iu the month of March alone 184 companies were in corporated to do busiuess iu this state. This is taking the hurdles. Death rang the gong on Torn L. Johnson of Cleveland, Monday, aud counted out a man who has been a remarkable oharacterfor many years- man hated and loved. He was twice elected to congress, four times mayor of Cleveland, and was a cham pion of the single tax theory. SOCIALISTS PROTEST. Want Congress to Investigate Taft's Mexican Moves. Uanby, Oregon, April 2, Mil. The socialists of this city, iu mass meet ing here, passed the following resolu tion : " Whereas, as a result of iuv.'stiira- tiou, the present government of Mexi co, under Pornrio Diaz, has betu proven to bo one of the most corrupt, bloody, brutal and despotic govern ments of which history att'orJs any records; aud " Whereas, the oppressed people of Mexico have at last arisen in arms against that government, and are to day fighting for freedo a and their constitutional rights, which have been denied them under the military despotism created by Dmz, who as president ot the Republic ot Mexico a republio oi.ly in name has abrogat ed us constitution aud assumed all the powers ot a dictator; aud "Whereas, the president aud gov ernment of the United Slates, at the instigation of. and as tne tools of cer tain capitalistic interests which have profited by the corrupt goverument of Diaz, have umassed a military force upou the border of these two countries for the purpose of intimidating the Mexican revolutionist and defeating an oppressed people stiuggiiug to tree themselves from the iron lieel of tyranny and despotism; and "Whereas, this American nation, known, us the United States, was born iu revolution and revolt agninst gov ernmental oppression ; therefore be it "RfHolveJ, that we extend to the patriots of Mexico, now figthtiug foi their liberties, our sympathy iu their trials aud our best wishes for their success in the cause now engaged; aud "Resolved, that the action of the president and government ot the United States in the use now being made of the military and naval forces of our country has its historical par allel in the use of 17,000 Hessian mer cenaries loaned by the government of Uerinauy to King Oeorge of England with which to aid him in his eaort tn crush the American colonies in the time of the Revolutionary war; and ttesoived. that wo. as members of the Sooialist party of Canby, Oregon, indorse, the above resolutions, at d the prinicpleB ot 'proletarian solidarity' and the 'international unity of the workiug class of the world in its struggle for political aud economic freedom ;' and "Resolved, that we protest airainst the manhood of tiie army and navy of our country being made a catspaw to pun out or the fire the canitahstic chestnuts of the Moraans aud the Ouggeuheims; aud be it further 'Resolved, that a conv of these res. olutions be furnished for publication to the Canby Tribune, the Oregon Ulty papers, the Oreizon Dailv Jour- nal, aud to Jonathan linurne Jr., and Oeo.

Colonel Roosevelt's denunciation of Arizona's lax divorce lawB, delivered u a state where almost any old ex cuse provides a ground for a husband or wifo to slip the bridle, was just a lttlo amusing, lint no doubt it was along tho lines of protbotiuu of state industries. Aud now they give it out that El bert Hubbard of the Roycroft doings at East Aurora, N. Y., will start a wing at West Aurora, near Los An geles. If there was evor a man who knows just how to put oue over our fad-loving Americans and get away with the play, it is that long-haired', smooth gent of Roycroft fame.

The Bank of Oregon City The Oldest Bank i n the County Republicans and Democrats alike will exclaim "So mote it be" to the movement started by congress to cut down that grafting list of leeches who pad the government's payroll. There are today 700,000 employees of this government, one for every twenty votors, aud about half as many more who hope to get to the pie oouuter. With this army at the foddor, do you wonder that our expenditures are the figures that scare y The Democrats throughout the uouutry are holding get-together ban quets for the purpose of strengthening the party and attracting to it the in dependent and joung votors of the oonutry. They are ottering a place of refuge to those Republicans who feel that their trust in thir party has been betrayed aud its solemn pledge broken. It will require quite a num ber of banquets to bring the Democ racy entirely together. As yet they have not evinced much disposition to pool their issues. Democratic ideas iu oue stite do not seem to suit the ideas of Democrats in other states. For instance, the Democratic party in Its platform iu New York last year solemnly pledgi d itself to pass a pri mary election law, but whon tho leg islature met they chongod their minds and the solemn pledges went for naught. Moil's religious organizations are making arrangements looking toward a spread of the gospel throughout the world. A campaign is to be waged for tho revival of the old fashioned gospel religiou, the influence of which cannot at present be estimated. The prime movers in tins caiupaigu claim that sixty of the one-hundred million American aud Canadians belong to no church, and even more fail to take part in religion. The alaruiing.spread of divorce, jobbery iu affairs of busi uess, oombines, graft in public con tracts, disputes .between capital and labor with attendant strikes, oorinp tiou iu politics, and other wide-spread sins, cry out for cure. This cute, say the promoters, lies iu a personal re ligiou. The leaders in this new cam paign are the Yonng Men's Christian Association, the, International Sunday 3 hnol Association and the church brotherhoods.

Some of tneui limit their aims to spiritual work, while others invite the co-operation of all who believe in making war on vice wherever it may be found.

Beauregard, commander of the confederate forcesjat Charleston, de manded the surrender of Fort Sumter, aud being refused opened fire on the fort, with the result that Major An derson was oompelled to surrender on the 13th of April, the fleet which was Bent to the assistance of the fort not fiuding it practicable to land. The details of the surrender were tel egraphed to all parts of the country, north as well as Bouth. Charleston was wild with exultation. Bolls were rnug, guns were fired and great crowds assembled. The governor in a speech to the crowd said: "We have humbled the flag of the United States. We have defeated their twenty millions; we have brought down in humility the flag that tri ll mphed for seventy years ; today, ou this 13th day of April, it has been humbled, and humbled before the glorious little state of South Caro lina." Ac Montgomery, the confederate oapitol. there was equal exutlatiou. Gen. Walker, the confederate secre tary of war, in the course of a speech said: "No man can tell where the oouflict this riav connneiiced will end, but I prophesy that the flag which now flaunt" the breeze here will flout over the dome of the capitol at Wash ington before the first of May. Let them try Southern chivalry, and test the ex tout of Southern resources, and it nniv float eventually over Funeuil hall itself." At Washington tire effect was to oall forth a proclamation from Presi dent Lincoln calling for the enlist ment or seventy-five thousand volun teers for three months. The president called uou all loyal citizens to main tain the honor, the integrity and the existence of t'ie national government and to reirot-s wronns already loug endured. The prsidmt said that the first service of the volunteers would be to repossess the property taken from the government, and promised that in every instance tha troops wouki; nse rn utmcst oure to pre vent the devastation aud destruction of property and lie commanded all petsouB or combinations to retire peaceably to their homes within twenty days. In tho same proclama tion ha cailed an extra fession of con gress to meet on the fourth day of July. On this eUl to arm the North rose almost at oue man. Tho gov ernors of all the northern states re sponded with troops. Massachusetts was the first in the field. On the day of the proclamation appeared four regiments of volunteers, twice the number called for by the secretary of war. mustered with full ranks on Boston common, and three days later one of 'these reeim mts, the 6th, wns "0i miles on th way to Washington. Pennsylvania was almost equally prouip, and her legislature sanctioned a ban of $:t. 000, 000, and organized a reserve cirps besides l er quota. New York was called upon tor 17,ooo men for thro; mouths and responded by sending fO.OOd for two years, and vot ed a war loan of 3,000,000. Rhode Island pout her quota at once, with Governor Sprague at the head. The other free states did likewise, n"d meu aud money wore contributed to an extent tar beyond whst was dti umudtd by the goverument. On the other baud the governors cf the bor der states replied to the requisition for ireops in a defiant wanner and poatthtly declined to furnish auy. Principal A. H. Yoder of the publio schools of Woodburu, was arrested last week on a warrant charging him with assault and battery ou a fourteen-year-old pupil, lie was taken to Salem to ans'wer the charge.

Grants Pass has adopted a popula tion mark of 40,000 by the next cen sus. People of the Southern Oregou district are not going to sit down and wait idly for it to be realized but will work definitely toward that eud. It is stated that contracts have been signed np for 4000 bales of hops u the Willamette valley at 15 and 16 cents per ponud. This indicates a better figure for the crop this year thau that paid lor the 1910 prothint, which struck a litte less than -.the same average and deolined somewhat before the season was closed. V The Eugene Register states that the county attorneys have rendered an opinion that a fruit inspector has a legal right to go upon another's prem ises and spray truit infected with pests, that lie is entitled to the pro tection of a poiice officer or sheriff while in performance of his duty. He is required to serve a reasonable notice ou the owner before he com mences said work of destruction. Last week Mrs. M I.
