IT'S SO HANDY.
I sometimes wish that the Almighty
woalrt literdlty graDt every prayer
petition for about a week just to see
how many ministers and others would
tall dead through surprise.
Prayer is as handy and cheap as ad
vice, and a groat deal of it doesn't
amount to any mora than advice.
It has become a " form, " an intro
duction to the regular program, and
it fills in as an overture does to band
concert. And like a modern overture,
it isn't the musio but the time that
counts about so many words in so
many modulations, and 'tis done.
Ever attend one of the fashionable
churches and listen to the opening
where the preaeiier stands up and
prays twenty minutes and preaches
fit teen?
This man asks Qod to do about
everything he (the preacher) wouldn't
do himself, lie drags ri-quests in
headlong, and traraes up enough work
to keep heaven running on a itme and
a half to till the orders. He wants
everybody blessed, wants peace to
prevail everywhere, wants the poor
and forsaken to be oared for, wants a
seneral awakening toward the church,
wants the Lord to knock off and nmke
himself manifest in every Binner's
heart, und then he usually concludes
"And when it is thy divine will,
gather us all together in thy king
dotn,'1 etc
And I 11 bot a dollar if notice was
served on him that the Lord would
gather him in at a certain day next
week he'd try to esoape that he'd
make a dash for Woodburn or Salem.
And the chaplain in our Iodizes or
banquets. Ever try to keep a line on
what he is asking (or? Why, a kid i
Santa Glaus request wouldn't be a
starter to it. He doesn't realize what
he is saying, nor does anyone else.
He is niarniug time and getting in
the proper voice modulations and fa
cial expression. If the Lord would
give him what he asked for he would
die with fright and the audience
would make for the fire escapes.
I have always had an idea that the
Lord wouldn't do for a man what he
was able and too lazy to do for him
self, and when I heur a petitioner
tear oil yards and yards of requests I
think of the old story of the farmer
who prayed to the Lord to remove the
woodohuck holes in his meadow and
the result.
Prayer is altogether too miscellan
eous and handy. It IB meaningless, a
scrambled lot of words, rattled oil to
fulfill a custom.
; Aots are what oount and prayer is
to be wedged in only when jou are
up against it and acts won't count
when you have done your lest and
have tallen down with it Then you
get sinoenty a prayer right from the
middle of an anxious heart.
Years ago, at a revival mvelitig, a
big Norwegian had a o unge of heart,
and he had it bad I mean right.
After the services t e minister asked
the converts to express their thanks
to Qod, and the son of Norway, bub
bling over with desire but vory short
on words, made this heaitfelt braek:
"Great, big, strapping Christ. You
can build barns and tear down fences,
cau't you, God?"
The above was a literal expression.
The congregation laughed and the pa
pers made a good joke of it, but God
didn't see wiiere the joke came iu.
This Norwegiuu wouldn't bother
Good with auv half hour petitions.
If he ever got down in the lust ditch
and oouldn't pull ont, then ho would
try it as a last resort and if anyriii.
got an atiBwer to prayer Norway
would.
And as I Bald at the beginning, I
wish that prayer would be literally
grunted for just one week to see the
consternation and tlio beteuchors take
to the woods.

AND THIS IS "JUSTICE."
I can understand how a desperate
man might hold up a wayfirer with a
six-shoooter, and a judge taking into
consideration his circumstances,
might parole him.
1 can appicciate justice being tem
pered with parole mercy when some
nerve-wrecked cocaine eater, suffer
ing the torments of the damned, will
pick a pocket to get the money neces
sary to bring relief.
But I OaN'T understand how a.
judge and a jury, sworn to render
justice, will find a married man guil

and thtn let him go scot free parole

THE DADDY TRUST.
Louis D Brandies of Boston says
that of all the great problems before
our country todav, not one is of so
great importance, or so menacing
the uiouey trust," the control which
a few financiers exercise over the cap
ital of America."
"A few men are acquiring
power which is almost world com
pelling No really large enterprise
today can be undertaken without
the consent of the few men whose
offices are in or near Wall street;
and the price of their consent is
usually suoh as to enhance the
power of our money kings."
This statement is startling, but it
Isn't surprising. We all know that
it is literally true, that money is
greater than our government.
But, what are we going to do about
it?
Throw a brick into the" United
States senate and you will hit a mil
lionaire. Drive the congressmen through a
chute and nine out of ten will show
the brand of the politician men who
are too busy landing a postotiioe ap
pointment or pulling on an irrigating
project to worry about suoh matters
as the AHrioh "central bank"
soheme.
Aud again, what are you going to
do about it? How are you going to
stop it?
"POWERFUL influence:
Abe Ruef is serving a fourteen-year
term in San Qnentin prison in Cali
fornia for bribery.
Or rather he has Btarted to serve
it has served a few mouths of it.
And now they have it framed up to
let this criminal politician go free
within the next two months.
Here's a part of a special sent out
from San Francisco:
"The powerful influences that
have been brought to bear to
briug about the parole ot Kuef
have been sullicient to wave aside
the legal bars that Btand iu the
way of suoh action.''
The most of the readers ot these
lines are little cusses who haveu'c any
"Powerful influences" to shield them
from justice. They oan't dispoil a
city for their own private gain und
use the people's money to bribe their
way to the loof, and to freedom if
caught looting.
Aud we littlo cusses know that
there are two measures of justice iu
this country.
Oue is "Powerful Influeuoe," the
other lawful punishment.
The big thief can star out of prisou
or broak out ot prison if he has money
enough.
ith money enough goes pull and
influence.
It is such little associated press dis
patches as the oue above that fosters
unrest and resentment and breeds ecu
tempt for our laws aud our courts.
Here is what Louis D. Uraudeis of
Boston thinks of the ff00,0()0 necklace
given by Steel Trust Uary to his
wife:
"We find hero a gift of such extra-
ordinsrv valae, drawn from steel
trust piolltN, that royalty itself hardly
could equal it. Suoh things as this
must have a serious effect upon exist
ing conditions and create a still great
er tocial uc.reHt. llus maguincent
sitt. should suggest to us the queeu's
uecklRci), the story of the Frenoh rev
olution aud the great social unrest of
the people ot that day. This Uhrist
uiHfl present is a remarkable example
of the uuearuttl wealth of those en-
joying it aud which is taken out of
the lives of those who work to pro
duce it."
HORSE PLAY.
The tariff board having reported
that schedule K. of the wool tariff is
excessive, the president now consents
that the duty may be lowered.
I'orty-five million people long ago
reported that this wool schedule was
stealing, but tne presiueni sain,
"Nav. nay. vait for my tariff board
to RV SO. "
Last vear's congress, after months
ot investigation." reported that the
wnnl schedule was excessive, and
nassed a law to htop the national
lioldun.
Aud President Taft vetoed it hiB
tariff board hadn't reuorted
Who aud what is the tariff board?
Richard Washington Child nays it
is "two politicians, two professors
aud oue publisher."
This is the wonderful board on
whose findings rested the matter of
whether the counrty should shake off
the robbers or stand still and be
robbed.
Tiiis is the commission that is
greater than congress.
This is the commission, hich its
own chairman, Henry C. Emory, de
clares Iibb no powers. He says :
"The law says the president may
employ such perw ns as he sees nt
to act as a tariff board, I am one
of 'such persons'. That's all."
This board has no powor to com
mand and compel information.
Congress has tins power
This board reports that the duties
on wool aud woolen goods are too
high.
' Congress and the people long ago
reported this and Prefidect Taft
stopped the remedy with his veto.
but the "two politicians, two pro
fessors and one publisher" have now
repreated congress' findings aud Presi
ded Taft eavs "1 recommend that
such revision be proceeded with at
once."
' Isn't it all a big joke?
President Taft simply would not let
a Democratic congress have the
credit that's the point.
But it's just possible that the joke
may be carried along.
Now that the president's private
grand jury has indictod the wool
trust, what it congress should
the same bill Mr. Taft vetoed
summer?
Wouldn't that be rubbing the
pass
last
salt
in a fresh cut?
Wouldn't our president " have (o
swallow the crow, feathers and wish
bone, when he signed it?
But he wouldn't sign it.
The size of it will be this, and you
watch it:
We won't have any tariff laws at
this session of congress. .
The Republican stand-patters will
frame a wishy-washy bill and the
Democraticr house will kill it. The
Democrats and Republican insurgents
will pans a bill that either the senate
will stop or the president will veto.
And that is just what Big Business
is playing for.
THE LAST LAUGH.
"Could there be a system more
ingeniously devUed to subject
judgeB to momentary gusts of pop
lar passion than this!" Presi
dent Taft.
And then he vetoed Arizoua's con
stitution because it permitted the re
call.
That was the first chapter.
Here's an asssocintfid presa dispatch
from Phoenix which rel.'ites the seo-
oud chapter.
"The first act of the legislature
of the new state of Arizona will
be one submitting to the voters an
amendment restoring to the con
stitution the provision for the re
call of judges, stricki n out by a
mandate of President Taft."
President Taft pioposed to show
Arizoua lie was running that state
The people of Arizoua will now show
President Talt they are running it.
And the showing will cost the Re
publican party a big price next year,
not only in Arizona but in every state
where the progressives are working
for needed reforms.
AND WHO RESPONSIBLE?
Two weeks ago the Courier com
mented on how ' the people of this
oountry, and Oregon, were laying
representatives at Washington a big
mileago graft The Stiytou Mail
copiod it and added :
Urn. Brown that brings us back
to the old question: who makes
the laws? The man with a few
dollars and a lot of muscle or the
mau with the special privilege
and many thousands?
And this question suggests another:
Who is responsible for these graft
WB?
The trouble is ith we voters we
ate a bunch of bnneheads.
A man bobs np for oougress, and if
he happens to belong to the carty we
inherited, we throw our caps iu the
air and hurrah for him.
We don't kuow what he stands for.
nor don't ask him.
We dou't kuow what he will do in
Washington, nor dou't ask him. He
promises a few jobs, introduces a bill
for a dam, doesn't give a dam wheth
er it passes or not, aud then "plays
hall."
We ought to smoke these fellows
out, make them ct.nio right out with
a statement of what they will do and
what they will not do, before election.
When we insist on this we wou't be
tsxed to pay onr congressman a tip of
18 rents a mile every time he crosses
the continent.
Don't you thins this is the remedy,
Uro. 0!ui stead?
A writer calls the Courier's atten
tion to an error in a recent editorial
in connection with the congressional
mileage steal, that the salaries of con
gressmen is $7,i00 instead of 5,000.
"lis bo I had forgotten that session
at Washington where the ft Hows got
together aud raised their pay. It was
done by the same gang which defeats
every attempt to cut off eighteen
cents per mile from the joy rules to
und from Washington. But if tl e
same man who asks ns to correct this
item would take the same pains to ask
his congressman how he voted ou
these matters, it might do more good.
Baker out its tax rate from 14. 7 to
0.4 mills, and a commission form of
govornuieut turned the trick. When
you can run a city on the same plan
that a mercantile bnsiues is rnn ou,
then will you have the kind of gov
ernment cities are praying for.
Oregon's oldest newspaper would
have more influence and be perused
with more satisfaction if it did not
continually manifest its peevishness
iu defeat and nurse a chrouio grouch
against the senators and the governor
the people selected. It isn't well to
keep a sore toe always ou exhibi
tion. Woodburn Independent.
A PATRIOTIC STEAL
A subscriber writes the (Vuri)r edi
tor that he does not see any comments
on the pension matter the soliders'
pension matter.
It won't make any difference to
congress whether the Courier pruts a
column artirle or ignores the matter.
But if it will be satisfactory to a
subscriber to know what the editor
thinks, here it is:
I believe tiiat any soldier whose
legs ever t ok him oof. where bis body
was in danger of stopping Lullets,
should have a pension it lie netds tnst
pension, and thut engine bh uld be
the size of his Deeds.
But I dou't believe that every man
wh. volunteered or was drafted
should have one.
The country's peusiou system has
made an army of veteran liars.
It has' provided pensions for men
who never saw a rebel lite, tor men
who had fat snaps a cooks, or who
killed time around osls and head
quarters. It has made men swear
that inabilities contracted years after
the war were the direct results of ac
tive war servioe, aud it has dated
back many a late case of rhiumatifni
to '05.
To any veteran who fought for hs
country and who needs help, our
country should be proud to give that
helo, as a debt it owes
Aud our country should not go further.
A HALF LOAF AND SMILE.
The Amerioan citizen is an em
inently practioal person. Winn
he cau get only half a loaf, he
gladlv accepts it rather than have
no bread. If the Democrats kill
the Republican wool bill, they
will be kept busy explaining how
much better off the consumers are
with no tariff redaction than they
would have been with a measure
of reduction which, though not as
deep as the Democrats desire, is
all that could have been obtained.
The party which gees before the
voters with an explanation suffers
a severe handicap, lor an explan
ation is a poor substitute for
cheaper clothes, blankets aud car
pets It does not satisfy the
man who is wearing cotton or
shoddy bnt would prefer wool
He look's to the net result. Ure
gouian. This is a great oonclasiou of a great
editorial in the great Oregonian, as
well as a great compliment to the
Amerioan voter.
It is blizing the way for another
tariff reduction joke like the reduc
tion "downward" we now have.
It. is notice to the people who are
nrote. ting against the robbery by the
protected trust that a part of tii's
robbery must continue, that a half
loaf is better than no bread, aud ttiat
a President Taft will veto any bill
passed that does not afford protection
to our industries
And here is a press dispatch from
which Oregon voters can ste what
protection does:
Lynn, Mass, Dec. 2. The in
crease in the wholesale prices ot
shoes which will b inaugurated
by the Brockton shoe manufao
tarers will be pnt into effect at
the same time by (he Lynn associ
ation and by most ot the New
England manufacturers. The
matter will be taken up later be
fore the convention ot the nation
al association in New Yoik.
If shoes and leather were on the
free list, would you see such news
notes?
"FIXIN"" THE WRONG PLACE.
The primary motive of the ref
erendum is all right in theory at
least, but. under its present work
ing iu this staie. it 1 aves much
to be desired. It appears that
the fatuous "Oregon system"
needs "fixin'."-Polk Oouuty Ob
server It appear to me that officials sworn
to uphold tho law have been "fixed."
Forging a name to an initiative pe
tition is just plain f o r-g-e-r-y. and
the handy man with the fonutain pen
can be sent to Suleui just as surely aB
can the cheek forger.
It isn't the "Oregon S stem" that
needs "rixiu' " but the system's
dispoilers A liw wiihcot enforce
ment is no law.
CONSISTENCY.
There is a lot iu Governor West's
prison reform work that I do not
like, much that I believe should be
condemned, but at the same time 1
would not set the rings on him w hen
there was the same hunting at home.
Wees after week and day after day
some of the Portland papers have
thrown the gaff into West because he
has paroled prisnnrrs, while week af
ter week ami day after day Portland
judges have opened the doors to con
victed criminals, paroled thein in
bunches, while the West-barking edi
tors never comment.
What of the court that turned a
man loose convicted of ruining a 15
year-cl.l girl last week? What of this
parole.' uoes the Uregnnian tear up
the turf and demand that this judge
re removed? Has the Oregonian de
nounned any of the dozen of paroles
that Pi.ri Inntl judges have been turn
ing out iu the last six mouths.
Honest criticism is one thing
sticking pins in a man is another
and
SUCH A CLEVER IDEA.
When you stoo to digest it, it is
amusing to see the stand pat Republi
can papers try to make Roosevelt a
candidate for president.
If LaFolletfe should step down and
out, these same papers would crowd
him down as hard as they boost him
now.
It's a Taft play a wedge to split
the Progressive strength and get the
fellows to Huhting among themselves.
Roosevelt has a lot of strength in
this part of tho country, and so has
the Wiscousiu candidate. If a fight
con Id only be prodded on, you can see
Taft s advantage
And I dou't believe Roosevelt is go
ing to pull chestnuts out of the lire
for this buuch of trust protectors.
By a decisive vote Oak Grove voted
down a special road tax last week,
aud t lieu passed a resolution request
ing State Senator Dimick of this city
to work for a law to creatrt a state
highway commission, and take road
building away from the county court.
And while the people and the pa
pers of the state are protesting agaust
the numerous csmmis-ions we now
have. Oak Grove would have another
created, and it would be just about
what our railroal commission is now.

Govei nor Marshall ot Indiana now
comes forward with a trust preventa

just as criminal for a lawyer to lorm
an illegal trust combination as for the
drrggist to knowingly sell poison to

Marshall will find there is a long wait
between his suggestion to congress
and the passage of the bill.
