John Stark Says Presidential Fuss Is Just Horse Play. Editor Courier: . "In my salad days, when I was green" I held as maxim that "when rogues fall out honest men will get thoir clues." That sound ed good to me, but so far the only result of falling out has been the lawyers got the fees. Hut that lawyers anil honesty are synom yous I have never heard from the critics of language. On the surface it appears that two well known crooks are at outs one would think so at least from the conduct of these two worthies, Uowowr 1 am as yet unconvinced that it is not a farce on a large scale, played to full galleries. While both speak ill of each other, so far nothing has been said but what everyone knew who read the news of the limo, in fact much more of the same kind could be brought for ward. Take for instance Toolhadorc swearing , olT his personal taxes and then taking tho gubernatorial ofllce, afler disqualifying him self by his tax-dodging. Then also his connection with the Al ton loot, in calling out the militia in tho Croton dam strike. And wo hear very little of the judicial aeU of "Injunction Bill," of which tho less said the better. If these two ollleial clowns were to really get mad at one another, ' what a line lot. of inside history wo would bo treated to. But per haps some people will think noth ing racv could be told on their idols, but these worshippers can easily llnd that their gods havt feet of clay. Years ago I road of some of the methods followed by crooks in largo cities. One was that two men would heroine involved in a quarrel on the street. The pas sers by stopping soon formed a crowd, when a third parly would go through the pockets of I he gaping crowd; perhaps a prt Herman would take the two belig- erants into custody, take them around tho corner and turn them loose, and after a while some of tho victims would realize they had been (Weed. Now while I am aware lhal the presidential ollleo is worth while to scrap over, still it looks to me as only a live job. Teddy says he will support the nominee. Could Bill do less .;. These two volo beggers cer'ainly do strip the ha lo. I wonder that so many suck ers will continue to bawl for eith either After the expose from such source it seems as if any normal minded person might say with Caiban; "Thrice double blessed ass was I to think this drunkard was a god or worship that dull fool." That is the result of hero wor ship. If either of these men were reauy iiiuispeiisinie, wuai would become of us if God, in his infin ite wisdom should call them away? Surely we must all per ish I But perhaps God so loved the people ho sent them to rule over us. If so, which one? Wo will all see through the play when the curtain goes down. At any rate they certainly have need lo vary the program, as the old numbers can no longer be de pended on to draw paying houses. John F. Stark.

Last week the Courier had a brief account of the death of Roy Pelkey, and wo print the following details of the unfortunate acci dent, contributed from Molalla. Roy Pelkey was accidentally drowned in a small mill dam at the saw mi'i of Fred Marlenson, throe and a half miles south of Molalla, Monday May 6 Roy, with bis younger brother, Eugene, called at the farm of Her bert Engle for the purpose of buying some pigs. They were ready lo start home when Eu gene proposed that they go and look at the now dam, which had been just completed and the gale shut. Tin; pond was full of water to the depth of five or six feet. Eugene walked out on some logs when in some way he lost his bal ance and fell in the pond. He was unable to swim, but at a call for help his brother, went to his as sistance, grasped his brother's hand, and he was pulled into the water. Both boys sank, but when they came lo the serfaeo called for help. Herbert Engle being close by jumped in and caught the boys, and they pulled nun under. In tho meantiino the cries for help had been heard by (ho mill hands who wore at supper. They hurried to tho rescue and suc ceeded in getting Eugene andlter- hert out. Roy was under some gs and the water was muddy by reason of heavy rains, and the men were unble to localo the drown ing man. The water was nastily drawn of and the body recovered. Dr. Todd was summoned an.d he came in his car as fast ns possible, but life was extinct. All was done that could be done, but without avail. A telephone call was sent lo his father and mother telling them of the sad misfortune. The grief stricken father hurried to tho scene of the accident and had the body removed to his home. about one-fourth mile distant. The sudden horror of the awful tragedy forced upon the mother caused a nervous collapse, and grave fears are entertained that she may not recover. The drowned boy leaves to mourn his untimely death father, mother, three brothers and three sisters, besides a host of friends, whose grief- stricken and tear stained faces told of their great sorrow. Roy was 21 years and 5 months old, of pleasing manners, kind Imposition and ho was a ireneral favorite among his friends. He was tho second youngest son of Margaret and Mileheal Pelkev. Die interment look rdaeo at the Odd Fellows cemetery, where x large concourse of sorrowinc friends gathered to attend the last sad rites of their ricnnrloil friend. The services were con ducted by Rev. Trullinger. The grave was covered with the most beautiful offerings that sorrowing friends could design.
