OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1912 FUTURE IS BRIGHT. John Stark of Maple Lane Sees Blue Skies for Socialism. Editor Courier: With malice toward none and a spirit of com radeship which reaches beyond ' the seas, the Socialists being the only political parly having an in ternational character, met in con vention in Knapp's hall May 18. Upon being called to order, Com rade Piper gave a brief and in teresting talk, the keynote of which was Universal Justice, af ter which temporary organization was effected by electing Robert Ginther as chairman and J. F. Stark secretary. A committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Thomas, Fredricks and Braker, on order of business, were ap pointed, whose report was adopt ed as read. A recess till one o' clock, p. m., was taken and upon reconvening Comrade Thomas gave a brief talk on the great dis content throughout the land. Business being resumed by mak ing the temporary officers per manent after which the following ticket was nominated: For repre sentatives to the legislatures, Frank Mathews, Itf. V. Thomas, and John Stark. For commis sioner, W. W. Myers. For asses sor, Claude Howard; sheriff, J. W. Braker; clerk, J. W. Lieser; treasurer, B. Frecrricks; superin tendent of schools, Robert Gin ther; recorder, Carl Hilton; cor oner, Eli Criswell; surveyor, S. H. Perkins. The county resolution was adopted which reads: "We the so cialists in convention assembled, on the 18th day of May, 1912, re affirm our allegience to national and state socialist platforms rec ognizing the class struggle as4.he paramount issue in the political campaign. Upon this broad plat form, the socialist party has placed its candidates before the voters of Clackamas county, Ore gon. Throughout the proceeding en thusiasm was a noteworthy fea ture, as everywhere through all walks of life, people are awaken ing to the great change which is world wide, it was the impression of all that two years hence, we would be subject to the direct pri mary and in four years it would be socialism against the field here in old Clackamas as it was in Los Angeles, Milwaukee and some other places recently. Everyone seeing the issue is rapidly narrowing to the subject of socialism vs. capitalism, all other party ties will be severed. As an illustration of the world wide trend for freedom, I will cite Sweeden, where recently a mem ber of the Reichstaag introduced a resolution to abolish the office of the king. Similarly Victor Berger introduced a resolution in congress to abolish that clog up on the wheels of progress, the U. S. senate. By and bye all those outworn forms of government will give away to co-operative commonwealth.. John F. Stark. MARQUAM Charles Birchet went to Port land Monday on business.

They even do not lose any sleep over the political ques- tonsof the day, single tax etc. Say, why are some trying to get off paying a little tax. Why are some trying to take their neck from the yoke? Is it not a fact if one half gets out of having to lift, that the other half will have to lift double? Let each one come forward like men and say let me help lift and make the burden lighter. Each one requires pro tection so let each one come for ward with his share and not be a drone. Hal You Mulinoiles, how about those railroads out there. Whats the expression of the people out there? Well there is a great deal of confidence in the Canby-Molalla R. R. Chas. Shaw's colt got out of the pasture last week and struck out for Eastern Oregon. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Guy have gone after them.

The ice cream social at Mar quam on Friday evening, May 17, at the closin? exercises of the Mar quam school, proved a success in every partioular. The program was well executed throughout, the crowd in attendance was so large that there was not ice cream enough to go round.

The night of May 13, 1912 will long be remembered by the people of Bee Hill. Many of the farmers are taking advantage of the dry weather of the previous week, had started fires, thinking to burn the nrusn out before the dry season set in. The wind which had been pretty high, kept increasing until Mon day night, it blew at a hurricane rate. R. C. Hunter and family lost their house and all its con tents, including many relics and keepsakes, the accumulations of thirty-seven years of house-keep ing. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were aione and the fire came to their place so suddenly that they had to run for their lives, and only saved what they were wearing. Will Scheiffer and Mr. Hen dricks who had fought the fire for thirty-six hours without rest went to Chas. Hunter's home and worked to save his buildings until exhausted, and then fled to the rocky top of a high hill where they spent the rest of Monday night. ' George Wallace came just alter they left and heroically fought for about two hours and pnly left on seeing the fire spreading in the direction of his own home. Cur tis Handle helped for a short time and although the pigpen and its contents, and much fencing was burned, yet the house and barn were saved. Mrs. Hunter,, about 11 o'clock took her children and managed to reach the bottom of the canyon about a mile distant where they passed the night. Will Scheiffer s house and all the con tents were burned, also the un- occuDied building on the Carr place, and the house on Mr. Mor rison's place.

Will Scheiffer has a new house nearly finished. Chas. Huuter left home for his work in the government forestry department Sunday. . CBvethe.fl aont ntkao aon aont At the home of Mr. A.

"Don't be silly, Eddie smokes 'em, So does Billy Hann; He works in a grocery. Don't you want to be a man?" Came the noon hour and the bell tapped, Rolland Whispered "Now Well'l slip out behind the big rock That's the rendezvous. But the pretty little teacher Standing up in front Said in low tones, even gentler Than her usual wont i 'Fifteen minutes for our dinner, Then I think today We'll do something that's quite different From our usual play." "What is that? Do, teacher tell us But she shook her- head; "Until we have had our dinner, Mum's the word" she said. "It won't taice us fifteen minutes, Must wo eat so slow?" "Chew your food well and digest it So that you will grow." Fifteen minutes past the noontide Out the gay troup went, Clustering about the teacher In their wonderment. "Form in line, we'll have some rac.es, Start when I count three; He who reaches first tho roadway Shall the victor be, And we'll crown his head with laurel s Gathered from yon tree.

Even Ronald gave .approval.join ing in the glee; Was tho race not to the swiftest? they would quickly see. How he'd break tlie feeble fetters. Soon the race was on, And he speeded to the roadway, distancing each one. So they crowned the strong, young victor; then a tiny thread Loosly knotted 'round his ankles off the races sped. At the first bound sturdy Ronald snapped the thread in twain; Far out -stripping all the others in the race again. Laughed the boy m prond deri- CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
