6 OREGON CITV COURIER, FRIDAY, SEPT, 27 1912 FROM THE SCENES. 8IDE PLAYS THAT JOHN STARK MAKES NOTE OF. Men and Things as Seen from a Socialist's Viewpoint. You have noticed in every city beautiful large dwelling houses. some of which are occupied a short time in the year by their owners who frequently have houses in other parts and oflen spend much of their time at the best hotels. If I should ask you what the owners worked at, what kind of a look would I got for an answer? Go to another part of the same cily and you will find some tumbledown, or at best nootiy equipped shacks. Who lives there? Oh, only a working man. Do you think poverty is ncc essary? Now don't tell me about being industrious for the very rich are all liders, so much so that they hire someone to invent ways to pass the time away, uo you think it is right for the per son who does the hardest work should receive the least pay? You know that is the rule at present but is it right? Would it bo an injury to you to introduce an economic system where every person would have equal opportunity? Now don't tell mo that condition obtains al present. I was told that when a child and while I couldn't quite see it, still I accepted the dogma and I meet people who still in sist on the idea. If I could have had the same opportunity as the young man who inhei'itted say five hundred dollars, when I nev er inherited one cent. I have not even had the same opportunity, as as you who had no more than a common school education. Then how far I must be behind the young college man. Ever think of it in that light? Now as a general principle the young man receiv ing the best education gets also a wad of money or property, lias such a person a double advantage over mo? Not long ago I beard a man who is on tho public payroll say ho did not take much interest in politics. Now the question comes up is the man ignorant of, what constitutes politics or did he no tico tho calloused hands I carry about and thought that rubbish would pass for all wool? He also upheld the good man idea politics. I suppose lie is the "good man." I told him I could not tell what ho would do tomorrow by what he did yesterday. When I si a bundle of rotten bonos I will call that a good man. lie can spoil his record. Did you ever stop to think that sixty-two years ago tho most western man was elected to Hie White House? That was then practically the frontier. Do you think that was an accident or do you think no capable man could bo found anywhero in the West Now there is something you might cogitate on if tho wheels aro not rustod or clogged so they won't go 'round. While you are about it think -a little farther as to why the solid south furnishe most of the Democratic votes and no southern man ever gets the nomination from thai parly. A well known advertiser says "There s a reason. IN THE DEVIL'S RIVER COUNTRY A BIT OF AMERICAN LIFE WE KNOW LITTLE OF. Good for Men and Dogs but Hell on Women and Horses. It looks to me and quite a number of others liko lour mor years of Grover." Have you for gotten what that was like? Then strange as it may seem, the only Democrat ie president in over six. ly years was really repudiated by his party. Kven Teddy received an endorsement at the last Nat ion Republican convention. In commenting on the prob ability of many congressmen get ting a vacation from the people in November, a noted correspond enl says: "It isn't going to help much if wo looso most of the ah lost men in Congress." That caused me to wonder Just what way the water would run. Just supposing, as a mailer of specu lation in tho realm of improbable every man hanging onto a poli tical teat should gel. jarred loose, would the laws of gravitation become unconstitutional; would tho music be lost to tho birds; would the scent of the roses cling to them still? I hoard a man say polities don't, bother me" yet lie voted on election day. Just, what he thot his vole was for; what it was worth to him if intelligently used did not seem lo occur to linn, hut polities bother the men of groat affairs. Those industrial captains know the value of a vole, why should you prizo it so low? Both old parties express them selves as satisfied with the tdeet ion results in Vermont and Maine and no complaint comes from Wall Street, so everybody is hap nv oxcent the working men and they are tho nobodies. They arc at least not heard from and none nrn ever elected to otllee I won der why. Have you noticed tho referen dum vote in Ohio? II seems the revolution is spreading, not real strong as yet but the adoption of direct legislation brings the day much nearer. Also murder in n legal manner got a set back. Unfortunately women are still in the same political class as insane and criminal persons; never mind the leaven is working I The barbed wire fence, the rail roads and the passing jot the free range are fast doing for the cowboy. Only of the railroadless rang-es of the far southwest can the real article be found, and with every year his domain grows more a'nd more contracted. The great open range is now shut in and cut up. Once it extended from Mexico to Montana, but now ev ery year it becomes smaller. Ihe genuine cowboy, born in ranch house and raised in a sad die, is by far tho most interesting study I have found in the south. west. Out there, far beyond the railroads, there is but one pur suit tne ;oy can ioiiow cow punching and the young Texan takes to the range as easily and naturally as does a preacher s son to vice, and as easily ho assimil ales the vagabond temperament of the range. He lives in the sad die, ho sleeps on the ground. His life is made up of horse, hat, sad die and spurs. Ever an interesting study I have made it convenient to be much with them. I have followed the chuck wagon for days, listen ed lo stories around their camp fires, eaten frijoles and bacon from tin plates, drank pot rock water, and risked taking on seam squirrels by rolling in the same blanket with a wadilie whose clothes had probably last been changed wilh the season and there are only two per year here. To wo who have been reared in the north in a country abound ing with comforts, this life of endless monotony, one occupat ion, exposure, hardship and oflen hunger and thirst makes one feel sorry for the bright, big hearted fellows, who aro fast wearing out their lives in a sphere bounded by a few coun- les, each as largo as New York State. Noticeably strange to mo when I first wont into that country, was the fact that tho cowboys were so young. I have never seen i working cowboy over tho forty five mark. The fact is easily un derstood now. There are no active fellows older. It is a pace that kills. At forty-five one is stiffen ed in every joint from the expos ure and constant riding, and un fit for tho work. But even should he be proof against this physical breakdawn, he is no longer of use, for the reason of having "horso fright." After about so many years tho cowboy loses his nerve and money cannot induce him to ride a fractious animal This nervousness is the begin. ning of tho end, dreaded by the cowboy, but as sure to come as old age. Here is a brief round-up of n cow boy's life a threo month s ound-up, we will say. lie has a cow horso, a native, tough ani mal that will go almost impos sible hours without water and grass; a saddle that has cost bun from $25 to $150, often fan ci fully decoratod, and covered with snake skins; a white broad- brimmed Stetson sombrero, $12; a pair of band made, high legged llodeman boots, $20; fancy bridle with $15 silver gal leg' bits: fancy hand-engraved and decor ated silver spurs; lonther pant aloons, pair of Navajo blankets, comforter, plenty of tobacco and a canteen. This is his outfit and one in which ho takes great pride. 1 bus equipped ho joins the out fit, and for threo months he is is olated from civilization, round ing up, drifting, branding, rust ling, foneo riding, hard, ex hausting, health breaking toil. In the cold, rainy weather of win ter when shelter and warmth are most needed, is Hie time of most exposuro and hardships. A flash of lightning, scratching of n mulch will stainpedo a bunch of hundreds of cattle, and away they go in I lie darkness, often breaking up and scattering over tit ley square miles. Tho cowboy jumps from Ins blankets and without a mouthful of food or water, gives chase, with no idea of when ho may again soo Ihe buck wagon. And often the liuse compels him to drink slag nant water from pot rocks, and keeping warm by burning sien weisia grass. 11 is food in camp is an endless round of fnjole, beans. bacon, biscuit and coffee, with an occasional can of tomatoes or orn. And such is the lffo, year after year, and lor which he gets n eoompenso of from $25 to $30 per month. Do you wonder that when ho does finally have a few- ays oil he makes for the uear- st cow town, fills up with booze, and shoots up the place? I imag ine ho fools, in an aggrevaled de gree, the same sensation I used to ben school was out for night, and when 1 could not find any port strenuous enough for a nt, I would hit some bov over the head and run. Tho difference these fellows don't run. They hit some fellow (o start the fun and then stay and see it, out. ntl they call all these town rows and shooting matches "seeing the liver lining lo tho clouds." Let a stranger mix up with a ow outfit, and while the utmost hospitably-will be shown him, yet he will be treated very frigidly Jor a time at least. As thev after ward expressed it lo me, thev wanted to got Die gait of the maverick." Once let them form an opinion that you are a city-. bred Yankee with a hard-boiled hat, looking down on them in curiosity from your social emi nence, and your relations with them will bo strictly confined to tho civil "yes, sir" and "no sir" or you will be tho object of so many jokes that; you will gladly shorten your stay. But on the other hand if a fellow will go it free and easy, eat the beans with out shying at hairs, bum tobacco for cigarettes, drink from the same canteen and not kick on the dog flees in his blanket, the boys will soon vote a "he's all right," and you have made friends in the full meaning of the word, friends who will stand by you through thick and thin. They enjoy ans wering questions, and will take the utmost pains to explain any thing you want to know, and I believe they can make more out of a simple little joke than any men on earth. For instance one afternoon I watched one of the boys hobble his horse, and just before we turned in that night I reminded him he had belter lake the rope off, thinking he had forgotten it. "Why," he asked? "So he can lie down," I replied and never will they stop telling this in Sutton county, lexas. And if a fellow will simply laugh wilh them, when he makes a break, he is strictly all right with the bunch. Around tho camp fire is where you see the cowboy at his best and worse natural.
