OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, NOV. 8, 1912
THE MAN WIIL COUNT.
Platforms and Parties will Soon
bo Relios of Past Politics.
One great predominating trait
with man is to be on the winning
side and that is wny parties
wear as long as they do.
Tuesday's election showed this,
as every election does.
A Socialist will forget his party
and vote with one of the old line
dominent parties for no other
reason than he thinks he can pick
the winner.
A Prohi. will preach it and talk
it 364 days in the year and then
vole with one of the old parties
because he does not want to "lose
his vote.
Taft Republicans split up and
voted with Roosevelt and Wilson
because they wanted their votes
to count.
And so it goes. Show a man
prospects of success and his pro
position looks good to you. It's
human nature to want to be
winner to follow the parade and
band and be able to say "1 told
vou ho." when it is all over.
Once in an age a proposition
will jump into almost instant
popularity but it is the rare ex
ception. As a rule all changes
come slow, very slow, and ace on
ly successful at the end of hard
work and long waiting,
let on the other hand-there
a growing inclination to try now
propositions, and the parties of
the future will oe far easier to
make. This is an age of thinking
and reasoning an age of re
forms and the trying of new
and the indications are that the
Beginning or the end of parties,
platforms and declarations has
commenced and that the declara
tions of the individual candidate
will take their places.
The American voter has learned
to his cost that party platforms
are flimsy afairs and not to be re
lied on, for the reason that the
men to be elected will not recog
nize them as binding; that they
had no voice in making them and
they will not support them.
And we are fast coming to that
time when it is the individual
candidate we must look to for
representation the man who will
come out before the election and
give an outline of his proposed
work as his platform.
You are going to see some rapid
changes in tho political programs
in the coming elections. The peo
ple begin to realize tho power of
public sentiment and the individ
ual vote.
Where Teddy Lost One
They tell tho story on a fellow
who came in to vote Tuesday but
he ran onto a fellow with a flask
on his hip and when Ho thought it
was about time to vote for Teddy
he wasn't just sure ho would be
able to find him on the ballot. So
his friends advised him to take a
sleep for an hour and then go
Bull Moose hunting. He did.
When he awoke it was nearly
dark, and ho tore down to the
polling place and asked the clerks
for a ballot. "Twelve hours too
late," the laughing election clerks
told him. "You are like Taft."
The man had slept all night and
it was just getting light Wednes
day morning. He thought it was
Tuesday night. They told him
Roosevelt was snowed under and
his voto wouldn't have saved him,
after which ho appeared to be
somewhat consoled for hiM lost
12 nours.
STOPPING THE RUNAWAY.
Rlsotrioal Device Used on a New York
Bridge to Cheok Horses.
On one of New York's big bridges
where runaways ure of frequent oc
currence bag been Installed a gnle tbut
makes the baiting of a runaway horse
a mere act of mechanical effort.
Installed about two years ugo on the
south roadway of the Williamsburg
bridge over the Rust river this "runu
way gate" bus slopped almost one bun
dred runaways, in uoue of which were
tbe animals seriously injured. The rue
ord Is lu striking contrast Willi that of
tbe gnle which was displaced. Tbe
old gate was simply a harrier across
the roadway, Into which the horse
crashed at full wd. It was effective
In stopping runuwaya, ending lives and
destroying property. Of tbo forty-two
runaways on tbe Williamsburg bridge
during the last yeur of tbe operation
of tbe old gates thirty were stopped by
this barrier, and of these thirty, seven
of tbe homes were killed Instantly,
while thirteen were badly Injured.
In merciful contrast the practice Is
Bow entirely different. Whereas for
merly tbe burrler was Immovable, the
new gate, which Is lu two parts, foruis
a V shaped chute, rorty-elgbt feet In
length, whose uioutb Is as wide as the
roadway. An aperture Is at tbe apex.
The terrified horse dushos Into the
chute and makes for the small opening,
but long before he reaches It he Bods
himself frantically pawing the air.
while unyielding force holds him In
check. .
Wbat has happened? Simply this:
Tbe narrowing aides of the chute bad
flipped tbe wagon at the front hubs
and brought It to a stop long before
tbe horse reached the point wlieru ho
came lu contact wltb the Umbers. All
tbe cheeking power had been applied
from tbe rear, and the animal found
himself shouldered with a burden he
could not move. It was a simple op
eration, and the horse escaped with
barely a scratch.
Beaching far out on the big apan la
a series of pusb buttons, and near
each of these a bridge pollcemau has
Us post When a runaway starts tbe
officer pushes a button which trans
mits tbe signal to the pollcemau at the
runaway gate. Warned of the oncom
ing danger, tbe bluecoat makes ready,
snd as the animal passes a certalu
point be throws over bis electric con
troller, and slowly the big gates swing
Into position. A seven and one-half
horsepower electric motor, operating a
worm gear and rack and plulou, to
which Is attached a steel arm, pushes
each of the gates Into position, where
they are held Immovable until the oltl
car la ready to open them. Edlsou a

But he who Jostles gilded sin and shame.
Yet will not sell his honor or his name.

With wisdom's followers has taken part.
But he who looks In Folly's tempting eyes
And turns away, perceiving her disguise.

A Puzzle to Pat.
An Irishman entered a ticket office
one day nnd Inquired wbat the fare
was to Chicago.
"Ten dollars," said tbe clerk. "But,
be added, "we are making a special
rate. By buying a round trip ticket
you can get It for $15."
The Irishman looked puzzled. A
round trip?"
"Yes," sold the clerk, "n round trip
to Chicago and back."

After William Jennings Bryan had
courted tbe beautiful Mary Bnlrd for
what be considered a sufliclent length
of time tbe commoner, then a strug'

the vital question to the father of the
future Mrs. Bryan. William, after
Anally downing tbe lump in his throat,
sought refuge In the Scripture.
"Mr.' Bnlrd, I have been reading
proverbs a good deal lately," said Mr.
Bryan, "and I Snd that Solomon says.
Whoso flndeth a wife flndetb a good
thing and obtnlnetb favor of the

Father Balrd, being Bomewbat of a
Bible scholar himself, replied. "Yes.
believe Solomon did say that but Poul
suggests that while be that mariietb

better."
Bryan, wbo never fans been at a loss
for an answer In nls spectacular life,
quickly replied, "Solomon would be tbe
better authority upon this polut because
Paul was never married, while Solo
mon bad a number of wives."
Whereupon Father Balrd capitulated.

Tom Hood's Test.
The following story Is one which Tom
Hood was ratber fond of relating:
He was once asked to contribute to a
new Journnl, not exactly gratuitously,
but at a small advunce upon uothing.
He accepted the terms conditionally
that Is to say, provided the principle
could be properly carried out
Accordingly he wrote to bis butcher,
baker and other tradesmen, Informing
them that It was necessary for the sake
of cheap literature and the Interest of
the reading public that they should In
future furnish blm with their several
commodities at a trifling percentage
above cost price.
It will be sufficient to quote the an
swer of tbo butcher:

In bis book of reminiscences the

story of a missionary meeting that
was being held In a small village In
England.
Tho vicar of the parish, Mr. Ingham.
was a very energetic man. indeed,
bis energy was deemed by some of bis
parishioners as somewhat Intrusive.
At the meeting a missionary gave a
vivid account of the cannibal habits
of some trlle to which missionaries
had gone and among whom some had
mot tholr death.
The missionary described a native

large pie had appeared. Desirous of
reaching the climax of the tragedy by
slow stages of heightening Interest, he
dwelt upon the pie nnd then upon Its
central ornament. What was It? A
linger a human finger!
"And whose finger do you think It
was?" be demanded In thrilling tones.
and paused dramatically.
The chain was too good to he
missed, snd one of the villagers
promptly told him. "I'll warrant It
were Parson Ingham's finger, for he
has It in everybody's pie!"

WANTED A REAL LAWN.
8o He Had It Planted With Real Grass
8eed and Got s Surprise.
"Tad" Dorgan, the cartoonist, Is
blessed by the friendship of many lr
responsibles. Last spring Dorguu began
to pay taxes on an eligible sea front
property at Bayslde, L. I. Tbe Irre
sponslbles hurried down to spend a
few week ends wltb blm as soon as
they heard about It. They were pained
to notice that the lawn was abso
lutely grassless. They spoke about It
to "Tad." "I had all the grass taken
away," said tbat young man. "I'm
going to have some real grass seed
sown so that I'll have a luwu people
Will come miles to see."
Tbe lrresponslbles accompunled him
to town and helped him buy the grass
seed. Between times they slipped In a
few packages of beet seed, onion seed
and other spring vegetables. When
Dorgan offered that package of seed lo
his gardener the worthy Celt was hor
rified. He tried to tell his employer
that something had gone wrong.
"Nix on tbat conversation. Patrick."
said Mr. Dorgan "That seed Is all
right, because I bought It. 1 didn't hire
you for your gifts or repartee or be
cause you have n bunch of theories
about lawns. When I want some In
structions about grass seed I'll hire a
professor. Now go to It and sow thut
seed."
So the gardener went lo It. and two
weeks later, when Mr. Dorguo paid
another visit to bis summer home, be
found a Waldorf salad growing In his
front yard. Here nnd there sunflowers
were sprouting and cabbages were
starting, and three or four green shoots
the gardener said were beech trees
were well under way. The lrrespon
slbles come down to see bow "Tad"
took It He seemed well pleased

some of the finest young radishes you

Faster Than the Wind.
A near race riot happened in a south
ern town. Tbe negroes gathered In one
crowd and the whites in uuotber. Tbe
whites fired their revolvers into tbe air.
and the negroes took to their heels.
Next day a plantation owner said to
one of bis men, "Sam, were you In thai
crowd that gathered lust night?"
"Yasslr." "Did you run like the wind,
Sam?" "No sir. I didn't run like the
wind, 'deed I didn't But I passed two
negroes tbut was running like tbe
wind."

. ROLLING
GOLD PIECES
By TERENCE J. OTOOLE
"Mike, ye poor divll. why don't ye go
to Amerlky?"
Tbe words were spoken by a country
squire In TIpperary county, Ireland, to
Mike Doolan, one of bis poorest ten
ants.
"What would 1 go there for?" In
quired Mike.
"Why, man, don't ye know that In
that counthry tbe gold pieces are
rollln' around lverywhere?"
Mike scratched his bead. "Well."
be said presently, "If that's so I'll go.
Llnd me the money for tbe voyage
and as soon as I get to Amerlky I'll
pick up enough gold pieces rollln
around to slnd back the loan."
Tbe squire laughed.
"Mike," he Said more seriously, "all
as smart a man as you needs Is a
chance. I'll pay the passage of ye and
Bridget and the kids, and ye needn't
send It back at all."
Mike accepted the offer and went to
America. Tbe squire beard nothing
from him and bad forgotten blm wben
one morning while sitting at bis desk
writing he looked up and saw a man
dressed In a fur coat and with a soli
taire diamond stickpin In bis scarf
standing looking down on him.
"Wbat can I do for you, Bir?" asked
the squire.
"Nothing. You done It long ago."
He pulled a wallet from his pocket
counted out a number of gold pieces
and laid them on tbe desk.
"What's that?" asked the squire.
"Didn't ye llnd tt to me to take me
to Amerlky? And didn't ye tell me
I'd find gold pieces rollln' around
there? Weil. I did. I kem back to
return the loan."
"You don't mean to say that you're
Mike Doolan?"
"I do." -
"And found gold pieces rolling around
in America?"
"I did that same."
"Tut Mike, ye're funnln'. Sit down
and tell me bow yet got rich."
Mike took a chair and told bis story.
"Ye remember, sor, tbat me trade
was a mason. Well, as soon as I got
to Amerlky I got a Job and went to
work. I didn't see any gold pieces roll
ln' around, but I thought me time for
tbat hadn't come yet. I found a shan
ty on a road near a city and used to
go In every day to work.
"Well, one evenin' I was walkln'
borne covered wltb mortar whin a rag
ged, dlrtby lookin' filly stopped me and
says, says be:
" 'Are ye a mason?"
"'Faith I am,' says I.
" 'If ye'll let me blindfold ye I'll give
ye a Job.'
" 'For how much payr
" 'Somethln' more valuable than
money.'
" 'Go on.'
"He blindfolded me and led me along
for awhile. I counted my steps. Thin
he turned me to the right and went on.
I beglnnln' to count me steps ag'in
Then be led to tbe roight, I still count-
In' till he stopped, and turned me
round and round and took me Into a
house and down Into the cellar. He
showed me a little room about 6 by
9. with no door to It. All there was
In It wos a coffin shaped box. Brick
and mortbar was bandy, and tbe seedy
man tould me to wall up tbe openln'.
I done It and put one o' the bricks tbe
flftb from tbe floor on me left a little
furder In than the rest so I'd know
it again.
"Wben finished the seedy man blind
folded me again and took me around
and, leaving me, says:
" 'Stand till ye bear a shot then take
off the bandage and ye'll find tbe pay
for the Job at your feet'
"When I bears tbe shot I took off tbe
bandage, and there at me feet was me
pay shure enough. It was a paper
with wrltln' on it: 'Only a fool
works for nothln'.'
"I went borne and wrote down the
figures of me steps, and of a Sunda'
I blindfolded meself and wlnt over
the ground, countln' me steps I
found a house standln' above with no
body In It and In tbe cellar I knowed
me Job by tbe brick out of place. Me
curiosity bein' satisfied, I thought no
more about It bat long aftber. when
me lease expired, I remembered this
house and rented It
"Like a fool, I tould Bridget tbat
there was a corpse In tbe cellar, and
she wouldn't let me rest till I'd pulled
down tbe brick wall I'd put up and
taken tbe coffin out While we was
carry In' It somethln' dropped on' the
cellar floor.
"'Mike.' says Bridget, 'look at the
yellow boys rollln' on the floor.'
"'Shure, me tolme's come,' I says
The squire was right The coffin was
full of 'em.
"I hunted tor tbe man that bad
beaten me out of tbe pay for me Job
and found that be was a miser. I con
cluded to take me pay out of the box
and give blm the rent when he come
home. I bought all the property round
about and they built n railroad through
it, and I'm rich."
The squire sat wltb eyes and mouth
wide open till Mike bad finished, then
burst Into a laugh.
"But suppose tbe miser returns?" be
suggested.
"What do I care? The gold 1 found
In the coffin Is nothln' to what I made
speculatluV Rut I reckon he's dead, or
be wouldn't leave bis money so long
Like enough he put It In there to be
gone ou n Journey, and I don't think
he'll come hack."

rHE study today shows tbat the
Pharisees of eighteen centuries
e ago, while professing to keep
carefully the Divine Law, and
even boasting of faithfulness In this
respect had gradually gotten away
from God's Word and become follow
ers of human tradition. And surely
the same Is true of Christians today.
Tbe Bible Is tbe recognized Authority,
but each denomination of Christians
has Its own- theory, its own proof-texts,
Its own catechism. Wben tbe Bible Is
reud tbe gloss or Interpretation of tbe
accepted creed Is before tbe mind and
veils It Thus it is that with Bibles In
our bands Christians are divided into
six hundred different sects, with verj
little prospect of
coming together, be
cause each one In
sists upon using his
own creedal spec
tacles In the stud
of tbe Bible.

would not all Chris-'
tlans cast aside and
destroy these creed

rated us, given false "Hold fast th faith-
coloring to various
passages of God's Word and confused
our minds In general? Would It not
be following Heavenly counsel and
Heavenly wisdom to take a different
course and to begin a study of the
Word of God afresh In the light which
shines from one page upon another?
Eating With Unwashed Hands.
In this lesson tbe Pharisees Inquired
why the followers of Jesus were not
Instructed along tbe lines of the Tat
mud to be very careful to always
wash their bands before eating, as a
religious duty. .
Answering tbe Pharisees on these
points, Jesus said to them, You are
the holy people mentioned by Isaiah
the Prophet, saying, 'This people seek-
eth Me with their lips, but tbelr heart
is far from Me. But in vain do ye
worship Me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.1
Jesus gave them an example of bow
they neglected the Divine command
ments while giving so much attention
to ceremonial washings, commanded,
not of God, but of the Talmud: Tbe
Mosaic Law commanded tbat fatbor
and mother should be honored and that
be that spoke evil of either should be
put to death. But this command had
been changed by the Talmud and any
man might be free from bis parents
by consecrating himself and substance
to God and religious uses. Having
done so, according to tbe Talmud, he
was freed from all obligations to bis
parents. Thus tbey bad made God's
direct commandment null and void.
This was tbe conflict between tbe
teachings of Jesus and of the Pharl
sees. Both claimed holiness and strict
observance of the Divine Law, but
Jesus held to the Word of God and re
jected the Talmud, the traditions of
tbe Elders, and the Pharisees neglect
ed tbe Word of God and beld to tbe
traditions. Wbat are we as Christians
doing today? "Let us bold fast tbe
faithful Word," 'The Word of God,
which Is able to make us wise." Let
as search tbe Scriptures dally and
critically, and abandon . everything
which conflicts therewith.

Tbe Gentiles wbo came Into mem
bership in tbe Body of Christ were
not required to conform themselves to
tbe demands of tbe Jewish Law. For
Instance, a Jew, according to tbe Law,
might not eat fish tbat bad no scales,
mackerel, etc., neither might be eat
rabbit meat nor pork, and In a variety
of other ways be was restrained and
limited In bis eating nnd drinking. But
none of thee restraints apply to Chris
tians wbo have come from amongst
the Gentiles and wbo never have been
under tbe Law Covenant. Transform
ed by tho renewing of tbelr minds,
tbey have come to appreciate and love
righteousness and truth. These things
they prize and not specially the priv
ilege of eating pork or some other
thing forbidden to tbe Jews Joy in
tbe Holy Spirit, fellowship with tbe
Fa flier and with tbe Son and with all
who possess tbe spirit of righteous
ness. Is the privilege of every member

Shin Just Where You Are.
Don't waste your dine In longing
For bright, Impossible things
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of wings.
Don't spurn to be a rushlight
Because you are not a star.
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining Just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest, candle
As well as the garish sun.
Tbe humblest deed is ennobled
Wben It is worthily done,
tou may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar.
Bo fill for the day your mission
By shining Just where you are.

A Lesson In German.
A story Is going the rounds about a
rather inexperienced theatrical man
ager who went over to Germany re
cently to see If there were any good
musical plays to be had. He stayed
one night in Frankfort, and on glanc
ing through the
theatrical adver
tisements he
saw, under the
beading of the
opera bouse. In
large letters.

American friend

The friend look

for a minute and
then replied, "I

The manager dashed off to the
opera house to book a seat, and as
he drew near he saw that the place
was plastered with announcements of
"Geschlossen." and he became quite
excited.
But he knows now that "g-eschloe-
sen" is not the name ot a new opera,
but simply the German for "closed."

REMOVES BURNED GASES.
Devioe For Cleaning ' Motor Cylinders
of Combustion Produots.
The time available for the removal
ef the products of combustion after
the power stroke In tbe motor Is too
short to permit of complete scavenging.
Bow to realize tbe best possible condi
tion of getting rid of burnt gases Is tbe
problem. In view of tbe fact tbat the
piston does not sweep the whole space,
some of tbe mixture, after It Is burn
ed, must depart under the force of pres
sure, says tbe Automobile Dealer and
Repairer. After the terminal pressure
dies out the part of tbe gas that is usu
ally left behind Is thut which accounts
for bad scavenging.
It has been found lu practice that
the scavenging condition tuny Iih im

haust side of each cylinder of tbe, mo
tor and a receiver, us Bhown lu the

cylinder, B the Individual exhaust
pipe, C the receiver and D the arm.
In this plan, owing to tbe small diam
eter of tbe connecting pipe, thp speed
of the departing exhaust product la ac
celerated, und the exhausting "fluid"
is compacted, Tbe gas molecules seem
to persist In accompanying each ntber
on the Journey, and the tull of tbe gas
body follows the head, and In this way
the rarefied gas in the combustion
chamber ut tbe tall end of the exhaust
ing period follows In the train of tbe
departing fluid, thus more or less com
pletely scuveuglng the spnee. It has
been found under certain well defined
conditions that a vacuum will reside in
the cylinder after the exhaust leaves,
which vacuum very readily fills with
the incoming mixture.
WEIGHT OF OUR RAINFALL
Enormous Volume of Water Preoipl-
tated In the United States. - I
George A. Lindsay, writing In the
"Transactions of the Academy of Sci
ence of St. Louis." gives some interest
ing statistics of the rainfall of the
United Stutes not expressed In tbe
conventional Inches of depth, but In
the aggregate volume and weight of
the moisture tbat fulls annually over a
given area. To any one who is famil
iar only with the customary method of
stating rainfall It Is somewhat star
tling to leurn. for Instance, that 43.9
cubic miles of ralu fell In Missouri
during tbe year 1890. This Is decided
ly more Impressive than the statement
that tbe rainfall was about forty
inches. ,
la the same year 1,29(3.4 cubic miles
of water is computed to have fallen
over the whole area of the Cnlted
States, and tbe average annual rain
fall is somewhat greater thau this
vis, 1.308 cubic miles, welghlug 0.000,
000,000,000 tons. As an Illustration of
the fact tbat most of tbe water that
falls as rain never reaches the sea
through tbe medium of drainage, but Is
evaporated from the In ml. Mr. Lindsay
shows thut tbe discharge of the Mis
sissippi river at St. Louis Is but little
greater than tbe volume of rainfall
over the state of Missouri alone de
spite tbe enormous urea drained by tbe
river above that point
