JUST UP
AND
AT THEM AGAIN
NO DEFEAT IN THE RECENT
SINGLE TAX VOTE.
Prejudice and Fright will Give
Way to Reason In Time.
Editor Courier: ,
I suppose the Courier readers
on the anli side of the single
tax fence think that the Fels pro
paganda is now a dead one and
that the so called snake of the
. Orogonian cartoon will always
hang limp across the big stick
that smote him. Never was there
a greater mistake. It will live to
defend honest, legitimate wealth
and labor by giving a bite to spec,
ulative and monopolistic parasit
es from which they will never re
cover. The operation of the virus
will be slow but never-the-less
sure and certain.
The vote in favor of single tax
was more than reasonably could
have been expected considering
the involved revolution in thought
and action, the short time in
which it had been before the peo
ple, the mass of prejudice, miss,
understanding, suspicion and fear
to overcome, and last but not
least, the thorough organization
and heavy capitalization of the
opposing interests. They well
knew that if it should once be tri
ed there would be no going back
to travel the old road and so the
mails were flooded with govern
ment ownership scare crows and
wonderfully imaginative pictures
of calamitous conditions. These
pictures were painted in glowing,
lurid colors equal to those used
by chairman Hillis in full page
ads. in the farm papers to try to
secure farmers into voting for
Taft.
There was a lime when Mark
Ilanna and others used that scare
business very successfully. It
worked this time but it was back
action and scared the voters into
the Wilson ranks. Just so with
the single tax proposition. The
people will get wise in the course
of one or two campaigns and will
be scared at their enemies and
not at their true friends.
It was unfortunate for the
cause of true justice and right
that Henry George; in tho form
ative period of his career, when!
he wrote "Progress and Poverty,"
uuopieu me principle 01 govern
ment ownership of land which
was then common with economic
philosophers. He discovered that
ii was nicompaiiDie wan nis doc
trine that the laborer should own
the entire product of his labor
ana he repudiated it. Single taxers
do not believe in it. teach it, or
put it in practise where they are
in control. And yet we are contin
ually being told that we cannot
possibly get outside of that one
book, and that it is our unalter
able constitution and guide.
We are also told there is a
mysterious and powerful "They"
behind the scenes, who could, and
would compel government owner
ship in spite of the peoples' de
sires. Therefore vote against any
thing and everything you may
suspect "They" have proposed.
A single defeat like this has no
discouraging effect on one who
has received his political training
in the hard camp of the Demo
cratic party. It only nerves him to
greater effort.
I have been a voter since 1879
and every vote I have cast has
been agains-t a protective tariff.
We have been lonesome for many
years but now a heavy tide of
voters are with us. I have voted at
every opportunity for woman's
suffrage and among other dis
couragements was told there had
been a steadily decreasing vote
for it in Oregon. NowJt has ar
rived and in three other states as
well. I have also voted for prohi
bition for many years. So you see
it would be expected that I should
be discouraged at the first defeat
of the measure which carried so
large a vote, I believe one third
the total.
Taxation should be a matter of
reciprocity. Men should he taxed
according to what they receive
from the government in the way
of opportunity and privilege, pro.
vided monopoly enjoyed and not
according to the accumulation
from their own labor. This is the
rule in private business ana sin
gle tax simply proposes to ex
tend the principle to tho assess
ment and collection of taxes.
There have been no good and suf
ficient reasons given why this
should not be done.

Clarkes Farmers Organize.
On the evening of Nov. 6 the
farmers of Carus met at the
school house and listened to a
very interesting and instructive
address by Mr. H. L. Cutting, up
on the subject of "The Farmers'
Society of Equity." Although it
was a very stormy and disagree
able night the Carus Local was
organized with 16 charter mem
bers. Officers were elected as follows:
T. L. Sinclair President; Alfred
Spangler Vice. Pres; S. L. Casto,
Secy, and Treas.
Mr. Cutting will-meet with us
again on next Saturday night,
Nov. 16, at 7:30 P. M. It is pre
sumed that the charter will be
held open for any persons who
wish to become members at this
time.
All farmers should come out to
this meeting.
Porto Rico's New Wonder.
From far away Porto Rico
come reports of a wonderful new
discovery that is believed will
vastly benefit the people. Ramon
T. Marchan, of Barceloneta,
writes "Dr. King's New Discov
ery is doing splendid work here.
It cured me about five times of
terrible coughs and colds, also
my brother of a severe cold in his
chest and more than twenty oth
ers, who used it on my advice.
We hope this great medicine will
yet be sold in every drug store in
Porto Rico." For throat and lung
troubles it ha3 no equal. A trial
will convince you of its merit.

The presidential election is a

been elected president and still
the world moves and we hope, in
spite of the dissatisfied croakers,
that the existing statt of affairs
fairly prosperous times, work
for all, etc., may continue. And
why should not times continue

ministration of governmental af

The long continued rain has
caused farmers to get far behind
with their fall work and should
the weather settle, farmers would

there will be a call for all the idle

CHEAP PIPE WRENCH.
Combination of Strap and Levar Effoo-
tiva and. Safe.
, Quite, frequently It becomes neces
sary to have n pipe wrench, especially
for brass tubing, that will nut mar the
work nud yet ut the same lime will
permit or using sufficient force to pro
dure the required results without
crushing the tubing. ' '
Fig. 1 shows one of the cheapest,
simplest and yet most efficient of pipe
wrenches. It consists of two parts a
piece of hard wood about I'jXl'jXIS
and a piece of strong two inch leather
belting about three feet long. The
strap should be riveted to the wood
with rivet heads well sunk below the
surface of the wood on the side oppo
site the strup side of the lever. The
loose end of the 'strap should have
holes punched at Intervals of one luch
or so to make It adjustable to the
work with the stud on the opposite side
of the bar. The strap should be turned

down over the eud of the lever, then
up and around the work and back
along the top of the lever and uround
tue opposite end, where It Is fastened
to the stud ou the underside. The ob
ject of throwing the strap around the
end of the lever rather than to fasten
It at the eud Is to Insure a muxlmum
amount of pull ou the strap with a
minimum strain where It Is fastened to
the stud. Use this device like any oth
er pipe wrench. To release the wrench
for another pull simply pull It away
from the pipe far. enough to' allow it
to loosen Its grip and begin for the
oew pull by simply repeating the first
operation. The end of tbe strap must
not be taken from tbe stud after It is
adjusted until tbe operation of turning
tbe pipe is completed.
With tbe use of this wrench an even
strain is placed upon tbe tubing on Us
entire surface without nny possible
danger of marring or crushing It.
With a few trials the work can be
done as quickly aa wltb an open pipe
wrench. Scientific American.

A Scientific
Experiment
By W1LLARD BLAKEMAN
When tbe Franco-Prussian war broke
out Edward' Penton, a young American
medical student who, on account of
yjjuth. had escaped being cither killed
by ammunition or disease In the great
struggle that had ended five years be
fore In his own country, went to Ger
many and through the Influence of the
American minister was accepted as
assistant surgeon with rank of lieuten
ant. After the battle of Gravelotte,' when
all the medical staff was most needed,,
word was brought to Dr. Snediekcr,
medicnl director of the Prussian army,
that the American had deliberately in
sulted a medical officer of his owu
rank and that a duel was to be fought
between the two. '
"This is very wrong," exclaimed the
doctor with a scowl. "These two
young men may both bo disabled, and
we have not now enough physicians to
take care of the wounded."
"And yet doctor, the challenge hav
ing passed, there is no way out of it.
Both would have to leave the army if
they did not fight."
"They don't fight duels in America,"
said Dr. Snedicker. "Bend this Ameri
can to me."
Penton reported, and the doctor en
deavored to persuode him to apologize.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, doctor,"
Penton replied. "I'll agree to Are an
Imaginary shot at him, and If he is not
killed at the first Are 1 will apologize
to him."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Permit the duel on the following
terms: Make two tablets, both harm
less. Announce that one contains a
deadly poison. The principals each
choose a tablet Convince my oppo
nent, Lieutenant Berkhalter, that he
has chosen the poisoned one,"
"If that will satisfy you. proceed."
As soon as. the wounded were at
least temporarily provided for Dr.
Snedicker called a number of medi
cal officers Into his tent and, Inst of
all, the participants of the' duel. He
showed tbeni two pellets exactly alike
In appearance, announcing that one
was harmless while the other contain
ed prussic acid. Tho one containing
the poison would have the taste of the
kernel of peach stones "And now,
gentlemen," concluded the doctor,
"choose. It is better for this army to
have one live surgeon than two dis
abled ones."
Berkhalter bravely stepped up to his
superior, put his hand Into a glnss
tumbler and took out one of two tab
lets. Penton took the remaining one.
Then at a word from the commander
each put his tablet In his mouth. An
officer banded each a glnss of water,
which he was required to drink in or
der to make sure, tljat he had swal
lowed his dose. '
Berkhalter turned pale, fie had rec
ognized the taste of prussic add given,
him by his superior One of the offi
cers stepped up to the doomed man
and said:
"If you have anything to say. say It
quick. The poison acts at once."'
"I have only to say that 1 propose to
die as an officer of the Prussian army
should," replied the plucky doctor.
At the same time be felt his legs
giving way under him. and he sank
Into the arms of his second, who car
ried him to an army cot and laid him
upon it Penton went to him and of
fered him his hand.
"1 envy you." he said, "your oppor
tunity to show your bravery. I would
not have you die without withdrawing
the offensive wordR I spoke to you."
But Berkhalter had pissed into un
consciousness. "Are you gatlslled?" nsked Dr. Sned
icker to Penton. ,
"Walt a moment Ills Imagination
cannot act while he is unconscious. lie
will revive presently."
Snedicker was disposed to put an
end to the matter before It should be
too late, but n German is nothing if
not an Investigator, and he was con
tent to grant the request on the ground
of science.
Presently Berkhalter opened bis eyes;
but, seeing a group of officers stand
ing over him, watching blm die. he
closed them again
One of the medical men present went
to the cot and placed bis hand on
Berkhnlter's heart, then looked anxious
ly at the American. '
"A few minutes," he said, "will place
him beyond the pale of revival."
Penton whlppei n vial from his pock
et and, removing the stopper, held It
under bis antagonist's nose. Berkhal
ter again opened his eyes.
"Tell him." said Penton and Immedi
ately left the tent .
"Doctor," said Snedicker, "you have
not swallowed poison. The duel has
been turned Into a scientific demonstra
tion. Neither tablet contained poison."
"Where Is, the cursed American?"
cried Berkhalter, standing erect "I
shall kill him!"
"Here Is a written apology."
"I want no apology. I shall kill"
A corporal came In, but Berkhalter
bad no mind to be handled by nn en
listed man and subsided.
Penton received a warning from bis
commander that he had better keep
out of his late opponent's way If be
didn't wish to die a violent death. In
stead of doing so, the next time be saw
his enemy be approached him wltb
outstretched band.
"These Americans." said Berkhalter.

The Cause
Of the Spat
By RUTH GRAHAM
"I have made up my mind to leave
you," said the wife to her husband.
"On what ground?"
"Incompatibility."
"Do you menu that I am incompatible
with you or you with mo?"
"1 menu that you are Incompatible
with mo."
"Will you make that a plna for di
vorce?" ' , ',
"I shall not apply for a divorce. Do
you suppose that 1 am going to permit
you after ruining my life to walk off
with some other woman?" '
"What am I to do?" 1
"Do what you like, only yon will not
be free to supply the place which you
asked mo to pecupy and which I ac
cepted lu good faith." ., (,
"Well, then, I shall go to housekeep
ing. This boarding Is In a measure ac
countable for your irritation."
"My irritation! I like that! But isn't
your going to housekeeping locking tbe
stable door after the horse bus been
stolen?". , ,
"I think It rather a case of runaway.
You have takeu the bit in your teeth
and are kicking the dashboard to
pieces."
"Do you consider that n proper simile
to apply to your wife?"
"When are you going to leave?"
"When I get ready."
"I have the same right.. I shall leave
when I get ready, and I shall be ready
as soon as I cuu find a house. Wait a
minute." 1
Ue stepped to the telephone and ask
ed a real estate agent If the house of
fered a week before was still unreuted,
the wife listening to one-half the dia
logue. "All right," be said, hanging up the
receiver. "I Bhall be ready with my
part of the separation tomorrow. I
have taken that house we were of
fered last 'week."; -
"Who Is to keep house for you?"
, "A housekeeper."
"What housekeeper?"
"Why should that concern you since
you hnve decided to leave me?"
"It concerns me very much. I don't
propose people shall say that I have
been turned out to moke room for an
other." . ,
"I shall not discuss that matter with
you now. I'm going around to the house
to have a look at It"
"I think I'll go with you."
, "Very well; if you insist, come on."
They walked past the agent's, pot the
key and went to the bouse. Neither
spoke a word on the way. T! bouse
was furnished. The wife did the talk
ing as to the appointments. ,
"The sitting room Is attractive." she
said, "and the little parlor on the
other Bide of the hall is plenty large
enough for formal visits. The butler's
pantry Is nice too; What n roomy
kitchen! And the laBt occupant has
left It neat as n pin. Every pot shines.
The upstairs, too, Is light and roomy.
I always did like these brass bed
steads. They're sq bright and cheerful
looking. What a lovely bathroom
tiled all through and not n bit of that
elegant porcelain chipped! These bed
rooms are all beautifully furnished, and
tho rugs are not a bit worn. And the
hardwood Doors bo easy to keep clean!
Tho outlook from, the front bedroom
is delightful. :., I shall have It for my
own." . . .
"What's that?".
"I mean I would occupy It if 1 had
not been forced" tremulously "by
your 111 treatment to leave you "
"This will be my houskeeper's room."
"Your housekeeper! Her room should
be In the garret" .. .
"It shall bo right here."
"Are you going to have your house
keeper roomed 'hotter than your wife?"
"My wlfo makes her own tied, and I
suppose she must lie in It"
"Il'm. . Perhaps, now, you will tell
me who Is to bo your housekeeper."
"Don't bother about whom I select to
take caro of the premises. I shall hnve
a worann older than myself so thut per
sons will not talk about me.''
"Whom, for Instance?"
"Well, I think the Widow Scott would
like the position."
"The Widow Scott! Well. 1 declare!"
"Wbot'e the matter with her?"
"I wish you to distinctly understand
that I don't propose to turn you over
to any such person."
"Suppose you name some one."
"To occupy this room?"
"Of course."
."No one occupies this room but me."
"But how cuu you occupy It if yen
are going to leave me?"
"Since-you'vo taken this house and it
looks so nice and cozy and comfortable,
with such pretty furniture and soft

requirements of an emergency. It
goes without saying that the raw ma
terial must bo easily accessible and
the price ns low as possible.
All these demands ore adequately
met by a gum compounded of rosin
and vaseline, and the ginn can bo
made In any wafer tight dish which
may be heated over nn open tire. One
part of vaseline and four parts of
rosin, by weight, heated until dissolv
ed In each other will give n gum
which, at Hummer temperature. Is soft
and easily dented. This Is the con
sistency required for a gum to prevent
crumbling In cold wafers, such as Lake
Superior.
, A material compounded of 10 per cent
vaseline and DO per rent rosin Is quite
brittle when cold. However, In warm
er waters farther south this gum Is
sufficiently pliable and does not soften
or melt readily in the sun.
Addition of rosin makes the gum
harder uud more brittle: adding more
vaseline makes If softer and tougher,
go that nny 'consistency may be had
from the hardness of rosin to the soft
ness of vaseline.
The above Ingredients compounded
In the proportions of 10 to 20 per cent
of vaseline and 0Q to 80 per cent of
rosin will answer all the requirements
Of a first class canoe gum It may be
carried In a tin or wrapped In paper,
and It mells easily over the flame of
a match and sticks like glue to wann
ed surfaces. Any coloring matlor may
be stirred Into the hot liquid gum For
example, Chinese blue gives a bluish
green color, red lend gives a brilliant
red, nnd chrome green yields n bril
liant green. The best proportions are
one part of mineral pigment to one part
of gum. The addition of pigments
