sures a wet and dry vide in the
state at the next election.
Woodburn Independent,
I note that a dozen new obstac
les have been dug up that wil
delay the transfer of the lock
here to the government. This
matter will probably be settled
about the time Wilson gels hi
second term. These big deal
don t come every day, and o
course the lawyers want to make
tnem last as long as possible.
Big interests did much to boost
on the panic that Grover Cleve
land heired in his second admin
istration by arousing and culti
vating distrust. There are indi
cations this ic, going to be tried
again, but I don't believe it will
work. And it will bo a mighty ex
pensive experiment at this stage
The people won't stand for made
panics.
Should Judge Beatie receive the
appointment of U. S. Marshall
for Oregon Governor West will
have to appoint a judge to fill the
vacancy until the 1912 election
and it has been hinted to the
Courier that some of our Demo
cratic prominents are finding
business at Salem quite often
these days, and that incidentally
they drop in and tell the govern
or how they stood behind him on
the matter of aholishing capital
punishment and how they are
witn mm on nis vice crusade.
Ton states now give the balk
to women, Wyoming Colorado
Utah, Idaho, Washington, Califor
nia, Kanpas, Arizona, Oregon ami
Michigan, j nere is an old saying
mat nothing suceeds like success.
When a movement begins to get
size anu sirengi.n, trie rest is
easy.
In nearly every state the people
are pounding on the doors of the
legislature for a vote on this
matter, and it is but a nueslion o
how long before every state will
give women, equal voting rights
wun men,
wnat inis country needs is
full court justice, and then there
will bo a mighty lot less of un
rest and rebellion bv the ueonlo
What the people demand is euual
justice the same punishment
nanuea out to trio trust law deli
ers in our high courts as is givon
10 excise law ueners in our court
ty courts. And wo get hair-splitt
ing decisions on technicalities
dug up by ou r supreme com
judges to defeat, rather than to
defend law. And as long as the
politicians and interests make
these judges, just so long will we
get decisions that tell us there is
no , shoo combinations or price
nxing in our country.
Presidont-elect Wilson snys he
will call an extra session ol con
gress immediately after his in
augeration to tako up tariff revis
ion and keep the promises made
to the peoplo. That this spocial
session will start a panic is sill
iness unless it bo a inndo-to
order panic. And if our country is
in stion u condition that our
trusts can givo us hard Minos any
timo they caro to, then the soon
er we know it the better. But the
probabilities are it will not make
a ripple on business affairs. Tar
iff protection where it pinches one
anu rattens another will ho re
viseu, uur, we are not going to
have any free trade, scare stunts
That Portland scandal would
shame beasts II. doesn't seem
possible that men could degener
ate to such low levels. ,
And under arrest are doctors,
lawyers, business men men with
gray heads.
The mutter is too beastly for
publication. The details are rot
ten, horrible, until to think of.
And yet Governor West is son
sured for his vice crusade in that
city.
It is to bo hoped that this mat
ter will be probed to the very bot
tom and that every human animal
connected with it will go down to
Salem for the long term.
Oregon owes this to the protec
tion of its boys.
Household
A cheeking account ia a great conven
ience aud a means of economy for the

of household checking accounts on our
books, and we know that the checking
privilego has been a very great advant

EDITOR
Governor West has paroled W.
Cooper Morris, the convicted
Portland banker, and I believe
this leniency is another slip- in
the cogs of justice.
Morris was convicted of em
bezzling $75,000 from the Ore
gon Trust & Savings bank in
Portland.
He has served a few months in
prison and now he is paroled and
will now start a lruit ranch.
Six months in prison for steal
ing 75,000.
And last week in Portland a
man was given a life sentence for
stealing 27.
What do you think of these two
cases' . .
Ella Wheeler Wilcox said
something in a little jingle once
It ended thusly:
"Steal, if you get a million,
For you'll get out on bail.
It's the great big thief
That eels out mi lief.
While the little one goes to
jail."
Morris should have done good
long time for his part in wreck
ing this bank, and in my judge
ment Governor West winked at
justice when he let him out.
Tlio governor says he was the
goat oi tne hank scandal and otu
ers were as guilty as he.
But it doesn't take any of the
guilt from , Morris that others
were equally-guilty. It is simply a
reproach on our officials and
courts.
I believe it was a big mistake t
sentence a man to life imprison
ment last week for stealing $27,
and I believe it was a bigger one
to release a $75,000 thief alter
six months imprisonment.
It has reached a timo in Oregon
whore it isn't worth while to con
vict a man. If he is of any conse
quence he is released. We see
thiH paroling everywhere we see
it in this city almost every month.
These men are found guilty and
they are sentenced. Now if these
sentences are fit 1 punishment for
tlio crimes WHY aren't they pun
ished? What is the use of burning
up money to prosecute them if
they are not to servo their sen
tences ?
This parole business is becom
ing a joke. It is being overwork
ed and is defeating justice. It
puts a premium on crime.
Morris should have served ev
ery day of the limit of his sen
tence ten years. You may argue
that six months was as much
punishment as ten years for a
man of Morris' standing, but I
want to tell you it wasn't as much
as ten years to the rascals who
will come after him. It was no
warning to the fellows who are
figuring on cracking a bank.
And now just watch and see if
William Wilson, the man who
Judge McGinn gave life impris
onment last week for stealing $27
will bo paroled.
(Buffalo, N. Y. Enquirer.)
It is the common impression
that the five Americans most in
terested in the election returns
wore Messrs. Wilson, Taft, Roos
evelt, Marshall and Johnson, All
of them had hopes and the most
confident of them have had fears.
The results meant much to them.

Accounts
The Progress is informed
that Oregon City politicians,
drunken with victory over
Cascade county, are threat
ening reprisals because of
the remonstrance of taxpay
ers ; over conditions at the
county seat. , Among other
things they are reported to
have said that the "secess
ionists" in this1 section of
the county are to be punish
ed by giving them nothing.
Estacada Progress.
When a newspaper prints as
dangerous a paragraph . as the
above it should stand on some
thing a little more solid than
"The Progress ia informed." It
should back- the statement, tell
who said it. and give someone a
chance to defend il.
"Reported to have said," is an
Italian way of scrapping stick
ing a knife in the back. It is too
slim a bottom to stand such a
charge on, and one a newspaper
should not use. It's cowardly. It
does not give those who are ac
cused a half a chance to get back.
It reminds one of school boy days
when the bully would go to the
kid and say "I heard you called me
a liar.
. Estacada is playing a very loose
(tame of checkers. Oregon City is
not the state of Oregon, and Ore
eron Citv only cast a very few o
the 20,000 votes that laid Cascade
county in the morgue. Cascade
county (prospective) had a big
hand in the game itself-
"Drunken with victory,
"threatening reprisals," etc
sounds all right in war corres
pondonce , but very silly as ap
o hed to this DroDosition.
Estacada was the only place in
Oregon that took the county div
ision matter seriously. No one
outside of that place had the
least idea it would come within a
hundred miles of winning.
Anyone or any proposition that
goes up against the lottery of the
ballots should f first be a good
loser. They say the Lord hates a
coward and a moaner.
The ballots decided the mat.
ter and it is folly to keep the sore
open and try to start a feud in
this county.
It is worse than nonsense, this
talk that the eastern part of the
county is to be punished. The
uounty uouri isn i ui tne puuisii
insr business, and as for the poli
ticians why they forgot there
ever was a county division on the
next riav.
Estacada and Oregon City mi
ght well play the game together
than lor tne progress to try to
incite trouble. Some day Clacka
mas county will be divided, some
day when it has cecome more ae
veloped, has more wealth and is
more thickly settled, division will
come in this and in other big
counties.
And if Estacada had taken de
feat as Taft took his, and come
up smiling, Oregon City would
certainly have felt far more kind
ly toward her future amDitions.
The Democrats of the Un
ited States have been under
Republican rule for quite a
while now and it is up to us
to do as they have been do
ing. We will not attempt to
tell Mr. Wilson just how it
should be done, nut we be
lieve that we might be of as
sistance if he desires to
bring about the panic which
is sometimes predicted. Just
call a special session of con
gress and commence mon
keying with the tariff. We
did not vote for Mr. Wilson,
but evidently a lot of the
other fellows did. Silverton
Appeal.
This is certainly' great dope to
hand out after the verdict of the
people in this month s election.
Tho main issue or tne campaign
was the high cost of living, whic
is unjust, uniair simply legal
ized gran and greed.
Wilson promised immediate re
vision of the tariff, and the vot
ers cleaned up tne country lor
him on this promise.
Four years ago the Republican
promised the same thing and sold
out to the trusts. The result was
Taft carried Mormon Utah and
Nutmeg Vermont in this election
We havo a tariff schedule that
nuts 78 per cent on sugar and 10
per cent on diamonds a tariff
that protects trusts and lovies
tribute on necessities.
The Appeal says if we want a
panic all we have got to do is to
rullfil the Democratic platform
and pledges.
This is a nrett.y nasty prophecy
I do not bolievo it is truo, but IF
l r is, if we must have a panic to
stop trust looting; if we must
have a panic to show the trusts
the government will gvoern, then

FINE 8UCCESS.
Pocahontas Degree Team's Ball
Was Best Ever.
One of the most successful
balls ever given in this city was
given by the Degree team of the
Order of Pocahontas, at Busch 8
hall on Friday evening, when the
music oi tho evening was fur
nished by Fox's orchestra of
Port land.
J. here was a large attendance
and many members of the diff
erent tribes of Portland attend
inn:. Tlio hall never looked more
attractive than it did on this oj-
assion anu tne decorating com
mitteo are deserving of the praise
iiey received on that evening for
the artistic design carried out.
The hall was brilliifntly decor
ated in the colors of the order
and Indian blankets were grace
ully draped in many places in
the room, while several tepees
attracted the attention t the
'braves who attended. The elec-
roliers were shaded with red
erepo paper and many palms
were used with artistic effect.

MR. U'REN'S REPLY
People Will Not Long Tolerate the
Present Taxation Laws.
Oregon City,' Ore., Nov. 20.
To the Editor:-'
. I read Mr. Kelnhofer's letter
last week with much interest. Mr.
Kelnhofer knows as I do, that the
farmers and wage workers pay
much more than their fair share
of the taxes, and that the owners
of valuable special privileges pay
much less than their fair share.
The purpose of the graduated sin
gle tax amendment was to correct
that injustice. I believe that nine
tenths of the voters want that re
sult. It may be that the change
proposed was too radical, or
may be only that more time was
needed for the voters to thor
oughly understand the subject.
Of one thing 1 am sure, the
people of Oregon will not much
longer tolerate laws that tax in
dustry for the benefit of valuable
special privileges. If the law we
offered at the last election was
too radical we can propose some
thing that will do justice without
making too great and sudden a
change. There is time enough for
the work. I advocated the lnitia
live and referednum ten years in
Oregon before it was adopted by
the ueonle. The corrupt prac
tices Act was contemptuously re
jected by the legislature before it
was accepted by the people. This
is true of many other measures
which I have advocated in Oregon
Mr. Kelnhofor remembers the
fight over Statement No. 1. for the
direct choice of the people o
their United States senators. He
helned on that iob.
I ask only a patient study of the
proposal to exempt personal
property and improvements from
tax and to collect the revenues of
the state and local government
from the owners of valuaole spe
cial privileges. I am as sure now
that the neonle of Oregon will in
tho end adODt this measure of jus
tice as I was 20 years ago that
they would finally adopt the mi
tiative and referendum.
Sincerely yours,
W. S. U'Ren.
HALF-BAKED LAW
But the Jurors Considered Justice
and Reason Were Better
John Straight of Parkplace, one
of the best known citizens nere
abouts. a mighty hunter and i
fisherman after Izak Walton's
own heart, was out hunting along
Roaring River. He had unusual
luck, for round about the second
of November' along came a game
warden, and spying the deer meat
which John proudly displayed to
him, promptly had him reported
and later arrested. This was more
than John could stand, for he had
killed the deer on the last day of
October, and was cringing n nome
so ho went down to Milwaukie
wtih blood in his eye.
It seems that the case wa call
ed in Milwaukie by the state, on
the around that Oregon Citv folks
were too lenient in the matter of
game violations. The jury found
the defendant not guilty, so John
was discharged. However, he
learned something new and some
thing which will probably be new
to others. . An amendment to the
law was passed in 1 9 i i , whereby
it is illegal to oe lound witn pre
scribed game in one's possession
one second after the hour of sun
set on the last day oi tne open
season.
It is legal to kill one minute
and illegal to have it in your pos
session one minute later. Anoth
er example of half baked law
making.
A Bad Actor.
Melbourne Evans, son of Mr,
and Mrs. Evans, formerly resid
ing in this city but who moved to
Portland ahoul four years ago
was arrested at Canby on Mon.
day while trying to dispose of an
automohiie he had stolen in Port
land. He was taken back to Port
land and now is in custody. Ab
out a year ago the boy came to
this city with a pony he had
stolen, and after reaching this
ty he was arrested uoon a te e-
phone message from the Portland
police. He had cut the mane and
tail of the horse, thinking this
would prevent his capture and had
brought the horse to the Seventh
Street Livery Stable. With the as
sistance of a boy employed thore
ne was captured. Me was after
wards placed in the Reform
School but escaped from that in
stitution shortly after he had been
placed there.
While m this city the lad. who
was only about 13 years of age,
and who had some talen for act
ing and had taken part in enter
ments, but since moving to the
metropolis he has proven a bad
actor and no doubt will now re
ceive a punishment he will re
membor. This County Shines.
There is much comment in the
Eastern papers regarding the Or
egon exhibit at the Northwestern
roduets Exposition at Minneap-
s, ana wnien is in charge oi o.

publications have had Mr. Frey-
aif s photo, taken with some of
the Oregon exhibits, one of which
was where he is standing close by
and supporting some of the large
corn siaiKs, inese neing to reel in

exniDit the people who have vis
led the Oregon booth were sud
lsed with the wonderful products
hat Oregon has sent. There is no
oubt but that the exhibit will be
great inducement for newcom-

If the farmers of Clackamas

opinion that all commercial clubs
could do no better than aid the
farmers in securing the best of
the world's markets for the best
fruits, grains and vegetables the
world produces, and idle capital
in a form to suit the market "of
China, Japan as well as New York

LITTLE VIRTUE IN FORCE.
Writer Answers Rev. Edwards Re
garding Moving Pictures.
Editor Courier:
Brother Edwards, in taking ex
ception to your views regarding
picture theatres on Sunday, takes
exactly the stand he is supposed
to do, and which his calling de
mands. The very nature of his of
fice precludes an unbiased or un
prejudiced opinion, at least for
public consumption. To take his
letter at all seriously, in the light
of his known intellectuality, his
broad culture, and Uie breadth of
view he is credited with, is to con
fess a lack of the sense of humor,
You were quite right in prefer
ring the picture show to unknown
resorts. Parents cannot be with
their youthful children every hour
of the day, nor compel a state
ment every night as to where
they have been. And since the
churches oannot attract them, as
Mr. Edwards practically con
feses, it is better to know they are
in no worse environment than
that of the picture show. There

fect that Satan always found work
for idle hands, and if that is still
true, and supposing Mr. Edward's
contention to be .right that the
pictures, and picture show envir
onment are an influence for evil,
isnH it better to put up with an
evil we know than run the risk of
those we do not know? If Mr. Ed
wards can get them to his church
or any other; we shall be almost
as glad as he undoubtedly will,
providing he can guarantee the
people they will meet there will
be any better than the people
they meet in Oregon City picture
houses.
As Mr. Edwards says, we need
inspiration as well as recreation,
but I do not think he would go so
far as to maintain that the chur
ches alone can give it. Closed li
braries, concerts, and theatres;
prohibited Sunday newspapers, or
Sunday street cars, have all been
tried in one place or another with
but one result a consistent de
crease in church attendance. Nay,
the churches cannot get men to
fill the pulpits, never mind the
pews.
No, Mr. Editor, the fault is with
the churches, not with the glori
ous gospel of the risen Lord, nor
even with the humble picture
show. If the church cannot wage
a winning fight, with the Lord on
its side, fighting on even terms
with the world, the flesh and the
devil, there must be something
wrong with the army. Certainly
nothing has ever been gained by
attempting to make men walk the
narrow pain by act of law.
