HOW JOHN STARK LOOKS AT
PEACE PROGRESS.
Figuring to Furnish Corpses for
the World's Series.
By John Stark.)
It seems strange to me that
while the hours have apparent
ly been shortened to about forty
minutes in the past forty years
I have not seen any comments on
it in the press. Of course at just
this time of year the days are
short owing to the changed posi-
Hon ol the earth (so a man loiu
me who had been standing ar-
ound looking1 on while my back
was bent) and it is a generally
accepted idea that everything
chanares excent the supreme
court, the politician and the col-
lege proiessor, inese ceing
"great men" aro considered as
"llxed" entities, so do not move
with the rest of earthly things,
until tho world gives a sudden
lurch, when they take a tumble
to themselves and land in that
clime where there is neither day
nor night .whore they become
shining lights through all eter-.
nity. ...
Owing to this shortening or the why "killing people made him
hour, perhaps brought on by the great." The cost of this one ves
speeding up process and reduc- iSi would have furnished homes
tion in time schedule, I find that
before I succeed in solving one
problem, another is passing by,
and so I run after it until it van
ishes to give place to the next.
While thus engaged I found the
almanac and tho alarm clock
pointing to Christmas before I
had time to ttel ready.
Now as tho departing guests
have generously permitted us
servants to dram the bottles and
sort out tho bones and scraps
for our dinners, and knowing that
their 1111 will give us a few spare
moments, I will, try and think out
just where we are at. to take a
hurried inventory of this institu
tion of this inslution called
Christinas as applied to the life,
as it can partly be seen without
rose-lensed Held glasses ana only
as an unfinished mina can com
prebend.
Why is it that after three hun
dred and sixty-tour days or plun
dering our fellow man and rav
ishiriK his family, we aro so
suddenly stricken for one day
with an opposite naturq, and in-
stead seek out the victim of the
past yoar, call him brother, and
altho wo may not take him to our
own firesides. K'ive him food and
warmth for one day? Am told by
tho great men who sit on editor
ial stools or stand in elegant pul
pits, that it is a grand demonstra
tion of tho great principles advo
cated by him whom the poor
heard gladly." Others say it is a
custom handed down from olden
times when "Norsemen went mad
with merriment about tho glow
ing yulotide tires." To mo it
seems that perhaps it is caused
by "the sun crossing tho line,"
because its effect is only lasting
that ono day; mat were it, the
christian spirit, were it our
church teachings, it would seem
to bo more lnsling.
Have wo made no further pro
gress with nineteen hundred
years' pulpiteering that we can
not think clearly owing to the
deafening noise made by tho an
tomatio riviting machines build
ing armoured warships, mingled
with the creaking cranes placing
lingo cannons, that wo may pro
claim our christian civilization
from the llrey mouths of fourteen
inch guns, under a benediction of
a follower of the Prince of Peaco?
How long will it bo before
Christ will reign his thousand
years on earth, at the present and
nast rate of progress?
During 1ho past three months
tho press reports, accompanied
by photos, gave us an idea of tho
hideous monster, war. i grew up
With tho idea that governments
wero the institutions which did
protect the peoplo, but it seems
the reverse is truo. J Here are
those who tell us that war is glo
rious. Is that so? Then why
hnvo all this red cross nonsense,
with lint,, bandages, medicines
and tireless nurses, risking life
to restore I ho wounded, to com
fort the dying? Why not let tho
good work of butchery of human
beings go on? Let us have it in
all its preslino glory, without
wasting so much energy to coun
leract the glory of the battle
Held?
Two months ago a general war
seemed imminent. Kings, prm
cesses, ehancolora nnd what not
shook wise heads while tho clouds
lowered over the continent. The
great statesmen could not
wouiii noi uy 10 averi uio 101-
pending calamity. Tho mighty
men who wo are loid are hearing
tbo burdens of state for the poo
pie's good, failed in tho hour of
threatened ruin. Of course these
gouly medal-wearers wero in no
danger of becoming targets at
rillle practice and if war came
why workingmen would stand bo
fore the gleaming muskets and
the wives of the workers alone
would wring their hands at part
ing; only they would be tho wid
dows' and the mothers of the
bravo dead.
However another force, unin
lentiona'i in cliaracler, camo to
the front on Iho 24 th and 25th of
November, in the city or Basic
Switzerland. The International
Socialists Congress met an put in
a protest against war that made
even the whole brood of royal
vermin "lake. a look at their hole
card" for should Germany lake
part in a war the chance for Bill
with the bristling moustache
might need look for a new board
ing place. The workers of the
world will not much longer fur
nish the corpses for the agran
dizemcnt and pleasure of para
sitic pimps with royal titles. If
these blue-blooded loafers want
diversion of that sort, let them
fight it out among themselves.
Such of (ho largo newspapers
(hat I came across gave the af-
fn ir seiinf not ii'0.
1 here is a good
illustration of that line humbug.
the neftce conference, where great
banquets, with line speeches and
splendid menus are tho import-
ant toDics. When that bloody
monster, the Czar of Russia, and
friend of Taft, called I he first dis-1
armament conference, I sat up to
take notice, wondering if really I
was awake. The course of pro
ceedings however assured me
that nothing desperate was con
templated for the questions all
related to prizes of war and
kinds of ammunition to be used.
Then some high priced booze and
canvasback, also a lot of stupid
editorials by American newspa
pers of the importance of this
amazing humbug. I believe your
Uncle Sam sent a couple of well
fed bums over to play this end
of the fraud.
Recently the announcement is
made that bids for the construc
tion of the Pennsylvania will be
opened soon. It would be fitting
on such occasion to open them
with prayer by some well-fed fol
lower of the meek and lowly on
Christmas day. The cost of the
vessel equipped is said to be
about 84. 000.000. the object is
destruction, yes, murder by the
wholesale destruction upon the
grandest scale so far achieved by
any nation. Is that all our wise
statesmen can think of killing
. , odv? Oh they only hire
I their killing done; are too genteel
if, fj,.,v their hands on that job.
iJast, year we heard a lot about
i ilfi9 l,.on Workers' hiring des
....mio nnn to kill and destroy and
as far as i have heard no one de-
f,., u(i ihem in such acts. How
;s n wroncr for one to go out to
kjn and destroy; then right for
ih government to be in the busi-
ness of destruction? I confess I
fail to see any difference, except
in matters or retail ana wnoie
Hale. Do any of you remember
the poem, How Big was Alex-
under. pa?" the childish philos-
ophy who cculd not comprehend
for 14,000 families at 81,000 per
homo. Would not that have been
a belter investment? In btatis
lical Abstract No. 33 (two years
old), I find we paid out for war
$158,000,000; for navy $124,000,
000. The appropriations will per
haps be nearly double at this
time all to what purpose? Just
to kill to destroy! Much has been
said about tho cost of the big
ditch, but that one year s cost is
about equal to the cost of the
canal, if I remember rightly,
Have we any use ror more mur
dor bv wholesale?
I started out to write about our
Christmas charity but the keynote
f Peace on Lartn uooa win
Among ntVn, thought led me into
the inconsistency or our acis as
shown by war among our Crhist-
uui nations.
An illustration of our methods
of charity was sriven me many
years ago by a Missourian, who
of course being truly patriotic
was a great admirer or Jesse
James. The story was tnat, or mo

roll, amounting to 1100. The man
began to cry, saying tho money
he had saved was to purchase a
ill o home, whereupon the kind
hearted Jesse gave him a nice
twenty-dollar gold piece, that ho
had accumulated by his "energy,

I never like to see ony man
broke here take that and stop
pour blubbering.
St. Paul's Christmas.
Willamette hall was the scene
of much merriment Saturday eve-
11110-. when the children of St.
Paul's Episcopal Sunday school
lield their Christmas exercises.
The early nart of the eveninir was
devoted to a cantata "A Garden of
the Christmas b airy. . The can
tata was given under the direc
tion of Miss Mamie Lewithwaite,
who was assisted by Oscar Law
rence woodlln, presiding at me
piano. Miss Alice noiman was
Oueen of tho Farios, and many of
the children took park in the ex
ercises.
After the program tho children
wero presented with candies and
oranges, from a beautifully dec
orated tree, by the rector, C. W.
Ilubinson. Dancing was indulged
in by the older ones, with Oscar
Woodfin as pianist. The hall was
ireltiiy decorated with evergrsns.

WHAT UNION OF
FARMERS WILL DO
SOUND TALK TO THE FARM
ERS BY A FARMER.
Fight Combinations by Combina
tions Is the Present Game.
Editor Courier: Some time
ago, a movement was started in
Multnomah county to organize the
farmers of that county under the
rarmers Society of Equity sys
tem .which has its headquarters
at IndlanaDolis. Indiana. and
which was organized in the year
1902 for the purpose of uniting
the farmers of the country that
they may as a body receive recog
nition in the markets of the world
in their effodrts to dispose of the
products which they produce
The Farmers' Society of Equity,
with its headquarters at Indian
apolis, gradually expanded until
it now embraces almost every
state in the union. The method
employed to organize the farm
ers was to create different units
which would operate and be gov
erned by a national head. The lit
tle country locals or units are the
foundations upon which this sys
tem is built, just as the family is
the foundation upon which the
government of any nation de
pends. These little country un
ions are thori formed into county
unions and then into state unions,
which are governed at Indianapo
lis. Tho society established clearing
houses in different shipping cen
ters, and there are now 102 of
these clearing houses in the TJ. S.
All work hand in hand to secure
the biggest possible returns for
the farmers and to get those
things that the farmers buy, such
as machinery, wagons, etc., at the
lowest possible cost. The organi.

zation is conducted and operated
exclusively ny larmors and no
other class is admitted into its
fidd. A little over a year ago the
movement raided the Pacific
Northwest and started to organ
ize in Multnomah county. At first
siignuy remnant, the farmers
began to realize tho benefits of
the organization and soon all had
lanen into line in various com
munities throughout the state
and the Northwest.
A meeting was held in Oresron
City to organize a local branch of
the organization, and all wero
convinced that the .Clackamas
county farmers meant business. I
will not go into the details of tho
mooting but it showed what farm
ers can do when united, for the
farmers are Iho biggest peoplo in
the United States today. The
reason is obvious and tho time is
here when we farmers can look
for a big change to tako nlaeo in
tho near future. Concerted effort
is all that is necessary. The trou
ble with tho farmer has been that
ho always wants to see how it
goes before helping to push. Im
agine a wagon ditched as bad as
the farmer has been ditched and
loo hundred farmers standing
it figuring out a way to get start
ed. Twenty-five will take hold and
tne rest will wait to see how it
goes, aow an rarmers Know tnat
the big task is to aret the wairon
out of the ditch and after it is
once out, it rolls along easy. This
s the reason why the farmers
have been so delinquent about or
ganizing. Again, the farmer knows that
he ought to have the right to dci
tale the prices on the staples
which he produces, just as well as
the manufacturer of his stoves
and wagons does. Hut why does
he not do it? Because he can
not, for the farmers are not or
ganized. Why is he nonorganiz
ed? Because he does not take
time to organize. He too busy.
Unreasonably he won't take time.
He works unceasingly. Imagine,
brother farmer, a manufacturer,
working as you do. A manufac
turer wagons, say, who ondeav
ors to manufacture as many wag
ons as he can, thinking the more
wagons he makes, the more mon
ey he makes. Ho pays no atten
tion to the marketing side how
ever, and if one happens to come
in and buy a wagon, all right; if
not, he will only continue to make
more wagons. He has no time to
look up markets and to place his
wagons on the market. He makes
wagons. How long would this
manufacturer last? He go into
bankruptcy before he got his eyes
open. The farmer is just as fool
ish as the manufacturer in the
above illustration. If he would
take more time to help better the
condition of his market, he would
not have to take so much time for
work and would be making more
money. . Brother farmers, it's on
ly through organization that we
can improve the condition of our
markets. It is more important
to us than the single tax issue,
more important than presidential
elections, and more important to
us than any other affair of our
business life.
The Farmers' Society of Equity
is establishing a olearing house
in Portland this winter, and Oth-
ers are to established at the oth-
er large coast cities. They will
work in conjunction with the
eastern clearing hquses and thus
eliminate that class of. business
interests which continually con.
spire to exploit the farmer. Only
under thorough organization can
the farmers dictate the prices the
produce shall bring. I will en-
deavor to point out how this can

be done:
The price of wheat is at the
present time set in Liverpool,
England, by a clique of men who
can make ami unmake prices to
suit themselves, but who depend
on absolutely correct information
as to the world's supply of wheat.
They obtain this information at
a costs of hundreds of thousands
of dollars which conies out of
the farmers' pockets eventually.
Now that this organization may
control the markets of tho United
States, it is necessary they ob
tain information of the supply
and demand. It is easy enough to
figure the demand, but not so
easy to determine the supply. The
F.iiuity Society DroDOses to Bret

this information at practically
is money in tho farmers' pockets
inis inrormation comes through
a (treat svstem of reirnlar reports
from each local union and shows
the amount available in each par
ticular community, and also all
conditions effecting the crops at
different times of tn year. These
reports all (to to the state union
and from there to the national
hendquarers, where prices are de
termined accordingly for each re
spective district. Reports from
different authorities bear out the
fact that 40 cents is as close a
figure as can be made on what the
fanner receives on every dollar's
worth of produce that he sells. So
when he gets 80 cents on the dol
lar, he simply doubles his income
and anything above 40 cents is I
I
si-
then clear or net profit.
So good for the selling end of
me Dusiness, Dut the rarmer is
also a consumer. With these
clearing houses established, it is
only logical that we not only sell
but buy through them also. We
all know we are being held up on
the buying. Add that difference
to the net profits of the selling
account and you will have a very
handsome total. You will wonder
how you ever got along before you
were organized. This is no idle
dream: study it over and convince
yourself. Wake up w.hile you have
a chance. Don't stand by and
watch the other fellows do the
work. Lend hand and it will be
the easiest thirtg in the world.
There are now about twelve un
ions in Clackamas county and
they have an avoraee member
ship of 20 members each. All of
these locals were represented at
the meeting in Oregon City last
Saturday and the county union
was organized. Other counties in
the state have also organized. The
Multnomah county union as yet.
is acting as the state union, but
when sufficient' county unions
e organized, they will proceed
to organize the state union with
headquarters probably in Port
land. Mr. Jt,d Brenner will start
the active work of completing the
organization of Clackamas coun
ty at once, and will probalby call
on all those localities not vet or
ganized before spring.
The membership fee is $2.00

NOW IN OPERATION.
Faota About the Parcels Post,
Effect This Week.
Wednesday of this week there
went into effect in this big coun
try the parcels post system, and
but few of us realize what a big
benefit this will be for this coun
try and what a great carrying
system it will eventually grow in
to. For several years the express
companies and other big influ
ences have stood between the peo
plo and this system, but public
sentnment won at last and this
week will put it into active oper
ation. The new system became effec
tive throughout the entire Unit
ed States at the same time, and
effects every postollice, city and
rural mail transportation route
n the country.
Every precaution is being taken
by the postofllce department to
have the mails moved with the
usual dispatch, and all postmas
ters, superintendents and inspec
tors have been directed to thor
oughly familiarize themselves
with every pnase or ine new sys
tem. The regulations provide that
parcels of merchandise, including
tarjn and ractory products tout
not books and printed matter) of
a most every diacrintion no to
eleven pounds in weight and mea
suring as much as six feet in
length and girth combined, ex
cept those calculated to do injury
to the mails in transit,, may be
mailed to any postofllce for deliv
ery to any address in the coun
try. Delivery will be made to the
homes of peoplo living on rural
and star routes, as well as those
living in cities and towns, where
there is delivery by carrier.Where
there is at present no delivery by
carrier the parcels will go to tho
postofllce as is the case with or
dinary mail.
ihe postage rates or trie nrst
zone, that is witnin distances not
exceeding 50 miles, will be live
cents for tho first pound and three
cents for each additional pound.
The rate increases for each suc
cessive one of the eight zones in
to which the country is divided,
the maximum rate being twelve
cents per pound, which will carry
a parcel across Ihe country or evi
en to Alaska or the Philippines.
For a fee of ten cents a parcel
may bo insured, and if the parcel
is lost in the mails an indemnity
to the amount of its value, not to
exceed $50, will be paid.
The law provides for the use of
distinctive postage stamps and
there has been distributed to the
postmasers of the country a set
of twelve denominations of these
stamps. Parcels post maps with
with accompanying guides are to
be sold to the public at their cos't,
75 cents, through the chief clerk
of the postofllce department.
Following is the schedule of
rales. Keep it:
Flat rate of one cent per ounce
up to four ounces, regardless of
distance.
Above four ounces rates are by
the pound and fraction thereof,
and varying with the following
distances:
Rural route and city delivery,
first pound 5c, each additional
pound lc, 11 pounds 15c.
Fifty mile zone, first pound 5c,
each additional pound 3c. , 11 lbs.
