OREGOH CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEB 28 1913
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
Cut out the Toadyism and Bending
to the Foreign Leeches.
I am not vain enough to think that
I can convert many persons to my
way of thought on this question, and
am well enough informed on the gen
eral trend of ideas of my fellowmen
to know to a certamity that few per
sons among those who read this item
will agree with the ideas which I hope
to express clear enough to those of
you who will give me thoughtful at
tention, that I might at least hope for
your commendation. I also feel sure
that in time to "come where one agrees
now ten will, after a lapse of years.
I shall also try to avoid a feeling of
spleen on the question, and appeal to
your calm reason.
First I want to say that my ideal
of human society would know no nat
ional boundaries, as we understand
them at present; that I hold to the
theory of cosmopolitism. That the
word foreigner is useless to a happy
state of society.
We are informed by some press re
ports that a person who is generally
known as Alphonso the twelfth, is
contemplating a visit to this part of
the globe, which we call "our coun
try."
I quote from the Orcgonian: "He
would be met with marked courtesy
by the united States government,
The big guns at Sandy Hook would
boom forth a noisy welcome and his
vessel doubtless would be convoyed
by a flotilla of cruisers. A reception
committee of distinguished citizens
would escort him to his lodgings."
Now carefully note the quotation.
It is not contended that his individ
ual achievements would call for more
notice than any other brainless loaf
er, only that he exercised sufficient
forethought to become the son of his
supposed father. It is of no concern
of ours whether the report of his
filthy amorous escapades be true or
not. If true he is certainly entitled to
, the greatest attention our best people
can give him, provided they do so as
individuals or social groups; it is of
no concern of any one else in Hail
Columbia.
If, however, the big guns at Sandy
Hook, burn up a lot of powder, which
is charged up to the citizens of this
republic; if our war vessels burn up
a lot of coal to escort him about; I, as
a lore and unimportant citizen will
put in a vigorous, 'though unheard
and unheeded protest.
It is not powder and coal alone
that is burned up, but human lives; is
a contention which may be disputed
by such as see fit to expose their lack
of ability to think. I am aware that
people are ready to reply that he is
"the official representative of a frien
dly notion," which statement is sub
ject for debate, though of slight im
portance. Let me here call your attention to
one important national idea: thut
our army and navy is maintained at
a great cost and the efTort is put
forth to obtain the best men physic
ally for the service, to protect Amer
ica against the foreigner. Now then,
this army and navy is called unon to
serve this foreigner, in fact to protect
mis ioreigner from improbable harm
and what is really important, to keep
a lot of cheap American toadies at a
safe distance.
There are among those of Bmall
number who read this who are great
jingoeB, when it comes to those per
sons who were born abroad and can
speak more lunguages than one, are
frequently slurred for such accident
of birth.Yet when some persons
should come to the locality who is so
useless that in order to be noticed
must have some title and gaudy trap
pings your necKs pull out a rod in
in length and your adorution is
boundless.
I for one hold to the opinion that
, a president or other public official
wno would order such official demon
stration is a TRAITOR to his country,
iiu i care not wno the official may
be, or to what political party he may
an mine.
Not many years ago a German
Geek" paid a visit to the graft head
quarters at Washington and we were
informed by the press that two lines
or soldiers and police stretched from
tne depot to the white house, forming
one solid guard for this royal vermin.
Ihis, I say, was an insult to every
American citizen, especially when we
were iniormed that our American
citizen could not go through the
"dead lines" without a pass from
some high official. How do you like it,
you liberty loving Americans? A
saur-krauter is your superior.
Can you see the class character of
this government you are nicely taxed
to keep up to show the foreigners a
good time? or how much will it take
to convince you that you arc nobody?
After the foregoing was written I
found a nice and friendly criticism in
regard to my observations on milit
aryism so I will digress from my orig
inal line of thought just to put the
supposition to my critic in the same
friendly spirit.
Suppose you were in the army serv
ice and this "gringo" would come over
and you were ordered by your super
ior (?) officer to go out with fixed
bayonet to guard him like Prince
Henry was, so as to keep your fellow-
citizens at a distance; keep then) off
me streets winch they and you had
built? Would it occur to your patriot
ic minu mat tnis lono foreigner was
of more importance than muny thous
ands of us "free Americans" or would
you endorse your superiors?
luiucm iimi i come in lor niv
iuu siinre 01 criticism because I do
not not endorse all the humbug our
government onictals pull over on us;
nave Deen tola mat by rights I de
deserve hanging as a traitor but let
me give you my narrow plnnk plat
form in one sentence. AMERICA
FOR AMERICANS. Perhaps that is
treasonable, if so I want some one of
you patriots, if you are sufficiently
intelligent, to come to my grave with
a nice little pine board, upon which
you yourself have written the only
necessary word TRAITOR, for I dis
pute the right of a bunch of bum pol
iticians to put any foreigner upon a
mare honorable place than the hum
blest citizen of this alleged republic.
Now I will pass that part of jingo
and will pursue the course of this :
perfumed crabhouse on the Spanish
body politic. As ruler of Spain he is
guilty of the murder of Ferrer, whose
only offence was to open up schools
so that people in that illiterate coun
try would learn to read; to advance
to a higher human plane. Of course
ignorance is tyrany's best whip. It
may be said that is none of our af
fair, which is true, but we might just
as well bear that in mind when this
government of ours proposes to tax
us to show him honors. ,
Aside from all that, I believe in
permitting him, or anyone else, to
pass to and about this country in ab
solute peace, provided they observe
the same rules of conduct which we
apply to ourselves ;and I hope he will
come to Portland, where according to
his liking among our best people
who have made the Y. M. C. A. build
ing famous lately. Then it might also
be proper to call out the famous
road-house militia company to pro
tect this sacred leech from contamin
ation with the vulgar mob of the Am
erican working man.
JOHN F. STARK
MOLALLA.
(Too late for last week.)
School was closed this Monday on
account of scarlet fever, which has
developed in the home of W. T. Ech
erd. Solon, the eldest son was working
for W. A. Sharer, where they had
the fever and probably brought it
home. Several have oeen exposed and
it may be some time before school
may be safely opened again. More
precaution should be exercised in re
gard to such diseases.
Prof .C. I. Lewis and assistant, of
the division of horticulture, will be in
Molalla, Thursday March 6, to give
demonstrations at the Fagan Or
chards so the extension division of 0.
A. C. has notified Molalla Grange No.
310. Let all that are interested in bet
ter fruit in the Molalla valley turn out
on this date and have a close distance
talk with the expert and carry away
any infofmation that may be impart
ed- on that occasion.
When you come into town by rail
you will be entering Molalla through
what appears to be the back yard of
the present town, so to see our front
yard it will be necessary for you to
stop off and look around, until we
get another frontage built on.
Molalla is to have a newspaper
right away off. "Old No. 1." building
is to be the house of publication. This
This is proper to have all pioneer en
terprises pass along the way to fume
through this building, and some day
twill make a suitable picture for the

Our brother scribe of Liberal, rath
er intimates that the "mail stage
has not been able to reach Molalla
for somo reason or other lately. Now
be it known that L. Waldron, our star
mail carrier, has been SEEN coming
in the old way as a trusty guardian of

such gigantic undertakings. Yes sir,
Waldron gets the mail to Moliilla if it
takes three relays to do it, we get
our mail all the same.
The small-pox patients have about
recovered at Orin Cuttings. They
seem to have had a very mild form.
The infant child of Royal David
son's died last week and for a while
the mother was in a critical condit
ion, but she is now reported to be out
of dugner and getting along well.
Now H. A. Kayler conies forth
with another 5 and a half acre addit
ion to Molalla, situated just west and
adjoining the school property. Heck &
Co. will gladly tell anyone interested
all about it.
A new livery barn has been com
menced building on tho South Ecast
corner of the Kayler Addition to Mo
lalla by a Mr. Hubbard. Shoemaker
and Jackson have the carpenter con
tract of building.
C. A. Jackson is building a resi

rubbish cleared off his most desireable
lots recently.
LIFE OR DEATH.
There is no Hell of Torture, Hell is
Punishment by Death.

Editor Courier:
In the Courier of Feb. 14th appear
ed an article on "Hell' which I read
with more than the usual interest,
from the fact that your position,
while contrary to much that is taught,
is in strict accord with the Bible.
The doctrines of eternal torment
for the lost is opposed by every fact
of science, makes a fiend of an all
wise Creator, and Is contrary to the
entire scripture from Genesis to Rev
elation.
In tfce Old Testament the word Hell
is translated from the Hebrew word
"Sheol" which means the place of the
dead, or the death state, all good, bad
and indifferent go there at death. Ec
cle. 3-20. This word "Sheol" occurs
85 times in the Old Testament. It is
translated "Hell" 31 times, "Grave"
31 times and "Pit 3 times in the
King James translation. It is NOT a
a place of torment or of consciousness
and the wise men tell us in Eccl. 9-
10, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might: for there is
no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom in the grave (sheol)
whither thou goest."
In the New Testament the word
Hell is translated 10 times from the
Greek word Hades, which has the
same meaning as Sheol in the Heb
rew, 11 times from Gehenna, a Greek
corruption of the Hebrew phrase
"Valley of Heinman" and once from
"Tartaroo." The Valley of Heinman
was just outside of the city of Jerus
alem and was used for a city crema
tory, where the refuse from the city
was burned. It did not act upon the

Editor Courier:
I heard a sermon and such a ser

And it came from the inspiration of

congregational church.
The subject was the labor problem

One thought is labor has its intrin
sic reward in creating health and hap
piness in the results of personal ef
fort. Another A laborer represents so
much capital which should be above
par compared to the value of a few
pieces of silver.
Nearly all are laborers but few are
the parasites.
The hand of labor represents a Cemetery is

the protection of that nation of which
it is a part.

Petty Thievery at (Tie Heights.
Thievery still seems to go on. as
some short time ago a little store on
the heights had a number of articles
stolen, the store owned by V. Baker.
Later he had another call. This tune
taking a piece of canvas that Mr.
Baker used to throw over his wagon
as a slight shelter from the rain.
Now we think such doings show
slack management somewhere. Is it
fault with the law? No, then it
must be something wrong with the
home training or well, we won't just
place that part of it, but it looks bad
that a fellow has to put a lock and
chain on such small tilings that they
may not be stolen. We think if a lot
of those boys were rounded up and
sent to the reform school or the pen
for a while it might make better men
of them.

of sin is death," James 1-15, "Sin
when it is finished bringeth forth
death."
IVath is the great enemy of the
human race, it came into the world
because of sin. The scripture points
the way to escape eternal death thru
the Lord Jesus Christ, and obtain, in
stead the life everlasting. Man
brought the death penalty upon him

loving heavenly father at once pro
vided a way of escape trom the pen

it is a question of Life or Death, and
it is up to us to choose which we will
have.

Eastham School grounds made into a
beautiful park, and no prettier place
