SOCIALISM.
Idaho Writer has Correction for Mr.
Crabtree's Article.
Burke, Idaho,
March 14, 1912.
Editor Courier:
In your issue of the 28th I read an
of article by a Mr. Crabtree in which he
tells us "Where Socialism Stands." In
the main the article is very good but
in the second paiugraph he says that
I it has no deal with economics, which
long expresses itself in political action.
Now I wish to take exception to
that, for Socialism is based upon the
scientific research of economics or in
other words the industrial conditions
j upon which society has its existence
Q If a pupil takes sick in vour and "expresses ' itself in "Political
school today, can you tell when he Action" through the use of the fran-
went out and when he came back?

entering school after fumigation?
A Roberts' home was fumigated
Saturday and children

health?
A Did not have when they enter
ed. I demanded that they get certif
icates and they did that day.
Q Who gave them to you?
A Dr. Norris.
Q Do you know the health laws ?
A I know the school laws.
Q Did Dr. Norris
the school?
A No,
chise,
In regard to the relation of Social
ism to the church or clergy, Mr. Crab
tree is correct, for the clergy must
serve their economic master just the
re-entered same as any ordinary workingman,
the only difference is that the work-
certificates of ingman can do his day's work and
think and express his thoughts "hon
estly" where as to the contrary the
clergy, to hold their jobs, must con
form to the society, from which they
draw their substance, or go down and
aud join the ranks of the worker
whom they claim to love so well and
yet one could not see a callous on their
ever come to hands with a microscope.
! The church and Socialism certainly
have nothing in common. A Socialist
Q Did you have the pamphlet on has eliminated the word "fear" from
health laws ?
A No, not until one month ago.
Q Where did you get it?
A Mr. Johnson gave it to me.

A good many farmers are buying
hogs to get rid of their surplus po

Wm Menke has just about cleared
out all of his timber and is thinking
of selling his sawmill machinery.
Miss Rae Kirbyson, who went over
to Washington for the benefit of her
health, is reported as getting along
nicely.
Considerable business was trans
acted at the Directors meeting of the
telephone association. Over one-half
of the system is still on the bum, and
something will have to be done soon,
as a good many are getting tired of
paying central dues and getting no
service. About time to enforce our
Constitution and by-laws and if we
can't let's find it out at least and then
try something else.
Quite a number have tried the
streams to see if the trout will bite
and according to reports they surely
do.

Socialism at least holds out to the
worker the hope of industrial free

Theodore Huerth. Park Place, Ore
gon City, Oregon, says "For a long
time 1 suffered from lameness across
my back, and there was a steady ache
over my kidneys. The trouble was not
severe enough to lay me up, but
caused me great distress, especially
when I stooped or lifted. On a friend's
advice, I used Doan's Kidney Pills,
and they removed my trouble. The en
dorsement I have previously given in
favor of Doan's Kidney Pills stillt
holds good. This remedy made a per
manent cure in my case."

Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured.
There is nothing more discourag
ing than a chronic disorder of the
stomach. Is it not suprising that that
many suffer for years with such an
ailment when a permanent cure is
within their reach and may be had for
a trifle? "About one year ago," says
P. H. Beck, of Wakelee, Mich., "I
bought a package o fChamberlain's
Tablets and since using them I have
felt perfectly well. I had previously
used any number of different medi

Prohibition is Growing and We Should
Add Oregon Next.
(W. C. T. U. Correspondence.)
The dawn of a new day . is coming
to the people of.our nation. While the
battle has been an arduous one to the
few, the ranks are being strengthened
every day.
un r'eb. 9th, the Webb Bill was
passed by both House 'and Senate
This bill was vetoed by Pres. Taft
but passed over his veto by a good
majority in both houses. This bill will
take effect July 1st and is a protect
ion for prohibition states. It is cer
tainly a triumph for the Temperance
Cause. It will do away with the bus
iness of illegal selling of liquor by
those who manage to get their wares
into forbidden territory.
The "boot leggers" and "blind pigs
will have to quit and engage in a
more legitimate way of making a liv
ing.
There are today 46,000,000 people
living in the U. S. under some form
of prohibition. 71 per cent of this
country is "dry." Total prohibition is
seven states: Maine, Georgia, Kansas,
Mississippi, North Carolina, North
Dakota and Tenessee. Now if we can
launch Oregon on the "dry" dock we
will feel repaid for the seemingly
futile efforts of the past.
There are surely enough men and
women in Oregon to fight this evil
and overthrow it. When we read ev
ery day in our morning and evening
papers of the divorces that are grant
ed in the courts, and note the number
of little children whose homes are
broken up by intemperance, it only
would influence good people to vote
to crush this evil.
Scarcely a day goes by but our Or
egon Police gather up a drunken man
or two. The women of this state
should stand together and vote on all
questions for the betterment of con
ditions and I believe they will.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol.
Did you ever cough for a month?
Then just think how distressing It
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and Iron rem
edy, Vinol, Is that my cough. Is gone.
I cau now get a good night's rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way."
It Is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, cods' livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, run-down system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the un
derstanding that your money will
pe returned If It does not help you.

Some of the Changes Outlined for the
County Fair this Year.
M. J. Lee, of Canby, was in Oregon
City Saturday and states that already
arrangements are being made for the
Clackamas County Fair to be held at
Canby in September. Mr. Lee was re
cently elected to the office of secre
tary. Arrangements have bee nmade with
H. W. Lee, who owns considerable
property adjoining the County Fair
property, to open a roadway from the
main roadway near the Southern Pac
ific Railroad, and the two other en
trances will be closed, this doing
away with several gate keepers. It is
also Mr. Lee's plan to have re-admission
tickets thus allowing the visitors
to the fair grounds to visit Canby if
they so desire, and not have to pay an
extra gate admission when returning
to the fair grounds. Many of the visi
tors from this city and from other
places have found it tiresome to re
main on the fair grounds all day, and
if they are given the priviledge of go
ing to Canby during their stay at the
fair ground there is no doubt but this
will be a great inducement.
There will be two superintendants
of the poultry department and these
will be furnished with two assistants.
The poultry will have the best of care.
The poultry building will be enlarged
and several have bids on the improve
ment, the lowest bid to be $75, and
was awarded to the person making
this.
It is the intention this year to pro
vide for the horses and cattle as well
as poultry, with feed, providing they
are exhibited for prizes. It has been
the custom of the owners to pay the
feed.
Mr. Lee will come to Oregon City
during the Booster Day show, when
cattle and horses will be on exhibit
ion, and he will at that time arrange
for exhibitions in this line. The Boost
er Day in Oregon City will be in April
and Judge G. B. Dimick, who probab
ly has the finest registered Poland
China hogs in the county, will exhibit
his stock again this year. He has his
own buildings at the fair grounds,
having erected them at his own expense.
The race meet at the fair grounds,
will be held as usual in May, when
some of the best trotters, pacers and
runners will be seen.

The Causes of Rheumatism.
Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de
ranged kidneys are the cause of rheu
matism. Get your stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels in healthy condition
by taking Electric Bitters, and you
will not be troubled with the pains
or rheumatism, Charles B. Allen, a
school principal of Sylvania, Ga., who
suffered indescribable torture from
rheumatism, liver and stomach trou
ble and diseased kidney writes: "All
temedies failed until I used Electric
Bitters, but four bottles of this won
derful remedy cured me completely."
Maybe your rheumatic pains come
from stomach, liver and kidney trou
bles. Electric Bitters will give you
prompt relief. 50c and $1.00. Recom

The Best Light
AT THE
Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most
suitable for homes, offices, shops and
other places needing light. Electric
ity can be used in any quantity, large
or small, thereby furnishing any re
quired amount of light. Furthermore
electric lamps can be located in any
place, thus affording any desired dis
tribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qual
ifications, therefore it is not surprising
that electric lamps are rapidly replac
ing all others in modern establish
ments. Portland Railway, Light &
