OUR MODERN EASTER.
A Cynical Sermon on the Past and
Present by John Stark.
Seated on a rickety old chair, im
prisoned within four bare walls,
which in courtesy we call home, I,
John, heard a voice, and it said
"write." ,
Outside the bells are clanirine and
as the sound creeps over the bills and
filters thru the air, penetrating thru
the shell of the structure, which is
typical of the domicile of the working
class, l am reminueu uy wicieu
th calendar that this was f
day to commemorate as an unusual
event in a far-off clime, nearly twenty
centuries apo. It is reported that a
carpenter, surrounded by a number of
working people, mostly of the rag
tAtr element of that day. mounted up
. nn nn fiRS. rode into the capitol city,
going straight to the public building
and taking possession without any
permission from the county or cir
cuit court.
A week from today you will feel
duty to commemorate those stirring
events bv niouslv eoing to your ac
customed place of worship to inspect
and criticise the new bonnets, which
the merchant class has, as a stern re
ligious duty, put on sale in order to
fittingly commemorate tne meex ana
lowly iNazerene, wnu uicu a
death.
If, however, you by your superior
wisdom and forethought, were
not born one of the despised sex and
so not much interested in millinery
inspection, you no doubt wnt to please

well modulated, tone of the minister
you fall asleep, no matter, for most
likely a cheap reporter gave a synop
sis of the sermon in the morning pa-
tier, which you could take time
to
read as there were no market reports.
From that sermon you could find
out what no history, which was my
fortune to read, ever told. You would
be told that the Jews killed the son of
God, which, according to a previous
arrangement entered into between
Father and Son, would keep all the
pawn-brokers and second-hand deal
era from coinc to hell. Then by mak
ing a get-a-way three days later, all
the Gentiles, that means you, would
be included in the original proposit
ion. This thought is certainly pleas
ing to you as you are getting some
thing for nothing, somewhat after the
manner of trading stamps so popular
just now.
Reiner vour soul is nerfectlv safe,
all you have to worry about now is
profit out of your business. Of course
it is just as well to keep the religion
in your wife's name, wear a pious
face on Sunday, but take it off with
your Sunday clothes.
Bv some stranee workings of fate
it seems I must always come to the
rescue of the underdog. JNot peing a
flea is perhaps the reason.
I find instead of the Jews killing
Christ it was first of all a class strug
gle, the exploiting class, namely the
priests, and politicians overlapping
both national boundaries and relig
ious lines as well. The Hebrew priest
in league with the Dago, that is pag
an politicians..
This truth I never learned from
any pulpit of the several hundred
churches of various trade marks I at
tended.
In my childhood days when I heard
the sweet story of old, of God, the
Father, sacrificing his only son. per
mitting him to be killed in order to
save sinners Jike me I did not know
anything about court practices then
or I would have proven an alibi was
also told that those people wno put
the bare-footed carpenter to death
were wicked: vet in mv childish Dhll
osophy I could not see the wickedness
quite plain as it was, as it was the
will of both, and if the government
had not carried out the death sen
tence the whole salvation scheme
would have fallen through; then, I
reasoned, I would be in a-hell-of-a
fix.
Verily I say unto you, unless you
become like little children.
One problem seemed strange to me,
but I never dared ask the question,
would my father ever consent to me
being killed ?
You may have noticed if you have
ever tried to handle flowing watr,
that it is easier to turn a stream ' ..An
stop it, for if the volume is large
enough, it will go over the dam. So
it is with the current of human thot
and action.
When these most prominent people
of the time not knowing this danger
ous agitator from any of the other
ragged working men in fact had
been too indifferent to the uprising to
notice anything about it until he up
set the tables of the money chang
ers and drove them from the temple,
and, fearing, like Uthcllo, their oc
cupation would be gone, it was high
time to do something to prevent an
other Equity meeting at the Court
house, so they, the clergy, set about
it in a business like manner.
By doing a little detective work
when they were all assembled about
the table, this wide-awake agitator
said, one of you fellows is going to
peach on me. Mark then, how they
all immediately thought of Judas
from Itherolde "because he carried a
bag" for the love of money was in
those benighted days thought to be
the root of all evil, whereas we now
hold it as a token of esteem.
It seems to me it is well worth your
while to read that tragic story of
unrest among tne poor; read it at
first hand as near as can be secured;
read it as you would read this very
item, to find out just what it says,
for remember that when you read
anytmng witn a previous construction
you are ant to go wrong unintention
ally. For observe how the laws of this
land are subject to the construction
of the supreme ocurt, who read in
any meaning they, that is the major
ity, see fit. Right there is where all
the mischief was that was put into
the story, perhaps at the time of Con
Btantine, who put the clergy, that is
the men who had control of the
Christian organization on the payroll
made them respectable; before that
they were outlaws.
Up to this time Christ was a labor
agitator, one who hated the word
master, one who believed in democ
racy, in absolute equality.
To me the making of a God of this
heroic, grand, human character, this
deifying the "son of man" is the
rankest mockery of that memorable
struggle of freedom and only bellitles
the effort 'of a noble, high minded
person going calmly to a felon's death
for the great cause of his down trod
den fellow working men.
Now I would also have you to ob
serve how an idea that is generally
accepted, that is popular will be re
peated by the very persons to whom
it is an injury. What I mean to say is
how apt people are to follow the big
crowd, even against their own inter
One of "the thieves" who was also
tortured to death along with Christ,
when he heard the insults and slurs
cast at Christ, foolishly repeated
them, not comprehending that he
was also a target of their abuse, only
that he was not regarded as impor
tant enough to be singled out for
foul jests.
We have the same conditions in this
day. Let any working man refuse to
crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
and he would be immediately be
marked for destruction by those who
live off of the sweat of other mens
Then all the servants of the high
priests threw out their foul slurs, now
generally thru the press, which is
geheraly owned by the masters of the
means or me.
And many poor workingmen who
nlsn are nailed to the cross of poverty
will take up the cry. Often these are,
or think they are, a little better off
fhon tha undesireable citizen; some
times they own few more acres of
land or have a job as straw boss or
ire clerks in some store, men tney
thev are not of the work
,ng class. If these persons only know
the contempt -which the actual mas
ter class have for their belly crawl
ing they would Boon quit "casting the
same in his teetn.
The truth will make you free, we
are told. The truth is tne jews were
not guilty of killing Christ as the
Romans were the political rulers.
That the Jewish priests arrested him
and wished him killed on the grounds
that he was destroying their religion.
The same charge is usually made in
our day when any man tries to bet
ter the condition of the working class
and in one form or another the rul
ing class has alway nailed the Christs
to the cross and forever are pressing
the cup of hemlock juice to the lips
of Socrates.
Let us go back to the poetic Easter
service and sermon. No doubt the
Koroma plnnnent as he told
of the resurrection of the Apostle of
Peace; how truth crusnea to
will rise gain, that instead of destroy
ing the Christian teachings they
spread over the earth. I hope he did
not spoil the picture by telling how
all the Christin nations are merely
armed camps, that the race for larger
dreadnaughts is bankrupting all civ
ilized nations; mat m mis Rianucok
Christian nation on God's rootstooi,
we are spending about 250 million a
year on war.
It would also spoil the beautiful
harmony of the sermon to say that at
that very moment the president of
the most enlightened nation on earth
was attending the glorious Easter
services surrounded by a lot of .des
peradoes with guns to kill some of
his fellow Christians.
tv. a ii-i.tha nil Tniilca vou free.
Did you hear the truth on Easter?
from exnerience when I
say that there are worse places to
go to than church, take the legislat
ure for instance, which is also open
m with nraver and if you ever hap
pen at the closing, once will he plenty.
The preachers are euuueu tu
fence, surrounded as they are on an
sides with an economic system which
Ruskin pronounced the phenomenon
of the nineteenth century, by being
the dimetric opposite ot tne religious
teaching. Many of these are truly ig
norant, having never learned nie,
t.hroiiD-h being imprisoned with walls
of dogmatism perhaps having gone to
some eclesiastical college where they
learned a lot of stuff that isn't so.
When thev go among their parisn-
innera thev onlv see the veneer, nd
being ignorant, are incapable of see
ing thru the gloss.
Th trouble with the men of tne
cloth is that partly they are men of
the cloth, instead of men among man
kind. Besides that, these fellows are
endowed with an internal economy,
and while slender Mary Bits on a
footstool in the parlor doing the en
tertaining, it seems necessary lor
faithful Martha to stay in the kit
chen until the chicken bones are
cleaned. These men must eat, and as
the manna clauda have disappeared
and the ea9t wind brings no quail.
Grubbing the logged land sounds
all right in a booster bulletin but it
isn't respectable. JNor does tne income
furnish enough nice clothes or the oc
cupation produce soft white hands.
To be fair to our uniortunaie
brothers who are condemned to the
life of "creed-hawkers." I'm of the
opinion that many realize the hollow
ness of their station but dare not butt
their heads against tho stone wall of
custom to face the prospect of hun
ger; of being an outcast among their
friends. I believe many would gladly
slap me on the back with the human
fellowship, saying "how are you old
socks?"
You know one of tho last things
done by the Carpenter was to wash
the feet of his associates, showing
the idea of equality in the most pro-
ounced manner.
Perhaps it would be new to you if
you heard that as soon us his fol-
owers could organize again niter ll is
tragic death they lived communistic
lives. "There was no such thing as
want among them for they all held
all things in common." Strange you
never hear that in church, yet that is
said to have been the practice for
several centuries and until the change
was made many were fed to the wild
beasts, r inaliy they became, respect
able, it became the state religion.
Now once more are tho techings of
equality being brought to the front,
and gain the people are being abused,
or misrepresented and for the same
reason "lie stirrcth up the people,"
and the tables of money changers are
in danger of turning over. This time
it is not a local affair in far away
Judea; it is a world movement and
brotherhood of labor is clasping
nanus about the earth.
Do you see our sisters in England
shaking the tight little isle with the
demand for the ballot? Do you see
it sweeping across this continent un
til it touches the jungles about Cape
Cod? Do you Bee unrest everywhere
among the workers, notably among
the garment makers in New York;
and everywhere you see tho great
words Equality and Co-operation.
The exploiters see the signs of the
times, therefore the so-called pro
gress movement which was to
head off Socialism; all forms of half
truths and whole untruths, to stem
the tide of revolution. Already the
rays of the sun of Socialisms' dawn is
seen on the. political sky. It seems
that this time industry has so far ad
vanced that the next step must be
associaion; the truth they thought
had been dostroyed has only been de
layed. "Truth crushod to earth will rise

MR. GJLL'S POSITION
Explains Just What there is About
his Candidacy for Governor.
Estacada, Ore.,
March 18, 1913.
Editor Courier:
I note a comment in your paper
upon a statement appearing in the
Estacada Progress. My home town
naoer has been doing a little boosting
for me apparently and as such I ap
preciate it and value it and value the
expression of its friendship. But I did
not make so strong a statement as
was credited me.
The most that I said was that
leaders in the Progressive party (not
progressive Republicans) had given
me considerable encouragement and
that it was a possibility that I might
not have an opponent in the iTogress-
ive party primary, if I should become
a candidate- in such primary.
The newspapers have been doing all
the announcing of my candidacy for
governor. This is the first signed
statement or authorized interview
that I have given out on the subject.
I am not definitely announcing that
I will be a candidate for governor be
fore the Progressive party primary. I
am seriously thinking of being a can
didate fro the high office of governor
in the Progressive party primary, but
that' primary is more than a year
away and many things may happen in
a year.
Should I be a candidate I will en
dorse Governor West's prison policy;
his moral reform policies. Good roads
for farmers, that is roads beginning
at the market places and extending
into the rural committees; improved
rural schools, economic administrat
ion of the state government, more
power in the hands of the hands of
the people to control their govern
ment, divided legislative sessions the
abolishment of the state senate and
principles of the Progressive party

IN THE HARD OLD DAYS
First of a Series of Old Time Remi
nesences by Old Timer. '
In the spring of 1845 my father
with quite a large family left Fulton
County, 111., with ox team for Oregon,
and soon joined the famous Barlow
Company.
At Fort Hall we left the Barlow
Company and under the guide of
John Greenwood and sons we strted
for California.
After many hardships we arrived
Suter's Fort, now Sacramento City,
arriving there the first of November.
We were taken into the fort, where
we were taken care of by Captain
Suter, the governor of upper Calif
ornia. There we remained until April
1846.
During that winter trouble between
Uncle Sam and Mexico was brewing,
and in January the order came to
Capt. Suter that all American citiz
ens in California must become Span
ish subjects or leave California by the
first day of April.
Captain Suter was a noble man
and a Swiss by birth. He would tip
the scales at 200 pounds. He called a
meeting and tried to persuade the

Americans that it would be better lor - .

for horses. Then preparation began
for the trip on horseback.
The great problem to be solved was
how could the children be taken along
and it was found that by making the
common pack saddle with the top
harness about 18 inches high; then
weave a rawhide strap around the
horns to form a basket. These sad
dles were then put on the horses and
made fast; then quilts were put in
them and 2 or 3 kids were placed in
each contrivance and the halter tied
up; then, with a kick at the horse
and the outfit was finished and the
great kid problem was solved.

Tax Collection Changes.
After this year the county treasur

Then, after this month the 3 per
cent rebate allowed on taxes paid in
full before March 15th will be done
way with. So will the ten per cent
penalty and the 12 per cent interest
on taxes not paid by the first Mon
day in April.
Instead interest at the rate of one
per cent for each calendar month will
have to be paid on all taxes remain
ing unpaid after the first Monday in
April.
All taxes unpaid on the first day of
September become delinquent, and the
penalty and interest now provided by
law for delinquent taxes becomes ap
plicable. The sheriff is to be the col
lector for all delinquent taxes under
tne new law.

Front as Big Success.
At the annual meeting- at the
Creamery on March 17th, the entire
board of officers for 1912 were re-elected
for the ensuing year as fol
lows: Directors W. P. Kirchem, H. S.
Anderson, J. J. Hatton, L. D. Mum
power and S. C. Young; Secretary A.
O. Hollingsworth; treasurer1 E. H.
Caufield.
The following are taken from the
Secretary's very complete and encour
aging report:
The cream received during the year
was 738,015 lbs. There were manu
factured 293,646 lbs of butter, being
an increase of 78,492 lbs. over the
previous year. The total receipts were
95,472.87, an increase of $28,851.40
over the report of 1912, The average
price paid for butter fat was 35 and
five sixths cents.
It was a proud day for Secretary
Hollingsworth as his report showed
everything in good and flourishing
condition with a surplus in the treas
ury and the report sustained by the
investigating committee, Wm. Gris-
enthwaite and Mrs. A. J. Hughes.
Clackamas county has reason to be
elated with the success of the Clear
Creek Creamery Co. It has been hard
work to make it go as it had to grow
with the development of the dairy in
dustry and it was an expensive job
to gather cream over the bad roads
of such a territory.
