Official Paper for the Farmers
M. J. BROWN,
This issue of the Courier is edited
by the ladies of the City and County
and while it is impossible te mention
each one who contributed to this num
ber, we feel that those interested will
find in looking over the articles
that the ladies will be able to take
care of themselves without any aid
from the men.

JUST LAWS.
Men have made laws for thousands
of years yet it seems they have not
been able to make one law to pro
tect the innocent or poor.
The Columbia Orchard Co. and the
Cooperative Supply House of Port
lnnrl arfi two similar cases. In the
former the authorities took action and
prosecuted the swindlers. In the lat
ter riot a county or federal attorney
has raised a hand. Money was obtain
ed under false pretences and the mails
were used in this swindle, yet no one
seems to take any notice.
Could it be possible that rich and
influential men were concerned in
the first case while in the latter princ
ipally farmers?
Sisters, don't you think we could
find among the thousands of laws one
law to protect the farmer? Several
hundred of them have given
their promisory note for value rec
ceived, these same notes have been
taken up by the banks and I hardly
believe a banker would pay face val
ue on notes obtained by such swindle;
they want to force us to pay full val
ue. It seems to make a great difference
whose ox is gored 1
No one seems to know where the
fault really lies, but certainly our
laws are defective there. They have
now passed the "blue sky" law, and
that might be protection in the future
but it will only be a short time until
some new phase of swindle comes
along and more laws will have to be
passed, and so on indefinitely.
Men have brought on this state of
affairs and I think it is time women
to help make laws. Women should not
be satisfied with simply voting, but
should obtain seats in the legislature
and other offices.
At present our law makers seem to
think they have done fine and worked
hard when they have passed several
hundred laws, half of them worthless
and the other half unconstitutional. It
might be better if we would unpass a
few laws.
Wes hould thank our good governor
for wielding his ax so successfuly in
cutting off the head of many a law.
Under the right kind of laws, bet
ter roads and farmers' cooperation,
farm life in Oregon would be ideal,
we have greater advantages than
most .any state.
The farmers are beginning to see
that they must cooperate, , therefore
they fell so easily into that Portland
swindle.
The cry is "back to the farm" but
it would be more correct at present,
"back to the farmer," when you are
short on money. k
MRS. IDA M. HART ,
FOR THE KIDDIES' SAKE.
Which is the more important: that
the city save a few hundred dollars,
or that we have suitable places for
our children to amuse themselves?
The swimming season is coming on
and we ought to have a swimming
pool, and huve a man there to teach
IL. -L:u 1 a : T.- . u:l.l
ine cuiiureu ituw iu bwiiii. ixvviy tmiu
should know how to swim. And they
will swim, even at the risk of their
lives, if no place be provided. .very
year we lose one or two of our boys.
Can we afford this?
One of the best things we can do
for Oregon uty is to construct a play
ground for the young folks. There are
bo many children that have no place
to play except the streets, where they
are in danger of being run over by
street cars and other things. A play
ground, well looked after, with some
one there to keep order and to look
after the children so that the parents
can feel that they ure safe, is very
much needed. Anu we feel that one
would be greatly appreciated.
There U no other work that is more
important than the training of the
rising generation, and a very impor
tant branch of this ib to proviuo a
. suitable environment, and what could
be better for this than a well ap
pointed play ground?
As a first step toward this let us
ask the council for a swimming pool
with a man to teach the children
how to swim, and have it ready for
use this summer. This will bo a grout
source of pleasure to the adults as
well as for the children.

WHAT IS CAUSE AND CURE?
I frequently go on a visit to my
parents, living near Rock Island on
the Willamette, and I note while there
the many men and boy hoboes going
by on the railroad. Every nw and then
one is asking for something to eat.
There is plenty of work for everybody
yet these men and boys have been,
they tell us, wanderers "in Canada,"
"east of the mountains," "in Califor
nia, etc." In the fall of the year they
go south, and in the spring come
back again looking for a "handout;"
migrators, nothing to do; what is the
cause and cure?
A few women tramps are also to be
seen. A few weeks ago a young wo
man dressed in overalls, camped out
over night at the place where the
logs are put in the river for the Wil
lamette Paper Company, about two
miles south of town. As the night
watchman made his rounds looking
after the safety of the various build
ings and their valuable contents (as
those hoboes build fires where they
ought not to, oftentimes, he suspect
ed it was a woman, and in the morn
ing told her so and she confessed it.
He gave her some pretty plain ad
vice. Think of it, a young woman
who had cut off her own hair with
a scissors, wearing a skull cap, and
overalls.
Sleeping in a log dump, nothing to
eat, no covering; what next? yes
she had a good home, she said, but
she evidently wouldn't work.
When we see a youth, boy or girl,
do any sort of work no matter how
menial it may be, rather than be idle,
we make up our mind they will am
ount to something, but there are boys
and girls that don't want to work;
what shall be done for them when be
yond home influence?
Perhaps our nation is at fault as
much as the fathers and mothers who
have no knack in the management of
children. Our public officers ought to
liuvn nnr in nut these idle run-a-
houts on the rock nile, and if these
idlers continually found a job pound
tn mukn caaii roads for in
dustriotts people to ride over, from
"Maine to California," they would
eventually "take the hint" that it
might be best to work for themselves,
and there is plenty of work ready for
Um in Hn if thpv nra nnt too choicv.
Good government in the home, and
good government outside ,of it will
D,, !.. nut nn oiiH tn miiph miserv and
a long line of hoboes who, doubtless,
are continually unuing iaun wun me
industrious, and if we should have a
national trouble they wouia De an ug
ly element to deal with.
Now that our lady editors and work
ers are not afraid to put "our thots'
nrt rui nor lot nn nut it nn the lepislat

franchise, and see what can be done
with the hoboes and idlers, n win De

Thirt nra manv thinirs to be said
against the antiquated nitching post,
but at the same time there should be
suggestions as to a good substitute.
Where the farmers may leave their
teams wniie in me cuy is uiuuicm
to be solved as soon as possible.
Whv not have a public hitching
shed in some convenient place to be
under the care of the street cleaning
department? This would be far more
sanitary than the hitching post and
more comfortable for the horses in
all kinds of weather.
. If we want the farmers to come to
our city to trade, we should give them
every convenience possible.
The population of Oregon City is
not great enough to be self supporting
as yet, and we depend largely upon
the farmers' trade to make our city
as prosperous as it should be.
EDITOR
Why is it that our streets are swept
after eight o'clock in the morning?
This is very unsanitary as this dust is
full of disease germs and many people
have to breathe this filth or else cross
and recross the street on their way to
their places of business. Also the
question of gathering up the swill.
This is supposod to be done early in
the morning or late in the evening.
Why isn't it?
ASSISTANT EDITOR
We read that Chief Probation Offi
cer White has filed complaints against
eight tobacco dealers in Portland for
selling tobacco to boys. Evidence
against the dealers was discovered by
boys smoking around the school
birldings.
We hear that tome of the Oregon
City boys are smoking. It would be
well to Iook into tnis matter.
MRS. C. H. DYE.
DR FRIEDMAN AND HIS CURE.
"The greatest discoverer of the
age."
"The biggest fakir of the century."
One or the other of these defini
tions will ultimately affix itself to
the name of the German bacteriolo
gist, who for some weeks past has
been demonstrating his cure for tub
erculosis in America.
It is difficult for many people to
understand why this country has not
received Dr. Friedmann with open
arms and accepted his cure for what
it is worth. If the treatment will act
ually do all that its inventor claims
for it, then many precious lives will
be sacrificed while the medical ex
perts are conducting their tests and
experiments.
Several reasons might be mention
ed as to why scientific men are skep
tical as to the efficiency of the Fried
mann cure.
"My treatment cures tuberculosis,
in any stage of development, even to
the point of death," was the cry with
which the doctor heralded his entry
into America. In this extravagant
statement, medical men have recog
nized an appeal to the popular ear,
for every well-informed person knows
that there are points in the develop
ment of a case of tuberculosis beyond
which it is .hopeless to look for cure.
Science knows how to cure a burn;
but in cases where a certain propor
tion of the bodily covering has been
destroyed, death will always result.
Just so in tubercular infection of the
lungs, larnyx or digestive tract;
where the disease is far advanced
and where great disintegration of
tissue has taken place, no treatment
can effect an absolute cure, although
it is within reason to suppose that
in case of the elimination of the tu
bercular baccilli, the life of the pat
ient could be preserved for some time,
under favorable conditions.
Dr. Friedmann's confidence in his
cure is extreme, and his claims for
it are so extravagant as to cause the
medical fraternities to suspect him
of Charlatinism, and he will probab
ly not receive recognition here unless
he can thoroughly demonstrate the
truthfulness of those claims and also
make known the secret process by
means of which he secures the serum.
Hitherto medical science has not hit
upon any treatment which would des
troy the tubercular baccilli within the
body without also killing the patient.
Dr. Friedmann claims to have discov
tered a non-toxic serum which ful
fills the purpose in every respect.
But during two years use of the treat
ment in Germany, the doctor failed
to secure the endorsement of the
Knights of the Pill and the Lancet in
the Fatherland. We may safely con
clude that Dr. Friedmann would nev
er have turned his back upon Ger
many had he not been given the cold
shoulder there.
Scientific men have too fresh in
memory the fake perpetrated upon
them by another M. D., to be easily
hoodwinked a second time. However
it must be admitted that Dr. Fried
mann's researches have been in the
direction from which in all probabil
ity the cure for tubercular diseases
must come; and if no greater good
results,, the present excitement will
be the means of urging on experi
ments throughout the world, and one
may look forward to a positive cure
for the "white plague" being found
at no far distant time.
But although the Friedmann cure
may not prove to be all that was at
first hoped, no one having tubercular
or consumptive tendencies should dis
pair, since the best known remedies
for these constitutional disorders are
hygienic and dietetic rather than med
ical or surgical.
It is sad to think that there ' are
thousands of men, women and child
ren whose cases today are perfectly
curable, but who, because of ignor
ance, neglect, doubt or hesitancy, will
delay until their disease has passed
the point of transition from the hope
ful to the hopeless.
One of the most potent causes tor
this delay will be found in the wide
spread advertisements of patent medi
cine vendors. These quacks spend
annually millions of dollars to hum
bug the public, and reap a correspond
ingly large profit. The harm done
by them can scarcely be overestima
ted. In tubercular cases these so
called remedies are worse than use
less, they are deadly. Not that the
medicines themselves directly harm
the patient, but they are absolutely
impotent to reach the cause of the
trouble. They are sold upon the
strength of their ability to alter or
temporarily alleviate one or all of the
secondary or reflex symptoms, such
as pain, cough, or fever, etc. Mean
while the disease progresses steadily
and when at Inst the proper medical
udvice is sought, the trouble is found
to have progressed too far nnd the
patient has nothing before her but
the agony of a lingering death.
The first atack of tuberculosis up
on the system is extremely stealthy,
and it may be taken for granted that
when the symptoms becomo so pro
nounced as to be recognizable by the
average person that the disease has
nlreudy progressed to a dangerous ex
tent, and it snouia De understood mat
the slightest delay will likely prove
fatal. In such cases the best medical
advice is none too good.
It is because of tho invariable fatal
results of delay or error in treating
tuberculosis m its incipiency that
tho medical association of America,
and the medical staff of the federal
government are demanding that Dr.
Friedmann shall abundantly prove
that there is no deception or false
hood about his cure.
Professional jealousy or prejudice
has nothing to do with it. But let us
not be too hasty in condemning Dr.
Friedmann and his discovery. Let us
hope it is all he affirms it to be, for
several wonderful cases have been re
ported. A boy who was unable to
bend his leg on account of tubercular
enlargements of tho oints was able
to dance a hornpipe two weeks after
receiving the treatment. A woman in
Canada who was at the point of death
on account of tubercular enlargement
of the glands of the neck was appar
ently on the road to recovery. On the
other hand several of tho carefully
selected clinical subjects have died.
MRS. LEON DES LAUZES.
The kind of a man the women of
our community would like to vote for
is the man who always stands for
the right, even though he stand
nlone. The man who is not a slave
to public opinion; who votes right
not because the world is watching
him, and he is afraid to do otherwise,
but who acts according to the prompt
ings of a good conscience.
The man who waits for public sen
timent to force him to act and then
expects to be patted on the back and
told what a fine fellow he is, need
not expect the votes of the women
who stand for honesty and righteous
ness. v EDITOR.
POOR ECONOMY.
Is it not a pity the streets of Ore
gon City are in such a deplorable con
dition after money has been so lav
ishly spent for their betterment.
Property has been, I understand, as
sessed at almost confiscation and yet
it is doubtful if any of the streets
where the so-called macadam pave
ment has been put down are in any
better condition than they were be
fore they were fixed with the excep
tion, perhaps, of the grade being bet
ter. Every time there is a bad storm,
this so-called pavement is washed
away in large quantities and the city
is taxed to remove the refuse from
where it lodges and taxed again to
repair the numerous places where the
macadam has been either washed off
or scraped off by the city "boarders"
or men employed by the city. It
seems too bad that our city fathers
could not have been benefited by the
experience of other cities and put
down a hard surface pavement. It
might have been a little more ex
pensive at first, but in the long run
it would be far cheaper as in this mild
climate where the pavement is not
liable to be cracked by heavy frosts,
hard pavement would or should last
for quite a number of years without
any repairs. Macadam is only suit
able for country roads and not even
for them if there is much heavy traf
fic. That is, the macadam made of
the soft rock we have here. There is
also another question I would like to
ask: Why do not our councilmen or
whoever is responsible, have this work
done at the proper time? Last fall
or winter they had a gang of men
and teams working on Jackson 'street
between 12th and 17th streets for
weeks, grading, and this spring it has
to be all done over again, as during
the winter all the soft, fresh earth
washed away. The only excuse for
all this waste is the fact that it gives
employment to a large number of men
for repair work and also affords an
excellent opportunity for irresponsible
contractors to fleece the taxpayers of
an already overburdened, tax-ridden
community. Who is to blame? Were
the contractors compelled to give
bonds guaranteeing their work? If
not, why not?
"WELLWISHER."

AMBITION
Ambition Thou destroyer of Wis
dom. Had Joan of "Arc understood the
message of i the voices to deliver
France from the tyrants she would
not have led her people in war, which
means man's inhumanity to man
rather she would have let the mother
love into her heart and instead of be
coming a murderer she might have
been called the mother of her country.
Ambition leads its victim on and on
until like a spider it has woven its
web about to catch its subject with
flattery and praise. Mother love lives
on and on for ever lasting, while am
bition and fame lead but to the grave.
VIOLA BURR
Clackamas, R. F. D.
It is not necessary to state to the
readers of this paper that the mer
chants of our city have aided in mak
ing our woman's issue a success fi
nancially, for that fact becomes self
evident upon looking over the differ
ent pages.
But we do desire at this time to
thank our merchants and profession
al men for the courtesy with which
we were received.
Knowing how busy these days
were for the men, we hesitated in
soliciting advertising at such a time,
although we were treated with great
respect and kindness, all of which
helped to make the work lighter and
we sincerely trust that all may have
value received from their advertising.
ADV. COMMITTEE
Mr. Klemson said the city was
forcing him into great loss, and
he thought it nothing more than
confiscation of his property. He
said that if the council did not
give him a license, he was either
going to become a preacher or a
professor, as he believed these
occupations a little more secure
at least in Oregon City. Enter
prise, April 2.
We are glad that the gentleman
recognizes the fact that the preach
er's or professor's occupation does
not have to be watched to keep them
from breaking the law and ruining the
health and morals of our boys.

Mrs. C. H. DYE.
The postal business of Oregon City
for the year eliding March 31, am
ounts to $19,000, says our Postmaster,
Mr. Randall. These figures do not in
clude those of the postal savings bank
business, which is very heavy on ac
count of being supported by the em
ployes of the wool and paper mills.
This report, we think, places Ore
gon City in the lead of other cities of
equal size for the best showing of
postal business.
The Legislature of the State of
Minnesota recently passed a low to
appropriate $500,000 for a building to
house the State Historical Society,
yet there are people in Oregon who
think that the state university is get
ting too much when they are to re
ceive $200,000! Minnesoa also appro
priates $'2,000,000 for the state un
iversity. Now is the time to exterminate the
flies. In the business sections of Red
lands, California, large baited wire
fly traps are placed at the corner of
each block. These are collected at
regular intervals, the contents burn
ed, are rebaited and set again. Would
tnis plan be worth trying in Oregon
City ? Why not ?
Mrs. B.
There are plans for a cement walk
from Sixth to Seventh streets on
Promenade Ave., connecting with the
proposed elevator. Now do we want a
cement walk? Wouldn't a nice gravel
walk be more in keeping with the
picturesqueness of our beautiful
bluff?
Oregon will never be able to in
vite settlers of the better class to its
boundaries so long as her education
al institutions are second rate.
"CITY HEALTHFUL"
In those days when we hear so
much about a "City Beautiful" would
it not be well to combine beauty with
"Health" as to my mind nothing will
attract more attention and induce
more people to come to a city to make
their homes than a good, clean, heal
thy populace and what is more at
tractive, especially to the one loking
for a home than to see happy, healthy
people, especially healthy children;
and how can we expect to have them
healthy when their food is exposed to
the public dog and the filthy fly? We
all know the fly is a carrier of dis
ease and filth so then why is not the
law enforced, compelling our trades
men to keep their fruit, vegetables,
meat, etc., which they have exposed
for sale, covered with either glass or
wire screens and also high enough off
of the floor or sidewalk to be out of
reach of the ''public dog," for altho a
lover of dogs I am not sofond of them
that I care to take diem in my food.
Now I do not wish to "knock" our
fair city but am writing this in the
interests of a healthy, happy people,
as we cannot be happy without health
even if all the parks and gardens in
the city were covered with roses.

ANOTHER "ANARCHIST"
Mrs. Yoder of Hubbard, Favors the
University Referendum
Hubbard, Ore. Apr. 29.
Editor Courier:
So! according to the Enterprise, all
signers of the university referendum
petitions are anarchists. Well here is
another. I want to sign my name to
that petition that in the language of
John Hancock Pat McArthur and H.
L. Pittock can read it without spec
tacles. To my mind there is too much of
spoiled child about our university, the
more we give way to them the more
they want.
It was my understanding that four
years ago when they got $225,000
yearly that that was to end it, they
were not to ask for more, but it has
been more and more at every session
of the Legislature since.
Now there is another law passed at
the last session of the Legislature
that every owner of a threshing out
fit wants to help kill and that is the
act prohibiting traction engines on the
public road for any purpose except
drawing your separator. The member
who studied up such an iniquitious
measure as the one mentioned above
should go to, Salem for a long term,
but not as a member of our Legislat
ive Assembly. It stands us in hand to
sign petitions to bring that law be
fore the voters.

DRIVING US AWAY.
Merchants Must Tie Our Horses To
Tie Our Trade
Editor:
The Council of Oregon City seem to
think that in these days of automob
iles and aeroplanes, that it shows how
antedeluvian the farmers and their
families are to ask for better hitch
ing facilities for their horses when
they come to Oregon City for busi
ness. Very few of the farmers here have
automobiles and so far as I know no
aeroplanes, so for a while longer we
must be content to use horses.
Much blasting has to be done in the
city in order to have the streets prop
erly improved, and many horses dis
like the noise and din of4he blasts,
and will try and put themselves in a
safer place, and even if they walk
away, get out of sight before their

owner can get the length of the store
or down stairs from business offices
to care for them; in case they go fast
er than' a walk they are liable to
cause damage to other occupants of
the street. '
If hitched near other horses they
seem less liable to fear and certainly
cannot leave while hitching rope
holds.
If there was a regular price for
hitching in the stable we could plan
better, but we hear that the price
varies from 10 to 60 cents at differ
ent times and places.
There are times when 10 or 15 cent
charges would not seem burdensome
to the farmers, but a 25 or 50 cent
charge would become so if it had to
be paid many times.
A few weeks ago one farmer living
14 miles out, drove in town to pay his
taxes and do some trading. Hitching
rail was full and he drove to all the
stables on or near Main street and all
were full so he was obliged to go
half way up Seventh street before he
could find shelter and hitching place
for his team.
But his taxes Oh, yes, they were
glad to get those dollars and cents
and the merchants of Main street
would have been glad to have sold him
goods to the extent of what his teams
could draw home but did he buy
there? No, he simply bought a few
things he could slip in his. pockets or
carry up the hill in his hand, then
purchased his two or three weeks sup
plies at stores he passed on his way
home, where goods could be loaded
onto his wagon from the store.
We hope for better conveniences
while waiting for our automobiles
and aeroplanes.

What Women Can Do
The recent recall of a judge in San
Francisco illustrates what the women
of any comunity when they have the
right to vote, can do. A judge of the
easy-going type had fixed the bail of
a man found guilty of a criminal as
sault on a woman, at a nominal sura
in order that the guilty party might
forfeit his bail and not appear.
This so incensed the women of the
city that they circulated a petition
for a petition for a judicial recall and
ousted the judge.
Some 31,000 votes were cast in fav
or of recall. The women of Oregon
have the same power and whenever a
state or county official fails to do his
duty it is up to them to use the weap
on that has been recently put in their
hands.
There are surely enough law-abiding
men with the help of the women,
to see that the laws on our statute
books are enforced.What will we do
about it?
