GILBERT L. HEDGES,
Notary Public for Oregon
The Eugene university has mighty
good grit but very poor judgement.
Voters, it simply takes a little sand
to line up and show four or five men
they don't own Clackamas county.
Wonder where that fellow is who
said that recall movement would die
a natural death in thirty days?
How many more times will the leg
islature dare stick the big university
appropriations in the people's faces?
Don't leave all the work of the re
call for a few men to do. It is a work
for every man who pays taxes to take
a hand in.
And out of all these charges again
st the county court, what defense has
there been made except 0. D. Eby's
bucket of whitewash?
The new Oregon law that provdies
for a physician's certificate of health
before a man may have a marriage
license, is a step toward giving human
beings the same attention we give to
hogs, dogs nd cattle.
Our city garbage collection is good
as far as it goes, but it does not go
far these hot days. And we have
some pretty stinking gabrage boxes
for the flies to breed on back of many
a house. It is a condition that should
be remedied, and when we face it and
take care of it we will have a more
healthy city.
Our senator, Lane, doesn't quietly
sit back and wait for the second
term before senatorial etiquette will
permit him to second some motion.
He is smashing musty precedents and
pointing out grafting conditions to
the old heads, and insisting they be
given attention. But Lane comes from
a state that has a record for doing
things different.
Let us see if we can't put some men
in charge of Clackamas county who
will run the county as they would
run a private business, run it honest
ly, cut out the politics and personal
favors, let contracts and franchises
in the open, get competition in all
work and see how little, rather than
how much money can be expended,
and get a dollar's worth of service
for every dollar paid out. Then let
us see if the farmers of this county
will have to pay a dollar and upward
per acre in taxation.
Because Oregon City presented a
so-called commission form of govern
ment and the people killed it, is no
indication they would not vote to rat
ify the right kind of change. This
city needs business management. To
day its management is a side lino of
men who tnko it up when other dut
ies are done,
Somo day, when the need of busi
ness management is forced into our
faces by tho big expenses of the
present worse than loose form of
government, some man with brains
and common sense will draft a char
ter that will bo short and full of do
things; that will have one capable
niai,. im tho city as a manager does
the mills, and tho people-will make it
a law through the initiative. And the
sooner wcj'nt the city under such a
business govenunent, the sooner will
it be a more desirable place to invest
in.

SIXTEEN TO ONE
If the taxpayers of Clackamas
county want to put the county under
new management and see if they can
not get more value for less taxation,
then they want to get it thoroughly
into their heads that the most impor
tant move is to sign the recall petit
ions. Wihout sufficient signatures the
matter can never come before the vot
ers.
An illustration of sleeping at the
switch came to notice in the Gary
salary increase referendum and it
nearly lost out.
Half of the petitions in circulation
were not sent in until too late ta file
the law. and several of them
had to be returned because they were
not properly acknowledgea Deiore a
notary.
More than enoueh were filed to re
fer the proposition to the voters, but
many more, on which circulators naa
worked, were a dead loss.
Now if the taxpayers want to re
call tho countv court, it is simply up
to them to get right on the job, fill
the petitions ana sena inem in, ana
as soon as enough come in, they will
be filed and a recall election called
unless they should resign.
Time and time again men will say
"T Hnn't. want to siern the petition for
personal reasons, but I will vote to
recall."
None of us like to do It. We would
all rother George would sign and let
us make our protest in secret in tne
booth with the ballot.
But about 1600 of us have got to
havfl sand enough to stand up and
lin un that 7000 of us may be given
the ballot to decide the question of
recall.
Now are vou one of the 1600 men
with backbone enough to be counted
or are you one who hopes the recall
will succeed but hasn't nerve enougn
to get it where it can?
The Courier office has a recall pe
tition open to the public. We do not
in anv manner solicit signatures, and
those who sign it ask for it. Yet there
is a long list of names of men who
havB red blood in their' veins who
come in and ask for the petition, and
who are not afraid someone will see
their signatures and report it to the
county court ring.
And such men are to be admired.
Tf w had more of them we would
have better government and less tax
ation in old Clackamas county. Ana
between vou and I. the man who dar
es to go on record does himself far
more good than harm but it s hard
to make the fellow with weak cour
age think so.
EIGHT HOURS
With this week the two long shifts
at the Willamette paper mills went
out for all time, and in place come the
fhina oio-ht.-hnlir nhlft.Q.
v...- I
That the change will result in I
great good for both the company and
the hundreds of workmen there can
be no doubt.
Twelve and thirteen hour shifts
are too long days and nights for any
white man, and the men cannot work
to the best advantage of the com
pany under such exacting hours.
The old Masonic law of dividing
the 24 hours into three equal parts
applies in justice today as it did at
the building of King Solomon's tem
ple 8 hours for work, 8 hours for
sleep and 8 hours for refreshment
and recreation.
The Willumette mills have extend
ed this shorter day to the shift men.
The men will be much the happier,
more contented and better able to do
a good day's work, and there is bound
to be a better feeling and closer relat
ion between the men and the manag
ers. On the whole we believe this move
will be an investment for all con
cerned and one that the other mills
will soon follow.
A man can't work 12 and 13 hours
a day and think much of his job no
mutter what the pay is. Give him 8
hours and he has time to see the sun
rise and set, enjoy a few hours of le
isure and see his family by daylight.
The 8-hour day is fast coming gen
erally, and coming to stay.
CHANGING
What a chancre in the newspapers
in the last four or five years. And the
speculation is, do they make senti
ment or follow it?
A few years ago a anewspaper was
a party organ, and it would stand by
fVin nartv and the party crook until
the last bell ring. This was partly be
cause a bit of patronage was aangiea
on a string, but mostly because it
was considered "loyalty" to party,
or wrong.
But the big papers set the chang
ed pace, and the country papers have
followed, and today a newspaper
must be independent and dead honest
or the women wouldn't use it for the
pantry shelves.
Three years ago the Seattle Post
Intelligencer came out with the fol
lowing announcement. It caused pim
ples to rise on the backs of the poli
ticals: The stern- logic of events has
made it plain that the people of
today look to a newspaper for
broader leadership than the old
party organ could afford, and
this demand for independence of
thought and opinion on the part
of newspapers is too insistent,
too strong, to be ignored. In poli
tics, as in other things, the man
ner and the methods of the day
change, and we must change with
them. Henceforth the Post-Intelligencer's
politicl columns will be
given to the advocacy of the mer
itorius and beneficial reforms de
manded by the people, whether
they originate in the Republican,
party or not. "r '
Independent thinkers demand this
quality newspaper.
Men won't read a parrot paper.
You must come at them with the
goods these days, not statements and
assertions,
the slavish newspaper, the organ
grinder that nlavs the tune it is bid
den to, is going down and out, because
people are doing their own thinking
and it insults them to tell them a
Democrat is a fool and a Republican
is a Solomon, and vice versa.
Tndenendent thinkiner and a broad
education of things doing are leaving
no place for the grindstone newspap
er. It's got to go just the same as
many things are going and it ought
to go.
INTERESTING FACTS
Here are some interesting facts
about Japan that many of us don't
know. And when you have read them
forget that this little Tom Thumb ev
er thought it could lick the great U.
S.
Japan is not as big as California.
Japan's arable land, if placed in
one body, would not make a greater
area than that of the state of West
Virginia,
Fifty millions of people inhabit this
small territory.
A population of like density in the
United States would exceed 1,000,-
000,000.
Taxation in Japan is 85 per capita
where wages are less per day as a
rule, than they are per hour in the
United States.
In Japan any person with an in
come of more than $75 a year must
pay an income tax.
The Japanese with an income of
$100,000, a year must pay one third
of it to the government.
The average farmer in Japan tills
about two acres.
The Japanese farmers grows the
best rice in the world, but cannot af
ford to eat it. He sells his own su
perior rice and buys the inferior rice
of .ndo-China. Many of the Japanese
farmers cannot afford riee at all, but
exist on a diet of boiled millet-seeds,
with fish once a month.
It can be understood that Japan
looks with covetous eyes on the Phil
ippines, for she needs elbow room,
but when it comes to fighting the
richest country in the world don t
you believe it.
ONCE MORE
Once more the referendum has
stopped the handing over of $275,000
to the University of Eugene, and this
fall the voters will again kill it.
How much longer a fool legislat
ure will continue to shake this red
rag in the voters' faces remains to
be seen perhaps until an enraged
people will kill the legislature as it
has the university appropriations.
There is beside this $275,000 gift a
biennal appropriation of $425,000,
and the most of the people who have
signed the referendum think that no
more appropriations for building and
enlargement should be made until
the voters of the state should decide
on whether or not it is best to con
solidate the two state colleges and
save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Only referendums can be voted on
at this fall's state election, but next
year there will be an intiative meas
ure given to the people providing for
a straight millage tax that will take
the up-keep measures of these insti
tutions out of political influence, and
that will take the board of regents
from the control of professional pol
iticians and give to the workers and
the plain folks in general of the state
a chance at regulating the manage
ment of the institutions, to which
their boys and girls look for their life
training.
The Equity Socieay has been up
against the same old bumps that
have stopped many an organization
that has gone before and quit but
it now looks as if they were going
to get by these rough spots and start
something that wiu stick and grow,
When a bunch of men, alive above
the ears, get together, determine they
will pull together on a certain line,
and then give that work just as much
attention as they do their own pri
vate business well, its just bound to
work out. Oklahoma shows us what
the Equity may do, and here is the
Courier's bet that Clackamas county
sustains its state-wide reputation of
doing things, and that the Equity
makes good.
The Enterprise says that perhaps
it would be worth while to hold a re
call election so that the people be
hind the movement could be squelch
ed once for all. We heartily agree.
I am betting Oregon voters will kill
the "sterilization bill." The more one
looks at this matter the less he thinks
of it. The time may come when such
drastic legislation will be necessary,
but I don't believe the emergency is
here yet.
Preferential voting appears to
have worked out generally satisfac
tory in Portland's election Monday,
and no doubt some of these days it
will bob up as a state-wide initiat
ive. And I don't know why a voter
should not express a second and third
choice on candidates. Of course the
machine men know plenty ef reasons
but not good reasons.
The country believes in President
Wilson and the people will bear a
lot if necessary, that he may put
through some of his proposed reme
dies. Big business will hang out the
red flag, and start the scare if pos
sible, but this big strapping country,
growing by leaps and bounds, and
with the greatest of crop prospects,
can't have a real unhealthy panic if it
wanted to.
Gov. West slipped one over, on The
Dalles Monday when he made a raid
on the "red light" district and gath
ered in about 40, with quantities of
booze and proof, and the sheriff is
now very busy explaining it all. The
cquncil members don't like his inter
ference and are trying to justify
themselves, but West will get away
with it, just as he has gotten away
with all his raids, and the pros
pects look good for some men to do
white slave time.
The direct election of U. S. Sena
tors will mighty soon rock two of our
country's brightest rascals to sleep
if they dare to run. They are Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Root of
New York, both gients intellectually,
yet ever working for the interests of
the big business. These men are migh
ty Btrong with money, and as weak
with the people, and if either dares to
get where votes can decide, he will
go down for the count. And I am bet
ting they are both too wise and too
cowardly to take the chance.
There can always be enough
thoughtless voters found who will
sign a referendum or initiative pe
tition, when smooth circulators are
pflid 5 cents per name to get them.
And enough have been found t o ref
erend the workmen's compensation
bill, and the people will vote on it in
November and bury it. The law as
passed stops ambulance chasing, cuts
off the grafting damage case lawyer
and gives the injured employee the
full verdict, and the people of Ore
gon will see that it remains a law
if the future can be judge by their
past good judgement on referendum
propositions.
Some dav Oretron voters will get
pocket book results out of the great
power given them by reform laws, but
there will have to be some radical i
chances in system first. There will
have to be a prying loose of useless ;
salary drawers; abolishing of need
less commissions and getting public
offices down where the official will
run it as he would have run it if
working for a corporation. We have
cot to chanere an expensive state leg
islature to a business commission; we
have got to have capable county and
city managers, hired because or anil
ity to make good. From city council
to county court and on up to the
crovernor's office is one great, need
less waste of public funds, money
paid out in thousands for value re
not received. But the taxpayers have'
the initiative and a strong DacKing
demanding this looting shall stop. I
The people have the power to enact'
laws to change the whole leaking,1
grafting system, and when goaded
hard enough they will change it. '
DEFENSE
The Enterprise is defending the
county court again.
This time it has quit the dangerous
ground of false statements that
voters deny over signatures, and giv
es three splendid full-grown reas
ons why the recall should stop.
1 Because a recall election failed
to recall the county judge of Klamath
county Monday.
2 Because it will cost considerable
to hold a recall election in this county-
.
3 Because Judge Campbell of this
city decided against the injunction in
Clatsop county for cruising the tim
ber at 12 and a-half cents per acre.
The people of this county know
nothing and care nothing about Klam
ath. It is Clackamas county where
our grievance is. That Judge Worden
beat out the recall has no applicat
ion or significance to our movement.
That it will cost something for a
recall election in this county we all
know. It won't, cost any $5,000 unless
the Enterprise throws its harpoon in
to the printing to the handle, but
the taxpayers have it figured out it
will be cheaper at that price than
the present price.
Because Judge Campbell vacated
the timber cruising injunction in Clat
sop county has no more to do with
this county than the vindication of
the Judge of Klamath. If the courts
decide that the taxpayers shall pay
four and a-half cents more per acre
than we pay, that is Clatsop's and
the Judge's business. We have not
served any injunctions. We are after
the county court that makes these
many contracts without competition.
The Enterprise will have to make
heavier defense than this. It will
have to defend the matters on the
first page of this paper.
THEY are what the taxpayers want
to know about.
STOP IT
William Phillips has a letter on
child beating on page 2, that every
father, mother and teacher should
read, and a position this paper heart-:
ily endorses.
It always appears to me so brutal
for a big man or woman to strike a
little child not big enough to strike
back to rain blows on a poor little
tot who had disobeyed the laws laid
down by teacher or parent.
Where is the parent or teacher who
does not do wrong? And what if a
judge of a court should punish them
with blows of the fist or lashes of a
whip ?
Kid's are kids, they will ever be and
who would have them otherwise?
They will break rules and commands.
They are like puppies, they simply
cant keep in the path of commands
all the time.
And what right has man or woman
to strike them in punishment?
The Courier editor has some kid
dies. They are as mischievously bad
as most kids and they don't alwaj
obey the Big Chief literally. But
they are not pounded into obeyance
when they forget. There's a better
way, and that way doesn't cause joy
and satisfaction when the. father
leaves home for a day or two.
There is occasionally a child born
vicious and bad on which kindness
does no good. But such a child is Un
natural and the parents are to blame.
As Mr. Philips says they should be
fined for having brought it into the
world.
Pounding is brutal , inhuman, de
generating. A whipping takes the
sand out of a child, and does no good.
In New York state a teacher dare
not strike a child. Too many costly
prosecutions have taught them bet
ter. And there should be a law to for
bid any person striking a child. I
have seen a man arrested for pound
ing a horse, and many a man witness
a child beating without a protest
And who ia the Oregon legislator
that will forbid child beating by law?
The county this year will be
called upon to spend considerable
money on betterments and to pro
vide widow's pensions, and to oth
erwise meet current .expenses. If
$5,000 is added to this outlay
either one of two things will re
sult there will be certain im
provement work left undone and
unprovided for, or there will be
a deficit in the county, funds.
Enterprise.
Come on with a few more $50,000
contracts for bridge building and tim
ber cruising and court house building
and let them without competition.!
$5,000 is but a drop in the bucket
compared with what the taxpayers
have had and will have to buck up. If
JK.nno will shake off this svstem. it
will be a bargain day deal for this
county. The. Enterprise is about six
months late with its "retrenchment"
suggestions.
SAME OLD QUESTION
F. A. Jones Wants to know Why the
Enterprise Doesn't Defend Charges
Editor Courier:
Why is it that the Enterprise is
always printing something to try to
scare the voters away from the re
call ? I notice a sketch in most every
issue of the paper telling something
about some other county; how they
failed with the recall or how the tim
ber cruise benefitted the tax roll.
Another time it referred to how Mr.
Olds was hooted down and out at a
public speaking at Needy.
Now voters and taxpayers, if you
will only notice, you will have to ack
nowledge that the Enterprise has not
made any answers in regard to how
the county, court has handled business
affairs. It doesn't make any difference
to us what other counties have done.
The idea is if this county could have
had the timber cruised for $5,250 in
stead of $27,000 for three month's
work. And it is this and other such
contracts unknown to the people that
the recall is based upon.
If any of the complaints headed on
the recall petition are untrue, why
doesn't someone disapprove them so
that the people will see whether they
are doing wrong or not? I have cir
culated a petition in my neighbor
hood and have found three voters out
of forty voters that have refused to
sign.
I am a subscriber both to the En
terprise and Courier to be sure that I
will get the right news at both sides
of this county affair.
Oh yes, if Ed Olds is harming the
recall election, why doesn't someone
answed his letter in last week's Cour
ier ?
F. A. JONES
The "Habeas" is Handy
Clackamas county is certainly
treating J. C. Ainsberrv. the man who
shot Fred Reams of Willamette with
several kinds of mercy.
Two weeks ago he was released on
habeas corpus proceedings by Judge
Beatie, but Sheriff Mass at once ar
rested him on another charge of being
a jail breaker in Wyoming. Governor
West refused extradition papers, so
Judce Beatie azain released him on
habeas corpus proceedings and he was
rushed out of the county in an auto.
Indicted for assault with a danger
ous weapon, a parole breaker in Cal
ifornia, a jail breaker in Wyoming
ex-convict in Arizona yet turned
fro here. It isn't every man who has
a telephone company behind him.
No Substitute Could Do.. This
No inferior substitute, but only the
genuine Foley Kidney Pills could have
rid J. F. Wallich, Bartlett, Nebr., of
his dkiney trouble. He says: "I was
bothered with backache, and the pain
would run up to the back of my head,
and I had spells of dizziness. I took
PnlAv's Kidnnv Pills and thpv did the
work and I am now entirely rid of
kidney trouble.

From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three different kinds of baking powder

SHOULD THE OLD PREACHER BE
SHOT?
Text, "The laborer la worthy of hie
hlre."-I Tim. v, 18.
Sometimes It seems to pay better to
be a faithful horse than to be a faith
ful minister when old age comes on.
I know a wealthy family in the sub
urbs who have retired their faithful
old horse Dobbin. Two new horses,
Firefly and Wireless, do the honors for
the family when company comes from
town. Time was when Dobbin was
the pride of the community. His black,
glossy body and magnificent head al
ways caught a second glance from
every horse lover. Now he's retired;
the pasture Is his. The children hug
his face affectionately. An occasional
trip to town marks his only duty.
One day he was found In the pasture
corner, leg broken no one knew Just
how It happened. "Doe" Briggs, the
veterinarian, was sent for. He shift
ed his cigar, shrugged his shoulders
and said something to the horse. The
mother suddenly remembered a visit
the children had to make to town. A
pistol shot was heard In the direction
of the orchard. When the children re
turned Dobbin was gone.
So Dispose of tho Old Preacher.
An eminent divine of the last century,
now dead, proposed, with delicate Irony,
that It would be an act of humanlta
rlanlsm, when the old minister had
passed his usefulness and become a
burden to himself and others, he should
be taken out to some secluded place
and shot This would relieve many an
embarrassed congregation quickly and
cheaply. An unpleasant business, of
course, but In the language of a busy
world, "business Is business." When a
minister passes fifty or fifty-five years
of age. If he had any sense of propriety,
he would die. After a short and pa
thetic illness any congregation, no mat
ter how unsentimental, would gludly
stop In its course for half a day, prefer
ably Sunday, and give him a funeral
that would be worth while. Beautiful
flowers and complimentary resolutions
would give a tone to the obsequies not
easily' gainsaid and would be a proof
of the final devotion of even tbose who
had been lukewarm during his Incum
bency. When the pulpit committee
would staLd, hat In hand, before some
populur young minister giving blm a
flattering call their kind manner of
concluding the pastorate of his prede
cessor would be impressive and carry
great weight. Some clever person has
recently said that at thirty the minister
is Idolized, at forty criticised, at fifty
martyrized, at sixty oslerized, as sev
enty canonized.
The 8even Ages.
Another very pertinent pamphlet
gives the minister's seven ages. First
the divine summons. Young Samuel in
the temple. The awakening voice call
ing to lay aside other ambitions. The
next, days of preparation, sharpening
the sword. Hard work and much sac
rificerich men's sons do not enter the
ministry. Seven to ten years of the
best days of his young manhood must
be given in preparation. Christ took
thirty. Then he's on the firing line at
a small salary, possibly In debt for bis
education. Books must be bought, and
they're expensive. There is a contin
uation of hardship and sacrifice, but
youth doesn't care. At the fourth pe
riod he's In the heat of conflict. The
sun's at meridian, the battle fiercest
He's busy raising money for churches,
but not for himself. He's not allowed
to dabble In outside business. Rigid
self denial Is still the rule. Children
are to be educated, appearances to be
kept up. There's a thousand charitable
demands on his Income. What of the
rainy day to come? That's the night
mare! Then comes the turn in the tide.
Scarcely perceptible, but surely going
out Hair is turning gray. Church
committees turn away "Too old."
Now the shadows are lengthening.
Nerves are strained to keep up with
younger men. Voice is broken, brain is
Jostled. Other men are forging ahead
he can't keep up. At last Gethsemane
he's pushed out! The church elves
Powder;
Digested
1
mm a pittance, about ?3' a weelt, pos
sibly ?4, which he tries to supplement
by peddling life insurance.
"U. 8. A., Retired."
Suy, church of God, wake up! You
are not fair! The secular United States
government takes care of its old sol
diers; we neglect ours. It is a pretty
severe defeat which compels an army
to leave Its wounded to die on the field.
The church is thrilled by passionate
appeals for the salvation of the hea
then, education of the negro, endow
ment of colleges, building of new
churches, until amid clangor of appeal,
exhortutlon and entreaty the trembling
voice of its old ministers Is unheard.
Manna doesn't fall nowadays; no raven
to carry food; no fish comes with coin,

Take Plenty of Time to Eat
There is a saying that "rapid eat
ing is slow suicide." If you have form
ed the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indi
gestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness
unless corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be thorough
ly masticated and insalivated. Then
when you have a fullness of the stom
ach or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets. Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have been
cured by the use of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agre
