JUST LICENSE.
Punishment by fine is about the
biggest bunco game that justice ever
nut over.
In the case of the poor it is pun
ishment of the innocent, and in the
case of the rich it is no punishment
at all.
A bunch of young bloods will go to
town, hoist in a few and then start
something. A cop gathers them in
and a justice says $5 each.
They are arrested for breaking the
laws, but they are not punished,
A father of a big family, addicted
to the booze habit will get on one of
his periodicals and a cop will pick
him up. A justice sings a five or ten
dollar song and the prisoner is de
tained while the wife or boys go out
and dig up the coin. The punishment
is on the family, not the transgressor
In high up circles some Napoleon
sees a way to skin a community, tak
ing the chances that he has a handi
cap on justice and that he can beat it
to the boodle. He plugs the game
until they get him and then he give.-j
back a part of the plunder in fines.
Where's the punishment ?
The justice scheme tf making a
man lay down a certain number of
dollars for crimes committed is little
less than granting crime licenses.
Lead a man into a jail cell for thir
ty days and that man will have a
think or two coming before he is
nabbed a second time, and his neigh
bors will have a thought or two com
ing on the matter as well..
I remember back in New York state
how it used to be when the grand jury
had finished its work of indicting il
legal liquor sellers in the county.
They marched up before the judge
like a postoffice line-up in a mining
town, and as fast as the judge named
the amounts they countermarched to
he clerks desk and came down with a
part of the profits they had made in
their Sunday thirst parlors.
Good stunt for the county treasurer
but not the least bit of punishment.
And one day the judge changed the
program from fines to imprisonment
in the Buffalo penitenitary, and the
line of march didn't go by the clerk's
desk. They couldn't settle that sen
tence with a check book -a check that
was usually furnished by the brewer
ies. And the result:
It stopped the illegal liquor selling.
It was punishment.
Be he bum or billionaire, no man
likes to hear the bolts slide in the
sockets when he is on the inside. It
restrains him, deprives him of his
freedom, puts a boss over him it is
punishment.
And more of punishment is what
this country needs. Putting Morse be
hind the bars at Atlanta (altho it was
a parody on justice, because of lotting
him right out again) did more to
stop looting by the Big Squeeze than
a string of $29,000,000 Standard Oil
Co. fines which were never paid
or a mile of "dissolution" fines.
There are no doubt Instances of
where justice should be tempered with
mercy, but I do not believe in tem
pering it with coin. I would let the
man go free or give him the cell. 1
would not wedge in a few dollars as
a compromise.
When our courts hand out more im
prisonment and less fines our courts
will have less business.
WHYT
Don't you believe that before long
there will be a legal medium devised
through which the riots and strikes
that are ripping up our country about
every thirty days will be adjusted in
much the same way that cur civil (in
ferences are?
Why congress does not take some
action or make some attempt to stop
these civil wars is what I cannot un
derstand.
Take a railroad strike for illustra
tion. There is a grievance, a sore
snot, and both sides line up, lock
horns and fight it out. The road is
tied up; the shops depending on the
roads close: people must suffer indi
rectly for necessities, shippers must
lose, and so on with any amount of
damage and loss to those not in any
manner connected with the troubles
Can't this great country have some
means to try these riots and strikes
and settle them with a verdict, the
same as we settle our individual dif
ferences ?
Common sense tells any man these
little civil wars can be adjusted, but
congress does not move
And if we don't stop them in
peacible manner, they will keep on
growing bigger and more numerous
until some day there will come one
that can t be stopped.
ANOTHER SACRIFICE
(Portland Journal)
While an 18-year-old boy rode his
motorcycle, a revolver nestled in his
hip pocket. He used the weapon to
shot a dog that barked at him as he
passed.
As a deputy sheriff went in per-
suit of the boy a revolver reposed
snugly in his hip pocket. When the
boy sought to break away after being
arrested, the deputy sheriff used the
weapon to shoot the lad.
Such is the brief history of two re
volvers. Such is the sequel when boys
and men go armed.
If he had carried no weapon, the
boy would be sound and well, and
a deputy sheriff would not have been
guilty of the inexcusable offense of
shooting a fugitive prisoner accused
of nothing worse than tilling a dog
in self defense.
An officer is supposed to go armed;
but if this one had not carried a re
volver, he would not now be guilty of
playing the life of an 18-year-old
boy against a dead dog, an offense for
which he can never forgive himself
and for which society can scarcely
forgive him.
The revolver is one of the greatest
tragedies of civilization, because it is
itself a survival of the jungle.
Its trail from its invention down
through the years to the -present is
red with the lifeblood cf the sacn
flee.
The first use of the ballot tho ludies
of Sacramento ever made was to turn
the scales and recall a crooked mayor.
Two years ago when the Courier ad
vocated the muzzling of dogs, it was
laughed at.
The Journal is not informed as to
the full provocation, but it doubts if
the Marshfield and Bandon plan of
dealing with agitators is the wisest
way. It cannot avoid the conviction
that Governor West was entirely right
when he said to the Portland agita
tors that nothing must be done out
siue ine law, wnicn means that no
governor, no sheriff, no "hief of police
no mayor, no group of citizens, no
authority of any kind should take the
luw into its own hands. Portland
Journal.
The whole issue is summed down to
one proposition in the recall, is the
county managed for the best interests
of the taxpayers. You who think it
is, and you who are satisfied with
present results and taxation, vote to
retain Judge Bcatie. You who are
not satisfied with the management,
and who think the county could be
run for far less money, voto to oust
him for a change.
A little straw signiflcent of the
way the wind is blowing, is reported
to this office. A volunteer circular
of an initiative petition for the $1500
exemption of improvements reports
that of 115 persons asked 100 of them
signed the petition. It's a common
man's bill. It's a move to make those
able pay more of the tax burden. It's
a bill the people will make a law.

WATCH BEATIE "GET BROWN."
Jud ge Beatie says he will get
Brown."
That's his object. He openly says it.
We can prove it.
He doesn't protest at the damage
the Courier did to him. He doesn't
proclaim that his saint-like character
has been smutted by the typograph.
ical error, or that his morals have
gone down another peg in consequence
He just boast he will "get Brown."
Wouldn't "His Honor" like to have
Brown tried before him? Wouldn't
he like to have him found guilty and
be able to pass sentence?
Ninety-nine years in solitary con
finement and with an "Oregon Boot"
attached.
But Judge Beatie. will not try the
Courier editor and his nvilice will not
be admitted as evidence:
It won't be a proposition of "get
ting Brown," but a question of whe
ther the error of printing his name
under the heading of tax rebates was
done, as the indictment charges, with
intent then and there to injure and de
fame," or whether it wa. the result
of an error and was printed because
the Courier had every reason to think
it was from the official records of the
county court.
If Judge Beatie thinks he can "get
Brown" let him hop to it. Let him
proclaim it in the saloons and make
the most of it. While there are a lot
of things he has been able to "get"
it may not be so easy to "get Brown."
The people will watch you get him,
Judge. f
The recall election is on now let us
see what the voters will-do.
BONEHEAD COPS
(Estacada Progress)
Authorities should use caution when
selecting men for police duty and see
that the men clothed with authority
have sufficient brains not to draw, a
gun and shoot indiscretely at the sli
ghtest provocation. One accout of a
wild eyed deputy sheriff's deesire to
be officious, Earl McNoughton, a
Portland boy, lies in a hospital in Ore
gon City in a dying condition, and the
officer, Wm. Mumpower; is lodged in
jail.
Last Sunday in the Estacada Park
another brainless individual wearing
a star as big as the bottom of a dish
pan got mixed up with a bunch of
young fellows of about the same cali
ber as himself, and he too drew a re
volver and fired a shot, butt before he
could again shoot he was locked
tightly in the embrace of Marshal
Ames, who took the fhooting iron
away from him.
This "deputy sheriff" hailed from
Multnomah county and had no author
ity here without a warrant. Had not
Marshal Ames been close at hand, this
deputy too would in all probability
continued firing as long as a cartridge
remained in his revolver and somee in
nocent bystander would have been in
jured or killed.
DIRTY.
What this country needs is what
every free country must set before it
as the great goal toward which it
works an equal opportunity for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
for every ono of its citizens. To ach
ieve this end, we must put a stop to
the improper political domain, no less
than the improper economic domain,
of the great special interests. This
country, its natural resources, its nat
ural advantages, its opportunities, and
its institutions, belong to all of its
citizens. They cannot be enjoyed
fully and freely under any govern
ment in which the specia'. interests as
such have a voice. The supreme poli
tical task of our day, the indespen-
sible condition of national efficiency
and national welfare, is to drive the
special interests out of our public
life.-'lheodore Roosevelt at St.
Paul two years ago.
$100,000,000
Morgan left an estate of $100,000,-
000. He had no right to this great
wealth no right to one-hundrdth part
of it.
Constitutional lawyers tell us that
no law can be framed, and stick, that
will prevent a man from earning all
the money his ability and brains can
pile up.
Perhape so. But laws CAN be fram
ed, and they will stick, that will pre
vent a man from getting these mill
ions dishonestly, and laws can be
framed that will say whn a man dies
and leaves such a bundle, all over a
certain amount shull go to the government.
No man has a moral right and
should not have a legal light, to ac
cumulate and own more money than
his needs can possibly demand. There
enough wealth m this, richest of
all nations, but not enough for all
when a few Morgans cop out one hun
dred million dollars each,
Men are thinking along these lines.
and they are talking. And some of
these days a Morgan with a hundred
millions will be impossible.
The newspapers quote J. E. Hedires
in his speech at Molulla, as advocating
that our government be mude more
paternal, and that we should go back
to more Bimple and more democratic
principles. Mrt Hedges Is on the
wrong side, if the Enterprise quotes
him correctly. These tire the very
principles the recall backers are com
tending for a return to simpler and
more democratic princip'es. But they
know they will never get them through
Judge Beaties' administration.
How the Oregonian enjoys throw
ing the harpoon into W. S. U'Ren.
Monday it had a full heading, "U'Ren
will Desert Roosevelt Party." Prob
ably Mr. U'Ren voted for Roosevelt at
the last election, and there is circum
stantial evidence that two or three
other Republicans in Oregon did the
same. But what of it? They were
far better Republicans fo r bolting
Taft than standing with him. If the
Oregonian undertakes to smoke out
every Republican that voted for
Roosevelt and Wilson, it had better
get its smudge going early to get com
plete erutrns by 1914 .
Tuesday's Enterprise had a con
temptible reference to the candidates
that have been placed in nomination
by the recall petitions, that will be
resented by many a voter in Clacka
mas County.
Hard up for a defense, it made slur
ring reference to H. S. Anderson and
J. W. Smith, and its fling to Mr.
Smith it prints:
. They have nominated a man for
county commissioner, who, when
he ran once before for the office,
some five years ago, could not
muster enough votes to get the
place at the hands of the people.
That this man should be nomi
nated by the disgruntled ones is
not particularly surprising, as
from the first peep of this re
call fiasco it has been common gos
sip that he was in the movement
solely because he believed his van
ity would be tickled by the nom-ina'tion.
Any man who knows J, W. Smith of
Macksburg, and the most of the men
of the county do know him, know this
is a cowardly, lying attack, and it
shows the county cour. is mighty
hard up for defense material.
J. W. Smith was defeated for county
commissioner, defeated because the
Republican party was in high power
and a Kepublica nnommation was
equivalent to an election. Robert
Beatie, Democratic county judge,
would have also been defeated, but for
the fact that Republican machine lead
ers turned traitor to tho Republican
party and elected him. It was a
traitorous party deal, one that would
take the halo from Tammany Hall,
and today we see Frank Jaggar, Re
publican central committeeman,
George C. Brownell, posing as a Re
publican leader and the Ftand-pat Re
publican Enterprise, all pulling every
party strong and working every par
ty trick to keep a Democrat in office
and keep the voters of the county
from passing judgment on his admin
istration.
Of Mr. Anderson, the nominee for
judge, the Enterprise says this:
As to his running mate on the
forlorn hope ticket, perhaps it is
sufficient to say that the recall
boosters desired to have him nom
inated because he is believed to
have some few simoleons that he
will put at the disposal of
those who will conduct the cam
paign. What a CONTEMPTIBLE attack.
Being absolutely unable to find a weak
spot to strike Mr. Anderson, that cor
poration sheet hits foul and insinuates
that he was nominated for the money
he will put into the campaign.
The people who nominated Mr. An
derson don't know whether he has a
dollar or not, and they don't care.
The people don't know to what par
ty he belongs and don't care.
Mr. Anderson won't go out and buy
an election. He will go before the
people as simply standing for clean
politics, for an honest government for
this county, for economy and as rec
ognizing that if elected he would be
the employee of the people, not the
"boss."
The Enterprise is more than dirty
it is foul, unfair. The day was
when such stuff went, but that day
has long passed in Oregon, and here
is tipping the Enterprise, and the
gang that dictates the editorials, that
its chickens will come home to roost
thrive. Use the Oregon City way and
they vanish.
TWO ANNOUNCE FOR GOVERNOR
Oregon City Has Two Candidates for
Higheset State Office.
Two Repudlican candidates in this
city have announced for the govern
orship of Oregon this week, G. B.
Dimick and W. S .U'Ren.
Mr. Dimick made his announce
ment at the German Verein picnic in
J. W. Smith's grove at Macksburg
Sunday, and he came out square and
plain for state economy in state ad
ministration; the abolishing of need
less officials and commissions; the
curtailment of expenses in the two
state colleges, and for bed-rock eco
nomy and efficient service from pub
lic officials.
W. S. U'Ren announced his candi
dacy through the Orego ,ian Monday,
and while he did not ouf'ine his plat
form, his friends know he stands for
the proposed $1500 exemption amend
ment on homes and improvements; the
abolishing of the state senate and for
a new system of government of the
state, whereby every official will be di
rectly responsible for the results of
his office.
There will be many other Repub
lican candidates for governor; there
will be Democratic candidates, and no
doubt independent candidates, and
next year will see one of the hottest
campaigns in Oregon, not only over
governor, but U. S. Sentar and legis
lative candidates.

Suprising Cure of Stomach Trouble
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don't
imagine that your case is beyound
help just because your doctor fails to
give you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle,
Plainsfield, N. J., writes: "For over a
month past I have been troubled with
my stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain's adver
tising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from
people who had been cured by Cham

them. I have taken nearly three

In Seattle last week sailors, soldiers
and a city mob wreked the I. W. W.,
socialist and Salvation Army head
quarters, carried the office furniture
into the street and burned it.
The Oregonian's press dispatch
states "the police offered not the
slightest resistence."
The details relate how the mob
smashed in the plate glass windows
of the socialist headquarters, while the
police stood by and laughed.
This was anarchy plain rebellion,
revolution, riot, and any man who
took part in it, or any official who
countenanced ' it, denounced his flag
and the constitution.
This paper has ever and will ever
stand for the law. It will never stand
by a law violator, but every issue in
the year it will stand for a jury trial
for the man accused.
Wrecking headquarters to even up
with individuals is a dead wrong way
to settle coast differences. Burning
property in the street is anarchy in
its worst form, and abetted by officials
it is treason.
Oregon City handled this matter
and handled it right. Three men,
street speakers were thrown into jail
and the word went out to "come to
Oregon City."
Cool heads saw the consequences.
The men were released and Mayor
Jones publicly invited all I. W. W.'s to
come to Oregon City, and so long as
their talks were temperate they could
talk their heads off.
And our I. W. W. troubles ended
in fifteen minutes.
Up at Bandon the people deported
an editor because they said he had
reviled the flag. Over his own signa
ture in the Oregonian the newspaper
man says "I have never uttered a
word against the flag, but on the con
trary have a wholesome respect for
it."
This man was entitled to a fair
trial. It was not granted to him, bu
personal force was used and he was
driven out of the country.
the result will be trouble in Ban
don. Today money is being raised to
buy him a new printing plant, and the
raisers say he will go back to Bandon
and he will go back to stay.
And no doubt martial law will pre
vail, with no end of trouble and expense.
In the rioting in Portland last week
four girls were arrested, all under 20
years of age, one being but 14 They
were attempting to talk in favor of
the cannery strike they were engaged
in. Any number of people who had
absolutely no part in the riot, were
clubbed and injured.
As we have stated before there are
laws enough to put any man in jail
who should be put there without the
people becoming anarchists and tramp
ing. on tho constitution.
