OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JULYfll,
1913
CAN JUDGE BEATIE
ANSWER THESE?
Continued from Page 9)
did Dr. Norris send that letter of Ap
ril 11th? . Why did Mr White tell
those who called at his office before
the last meeting of th eboard on July
22nd, that decisive action had been
taken by the board previous to that
time? If the Enterprise and the judge
will call for it they will "be able to
find men in Oregon City who called
at the office of the state board of
health before their last meeting and
they were told that no decisive action
had been taken before that time. Four
men were told that the last meeting
was onlv an informal affair. And Dr,
White is them an who told them. Now
if decisive action was taken as Dr
White is the man who told them. Now
then it must have taken on March 28th
as the letters of Dr. White state and
this is confirmed by Dr Norris in his
action in sendingt hat 'letter to Dr.
White which reads
"My resignation will be handed to
the County Judge as demanded by the
State Board of Health."
That no action was taken by the
State Board after March 31st, until
after my letter was published in the
Courier July 10th, is proved by Dr.
White's letter June 30th, 1913:
Rev. Henry Spiess .
Clackamas, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
Thereh as been but one brief meet
ing of theS tateB oard of Health since
the one held in March. Thism erely for
the adoption of the text book in phys
iology, and no action was taken in re
gard to the Clackamas County mat
ter.
And this letter hec loses by saying:
"In my judgement the matter rests
now entirely in the hands of the cit
itizens of Clackamas County.
Yours very truly,
Calvin S. White

"As Dr. White speakirg as secre
tary of the Board, says no decisive
action has yet been taken, but prom
ises that it will be taken shortly."
Will the reader please read the let
ter itself of Judge Beatie ?
Oregon City, Ore.
Dear Sir:
Answering your inquiry of today,
the board has taken no decisive action
in regard to the matter of Dr. Norris
since giving the official information
that Dr. Norris had not resigned.
Will the reader please look at that
word "since?"
Dr. White does not say there had
been no decisive action before that
letter of July 14th. Hes ays: "there
has been no decisive action 'since' he,
Dr. White, was given the official in-
. formation." There had been decisive
action taken March 28th, but because
it had not obeyed, they would take def-
. inite action on the situation which has
arisen because of the disobedience of
their former action. Look at Dr.
White's letter again:
"A special meeting of the board will
be held within the next ten days and
a definite action taken ont-. way or th
other, and you will be promptly noti
fied of that action."
Calvin S. White
Look at the beginning of that let
ter: "answering your inquiry of to
day." Dr. White had received that let
ter that day, July 14th, and of course
they had taken no definite or decis
ive action "since" receiving it. But he
does not say that no decisive action
had been taken before that day, so the
old action of March 28th stood good
until confirmed or reverse.d. It was
confirmed on July 22d, and not revers
ed.
I am ready to meet cither the Judge
or a representative of the Enterprise
and discuss this matter before the

Paper Open to Circus Mumigt-rs but

Editor Courier:
Pardon another word upon the mat

of the Enterprise are closed to the
pastors of the city, and open to the
wall-eyed ex-newspaper man who rep
resents the WildWest aggregation,
your columns are our only recom-ce.
Either the editor of the Enterprise or
the dudo whose last mime rhymes
with burdock so falsified what actu
ally occurred between him and the
preachers that one would not have rec
ognized the controversy were it not
for the names and the heading. His
"Several hours" conversation lusted
exactly thirty-five minutes. He was
not in sight when tho writer had his
conversation with Mr. Stipp and Mr.
Mass. The suggestion to squelch the
"Movies" an impossibility under state
law, Sunday baseball, etc., was his
own suggestion nd did not originate
with tho preachers, though I confess
there are a number of forms of
amusement in this vicinity that also
come under the statute. He offered to
bribe the ministers with half
the gate receipts if they would keep
still for "Charity." Finally he insin
uated that he was going to show, de

"There is only one way, the recall,"

It is under way. It has not taken an

was aroused, the mass meeting was
called and you know the rest.
Now, Mr. Taxpayer, it is up to

If this recall should fail, vou won't
have another in Clackamas county
