JUST A WORD
Courier firoes to
voters of the county will
have Baid whether the present county
court shall continue, or whether two
new managers shall step in.
The Courier has worked hard for
the recall movement because it be
lieves the movement is right and for
the best interests of the people of this
But we will accept the verdict of
the voters and sustain it.
If the county court wins, this paper
will not squall or moan.
If the recall wins this paper will
not cackle or crow.
Thin flection is known and the is
sues are known in every corner of
fh coimt.v. The interest is wide
spread, and there can be no dodging
or explaining why the cause did or
did not win.
Next Saturday the voters will de
cide and this paper will stand by tne
decision.
And this is what we should all do
for we can't get away from the ver
dict. ARE WE QUALIFIED?
"The Courier has only been two and
a half years in Oregon," is one of the
defenses put up by the county court.
'Tis true. Once upon a time the
founder of Oregon City hadn't been a
resident that long.
Once upon a time George C. Brown
ell and Joseph Hedges weren't voters
here.
Once upon a time Judge Beatie was
as fresh from Pendleton as the Cou
rier editor was from New York and
PERHAPS his reputation was just as
fresh.
But all this isn't argument.
Lord's Oregon laws do not pre
scribe a man must be a resident of a
county 'steen years beffore he may
be eligible to protest against condi
tions that look bad and smell bad.
Joseph E. Hedges himself cannot
point out a precedent where an editor
is disqualified from printing actual
conditions, until he has lived 14 years
in the state and Mr. Hedges could
find one if any lawyer on earth could.
When Messrs. Frost and Brown
bought the Courier January 1, 1912,
it was with the full intention of run
ning it for the best good of the peo
ple; for the best men for public of
fice; for the little man's cause every
time against the big man in short
for principle, rather than coin.
We have no doubt mado mistakes,
and we will no doubt make others,
but in the limit of our understanding
we will at all times be honest. We
will stand with a man when he stands
right and we'll part with him when
he goes wrong. And we think the
time will come when the people of
Clackamas count will absolutely be
lieve this.
We favor the recall because we do
not believe the county court is man
aged for the interests of the many
for the interests of the tax-burdened
people of this county.
Wo believe it is wasteful and ex
travagant or incompetent.
We believe fully $00,000 could have
been saved to the taxpayers on the
court house, timber cruising, bridge
contracts anil sheep grazing m this
county since Judge Boatie took office.
And believing this, believing that
he has been the poorest manager this
county has hud in years, this paper
has helped to bring about the recall
election.
Win or lose, we shall keep right on
running the Courier along the lines of
public honesty, and some day we will
make the most of you admit that,
barring judgment, our heurt is in the
right place, and that WE CAN'T BE
BOUGHT.
The law snys the county judge
shall receive $1200 a year and that
tho commissioners $3 per day and mi
lage. Ask Judge Beatie how much
milage he has drawn since he has been
in office. Then look up Judge Ryan's
administration and see where he did
NOT have tho county pay his fare.
How Money
An Eastern Bank recently had a bank
book brought iu that they had not seen
for nineteen years and on which no mon
ey had boeu drawn or deposited since
1871. In that year f 800 was deposited.
Compound interest had increased the
$800 to $2,200, $1,500 clear velvet to the
depositor, money he didu't have to turn
his finger over for. This illustrates the
wonderful power of compound interest.
After you work for money, your money
works for you.

EDITOR
YOU FARMERS
Saturday of this week you are lin-
j nn no-Ainst a nnsr that has run
and almost absolutely, controlled this
county for years.
Now play it as the ring plays it.
Vnn mn bet vour chances for hea
vpn and win that the "county ring"
will have every one of its supporters
at the polls Saturday.
Now you be there, have your wife
there, your boys and girls there, who
are voters.
Never mind your crops, your work
fnr onfl dav.
Get to the polls and vote. Let noth
ing stop you. If you did not register
in 1912, or if your wife did not regis
ter this month, go and vote just the
same you can be sworn in.
If you don't do this, then don't ask
the Courier to stand behind you on
anv more of vour fights. The poll
lists will tell the story, and we are
going to know who did and who did
not put a day s worn aneaa oi u coun
tv ficht acainst a county ring.
Wo hnlieve vou farmers WILL vote,
We believe you fully appreciate the
work of this paper in standing with
you, and if you do your part and lose,
we will stand with you again until you
win.
It looks like victory all over for
Saturday. The "county ring" has
given up the fight in the country pre
cincts. They now depend on Willam
Bt.te. Orecon Citv. Milwaukie and Os
wego to pull them through. They have
given up Canby, Gladstone, Jennings
Lodge, Oak Grove and Estacada.
There will be some big surprises in
Oregon City and Oswego for the ring,
if the word or voters count ior any
thing, and keep your eye on Willam-
otto.
But the one important, vital thing
to do is to vote. You farmers must do
vour dutv. You have brought the
fight, now finish it.
A WORD TO THE WOMEN
Tn tho Indies of Clackamas County
Saturday of this week you will have
your first opportunity and responsi
bility for a part in the government
of this county.
It has been published that three
fourths of vou had proclaimed your
views three weeks in advance that
you were for the county court.
The Courier doesn t know how you
will vote. It is not advising you how
to vote, hut it knows the newspaper
LIED when it said three-fourths of
you had proclaimed, like ward heelers
your advance cnoice wnen you regis
tpred. The editor of this paper simply asks
that you thoroughly know what
and whom you are voting for, and he
believes you will do just this.
The credit of which way Satur
day's election goes is going to be
largely given to you, for the reason
that the big registration in the county
shows you are going to take a big
part in the selection of the candidates.
Look over the two candidates for
judge and commissioner. Look over
their records, their character, their
standings. Determine which stand for
the most you stand for; which you
think would better serve for moral
as well as financial betterment in the
county; measure Mr. Anderson and
Mr. Beatie; consider the charges and
the answers, the increasing taxation
and the defense of the court, and then
vote, not as your neighbor votes, not
as your husband votes, but as your
judgment tells you to vote.
Do this, and you will have done
your duty to yourself and tho ballot
just given you.
George C. Brownell said in his Can
by speech as reported to this office
that Mr. Anderson had nothing to
recommend him for county judge ex-
ceDt he had sold a lot of butter,
Judge Beattie has to recommend him
as a salesman a valuable franchise
that practically covers the whole of
Clackamas county for evermore to lay
pipe lines and ought to be worth nun
dreds of thousands in tne years
come, and he gave it all away to
Portland firm hair, hado and all
to
and the records do not show that he
even got paid for skinning it.
Brownell should have known that
making jokes at the women voters, as
he did at t'unby, is dynamite just
now, and he should have known that
his attempting to riducule Mr. An
derson and his splendid record with
the Clear Creek Creamery Co., was
the poorest of campaign stuff.
Ever heard a word or read a word
against Mr. Anderson or Mr. Smith,
the recall candidates? And see the
avalanche of charges against Blair
and Beatie.

Those Enterprise cartoons were oh,
so clever.
Wnnder if Georee C. Brownell yet
thinks there are none behind the re
call in Oregon City but E. D. Olds
and M. J. Brown.
Rut one exchange comes to this of
fice that criticizes President Wilson
for his Mexican policy of peace and
fair play The Oregonian.
Tho Enterprise tip was 8 to 1 that
the Wild West show would show on
Sunday, and its county court guess
is just about as renaoie.
Saturday of this week you voters
may show the county ring the recall
law is bigger than they, or you may
kill the recall in Oregon for twenty
years. Think it over.
Tf vou taxpayers refuse to use the
recall next Saturday, you will pray
for it later on, when there will be
noun to provide it. It's yours. JNOW
use it, or forever quit your kicking.

There were current rumors in the
city as early as Friday last, rumors
talked on the streets and in the of
fices, that before the special session
of the grand jury called for this week,
an effort would be made to "get
Brown again." It's a hard crowd to
ro un ae-ainst. when one tackles the
iob-holders and politicians of this
cuonty, ana tne courier Knew iuu weu
it would not be any pink tea affair
or mothers' meeting when it went into
the recall fight for the common people
of this county. They have the power
to harass, to keep one jumping side
ways, to make it expensive and wear
him out. So long as friends stand by
and results are obtained, we can stand
the hazing, and will, but remember,
voters, that the time to stand by is
Saturday of this week a time when
your loyalty counts.
DREAMS COME TRUE.
( Salem Messenger.)
We do not believe there need be any
fear of Socialists or their proaganda.
We are adopting: socialistic measures
every year, though reluctant to admit
it. Twenty years ago tne initiative
and referendum, the recall, income
tax, direct primary, popular election
of United States senators, commission
government and municipal ownership
of public utilities were all looked up
on as radical socialistic dreams, and
those who favored them looked upon
them as dangerous demagogues. The
present secretary of state, upon whom
rests today the safety or tne nation,
less than twenty vears aero, was look
ed upon as a visionary preacher of
unsafe and un-American doctrines, un
fit to be trusted with the affairs of
government. How times and the peo
nle have changed! The danger line is
where one man's rights leave off and
another's begin. The laws are for all
alike and the safety of the republic
lies in freedom of speech, thought and
action, under, and observance of the
laws of the land, abolishing as we find
it necessary, those laws, forms and
customs which conflict with the rights
of men. Courier.
"SAVE WHO CAN"
Don't Let the "Ring" Fool You
Beat Beatie and Save Blair
to
If we can't save Beatie, save
Blair." is a scheme that won't work
and the county court supporters will
find it about the hottest thing they
ever handled.
The scheme is tricky and sharp, and
it doesn t need a mind reader to de
termine where it originated.
Fearing Beatie can't win, the next
chance is to throw him down, trading
Beatie for Blair, Tor with the elec
tion of Blair there would be a major
ity of two on the county court,Mat-
toon and Blair, and the "ring" would
yet have control.
This won t work lor two reasons,
First, the voters of this county
won't trade J. W. Smith for Nick
Blair, even if the "deal" would defeat
Beatie. It s a change in the control
of the county the voters want.
Second, if it should work; if Beatie
was "traded" and Blair elected, the
voters of this county will put on
county recall election on the same day
as the general election this fall, and
they will send Mr. Mattoon to join
his friend Beatie
A special election, held at the same
tune as the general election in No
vember, will not cost the taxpayers
anything but the ballot printing, and
just as surely as this game should
be worked, William Wattoon will have
to face the recall, for the voters don
t
propose to have any such kind
lawyers' scheme slipped over
them.
But the mere existence of such
of
horse-trading scheme looks mighty
bad for Judge Beatie. It aeknowled
ges his defeat and sends out the call
Napoleon sent out at Waterloo,
"Save who can.
There is only one way for recall-
ers to vote if they want a change in
the present conditions, and that is
to vote and elect BOTH men on the
recall.
Defeating Beatie and retaining
Blair won t change much,
Don't let the "ring" slip this one
over. Vote the recall straight

COURIER, THURSDAY,
m IS THIS
ATTACK IDE?
WHAT WAS THERE BEHIND EN
TERPRISE STORY?
ERE ARE STRAIGHT FACTS
And they are Backed by City Council
and Chief of Police
T.ast Thursday's Enterprise came
out with an article under full head-'
ings in which firec hief W. H. Long
declared the big woolen mills were
fire trap, exits locked, hydrants
rusted, escapes blocked, and so on
with a column article that no doubt
put fear in the heart of many a moth
er in this city, who had daughters at
work in the mills.
Chief Long declared he would noti
fy the state factory inspectors and
have the city council investigate the
big plant.
The next day Mayor Jones, council
man Lone and Chief of Police Shaw
visited the mills, went through them
from top to bottom, and repudiated
the story.
And this reminds us
Three times since the Courier editor
has been in Oreeon City have men
come to him privately and reported
serious conditions that existed in the
several mills here.
One was reported as a case that
white men could not stand in
the west side 'paper mills. A friend
from the east was visiting the editor,
and a pass was asked for to show
him through. The mill managers do
not know to this day that there was
any other reason for this trip than
observation. We found the charges
of the man absolutely untrue in the
department he referred to,and abso
lutely untrue in every charge except
the long hours of the shift, which
have now been shortened to eight
hours.
And the Courier didn't spring a
scare story,
Another man, almost ready to take
the count, came to the Courier one
night and told of intolerable condi
tions in a mill on the east side. He
said men couldn't live under such
working conditions, and his appear
ance bore out his statements.
And we found the man had been
discharged for habitual drunkenness,
that he carried liquor to the mill ev
ery day, was unfit for work, and his
own comrades denounced Ins charges,
And the Courier didn't "spring some
thing."
Just before election last fall this
charge of locked doors at the woolen
mill was made to the Courier and
personaly the editor saw those doors
the outside screen doors fastened with
leather strings that a kick would
break. And we didn t spring a sen
sation.
Last Saturday the Courier editor
asked permission to go into every
room or the big plant, it was grant
ed. We found on the top floor' three
exits, two fire escapes and two ele
vators, all in working order.
We found on the second floor three
exits, two elevators and two fire es
capes, besides tne bridges, all in
working order.
We found on the first floor, where
the greater number of girls and
weavers work, three outside door ex
its, two basement exits, the fire es
capes, and twenty open windows on
the east side, where any employe
could easily escape in case of fire.
We found the greated windows re
ferred to to be two windows opening
from a stairway where screens had
been put over to prevent the windows
irom being broken by the feet of those
going up and down the stairs, and
these windows did not open onto a
fire escape, and could not be used as
an exit in any case of fire.
We found two outside screen doors
fastened with leather strings, and the
manager afterward explained that as
both these doors were some distance
from where anyone worked, this pro
tection was necessary to keep out out
siders, that any person from the
street could walk in unobserved, and
that some time ago unknown persons
1 1 1 . .1 . ,l .
nau suppeu in ana cut tnrougn
quantity of warp.
ine doors swinging in, referred to
by Mr. Long, had been taken off and
were being reversed. The manager
stated these doors were always kept
wioe open, ior ventilation, and point
ed out the weights, yet in place, to
noia tnem open.
The wool bins in front of the win
dows on the third floor, were two feet
high, only two had any wool in them
and any child could easily get over
tnem to a window in case of emer
gency.
And so on down the line.
Now listen. This paper will jump
and jump, hard any conditions in any
mill that are unsafe or unjust to the
workmen or the girls, when we can
know there are such conditions, but
we won't do it on rumor, we won't do
it until investigation makes good. We
won t do it just to knock.
Take the mills out of Oregon City
ana we would see grass growing be
tween the paving blocks on Main
street.
Take them away and the home you
have, today worth $3,000, would not
be worth $1,000.
Close them up and every farm ad
jacent to Oregon City would be cut
in vaiue one nan.
The woolen mills produce one mil
lion dollars a year in goods. It has
been a permanent industry for forty
years, running steadily and giving em
ployment to that class the paper
mills do not employ the girls, the
boys, old men. It is light work, and
steady work. It employs 300 people.
This plant is inspected by state of
ficials regularly and Secretary
Schwab says an inspector was there
only five days before Mr. Long. The
plant has an automatic fire system
that cost $12,000 to install, and where
the burning of a match under the
paraphine would open the three inch
mains and flood the rooms.
"It isn't possible that we would
neglect our hydrants," said Mr.
Schwab. "We must protect our plant
and our employees. We have spent
thousands of dollars on modern sys
tems to make a serious fire impossi
ble. Insurance men and the state fac
tory inspectors make regular inspec
tions. We have done everything that
money can do for protection of the
plant and the workers, and it is hard
to understand this complaint, after
these many years and it being made
without giving us a chance to prove
AUG. 14 1913
its falseness before it was printed."
The sensational story as printed in
the Enterprise of course goes into the
Portland dailies and then to the
country papers of the state. And the
results are that it will be difficult to
get needed help and it will make par
ents of boys and girls working there
uneasy.
The whole matter is to be regret
ted. It was an unfortunate story,
one of those stories of which Oregon
City is getting far too many and far
too much of a notoriety it should not
have.
The bridge and timber cruising con
tracts alone are enough to justify any
man to vote for the recall.
Frank Jaggar, George C. Brownell,
Joseph E. Hedges, R. B. Beatie, O. D.
iby, and others. These are the men
who don't want the recall to win.
The Ballot Form It's Simple
Here is the ballot form of the re
call ballott you will vote next Satur
day. It is easily understood.
Make a cross (x) between the num
ber and name of each candidate voted
for.
For County Judge Vote for One
12 H. S. Anderson
13 R. B. Beatie
14 N. Blair
15 - J. W. Smith
All the voter has to do to express
his choice is to put a "x" after the
number and before the name of the
candidate.
$13,658.92 More
Timber Cruising
Two more timber cruising bills have
been paid, one for $10,341.16, and
another for $3,317.76, making a total
this month of $13,G58.92, on top of
the other big payments.
Voters, you SHUU.UJ worry.
The Molalla Meeting
The recall meeting at Molalla was
well attended by both men and the
ladies and the closest attention was
eiven Rev. Sniess in his arraignment
of Judge Beatie for neglect of duty
and indifference to law in connection
with the state board of health. Ihe
candidates were introduced and made
short talks. Other speakers address
ed the meeting and were listened to
with interest. Our county treasurer
was there and verified our report of
the county finances. Attorney Eby
was also there and we expect a live
wire report as soon as he can get his
battery charged by the same gang
who has fooled the tax payers for
years.
Our representatives while there
learned that we unintentionally did
those people an injury by publishing
a rumor that under the circumstances
had no valid foundation and we very
much regret our indiscretion during
the heat of this campaign.
WOMEN SHOULD THINK
Don't Let Political Stories Influence
Your Votes
(Twilight Correspondence)
It is the report of many that the
towns will favor the retention of our
nresent Countv management, the re
sult of a strong womens' vote. This
should be offset by the ladies of the
country exercising their rigrt or sur
frape freelv. There should be no hes
itancy on their part in tne casting oi
their first ballot, and thoy should as
sume their recently given rights, not
only as a privilege but as a auty, un
less they do, tne country win, as a
whole, be loser by reason ot the con
ferring of suffrage upon the women,
It s to be honed that a large woman s
vote may be registered next Saturday,
Ever since the building of perma
nent roads began in Clackamas county
trunk lines or main thoroughfares
have been given the preference over
the less important public highways.
The present County management has
reversed this practice and are now
buildiner laterals first, saying to tax
payers adjoining the former, either
make your own improvements or wade
the mud. Verily a wise old guy is at
present in charge or our anairs.
A dav or two since the Morning En
terprise tickled Canemah's palate at
the instance of Judge Beatie with the
statement that two automobiles had
traversed the river road between New
Era and Oregon City, reporting its
condition superior to the South End
hiehway. Yesterday a tendertoot enu
merated one hundred and forty-six
autos nassinff over the latter road
this inspiring hope that the Judge
had relented and Twuignt was not to
be deprived of her only asset, a mud
hole, for a se ason at least.
Judge Beatie, in his rantings before
the people in an endeavor to force
his services on them, makes merry
with the County printing matter. The
Judge should read up and from the
public press ascertain how distasteful
it is to the intelligent people of this
country to see a public official throw
all the political crumbs into his own
waste basket, as does the Judge the
printing of this county into HIS PA
PER THE ENTERPRISE. His fre
quent references to this subject does
not tend to increase respect ior mm
but to the contrary exhibits his nar
rowness and greed, the calibre of the
man, a 22 short at least, and but
poorly primed. Many laws in many
states prohibit such misuse of public
funds, but with the judge, one of his
cardinal principles fully outlined by
himself in his repeatel explanations
as to why competition was not in
acted in the expenditure of the
peoples' money, is to do as he pleases
when the law is not explicit, whether
it is right or wrong. Do we need that
kind of a man to work for us, a man
who looks after his own interests
first, his employer's afterwards, pro
vided there is anything left on the
table? We are one of many who be
lieve that his services are no longer
a necessity in this county and that
