OREGON CITr COURIER PUBLISHING. COMPANY, PUBLISHER M. J. BROWN, A. E, Subscription Price $1.50. Official Paper for the Farmers M. J. BR.OWN, PORTLAND PAYING ALTY THE PEN Through a decision of the Supreme Court of Oregon the city of Portland loses title to lands worth $00,000,000, These lands compose its waterfront, the ownership of which, by private monoDolv. is thus confirmed. What ever the legal phases may be with which the Supreme T)ourt justifies this decision, the substantial fact is that private parties are given title to val uable lands for which they have not naid a penny, and which the former owner the people never intended to convey to them. The history of the case begins in 1862 when the State legislature grant ed permission to owners of uplands to build wharves on the publicly-owned submerged lands along the shore, out to deep water. This act did not trans fer title to the lands. The legislature, as agent of the owners, only allowed certain nidividuals to use the lands for certain individuals to use the lands for taken advantage of until the whole water front of the city has been oc cupied by private individuals and the river encroached upon so that its channel has been narrowed to half its natural width. Now, through some legerdemain which lawyers can ex plain, but not justify, these tolerated Bquatters have been declared owners. The people of Portland, whose indus try and enterprise made this water front worth $60,000,000, have been de nied ownership of any of it. Of course there is indignation in Portland. It is not lessened any by the fact that Seattle, the city's chief rival, still owns a part ot its watertront, and will now be better able to attract trade monopoly-gripped Portland. Portland might have looked with in difference on this court decision had not the voters of the city and State allowed themselves to be fooled last fall by Chas. H. Shields and the mon opoly forces he represented. A consti tutional amendment was before them for approval which, if adopted, would have empowered the people to break such a monopoly as has just been con firmed. This amendment provided for a tax on land values by the State, and further allowed counties and cities to raise all local revenues thru the single tax. Had this amendment been adopted the holders of the court approved titles to the waterfront could now be requested to either pay a heavy tax on this $60,000,000 prop erty or surrender it. But the amend ment was defeated. The monopolizat ion of its waterfront is only a small part of the penalty that Portland must pay for that result, The vote against the amendment in Portland was about two to one. There was no good reason for defeating it. Most of those who voted against it did so because they had been deceived. They had been told by monopoly agents and monopoly controlled papers, like the Portland Oregonian, that a tux on land values would bear heavily on small home owners and farmers, and would ex empt monopolists like these water front grabbers. This was all absurdly false, of course. It seems strange that so many failed to remember that only a very small proportion of land val ues is owned by farmers or small home-owners, so that a single tax on land values must bear lightly upon them, and must bear most heavily on big city land owners and franchise monopolists. If they will thinjk over the matter now they will realize how badly the bhielus-Orcgonian monopoly crowd buncoed them. But it is not too late to remedy mat ters. When the people of Portland and of Oregon get tired of paying tribute to monopolists, they can change their constitution so as to permit taxation of land values instead of labor. They can do so at the very next election if they wish. As long as they delay do ing (SO they will be plucked by privi leged interests in spite of all railing at monopolies. As long as Oregon votes down singlo tax monopoly in Oregon will flourish and the peoplo of Oregon live a hand-to-mouth exist ence. No amount of faith in the fairy tales of monopoly agents can proven'., that.

A Portland judge suspended sen tence on a sorrowful vagrant who wanted work. "You go to Oregon City instead of jail," said the judge. A neat compliment to the enterprise and activity of our town-people, but a deucedly awkward way of expressing it, Judge. According to a decision handed down by Judge Eakin, Chief Shaw now finds that he acted in that capac ity during 1912. It has taken Ed al most a year to find out this important bit of information, and yet strangely enough tho lawbreakers caught on to the fact in a hurry. Clackamas county farmers will be interested in knowing that Senator's Lane and Chamberlain both voted down the Jones amendment to the Un derwood bill, placing jute grain bags on the free list after the Ames bag company of Portland flooded the sen ators with telegrams. ' 9 m w Walter Manning, the Portland fire man, who modestly claimed to have rescued a drowning man from the Willamette river, after diving 85 ft. from the Broadway Bridge, and whose story was as cold-blooded a lie as ever "got by" a city editor, will now probably sign up in vandeville. Louis Fellebam. a 15-vear old mes senger boy of Portland, was given 82,Y5U with instructions to deposit same. The pile was too alluring to Louis, who decided on a shopping tour to Oregon City. After outfitting among local merchants the lad felt that Frisco wasn't any too good for him, and was at the depot waiting for a south bound train when Chief Shaw put an end to his short dream of wealth. The lure of the West, the desire to see a real live cow-boy. led two small boys of this city into rather serious mischief. They set out on a stolen horse to find the man of their dreams. Had the little tots been old enough to realize the first lesson of the front tier the fate of tho horse "rustler" they might havo hesitated before ap propriating "hoss" flesh in such bold fashion, voung Perrine's sentence was stretched several years Saturdav when Judge Campbell re-sentenced the youthful bank robber to a minimum Man-About-Town of ten years. "About nine years more for me," muttered Perrine as Sheriff Mass led him from the court room. His minimum had previously been one year. Evidently the young bandit fig ured on annexing one of the goxern or's goodly supply of pardons. If Judge Dimick is quoted correct ly, he would purge the old time bal loon from the pages of county fair history past, present, and future once and for all. As the judge is head of the Clackamas county fair, this startling statement but paves the way for a keen disappointment that will scatter precedent to the four winds, and sadden the heart of the old fashioned man, who regarded the fair as part of the balloon ascension. That was an exciting little celestial party pulled off in a box car on the P. E. & E. siding at Canby last week, when Ah Slam, a broad shouldered Mongolian tie juggler, struck his sleeping friend, Ah Sleep, an even half dozen blows with the sharp end of a hatchet. Lucky for Ah Sleep all the blows were struck on his skull, for had one of the mighty wields sev ered an arm or a leg he wouldn t have been able to defend himself, in the valiant way he did, when finally he awoke from his slumbers. The Chink appeared in court Tuesday to testily against his assailant, with sev. eral Royal Gorges and a Grand Can yon or two across the top of his head. THE DOLL PEACEMAKER. From the Apache country comes an Interesting tale. It tells how, many years ago, a bond of Apaches went on the warpath and could not be put back on the reservation. But they went back willingly when persuaded of the white man's good intentions, and this Is how It came about: The soldiers found a stray Indian kiddle, a papoose, aud brought her to the encampment Too young to have the adult Indian's stoicism, she cried and could not be soothed until she was given a white child's doll to play with. Several days later the Indian baby, still grasping her dolly, was sent back to act as peacemaker. Her mother would not let her keep the, huted white child's toy, but took her and it back to the post to return the doll. Then the mother In turn was received hospitably, and thus peace was made. All through a doll! And probably a rag doll nt that, since French dolls were scarce In Arlzonu years ago. Under the Indian's red kin beats the same kind of heart as that which pulsates In the white man's breast Get under the skin and you get to the real man. The Apache was grate ful for the kindness shown to his baby and his baby's mother. Some of the old Indian fighters, who remember the days of Geronlmo and bis bloodthirsty, cruel, treacherous braves, may scoff at the story. But It hnppenetl just so. Can't yon see the poor little lost red skin eying the palefaces suspiciously with her big black eyes, but holding on for grim Heath to the pretty dolly? Can't yon hear the wall she set up when her mother told her sternly she must give up her "baby" that white folks' dolls and white folks' ways were not for her? It makes one's heart feel for the poor little Indian kid. Happily for us and for the Indians better days have come along wlmt used to he the frontier. There Is no more frontier, and there is no more Indian fighting. Please God, there never will be any more! You who have babies need not be told, 1 think, that they are alike the world over In their love of dollies. Visit any of tho big ethnological col lections, the National museum in Wash ington, the American Museum of Nat ural History in New York, the Field museum In Chicago, and you will find there dollies of every nation. The Indian papoose found the white baby's doll Just to her liking. She shared with her white sister In the mother Instinct that Is ono of the world's most beautiful things. Off Dayt ths Beit. "An actor always acts his best when he Is feeling his worst" The speaker, an actor-manager, re garded himself tenderly and compla ceutly In a mirror, aud then, giving a twirl to his mustache, he went on: "You see, when an actor Is feeling fine he walks through his part Just as usual painstakingly, conscientiously and all that, but, on the whole, Just as usual. 'But when he feels bad, when he's got a bad headache or a lax liver, then ho Is afraid he won't do himself Jus tice, and so keys up with a plut of strong coffee, a quart of rank tea or something of that sort, nnd ho goes on all n-quivtT with the fear of fail ure, and the tvstilt Is a performance unusually subtle and strong. "Yes, I do my best when I'm at my worst, and this Is the case with other actors It's the case with lots of writ ers too. They write best ou their off days 'In short, my advice -to nil artists is this: Work when you feel bad. Never take an off day off."-New York Trib une. Severs Rebuke. Constable, the famous painter, once gave a reuiiirknbio instance or The sweetness of his temper, which scarce ly anything could rullle. The story was told by Julian Charles Young, whose uncle had witnessed the Incident. Ho called on Constable one day and was received by him lu his front room. After half an hour's chat the arUst proposed to repair to the back room to show him a large picture on which he was engaged. On walking up to his easel he found that one of his little boys in his absence had dashed the handle of the hearth broom through the canvas and made so large a rent lu It as to render Its restoration Impossi ble. He called the child up to him and asked him gently If he had done It When the boy admitted his act Cowta ble took hi in on his knee and rebuked him In these' utimensured terms: "Oh, my dear pet! Sco what we have done! Dour, dear! What shall we do to mend It? I can't think. Can you?" Dr. L. G. ICE DENTIST Beaver Building ( Oregon Cit Phonos Paolflo, 1221. Horn A 19 GOD'S TEN COMMANDS. Exodui 20:1-11 Sept. 7. "Thou thalt love the Lord thy Ood Kith all thi heart, and Kith all thy soul, and with all thy eixength, and with all thy mini." Luke torn. GOD'S Covenant with Israel at Mt. Sinai was that If they should keep the Decalogue the Ten Commandments they would thereby demonstrate that they were perfect men, worthy of ever lasting life. Then It would be possible for them to obtain the chief blessing under the Abrahamlc Covenant to be come the. Spiritual Seed of Abraham, through whom God promised to bless the world. Bible students look in amazement at the simplicity of the Decalogue, and at first wonder which of its features the Jews and oth ers were unable to perform satisfac torily. The mat- ;R ter seems very ( simple, Just as It did to the Jews, until we perceive that God's Law, represented In tho Ten Command ments, has a depth of meaning that cannot be seen on the surface. Hatred it incipient murder. Apparently the full meaning of this Law was seen by none until Jesus "magnified tho Law and made It hon orable." ' He says that hatred toward a brother is incipient murder, and that adulterous desire In the heart is a vio lation of the Seventh Commandment. This throws a light on the whole mat ter, and explains why no one has been able to keep this Law, except Jesus, since Adam's fall. The great Teacher also explains that the first table of the Law. appertaining to man's duties toward his Creator, means much more than merely to avoid linage worship and profanity. It means that the true God shall have the first place in the human heart. Any division of heart, strength, mind or. soul violates this commandment. God's Original Law .to Man, God's Low to man was not original ly given at Mt. Sinai, Indeed, the Mt." Slnal statement of the Law was given to the Jewish nation alone as the terms upon which they might be come God's Royal Priesthood for the blessing of all nations. God's original Law to man was given In Eden, written upon Adam's heart, in that ho was created in the Divine im agewith attributes of mind and heart fully in accord with his Creator. He loved righteousness, and would have hated sin, had there been any to hate. But up to that time there was none. After Adam's fall, the work of de generacy progressed so rapidly that Adam's first born son became a mur derer. Doubtless the chagrin of Moth er Eve lu the loss of Eden and in bat tling with the thorns and the thistles of the earth under the curse embitter ed her mind, arousing anger and re sentment, which marked her child From then till now the course has been generally downward, with occasionally a well-born child less seriously marked by sin less depraved. Still the Scrip tures Inform us that "Thero is none righteous, no, not one." " Hope For the Future. Mankind's experience for six thou sand years forbid us to expect that any could commend himself to God upon the terms of human perfection, ability and willingness to keep the Di vine Law. Jesus alone has kept that Law, and Ho because begotten miracu lously, lie was "holy, harmless, un dented, separate from Bluners." God refuses to grant everlasting life to any except the perfect who will keep Ills Law willingly n"d gladly. Wlmt hope then Is there foi our race? There Is one hope for the world, and Rtill another for the Church, instituted nt Pentecost. The world's hope is in the Messianic Kingdom of WOO years, whose rulers and judges will be God's Royal Priesthood the glorified Church, Head and Body. Cod's Messianic Kingdom will de pose Satan, binding him for a thousand years. Speedily. I the Iniquities of I earth will be set aside, nnd the rule of the "rod of iron" will bo gin. Everything onnosod to rlght- ihrtirrrli? eousuess will be TAVS dashed to pieces. SJcEr Everything sinful fef Vr$y will be dlscour " aged by cbasten lugs, and every "Thou ehalt have no tuing righteous oilier pod." ... ? will be encour aged by blessings. Under that administration, the world will agnlu reach the condition of per fection from which Adam fell. All wilfully rebellious, all lovers of sin, will have been cut off in the Second Dea til "everlastl ng destruction." The Church and the Law, Tho Church of Christ is selected from amongst mankind, who were born lu sin. The members are not un der the Law of Sinai in the sense of being required to keep it perfectly In order to get eternal life. (Romans 0:14.) Nevertheless, the Law Is very precious to the Church: for its spirit reveals to her how far short of perfec tion she Is lu the flesh, and to what extent the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ covers her fleshly Imperfections. Thus, the Apostle declares, "the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled In us, who walk not after the flesh, but offer the Spirit" NURSING MOTHERS digested nourishment in SCOTT'S EMULSION.
