M. J. BROWN,
Dan Malarkey says he is not a can
didate for the United States senate
and will not be. Jonathan Bourne is
not quite so frank.
The express companies are squeal
ing. The parcel post is digging into
their dividends, but they have little
sympathy.
Onlv a few weeks ahead is the an.
nual citv election, and it is a matter
our voters should not let slip up on
them without some consideration.
Washington state does not have the
recall of judges, hence an unfit, Judge
Humphries, hangs onto his job and
breeds a little more contempt for
courts. The recent judicial acts of this
man have been that of a lunatic.
It is interesting to see the Roose
velt boys fall back into line, ineoaore
waited too long for a comeback. There
was a time when the American people
begged of him to once more be their
president, and he refused. And they
will never beg again.
The tariff bill has passed both
houses and been signed. It has taken
about six months to pass it, and its
successful passage is a splendid credit
to President Wilson. Now if it will
do half what is expected of it, Wilscn
will go up beside Lincoln in history.
"The Progressives are falling back
in line" is a familiar statement in the
newspapers these days. But into
WHAT line? The Republicans who
went out for Roosevelt will never go
back to the old Republican party.
They are falling into the Democratic
line, they will follow Wilson and Bry
an. Frances Haney, who jumped from
the Republican band wagon to ride
with Teddy has now climbed back
into the first rig and has rind enough
to ask the Republicans of California
to make him U. S. senator. I know
what Oregon would do to this side
stepper, and I can guess what Cal
ifornia will.
Secretary W. J. Bryan says the new
tariff will raise wages, cut the cost
of living and better the condition of
the poor by reducing prices of food
and clothing. Here is hoping Bryan
is in right, but a lot of us will still
register from Missouri. Naturally this
would be the result, but things don't
run naturally in this country. The
proposition this new tariff law will
determine is whether or not the trusts
are bigger than the government, and
for a time the Courier will give odds
on the trusts.
"There is no justice in law," says
Thomas A. Edison. "It has resolved
itself into technicalities and formulas.
A case will be thrown out of one court
and carried to another, it will be sent
back on writs and advanced on argu
ment and bandied back and forth
more for the exercise of legal practice
than for the attainment of justice.
Where an important case might be
settled in a short time by the use of
common sense, it is prolonged for
years through the technicality of jur
isprudence, the whole course of which
Commenting on the proposal to
cruise the timber of Marion county,
the Aurora Observer says:
The proposal to officially cruise
the timber of Marion county is
not popular with the county
court or the people. Judge Bushey
says: "It is not necessary to fol
low the lead of Judge Beatie of
Clackamas county." It is not su
prising that the Judge takes this
view of the matter, after the un
fortunate experience of the Clack
amas county judge. Cruising the
timber of that county cost that
' judge his office.
One after another the newspapers
are seeing the light and are realizing
that they can carry influence only as
they get close to the people. The Sa
lem Statesman last week came out
with this announcement:
The Statesman's columns are
open to all peoplo on all sides of
all questions, and always havo
been under the present manage
ment, and always will be. The
Statesman management regards
this newspaper as being in the
nature of a public utility in whose
columns a hearing may be had ,
by any one, great or small, rich
or poor, without money and with
out price.
And it is this kind of newspapers
that are going into almost every home
in the country.

It is doubtful if there is a citv in
the world that can point to municipal

Its splendid financial success is trood
tidings to mankind. It is a message of
hope to civilization. It is unanswer
able proof of the possibility of divorc
ing the distribution of water from the
extortionate graft so often imposed
upon it.
It is example of how. under ninnio.
ipal ownership through efficient pro
cesses, it is possible to give water
to consumers at a cost so low that it
is both a benison and boon.
In Corvalhs. the water system hna
been one factor in the remarkable
growth in population. Post office re
ceipts for the month of August were
28 per cent above the same month
last year. The increase for July was
23 per cent, and these increases have
been the rule in Corvallis almost con
stantly since the splendid system of
pure water from the mrfuntains was
installed.
Who will be the first in Oreeon Citv
to pay that income tax? Don't dodge
it. Just think of the social standing it
will give you.
STAND BY THIS LAW
This matter of a district attorney
for each county is one voters want to
consider pretty thoroughly between
now and November 4.
The last legislature passed the
law, it was needed legislation, and it
should never been held up.
It gives every county a district at
torney, to be elected by the people.
It abolishes the office of the present
district attorney, reduces salaries and
does away with the deputies.
Today a district attorney serves
three or more counties. That is he is
supposed to serve them, but outside
of the county he lives in, he is seldom
seen. The deputies, poorly paid, do
the work what they have to do.
Under the present arrangement we
see district attorneys and sheriffs
fighting each other, and prosecutions
Deing given the side track. We see
politics and pull get in where it
should not enter. We elect district
attorneys who we seldom see.
jiacn county should run its own
business and, elect its own attornev.
The expenses will be about the same
and the efficiency will be 50 per cent
greater.
Friends of the present office holding
district attorneys neld up tills law
through the referendum. It was too
big a snap to let go of without a
fight.
November 4, friends of good gov.
ernment want to set down on this
holdup and make the bill a law. And
they will.
BUNGLING
It seems as if the government a!
ways takes the longest way to eet to
a proposition that it cuts, tries and
bungles, where a business concern
would at once take the short cuts.
The parcels post is a fine reform,
but what a lot of inconsistencies it is
loaded down with.
For illustration a 20 pound bundle
can be sent anywhere within 150
miles for 24 cents; two miles far
ther 152 miles the same weight
would have to be divided into two
packages, and would cost $1.04 for
transportation. If the sender mailed
the 20 pound packages to a friend 150
miles away and that friend remailed
it to another person 150 miles farther
on, the total cost for the 300 miles
would be 48c, as against $1.04 for
thes ame distance for the same weight
with the necessity of two packages
under the weight limit instead of
one, if mailed direct. Two packages
would be more trouble to handle than
one; and certainly two mailings and
deliveries would be more work than
one. It would seem that the govern
ment is taking the longest and hardest
as well as the most expensive way
luuuu. in Ling jjurcui post pusiness.
THE MARRIAGE OF THE OCEANS
A few days ago a'n editorial writer
on one of the big city dailies inform
ed his readers that "soon the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific will mingle
at the Panama Canal." Such is the
misinformation given by a writer who
must be densely ignorant.
The "marriage of the oceans" will
never be consumated at Panama, nor
win tney ever come within thirty
miles of meeting. That's onlv noetic
license. Between the locks the water
is fresh and supplied by the Chagres
river and the channel for that distance
is 85 feet above the oceans.
The Panama Canal is really a "fresh
water bridge" across the backbone of
the isthmus made possible bv won,

A COUNTY LIBRARY
ONE OF THE GREATEST BENE
FITS TO THE COUNTY
Some of the Voters of the County Who
are Working for It
To the Voters of Clackamas County:
The purpose of this letter is to offer
to the voters of Clackamas County
some reasons to justify voting for a
county Public Library.
By tne county library plan every
country school district can have its
delivery station to receive books and
magazines from the main library for
cirmil:ition in the district. Some re
sponsible person would be appointed
to circulate and care for the books
and magazines. By this plan the
people in the country can have as
irood public library service as those
who live in the towns-Aney can enner
send to the library for what they
want, or go and make their own se
lection.
Everv town can have a branch
public library, including some of the
best encyclopedias, standard works
and children's books. These would be
properly catalogued and classified.
New books, fiction, and specially or
dered volumes would be supplied from
the main library and often changed.
The only local expense would be for
the necessary room, heat, light and
care.
1 Every branch library in the county
could begin with at least 500 volumes
and new books would be continually
added. Current magazines and period
icals satisfactory to the people of
the town would be supplied to every
local branch.
By this plan every man, woman and
child in the county can have the ad
vantages of a good public library. Fif
teen hundred dollars is more than the
average taxpayers' assessment and
tho county library levy would be only
45 cents on that much property.
In 1910 the people of Oregon City
voted for a library levy at the rate
of 50 cents on each thousand dollars
of assessment in the city. This is to
help maintain and extend the public
library. Last year the Library Asso
ciation obtained a Carnegie building
which cost $12,5000. This library is
now free to all the people of the
county.
A county library will of course be
subicct to the control of the County
Court, but the Carnegie building, the
librarian, and all the advantages ot
an established Library could be used

as a part of the county library plan.
Oregon City would need to continue
the city levy to care for her own local
part of the library work.
Multnomah, Hood River and Wasco
have county libraries and Klamath has
levied a county library tax. We re
spectfully suggest to you that a coun
ty library is a good business proposi
tion for Clackamas County. The Coun
ty Court will put the question on the
ballot at the special election in No
vember. The undersigned hope it will receive
your careful attention and favorable
vote at the polls. .

his left arm and shoulder filled with
bird shot while hunting Sunday. Two
of them were hunting pheasants,
when several birds got up. Through
the brush and fog Critser could not
be seen by his partner who was close
by, and the gun load struck him in
the arm and shoulder. He was hurried
to the hospital here, and Dr.Meis-
sner says the wound is not serious.
