OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAV, DEC. 25, 1913
THE GAME AT THE CAPITAL
Some of the Side Plays that Common
Folks Don't See
When ye hear or wars and rumor
of wars let not your souls be troubled
but keep an eye on the doings at the
National capital, and perhaps you
may be able to see one of the worst
steals in the history of the country
being put over on us. Behind the cur
tain of the war cloud and the rum
bling noise on the newspaper stage it
is quite likely that a neat Job will
be finished by the smooth mechanics,
who build fortunes out of the sweat
and ignorance of the toilers of the
land.
Perhaps you have forgotten, or if
young, never heard of the "Credit Mo
bilier," scandal, which was put thru
congress by the windy patriots, who
hired substitutes while they marched
down the halls of Congress like plum
ed knights and made a charge upon
the public treasury and the natural
resources of the country at the same
time.
While our citizen soldiers were fac
ing the leaden hail of the south and
stopping rebel bayonets with bare
breasts the congress, composed prin
cipally of the Grand Old Party mem
bers, put the union and Southern Pac
ific steal thru, and some of the most
renowned men, 'among them being
Blaine and the lamented Garfield,
were reported found with some of the
swag. Of course these men claimed
innocence and possibly a live chicken
flew into their pockets. That, how
ever, is a matter of by-gone days.
Make no mistake. There are busy
people in Washington these days who
are trying hard to solve the vexing
problem how to obtain the cost to
high living.
For many years, especially under
the dominance of the peerless person
from The Platte, it was the great cry
against the money power. The crown
of thorns and cross of gold geek pro
claimed it as a cardinal principle that
we must crush the money power first
then all other things would be added
unto us. Of course some of us in the
trenches suppose "us" meant "we
'uns." Perhaps it was only meant for
the gang. I
I have before me Congressional
Record for Nov. 29. Mr. Shofroth has
" the floor. Be it not forgotten by you
who do not keep close watch, that Mr.
Shofroth is a majority member, and
while he hails from a "silver state,"
we hear nothing about 16 to 1 or bi
metalism, but we do hear sufficient
about gold being the only money base.
Nor do we hear of the champion
breaking down the big doors coming
in, to shout his battle cry of money
freedom.
On page 6824 this senator says
"Many of the bankers who appeared
before the senate committee on bank
ing and currency felt that the bill
was not sufficiently favorable to the
national banks to justify their going
into the system. An. examination of
the provisions of the bill will dispel
any such contention to the mind of
any disinterested person. It is dis
tinctly to the advantage of every
national bank to go into the system."
Then he proceeds to go into illus
trations and figures to prove the cor
rectness of the view. There you have
it, words out of their own mouths by
which we must judge them. No one
can serve the banks to more coin and
at the same time look out for the in
terest of the "dear peepul." Take it
or leave it, our friends the financiers,
will be looked after. N,o doubt you are
among that group, for sugar is go
ing on the free list In about one
thousand days from now and then you
will get your wad.
In all that sea of words there was
not one life buoy for the sons of toil
visible just looking out for the wel
fare of banks. Just how much it will
take to jar the moss off the backs of
the workers remains to be seen.
In the same issue of the Record I
find this. "My Dear Mr. Speaker, may
I not express to you very warmly my
deep feelings of the honor the mem
bers of the House have paid me in
presenting me with the beautiful
diamond necklace, which was brought
me yesterday in a setting worthy of
its beauty"
Needless to say it was the daugh
ter of an alleged Democrat whose
communication is printed in - the
House proceedings over her signa
ture. .There are numerous people in this
land of alleged democracy who imag
ine that our public servants are grow
ing poor on the meagre wages which
attaches to their jobs, but I'll bet a
plugged dime that none of these
Jaspers will send their daughters to
Europe with a necklace costing a
couple of thousand. It is of no inter
est to me personally as to which dog
in the kennel gets the new collar, but
when the reports come from all cor
ners of this country of thehordes of
men in enforced idleness, when even
the spectacular executive of this state
sends out press appeals to find jobs
for the jobless, you see hard times do
not reach the loafing class. It will no
doubt be argued that she is entitled
to all these luxuries- because of keen
foresight and close attention to busi
ness, as some of my neighbors would
say, she kept her eyes open and look
ed ahead and knew how to manage,
consequently she gets along so well.
It surely does seem to such a rube
even as I that picking out such a
daddy was good management The
question still remains unanswered,
what did she do to earn it?
On the same page of this precious
public document I find reprinted an
editorial of the Washington Star dat
ed Nov., 16, which in part reads:
"In one hotel boys and girls got
drunk to celebrate a football victory.
The riot started early in the even
ing. The drinking rooms were crowd
ed by 8 o'clock and mobs fought for
possession of the tables. Police inter
fered now and then when things got
too hot for the hard-working waiters
to handle, and the ejection of s drunk
was a monumental affair as two po
licemen had to battle with upward of
20 alleged collegiates before they
could haul the protesting person to
the box. No one seemed to care for
the excise law 'in that particular
place. v
"Occassional the smash of bottles
and glasses and the bang of a tray
upon a marble floor was evidence that
some poor waiter had run afoul of
a bevy of yelping youths "with a bun
dle of beer aboard. A waiter who dar
ed protest ran great danger of his
personal safety. Altogether this par
ticular hostelry turned into a four
hour rough house, as they say in Tex
as. And yet the boys and girls who
stayed seemed to like it" '
Farther on the item says: "And
. young girls, some of them surely not
over 18, were in the crowd of fight
ers, adding their soprano laughter to
the vile curses of the men."
Now what do you think of that
coming from our National ' Capital
where the laws of the country are
made? Bear in mind this if taken
from a government print and not
from some dodgasted anarchist soC'
ialist that doesn't know anything..
How do you like it 7
In my little uneventful career I
have been in several of the biggest
mining camps in the mountains, pass
d thru railroad camps and frontier
towns afoot and have mingled most of
my life with ' people classed as those
of the lower classes and the rough el
ement. In the dance halls of Leadville,
Aspen and other smaller camps in the
early days the female occupants of
which were ' professedly of the red
light variety, I never saw the dupli
cate here described among "our best
people." Tho at times some of them
got pretty drunk their associates us
ually took care of them. Perhaps some
of the cow camps, Medicine Lodge for
instance, could play for second.
Let no one here, who does not per
sonally know me, think I am posing
as a blue-ribboner. I have no patience
with any form of sumptuary laws, all
repressive legislation seems to me of
no real good as is illustrated by this
illuminating report from Washington.
Not many years ago a Congress
man from the south described the
closing seances were portrayed in the
committee rooms, so perhaps these
young people were worthy sons of
grand and noble sires.
Possibly the squaw with the "skat
es on" so graphically described by M.
J. Brown, instead of having the Car
lisle finish had in fact the Capital
City polish, but he, not being used to
the antics of our best people, failed
to lecognize the real article.

MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER
EST To Taxpayers, Health Hunters and
Voters of the County
Conducted by W. A. Turner, Naturo
path (I will answer any questions on
health matters if sent to me, care of
Hotel Edwards, Portland.)
Commission Form of Government
k The reformers climbed into the
saddle in Portland and elected to do
away with the old and tried form
of city government and try commis
sion form, which is only an experi
ment at best. Never, in the history
of Portland, has such a gang govern
ed the city. The mayor and four com
missioners have run things in such a
high handed and outrageous manner
that they have aroused the ire and
enmity of all classes of people. Fat
offices have been - created, salaries
raised and taxes increased in spite of
pre-election promises of economy and
the people are so thoroughly enraged
that the whole bunch will probably be
recalled. You people of Oregon City
stick to your present form of government-
as Pendleton did and don't be
fooled by this commission "bunk."
There is nothing to it.
i The Oregon Equity
My friend Meredith is handing the
farmers some good dope in his Equity
news articles, among them I notice
he calls attention to the vast amount
of money the farmers, as tax payers,
are pouring into the state university
and points out how little they get in
return. I will add a little news for
their information.
This year, 1913, the tax payers in
vested $22,500 in the medical depart
ment of the state university. It grad
uated nineteen allopathic doctors and
it took sixty allopathic doctors to do
the job. These students paid $600 each
tuition for four years apiece, and this
.to exploit only the old worn-out allo
pathic methods of drugs, serums and
operations.
I think the farmers will enjoy this
great pleasure saddled on them by
the medical trust and they should dig
down and "dig up" with a smile. Send
men to the next legislature with or
ders to bust this infamous trust and
kick this medical octopus into oblivion
where it belongs.
Do "Scares" Pay?
I should say they do. Our medical
friends pulled off a smallpox scare in
The Dalles a few days ago and be
fore the Health Defense League could
warn the people one M. D. had vac-
lnated 460 persons in two or three
days at $1.50 per. or about $700 cash.
Who says "scares" dont pay 7 Just
so long as the dear people , are such
blind suckers to fall for this old bun
co game, just so long these medical
frauds will bleed them. Look out!
your turn may come any day, so get
wise and be prepared for them. The
above was the work of only one doc
tor. Think of the harvest of tubercu
losis, cancer and diptheria later on.
Don't be foolish when your turn com
es.
The American Medical Association
The gang of political medical high
binders headed by Doc. Simmons, who
for fifteen years have run the A. M.
A. with a high hand and saddled their
monstrous and illegal medical laws on
the various states through their
tools in legislatures and city councils
and puppet state boards of health,
has been dealt a knock out blow by
the appellate court of Illinois, which
practically declared it an illegal body.
This infamous trust has tried for
years to put all other classes of doc
tors out of business by drastic laws
put through by puppet legislatures.
une oi meir vouis in congress, mr.
Reilly, of Connecticut, recently intro
duced a bill in the house to establish
a medical license and examining
board, to consist of two army sur
geons, two navy surgeons and two
public health surgeons all allopaths.
The requirements are to be prescribed
by the A. M. A. and the bill, if pass
ed, will give them absolute control of
medical licenses in the United btates
and take it out of the hands of State
authorities.
- The bill, as submitted, gives the
A. M. A. an absolute cinch on the
practice of medicine. I feel sorry for
you if it passes, write to -your sen
ators and members of congress and
demand that they vote against it. Of
course you can do nothing with Sen
ator Harry Lane, for he is an alio
pathic doctor and is an example of
what the A. M. A. is doing all the
time by boosting medical doctors for
political officers. But write to him any
way.,.
Unmuzzle the Does
How would you like to go about
muzzled? Then imagine the feelings
of the dog. The city council in Port
land yesterday repealed the ordinance
muzzling dogs and it pleased every
body except Dr. Calvin S. White, our
15.000 a year board of health beauty.
He has two patients taking the
rasteur rake treatment for "ra
bies," -a disease that never existed.
But these serums must be sold so
cases of rabies must be produced.
A Philadelphian dog catcher re
cently testified that he had been a
dog catcher fifteen years and also
raised dogs for sale; that he had been
bitten 125 times by all kinds of dogs
and has never suffered the slightest
inconvenience from . "rabies" or any
other alleged dog disease. He also
said that he had handled thousands of
dogs and had never seen a case of
"rabies," but had seen dogs suffer
ing from "distemper," the result of
poor food and the lack of good drink
ing water. This is in line with my
previous statements in these columns.
"Rabies" is a disease that does not
exist only in the fertile imaginations
of political medical incompetents, al
ias "health otticers. lhe A. m. a.
has it on the list of "scares" and the
people must expect it once or twice
a year in order to stimulate the "Pas
teur" serum treatment, which fre
quently kills in short order.
If a dog bites you don't be humbug
ged by this fake treatment, but let
the bite bleed and keep it open, then
poultice with some simple poultice.
Don't cauterize the wound.
Smallpox and diptheria "scares"
are now due and later on measles and
scarlet fever, infantile paralysis and
bubonic plague.
The city health officer of Seattle
has outdone himself for the past two
or three months trying to work up
a bubonic plague scare and "while he
has accomplished some good in rid
ding the city of thousands of rats,
the "scare" has fizzled out. He can't
make it go.
Unmuzzle your dogs and let them
run and with proper food and water
they can harm no one.
Some Eating Hints
i People who have stomach and
bowel troubles should be careful of
their diet. Of course they can hardly
be blamed for not knowing what is
good for them, for when they con
sult the family doctor, if he is an al
lopath, he will look wise and tell
them to eat ' anything that agrees
with them. This advice is the climax
of medical ignorance. '
First, feed all your cereals, break
fast foods, rolled oats and mushes
to the cows. Thoy are not fit to eat,

For breakfast try some toast of
whole wheat, graham or Roman meal,
buttered and with a poached or soft-
boiled egg and some warm cooked
fruit, either green or dried. Eat the
meal dry. Neither coffee tea nor milk.
Drink plenty of cool water with fruit
juice added, between meals.
For a noon meal a salad of celery,
chopped cabbage, onions and canned
tomatoes is good in winter. With this
take a baked potato and one other
vegetable and cottage cheese. Eat no
pastry nor sweets and drink neither
tea, coffee nor milk.
For the evening meal the same sal
ad with olive oil and lemon juice, two
vegetables and mutton, beef or game,
with raw or cooked fruits, no tea,
coffee or milk. No pastry or sweets
and no alcoholic drinks. Potatoes,
peas,, beans, lentels and rice are all
starchy foods and should be eaten
sparingly and then only-with salads
and green leaf vegetables and fruits.
