THE MOTHER RESPONSIBLE
A Little Story with a Big Moral that
Mothers Should Heed
Editor Courier:
Again I beg a little space in your
paper. I read a letter written by a
young girl, to the president of the
Christian Endeavor Societies, just be
fore she committed suicide. It was
so very sad and made me feel as tho
I would like to warn all young girls
of the danger rocks and billows that
may come in their pathways.
The girl had become a happy
Christian. She went to a social dance
in a church parlor .(Who originated
such dances? In the name of Chris
tianity, me-thinks the devil did.)
That was where she took her first
downward step. A young man invited
her out to have a walk, a few -kisses
and flattery was indulged in by him.
So they met again and again, and
then a scandal. Her mother never
had told her of danger of going out
with men.
She was turned down and out and
had all the blame and burden
bear, while the rascal was out in high
society hunting for another victim.
Mothers, tell your girls and warn
them against those sliek-tongued de
ceivers.
The girl committed suicide that
night. She wrote the letter and the
letter was sent to him.
I read another article in the review
of a great man. He said that he had
traveled all over the world and that
nowhere in the world did the men
pay as much respect to the women
and pay homage to them, as did the
men in the United States. But their
respect is fast disappearing at the
present time on account of the way
women dress. If women want respect
they should dress to meet respect.
Now good women, let us call
halt and see where we are going to,
Why can't we get up some decent
fashions of our own and let the Par
isian harlots' fashions alone?
Mrs. J. L. Mumpower..

Editor Courier:
I am certainly glad to hear from
Mr. G. Price. Did you ever stop to
think how many of the famous sing
ers would have become what they
are if it had not been for the United
States? Don't you know that the mu
sician, just as well as anybody, loves
his home and his people: and he
would not like to work and perform
in the United States if he could do
just as well in his native land; Who

Oaks Purk band of Portland, Oreiron
during 1902, and today lives at 308 ',4
Morrison Street, Portland, out of em

istocrats of Europe know very little
about music, Pel, could easi v have
satisfied them with any kind of trash,
out it won t work here.
If you want to hear some rotten
singing, wait till some Italian Opera
Company comes to Portland and you
will surely get it. If you want to
know how many American musicians
are successful in Europe, read the
Musical Courier or some other equal
ly good publication.
I just heard last week of the great
success of Spalding, the great Amer
ican violinist, has made in Europe
lately. Wo have lots more like him.
America is about through with its
rag-time period, but it is just com
mencing in Europe For the last ten
years American composers have rap
idly gono ahead of the Europeans.
Dollar Princess, Merry Widow, Count
of Luxembourg, Chocolate Soldier,
Madamo Sherry, and lots of other
European trash are only of secondary
importance on the American stage,
while they are still dominant in Eu
rope. Metropolitan stock is getting
more and inoro to become American
and often performances are given
with American singers only. Ger

Belter Roads
We till want better roads. One trip
to town will convince us of that, but
do we want bonds? Well, that de
pends upon where the good roads arc
to be built. If they are to be built be
tween our farms and towns, to which
we must go, they will be all right
and we will vote for them. If the
money is to be used to build the Pa
cific Highway, every farmer is
against the bonds, with the exception
of those living along said Highway.
What we want is good roads to
town.
Let tho automobile men and those
people living along said highway
route, build that if they want to,
but do not allow them to compel us
to pay for it.
Now I would suggest to the coun
ty court, that if they desire tho
bonding bill to pass they should tell
us where they will put tho roads. If
they do not the bonds will be voted
down, for the suspicion is abroad that
those men that make so much noise
about the Pacific Highway, will con
trol the money once the bonds are
voted.

THE CURRENCY HUMBUG
Government Should Issue Money Di
rect to the People for Services
Rendered
"Congress shall have power to coin
money and regulate the value there
of." With this quotation from the
Federal Constitution, Article 1, Sec.
8 as a central idea, Charles A. Lind
bergh, congressman representing the
sixth Minnesota district, writes one
of the most interesting topics of the
times, under the title of Banking and
Currency, and the Money Trust. The
book carries a copy-right of last
year and is printed by National Cap
ital Press of Washington D. C. It
contains over 300 pages.of plain talk
on the subject covered by the title.
Mr. Lindbergh was the author of
the money trust investigation in
Congress, which held our attention
for a time and then allowed to die off,
at which time, Congress, having es
tablished a "reputation," proceeded to
put thru the present "gum-elastic"
currency scheme. The object of Mr.
Lindbergh was to arouse public in
terest in the money question so that
the plain people might be on their
guard against having injurious leg
islation foisted upon them. The re
sult was that people trusted more
to Congress, believing that, having
undertaken the investigation, Con
gress would would proceed to safe
guard the interest of us who must
toil for our daily bread.
It is not my intention to give a
review of the book, for it must be
read to be comprehended, but I will
give you a few quotations. Here is
one
"To the Joker: Here I hold a gold
coin. What a false illusion thou art
to human mind! How cruelly thou
deceivest thy possessor, those who
covet thee! Thou buyest for me by
thy betrayal of mankind. Thou didst
tax my energy to gain thee, and thy
discount has lost to me and my fel-
lowmen the greatest blessings of a
continent, as well as the principal
products of our toil. Few indeed are
they who know and understand thy
seductive power. We shall expose
thy falseness so that our children
shall not be deceived by thee."
The author, however, deals very
little in rhetoric but goes straight
into the problem in a business-like
way, showing how banks are started
and some having begun by men with
out money, which, is of course con
trary to the popular idea on the sub
ject.
lie tells the cause of panics and
how they may be avoided by having
a sound financial system and defines
"honest" money. He does not de
nounce the banker as a "bad man."
On page 34 he says that "Bankers
are well-informed and enterprising
business men, are generally good
citizens, who take great interest in
the welfare of communities in which
they live. They are our acquaintanc
es the same kind of people we are."
lie speaks of many bankers, es
pecially in rural communities, . who
have written to him endorsing his
course in Congress. He gives bank
statistics showing that it costs more
for tho public to have the banks at
tend to the banking business than it
costs to maintain the Federal gov
ernment. He explains how the money
is drawn to the large money centers
which by right should stay in the
home bank locality. Upon the money
thus drawn the great speculative en
terprises are financed and people
must pay dividends on the monev
they deposit in their home banks. I

it is ol the Aldrich vreeland issue
act.
This act was so much condemned
by Democrats. Now these same Dem
ocrats extend the operation of this
act one year and the new law, so far
as my understanding goes, is very
similar and calls for gold redemption
by the government. Bear in mind
that the Democrats were sunnnseil

In his speech upon final passage
of the Glass Owens bill, Dec 2 he
said (Congressional Record, Page
1467) "Senators and Representatives
know that the American people hate
to be hum-bugged. That may be in
ferred because they take infinite
pains to conceal the fact that Con
gress is the greatest of humbugs.
We hear about Wall Street fleecing
the lambs, but that is not a 'patch
in' in comparison with what the Sen
ators and Representatives humbug
the voters. We expect Wall Street to
cheat. Wall Streeters have not taken
an oath to serve the people, but Sen
ators and Representatives have. Wall
Streeters could not cheat us if Sen
ators and Representatives did not
make a humbug of Congress."
He showed that there was no doubt
that there were many opposed to the
bill, but were bound by caucus rule
and stood pat. He classes himself as
an Independent' Republican, but in
his acts seem to be Independent Lind
bergh. His book, which sells for 50
cents paper cover, is the most able
exponent of the money question of
the present time that has come to my
notice.
I predict that there will be some
fine scalp hunting in the sixth Min
nesota district this fall.
This latest financial conspiracy is
doomed to failure is admitted by the
fathers of the bill in the. loud man
ner they boast of, providing against
failure. Who would think of providing
against failure were the whole money
scheme handled by your Uncle Sam

The government has to pay the

This could have been remedied years

It is true that we had a railroad com

draws a good salary. We know the
salary part isn t neglected.
We believe the government should
own and operate the railroads. They
have paid by land grants, and should
pay the actual cost of their lines, and
operate thcrn at cost for the benefit
of the whole" people. If this was done
it would cost less than half of what
it does now. Strikes would be a thing

THE WHY OF IT
J. W. Thomas Answers the Curious
Questions of Silas Wright
Editor Courier:
In last week's issue of the Cour
ier we notice Mr. Wright's varied
questions, to which we offer the fol
lowing answers:
1 The cause for more white hors
es than white colts, may be found in
the process of nature, allowing for
the annual shedding and the elimi
nation of the pigments for the dark
hair; thus the older the colt gets the
whiter and whiter he grows, into the
white horse.
2 "The horse eats grass back
ward" in order to get the full use of
the upper front incisor teeth in the
act of shearing off the grass, and
the "cow eats forward to bring in
action her lower front incisor teeth
to shear off the grass held by her
rough tongue against her upper
toothless anterior jaw.
3 The "twist of the hop and bean
vine" is set and started by a plan de
vised away back in the little germ of
the hop and bean seed; and when
proper moisture and light smiles on
the hop and bean lying in their
earthly beds, their stalks and roots
start forth in the direction mapped
out for their growth and development
and thus we have Nature's variety in
plants and vines in many curves and
"twists."

Efforts and Results
A. Wihtol.
Most anywhere we go in the Unit
ed States we cannot help noticing
the tremendous number of musical
students who come more or less to a
failure of their study. Considering
the loss of time, energy and money,
we have a right to question why?
Are our people lacking talent, ambi
tion, or are our teachers incapable?
To either of the three questions,
there can be found some affirmative
ground. Many of our students lack
ambition. A vast number of teachers
are shamefully incapable, besides
an entire multitude of students have
practically no gift for music, but
with these three very familiar answers-,
we find that the question of
failure is not yet resolved. If we re
fer tf authorities, then the fourth
and the most important reason for
the fruitless results is blamed to an
entirely too early drill of children for
instrumental playing, while for exe
cution early studies are even bene
ficial for the imagination or the mu
sical thought, the monotonous exer
cises are often ruining. With all the
world's technic and lacking talent, we
might become "piano pounders,"
"cat-gut sawyers" or anything else,
but never true musicians. Parents
can often do more for the musical de
Velopement of their children by rais
ing them in a good musical atmo
sphere, such as good concerts, reci
tals, musical plays, etc., than with all
the crowded and forced exercises. It
is well to remember that the great
ast among musicians, Richard Wag
ner, also Berlioz, Bulow and Schubert
could hardly play anything. Beetho
ven also was a poor player and a
uprisingly big number of our great
musicians have begun their lives at
some other profession, such as law,
medicine, engineering, etc., until
they turned to become musicians. De
velop the desire and judgement of
your children first and then make
them work and practice.
