M. J BR.OWN,
Wonder how Judge Galloway of
Salem feels?
"What is U'Ren going to do?". is
an often asked question just now.
Mr. Bourne is hesitating and fig
uring, but if he does decide to come
in, here's betting he will "swing
around the circle" a few this year.
His absent treatment didn't work.
Henry W. Koehler, of Oswego,
Clackamas county, is a Democratic
candidate for sheriff. The photograph
of Mr. Koehler looks so much like
Sheriff Til Taylor of Umatilla coun
ty, that he ought to be elected on geiv
eral principles. Salem Messenger.
Two road districts, both equal as
to typography, one spends $18,000 on
roads, the other $33,000 and the one
expending the smallest amount has
the best roads. And yet some" defend
the supervisor system.
Even the supreme court of .our
land is subject to change or mind and
decisions. In 1895 an income tax law
was declared unconstitutional by that
body, but 29 years later today it
is the real constitutional legal reven
ue getter.
The Supreme court upheld Judga
Campbell's construction of the local
option election and the right of the
people to vote. And by the way, if
you ever gave the matter particular
attention, there have been very few
of Judge Campbell's decisions revers
ed by that body.
Tho Portland Journal wants to
know why Uie court of appeals is not
told that Max Cohen, the Portland at
torney, is an angel with wings and
has a halo. If tho court knows any
thing about Coehn it would not be
lieve any such tales. If Coehn had
wings he would have sold them, and
eaten his halo.
Dr. James Withyc'ombe of the ag
ricultural college, announces his can
didacy for governor, but says he will
place his campaign in the hands of
his friends. In 1912 a candidate for
U. S. senator tried the same scheme,
and no doubt he could give the Cor
vallis Doctor some very valuable
poinUrs on "How to be a Good Los
er." John Manning's "back to tho farm"
slogan listens good, but he doesn't
get way down to the bottom and
plainly state how the state is going
to get hold of the speculative tracts
and be able to sell them to the home
seeker, after getting it ready for the
plow, at a price the homoseeker can
meet. Can the state buy tho land any
cheaper than you and I? Would Mr?
Manning confiscate it, condemn it or
just pay the price the speculator ask
ed? And would he then bond the land
of the farmer who has cut out his
own farm to guarantee his specula
tion would make good ?
The Eugene Guard, in commenting
on the matter of the unemployed says
it is no new problem with which we
have to deal, but we are beginning to
regard it from a new point of view,
to see that it is not the man who asks
for work when there is no work, who
is to blame for his unhappy condition,
but that society, the community, the
state, the nation, is responsible for
conditions which entail suffering up
on its more unfortunate members.
Seeing this we must also perceive
that conditions must be changed, that
the man who must work in order to
live, lie provided with employment
at a living wage. A living' wage
means somewhat more than enough
to keep him and his family from star
vation. It must include a fair degree
of comfort, and above all, education.
The other day a work hunter went
up to Seventh street where tho sew
er work is being done and asked the
contractor for a job. There was
nothing doing as all the force the
job could stand was on. The man talk
ed with some of the workmen, stated
he had a wife and children at home
and food was exhausted. Then one of
tho men, a stranger to the work
hunter, climbed out of the ditch,
left his pick and said: "I have money
' enough to live on for a week anil
have no children. Take my place."
This was an act that will go' onto the
credit side of the ledger when divi
dends nrc declared. Tho follow who
gave his job to one who had children
to support may not have belonged to
a labor union, but he was a member
of the Brotherhood of Man.

SLOW DOWN
Almost everything in the way of
increased expense of living can be
passed along.
But taxation cannot.
The man who really pays it can't
pass it along. He's at the end of the
line.
Taxation has reached the burden
ing place in Oregon and not only in
Oregon.
State expenditures simply must be
curtailed. Needless employers must
be dropped from the payrolls and un
necessary offices, boards and com
missions must be abolished.
Oregon's expenses are too big for
its development. We have got to slow
down and let the state catch up.
The state alone is taking from
every taxpayer from twice to four
times what it did a lew years ago.
This is about true with the gov
ernment, the counties and the cities
the towns.
It is time to get down to brass
tacks, to self denial, to cutting all
increasing and unnecessary expendi
tures to the very bone.
There is a way to decrease ex
penses.
There is only one way.
It is to stop spending money.
SOFT
The primary elections are nearing
and our Massachusetts-boosting con
gressman is looking after his fences
Under the excuse of proposing a
homestead law in full justice to the
Oregon settler, Congressman Haw
ley is sending out a list of questions
to this class ot men. Ana here is the
first one he asks:
Can you clear twenty acres of
wild land in three years and
have it ready for the plow,
without hiring extra labor or
buying expensive machinery or
explosives, and if you cannot,
please state why?
The Courier editor will answer
these questions. Any kid can answer
them.
Sure you can clear 20 acres of
land in three years and have three
blades of grass growing where only
fir trees grew before.
It is a holiday cinch for a farmer.
Need any extra help? Should say
not.
Need any stump pullers or dyna
mite? Don't ask such foolish ques
tions. After the little detail of falling the
trees and getting off the logs all that
is needed is a few toothpicks to loos
en the stumps and a suction pump to
sweep them up in heaps. And the
farmers can borrow the matches to
set them on fire.
As to extra help let the women
pack the toothpicks.
If you cannot do thia "please state
why," pleads our made in (western)
Oregon congressman.
You CAN do it. It's a pipe.
Show me the farmer that can't
cut a 20 acre farm out of the wil
derness,, dig out the stumps, roots,
log it off, make it look like a nat
ional league base ball diamond, and
ready, for the plow in three years,
without extra help, necessary - ma
chinery or explosives.
Talk about cinches.
He can do it and have plenty of
timo to go fishing, come into town
nights to see the "movies" and ob
serve the eight hour law.
Mr. Ilawley must have lost track
of Oregon conditions when he propos
es such a snap to home wanters.
But eultin out the nonsence, if
Ilawley wants to do something for
the homesteaders why doesn't he get
in behind the Roruh bill and push it,
and not waste his splendid energies
asking fool questions?
The "dry" ordinance introduced in
the council last night, sure has
teeth. Hut when a city votes dry, let
it bo dry make it be dry.
Now I reckon thoso six Alaska
steamships will be good. Tried and
convicted for conspiracy they were
fined about $5,000 each. Isn't it aw
ful? Judge Diniiek is the first candidate
for governor to file at Salem. Print
ed after his name on the ballot will
be: "Republican principles, law en
forcement, road improvement, equi
table labor laws, strict economy."
Judge Calloway seems to have
overplayed his hand. Instead of get
ting a supreme court decision to stay
the power of tho people he got one
which says tho city council may de
clare a city dry at any time or the
people through the initiative may do
so.

GUGGENHEIMING
Are the people of the coast coun
try going to get cheap coal out ot
government control of Alaska, or is
the coal trust going to be given a pri
vate snap?
The Chamberlain bill provides for
a government railroad to the coal de
posits. The government owns the land and
the coal, and if the government
would dig it, bring it out and sell it,
the coast country would get what it
hopes for cheaper coal.
But now it appears that the gov
ernment proposes to build its expen
sive railroad to the coal fields and
then lease the mines to capitalists.
And what do you think of this?
Isn't it great?
The government would iuild the
costly railroad to its own great coal
fields, and then hand over the mines
and railroad to the coal barons to
operate.
Can you figure any cheap coal out
of this scheme ?
The government has reduced tar
iff duties and let in at a low duty
many articles of necessity, but the
people pay the same old price for
goods.
They do because the goods go in
to the hands of the combinations, and
they arbitrarily fix the price.
And this would be the consequence
of the leasing system of Alaska coal
mines:
The coal combinations would get
the coal and fix the price, and the
coast states would pay trust prices
for its own coal.
And the government would build a
road to help the Guggenheims skin
us of the coal that is ours.
Will someone explain why the gov
ernment doesn't run its own coal
business, so long as it owns the land,
the coal and the railroads?
Did you ever read .Rex Beach's
"The Spoilers?"
PRETTY ROTTEN
C. Si Jackson, editor of the Port
land Journal, is behind an initiative
bill to prohibit the purchase of prop
erty for' public use at more than
double the assessed value.
A step in the right dircetion, but
only a spp. .,,
A few weeks ago this paper ask
ed the Journal why this"bill only pro
vided protection for purchase of pub
lic property why it should not apply
to the private purchaser as well?
The Journal did not answer.
It will not answer this time.
Why the private purchaser should
not be given the same protection as
the public purchaser, this paper can
not see.
The same law applied generally
would make the property owner just
n little fearful of swearing 'off taxes
if he knew, he could only sell his
property at twice the value he is
paying taxes on.
But isn't it a pretty rotten situ
ation that makes necessary such a
law as the Journal proposes ?
Isn't it about time the legislature
or the people through the initative
reformed the present scandalous tax
ation system of Oregon's?
GO FURTHER
Last week's session of the Grange
at Yamhill denounced the present tax
law, demanded its repeal, and a com
mittee was appointed to draft an in
itiative law for the 1914 electior
"that could -be understood by the av
erage taxpayer."
Good for the Grange, and every
school district in the state shlfcild
have an organization to circulate pe
titions for- a new law that would
abolish the usuary provisions of the
present Bankers' Aid Society.
And in the same connection there
is just as much need, and perhaps
more, for a reform in the taxation
system of Oregon that same organ
ization should take hold of.
The present assessment system is
an unjust farce. There isn't an assess
or in Oregon who obeys the law. It
is a guesswork, hit and miss propo
sition, where tho man with the home
and the farmer with the land is hit,
and the others are missed.
Tho whole system is unjust and
dead wrong. Instance after instance
has been cited by Portland papers
where property sold has been paying
from one-fourth to one-tenth of taxes
on tho selling price.
The New Zealand system of mak
ing every owner his own assessor has
our present system beaten a hundred
years.
Taxation equally distributed in
Oregon would lessen the load, but the
present assessing system is a rotten
farce. 0
UP TO THE COURT
If Attorney Chris. Sehuobel's con
struction of the recent highway law
is correct (and he states he will de
fend it for the county free of charge)
I ho law will be only about what the
county court makes it.
Mr. Schuebel says it is absolutely
plain, and it was the intention of the
legislature, that where PERMA
NENT road construction to the am
ount of $1,000 or over in any district
is to bo made, that the work shall be
done under direction of the county
supervisor or road master, plans and
specifications be submitted, and the
work be let on contract to the lowest
bidder, and that this law does NOT
apply to repair work temporary work
etc., which is left to the county court
and the present system.
Under this construction it is pos
sible, pehaps probable, and- legal for
a district to expend $999 on new
roads, old roads, repairing roads, etc.,
and do the work without bids or con
tract, under the present system.
So, if there was a disposition to
evade the intent of the law, and con
tinue the present road building sys
tem, it would be easily possible to
have ALL the road work in the 59
districts done in job lots of less than
$1,000, and be outside the provisions
of the new law.
And if Mr. Schuebel is right, the
matter resolves itself largely back to
the county court. The court has the
authority over tho many districts.
The court can appoint a road engi
neer, lay out a definite road system
in the county and tell the road master
to go to it, or the court can handle
the matter in any oher way.

WANTED A GOVERNOR OF
- OREGON
Courier:
The people are at present consid
ering the qualifications of the var
ious candidates who are casting their
hats in the ring and wondering why
so many are manifesting so much de
sire to preside over the destinies of
the most progressive state in the Un
ion. It is generally understood by the
people throughout the state have a
very thorough knowledge of their
qualifications from a partison stand
point; their efficiency in keeping in
touch with the party spirit of their
time, and it must be admitted that
some of them at least are past mas
ters. .The only source of information
available to the electorate is the past
record of any and in fact all of these
aspiring candidates is their past rec
ords and the views they have held on
great public questions.
The time is past in Oregon when
a coterie of partisan bigots can meet
in convention and point with pride
to past party achievements, and he
who expects to be elected Governor
through the merits of the party label
will be sadly discomfited.
The next governor not only should
be heartily and wholly in sympathy
with all the progressive measures
which are now on the statute books,
but should have the courage to rec
ommend other measures which, com
ing up for consideration to the end
that Oregon should continue to be
the most progressive state in the
Union without waiting for other
states to catch up with the spirit of
the 20th cenury.
Progressive).
Proportional Representation
As noted in the Equity Depart
ment of the 22 inst. of this paper, a
talk was given before the state con
vention of that body, by the writer of
this department on the subject of
submitting a proportional representa
tion measure to the people at the
next general election. The favorable
endorsement by that body lends
staunch moral support to the meas
ure and it will be pressed to a finish.
Other organizations and leagues
are now considering the same prop
osition (to submit) and in due time
there will appear a measure fully
equipped for petition signatures.
Let it be understood that this mat
ter has been independently instituted
and that no political party, union or
league takes charge of its manage
ment. It is intended by this independent
initiation to relieve the proposition
from partisan prejudice it might
otherwise bear were it originated by
and managed by a political er other
organization. The chief manager and
the one who will file the measure, is
a young woman public school teach
er and law student of Portland
schools. Her name will appear and
she will take charge as soon as she
may be able to adjust some other
matters now pending in her affairs.
It is planner, through the inde
pendent action, to enlist each candi
date for primary nomination for gov
ernor, either for or against this
measure and bring its quarely be
fore the people in the primary cam
paign. There will be no dodging the issue
on the part of these nominees as
the matter will be put squarely up to
them for their action in the endorse
ment or rejection of the measure.
Speakers will go into the field with
petitions and bring out an active dis
cussion on the measure.
The primary nomination of the
gubernatorial candidates will be con
sidered by the electors on their atti
tude toward this measure.
THE LIGHT OF FAITH
(W. T. Milliken.)
Once upon a time there was a man
who v. as born blind. Many in this
condition regret their calamity. He
prided himself in it. Said he: "Those
men who boast that they have sen
sation of sight are but credulous
fools. I am a man, as they, and I
have never seen a rainbow, or watch
ed the changing tints of a summnr
cloud. There is no such thing as vis
ion." I know a man, pged and disap
pointed in life. Years ago he was
reared in a godly home in the Scot
tish faith. But he eime to the patt
ing of the ways, and turned aside in
to a by-path where Honor seemed to
beckon. "The roads are parallel,"
-aid he, "but this is the more pleas
ant one to tread. A little pleasure
and a little honor, and I'll cross over
to Faith's highway again.
The years rolled on. Love shed its
golden lustre across his life, and the
music of children's laughter filled his
house. Yet sometimes, when the
lights burned low as he sat in his
study, like a faint memory from his
irodly boyhood homo the voice of the
Spirit called. But he stifled it until
it was heard no more.
Last night this aged man awoke
from his dream. The torch of earthly
love has been extinguished forever
beneath the sods where daisies- grow.
The voices of childhood are silent
evermore. Long since the spark of
faith has flickered and gone out, and
the soul of the man is dead. Only the
haunting whispers of the past echo
through the empty halls of memory.
The tide of life has swept out into the
the deeps of faith, and has left him
stranded in the shoals of his own
blind doubt and self-delusion, for he
has forgotten God until God has for
saken him.
An ancient preacher once said:
"We preach Christ crucified, unto
Jews a stumbling block, and unto
Gentiles foolishness; but unto them
that are called, both Jews and Greeks

dom of God." The same man said
again: "The Natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God
for they are spiritually judged." This
explains why the aged agnostic sees
only in death the dissolution of the
dust. Poor blind fool! Thou hast
dwelt so long in the darkness that to
thee there is no light! Nevertheless
the sunlight laughs upon he hills;
and the rainbow, smiles from the face
of the storm; and the sunset 'glows
with crimson, and amethyst- and
gold; and our loving heavenly Father
floods our hearts with the gleams of
his love; and we know that all the
mysteries ot life and immortality are
ttue because we experience them.
And all the blindness of all the ages
cannot shake our faith, because we
know.
The man who knows nothing save
that which is physical and sensory is
out of touch with his times, for the
world of Science today is swinging
back towards faith. Ask the physical
scientist what his research reveals,
and he answers: "The alphabet of all
matter is the sixty odd elements of
which it is composed. But further an
alysis reveals that the elemental at
om can be subdivided into electrons,
and all the electrons of all the ele
ments are similar. Thus all nature is
spelled with an alphabet of one let
ter, the electron. The rugged hills,
the fertile valleys, the green forests,
the floating clouds, the. fragrant
flowers that blossom by the wayside,
the bodies of the sons of men, all
these are infinite variations of one
basic unit of all material nature, the
electron." But, we ask, what is an
electron? The scientist answers: "An
electron is an active point of radiant
energy. Modern physical science de
duces all matter, in its last analy
sis, to immaterial energy." Therefore,
like the blind mole, whose span of
life is spent in his dark tunnel be
yond the faintest gleam of sunlight,
the man who knows only the physi
cal sees but the world of change, and
decay, and unreality, and fails to
pierce to the everlasting verities that
lie beneath.
"But," objected an atheistic physi
cian to a tailor friend who had claim
ed to have eternal life, "I have cut
up hundreds of bodies and have never
found an immortal soul yet."
"No?" responded his friend. "I
have cut up hundreds of cast off
trousers, and have never found a man
in them yet. You are only carving at
the 'Earthly house of this tabernacle'
after the occupant has gone. What a
fool to think that a material scalpel
can reach he immaterial spirit!"
Turn now to the psychologist and
hear his answer. After spending over
600 pages in recording the results of
physical examination of the brain
from every conceivable angle, Prof.
Ladd sums up his conclusions as fol
lows: "The subject of all the states of
consciousness is a real unit-being
called mind, which is of nin-material
nature, and acts and develops accor
ding to laws of its own, but is spec
ially correlated with certain mater
ial molecules and masses forming the
substance of the brain."
Again:
"The assumption that the mind is
a real being which can be acted up
on by the brain, nd which can act
on the body through the brain, is
the only one compatible with all the
facts of experience."
Not only is mind (soul) separate
from brain, and in no sense a product
of brain, it is a -real being in itself.
"The developement of mind can
only be regarded as the progressive
manifestation in consciousness of the
life of a real being, which, although
taking its start and direction from
the action of the physical elements,
proceeds to unfold powers that are
sui generis, according to laws of its
own."
With Ladd agrees James, Bald
win, Munsterberg, and practically
everv great .name in thepsychologi
cal realm today. And even the writ
ers of psychological fiction have
learned the truth. In his "Sea Wolf"
lack London pictures the dying para
lytic as signalling back from the very
gates or death that he is still "All
here." In Dumas "Count of Monte
Cristo" the same phenomenon is not
ed.
I know a man who made his peace
with God when sight, hearing, taste
every sense except a slight sense of
touch was gone. Yet he clearly reas
oned his way to a surrender and
mide it. Psychology knows a living
soul which uses the telegraph station
of the senses to communicate with
other souls similarly isolated by
walls of mortal flesh. But no prison
bars can hold out God, hence the
soul can commune directly with him
The implication is that the earth
life is the chrysalis stage, and death
merely bursts the encircling shell
and sets the prisoner free.
From the realms of psychology
let us turn to that of Metaphysic
The task of the Metaphysician is to
find the eral. And where does he find
it? In the physical? Nay! Hegel
Hncls it in the infinite. And to him
the Finite is but part of the process
within the Infinite. Pure Being is
the one category of pure thought, but
this is found, not in the finite and
material, but in the infinite. Leibniz
sees in all physical phenomena mere
ly the maifestatio.ns of "monads," or
units of physical or spiritual force.
Schopenhauer says that the basis of
the natural world is will, whose striv
ing initiates motion, and matter.
Bowne sees back of the universe the
World-Ground, the only noumenal
reality, which is God. The phenom
enal realities are but maifestations
of his workings. The utter fallacy
of Christian Science metaphysic (let
me say by way of parenthesis) is in
the denial of reality to phenomena
when there is a phenomenal as well
as a noumenal reality. Back of the
real phenomena of God's workings
lies the basts of all reality, Ood him
self and eternal life.
Let us now ask, what does modern
biology say about life? The older
biologists were largely agnostic. This
was true of Huxley, Tyndall, Spencer,
Haeckel, Wallace and Romanes. In
fact Huxley, Tyndall and Wallace
died without faith. Haeckel was
proven guilty of unfair manipulation
of his experiments to prove his own
pet theories hence has lost caste as
a scientist. In his "Thoughts on Re
ligion" Romanes traces the steps in
his wonderful conversion to faith.
Wallace issued the summary of his
life-work in 1911 in a book entitled
"The World of Life." But see how
the one time agnostic has changed!
The sub-title of the work is "A Man
ifestation of Creative Power, Direc
tive Mind, and Ultimate Purpose."
Bergson, the greatest living light in
the Biological field entitles his philos
ophy, "Creative Evolution." The
great biologists are all lifting their
anchors and are shifting from the
quicksands of materialism to the
fiimer anchorage of faith.
The entire tide of modern scien
tific thought seems to be setting to
wards God and Immorality. The ebb
of the living twentieth century is
sweeping out into the deeps of the
ocean of faith, and the agnostic and
the materialist are left stranded upon
the bars, of their own blindness and
self-conceit. I am always heart-sick
for such for I know what they miss
by floundering in the shoals when
their souls might be sporting, free,
in the unfathomable depths of eter
nal life.

into -it creeps a note of menace. No
one hoars it at first, save Father Kel
ly, a priest, the former ttuor of
Bruce. Quietly he goes to work with
his , sharpened mental sense to find
the person who is causing the ad
verse influence in th household. Al
most on the verge of discovering the
cause, calamity descends upon the
Wilton House. Bruce's fortune is
swept away and in such a manner
that he believes his wife was the
cause of his ruin!
Husband and wife are separated,
the home is destroyed and yet the
cause of all this diseaster is unknown.
But Father Kelly, with a faith
that moves mountains, goes-l quiet
ly, serenely, confidently, with but one
purpose in view, the happiness of
those he loves.
He solves the mystery and lets
the white light of truth into the
minds that have -been darkened by
evil.
More than this, he finds the one
who has caused all the misery and re
stores the home.
