OREGON CITY COURIER... THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1914. OREGON CITY COURIER Published Thursdays from the Couri er Building, Eighth and Main streets, and entered in the Postoffice at Oregon City, Ore., as 2d class mail matter OREGON CITY COURIER PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHER M. J. BROWN, A. B. FROST, OWNERS. Subscription Price $1.50. Official Paper for the Farmers Society of Equity of Clackamas Co M. J BR.OWN, Our empty jail is about the loud est advocate for prohibition. Wonder what the Oregonian can find to kick on in Wilson's Mexican policy now? Rnnsfivelt has lost his rabbit's foot. 'Wav down in South America and all this Mexican doines eoiner on with out any of his statements in the new dispatches. Mougn iucks It would be well to nominate erovernor on the Republican ticket who can be elected. The nomination of Crawford would be equivalent to defeat. Woodburn Independent. Hobson, whose prohibition bill is before Congress committee, nas am ended it to provide that anyone can set up a distillery and make whiskey for his own use . Hobson has always been on the joke list, but this pill or asinity puts him at the head. Ala bama .did the right thing in retiring him. The Grange Bulletin had an edi torial comment last week on the su preme court's decisions which let men found guilty of immoral prac tices escape punishment, ihe jsune tin says judges Burnett, Bean, Moore and Ramsey supported the opinions that the convictions were illegal, and then adds significantly "These judg es are candidates lor re-election. If this situation grows into war, the first shot fired by an American ship will unite the forces of the Mexicans and men will serve in the common army regardless of political color. Entemrise. What remarkable foresight! What extraordinary discernment! Wonder if Wilson couldn't be . induced to swap Bryan for the editor until the cold, cruel war is over ! SOME LOGIC. ' i The Oregon City Courier says there would be no tax-sucking boards and commissions unless governors of the past had per mitted them to4be born, all of which smacks strongly of the truth. But it omits to mention that the most obnoxious of these commissions saw the light during the administration of the present governor, whom the Courier has adorned with a nice fitting little halo, and also pre serves an oppressive silence re garding that busy little com mission maker, U'Ren, whom it presents as a remedy for all legislative ills. Hillsboro Inde pendent. The Independent savs we "omit to mention" that the most obnoxious of these commissions was born under West's administration. We' did not mention ANY of the 40 boards and commissions specifically, and we are as much against the useless ones born under West's administration as any others. As to Mr. U'Ron. if the Inderien dent editor would read his platform he would find that he emphatically declares atrainst these useless com missions, and says he will work to abolish them whether elected gover nor or not. If Editor Kileen would inform himself better his comments would not be so ridiculous. FREEING CONVICTS A local attorney told the Courier editor he was inviting a contempt of court action in his comments on the supreme court decision which releas ed a degenerate, found guilty of a nauseatintr crime. The supreme court is inviting the contempt of the people every time it renders decisions that let guilty men escape. Here are comments by the Port' land Journal. That paper is also in viting contempt charges. The jury in the case , of the two little girls unanimously agreed that the defendant was guilty. But the case is revers ed, and because of the attitude of the majority of the justices in the higher court, there is lit tle prospect that he will ever be punished. It is a lamentable condition when a jury, familiar with all the testimony, convicts in these vice cases, only to meet with a reversal on technical prounds in the higher court. Everybody knows Dr. Start was (ruiltv. But he escaoed punishment. Every body knows McAllister was guilty. But ho escaped punishment. BREAD and DOUGH Remember the bread "starter" mother kept in the cellar. When mother loaned the starter to the woman next door, she received a gratis loaf, buttered on top, for the use of the "starter." It's just the same with money. You open a SavingB Account, which would be a "starter," with this bank and the interest that accumulates on it will be the "Extra Buttered Loaf." Why not have a Savings Account and receive this "extra" loaf? Besides, the "starter" will grow too, as you add a little dough now and then. The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY Telephones, Main 5-1; Home A 5-1 EDITOR WAR Sixteen years ago the Courier edi tor wrote the above head over an editorial, and wondered what the price would be. Uur navy sanK ine most oi opain s war boats; we took Cuba and gave it away; we took the Philippines and wish we had iven wem away anu a few American boys gave up their lives for their country. Today we have taKen vera cruz, and our marines are on Mexican soil. Four have been killed, twenty wounded. . . How much of a war and what tne (nat will he remains to be seen. Some argue that the offense of a drunken dictator, over whom the reD- bels were counting ten. was insui ficient cause to demand an empty attonement in the form of a salute of blank eun charges to a cloth Hag, But this depends on the viewpoint and the man. One man will heap vulgar epithets nn another. He may not resent them. He may argue the offense did not warrant a fight. Another man will see red, ne win strike. It depends on the quality of the blood in his conducts. , War is on in Mexico, We may call it by any other term, but Its plain, bloody war just tne same. How much of a slaughter it will hafnrna nil denends. If Wilson pan have his way- and be allowed to handle the situation, it won't be much of a war. He can bottle up the ports, tell VSlla to cm and finish Huerta, and recoernize the rebel government aiwr the finish. Or the big interests wno want intervention and an army of inva sion, mav so scramble things that fho nrnsent Internal strife In Mexico will end, and an Mexicans iigni, who ... r i -' .t Li aUI country. The future Is guesswork. We only know that war has commenced. God only knows the end. DON'T CARP STAND BY Will this country continue to aid Huerta, continue to do the very thing that the dictator in the republic to the south could wish? Then will the adminis tration realize that instead of harming the president of Mex ico every act of hostility is a di rect aid to him, even tho the statement may seem to contra Hint. Mnrninc Enterprise. For months President Wilson has shut his ears to the clamor oi cer tain intflrnRta for intervention in Mexico and has kept his hands off, and not until he was forced by the insults to the flag and country oiq ha mao thA iron hand. And during all. these months aiu the Enterprise print one wora in commendation of his policy? Nn. when Wilson has served no tice on the drunken dictator of Mex ico that the American nag is more than a rag, and that no murderous greaser can insult it then the En terprise lets is politics crawl on top of its patriotism, and pretends to criticise the acts or. a man ho muu. qWa him then he would have to ladder to see him. A fnw years aeo an America Commodore, Bainbridge, said: "My .nnnfrv mnv it alwavs be rijrnt, rtit right or Wrong, my r.niTNTRY." th ficht becrinsi and the blood of Americans begins to soak nn t.r. soil of of sun-baked Mexico, then is the time to stow the carping criticism and bring out American pa-f-riAfin i In Its nlnce. And the man who has red blood in his viens wilt d this. . ' President Wilson has exhausted svorv hnnnrahlA mens to avoid war but now he can't stand longer to let a greaser rub it in. Every true American is with him. .. A MATTER OF EDUCATION. If the farmers can be made to see the matter in the light that Mr su -livnn nuts it that trood roads will be far cheaper than the cost of our present roads, and that the saving in maintenance and travel will more than nav for the interest and the difference in cost, then will the vot era aiistiiin the bond issue. The present system has cost this county far to much for the roads It lino w onn't iret awav from that. We have paid for a long stretch of hard surfaced roads in tne last nve years, hut we haven't eot the roads. But if they take Mr. Spencs's view of the case, to build five miles a year, and pay for them as they are built, instead of bonding the -county and payintr the big interest, then will they vote the proposition down. Babieg on the Other Side "There must surely be some babies on the other side of sleep, Some little hands whose pressure and run, Some ltitle hands whose pressure shall bring peace to eyes that weep, Some fields where babies tumble in the sun." ONE MAN JUSTICE The constitutions, both state and nation guarantees to any man charg- with a crime the right of a trial by jury. - isut the charter of Ureeon (Jity de nies that right to a man, and denies him the right of appeal. Arrested on a charge of violating the city laws, he is tried before the recorder. The recorder has the power to de prive him of his liberty, to sentence mm to jail, if in his lone judgement ha i3 guilty, and the defendant has no right to an appeal, or right to a triitl by jury. This is too great a power and too great a responsibility for one man. It is a greater power than is given to any judge or court in this country. This is not a criticism oi the re corder and Mr. Loder knows it. It is written before his decision in the Stuart case. It is simply sustain ing Judge Hayes' contentions. Judge Hayes said in part: "Tne recorder oi uregon (jity has more power in this town than the chief justice of the su preme court. There can be no appeal -taken from his decision. He has the right to sentence a man to a term in the city jail or to impose a fine by himself. I say this in all justice to Mr. Loder, who I believe is an hon est and fair minded man. I do not say this as an excuse for any verdict that tne court may return Wednesday. I do not even say it as a lawyer, but as a citizen." You can't get away from this. If a man is arrested and brought be fore Justice Sievers Tie has the right to have a jury try him, and he ha the right to appeal from the decis ion to the circuit court, up to tht supreme, and as much farther as his inclination and coin will carry him. But arrested for a city crime he has to take what the recorder hands out and let it end there. The dangerous power lies in the chance of an unfair or until record er. and it is too great a power. It is possible to nave a recorder in Oregon (Jity at some iuture day who would abuse this power. The people have no voice in select- inff him. and the political moves or a city council mignt put a man in who would discharge every violatov . . ' .. . . . , brought before him or might appoim. a man who would give a jail sentenc to everv offender. Kvery man cnarged witn a crime should be given the right of trial by iury. Judge Hayes is dead ngnt. NO HAPPY MEDIUM After a two years' trial of a semi- weekly edition the Telephone-Register of McMinnville has discontinued it and gone back to the weekly edit ion. The paper states the second edition did not pay; that the adver tisers state the weekly edition ans wers their purpose and that there was but little demand for the second edition. During the past year the Courier has been almost beseiged by its sub scribers and patrons to issue tri weekly or seini weekly editions. We have considered the matter thoroughly and are yet considering it. The one big argument against it is that we nave seen many a spien Hid weekly partially ruined and its circulation cut in two by being run into a daily or twice-a-weeK eaiuons. The Courier's circulation gain has been remarkable, and we hesitate to change a proved success to try an experiment. And the Telephone-Register's ex perience makes us hesitato the more. Time after time we have seen weekly papers firmly established as "county papers" try semi weekly editions, lose their holds, let the standard drop, and finally go back to the old system and work for months to reirain the lost hold. There is a field for a daily and one for a weekly, but there does not seem to be a middle field that makes good. The weekly that tries it in variably loses. MAYBE HE DIDN'T GET 'EM It is quite possible that President Wilson isn't getting his Oregonian regularly these days. Perhaps when ho moved from Trenton or Princeton, New Jersey, to Washington, D. C, he forgot to notify the "tall tower, of a change in his address. He real ly ought to look this matter up and so please the Oregonian 'and sav himself from future scoldings. The Oregonian on Tuesday of this week called editorial attention to several warnings it had given Presi dent Wilson about conditions in Mex ico, and to a great deal of free ad vice it had given him upon the suo ject of how best to deal with the sit uation in the southern revolution torn republic. After referring to these remarks, the Oregonian said: "ALL WARNINGS HAVE BEEN UNHEEDED." This is too bad. But, as suggest ed above, perhaps the President ha not been getting his Oregonian reg ularly. The matter of whether the voters of the county will sustain or rejeet the bonding proposition May 15 de ponds entirely on the light on which it is presented to them. Any man will vote for an investment. The question is to decide whether the bonding proposition is one or not. On this point will depend plain facts and figures, presented in such a shape that the people can grasp and understand them readily. New Grand Jury The following is the new grand jury drawn Monday: R.

ONE NAME PRESERVED Council Will not Abolish "Moss St." and Forget Pioneer of City Moss street, as the lower end of Main street beyond Seventeeth is called in honor of one of the city pioneers, is to remain Moss street. Application to the city council to change this name, owing to the fact that there was another "Moss street" was turned down last Thursday on motion of Councilman Meyer, sec onded by Mr. Hackett. The other Moss street will have a new name given it when a committee composed of Meyer, Hackett and Tooze select one. At the same meeting of the coun cil resolutions for the improvement of Division street from Molalla ave nue to the Fisher claim line were adopted, the plan calling for 40 too'. macadam and concrete side-walKs. A resolution for the improvement of Fifteenth street with a 15-foot strip of macadam and wooden side walks between Jackson and Madison street was characterized as an out rage and rank discrimination by Councilman Albright, who declared that as property owners on this part of the street had paid their share of full improvement of the street else where they ought to be given a street now, and not "a county road." The resolution was defeated, and on mo tion of Mr. Albright the city engin eer was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for a iuii-widtn improvement of this portion of Fif teenth street. An amendment to the license ordi nance, providing a scale of quarterly payments for motor trucks, was tak en up, but deferred to a later meet ing for action. On motion of Mr. Tooze the city attorney was instruc ted to prepare an ordinance govern ing the sale of cigarettes. .Also on motion of Mr. Tooze some action on providing hitching posts was sought. The mayor appointed a commitee consisting of Tooze, Albright, Meyer and himself to take up this matter. Chief of Folice Shaw was instruct ed to notify the keeper of a pool ha 1 at Ulvvile that he must witmn a week remove an objectionable par tition or have his license revoked. Bids for the Seventh street sewer work were opened and referred to the street committee and city attor ney for acceptance. Six bids were received, two from Portland firms. The Oregon Engineering and Con- Construction company was the low est bidder, offering to do the work for $3,113.28. The highest bid was S3.557.90. On motion of Councilman Metzner orders were given to have the side walk leading to the cemetery placed in good condition before Decoration day. DUMP TO BE CLEANED UP City Officials Order Betterment of Conditions JNorth ot lown Wednesday Mayor Jones and mem bers of the city council inspected the city dump, adjoining the county gravel pit, and alter generously con demning things as they are, determ ined to employ a man to burn all rub bish and to disinfect and bury such refuse as could not be destroyed. The dump ia at present dver-run with rats and flies, and is a nuisance to all residents of the neighborhood. With the approach of warm weather conditions were getting unbearable, and so municipal action was decided upon. Aside from the usual refuse to be found on a city dump, the officers found considerable meat and vege tables that had been sent out from Oregon City butcher shops and gro ceries. These dealers will be noti fied to burn such matter themselves in the future and not send it out to the dump, where there is no means of aking proper care of it. A tre mendous amount of old receipts, re ports and other paper matter from the old post office was also founft on the dump, and it was tne Dene: of all that this matter should be burned instead of having been ship ped out as garbage.
