The Enterprise's harmony Live
Wire editorial Wednesday was some
joke.
Next Friday's primaries will start
the heartaches on thirteen candidates
for governor.
Which in your opinion does the
Oregonian hate the most, President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan or W. S.
U'Ren?
The good roads bonding proposi
tion will bring out a big primary vote
for the nominations next week Friday.
U'Ren's chances for governor went
up about 50 points Wednesday, when
the state Prohibitionists unanimously
nominated him for governor.
Should George C. Brownell be the
Republican nominee for governor,
won't it be a circus to watch the con
tortions of the Oregonian?
Is there any other country that
would tolerate the Oregonian s insul
ting cartoons on the president and
the government? Oregon's corrupt
practice act should become national.
Next Friday night the uncertain
ty will be over for the most of the
boys, and only commenced with the
lortunate ones.
Wouldn't the Oregonian let Booth
come out for state prohibition ? Per
haps the reply is that naner carried
a full page beer ad on the day of the
convention.
SOMETHING MORE
KNACK
THAN THE
It is easy to cay that any
body who wants to can get a
job, but some capable men
can't: somehow they haven't
the knack. Portlahd Journal.
Business of every character that
depends on brains is blacklisting
booze. The railroads, big business
concerns, small business concerns,
none of them will long employ the
drinker.
Governor Glynn of New York cut
nearly two million dollars out cf the
appropriation bill and vetoed 55
special bills carrying $6,000,000 ex
penditures. Wanted, a Governor
Glynn for Oregon's next governor.
James Smith for county commis
sioner, J. O. Stauts for county treas
urer, C. W. Green for county clerk
and Captain Blanchard for the city
constable, are not worrying over the
primary outcome. They are Demo
crats without opposition.
Taxpayers want to use their heads
at next week's primaries and nomi
nate men who they have full confi
dence will make good on their prom
ises of lowered state expenses and
appropriations. No use sending
double crosses to Salem and then
snivel afterwards.
Where is the candidate before the
primaries that is not endeavoring to
prove to the women that he was the
main instigator, the grand floor ad
vocate, and the boss booster for wo
man suffrage? And, ladies, how
many of them got out and campaig
ned for your case during the last el
ection ?
They may criticize Governor West
as they will, but we all know what a
joint the Milwaukie Tavern has been
for years, and if we are half honest
we are bound to commend him for
doinr a job others haven't been able
or disposed to do, and which needs
doing about as badly as any cesspool
in Oregon needs it. And may this
hole be closed to stay closed this trip.
The American flag should be
pulled down from the State De
partment and an emblem bear
ing the legend, "Peace at Any
Price" hoisted in its stead.
Oregonian.
If the Oregonian could have had
its way there would be bloody war
in Mexico now. Everything being
done is wrong, yet it has nothing
better to offer.
Col. Frank Moore is endeavoring
to bring about a change from the old
time program of Memorial Day ob
servance, and to have the civic or
ganizations join in a parade and hnve
an observance worth while. The
movement is proper and the differ
ent organizations should heartily as
sist. Let the city officials, tho fire
men, the schools and other organiza
tions all take hold of the proposition
and have a parade and exercises that
will make us all proud anil patriotic.

of
Ravenous Advertising
A country bank in the west took
advantage of a period . of religious
revivals and ran this ad:
"If Elijah were living today,
there would bo no ravens to
feed him. That brand of ra
ven has gone to roost forever.
The only bird that will feed you
now is the eagle on the Anier
can dollar. Catch the eagles.
Save the dollars. If vou do,
you and your family will never
starve. You will have Elijah
backed off the boards."
And sometimes there is more than
the lack of, knack that prevents
Lack of demand sometimes does.
Many a man has come to editor's
home during the past three years and
asked for something to eat, and no
sober man ever went away from Jhe
Kitcnen door nungry.
Perhaps the boys remember the
house number and pass the word
along. That we don't know or care.
We know a week seldom passed that
one or more do not come, and we
never argue with a starving stom
ach.
But many a man touched with the
kindness of a warm kitchen and
full meal, has tried to justify his
conditions, and the writer has heard
many a pathetic incident that has
made him think there is something
not running just as it should in this
good old world. It makes him think
there is something wanting beside
KnaeK to Keep men working and eat
ing. Here is one instance:
Monday morning a man past 00
asked if he could not work for some
breakfast. He was asked to come'in
until something warm could be pre
pared for him.
He sat by the kitchen fire for a
few minutes and then asked the lady
if there was not some work to do, or
some wood to split, while he was
waiting and he used the ax on the
woocipne until ms Dreaktast was
ready.
After he' had eaten and was
thanking the lady a baby in a high
chair reached up her little arms to
the old man and called to him in the
baby dialect.
And this stern-faced old man broke
clown and cried like a child.
Later he told a life story in a few
words. He had lived for 30 vears
on Long Island, N. Y., and during
this time he and his .wife had saved
$4,000 by hard days' work and care
ful saving.
this he invested on the advice of
his best friends, in a concern which
failed two or three years ago, the
name of which the lady did not re
call., '
They had no children, and the los
ing of the little fortune he said was
the direct cause of his wife's illness
and death.
Then the old man said he wanted
to get away from it all and he came
to California, and where he had grad
ually kept getting a little further and
further behind until he was forced
to ask for food.
"I have been working on a rail
road in northern California, but rains
prevented work more than half the
time, and with' board at $5 per week
in the company's tent I could not
keep even.
"I have walked nearly all the way
here, working at little jobs now and
then, sleeping out without blankets.
I have tried all the mills here, but
there nre so many stronger men than
I ahead that I don't stand much
show."
The old man said that he slcnt on
he bluff Sunday night until it be
gan to rain, then he had to walk un
til morning to keep warm.
And yet he was hopeful that as
the spring work opened ho could get
a steady job somewhere and save
enough money to provide for next
winter.
It wasn't the lack of knack that
kept this old man hungry and cold.
It was the lack of a chance to feed
himself the lack of a chance to earn
necessary food.
And the conclusion this incident
forces home is that there is some
thing awfully wronff with conditions
that breed millionaires and useless
extravagance at one end and poverty
and hunger at the other.
Any man has the right to live
when he is willing to give value re
ceived for that living, and we are
mighty soon going to see this coun
try so proportioned that they can
sell their labor for necessary food at
least.
There is a lot more than knack to
bring this about.
A LAST WORD
Month after month the farmers
nave written letters to the Courier,
condemning state and county politi
cal management, and urging that the
farmers line up and have a voice in
these affairs.
There are today nine candidate
before the primaries who are work
ing farmers.
Now, what are you going to do to
them?
Are you farmers going to stand by
and put them in nominatioa for the
oft ices, or are you going to let the
politicians split you up, fool you and
laugn at you when you come to th
papers with your protests later on
You are urging co-operation for
better recognition in your organiza
tions and societies now will you
nractice what you have been preaching?
Stand shoulder to shoulder, elect
vour men. and your power will be
recognized quicker than in any other
ossiole way.
Split up. divide your strength and
lose out, and your cause will be set
back for years.
Today you farmers are making
them all take notice of you for you
have made your strength felt. Hold
every inch you have and take a new
grip.
Standing solidly together at the
primaries will win you more respect,
Une vote is worth more than a col
umn protest in the Courier.
This -paper will honestly stand by
vou when you stand by yourselves
It will help you all it can if you will
help yourselves, but it won't stand by
if you show the yellow streak and
quit.
We care not what your party is,
There are ace high, honest men of
vour vocation, candidates for office
on both tickets. Stand by them and
you will win out and be considered
and feared in the political game.
Split un, you will lose out and
the politicians will lauirh at you.
The cards are yours play them
THE LUDLOW HORROR
NEAR SOCIALISM
- (Woodburn Independent)
An initiative bill providing for
State life and fire insurance would
oe favorably acted upon by a large
majority of the voters of Oregon. It
vould require little ettort to educate
the people on the subject, laxpay
ars would quickly percieve where
.hey would be saved money. The
writer has been lnlormed that it is
x Socialistic measure. That is cor-
i-ect, but it is also true that all of us
jelieve in socialism to some extent
and are not seemingly aware of the
fact. Congress has just appropria
ed $35,000,000 for an Alaskan rail
oad: that's Socialism. San Francis
co has issued more bonds for the ex-
ension of its municipal-owned rail
way system; thats Socialism. Port-
and years ago voted tor tree bridges
ind that's socialism. County own-
jrship of public roads and the issu
nee of bonds for materially improv-
ng them is Socialism. Woodburn
owning its own water works system
s Socialism. Many other instances
can be cited as evidence that we are
Socialists within certain limits.
which are eradually being extended,
The difference of opinion between
some of us and Socialists is that the
latter believe in full governmental
paternalism. They are generally
found opposing the piecemeal policy
They can see no good in the repub
lican, democratic or rrogressive par-
ties, while each of these parties see
some good in Socialistic principles
IN FAIRNESS
(Portland Journal)
In the interest of fairness it is
proper to say that the Oregonian is
attempting to cloud the issue govern
ing the $1 500 exemption measure,
That paper says the proposed con
stitutional amendment is clearly op
posed to the interests of the man
who nays no direct, taxes.
An initiative law adopted in 1912
exempts all household furniture from
taxation. Under that law some
Portland residents whose household
furniture stood on the- 1912 rolls at
valuations of $8,000 to $16,000 are
not required to pay taxes on it. The
proposed amendment limits their ex
emption to $1500. Naturally, the
man with $16,000 worth of household
furniture is opposed to a measure
which gives him no advantage over
the man with only $1500 worth ot be
longings in his home.
The measure is designed to en-
courage the small home owner. It
will not benefit the renter of a fur
nished apartment, and neither is he
benefitted by the present law. It
Will not injure the average home
owner, for the exemptions it pro
vides will be largely offset by taxes
on property which is now exempt
under a law which received the unit
ed support of the very people who
now oppose this measure.
One trouble with our tax lavs
b that they arc 100 per cent effi
cient against the average man and
wo fully deficient in reaching the
man of means. The latter finds no
difficulty in securing exemptions,
while all the average man has is in
plain view of the assessors.
HOW IT WOULD EFFECT THIS
COUNTY.
Tho Courier and the twice-n-wock
Portland Journal, three papers each
week for $1.75 is somo bargnin.
Opportunity Insurance
Many a man 1ms lost good business opportunities
by not being prepared financially to grasp them.
In an EaHtem city a skiled machinist, 50 years old,
who had always earned a good salary, sold a valu
able invention for a small amount because he had
not saved any money and had not capital to float it.
He said that if he had even a small amount of capi
tal, he could have made a fortune out of the de
vice .Now past middle life, he must keep on work
ing, when he might have retired in comfort In
sure your opportunities by means of a Savings Ac
count In this kind of insurance you are paid div
idends instead of having to pay premiums. ....At
this bank your dividend conies in the form of 3 per
cent, semi-annually compounded interest.
The Bank of Oregon City
OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
Alfred D. Cridge, writing of the
$1500 home tax exemption measure,
shows how it would effect Clacka
mas county:
In 1910 tho average farmer of
Clackamas county had less than
$1000 in assessed values in the shape
of personal property and improve
ments The indicationss are that
this measure would not exempt over
$750 to each farmer there. If the
total exemptions in Clackamas coun
ty reach ten per cent of its present
assessed values it will fall lightly
on the home owners' lots and acres
because most of that county is held
by (speculators and corporations.
Nearly one-third is corporation fran
chises and other property not ex
empt a cent, and apparently nearly
all the rest is land values, of which
the tillable land is less than one-
fifth of the total values of the coun
ty. The farmers do not own all of
that.
It is a live issue now placed
squarely up to the electorate. It is
especially intended to exempt from
taxation the improvements and per
sonal property used as a home or to
make a livelihood up to the assessed
amount of $1500 for each taxpayer,
of $1300 for each taxpayer.
(Rockv Mountain News
The horror of the shambles at Lud
low is overwhelming. Not since the
days when pitiless red men wreak
ed vengeance upon intruding front-
iersmen and upon their women and
children has this western country
oeen scainea witn so foul a deed
ine aetaiig or the massacre are
horrible. Mexico offers no barbarity
so base as that of the murder of de
fenceless women and children by the
mine guards in soldiers' clothing.
Like whitened sepulchres we boast
vj. muciu.au i-ivnizuuon wun tnis in
famous thing at our very doors. Hu
erta murdered Madero. but even Hu-
erta did not shoot an innocent little
boy seeking water for his mother
who lay ill. Villa is a barbarian, but
in his maddest excess Villa has not
turned machine guns on imprisoned
women and children. Where is the
outlaw so far beyond the pale of
human kind as to burn the tent
over the heads of nursing mothers
and helpless little babes?
Out of this infamy one fact stands
clear. Machine guns did the mur
der. , The maehine guns were in the
hands of mine guards, most of whom
were aiao members of the state mi
litia. It was private war, with the
wealth of the richest man in the
world behind the mine euards.
Once and for all time the right to
employ armed guards must be taken
away from private individuals and
corporations. To the state, and to
the state alone, belongs the right to
maintain peace. Anything else is
anarchy. Private warfare is the
only sort of anarchy the world has
ever Known, and armed forces em
ployed by private interests have in
troduced the only private wars of
modern times. This practice must
be stopped. If the state laws are not
strong enough, then the federal gov
ernment must step in. At anv cost
private warfare must be destroyed
Who are these mine guards to
whom is entrusted the sovereign
right to massacre? Four of the
fraternity were electrocuted recently
in New York. They are the gunmen
of the great cities, the offscouring of
the world. Warped by the wrongs
of their own upbringing, they know
no justice and they care not for mer
cy. They are hardly human in intel
ligence, and not as high in the scale
ot kindness as domestic animals.
Yet they are not the guilty ones.
The blood of the innocent women and
children rests on the hands of those
who for the greed of dollars employ
ed such men and bought such ma
chines of murder. The world has not
been hard upon these: theirs has
been a gentle upbringing. Yet they
reck not of human life when pecun
iary interests are involved.
The blood of the women and chil
dren, burned and shot like rats,
cries aloud from the ground. The
great state of Colorado has failed
them. Her militia, which should
have been the impartial protectors
or the peace, have acted as murder
ous gunmen, the machine guns
which played in the darkness upon
the homes or humble men and wo
men, whose only crime was an ef
fort to earn an honest living, were
bought and paid for by agents of the
mine owners. Hocplosive bullets
have been used on children. Doe?
the bloodiest page in the French rev
olution approach this in hideous-
less .'
In the name of humanity, in the
name of civilization, we have appeal
ed to President Wilson, riis ear
heard the wail of the innocent, out
raged and dying in Mexico. Cannot
the president give heed to the suf
ferings of his own people?
Think, Mr. President,-of the cap
tain of the strikers, Louis Tikas,
whose truce with the gunmen was
ended with his murder. Think of the
fifty-one shots which were passed
through the strike leader. Think of
his body, which has lain exposed
since his infamous killing. Then,
with that vast power which has been
committed to you as the executive of
a great nation, attend to the misery
wrought by an anarchistic lust for
dollars. Without your speedy aid
the poor and the needy, betrayed by
the state, may be slaughtered to the
last smiling babe.
"JUSTICE"
Matt Yarkonis, just a no-account
coal digger, was in a mine accident,
and when he was rescued he was to
tally blind,
He brought a damage action and
finally a jury in the United States
district court gave him $50,000 for
the loss of his eyes, and other injur
ies.
But the judge (law in himself)
said the amount was excessive, and
reduced it $14,000. The judge
gave as his reasons that altho the
foreigner was helpless he did not
suffer pain.
No doubt he measures damage ac
tion by agony measures pain out at
so much per yard, or ton.
that as the man was a coal min
er and shut out from light the most
of his time his eyes were not as val
uable to him as a man who lived on
top of the earth, and saw more
things.
This is a true conclusion of a
udge of a great court not literal,
but the reasoning he used to reduce
the verdict.
All men are not created eaual be
fore tnis learned jurist.
ihe uunp-arian whom necessity
forced to live the most of the time
under ground had not as much claim
to the blessings of sight because he
missed a lot ot it.

COUNTY DEMOCRATS HEAR
PLEDGES OF CANDIDATES
3i-ennial Banquet is Great Success

Clackamas county democracy was

aspiring candidates Friday night of
last weeK, ana what with music, the
excellent repast prepared by the la
mes oi tne Presbyterian church and
the flow of oratory, the evening was
voiea one oi tne best political love
leasts ever held. Three aspirants
ior tne governor's chair were pres
ent and others sent their regrets, as
did even President Woodrow Wilson,
ihe leader of all present day Demo
crats. And when the orchestra play
ed "Dixie" everybody yelled, so it
was a real democratic gathering.
Sheriff Mass, chairman of the
county central committee, expected u
crowd, but even his expectations
were exceeded, and before all the
guests could be attended to another
room opening off W. O. W. hall had
to be opened, and even then some of
tne late-comers had to take "second
table." After the feast had been at
tended to properly including the
'Bryan cocktails" that traced each
olate, the real flow of soul beiran.
Gilbert Hedges acting as toastmas
ter, and introducing the various
speakers.
Judge Gatens. of Portland, made
tne rirst political speech of his life
so he said and received a warm
round of applause. The judge spoke
in particular of the needs of greater
decency in enforcing and interpret
ing the law, and urged the women
voters to do their share in correcting
certain evils which he called to the
attention of all. His plea in the
main was for better conditions for
boys and girls, and a more thorough
safeguarding tor their morals.
loastmaster Hedges then intro
duced various "governors," Robert
Miller, A. J. Bennett, John Manning
and A. S. Cobb. All of them save
John Manning asked the support of
tnose present so that Uregon could
have the "best administration" pos
sible. Mr. Manning just said he was
going to be the next governor and
then launched into his land theory.
Dr. Smith sent a letter of regret.
W. H. Meredith, of Curry county,
a candidate for congress, from this
district, was present and made a
short talk. Frederick Hollister, of
North Bend, who had been expected
to make one of the speeches of the
evening, and tell of his plan for rep
resenting Oregon in congress, was
detained in his home on account of
serious illness in his family, and
could not be present. Attorney Jef
fry, of Portland, made the hit of the
evening, when he told the Democrats
that he wasn't seeking votes for the
nomination for attorney general. He
had a "cinch" on the nomination, he
said, because he was the only Demo
cratic aspirant.
Mr. Hedges added a few remarks
to make up the joy of the evening,
ind some of the lesser fry among the
andidates also got a chance to. tell
how good thev were. At the end all
of the Democrats present expressed
regret that they would have to wait
two vears before thev could again sit
down at such a successful gathering.
The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the offi
cial examinations to be o! the
highest leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and vvholesomencss.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest and most economical food.
HOLLISTER'S VIEWPOINT
S. L. CASTO
An Open Letter
Myrtle Point, Ore. Mar. 23, '14.
I am writing you about Mr. W. H.
Meredith of Wedderburn, who is a
andidate for congress from this
district, subject to the Democratic
Nomination in May.
Mr. Meredith has been a temper
ance worker for twenty years and
Frederick Hollister, democratic
candidate for congressman from this
district, is no politician. He does
not seem to be able to "trim his sails
to the wind." He has convictions of
his own, and he expresses them
bluntly. He is a man of the newer
type in the political world, the kind
of man who thinks he can serve his
fellows successfully and who is will
ing to do it as a public duty. His
record shows him to have been in
the past a frank, honest and success
ful businessman, and he is going af
ter Hawley s place in Congress in
just about the same way he'd go af
ter anything else openly and frankly-
For instance, he declares himself
for national prohibition and in his
platform he has from the first
pledged himself to work for notion
al prohibition if elected. He believes
the only satisfactory way to solve
the liquor problem is to make pro
hibition nation-wide. He thinks sec
tional, county or state prohibition is
futile and a waste of energy; and
there are many who have studied the
workings of sectional prohibition
that agree with him. He doesn't be
lieve that you can build a dry is
land in a sea of booze and keep the
waves Irom overwhelming the shore.
And so he is for national prohibition,
and says so bluntly.
It takes backbone for a candidate
these days to embody a declaration
like that in his platform and to sick
to it within equivocation of "trim
ming. Hut Hollister is a man with
Backbone and lots of it, and also he
is a man with grit enough to stick
to anything he starts. He is a lead
er in the town, a leader in his coun
ty, and a figure of prominence thru
out the entire state. He seems,
therefore, to be good congressional
timber. Oregon democracy appears
to be attracting real men these days,
which is one of the most promising
things for the Democratic party
that can be found.

I am a candidate for Congress on
the Republican ticket at the Primary
election to be held May 15th.
Briefly, I stand for the improve
ment of our rivers and harbors; for
the enacting of new or the amending
of the present homestead laws, to cut
out the cultivation clause, and make
it possible for the wild lands of Ore
gon to be settled; for the survey
ing and classifying of the sixteen
million acres of land in our Forest
Reserves, that the agricultural and
grazing land may be opened to set
tlement; for free tolls on American
coast-wise vessels; for Government
aid for good roads; for just and lib
eral compensation for all labor; and
for national suffrage for women.
If the Government shall finally
win the suit now pending against
the Oregon and California Railroad
Company, I will do all in my power
to keep these lands from being plac
ed in the Forest Reserves, and will
work to the end that the grazing and
agricultural lands therein be opened
to settlement under the homestead
laws.
For my Legislative record. I re
fer you to the Voters' Pamphlet.

Colorado's canoned altitudes
With thundered horrors rung;
America's freedom echoed
Cries Bunker Hill had sung.
Benighted Hessians gloated,
The mighties favor sought,
And tender hearts are still
Horrors gilded bought.
Tiny fingers without sin
Charged blackened with infamy.
No marble aid to memory
On a nation's blasphemy.
Darkened diamonds warmth
Thy diary of greed,
The fathers' vengeance sown;
Empires reap in speed.
