OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 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. E. FROST, OWNERS. Subscription Price $1.30. Official Paper for the Farmers Society of Equity of Clackamas Co M. J. BR.OWN, - EDITOR Hollister looks like a sure thing. "Friday is the day that makes them or does for them. There are a bunch of men in Ore gon who are not sleeping very well just now. If every legislator abolishes up to his promise, there won't be much left for the bova to auarrel over. Should the primaries nominate two "wet" candidates, there won't be much to it making U'Ren governor. If that man Hollister is nominated for Congress Friday, western Oregon is going to' have representation in congress. A live Democratic nominee for congress will give Hawley just about what Taft got in the last election, and Hollister of North Bend is a live one. When a newspaperman spreads himself on an article in support of some candidate, does it freely and then later on sees some other news paper down the line run it over Paid Adv." well, you know, v The first number of the Salem Gazette, a paper that has an ambition to become a state paper, has reached this office, and if following numbers are as bright as No. 1, it will soon be getting outside of Marion county. D. H. Upjohn is editor, and he has the goods. The Gazette is independent in both name and material. The action of the business men, the Commercial Club and the City Council in taking hold of the matter of better accommodations for farm ers and teams, is the real right move, and you are going to see some thing besides talk now. For three sbraignt years mis mauer nas Deen brought up and talked, and last week a bunch of real earnest ones did more in thirty minutes than has been done in thirty months. "This talk about the farmers hav ing it in for Oregon City is all non sense," said one of the farmers to the Courier the - other day. "And 1 wish you would so state. It's simply a business proposition. If your city provides markets our stult will come there. If you do not, it will go some where else. If you provide posts or sheds for our teams, where our wives know teams will be safe, you will gel our trade. ir you will not we will not drive in any more than is abso lutely necessary. We don't want any coaxing, petting or babying. If the city wants our produce and trade b. 1 enough to po after it you will get it, if not you wont. It's a business proposition, and business will count for more than brass bands and auto parades." OPPORTUNITY If Fred Hollister is nominated by the Democrats for congress Friday, Mr. Hawley can fold his official hands for the home term for Holl ister will beat him. Hawley has not served eight years in congress because he has made good, but because the Democrats HAVEN'T MADE GOOD. It is pretty clear circumstantial evidence that the Democrats who steer things have heretofore played Hawley's game nominated candi dates against him who wore easy picking --the lust one under indict ment at the time of bis nomination. But this week we have a man who can take Mr. Hawley's order, and all the Democrats have to do is to put Hollister up where Democrats and Republicans can vote for him in No vember. For the first time in years the Democrats have a candidate who can clean up for our stand-pat represent ative, and it seems inconceivable they will throw away the chance. Republican odds are nothing to the right sized man. Party bridles will be slipped when a cumliduto of strength is nominated. A level-headed, broad-gaged, and brainy man is Hollister. Ho is a live one, a progressive, a worker, e doer. If nominated, he will suro get Mr Hawley. Clackamas county has probably registered more protests against i Hawley's big business representa tion in Congress than any other coun ty. Friday this county can make those protests good. Hollister's nomination means his election, and that Chamberlain and Lane will have a standfast friend from Oregon. Play to beat Ifawlcv Friday. Vote to nominate Hollister. ir Opportunity Insurance Many a man has lost good business opportunities by not being prepared financially to Krasp them. In an Eastern city a sUiled 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 flout it. He said thut if he hud 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 comes in the form of 3 per cent, semi-annually compounded interest. The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY Telephones, Main 5-1; Home A 5-1 DIRTY Knocking a man down will some times change his mind, but spitting in his face never will. The following is the closing para graph of an editorial in the Oregon ian last week on the outcome of the Prohibitionist convention: But the Prohibitionists them selves have accepted the humble position of tail to the U'Ren kite. It will be the old story of the farmer who yoked him self up with an ass. How pleasing this will be to the temperance people of Oregon. The state Prohi convention in Port land was made up of the men and women of Oregon who are fighting for the best good of the state fight ing for a cause that is the biggest issue in Oregon. These delegates unanimously plac ed W. S. U'Ren in nomination for governor, because they believe in him and know that if prohibition should win and he be elected gover nor, there WILL BE probition in Oregon. He was the logical candidate and the strongest man for the dry cause in Oregon. And the Oregonian insults the del egates to this convention with the nasty comparison above. One of the leading .temp'erance workers of western Oregon made this comment on the editorial to the Courier editor: "The Oregonian's opposition will help rather than injure the state wide temperance fight. Its editor ial page has little influence with the ranks. It would have opposed Brownell, or any other candidate for governor just as bitterly. That pa per would have us nominate a lone some Prohibition candidate, as we nave always done and lose out." There is truth in the above. The loss of. influence -of the Ore Ionian was shown in the last munici pal election in Portland when every proposition it advocated was buried )y the voters. Its editorial page is mistrusted by the privates. It is a literal fact that nany farmers and laboring men are pposed to many things the Oregon an advocates for no other reason han that paper does advocate them on the general principal that what he Oregonian bunch wants the rank vnd file does not want. The Oregonian came out with a "ull page booze ad two days before he convention. : It came out with an editorial in sult to the men and women delegates two days after the convention. The Orogonian doesn't want state wide temperance. As the man above luoted truly says, that paper would like to see the Prohibitionists jog along as they have always jogged; nominate a strictly party candidate, i man they know they cannot elect, ttnd then play horse with him. ' But the temperance forces are out to win this year. The Oregonian's spitting on them won't change them. THE THREE SHELL GAME Only five arrests in this citjf last month, so the police news tells 'us. There were as many in one night last year. . Last year mere were ien ju i-uinivn Kiilnnns nuttinc men in a con- i;titi fr, hn nvrpst.pH. Tvif o nmn in tho rniintv mil was reported by the sherrif's department last montn a condition aimust un known in county history. Talk of reducing the police force 30 council members say. , A year ago wo had extra plain clothes men on tho force and detect ives here from Portland to help catch law violators. , These comparisons are on tne rigm 31.1.. nf tlm lcdirnr. to the man who knows how to keep books. The booze game nas uiwuys uccn md always will be an over-draft. It may rake in a few thousand, dol lars in licenses and fines, but the ionics of want pay them. They are issessed against tho wives and child ren who can not afford to pay them. Beefsteak is worth more than the looze in any home, and the man who loesn't buy booze buys the meat. A booze license gives a man the nP lYinliinir monev olf the un- ortumitcs and it is revenue that osts more than it is worm.

Tho man who votes for it knows it, the man who drinks it knows it. n. tin-.m hll rnme and any man who plavs it looses. The game is "fixed" against him.

ABOLISH HIM If a company sent a representative from Oregon to Washington on a business' matter his actual car fare would be about $120 for the return trip, or two cents per mile. Oregon' sends its representative, Congressman Hawley, to Washington on business and he gets 20 cents per mile or $1200 car fare. In other words he has $1180 to put down in his jeans over the $7,500 salary paid him by the government. The Courier has had considerable to say about this mileage rake-off, because we consider it just a plain steal. That a public representative should make $1180 while he is riding across the country to and from a $7500 job isn't anywhere near moral honesty, even if it is legal, for he is getting something for nothing, some thing he doesn't earn, something ,he is not entitled to. Recently this steal was abolished, or rather modified so the congress men couldn't get so much of it. But there came an amendment to restore the 20 cents mileage, and con tinue the graft for the congress man. Where was our "No-Interests-to Serve-but-the People" Hawley? HE VOTED YES. He voted to add this $1200 to his pay roll money he does not. earn and which we all know he has no moral right to. This vote of our congressman is a matter of record. You will find it in the roll call in the Congressional Record of April 17, 1914, pages 7309-70. Don't you reckon we had better in clude Hawley as among the useless commissions and abolish him? Did he vote for your interests when be voted to retain this $1200 mileage graft FOR HAWLEY? GEO. M. McBRIDE Candidate for joint senator for Clackamas, Columbia and Multnomah County, is an old Clackamas county boy, and was raised in Oregon City. He is a son of Chief Justice Mc Bride of the Supreme Court, is 37 years of age; is a taxpayer, lias a family of his own; owns his own home and is familiar with the naeds and conditions of the county and state. Mr. McBride believes there is no logical reason why the taxpayer's money, so badly needed by him dur ing the spring and summer months, should be tied up and be idle in order to avoid a heavy penalty, and believes in the semi-annual payment of taxes. He also believes that too many laws or hasty and ill-advised legis lation tends to extravagance and dis respect for law; that many of our unnecessary boards and commissions could be abolished and others com bined to save duplication of work in short in common sense legislation in the interest of taxpayers. (Paid Adv.) State Tax Commission, State Highway Commission, State Railroad Commission, State School Supervisor State Naval Militia, State Fish Com mission, and steen othet commissions Don't you believe, you could worry along for a year or two if they were sent to the morgue? We are not guessing on the nomi nees for governor nobody dares guess but if we were to predict, which we will not, we would guess that Mosier will be the Republican nominee, and that Smith will get the Democratic persimmons. A week ago if we had guessed, which we did not, we would have said Manning, but since the Oregonian has begun abus ing Smith it will help his chances and do much to nominate him. As to the other officials, we are too rush ed this week to forecast the tickets but come around Saturday and we will tell you all about it. The chances for Mr. Road Bond are about 2 to 1, against him. Just put a pin here and see if our 1915 mind reader's license hasn't been applied for: One of the first bills to be introduced in the Portland (state) senate (if there is one left) will be an appropriation of $250,000 more for art' Oregon exhibit to the San Fran cisco Fair. Yes, we appropriated $150,000 for the fair at the last session, but the cost of commissions and building ma terial is high and well, you know. It's the same old scheme. Get 'your foot in it, then pay more to get your foot out. Wonder how many of the Clacka mas delegation will vote for the Port land raise back ? Should Reward Crawford May 9th, 1914. Editor Courier: The voters of Oregon have it in their power to reward Attorney Gen eral A. M. Crawford for establishing the validity of the Initiative and Ref erendum before the State Courts and the United States Supreme Court, and incidentally collecting over $00,000 disputed taxes in this case. Mr. Crawford has shown himself to be on the side, of the people and his advancement to the Governor shin should follow as a matter of public approval for the good work he has done for the people of this state.

HAMMOND ATTORNEY AT LAW Beaver Building; Oregon City OREGON CITY, OREGON Cash Buyers of Cream 2c above Market Price THE MEADOWBROOK I BRIDGE MATTER! Robert Schucbel Thinks it is One to . Go Slow On Eldorado, Ore. Editor Courier: D. L. Trullinirer and myself have been accused of making a fight against the building of the Meadow brook bridge across the Molalla river from selfish motives, and that we are misrepresenting the facts to in duce the people to sign the remon strance. Now I can only speak for myself and will say it is not from a selfish motive. Neither am I misrep resenting the matter to induce the people to sign. I have said nothing but what I know, and absolutely be lieve to be true. Only one person from Molalla sign ed my remonstrance, and I will say I have only asked three persons trom Molalla so far. I met them in Oregon City and all three signed the remonstrance. 1 heard D. L. Trul linger ask one man from Molalla to sign and he refused, but intimated tney could get along very well with out the bridge. I feel satisfied that if I were to go over in the Molalla territory to solicit names against the bridge I could muster as many names against the bridge as they have in favor of it. Now if if the Molalla people will petition the court to irive them one- half the cost of said bridge on their roads you will hear no kick from me and this would be a neat sum of money too and they could use it to good advantage and benefit more peo ple. .. I have 'the best of reasons for be lieving that the site chosen for this bridge is not a" good one . The river is even now apparently changing its course. Formerly it was farther east and seems to be shifting west. The people have had one experience near ths same place on the river, where the river changed its course and left th bridge. Now we cannot afford to build expensive bridges in such dan gerous places, besides the difference in the distance from Meadowbrook to Molalla and Meadowbrok to Liberal is so little it will not justify such an exnensive bridge. The time to kick against high taxes and money waste is before it takes place. If we go and dump big sums of money in places to especially benefit certain people financially and so use up our road fund we must not find fault afterwards. If the court after thorough investigation and on the ad vice of its engineer, desides to build the bridge, well and good. I believe the court is honest in its intentions, bu1; surely they ought to thoroughly investigate the conditions before de ciding on such expensive matters. Usually the mistakes are made by woing ahead too fast. In small mat ters we can stand for mistakes but the amount this bridge will cost will improve several miles of road. One third of the money would build a first class road down Milk Creek; a road which the Meadowbrook and Colton neople would travel very often even if the bridge were built. Let us be fair and get at the merits of the case. Robt. Schuebel. For County Treasurer Vote for James F. Nelson for County Treasurer.

JOHN SCHULDT John Schuldt, one of the well known residents of Oregon City, died at the family residence on Seventh and Jefferson Street Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock ,after an illness of stomach trouble of several months' duration. Mr. Schuldt, who was familiarly known as "Daddy," had a host of friends among the old and young, and had a pleasant word for all. He was born in Germany 75- years ago, coming to America when a young man. For the past 30 years he has made Oregon his home, residing for some time at Corvallis before mov ing to this city several years ago. Deceased is survived by his 'wife, of Oregon City; a daughter, Mrs. Le na Boesenweiler, and Charles Schuldt both of Chicago, Illinois; a step daughter, Mrs. C. A.

Here is one way: take the can of a low priced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label. The law requires that if the powder contains alum that fact must be there stated. If you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sul phate of aluminum, you have found an alum baking powdei There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only; that assures you a cream of tartar powder, and the purest and most healthful baking powder beyond question.

Experts declare that . the reason stomach disorders are so common In this country Is due to hasty and care lesB habits of eating. Stomach troubles and run-down conditions usually go together. John W. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio, says: "I bad a bad stomach trouble for years, and became so weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was poor, and It seemed impossible to get any relief. Since taking 'Vinol I find a remarkable Im provement in my health, my digestion Is much stronger, and I have gained In weight I would not be without Vinol." Vlnol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vlnol Is easily assimilated by the weakest Btomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the un derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.
