This continual hounding of Bryan
by the big newspapers is more than
a coincidence, it looks 'ike conspire
cy. It looks like an agreement
whereby every organ of big business
shall persistently criticize and op
pose his every move to discredit him.
A bill has been introduced in con
gress aimed personally at Secretary
.. Bryan, making it a crime for a cab
inet officer to lecture for pay. Why
a cabinet officer? Why not include
senators, congressmen, governors
in fact till public officials?
It looks as if peace was going to
be worked out for Mexico regardless
of every effort of the interests to
bring about war. A Mexican war of
conquest would surely boom prices

mi cost oi taxation and human lite,
BARKING.
And what was all that balloorf bus
mesa for, anyhow? What end would
have been served, what accomplish
ed, if the flights had been "success
ful?" Four of them startel out of
.Portland for nowhere, no aim, no
notning. it just served newspaper
material. That's an.
A local attorney recently made the
remark that John Stark was to the
Courier what Roosevelt was to the
Outlook. As we think it over we con
clude the comDarison is not true
Newspapers and individuals jump on
to ana criticize almost each one of
Koosevelt s dollar words, while noin
ever go up against Stark of Maple
ijane.
Years ago the gullible people of
uregon voted and paid in taxes hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for a
free locks canal up the falls here,
And it seems mighty strange that
this matter could be held up all
these years and the taxpayers of this
state deprived of the monev .the in
terest on it, and the open free river
ior which they furnished the money.
Some power should smoke out the
interests that are holding up this
project and allowing the Southern
Pacific to have a monopoly of ship
ments up the valley. The' people
are more than mutts to let this be
continually slid over on them.
Give Roosevelt time and he
may find a way to cement the
Progressive and Republican par
ties so closely that. there will be
no prying apart, but his plans
may sadden a few Presidential
aspirants, who care more for
self aggrandizement than the
good or success of their party.
Woodburn IndeDendent.
Give Roosevelt time and he'll find
a way to keep the party so badly
ripped up that it will never come in
to power again. The "old line" wing
of the party can no more change its
stana-pat principals than a leopard
can its spots, and without the old
guard support the Republican party
cannot win.
The Oregonlan is horrified that "a
candidate for governor" greatly ex
ceeded in his expenditures in the pri
mary campaign the amount of mon
ey allowed him under the corrupt
practices act. If the Oregonian has
any evidence that any candidate for
omce spent more in his campaign
than the amount permitted by the
corrupt practices act, it is the duty
iu iimi, great compendium or wis
dom to turn this evidence over to the
district attorney, and to demand that
the candidate be prosecuted. The
corrupt practices act was made a law
to be enforced, and if the Oregonian
thinks it is being constantly and
recklessly violated, and has evidence
or sucti violation, its duty is plain.
This should be a clear case of put
up ur snus up.
The Enterprise had an editorial
Sunday opposing the corrupt prae
tice act.
It opposed it because W.. S. U'Ren
was one of the framers of the law
not because of the law.
It argues that the law expresses
the heiirht of folly, because a candi
date for governor (name not printed)
evaded it by having a Portland man
(name not given) spend money
enough to "bring the total hundreds
of dollars above the prescribed limit."
And because a way has been found
to evade a law, the Enterprise would
have the law repealed, would let the
bars down entirely to buvine office.
and wouW ridicule the man who drew
the law to stop the marketinir of pub
lic office.
Now let us take the ground, just
for argument, that the Enterprise ed
itor is against corruption in any
form, from holding up of a gas fran
chise to holding up a United States
senator.
(This may seem a strange com
parison, but we assure you the as
umption is just to base an argument
on and is not to be taken literally.)
Now being opposed to graft and
corruption, naturally it would sus
tain any movement or any law that
would minimize these; that would
put the fear of the law's penalty in
any candidate's heart, and make him
think twice before he violated it, and
while some tricky candidates might
be able to "get by" the law's intent,
yet many others would, as they do,
literally observe it.
Would not the newspaper that is
against corruption sustain the law as
far aa it goes, and urge that the next
legislature tighten up any weak spots
by amendments?
Would not a newspaper that stood
for honest elections and for honesty
of candidates, instead of keeping
hushed up the ' candidate for the
highest office in the state who was
permitting the corrupt practice act to
be evaded in his behalf would not
the newspaper who would stop
the buying of nominations, have
printed the name of this candidate in
black letters and held him up to the
scorn of the people of Oregon, instead
of ridiculing the man who framed the
law to stop the buying of nomina
tions ?
There is hardlv a law on the stat
ute books of Oregon that cannot be
evaded.
According to the Enterprise ar
guments they should be repealed as
fast as someone evades them, the
evader hould be protected and the
framer of the law hold up as an ex
ample of folly.
There were days when United
States senatorships were auctioned
off at Salem. The Enterprise would
like to return to the "good old days,

Hum! Rather loose reasrminir.
a commission takes in more than it
pays out, it is a needed commission,
regardless of what the duties or how
much the expense. However, we
thoroughly agree with tho Imlepen-
uem mat state lire and life insur
ance would be a splendid asset to
Oregon, perhaps not in the lowering
of stato taxes, but in greatly lower
ing the assessments that almost
every home pnys to big companies
in the way of excessive premiums.
What does Oregon owe to the east
that it should sond out a stream of
gold every year for insurance that
the state could j ist as well provide at
cost to its citizens?
Representative Hawley was
renominated by a great vote in
the Republican primary; and he
will of course be elected in No
vember over all competitors by
a heavy plurality. There is no
doubt about it, and no informed
person will suggest that there
can be. The people of the First
District have confidence in Mr.
Hawloy, and he has the Repub
lican nomination in a Republi
can your, it is an invincible
combination. Oregonian.
No doubt if Mr. Hawley had been
consulted, he would not have had the
above printed in the Oregonian, in
this positive way, on the reasoning
that what that paper stands for, the
masses reject and that its positive
assurance seldom make good.
Supporting Hawley on the argu
ment that "he hns the Republican
nomination in a Republican year" is
pretty work.
Why doesn't it take his RECORD
in Congress, his votes on roll callsJ
from Joe Cannon s time down to his
vote to retain the 20-cent mileage
irraft. nrcsent them to the people
and ask them to leturn him on this
record.
The Oiviroman dares not publish
this record and ask support on it.
It's suport will be "ho will of couise
be elected in November;" "there is no
doubt about it;" "it is an invincible
combination." etc.
The sums are that Mr. Hawley
will NOT be elected in November, or
come anywhere near it.
One of our "constant readers" or
mavbe it was Jro Bono Publico ask
! ed us the other day if we were go
ing to have some remarks on bal
loons in this week's Courier. He
said all the other papers had express
ed comments as to ballooning. We
told him that, such being the case,
we would be glad to get into line and
say something about balloons too. So
here goes.
The other papers, and the Asso
ciated Press and also the United
Press, have had much to say about
the terrible wilderness in which the
unfortunate balloonists lighted. These
reports have gone back east, and
most of them have mentioned that
these aeronauts have had terrible
times right close to Oregon City,
Beaver Creek or other centers of civ
ilization. They landed in "wild
country," it was said, and searching
parties started to rescue them.
But none of these papers have ex
plained in their reports that the men
who had such terrible adventures
came largely from the prairie
states, where trees are stunted and
rare, and where a group fo five trees
standing in a bunch is referred to as
a forest. It is perhaps not to be
wondered at, then, that when one ox
these eastern tenderfoots flopped
down into some second growth tim
ber he got scared and thought he was
lost in the forest primeval. Probably
if they had come down in the middle
of Gladstone park, where the Chau
tauquas are held, he would have been
equally terrified. One of these
aeronauts even marvelled when his
balloon caueht on the limbs of a mod
erate sized fir, and hung suspended
100 feet from the ground. Probably
if this balloonist had seen his gasbag
hooked on a real tree he would have
Hied nf astonishment.
It is also remarkable and worthy
of comment that each balloon so far
has been salvaged by an automobile,
Autos are not naturally wilderness-
roaming beasts they need roads and
clearings in which to maneuver. And
any place that could furnish running
space for a benzine buggy can hardly
be called a wilderess. It may seem
to an eastern air pilot but your true
Westerner has to laugh when he
reads about it.- Just suppose those
aeronauts had dropped down in the
Olympic mountains in Washington,
wVmt-fi there is a real wilderness
Probably they would not have had at
command sufficient English words to
tell about it. ,
We trust these remarks on bal
loons we have met and heard about
will saitsfv our "constant reader."
They are the kindest things we can
say regarding the gentlemen who had
such "terruic experiences aucn a
short distance from Main street. We
hope their next experiences will be
more to their liking, and will not be
the cause of having the Willamette

SAME OLD TACTICS
AT WORK AGAIN
The Jefferson Review, Democratic,
sizes up the two party candidates for
governor in this cold, cruel way:
We lost out on Bennett, much
to our regret, and we believe
that thereby the Democrats lost
the governor of Oregon, for
Bennett would have been elected.
It is our opinion that both the
Democrats and Republicans
nominated their weakest candi
date for governor. Smith seems
to know nothing more than to
promise to carry out the poli
cies of West. Withycombe is
foreign born and has been hang
ing onto the public crib ever
since he took out his naturaliza
tion papers so that Gov. Pen
noyer could make him boss hoss
physician of Oregon. Neither of
them are worth the trouble of
scratching the other, one for.
Dissatisfaction is freely ex
pressed by members of both
parties.
The Purpose is to put the Black
Horse Cavalry Back in Control
Editor Courier:
I read with much satisfaction and
with profound appreciation the Hon
W. A. Miller's excellent and com
pletely unanswerable reply to Moore's
eulogy on Republicanism in a recent
issue of the Journal. Miller certainly
carries too many guns for a man of
tne mental calibre of Moores.
It is unconceivable how the aver
age man with a livelihood to make
and taxes to pay of an exhorbitant
nature, will deliberately go up to
the polls and vote the Republican
ticket.
One of the most ridiculous siehts
the writer ever saw was a poor
rancher taxed way beyond the limit
going up to the polls and voting for
the G. 0. P. with hardlv enoueh
clothes' on him to wad a gun.
It is quite natural for Moores, with
his great wealth and Pittock of the
Oregonian to be first class stand pat
ters because they want to continue
the grab game that has been so high
ly beneficial to them. All of the
great captains of predatory wealth
like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and the
Morgan outfit, etc, all are Republi
cans and contribute liberally to the
Republican campaign funds.
ford McCauley, the great t,nglisn
writer, once said "If large pecunary
interests are at stake so well estab
lished and so generally accepted a
principle as the law of gravitation
would be denied and would be stren
uously denied,"
This accounts for the attempted
rallying of the Republican forces in
the state and elsewhere this year.
They want to continue to pile up
their dirty dollars that they are rob
bing the people about high tariff
to protect American workingmen
when every emmigiant ship is load
ed with the cheap labor of Europe
that they are rushing to their mines
and factories. Everywhere they are
pursuing their old discredited party
hacks to the front like Penrose of
Pennsylvania; Cannon of Illinois and
Fordker of Ohio, expecting the fool
ish voters to put them in office again.
It is unthinkable that the Ameri
can voter with all of his opportuni
ties for securing information in these
subjects will reinstate these old
frauds notoriously so, in office again.
Thinking people are diposed to give
Wilson a complete try-out and then
if he fails they will in all probability
turn to the Socialists, but never again
will the old "standpatters" be allow
ed to rule and rjuin the country.
With the biggest crop known in
the history of the country it is easy
to predict the oncoming of a great
wave of prosperity and the complete
overthrow of the Black Horse Caval
ry, Parnell Averill,
per last week. However, all things
considered, I am glad that Dr. Milli
ken was moved to write as he did,
for I know that his statement of a
"few articles of his creed" will give
new cheer and hope to quite a number
of us who have been hoping that
some day there would come to us a
broad-minded, honest, modern and
truly Christian minister. Because of
the outline of his creed that Dr. Mill
iken has given us, I bear him no mal
ice for the gentle implication in his
opening paragraph that I am a "era- J
loot."

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?
When the aporonrintinn fur
public elevator was submitted to the
people a year and a half ago, the
qualifications for a voter were that
ne nad lived six months in the state
and 30 days in the election district.
He did not have to own a dollar's
worth of property or pay a cent of
luxes to vote taxes - onto property
owners.
At the annual school election,
where no appropriation was involved,
where it was simnlv an ilrctinn tn
choose a director to hire teachers and
direct the schools, no one could vote
wno was not the owner of property
that was assessed and had paid taxes
on the last assessment rolls.
The Courier knows an instance
where a man who had six children
of school age, who has been paying
for a home on a contract for years,
but who has not yet paid enough to
get his deed, this man nor his wife
voted Monday.
The Courier knows of another man
almost a transient, unmarried, who
owns a share of stock worth $25, who
was a full quallified voter Monday,
and who voted.
Why a person who doesn't own a
cent's worth of property is a quali
fied voter on a bonding proposition
in Oregon City, and why a woman
who has a half dozen school children,
is not entitled to elect a director over
those children, is one of those rank
injustices that so often hide behind
that little three-letter word law.
fool there was and he flung a
match
Even as vou and I.
Carlessly down on a sun-dried patch
Giving no heed that a tire mignt
catch
And spread to the timber with quick
dispatch,
Even as you and I.
The fool returned on his way and
found
Even as vou and I.
Ashes and embers all over the ground
And far in the distance with horrible
sound.
The fire consuming the timber round,
Started when he went by.
The fool passed on with a wondering
look,
Even as you and I,
He couldn't eplain the fire that took,
The forest away, and dried the brook,
And left the region a place forsook;
He was a fool that s why.
A. J. Jackson in Seattle Sun.
One of these days I am going to
shake Dr. Milliken by the hand and
congratulate him upon the breadth of
his thought, and I trust that the
weekly messages he delivers to his
congregation are as inspiring to them
as his statement of creed was to me.
So much for that part of our "clash
of opinions" that related to what we
Hnth agree is TRUE CHRISTIAN
ITY.
But inasmuch as Dr. Milliken has
also seen fit to intimate that my
knowledge of science and other things
is about what might be expected
from a "galoot," may I be permitted
a tew more words .' As to Jonah and
the "big fish," for instance. I am not
student of the Bible. My impres
sion that it was a whale that had the
episode with Jonah was gained from
the remarks of average ministers and
priests on the subject, and I supposed
they knew whereof they spoke. And
I recall having heard no less distin
guished a preacher than Dr. Tal-
madge, of the old Brooklyn Taber-J
nacle, declare that the parable of
Jonah and the whale must be taken
figuratively." Also I once read a
sermon or essay of Ur. Lyman Ab
bott's, in which the inability of
whales to swallow men was cited as
proof positive that no whale ever
J swallowed Jonah. Dr. Milliken quotes
! font TTeortu- Rnllon no ninnrf ni ti
whale that had swallowed a giant
squid. I do not doubt it. But Capt.
Bullen is hardly what I should tie
willing to accept as a scientific au
thority. If Dr. Milliken will go to
the library and consult some standard
work on mammalia, he will find that
the whale's throat is so constituted
that it cannot swallow creatures that
have large and rigid bones men, or
even the ox of which the good pastor
speafts. A giant squid is not a crea
ture of bones, instead it is mainly
cartiledge and muscle.
That is about all, thank you. I
have no desire to enter into a contro
versy pn religion with anyone, and
for this reason I have found it easy
to destroy the faith of others in
their beliefs, but extremely difficult
to give them a belief that will satis
fy them. I have found for myself a
religious standard and creed that sat
isfies me, even as Dr. Milliken has
found his; but being satisfied myself,
I know better than to think' I can
satisfy others with the same. So I
try to avoid discussions save when
some person like Mr. Roosevelt smug
ly lays down the law of Mrs. Orundv
for me. Then I may, without taking
second thought make some comment.
Thanking you for the space you have
given me, and for the opportunity you
nave attorded Dr. Milliken to give to
your readers his most excellent state
ment of his own broad creed, I beg
leave to again subscribe myseii,

$13,000 Job on Pudding River Trestle
is Already Condemned
Road Engineer Hobson, of Clack
amas County, was here last week and
inspected the concrete work of the
Pudding River trestle on the Clacka
mas county side. He found that it
had settled and cracked, and instruct
ed road supervisor Oirlesbv to con
demn it and put up a sign, "Unsafe
Drive Slowly." This is the concrete
work that cost Clackamas County
$13,000 not many months atro. The
engineer did not state whether the
cause of the settling was due to de
tective work or not, but the damage
is said to be so serious that the work
will have to be entirely replaced.
This may be a specimen of the public
work which is done that way because
it is public work. It is a well known
fact that much public work of this
nature is never done in the manner
that similar work is done for individ
uals. County work is often accc
without adequate inspection or with
no inspection. Work is paid for that
is never done. The "recall people"
declared lase year the Pudding River

that were true it is evident the county
paid an exhorbitant price, and if all

In Dunn's Review of May 9, on
page zt, i nna this item under the
head of "Lessing Mill Output." Man
ufacturers in textile mills are closing
down machinery as fast as orders are
run out and there is a steady de
crease in the output of cloths and
made-up goods. Southern yarn spin
ners have voted to curtail production
a third, between May 1 and Septem
ber 1, and several large worsted yarn
spinners are shutting down machin
ery because prices are too low to show
a profit."
Perhaps you have overlooked this
item so I just call your attention to
the above because Dunn's Review is
a reliable authority, is neither "radi
cal" nor socialist paper, and no doubt
you, like myself, go to it for infor
mation on trade matters. Better read
the quotation again, it is well worth
the time.
Under our economic system indus
try is carried on for profit, one of the
three prime methods of exploitation,
the other two are interest and rent,
oi wmcn observations were had in
these columns recently. It will be
noted that the mill owners shut down
the plants because the profit was not
to their liking. By this act numerous
persons who depend for their means
of living upon the operation of the
plants must go on short rations, 'or
perhaps without the absolute neces
sities of life a there is no profit in it
for the mil lowner. Quite a contrast
is seen in this case to the act of the
workers shutting down the plant be
cause the income failed to satisfy
them. Perhaps vou know what would
have happened in that case, all you
need to do is to learn the probable
result is to read what happened in
Colorado, Michigan and West Virgin
ia in recent times. The workers
were shot, their wives and children
outraged and killed, and in one case,
cremated with StanHarH Oil nil nnHor
the folds of Old Glory, and then that
ouncn ot political bums make a loud
noise thru the jiniro newspapers about
outrages in Mexico. Note this, many
papers are telling you about the great
jiuspmiy, tne trade and hnancial
journalls tell a different story. These
papers to which we are aaccustomed
to look to for information nsnnllw
don't print such items as this. Busi
ness failures for April show indebted
ness of nearly twenty-one million.
Some prosperity that!
All industry is carried on primar
ily for profit, that is, the object of the
manufacturer or transportation ag
encies operate for profit only. There
fore it must follow that the workers
who are engaged in industrial pur
suits cannot buy the full amount that
they produce, resulting in the im
poverishment of the workers and cur
tailment of production which again
further impoverishes the worker. It
acts as an endless chain and increas
ingly grinds out poverity. Not long
Industry can be carried on without
profit, just for service, for use of
mankind, but not under capitalistic
ideals. The rules of production and
distribution must be changed so that
the producer will receive the full so
cial value of his product; but that is
only possible under the theory of co
operation. The competitive system is
too injurious, the heroism of needless
misery of the useful workers and it
is up to us to overthrow the system.
For thes ake of making a profit, that
is, getting something for Viothing,
persons engaged in commercial" lines
must stoop to any crime; engage in
business ventures and adopt methods
revolting to their sense of justice or
be trampled under foot, commercially
speaking, in the mad panic after gain.
There is often a mibtaken idea
in regard to what constitutes profit
in commercial lines; the merchant
otten comes in bad in the estimation
of people when what seems profit is
swallowed up by interest, or rent,
or both interest and rent, which must
bo added to all business transactions
and charged finally to the ultimate
consumer, interest is by far the
greatest method of exploitation from
which we suffer, and will so continue
until people will get wise to the gam.
of getting something for nothing.
When it is once understood that
tne talcing from the products of la
Dor without rendering a just equiva
lent is wrong, tne economic system
will meet the revolution which has
come over the political system in part
of the world. It will be owned by all
the people. Let me make a para
phrase, until then will abide interest,
rent and profit, these three, but the
worst of these is interest.
