In looking over the newspapers
farm magazines and other periodicals
that discuss the present deplorable
conditions of agriculture, there has
not been one per ecnt of them that
has proposed a remedy that would
prevent the farmer from being the
servant of a lot of people who live
luxuriously in a life of ease without
performing a single act beneficial to
society in general. What we want Is
a remedy that will make a farmer in
dependent according to his ability.
Scientific farming may be fine
reading, but the food and clothes are
produced by just common farmers
who are taxed to pay the salaries of
our scientific farmers.

TO REV. MILLIKEN
G. A.
Henri Asks Questions Regard-
. ing his Recent Letter
Oregon City, June 20, 1914.
Editor Courier;
I have read a few leters from Rev.
Milliken published in your paper.
Will you kindly permit me to address
Mr. Milliken as follows?
Which is the greater, your creed
or science? What would your creed
have been without any scientific
knowledge? Is not scientific know
ledge greater than Bible study. If
it not so, had you no scientific know
ledge, you would have no creed nor
conscience, no religion nor faith. You
would be like a brute . Is it not
science that gives you your spiritual
life? Does not science teach you
what is good or evil better than the
Bible teaches?
Then why go to a book, that was
written by a people that lived in
murderous ignorance nearly two
thousand years ago. A book you
have to take to science to prove it is
true. A book you have to take to
science to find out what it means.
Why not then go to that wonder
ful science to scientific knowledge at
the first place.
Scientific knowledge gave us the
Bible and scientific knowledge will
tell us what it is, the same as scientif
ic knowledge gave us the sun and has
explained what it is. Man looked
upon the sun and thought: "What
can it be?" A god was the first thot
but the restless science made it clear
that it was no god. It is only a
globe of fire.
Then science gave man the Bible.
Man thought what can it be. "A
holy book." But I dare to say that
science will make it clear to all some
day what the Bible is.
I also dare to say that if there is
I also dare to say that if there is
a hereafter, science will prove it to
us someday. But the Bible never will
as the Bible's time is past. But
science will never pass away as long
as man can think.
Now then, what did Christ teach
A PAIR OF BOUQUETS
Rev. Milliken Presents them to Mrs.
Mumpower andJT. LordC.
Editor Courier;
In last week's edition of the Cour
ier Mr. T. Lord C's letter shows him
to be the broad and fair-minded man
I thought him. I was under the im
pression that his former letter did
not do him full justice, hence I took
the liberty of prodding him up a
little bit, and he has fully risen to
the level of my expectation.
My friend T. Lord C. is typical of
a large class of men of broad intel
ligence who have revolted against
the bondage of credal and ecclesias
tical forms which were made by men
of a less enlightened age. They have
no quarrel with Christ, nor really
with the Bible. They do refuse, tho,
to be enslaved- by thoughts about the
Bible held by men of less favroed cen
turies. So do most of the religious
leaders of to-day. Scientific and
philosophic thought has advanced
far within the last century. So has
knowledge of the ancient Greek and
Hebrew languages, and also of the
fclk-life of the far off Biblical days.
The pick and the shovel of Oriental
excavator have rehabilitated Babylon
and Persia, Egypt and Palestine, un
til the scholar of to-day is familiar
with their manners and customs and
modes of thought. Hence we are bet
ter equipped to interpret the Scrip
tures than was the most favored age
of the past. The only wonder is that
we have any faith left alive at all un
der the accretions of contradictory
theologies and credal mistakes that
we have fallen heir to from the ages.
The cry of to-day is: "Back to the
living Christ and the Bible." Let us
go to the source ourselves, and
therefrom make our own creeds. Why
should we be shackled by the theology
of Origen and the ecclesiasticism of
Augustine? We have learned that
each man's creed bears the ear-marks
of his own limitations in place of the
stamp of infallibility, hence, as T.
Lord C. truthfully remarks, we are
getting less anxious to press them
upon others. God has spoken of old:
let each stop' theorizing and endeavor
to learn His will. A living Christ
who saves, and not a mediaval creed
which enslaves, is what the intelll-

MAN-OUT-OF-A-JOB
A Lamentation and Comments Over
His Deplorable State
"Any man can get a job if he is
not too lazy too work." This is what
the fat-heads have been telling us.
I have heard it a thousand times
The worst thing about it is that it
is true.
It is eouallv true that any Dem
ocrat can get an office if he is not
too lazy to work for it . If he will
camp at the White House door anJ
sit and sit until his sitter gets sore
if he has a pull strong enough and
stays with it long enough, he can get
an office.
But what good is it? He is only
taking it away from a long list of
other brother Democrats, just as pa
triotic as himself, iust as highly qual
ified and iust as badly in need of it,
It is just like a man rowing off in 4
life-boat and leaving a lot of others
to perish.
In Kreb's hop-yard, in the height
of Republican prosperity, I have seen
a mob of men fight for hop sacks.
A hundred yards off I could hear the
thumps. In all civilized countries
the workers fight for jobs as dog:
fight for bones.
I suppose there are four or five
millions of people out of work in
this country now. And at the same
time everv farmer is swamped with
work, forty jobs jumping at him at
once. Weeds overgrowing tne gar
den, berries going to loss, brush in
fence rows, and instead of being able
to hire anvbodv to help him, he has
to go to work on the road and leave
his own work undone in order to gel
a few coins engraved with the ."mark
of the beast."
It is just' as humiliating to beg for
work as it is to beg lor a nana-out.
It is entirely an artificial condition
created bv capitalist law. There is
work for ten times the present popu
lat.inn. but capitalist law Drohibits the
people from using the resources of
nature and employing themselves and
still we have people clamoring for
more prohibition, and more poverty,
Also more expense and taxes to en
force more crazy laws.
There is a cause of course not a
reason, but the absence of the vast
Mexico has been a republic for
many years and yet the farmers there
have been reduced to peons or slaves I
i I !n-i i .1 ...
aim nave reuenea against a iana mo
nopoly. They want homes of their
own with free schools, and the people
ot the United btates are in sympathy
with the rebels. The United States
has been a republic for many years
and has built up an aristocracy of
minionairs who have invested heavily
in Mexico and are very anxious that
this country pick a quarrel with
Mexico for an excuse to continue their
rule and robbery. We have just wit
nessed in Colorado and other staes
mucht evidence that his country is
forcing a crisis much similar to
Mexico. Labor and capital are at war
now and this country is a mass of
discontented working people and i
hord of unscrupulous millionaii
criminals with their own hired as
sassins murdering women and child
ren.
The American farmer1 sees "his
country governed by politicians . and
big business grafters with disclosures
every day of grand larceny in hierh
finances and feels his produce and
holdings slipping awav from him
by the schemery of scheming: lawyers
and courts with all the legislation
going to those already vested with
special privilege of takinir what the
farmer produces. The serious ques
tion comes home to every one of us.
Is there no other wav to secure
justice to those who by the sweat of
their brow sustains humanity in life
but that awful curse of might that
lays waste to decades of millions past
and present I is this nation doomed
to go through those awful pains
again to be born of justice ? How far
are we too from what causes some
strong men to cover their eyes and
shudder? Are we too to drink of this
bitter cup?
Portland papers are tolling of the
wonderful benefits of thepublic mar
kets recently established in that city
of roses, and if it is all true Oregon
city will imitate tho metropolis for
fashion's sake. It seems strange that
cities composed of merchants would
allow the comsumer- to deal direct
with he fanner without a rakeoff
somewhere, and we predict some or
dinance rule or regulation will force
the payment of a tax license inspector
or something that will blot it out ere
long.
The city man who is disgusted
with his business reads how fortunes
are made growing mushrooms, squabs
and ginseng. Ho longs for freedom
and the pure country air. lie studios
about chickens, bees, fruit and vegee
tables and imagines the farmer is
rolling in wealth, case und luxury.
It is common knowledge among busi
ness men that it is only the large
farms equipped with the best mach
inery and operated on the most eco
nomical lines that pay a percent on
the investment Tho fault lies in the
system of marketing. When farmers
attend a school or road meeting they
find the law governing those meet
ings is a mass of contradictions that
lawyers or judges cannot unravel,
and under these conditions we are
told that anyone who disobeys the
law is a criminal. We read in the in
vestigations by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the bankers
rob the railroads and use the money
to bribe the schools, pulpit and press
Even the legislators who make the
law were bribed. We farmers are
fools and criminals too to obey an act
of bribery and called anarchists if we

where docs the prosperity for the far

more for harvest, more wages for
help, more for twine, more for pro
visions, more for threshing, hauling

around, and then receive about one-
third less because he has more of it.
Now, here is where the nrosneritv
for the buyer comes in. the buyer
uoes not take one-third less profit be
cause there is more to buv. The mid

raiiroaa companies do not take one
third less because there is more to

Gentlemen; We have used your Bliz
zard ensilage cutter the past season and
find them a very satisfactory machine
in every way. We put up over 600 tons
of corn and had no trouble cutting from
50 to 55 tons per day and elevating it
to a height of 32 feet, using an L-15 ma
chine. We consider them the best ma
chine made for the purpose. We also
used it to cut alfalfa and clover hay
fed to sheep and cattle at our yards this
Winter, and it handled the work in good
shape.

They cost nearly as much in. the beginning and far
more in the long run, or short run, either, for that
matter. The Blizzard is a practical machine. It com
bines knives, fan and fly wheel instead of using these
as separate units, thereby saving power
and making a more compact cutter. It
elevates without fail into the tallest silo.
It cuts the material with a sheer cut,

To the Knockers
The farmers in Dist. No. 3. want
ed better roads. They didn't sit
down and formulate a now scheme
of county government, but they got
teams, shovels and men, all donated,
and went to work.
But it seems that, a certain propor
tion of the residents would not con
tribute shovels, teams or labor, but
stood aloof and criticised, and one of
the volunteers, John Donley of Clack
amas, sends in the following little
jingle:
Here's to the Knockers,
They knock and they knock,
While we haul gravel
And loads of crushed rock
To build us a road
Not the best under the sun,
But one that's far better
Than the old muddy one.

The writer is not of a peculiar
type because he places the emphasis
upon the Word, the living Christ, and
the Life rather than upon the creed.
I think that all my brethren in the
city stand with me in this. Were
men of T. Lord C's broadmindedness
better acquainted with the modern
ministers, and the modern ministers
with men of T. Lord C's type it would
be better for both; and probably both
Would be surprised equally. We all,
hold that religion is not tradition but
life. Religion is not churchly rite,
nor formal worship but the soul's re
lation to God the real character of
the man himself. The reason so
many fail to see this is because a
host of so-called Christians mistake
church-membership for Christianity,
and live like their fellows who make
no profession at all. Unless one
lives the Christ-life among men his
membership in a church deceives no
mortal, and certainly does not fool
God.
Let me add a word to the Jonah
discussion. Too many Encyclopaedic
writers, like the famous Heidelberg
professor, evolve their whales out of
their own inner self-consciousness;
while Capt. Bullen was in the whal
ing business and had the practical
experience. In the Gospels the Re
vised Version uses the term "fish,"
though, and the name "whale" does
not occur in the Book of Jonah.
I wish also to endorse a suggestion
of Mrs. Mumpower. I read whatever
she writes with interest, for she al
ways has something good to say. She
advocates taxation of church proper
ty. I am strongly in favor of such
action. The day is coming as sure
as fate when no property will be ex
empt from taxation except the pub
lic school, the public cemetery, and
such state and county buildings as
the court house and the state capital.
All property held by churches, pri
vate schools, etc., will be taxed, as
they ought to be. The Americaa
people have forever divorced the
Church and the State, and every or
ganization without sufficient vitality
to live unless it is supported out of
the public treasury deserves to die.

Former Pastor Made Dean
At the recent meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Pacific Univer
sity, Professor William Martin Proc
tor, who was pastor of the Congrega
tional Church in Oregon City in 1910,
was elected Dean of the Faculty of
that institution. Professor Proctor
is a graduate of Whitman College in
the class of 1901, and of Chicago
Theological Seminary in the class of
1904. As Dean, Prof. Proctor will
have charge of the Extension work
of the University in addition to con
tinuing as head of the Department
of Education. The College has 'made
remarkable progress during the past
year under the leadership of Presi
dent C. J. Bushnell, who has visited
every part of the northwest in the in
terest of a larger student body. New
departments of business with F. N.
Harnoun, formerly one of the direc
tors of the Portland Business Col
lege, and of Home Administration
and Domestic Science with Miss Ber
tha Jennings in charge, have been
established. The appointment of a
dean to have charge of local admin
istrative matters in the absence of
the president, was made necessary
by the coming campaign for endow
ment to meet the offer of James J.
Hill, who is to give 440,000 on the
condition that the college raise ijSKiO
000 additional by June 30, 191C. The
fact of Prof. Proctor's promotion to
the deanship will be of interest to
his many friends in Oregon City.

HOW WO
AVOID
OPERATION
By Taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound.
Cleveland, Ohio "My left side
pained me so for several years that I
expected to nave to
undergo an opera
tion, but the first
bottle I took of
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com
pound relieved me of
the pains in my side
and I continued its
use until I became
regular and free
from pains. I had
asked several doc
tors if there was anything I could
take to help me and they said there
was nothing that they knew of. I am
thankful for such a good medicine and
will always give it the highest praise."
Mrs. C. H. Griffith, 7305 Madison
Ave., Cleveland, Ohio.
Hanover, Pa. "I suffered from fe
male trouble and the pains were so bad
at times that I could not sit down. The
doctor advised a severe operation but
my husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I experienced
great relief in a short time. Now I feel
like a new person and can do a hard
day's work and not mind it What joy
and happiness it is to be well once more.
I am always ready and willing to speak
a good word for the Compound. "Mrs.
Ada Wilt, 496 Stock St., Hanover, Pa.
