JONES WRITES
ABOUT SYMBOLS
Shakespeare Plays ae also Allegori
cal Pictures of Real Life in World
How the superlatively brilliant
Shakespeare could have been born of
a race of pudding heads has been a
perpetual puzzle." This is quoted
from your' comment on my essay on
symbolism. Now neither the Bull nor
Lion symbol applies at all to Shakes
peare, who. was a follower of the
Muses. The Muses themselves be
ing also symbols or personifications
of certain phases of intellectual ac
tivity. There is no positive- proof that
Shakespeare ever composed the su
perlatively brilliant plays credited to
him. The theory that they were
written by Lord Bacon appears to me
more probaMe. Take the play of
Hamlet, prince of Denmark. Hamlet
was by right King of Denmark, but
was practically a prisoner in his own
palace in the power of his uncle who
by plots and murder most foul had
succeeded in making himself king.
Hamlet had no absolute proof of his
uncle's guilt. He had only the evi
dence of a ghost, which would not be
admissable in any court of law. For
him to offer such prooof s would
probably be taken as evidence of in
sanity. So he played insane because
he was in constant danger of being
murdered anyhow, should the king
have any suspicion that the young
prince had any knowledge of his
guilt or any means of making it pub
lic. Then Hamlet composed a play and
hired a troop of strolling actors to
perform it before the king. In this
play the method that the king had
used in murdering Hamlet's lather
was enacted before his eyes. Of
course Hamlet was obliged to conceal
the authorship of the play. For sim
ilar reasons Lord Bacon, or whoever
wrote the plays attributed to Shake
speare, had to conceal his identity.
In these plays the crimes of kings
and noblemen are exposed so bodly,
that Bacon would have been consider
ed a very dangerous person. But
Shakespeare was only an actor, a per
son of no repute in those days. He
was the strolling player who acted
the plays composed by a man higher
up; This accounts for the many
glaring inaccuracies in these cnr.'po
sitions, which would naturally be at
tributed to the ignorance or careless
i css of Shakespeare and thus help
put over the deception.
The king had murdered Hamlet's
father by pouring poison in his ears
while he slept. He had also poured
poison all around in everybody's ears
by circulating false reports of the
occurrence and suppressing the truth
of his own guilt. This is the way of
the world.
This is the method by which the
conspirators who own and govern
this country ' have succeeded in get
ting their position and power. They
have poured poison in the ears of the
people continuously for more" than
half a century through the press
and other agencies of misinformation.
The people have been asleep, lulled
to sleep, chloroformed into a false
sense of security while new liberties
have been gradually passing away.
"Measure for Measure" is another
wonderful play a prophecy fulfilled
in these days just as truly as any of
the prophecies . of the Bible. The
king was gone to a far country. No
one knew where or even knew wheth
er he was alive or not. A gang of
thieves looted the country and de
bauched the inhabitants at their will
and there was no redress. But sud
denly the king appeared to the dis
comfiture of the criminals. He had
been at home all the time in the dis-.
guise of a priest, and had learned all
about the rascality of his subordi
nates; had caught them redhanded in
the act, with the goods on them and
the proofs indisputable. The Bible is
not the only book. The world is a
book with a recording angel in every
nook and corner. All the world's a
stage and all the people in it players,
but some are very bum ones and
those that do the dirtiest work get
very little play or pay as their
share.

THE FOURTH OF JULY
FAR OUT AT SEA
(Continued from Page 1)
cause he thinks that is what a news
paper man wants to know about.
At 4:30 A. M., long before the boat
had come alive, I was walking on
the steerage end and a Kanaka waa
down on the deck scraping off stains
with a knife blade. 1 asked him if
he lived in the islands and he said he
was born there. I told him I was
going to write up the leper peninsu
la of Molakai, and asked if he knew
anything about it.
He told me to sit down until he
came back. When he returned he
said the steward would let him pol
ish the threshold and knob to my
stateroom (for half the tip) and he
could tell me a story newspaper men
did not often get.
He did. It was early in the A. M.,
and he got it by. While he polished
the brass and brought in a fresh pit
cher of water (which the man out
side handed to him) he said that 16
years ago, when he came into Honu
lulu from China, as a sailor, his
arms and legs were broken out and
cracKed open with eczema. And he
had the scars to make the . story
good. The health board examined
mm, pronounced him a leper, and
exiled him to Molakai for life; that
he had a wife and six children in the
island of Maui; that he lived there
for four years, apart from the lepers
and was then released.
And then in fifteen minutes this
sailor told me of some of the awful
conditions of the leper colony (de
tails that made me snudder with hor
ror) and told me that unless 1 want
ed areams to haunt me, to keep away
from the leper end of Molokai.
All of wnich I will know about
later, but 1 asked the steward to
carry out the fruit and water pitch
er, and that night I had nightmares
oi blackmen, raising themselves up
from their sand beds, looking at me
with their lidless, awful eyes, and
calling out "Unclean! Uncleanl
riow much this half breed put it
over on me 1 hope to tell you later on
for 1 am going over to Molokai.
Blowing into the smoking room
one morning, after the seasickness
period, came two Englishmen, or
rather boys. There were a dozen or
two old timers sitting around. The
posing sons of English nobility,
with their plaid caps and conspicious
clothes, lignted their cigarettes, when
one of them posed and got rid of thio.
"1 have two ambitions; one to get
fat, the other bald-headed."
An oldtimer, doubtless sized up
the mama's tourists, and remarked:
"Anybody can get fat eating fish
and poi, but it takes a man with a
nigh forehead to get bald."
The laughter drove the English
men out ot the room, and I never saw
them return.
Fourth of July at sea. I waa
thinking I would find an old newspa
per or two, a magazine, a deck chair
and sit there ana wonder what they
were doing back on land.
But Fourth of July on a Pacific
steamer is just as big a day as in
Bingville on land.
Friday night were the "commence
ment" exercises, and to the shame of
the men, the American girls had to
start it. With- the assistance of the
ship officers they went through the
steamer and held up everybody
hunting them out of their state
rooms and insisting they come down
with at least four bits to "defray ex
penses" and contribute to the pro
gram in the way of some entertain
ment. 1
A bunch of we modest fellows
found refuge in the smoking hall
the ladies wouldn't follow us there.
But the chief steward got at the head
of about twenty-five of them and
they came in.
One by one' they singled us out and
informed us we must do something
for our country sing, dance, whistle,
or jump overboard. A day or two
before I would have welcomed dying
for my country. When the sea sick
ness was epidemic, I had that mar
tyr feeling. But now I was back on
three squares a day, coffee, fruit and
beef tea before breakfast, and want
ed to see Honolulu. So as a last ex
pedient I was booked as the under
taker, to pick up the remains after it
was all over. I was put down on the
card where you find the "Raisins
and Nuts" and overlooked in the
next day's excitement.
The next morning's Wireless News
had the full program and the like of
it was never seen on land. In the af
ternoon absolutely everybody got in
to the game, the officers, tourists,
business men, the ship's doctor, so
ciety women, tiny . tots everybody
forgot he or she ever lived in Chica
go or Seattle, and just went in for a
celebration that couldn't be pulled
off with success anywhere else than
1500 miles from shore.
For an opener was "Are you
There Casey?" Volunteers from the
crowd started it, two ice-cream tour
ists laid down on the mat and fur
nished the most entertainment an
audience ever had. They knew they
were to be made "goats" and were
glad to push on the entertainment.
Each was blindfolded and on his
forehead was tied a square cracker.
They were placed head to head and
each given a roll of newspapers, tight
ly wound with string. The winner
was the one who could break the
cracker on his opponent's head. One
would ask, "Are you there CaBey?"
to get the bearings, and then he
would "swat." And this was kept
up, with side-rollings, squirmings,
dodgings for a half hour, the hard
rolled cubes of papers sounding like
Hans Wagner's three base hits, when
each brought it down with all his
might on where he thought the other !
fellow's head should be. Of all the
funny stunts I ever saw, this one
was the real noise.
The "cockfight" was another that
would send you to your stateroom
laughing. Volunteers were simply
forced into the ring. A circle per
haps a dozen feet in circumference
was drawn on the deck. The two pit
games were first class passengers.
They would sit down, draw up their
knees; clasp their arms over the
knees. A trapeze bar would be
shoved through, then the hands tied,
and you had the most laughable ex
hibition of two men, hobbled, and
each was to try to get his opponent
outside the ring. And there they
would lie, well-dressed business men
or tourists, turned helplessly over on
their sides, the crowd roaring, while
one tried to crowd the other outside
of the chalk circle. You must have
to see it on an ocean deck to half ap
preciate it.
Then came the cigarette race. Four
men lined up at one end of the course
with cigarettes in their teeth; four
All OLD-TII
: EDfrOHL WRITES
Tells What Long Editorial Expe
rience Taught Him and
A Bouquet
Oregon City, Oregon,
July 21, 1914.
Editor Courier:
Dear Brother, I want to congratu
late you on' the kind of newspaper
you are giving the people of Clack
amas county. It is better than the
average a good deal better.
I wish you would publish the fol
lowing "editorial" for the sake of an
old newspaper man who is getting
along toward the end of Life's jour
ney, but who regrets that he must
lay down the pen while so much good
work needs to be done.
Sincerely yours,
S. 0. CRATES.
The most famous story tellers (or
liars if you please) from the most an
cient times down to date from Ho
mer to Jack London, for instance,
would, each and all, have made very
good editors, or preachers. There is
a very close relationship between the
two: both must make great pre
tenses of truthfulness, yet both must
needs be adept at the art of story
telling (or lying if you please) in
order to hold their jobs.
4But preaching is an art of very
ancient origin, while editing is a com
paratively new thing, which explains
why preachers are, as a general rule,
so much the more expert as story
tellers (or liars if you please).
Judging from present indications,
however, it would seem that in time
the preachers may be outclassed by
their rivals. They still have some
what the best of the editor of the
weekly publication, but the editors of
most daily papers are giving the
preachers a very close race for first
honors. Instances in proof of this
contention are coming to our notice
right along.
The great fault with most preach
ers and most editors is that they are
afraid to tell the truth; and dodging
the truth is what gradually develops
the expert story tellert(or liar if you
please). There are mighty few edi
tors who have the courage to tell the
truth just as it really appears to
them, and there are practically no
preachers who will do so. Both say
what they think it is policy to say
what they think people want them to
say. This is a misfortune for hu
manity. The morality of the world
has gotten very badly jumbled be
cause the greatest teachers of all
time have been afraid or ashamed to
tell the plain,, unvarnished truth.
We certainly do not value truth
fulness as highly as we ought Ab
solute truthfulness in any individual
indicates courage of the most sub
lime quality. We doubt very much
if there is a person living who is
brave enough to entirely scorn decep
tion and lying at all times.
The business man who should un
dertake to be absolutely truthful
would be a bankrupt in a month's
time; the preacher who should un
dertake the same would hold his job
not longer than one week at most,
and would never be able to get an
other, and the editor who should un
dertake to print the truth would cer
tainly be lynched within twenty-four
hours.
If you don't believe it takes cour
age to be absolutely truthful, just try
the experiment on yourself for just
one day no matter whether you are
a preacher or an editor or not.
ladies at the opposite end with boxes
of safety matches. The winner was
the girl who could first reach her
partner; light his cigarette and the
pair race back to starting place. With
a stiff breeze blowing it was great
amusement for the crowd.
Then followed the other old-time
games, three-legged race, potato race,
etc., and in the evening a program in
the social hall, which kept everybody
awake until midnight.
And after six days and nights,
early in the morning, we see the
coast of Oahu in the distance, and
the long journey will soon end.
I saw a Jap or Chinese mother,
with her brood of three, stowed away
in a lemon box, and the box on a sort
of a wheelbarrow, and she wheeled it
up the street, giving them the benefit
of a bit of fresh air. The oldest
couldn't wedge in, so he sat on the
handle-bars and I suppose told mother
where to guide the auto. She wore
the pajamas and sandals, barefooted,
with a string between the two great
toes to hold the sandals on. She took
the youngsters down to the public
square and turned them loose and in
less than five minutes the oldest (I
figured he was a boy) had been hit in
the nose with an American grounder,
hit out by a Portuguese. Mixing 'em
up some.
And in the next letter will try to
give you something of the real life
of the Hawaiian of the way they
live, etc., that should be interesting.
This letter is simply first impres
sions of a strange town just side
lights written from notes as one jots
them down on the street.
Mrs. W. P. Meredith, wife of the
Equity editor, left Thursday of last

WHAT'S THE USE?
In view of all the unseemly scramble
tlmt most folks indulge In to get dollars
together and all !of us are afflicted
with the disease to a greater or less ex
tentthe question arises Involuntarily,
"What's the use?" Of what use so
much time and energy devoted to ma
terial pursuits when the things of life
that are most worth while love, es
teem, mutual regard, character, a good
untiie and the be"t aspects of reputa
tion are not material at all and are
only slightly affected one way or the
other by dollars aud the things that
dollurs can get? The folly of this scram
ble for dollars and some other un
worthy things Is often seen In the case
of the father who has been so absorbed
In the game that be bus not hod time
to give his sons proper precepts, let
nloue setting them a good example; In
the ease of the mother who has been so
eager to be at the front In society and
in the exhibitions of the latest styles
that she has not had time to give her
daughters proper instruction and ex
ample along the lines of modesty and
good seuse. In a most pathetic degree
It Is all too often witnessed in the case
of the parents who have scrimped and
saved and denied themselves comforts
aud real culture, only to come 'to the
end of life wretched and unsatisfied,
with children unappreclatlve of the
property about to be left to tlietn and
often fighting like cats and dogs over
Its division. "What's the use?" it is a
questlou that a good many folks ought
to be putting to themselves soberly aud
seriously.
ABOUT PRUNING.
In addition to the spraying opera
tions, there is a certain amount of
work along the line of .pruning which
should be done in the orchard every
season. This should include cutting
out cross branches that rub or those
growing in a direction that will tend to
Injure the symmetry of the top. If the
tree shows a tendency to be too rangy
the longer limbs should be cut back
moderately. Dead and diseased limbs
should be cut out carefully and water
sprouts growing from the roots or
trunk. If the trees or large branches
show a tendency to split, these should
be bored through with a three-sixteenths
or quarter Inch bit and a bolt
Inserted, care being taken that the end
of the bolt does not project any dis
tance beyond the bur through which
It screws.. Such precautions will pre
vent a breakdown later In the season,
when the tree is loaded heavily with
fruit As a general direction, it is well
to remember that pruning done before
the middle of June tends to encourage
a growth of 'wood, while that done
after the 1st of July encourages the
formation of fruit buds for the follow
ing year. In districts where the pear
blight is prevalent the early pruning
should be reduced to a minimum, as it
results in a quieter flow of sap In the
remaining wood and new growth and
greatly increases the problem of eon
trolling the blight.
GIVES FOOD AND EXERCISE.
A garden patch of a size to suit the
needs of the family is not only worth
while from the products to be got
from it. which will mean a cheap as
well as health giving bill of fare, but
also from the standpoint of the exer
cise which it will furnish for the man
of the house and other members of
the family who may not be out of
doors as much as they should. It
does the man who is in the habit of
spending a good deal of his time In
doors good to be out In the sun and
wind, to forget bis shop or office
worries and loosen his joints and get
bis hands dirty. Working up a sweat
will be good for him, and this, follow
ed by a bath and brisk rub down, will
make him feel like a king. Thousands
of city men get out of kilter physical
ly through lack of the simple exercise
which the care of a garden would af
ford. TO KILL COCKROACHES.
In sections where cockroaches are
bothersome the pests can be combated
by using the following remedy, tried
and recommended by the department
of agriculture: Mix one part of plaster
of parts and three or four parts of
flour. Place this dry mixture In a sau
cer or On a flat piece of wood or tin
where roaches are numerous. Near by
place another flat plate containing pure
water and supply a few Inclines of
wood or cardboard extending from the
floor to the edge of the plate, so that
the bugs will have easy access to the
water. Also float one or two pieces of
wood on the water, so that they will
touch the edge of the dish. The in
sects readily eat the flour-plaster mix
ture, become thirsty and drink, with
the result that the plaster sets in their
'intestines and kills them.
THE ROADSIDE TREES.
There ought to be a law preventing
the growing of any considerable num
ber of Bhade trees on the south side of
east and west roads, particularly when
not needed for purpose of adornment
in front of the house. Such trees are
almost Invariably paralleled by bad
loads during those seasons when there
Is any considerable rainfall. It is a
matter of gratification that farm own
ers are voluntarily cutting down hun
dreds of such tree rows set from forty
to sixty years ago not so much from
the f:i('t that their removal will make
It easier to keep the roads in shape as
that they sap the moisture and fertility
of the field which they border over a
strip approximately represented by j
spread of tblr branches.

L M. SWOPE GETS
A SCHOLAR SHIP
Son of Former Residents Goes
To Harvard on His Merits
As Student
We have received a copy of the
Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch which con
tains a new's item which may be of
considerable interest to Oregon City
and Clackamas County folk. It re
lates that Leslie Miller Swope, son of
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. George W. Swope,
of Norfolk, and a this year's graduate
of Maury High School has been pre
sented with and accepted from Har
vard University a "Kumrill Scholar
ship," which carries with it a gift to
him of $225 a year for the four years
of his course at that institution vi
learning, or an aggregate of $900. He
will enter the university next Septem
ber, and will make the law his pro
fession. His father, Dr. Swope, who is
pastor of the Central Baptist Church,
this city, was formerly a lawyer, and
practiced in Oregon for five years,
subsequently adopting the ministry as
his life work. The recipient of this
scholarship is 15 years of age, and a
young man of very good promise. He
was for some time in the schools of
Nashville, Tenn., and has been in Nor
folk schools for five and one-half
years. He completed in nine years
the school work of eleven years
seven of grammar school work. He
never failed of promotion, was presi
dent of the Home Literary Society of
Maury High, and vice-president of
that institution's German Society, and
was sent by Maury High as one of its
two representatives in he debate at
Charlottesville between teams of the
high schools of Virginia. 'The "Rum
rill Scholarship," which "young Mr.
Swope has received, was given to
Maury High School through Rev. Dr.
Louis I. Goldberg, rabbi of Beth El
Hebrew Temple, Norfolk, who is a
graduate of Harvard.
Rev. Swope, the young man's fath
er, is well known in this city where he
resided for some time before entering
the ministry. He taught school in
Clackamas county for several years,
after completing his studies in the
Oregon City schools. He is the
brother of Mrs. Charles Oglesby, of
this city.

W. C. T. U.
Last Thursday the W. C. T. U.
held a meeting at the Chautauqua
that was full of inspiration and en
thusiasm in the work of the coming
campaign. Mrs. Lillian . Michner,
state prsedient of the W. C. T. U. of
Kansas, arrived in Oregon City at
10:30 and was met at the depot by
the Oregon City W . C. T. U. Officers
and Mrs. Julia Kemp, a National
campaign worker and a band of the
L. S. L. carrying pennants and flags
Through the kindness of J. W. Lueile
and Mr. Adams and others, auto's
were in waiting to carry them to
Chautauqua, where they were met by
other bands of W. C. T. U. and L. T.
L's. and escorted to the Tabernacle,
where the 7 contestants who had won
silver medals competed for the gold
medal, and to say that one did better
than another was not to be thought of
and how the judges decided was sure
ly a puzzle to more than one. But
we are proud of the little loyal boys
and girls and surely Oregon will go
dry when they are old enough to vote
if it fails now. Mrs. Michner pre
sented the gold medal in a neat little
speech. After which she addressed
the audience for a few minutes on
the several problems relating to the
liquor traffic, then at 3:30 she told
her large audience how prohibition
works in Kansas, but as Mrs. Michner
will be in Oregon City shortly to talk
to the people, we hope everybody will
turn out to hear this charming speak
er and who stands ready to answer all
questions regarding the liquor busi
ness from a commercial, social and
moral standpoint.

LOGAN
Beer seemed to be very plentiful
in divers and sundry places on the re
cent 4th of July. Whether people
were scared of losing the privilege in
the near future or whether the brew
ers and hopmen were working to get
the voters X in the desired place next
November, deponent sayeth not.
Miss Bee Young, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Young and Joseph
Hinkle were married recently and we

es. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kohl gave a
wedding dance at the Grange hall on
July 11th and those present report an
enjoyable affair.

the past week baling out of the field.
Carll Kirchem has bought F. E. An

C. Gerber has a large force baling
and moves them around with his auto
truck. Henry Thun runs his baler
with a 40-horsepower gasoline engine
and hauls John D's. liquid power pro
ducer instead of water. Kohl Bros,
are baling also and it seems that Lo
gan does it's share toward preparing
that kind of feed for use.
Chas. Hill had a turn over with the
automobile last week and escaped
serious injury though the machine was
not quite so fortunate.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Gerber
