OEEGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON VEN was "A WHICH SHALL IT BE? Perkins Presents the Case and W. W. Myers Asks the Questions "What gave us the sweatshop; what gave us child labor; what gave us adulterated food; what gave us inadequate wages to women and girls in industry? Nothing in the world but compe tition carried to its logical conclu sion, and if that was the result in the days when intercommunication was meagre and incomplete, how much more keen and destructive com petition would be and how much more far reaching its ill effects would be on the worker's fair share were we to literally follow those methods in these days when inter communication is universal and well nigh complete. "Competition at one tune may have been the life of trade, but it certainly was the death of manhood, the curse of womanhood, the wrecker of childhood. Competition may have been the life of trade at the time that labor was the slaver; it may have been the life of trade looking at trade from the standpoint of advan tage and profit to capital, but com petition never was the life of trade looking at it from the standpoint of the worker's fair share. "Competition has always enriched the strong and impoverished the weak. It has always fostered and stimulated lying, deceit and adulter ation, and its ultimate goal has al ways been private monopoly of the worst and most pernicious sort. "The world's commercial path and the worker's path are strewn with the white bones of ruthless compe tition. It has all been tried out over and over again, and it is not good enough for civilized man at the be ginning of the twentieth century to turn back to or follow." The above was written by George W. Perkins and clipped from the Morning Enterprise. Coming from these sources it certainly is worthy of some thought. Most people reading it would say it is quite Socialistic. Yes, but what kind? The Progressives of the Wilson or Roosevelt rings say "bust the trusts." The Socialists say let the people own the trusts. The standpatters of the Perkins tvne sav let us own the trusts. It is up to the people which is the best for all eoncerned, whether we let the capitalists co-operate and own the trusts, bust the trusts, go back to competition or the people co operate and own the trusts.

"You Are Just as Old as Your back as far as Caesar's time 1 T 1 . ' "L used, in later years, men buuslhuicu iui t man's lust as old as Ke feels." Taking the two, and combining the meaning, we have the true expression and CHIROPRACTIC interpretation "A MAN'S JUST AS OLD AS HIS SPINE ALLOWS HIM TO FEEL." The spinal column is the main conduit through which the nerve cables pass from the brain, and from which the tiny feed ers are distributed to every portion of the body. If through abnormal curvature, the bones of the spinal column obstruct the free flow of the health-giving currents from the brain to the bodily organs, disease results in the organs so affected. The Chiropractor adjusts the cause of the trouble, removes the pressure on the nerves without the use of Drugs or Knife. This allows Nature to build up the diseased organs or tissues. Health. Is Normal. Disease Is Abnormal If there is any abnormal condition present in your body which is causing you suffering, let Chiropractic bring back normal conditions so you may again enjoy good health. DRS.

The new biplane had only Just left the field in un effort to climb higher into the utmost cloudless Bky than any aviator had yet ascended. Twice It had circled the aviation course, and each loug spiral had carried It a peg upward. Already the determined, insistent br-r-r of the motor was. softened by distunce. and fleldglasses were necessary to as sure oneself that the little black figure between the canvas parallelograms was actually a human being. The Inst nuin who had touched the biplane one of the mechanicians who had given the apparatus its final groom ing watched its flight grimly. His face was pale under its cont of tau, und his eyes glittered with some repressed ex citement. Presently when somebody touched him lightly he sturted nervous ly and pulled himself together with au effort, but he seemed unable to fix his eyes on the tall young man in plaid knickerbockers who had thus startled him. The young man. whose enp, worn backward after the fashion of avintors, seemed to add keenness to his long, smooth shaven face, kept his hand lightly on the other's shoulder. To the distant spectators they presented noth ing more startling than the spectacle of a well known ulr miiu talking rather familiarly with an unknown mechani cian. Many were watching them and pointing them out to new arrivals with the explanation: That's Harritnan, you know, away over there across the field the fellow who made that splendid flight yester day in the Bleriot." Harrlman's grip tightened' a little on the mechanician's shoulder. Did you tamper with Clinton's ma chine before the getaway?" lie asked evenly. His voice was low.. It failed to reach the group of ten or a dozen other mech anicians gathered around his own ma chine at a little distance. The man in the blue overalls looked at him and then away again. What do you mean, Mr. narriman?" he demanded sullenly. Don't lie!" said the other. ''I've been watching you ever since be went up.". He dropped his hand from the man's shoulder. "We're rivals in this business, and if anything happens to Clinton it's none of my funeral. But I'd like to know if anything is likely to happen understand? "If anything happens," he continued, I may add that there'd be a hundred dollars couiiug to the man who had fixed it. tftut it wouldn't do for him to come to me with his story after he'd had a chance to make it fit the cir cuuistauces." lie turned on his heel and moved away, whistling. The incchaniciau hes itated. Then he took a long step after the other man. I'll tell you what will happen. Mr. Hurriman," he said quickly. "He'll lose his control of the elevating plane. Uo gave me my walking papers this morn ing, but I guess he won't be looking very hard for a substitute. You watch him. When hes done about a dozen of them spirals"'' He got no further. Ilarrlmau. his face illuminated with i.ngry determina tion, had turned and gripped him by the wrists. You low brute!" he exclaimed sharp ly, raising his voice. The men puttering about tue mono plane heard him. They .turned quick ly, saw the two men struggling togeth er nud came up running. The group surrounded the aviator and his captive ilke a living curtain. Take this uian and give him to the police." said Ilarriuiau. 'Tick hlin up as If he were injured. If he makes a fuss injure him. Two of you are enough. The rest of you get my ma chine in order. And you, Dick, chase ucross the field and tell the announcer I'm going up. Tell him," he called after the retreating figure, "that I'm going up utter altitude!" The men stared. They were used to quick action, but this happened a little quicker than usual. Only one of them cuught the situation. "You're going to catch Clinton?" "If I can. He's up there with a tam pered machine, which may fall any minute. He can't be signaled, and there's no use starting a panic in the grand stand." II. The distaut crowd of spectators won dered ns it saw two men with their burden emerge from the little group, while a third ran across the field to ward the announcer, and the others swung the mouoplane into line for a start. There was a moment's discus sion; then the announcer raised his megaphone and bellowed to the four points of the compass: "MIs-ter Tho-mas Har-rl-man going up in the Bler-l-ot. He-will-try-to break the-world's record for alti tude!" Ilarriman. firmly settled In his ma chine, raised his right hand. Behind him the mechanicians sprang away from the apparatus, the propeller be gan Its steady. Insistent roar, and the monoplane careered madly across the elastic turf of the field.

Among the aviators and experts on the field the knowledge of Harrlman's errand had spread from man to man. It had lapped over into the press box and sent an unaccustomed thrill of ex citemeut along the reporters' table. Anxious eyes Btudiud the biplane to see if there was yet any sign of defec tive machinery. Once the machine started as if to settle earthward; then it steadied, aud those who knew drew a long breath and told one nnother that the swerve was due to some up per air current, for the biplane was again climbing. Although the whiz of its propeller blades was clearly visible, like a little electric fan, the sound they made was now altogether inaudible. The roar of Harrlman's motor meanwhile sounded like a continuous accent of haste and anxiety. For the monoplane was now complet ing its first spiral. Its motor running full speed aud its occupaut evidently bent on gaining every possible inch of elevation. Again and again the ele vating plane lifted the insect-like body to a sudden, almost perpendicular, up ward flight. There was danger in thus forcing the mechanism. Each time the aviator took the risk that the repeated stress would snap some con necting link between himself aud his apparatus and send it crashing down ward. But to the audience each of these splendid upward leaps seemed to be executed for its amusement, and It cheered them wildly. Here and there people argued about the probable alti tude, but none denied that the mono plane was rising faster than the air ship that had preceded it. Under any circumstances Harrlman's monoplane was a faster machine thau Clinton's biplane. The biplane was built for stability, endurance and car rying power. The monoplane was con structed for speed first and other things afterward. Again and again It seemed as if Har riman lifted his machine upward by sheer force of will. As the faint buzz of the motor sounded once more di rectly above the grand stand it was evident that the dragon fly had cut one-third from the distance thnt sep arated it from the biplane. It was impossible to estimate its height above the ground, but each successive spiral, sometimes carrying the monoplane far out over the river, evidently brought the pursuer nearer the altitude of his quarry. Fifteen minutes, twenty, twenty-five almost half nn hour had elapsed since the monoplane started. The two air ships were now near together, and fieldglasses were necessary to follow their evolutions. The baud had started another march, but no feet beat time to it. The field had altogether lost Its customary air of bustle and prepara tion. The avintors had drawn together and were looking steadily upward. The mechanicians stood in idle groups watching the airships. The announcer had put down his megaphone. Then the biplane began to drop. It fell slowly to the level of the mono plane, and for a long thirty second. the two machines Beemed to be coming down together. One of the men at the edge of the field spoke into a telephone, and a mo ment later n motor driven ambulance came into view from behind the hos pital tent. It Btopped and waited. In side a couple of white coated surgeons were arranging a stretcher. The chauf feur leaned forward, with his eye fix ed on the biplane. But the two airships were again mounting, now almost side by side. Even with the glasses It was impossi ble to tell what the men In them were doing. But the monoplane, putting on speed, headed in front of the slower craft and then turned and plunged sud denly downward. III. A. quick iudrawlng of breath ran along the grand stand, a mighty sigh, as if all these thousands of people had responded to a given signal. The band stopped playing, one instrument after another involuntarily silenced by the general feeling of something imminent and terrible. Up there in the sky Harrlman seem ed to be performing feats that were no longer amusing, but criminally reck less. It was one thing, people told one another, to see a man take risks, but they had not come there to see a man commit suicide. Three times in suc cession he drove his machine across the path of the biplane aud then dived earthward ut un angle that made it seem impossible that be would not be pitched bodily out. But the fourth time the other machine followed, and the two began circling back toward the earth. ' And now the race seemed to be re versed. The monoplane led, nnd the biplane followed. The long, graceful spirals brought them nearer and near er to the landing place. The baud, as if ashamed of its lapse from duty, played louder than ever. The fulnt buzzing of the motors grew, to a roar as the two airships circled the course not far above the heads of the spectators. Then It stopped ab ruptly ns first one man und then the other shut oft his power and swooped to the solid earth. Clinton climbed hastily out of his machine and ap proached the monoplane, taking off the pads that protected his ears from the noise of his motor aud hearing for the first time the thunder of applause that bad greeted his lundlng. "Well, Ilarriman." he said, "1 sup pose this is what you were after with all that pantomime. ISut wnat tne dickens were you trying to say to me?" "You Just look over thnt machine of yours Inch by inch," replied narriman. climbing stiffly out of his own airship, "and I don't think you'll need to ask questions. Overhaul your elevating nlane in particular. Br-r-r-r!" ne slapped his arms to restore circulation, "It's a cold place up there without one's leather jacket!"

Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for these women it will do for any sick woman ? Wonderful Case of Mrs. Crusen, of Bushnell, III. Bushnell, III." I think all the trouble I have had since my marriage was caused by exposure when a young girl. My work has been housework of all kinds, and I have done milking in the cold and snow when I was too young to realize that it would hurt me. I have suffered very much with bearing down pains in my back and such miserable pains across me, and was very nervous and generally run down in health, but since I have taken Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Ctompqund my back never hurts me, my nerves are stronger, and I am gaining in health every day. I thank you for the great help I have received from your medicine, and if my letter will benefit suf fering women I will be glad ior you to print it." Mrs. Jambs Ceuskn, Bushnell, Illinois. A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman. IIodgdon, Me. "I feel it a duty I owe to all Buffering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an opera tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your medicine." Mrs. IIatwakd Sowers, IIodgdon, Maine. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias been the standard remedy for fe male ills.
