PLAY IS ENJOYED "Everyyouth" Pleases Large Audi ence at Willamette Hall "Everyyouth," one of the best plays ever given in Willamette, was presented Friday evening, May 14th, by the graduating 'class of the gram mar school, under the direction of Frank Paul, principal.

All of the characters were well presented, . but Terry Barnes as "Everyyouth," and Willis Elliott as "Work" elicited the most applause, while Theodore Ryser as "Care," Frank Bennett as "Vice," and Burns Britton as "Pleasure, looked and acted their parts.

CHIEF SHAW BUSY Prospects of Highschool at Gladstone Appear Good at Election Consolidation of the Gladstone, ' Clackamas, Parkplace and Jennings Lodge school districts carried by a considerable majority at the special school election held in the four dis tricts Monday of this week. Glad-! stone gave the largest vote in the matter, the ballots being 209 to 4 in favor of consolidation. Parkplace voted 37 to 28 in favor of consolida tion, and Clackamas voted 38 to 33 in favor. In Jennings Lodge the vote was 45 against and 3 for. The election was merely for the purpose of consolidating the districts. Now that this has carried, another election will be held to raise funds for the construction of the high ' school, which will be erected on a three-acre plot in Gladstone park do nated by H. E. Cross. The new highschool will give these four dis tricts a union highschool convenient tn all carts of the territory effected, onH will make it unnecessary for children living in the region to at tend the Oregon City highschool and pay the heavy tuition charged non resident pupus. , It is proposed to erect a modern highschool, so planned that it may be enlarged as the need requires; and to have it equipped with every modern improvement to meet the re quirements of the state standard.

Recorder Loder gave the men pre liminary hearing in the jail corrider, and bound all hands over in the sum of $25 for trial later. Chief of Po lice Shaw deserves commendation for his quick work in apprehending the party, overhauling and arresting them almost as soon as they came within the city limits. ELEVATOR AT WORK County Seat Monument Does Public Service After Lapse of Months The Oregon City public elevator is at work. It is carrying something. Citizens should not get excited. however; as the $12,000 monument to a bygone administration has not yet started to go up and down and carry foot-weary citizens to the top of the bluff. Oh no, far be it from such. It is at work, however. It is serv ing as a municipal billboard, and is carrying a banner advertising the ex cursion of the Baptist Sunday school picnic. Most people are surprised that the elevator could even carry that. gentle habit of physicians in 'split ting fees," and before any surgeon can be admitted to membership he or she must sign a declaration which reads as follows: ' "I hereby promise upon my honor as a gentleman that I will not, so long as I am a Fellow of the Ameri can College of Surgeons, practice di vision of fees in any form; neither by collecting fees for others refer- ring patients to me; nor by permit ting them to collect my fees for me; nor will I make joint fees with phy sicians or surgeons referring patients to me for operation or consultation; neither will I in any way, directly or indirectly, compensate anyone refer ring patients to me; nor will I utilize any man as an assistant as a sub terfuge for this purpose. This action, and the declaration, are the outgrowths of a practice which has become frequent in medic al circles lately of "putting patients through" and dividing the profits. Reputable physicians and surgeons have rebelled at the scheme, and see ing the manner in which usual consul tation privileges have been made the basis of a neat graft, have taken the action for their own protection. In cidentally the practice has been con demned in strong terms by many doctors, the Journal of the American Medical Association for April 24, 1915 quoting a general condemnation of fee-splitting by Jas. G. Mumford, which appeared in the Clifton Medic al Bulletin. "Fee-splitting" appears to be an outgrowth of specialization. It is usually carried on by a group of doc tors and specialists, who unite for profit, and maybe for the good of their patients. A patient visits a doctor and asks the medical man to tell him what is 'wrong. The doctor looks wise, feels the patients pulse, looks at his tongue, charges him three dollars, and then advises him to see Ur. Brown, who is a nose and throat specialist. The patient goes to Dr. Brown, has his nose and throat sprayed, pays five dollars, and is told to see Dr. Green, the surgeon. Doc. Green pummels the patient, tells him he has appendicitis probably, and also a compound fracture of the medula obligata or something like that and advises him to see Dr. Killem, the X-ray specialist. Dr. Killem looks through the patient, sees ten dollars yet in his clothes, takes five of that," and passes the patient on to Dr. Smith, who is touted as a nerve specialist. Dr. Smith takes the man's last five bucks, tells him to grab the electric light wires twice a day, and ships him back to the first doctor. Then all the doctors get together and give the first man a percentage. The scheme works both ways, any doctor getting a patient "putting him through" the rest of the circle for "further examination." Some times a dentist is rung in on the deal, too depending on how prosperous the patient looks. This scheme has brought on a gen eral distrust of doctors, and for the preservation of the profession, rep utable doctors are forming a move ment against the scheme. munity and should be allotted to in dividuals subject to conformity with community custom. If anyone did not want to conform he would be at liberty to sell out and to remove to some other community where the customs would suit him. This would save all the trouble about enforcement of laws 'and all the expense of legislation. A com munity ought to be a unity. That is the people ought to be united in some bonds of good will arid brother hood, so that each member should be reconized as a member with equal rights with every other according to his usefulness. But under capitalist law a com munity is a disunity, a' discordant ag gregation of congruous elements', whose chief interest is in their, quar rels, hates and grouches. And it cannot be otherwise as long as steal ing is legalized. Through the per mission of rent and interest and prof it. Rent is robbery, interest is theft and profit is rougery. These are fundamental truths and until the peo ple learn this they will only have in creasing discoid and distinction, as these coils accumulate wealth in the hands of idlers and rob the producers Rent, interest and profit are viola tions of the commandments "Thou Shalt Not Steal" and so long as stealing is permitted under the cov er of law and cheating rewarded, while honesty is dispised, there can never be any real bonds of unity or community among the people. Deeds, contracts, bonds notes and other legal instruments for the extor tion of rent and interest and profit; are the destructive elements in the present society. The bonds of Shy lock are not the bonds of brother hood. There is no brotherhood be tween the money-lender and his vic tim any more than there is between wolf and a lamb. And the whole machinery of law is at present oper ated in the interest of this graft. If robbery was abolished, then the whole machinery of capitalist law might go in the junk heap. For organized government as we have it now, is merely organized robbery in the in- erests of bondholders and landlords, Communities can be formed on constructive principals as soon as groups of people become instructed in the laws of order and manifest a willingness to demonstrate the super iority of peace and good will over the discords and hates that are des tined soon to rend this rotten capital ist society to its full distruction, The reign of Mammon is coming to its end. J. L. JONES. FOR W. W. MEYERS (Continued from page 6.) evidence only where the female frequents." Mr. Myers knows better than to charge that "white slave procurers" infest Oregon City picture theatres. He ought to know that most of the "popular'' white slave peril is pure moonshine. Mr. Myers should re member that when John D. Rocke feller obtained the services of a Fed eral Secret Service agent to investi gate the white slave pern some years ago, this man was able to buy but two white slaves in the whole United States and Alaska, in spite of the fact that he had the Rockefeller millions behind him. He "bought' one slave in the South, a negro wo man; and he "bought another in Alaska a French woman of the un derworld. Maybe this investigator didn't vis it Oregon City. If Mr. Myers knows of any "white slavers" in this- neck of the woods, and will submit his evi dence to the Courier, THIS PAPER WILL DO ITS UTMOST TO PUT ANY LOCAL WHITE SLAVERS WHERE THEY BELONG.

The Bingham bill gives a prefer ential of five percent in favor of goods manufactured in Oregon, or in favor of Oregon labor, in the consid eration of competitive bidding before county courts, boards of county com missioners, school boards, city coun cils, or oth erpublic officers author ized to purchase supplies or contract for labor. "In plainer English, a purchasing officer is authorized to accept as the lowest bid for labor or supplies that offeerd by representatives of Oregon products, if the bid of the latter is not more than five percent higher than the lowest bidder from any other state," said ' George D. Lee, secretary of the bureau. "It is in tended to counterbalance the differ ence in the cost of production, as be tween local and foreign concerns. It somewhat adds to the handicap of the foreign manufacturer represent ed by freight rates, and it should prove an encourgaement to the estab lishment of factories for the manu facture of those items needed in the building of roads and bridges and materials consumed by municipal purchase. "Senator Bingham introduced the bill after consultation with repre sentatives of the organizations which have been struggling to enlarge the market for those factories already here and to pave the way for others yet to be secured. ' V "In the opinion of David M. Dunne, and other pioneer manufacturers, the Bingham measure will prove of great value." W. C. T. U. Meets . Tuesday an all day county insti tute of the W. C. T. U. was held in the parlors of the Presbyterian church, Oregon City. A number of out of town speakers added to the in terest of the program, and a silver medal contest in the evening brought the day's exercises to a close. Fajicv Evolutions on Courthouse Lawn To Be Booster Day Feature Among the several attractions arranged for Booster Day will be a series of fancy dances, folk dances and military evolutions by Oregon City school children on the court house lawn. The young folk have been practicing steadily for this, and their exhibition promises to be among the most attractive on the big program. Aside from this City Superintend ent F. J. S. Tooze has made arrange ments for a display of the work of pupils in the county seat schools, to be held in the vacant store room on the main floor of the Weinhard building, directly opposite the court house. Exhibits of work from all grades and classes of the grammar and highschools will be on view, and some extra fine things are promised. Of particular interest will be the displays of manual training and do mestic science work, much ot whicn will subsequently be sent to the county fair at Canby, and to the state fair at Salem. Elk Leader Here Thurston E. Daniels, district depu ty grand exalted ruler of the Elks, visited Oregon City lodge last week; leaving later with the county seat contingent on a special excursion to Salem, where candidates for the Sa lem lodge were initiated. Fire Damages House The home of James Washburn, at Gladstone, was slightly damaged by an attic fire last week. A small boy playing with matches is believed to have been the basic cause of the blaze.' The damage was about $200. NOVEL EXHIBIT MADE Miniature Railroad Trains Shown jn Trip at Frisco Fair Four western railways have coop erated in building an interesting ex hibit in the Transportation Building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. It consists of a globe, approximately 50 ft. in diameter, which on one face carries a large relief map of North America. Between the points rep resenting San Francisco and St. Louis miniature trains, which are produced by an ingenious electrical arrangement, flit across the map at frequent intervals. The trip is made in three minutes, and as a train pass es through different cities along the line the names of the places are il luminated electrically. Surrounding the globe, and separated by arches leading to its interior, are figures symbolic of transportation, agricul ture, recreation and industries. On the inside of the globe are reproduc tions of many points of interest in the West, such as the Royal Gorge, Denver. Salt Lake City, and other familiar places along the railroads, A picture of this exhibit is a feature of the June Popular Mechanics Mag azine.

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.
