MEREDITH ON PSYCHOLOGY
Correspondent Also Writes on the
Legislature's Ability
Editor Courier:
The Courier tells me that Rev.
Milliken wants the. legislature to
regulate mesmerism. Rev. Milliken
is generally correct in his views on
pennnmies or social reforms but he
or myself is very much mistaken in
our views about entrusting mo wie
gon legislature with an intellectual
power that only a few know anything
at all about, and very little those
know "about the' "subconscious" pow
er of man. The exalted thoughts
made manifest by modern psychology
are not investigated by wire pulling
politicians who inhabit our legisla
ture. Not three men of our legislature
could give you an intelligent defin
ition of mesmerism. Unless you mix
it with dollars and business they
would not know which side to milk it.
It would be just as easy for our leg
islature to regulate" gravitation or
the weather. Now, Brother Milliken,
do you think the general reputation
of our legislature in managing pro
hibition, the state land, fish and
game and other things, would justi
fy us in making them guardian of a
force they know not of and in which
carries its own law not subject to
change 1
The writer's knowledge of mes
merism is like his knowledge of other
things just .enough to create an ap
petite for more. Mesmerism comes
from a source devoid of all evil. It
soars above man-made laws and car
ries a message to all who seek to
hear it, of truth that will make us
free from many of the undesirable
conditions of the human mind today,
Brother Milliken, the average legisla
tor of today can regulate dollars,
crime and business, but talk psychol
ogy to him and he would try to get
you assigned to a ward down at Sa
lem. Farmers do not acciuire the edu
cation enjoyed by other classes which
have the money and time to spare,
and for this reason farmers are not-
od fnr their lack of knowledge in
business methods and are not allow
ed to occupy any places of honor.
Now just to show how foolish farm
T will illustrate. A few
(lavs &tta we read of a town in Kan
sas that was enjoying unusual pros-
neritv. Farmers were getting gopu
prices for their produce and buying
big orders from the stores. Then a
strange auto came with strange men,
whn tip rsuaded the fool farmers to
help them land a band of counter
feiters and these fool farmers are
now havinir as hard times as before
All farmers' telephones of Clacka
mas county should be united to in
crease their value. The more phones
your phone is connected with, the
more it is worth to' you. Some
farmers' phones are centered with
the Home comnanv. and some with
the Pacific States. If they cannot
mutually arrange the system farm
era should call a meeting and pro
ceed to establish a central. Unite all
farmers' phones in one company un
der one management. Farmers musl
get into business on their own hook
" and become independent by cooper
ating.
P. W. MEREDITH.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
That Depends on the Way You Pro
nounce It Sometimes
The Oregon City marching club,
that is going to spread the fame of
this beautiful and salubrious com
munity up and down the Pacific
Slone. and which is eoinir to march
in every parade that is to bo held as
long as the club lasts, has chosen to
be known as the Fallsaiians, The
name is designed to let people know
that wo have falls here, and that we
are a great manufacturing ana water
power center. Hurrah for the Falls
nrians. But.
Good news travels fast. As soon
as the choice of name hud been an
nounced, one of the Courier's rend
ers sat him (or her) down and wrote
us the following letter:
Editor Courier: How are they go
ing to pronounce the name, please?
Are they going to say "False Ariuns"
or "Fulzreeans"' or "Fulls-err-ians"
or what? Please lot mo know at
oncce. Yours, ANIXIOUS READER.
We put the mutter up to T. A.
Burke, one of the marchers who
knows a whole lot, and who is a lin
guist besides, and T. A. Burke, he
said that he thought they'd call
themselves the "Fall Guys" in pri
vate, and the "Fallsrns" in public.
HINTS ON FASHIONS
(Continued from page 8)
flower-like formation, tier upon tier.
Other kimonos of China silk, taffeta
and crepe do Chine show the art of
the smocker.
A Nattier blue taffeto matinee has
a yoke effect of this needlework and
narrow ruffles of white maline which
match the ruffles on a taffeta petti
coat. Then, for milady who break
fasts in bed, there is a pretty jacket
of peach blow Batin trimmed with
swan's-down, and one of the new
shirred circular pillows of the same
satin, to tuck behind her back.
Breakfast jackets of lierre lace and
point d'esprit are also shown. Each
of these has its own particular bou
doir cap and here again names come
in play. The "Normandy" cap of
maize, pink, white, or lavender crepe
de Chine takes its style from the
headdress of the' Normandy peasant
and the "Colleen" cap is a coenfee
tion of ecru net. Oriental lounging
robes are also receiving considerable
attention, on account of their new
shaded colorings. One butterfly ki
mona of fine silk crepe is embroider
ed in a wistaria pattern, graduating
in tone from deep purple to whtie.

mniof and uut in first class
shape a stretch of road between New
Era and Oregon City, beyond the
section recently improved by the
county, people of the two commun
ities will unite in a "Good Roads
Day" on June 10. Everybody is ex
pected to turn up with serviceable
overalls and a shovel or rake, and
be prepared to put in the entire day
or as much of it as they can spare
on road work.
This road would cut out a lot of
heavy grades and furnish a di
rect route through Oregon City, as
well as an important artery of travel;
and it is the desire of the people us
ing; it that it be placed in the best
of condition for the summer. The
county has done considerable work
on it already, but there is yet much
to be done to make the highway
what it ought to be.
Under Supervisors Mattoon and
Engle the grade will be established,
and it is the plan of the Good Roads
Day backers to level the surface
down to grade, to put in a good foun
dation and to roll and generally im
prove the surface so that it will be
good for all kinds of travel. The
Live Wires of the Oregon City Com
mercial Club, and local automobile
users, have entered enthusiastically
into the scheme and have promised
to have a large "gang" on hand.
