SPASM NO. 2
Rendy Writer Heaves a Few More
at Humble Scribe
Editor Courier: A couple of weeks
ago the Wolf Howl man told us that
those of us who are doing the hard
and useful work were without brains.
Now he says hat Tom Burke put him
up to it. (I had supposed he got it
out of the Consular reports.) Some
thing like Jack Rose in the Becker
affair, turning state's evidence in
hope that the electric juice will go up
and down Burke's spinal column. If
the case could be clearly established
against Burke I would gladly treat
him as the English government treat
ed an undesirable citizen of that
name. There are, however, two
points in the demurer in Tom's favor.
First, I don't go in strong on that vi
carious atonement stuff; second,
George C. Brownell gives us an ex
pert opinion that the person turning
state's evidence is unreliable because
he is concerned in saving his own
precious neck.
Furthermore, the Howler sage tells
us that it is a ease of eats, and then
points with pride that three persons
have so far read his dope, and there
fore it has the usual patent medicine
merit. This explanation gives it the
appearance that the boss must have
told him that nobody read his stuff,
and therefore his weekly pay was a
drac: that would mean a vacant chair
nt the dinner table. Experience has
taught me the sensations that belong
to such a state of affairs, therefore I
can clearly see why a radical remedy
was called upon to prevent the
appending disaster. Having demon
strated that it is not strictly dead
or.Q-o it- ia Vinned that be is makintr I
good whether we workers carry any
cellular gray matter under our rag
ged hats or not.
It also shows that something be
sides politics makes strange bedfel
lows. Think of the fellowship of Drs. ;
Morris and Milliken linked to plebeian
Stark. Perhaps it is a case of one'
touch of nature making this whole!

JOHN STARK.
Courier, entitled "Clackamas is in
lucky form.'' It is a good thing to
patronize home trade, and I am glad
we are not like Benton county in this
respect. I notice that you say that
not all of the county officers patron
ize county merchants and printers,
and I would like to know which one
does not. I do not think any county
officer who fails to help the home
merchant should be given the support
of the voters. Tell us which one does
not do this, and oblige,
W. J. M.
(Editor's note): There is nothing
like letting a man have his say.
However, we are inclined to think
that Brother Stark got the idea wrong
in the first place. Nothing was said
in the Courier about people who did
hard work having no brains. For the
benefit of Mr. Stark and those whom
he may have misled, the Courier here
with reprints the original paragraph
that caused all the fuss.
"Now comes the Rev. J. P. Jockin-
son and remarks: 'Thousands of uni
versity , men are speaking of the
church contemptuously.' Dinna wor
rit sae, mon thousands of university
men are also handling picks and shov
els, and twisting controller handles on
trolley cars, too, because they haven't
any brains."
Do you see any reflection on farm
ers in that?
(Editor's note: The Courier at
this time does not feel called upon to
categorically mention county offic
ials who send to Portland or other
places for work that they could get
done just as well in Clackamas coun
ty. There are county officials who
make a practice' of ignoring county
businessmen, however, and in due
time the Courier will' print some in
teresting records in connection with
this matter. In the meantime if our
correspondent desires further infor
mation on the matter, we suggest
that he go to the county courthouse
and ask to see the nice, new and
pretty books in the "road index sys
tem." One of the books is labelled
"record of roads.'' Inquiry as to
where these were made, and who
ordered them, may satiate the cor
respondent's curiosity for the time being.
