' Ex-president TafWchief of all
I standpatters was in Portland lately,
with the same "shenanigan grin'' and
i-the -same cheap line of talk nothing,
I however, about relieving theTiard con
dition of the poor. His feet are in
the hog trough; nobody else is of any
consequence. These fat-jowled, cold-
I blooded fellows have had their day,
and are approaching oblivion.
They have now elevated Simon Ben
son, of Portland, to the position of
first citizen of Oregon. He is the
man who violently fought the propo
sition to pay laborers $3.00 per day
of eight hours, and is paying but
$2.00 on his public road system and
a man gets but short time who does
not board at his camps and pay $5.00
a week. On account of enforced idle
ness; on account of material falling
short, or other causes, some of these
laborers hardly break even at the end
of the month. No, Mr. Benson! The
first citizen of Oregon must have a
heart in him. You evidently have
nong. To be successful in a business
way is not the great desideratum. A
skunk got into a hen-roost here late
ly and killed 30 chickens, and a sly,
sharp shrewd weasel killed 100 chick
ens in one night. Both were success
ful in a business way, .but are they
first citizens? Not so you can dis
tinguish it! They both had their suc
cessful business careers cut short.
The Germans say they will soon

the end of the war will witness a
complete upheaval of many existing
conditions, and mourns at the loss of
many time-honored traditions. Too
bad! Some elegantly dressed gentle
men will have to go to work, and the
people who have heretofore done the
useful labor of the world will get
their due reward.
The old standpatters are not so
positive in their predictions of vic
tory in 1916 as they were last fall.
The return of the Progressives to
their platform ana principles, and
the masterly administration of Pres
ident Wilson has got them guessing.
Talk about luxury these hot days!
Suppose you were up in the cool, high
hills by the side of a cold, running
stream with mountain trout, fresh
venison, grouse and huckleberries, etc,
for supper, and a bed of moss or
cedar boughs to sleep on by a camp
fire, with no insects of any kind to
bother you. Many are enjoying that
kind of life right now. Five times as
many autoes go by here this year
than ever before.
Millions of gold are being dumped

Oregonian Man Takes Rap at Finzer
On Guard Matters
George White, formerly a reporter
on the Oregoniun, and later "Sunday
supplement editor" of that glorious
sheet, and since the election of Gover
nor Withycombe adjutant general of
the state militia, breaks into print
this week in the Oregonian with a
"kick" against the government inves
tigation of shortcomings that he al
leges in former Adjutant General
Finzer's management of affairs of the
Clackamas rifle range. The govern
ment rlotnilpH Mninr D. C. Shanks to
investigate White's charges, and
Inf. CM l. -..,...J-,1
I thing was lovely, saying in part:
"I am far from believing that there
is any kind of sufficient ground for
referring to General Finzer as an
embezzler of public funds.
"The present Adjutant-General
formerly was a newspaper man. I
think it is widely recognized that his
selection as Adjutant-General is a po
litical one, and I believe that he him
self cannot deny that he owes -his ap
pointment to politics.
"I believe . that General Finzer
worked hard and was honest and con
scientious in his efforts to secure a
rifle range for the National Guard
in Portland and vicinity. .
"I do not believe that a single
penny of the Government money went
into his own pocket through any dis
honest motive.
"It is most unfortunate that his
successor should seek to make a foun
dation for his own efficiency by be
smirching the record of his prede-.
cessor.''
Members of the militia, who have
worked hard to develop the Clacka
mas range, and to establish there a
nucleus of an artillery battery, are in
clined to agree with the federal in
spector; and as a result George White
is a little less popular than formerly
in national guard circles.
MOLALLA
E. J. Brown, of La Grande, who
owns a fine farm west of Molalla, was
here last week looking after his interests.
NEWS FOR GIRLS
Public Service Commission Takes
Action of Interest
It will not be necessary much long
er for young ladies of the county seat
and other points on the in terurban local live-wire.
line of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company to wear silk stock
ings in order to "look well" when they
ride on the cars. They can wear any
old stockings that happen to be handy
when they get up, and nobody will
know the difference.
All this because the Public Service
Commission has ordered tne street
car company to lower the steps on
the Oregon City cars, so that the bot
tom step shall not be more than 16
inches above the level of the rail.
Furthermore, the Public Service Com
mission says that all platform sta
tions must be raised, that the work
must be started before the end of Oc
tober, and must be completed within
a year.
This means that gymnastics will no
longer be necessary to get one upon
the cars of the interurban line, and
that with the full skirts that are now
in vogue, any "perfect lady" can
board a car for Portland without hav
ing to worry about what she has on.
A 16-inch step can be concealed un
der flowing skirts, and even holes in
the heels of one's stockings can be
hidden. This order of the Public
Service commission will be received
with gladness by many local belles,
who have been kept in a state of dire
poverty buying silk stockings for use
on the cars.
And probably the same order will
be received with regret by some be
ings generally classified by the fair
sex as "horrid men.''
His Rest Was Broken
O. D. Wright, Rosemont, Neb.,
writes: "For about six months I was
bothered with shooting and continual
pains in the region of my kidneys. My
rest was broken nearly every night by
frequent action of my kidneys. I was
advised by my doctor to try Foley
Kidney Pills and one 50 cent bottle
made a well man of me. I can al
ways recommend Foley Kidney Pills,
for I know they are good.'' This
splendid remedy for backache, Theu
matism, sore muscles and swollen
joints contains no habit forming
drugs. Jones Drug Co.
School Change Proposed
Gladstone school patrons are con
sidering dropping the two high school
grades now maintained in their build
ing, so as to reduce the school tax,
which is now eight mills. Failure of
the proposed union high school plan
has made the change seem desirable;
and if it is made, Gladstone highschool,
pupils will attend the Oregon City
highschool.
Say, Mr. Farmer, winter is coming
on and you will be interested in local
questions, eh? Take the Courier a
