BROWNELL'S RECORD IS FOR THE PEOPLE This man was a member of thi State Senate from Clackamas County for twelve years, and his record wat exceedingly good. The State Journal of 1901, at page 45, shows that he wa the man who fought through the Leg lslature what was known as the Initi ative Resolution amending the Con stitution of the state, which changei our whole form and system of govern ment. It was through his influence more than any other one man in Ore gon, that the old ' political machim was destroyed and put out of busi ness. Under this new system ha; come the popular election of Unitet States Senators at the ballot box, tht Primary nomination law and all othe legislative reforms. All through his service in the Senate he was a strong advocate of Woman's Suffrage. To show the esteem that the peoplt had of him, and the influence that he exercised, he was elected Presiden. of the Senate in 1903. When Presi dent Roosevelt came here in 1903, hi was selected by unanimous vote of both Houses of the Legislature to de liver the address of welcome to the President. He is a candidate in the Republican Primaries for one of the Representatives from Clackamas County to the Legislature, which meets January, 1917. The nomina tions occur in Clackamas County on the 19th day of May, 1916, in the Pri maries. In his platform he favors good roads, lower taxation and he pledges himself to the people of this county that if elected, he will vote and work to abolish the numerous Commissions that are costing this 'state about $1,000,000 each year to maintain. He also favors and will introduce into the legislature and fight for to the bitter end, a law in favor of the people elect ing their own Road Supervisors in the different Road Districts of the Coun ty, and favoring three County Com missioners for three Districts, one Commisioner to be in the north half, and one in the south and east halves, and the other in the west half on the west side of the Willamette river. On account of his large experience in the Senate his services would be in valuable to the taxpayers and the people generally of this county, and for that reason, if for no other, he ought to be nominated in the Pri maries on May 19th, 1916. He is an able man and should be nominated if the people want good service and want results, because it is generally con ceded, by his enemies as well as his friends, that he knows how to do things and how to produce results. (Paid Adv.) OLD PACIFISTS FOUND Blackfoot Indian Has Right Idea of Keping War from the Home The wife'3 mother must never come face to face with her son-in-law, and both must use every honorable means to avoid meeting at any place after the marriage has taken place, accord ing to a tribe law of the Blackfeet Indians, Sergeant William Dubey, an old Indian fighter of the United States Marine Corps, now retired, told comrades of the George F. Elliott Children's ;6astereggsS CHE Plnkerton children were feel ing very excited. It was East er Saturdny. and mother was ' taking them out to buy some Easter eggs. She hud given them each 50 cents and told them tlic.v could buy whatever eggs they liked themselves. And so, talking of their plans, Molly, Frank and Jack kept running on In front of mother to have more time to look Into the shop windows und run ning back again to her to tell her what they had seen. "Boys," said Molly as they neared the corner of the street, "we mustn't forget Tinker's penny, must we?" Tinker was a blind man's dog. The blind man always took up his stand on the very same corner, and the chil dren never passed him without putting a penny la Tinker's can. The blind man got to know their footsteps quite well and. always looked forward to ex changing greetings with them. Tinker knew his little friends, too, and when they drew near be would strain at his lead, making frantic efforts to get loose and run to meet them. It was Molly's turn to give the blind man a penny that morn lug, so she made her way to where the blind man was seated. But be was all alone. There was no Tinker there! "Where's Tinker?" the three children asked as If In one breath. "Oh, don't tell us you've lost him!" Molly said. The old man shook his head, and they noticed how sad he looked. "Bless you, dears," he said, "It wouldn't be easy to lose Tinker; he never leaves my side. No, It's worse than that!" "What is It? Please tell us," said Frank. "Tinker's 111," said the blind man. "Why not send him to the vet.?" ask ed Frank. . The blind man shook bis bead In a pitiful way. "I've no money to py for vets., I haven't. He'd charge a dollar and a half." The children looked at each other In dismay. Was dear little Tinker to be killed because bis master had no mon ey to pay to get him well again? What a dreadful shame it seemed! "We've a dollar and a half between us," Frank Said. "Yes. it would just do It," said Molly. "Let's ask mother if we can give the money to him," said Jack. . And together they ran back to moth er with their request. Mother thought a few moments be fore replying, and then: , "Do you realize what this will mean, children?" she asked. "There'll be no Easter eggs for you this year If you give your money away." Molly couldn't help thinking for just a minute of the beautiful chocolate egg she had promised herself, and the buys thought of the eggs they were to have bought, too, but they quickly put all such thoughts out of their minds. The PInkertons found things rather dull on Easter Monday. Just then- there was a ring at the doorbell. The children ran to the nur-. sery window to see who it could be. A taxi bad drawn up at the curb and who was that getting out of it? Why, no one else but Uncle Joe! "How Jolly l" said Jack. "Let's run down and see him." Uncle Joe. was a good sort. He romped with them as if he were a child himself and was al ways making up all sorts of new games for them to play. "Let's play 'Indians,' " suggested Frank when the children had succeed- if 4 !.

"And yet the plain Indian is point ed out as a horrible example of sav agery," Dubey went on. "No sir, the Blackfoot is' the origmal pacifist and the mother-in-law custom proves it." Sergeant Dubey, United States Ma rine Corps, retired, admits that he has himself been married three times. The ravages of the foot-and-mouth disease are over, says the government. So is another fight won by your Uncle Sam, who is busy all the time. ed In coaxing their uncle to come oat into the garden with them. "No," said Uncle Joe, "Tve thought of a much nicer game for you than that." He was very mysterious about It and made them go Indoors while he got things ready. In about five min utes he called them out again. "I've hidden some 'secrets' In this garden," he said. "The game Is that you've to look for them and whatev er you find you may keep." "I say I" called out Frank the next minute. "Just look what I've got" And be held out a large toy Easter egg, filled with soldiers, for the others to see. -' "And look here I" almost Bhrleked Molly in her excitement "I've found a chocolate egg filled with creams. Just like the one I had meant to get." And then Jack found a box full of tiny eggs just behind a laurel bush. You can imagine how pleased he was. ( The children found lots of other eggs besides. It was a curious thing, though, that Molly had found exactly the egg she had wanted, and so had Frank, and so had Jack. They asked Uncle Joe If he could ex plain it, but he couldn't and no one else could. "I'm so glad we gave our money for Tinker," said Molly later on. "But Isn't It lovely to have had those scrumptious Easter eggs tool" Immortality It Is a thing to be thankful for that twentieth century thinking and twen tieth century science are confirming, cumulatively, the dictum of Christian authority that the soul of man is im mortal. To assert nowadays lhat the universe is the outcome of chance is to array oneself against the world's best thought To affirm that the uni verse Is reasonable means, in the last analysis, "that the world acts as it might be expected to act had It been thought through by mind."

Stone's "booze" advertisement, publish ed in the Enterprise on the 14th of this month and repeated, with slight variations, in all of the County Papers:) BOOZE! Voters Attention! The Booze Trust is dying hard. It is spending thousands of dollars to defeat certain men for Dis trict Attorney in every county Of the State. Why ? The whis key distillers and brewers want boot-legging. There is big money in it for them. They think that if the law is not en forced they can boot-leg at will, people will get disgusted and want to repeal the prohibition law, and then the triumph of Booze will come. I am the mark for attack by numerous horse-flies that populate the stables of the Booze Trust. These mongrels have not hesi tated at forgery and perjury. If you elect me District Attor ney I shall see that the boot legger gets his. I shall enforce the prohibition law to the letter. WM. M. STONE. (Below is Wm. M. Stone's "booze" OPINION, as City At torney of Oregon City, filed with the Recorder and published in the Courier, April 25th, 1913.) To the Honorable Mayor and the City Council: Gentlemen: The three saloon keepers who lost their licenses, in Oregon City, to sell intoxicating liquor, can dispose of the same under their government licenses, in quantities of not less than one gallon, nor more than four and seven-eighths gallons. This is regulated by the Federal Stat utes, and the city has nothing to say as to the sale and disposal of liquor under these govern ment licenses, as long as the parties did not sell in quantities less than one gallon. They are entirely within the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Respectfully submitted, WM. M. STONE. Our city charter lays down the booze regulations and restrictions about as tight and carefully as any charter Can, and William Stone brushes them aside in 12 eight-point, 13-em lines. Why don't we have him abolish the Legislature while he has his abolish ing suit on, and save Oregon a heap of money ? Honestly, fellows, what do you think of the booze "opinion?" Have we a legal genius on the city staff, or had we better call in the lunacy commission? Under this opinion any grocery store, pool room, moving picture store, millinery store, Woman's club, or any other concern, can pay $25 for a gov ernment license and start a four-quart wet goods emporium in connection. Any person can take out a goverment license and peddle booze in gallon quantities. No use having local option laws or voting on saloons, for the present saloons will pay the government $25, save $975 and change over into four quart dispensaries. - Booze will be more plenty than pure water in Oregon City, Rush the ele vator so the boys can have the goods sent up. It is hard to believe a man appointed to the important position of City Attorney could find such a basis for such an opinion in law. A government licence isn't a license. It is more a fine.. It is'a tax. It simply says to a man give Uncle Sam $25 and he won't arrest him for selling liquor, but he must take his chances with the state, county and city. That is all there is to a government license. As Mr. Stone says, the saloons, which the city council refused to grant licenses because they had been arrested and convicted of violating the city laws, may continue to sell booze, with the difference that they must now sell four-quarts instead of four sups. . Their punishment Ts that they may sell booze but more of it and at a less expense. The liquor interests are not spending any money to DEFEAT men who render such official opinions as the above. "Enforcement of the prohibition law to the letter" means little when one INTERPRETS the law to mean nothing. 1 am sure it is possible to have economy and efficiency in the District Attorney's office and to make it, at the pa me time, a pronounced factor in maintaining the moral tone of the community.

CHURCH NOTES Passion Week is a busy week for Oregon City Methodists. Monday night a happy company of young peo ple went to Canemah to visit Winnie Smith, who has been ill for several weeks. She residei with her aunt, Sarah Dickerson. The party was planned by Miss Mina McDonald, in charge of the Mercya nd Help De partment of the Epworth League. Refreshments were served and good cheer dispensed, which did more gpod than medicine. Mrs. Mary Echison, 512 Seventh street entertained the Cottage Prayer Meeting Circle Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was well attended and more than pleased the pastor, who made his first visit to this group of workers. It is the purpose to take the meetings to homes on invitation, and to especially bring hope and good cheer to the sick and shut-ins. Tuesday night fourteen persons in a body attended the big International Holiness Revival Meeting now on in Portland, where Rev. Will H. Huff, the evangelist, is preaching nightly. All returned in high praise of the ser mon. Wednesday night was the first meeting of the Bibles tudy class with twenty enrolled as a started. The pas (Following is the comment of M. J. Brown, then editor of the Courier, on Wm. M. Stone's "booze" OPINION, published in the Courier April 25th, 1913.) Biff! Talk about going SOME! Some is a real slow one. Judge Landis jumped into national fame in one day when he fined the Standard Oil Co. $29,000,000. City Attorney William Stone has him run way back in the brush. "THE CITY HAS NOTHING TO SAY AS TO THE SALE AND DISPOSAL OF LIQUOR UNDER THESE GOVERNMENT LICENSES SO LONG AS THE PARTIES DO NOT SELL IN QUANTITIES LESS THAN ONE GALLON." Away goes Congress! And with it goes Lord's Oregon Laws! Closely behind is the Oregon Legis lature! And the Oregon City charter is at the tail of the procession. All gone, brushed off the U. S. by one great opinion of William Stone, C T. Thta Will either put him up beside Chief Justice Holmes or make him Oregon's state jester. This is some opinion, and it just can't die a natural death. If it sticks (of course it will be carried to. the U. S. Supreme Court) better have a row-boat ordered for you will see some WET old times in Oregon. The last Congress passed a law making it criminal to ship liquor into dry territory and according to Mr. . Stone's edict THERE WONT BE ANY DRY TERRITORY. Some smart Alec will take up a government license in Kansas, and the work of John P. StJohn and Carrie Nation will have been for naught. Our last Legislature passed a law that the possession of a government license was prima facie evidence that a man was a "blind pig" operator, when he had not a county or state li cense. And William Stone has blowed away the Legislature. Lord's Oregon Laws plainly say what shall and what shall not be done . in the booze way, and provide the penalties, but Lord's overcoat wouldn't make Stone a vest pattern. Away go Lord's. Thursday and S Friday a tor has charge of this class, and in vited any who would like this work to join. Visitors are welcome at any meeting. The anniversary of Christ's Cruci fixion will be observed with an appro priate and impressive service Friday night at 7:30. The service will be largely musical, with a ful choir in charge. The pastor will deliver a short address on events of the mem orable Good Friday. The Easter Sunday services will begin with a sun rise meeting at 6 A. M., with the pastor in charge. The children of the Sunday School will entertain with recitations, dia logues and songs at the regular Sun day School hour, 10:00 A. M. At 11 o'clock, the hour of the regu lar preaching service, a special pro gram of music will be the order, The pastor will preach briefly on the sub ject, "Immortality." There will be no appeals for money, and only a little time given to notices, so the whole service can be given to the observance of this great day. service at 3 o'clock. The pastor will preach again at the 7:30 P. M. Bervice on a live theme, when again there will be special musical selections in keping with the message and the spirit of the day.
