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.

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-

"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

has himself been married three times.

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"

egg, filled with soldiers, for the others
to see. -' "And look here I" almost

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

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." George

GREAT IS HUMBUG
Greater is Truth. We will Let in the
Light on This Business.
(Here is Wm. M. 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.

M. E. 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.
