OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1916
We strongly commend the
work of Gilbert L. Hedges, Dis
trict Attorney, and urge his re
election. He has vigorously
prosecuted the keepers of the
Hotel Belle and Friars Club and
has been successful in his ef
forts to give the good citizens of
Milwaukie a more decent gov
ernment, and we hope voters of
the entire county will assist us
here in Milwaukie by voting for
Gilbert L. Hedges, District At
torney. G. C. PELTON,
Mayor of Milwaukie.

ment and 316 YES to the prohibition
amendment.
Did you ever meet a red-blooded
man who, down in his gizzard, really
loved the city? The Optimist picked
up Robert W. Services little poem,
"I'm Scared of it All," and his blood
tingled in sympathy as he read:
"l watch the wan races that flash in
the street;
All kinds and all classes I see.
Yet never a one in the million I meet
Has the smile of a comrade for me.
Just jaded and panting like dogs in
a pack;
Just tensed and intent on the goal;
0 God! but I'm lonesome I wish I
was back
Up theve in the land of the Pole."
The present political campaign re
minds the leader of Pat's first day's
hunting experience. lie said: "The
first burd I ever shot was a squirrel.
the furrst time I hit him I missed
him altogether, and the next toime I
struck him in the same place. Thin
I took a stone and dhropped him from
the three and he fill intil the strame
and was drowndead, and that wuz the
firrst burrd I iver shot."
I have slept on the silent trails
under the gleaming stars of the sub
Arctic northland, miles from the
haunts of men, and have never felt
a thrill of loneliness. I have joined
in the canoe song of the Canadian
voyageur on the deserted, watery
pathways that slipped ever towards
the silent shores of Hudson's bay, and
had no longing for the rush and war-

ner in the late lamented street pa
rade look strong like pink tea.
Another banner bore these words:
"Textile workers in America are the
highest paid in the world." Wouldn't
that make you laugh? Here a few
years ago, when our friends, Oscar
Underwood et al, were engaged in
passing the Underwood tariff law, we
heard the most hideous moaning in
the republican camp. Investigation
proved the moans Vo be fearful state
ments that the tariff revision down
ward would kill the wool market and
would ruin the manufacture of tex
tiles in this glorious land of the free
and the brave. And here, less than
four years later, we find the republi
cans themselves giving the lie to their
tearful statement by telling us that
textile labor in America is the highest
paid in the world. How horrible, that
our native land should enjoy such re-
markablo prosperity!
Another banner asking: "U. h. or
Economy Through Quality
$7
Mexico Which?" had just started on
its gay rampage down the street when
it suddenly collapsed and had to be
discarded on a side street. Too weak
and ashamed of itself to support it
self! An issue that wasn't strong
enough to stand upon its own worth
'it had to collapse!
And then we followed the flock of
followers down Main street to Busch's
hall to hear Mrs. E. B. Hanley. Mrs.
Hanley told us in a right outspoken
way that no item of constructive leg
islation had been passed in ever so
many decades that was not the work
of the republican party. Of course,
the constructive legislation that she
could not deny to President Wilson's
administration she pictured as fear
fully bad. There is. the child labor
law. Naturally, being a constructive
law, the republicans fathered it. But
the Adamson eight-hour law no
good, absolutely worthless!
Goodness, but these rabidly par
tisan republicans are patriotic, con
structive people! If they are not
that, then they are funny, for they
furnished so much amusement to hun
dreds of people on Thursday evening
that the moving picture shows wer
nearly deserted until Mrs. Hanley
started to talk.
whether I lived or died, and cared
less, I felt the most poignant pain of
my lifetime the real simon pure
homesickness. Like Service I could
say:
"I wish I was back on the Hunger
Plateaus,
And seeking the lost caribou;
I wish I was up where the Coppermine
flows
To the kick of my little canoe.
I'd like to be far on some weariful
shore
In the land of the Blizzard and
Bear;
Oh, I wish I was snug in the Arctic
once more,
For I know that I'm safer up there!
'I prowl in the canyons of dismal
unrest;
I cringe I'm so week and so small.
I can't get my bearings, I'm crushed
and oppressed
With the hast and the waste of
it all.
The slave and the madman, the lust
and the sweat,
The fear in the faces I see;
The getting, the spending, the fever,
the fretr
Its too bleeding cruel for me."
read:
"What effect did the ten command
ments have upon the Children of Is-
rael?"
Tommy answered
"The ten commandments made the
Children of Israel feel very misera
ble.',
A New York divine asks the ques
tion: "Why do men not go to church?
He quotes all sorts of answers in re
ply, nearly all of which are lies. The
church has not lost its grip. There
is a larger per centage of the popu
lation of the land in the church today
tnan ever before. Atheists of the
Ingersoll type have a slighter follow
ing than at any time in the world's
history. But the fact of the matter
is that the average man who is not
living right is too big a coward can
didly to face himself as he really 13,
and it he goes to church he is com
pelled to acknowledge some salutary
out unpleasant truths. Who wants
to know what a measly crook he is if
he can delude himself into thinking
that he is a mighty good fellow by
ret using to tace the facts candidly?
The other day the Optimist picked
up a creed that appealed to him. Here
it is:

the community, spiritually, mentallv,
physically.
I believe in a church which lives
and enjoys not just endures its re

Special Officer Says Tots Interfere
With Parade of His Party
Because he was of the opinion that
three little boys, carrying a picture
of Woodrow Wilson, had no right on
main street last Thursday evening
while the republican rally was being
hold, 1. C. Burk, a special officer ap
pointed to serve for the evening, ar
rested the little fellows long enough
to destroy their banner and reprimand
them for their actions.
The little fellows were marching
along the street, cheering occasion
ally for the president, when they were
halted by the officer, their banner
torn up and orders given to them to
cease their interest in President Wil
son while the republican rally was in
progress. A number of citizens
threatened action against Mr. Burk
because of his unwarranted interfer
ence, inose wno saw 111s action say
that tho little boys were orderly and
not even interfering with the street
parade. Burk is an ardent supporter
of Candidate Hughes.

Mr. Cottrell Denounces Sunday Law
And Asks for its Repeal
"If the Sunday forced rest law is
equitable, then it should be enforced
to the letter; but if in its analysis it
is found to be discriminatory or re
ligious in character, then it is un
American and' should be repealed,"
said H. W. Cottrell, secretary of the
North Pacific Religious Liberty asso
ciation, author and lecturer, in an ad
dress at Willamette hall last night.
"The Sunday blue law," said Mr.
Cottrell, "prohibits the following
named places of business and plea
sure from opening: any store, shop,
grocery, bowling alley, billiard room,
or tippling house, for the purpose of
J labor or traffic, or any place of amuse
ment, except theaters, drug stores,
doctors' offices, undertakers, livery
stable keepers, butchers and bakers
"It is universally conceded in courts
of equity that one's property cannot
be wrenched from him by any muni
cipal, state or national right, without
first giving him value received there
for. To illustrate: if a man owns a
spring of excellent water situated on
a hill above the city, and its use is de
sired to meet the need of the mutli
tude and the owner refuses to sell the
right for its use, the city of course
proceeds to take it by the due process
of law; but gives value received for
that taken from him by civil force.
"It is not an invasion of the rights
of a man who desires to rest on Sun
day or Saturday for another man to
use the day in pleasure for himself
and family, or in labor for their sup
port. Any kind of labor or pleasure
that is proper to engage in on other
days of the week is just as proper to
do on Sunday, unless the legislation
is in the interests of the day as a re
ligious institution. And if the legis
lation is in the interest of the day as
a religious institution, it is fundamen
tally wrong and un-American. Such
law is not only class, but sectarian
and religious as well.
"American laws are for the pro
tection of the rights of all the peo
ple for the protection of the weak
against the strong; for the protection
of the minority against the majority.
"Sunday legislation is in the inter
est of those who regard the day re
ligiously, and against those who do
not thus regard it; hence it is class
legislation.
"The federal constitution says,
'Congress shall make no laws re
specting the establishment of religion,
proniDiung tne tree exercise
thereof.' First amendment.
"Every citizen who loves his own
liberty of choice to rest on Sunday or
Saturday should equally respect the
right of choice of other men who
choose not to rest any particular dav
of the week.
CATTLE RUN LIGHT
Receipts at Portland Yards arc Slow.
Hog Yards Have Live Session
Cattle receipts at Portland Monday
were the lightest for several months,
there being only 750 head received.
Buyers had good orders and the mar
ket opened briskly. The run as a rule
was ordinary, there being about six
loads of prime cattle here; prices
ruled 10 to 15 cents higher on most
sales, although there were several
loads of ordinary steers that went
across the scales early on steady
basis. Prime heavy steers sold at $7
for several loads, against $6.85 top
last week; there were a uurriber of
other loads of prime steers sold from
$6.50 to $6.75; good steers sold from
$6 to $6.25, with poor and ordinary
stuff going from $5 to $5.75. A few
head of prime heifers brought $5.50,
but the bulk of best cows sold at
$5.25, with one load at $5.35; good
cows sold from $4.75 to $5.25. Feed
ers sold at $6 with the bulk of good
ones going from $5.25 to $5.75.
One of the most lively sessions
held in "the hog yards this year was
staged Monday morning. There was
but a moderate run offered and prime
hogs were 10 to 15 cents higher over
last week's close.
Sheep receipts continue very light
with all classes in good demand.
Choice lambs quoted $8.50 to $8.75,
best yearlings $7.50 to $7.75, with
good mutton ewes at $6.

A large crowd attended the debate

YOU DON'T WANT DRUGS
We realized a long time ago that the American people were Iearn
ning to discriminate between drugs and medicinea. We welcomed,
the change. It always went -against our grain to sell patent cure
alls about which we knew nothing. But we had to do it because of
public demand and until the public met us half way. Then we se
cured the privilege of selling a line of real remedies, which cannot be
sold by any other druggist in this community. To get these reme
dies we joined forces with more than 800 of the leading druggists
in the United States, Canada and Great Britain, in a co-operative
in the United States, Canada and Great Britain, in a co-operative com
pany, to manufacture Rexall Remedies. Below are some of them reproduced.
Let us tell you why we believe in Rexall Remedies why an honest
prescription for a particular ill is better than any old-fashioned cure,
all. Ask us to show you the formula of the remedy in which you are
interested. There are no secrets about Rexall Remedis.
We'll Give You a Bottle Free
If you can ask us a question that we can't answer honestly and look
you straight in the eye while we're talking. Try Rexall Remedies at
our risk. If you use any Rexall Remedy and are not satisfied, come
back and get your money. We'll return it without question. We're
