OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1917 3 4I f NEW ALIGNMENT SEEN Open Letter to Party Says Socialism , is Religious Unit In a former letter the statement was made that the socialist party was dead. In order to substantiate that dec laration look at the vote at the last election. Socialism, or the cooperat ive commonwealth, is a part of the brotherhood of man and not an ex clusive organization. We are enter ing an age of man in advance of any thing in recent history. The co-operative commowealth was a vision of man's brotherhood by natural instinct. The cooperative commonwealth ap peared to the consciousness of men, ' who by agreement named it such, but it could be even more now under its new name. Socialism is more of a part of Christianity than it is a political pol cy. A man (or woman) gets his government at the same place he gets his knowledge of right and wrong-, viz, his consciousness, and his gov ernment is a part of his religion. This is a fact, and analyze it from any standpoint you choose. Socialism is a part of our religion and should be taught as a part of the world's broth erhood or as a part of Christianity that the modern church has left out by the most fatal mistake that the church ever made. Statistics show that the churches are as great a fail ure without socialism as socialism is without true Christianity. If the so calists fail to grasp this analysis, some other organization will and go before the people and win. All things point now to a new alignment along political lines and all old parties will go to the scrap heap of a dead past.

CROSS & SON change taking place in the minds of the people and take advantage of it. ' If socialism as a moral question comes before the people it is going to win, when if it should come before the people with a platform a mile long begging for votes in order to get the fat offices and salaries it will lose out and should. N Man was put here on earth with a good set of brains run by a power of consciousness through which he gets his religion, his government and his life. He has built up too many ex pensive institutions and given them too much authority over the individ ual. We have now too many pro fessional advice-givers, who are al most as foolish as the people who take it. God did not intend man to get his religion and politics ready made by professional salary grabbers, but to use the intellect God gave him. Individuality contains genius when properly developed under good envi ronment. Under modern Christianity as it is taught mankind is no nearer brotherhood than it was when Jesus was sent to earth to teach "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Man." Money has corrupted our religion, our gov ernment and our morals and now we have an immense amount of vice and advice. No man is superior and no man is inferior, but mankind s a brotherhood. P. W.

F. J. MEYER, Cashier OPEN 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. THE MIS" The temptation to rush the seasons is very strong at this time of the year when in every window we see displays of straw hats and spring frocks and suits. One must be very strong-minded to refrain from blos soming forth into a spring hat with so many on show, but the weather is forbidding and those of us who are endowed with a sense cf the fitness of things will abstain yet a while, guided by our better judgment. Some of the hats combine straw and fine felt, or straw and' satin, others are entirely of straw trimmed with flowers or ribbon, and a great many are of crepe. An almost brim less, rather high-crowned little hat was fashioned entirely of narrow rib bon interlaced, giving the impression of straw, at a distance. It was of narrow blue ribbon with a tiny red border on either side. The trimming was a bunch of red cherries placed on the left side of the crown. Another hat with a small upturned brim was of white silk covered entirely with machine stitching worked in a close allover design. Machine stitching is also very popular just now as a dec oration for suits and dresses, there- fore it is not surprising to find it on hats. ' , Some New Suits Very snappy are the new suits with their hip-length coats. The box coat in the sketch is one of the new mod els. The pleated pockets and cuffs tell at once that this is a 1917 design, for box coats have never before had such frivolous pockets. Coats of Dnght colors such as green, rose, Ynarigold, citron or purple accompany white skirts which are either plain, or else spotted or striped with the col or of the coat. Some of the skirts are made from bordered material with the border at the lower edge and the top laid in pleats. In some of these. the designs are embroidered instead of printed. The designs are general ly large dots or squares worked two or three striking colors or in a solid color with black or a contrast ing shade used to outline the motif, Jersey, and Still More Jersey Jersey keeps at the height of pop ularitv and is now combined with other materials. A suit of citron- colored wool jersey was made with white pique collar. The collar was. of course, detachable so that it could be removed and laundered with ease, In another instance, wool jersey was combined with gabardine very pleas ingly. The suit was of purple jersey, and tan gabardine fashioned the large collar and revers that went the length of the coat. The cuffs and pocket- laps were also of the tan gabardine. Irish crochet as a dress trimming has been revived again. The idea was brought from Paris very recent ly. On a dress of white Georgette there were large pockets of Irish crochet lace, and an edging to match finished the large bertha on the waist. Dresses of white serge also begi to make their appearance. Some very attractive models are seen, bright ened here and there with touches of Oriental embroideries. The sleeveless jumper ie another new departure to which women have taken kindly.- It slips on over the head and is worn on the outside of the skirt on the order of the favored Russian blouses. The accompanying sketch shows one of these jumpers de- 1 illM f 1 veloped in the new dotted fabrics. The jumper is worn over a plain blouse and a box-pleated skirt. It has new U-shaped pockets and the waistline in defined by a narrow belt. Clothes for Small Children Clothes for very little tots show some very interesting points. For the tiny girl's party frocks there are the daintiest of white net frocks all fluffy with frills and narrow pink and blue ribbons. Alternate rows of pale pink and, blue used around the bot tom of a pleated white net frock give a most fascinating effect. There are frocks of silk, voile and fine linen, too, for the little ones. These are trimmed with fine hand embroidery, Irish crochet lace or smocking, which is often developed in colors. The combination of white soutache braid with band embroidery on a fine white linen dress is quite novel and very effective. The small boy is not forgotten while dainty things are being pre pared for his little sister. For his social duties there are little suits of white moire -with short pockets and colored vests. The vest and collar may be of pink, green, blue or yel low moire. These suits of silk are all very well for parties, but for school they are made -of colored linens; pop lin, rep and chambray. With slip-on middy jackets or manly little Norfolk coats are the suits of this type. DOES WAR BREED CRIMINALS Writer Sees Need of Civilizing Influ ence of Broad Minded People . Clackamas, Rt. 1, Feb. 25, 1917. the editor: To Doesn't war breed criminals? Children that are born of parents who are at war would have a natural ten dency to kill. Now, I do not want to cast any slur on our soldiers, for really believe there are a lot of m who, if left to their natural instincts, would rather do anything than to kill their fellow man. How ever, if war was waged between two nations, would it not have a tendency breed hate ? And hate once es tablished leads to crime. One human creature may or might hate another without cause, for hate once estab lished in the heart is apt to blind the reason. And if hate is born in the heart it might grow to an unreason able fury and do harm to innocent people. I wonder if that isn t what is the matter with Europe. An ambitious man or. woman with hate in their heart might draw the whole world in to war and slaughter millions of in nocent people, until that fury and hate would in time swallow up itself and old Beelzebub get his dues. It is good for every man or woman to take a good look at him or herself. Each life or soul born into this, world has untold possibilities. We surely do not want to be criminals. There may be times when man or woman might be forced to kill his fellow man, hut. nsimllv it pould be avoided with little intelligent persuasion. Whatl j . , this old world needs is more love. I do not mean the kind of love that would lead a man or woman to desert their little children and home for someone else. The love we need Is men and women who can go out among the people and teach the young people what civilization really means to humanity men and women who can teach that hate, jealousy, envy, greed, are but the low base nature of the brute creature. And a truly civ ilized man will rise above this low base nature. I know there is not one human creature that likes to be called low and base. It is that love for the good and beautiful that makes the people grow .better. And what this old world needs is more love, more good com mon sense, good judgment and peoptsi who know how to live without mak ing slaves out of their f ellowmen. We do not want to go back into ignor ance, where might of brute force rules. Else the lion tears us to piec es. Even a lion can be taught what love really is. The greatest men this old world ever had were men who loved their fellowmen men who could rise above that low base nature of jealousy, en vy and hate men who understand that hard work develops muscle and brain and brings this old world un der cultivation, and makes it yield up to humanity the necessities of life. It 'is the' honest, hard working men and women with love in their hearts that do things worth whiles and ev eryone can be one of them. MRS. VIOLA BURR.

The controversy began when the mills which had been manufacturing paper for domestic consumption de cided to raise their price on all new contracts. The newspapers protested and brought pressure on the govern ment to require the mills to furnish paper at the old price. The mills then called attention to the fact that some paper mills had been manufacturing entirely for the home market, some had been manu facturing partly for the home market and partly for export, while a num ber of mills had recently been built in Canada solely for the export trade. The" mills making paper for domestic consumption raised the point that the burden of supporting the Canadian newspapers should be distributed equally among all mills in Canada. This last is the plan which has been adopted. Each newspaper mill in Canada will be required to contrib ute its proportion of the Canadian de mands, its proportion being based on the output of each mill. It has not been learned what effect the government action will hove on the mills at Ocean Falls and Powell River, B. C, operated by the Crown Willamette interests and which give employment to many former Oregon City people. SOME GOOD ADVICE Strengthened by Oregon City Exper iences Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of back ache, headache, dizziness or urinary disorders, you should give the weak ened kidneys prompt atention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a reliable kidney tonic. There's no other reliable kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan s Kidney Pills. Oregon City people rely on them. Here's one of the many statements from Oregon City people. Mrs. John Beers, 416 Water St., says: "I am ready to confirm at any time what I said in my former state ment regarding my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. I still consider them the only medicine for kidney trouble. I take Doan's whenever necessary and they always do good." me Price 50c, at all dealers.

A portion of the project lies on the south bank of the Columbia river, which affords water transportation. The lands of the project are rolling in character and the soils are sandy loams. Climatically the region is adapted to the growing of alfalfa, fruits, berries and vegetables. The average value of all irrigated crops on the project in 1915 yas $20 per acre. Farm units average about 40 acres each, the irrigation of which is pro vided for by the irrigation system re cently completed.

More Mills There Incomplete reports received from the sawmills of the country indicate a probable lumber production in the United States approximately 11.2 per cent greater in 1916 than in 1915, ac cording to an announcement mare Monday by the forest service. This estimate is based on preliminary fig ures compiled in connection with the collection of sawmill statistics in co operation with the Nationul Lumber Manufacturers' association. About 32,000 sawmills are on the mailing list of the Washington office of the service and Beveral thousand more on the lists of the six district offices in the western states. Of the mills In the eastern part of the country, ap proximately 65 per cent had reported up to February 15. The following table gives the re ported cut of lumber in 1915 and 1916 for 704 identical sawmills, arranged by principal producing states. Each one of these mills cuts more than five million feet of lumber in either 1916 or the preceding year. Oregon has 51 lumber mills listed and the 1916 cut was 1,381,634 M. feet, an increase of 14.6 per cent over 1915, when the cut was 1,205,712 M. faet. The Washington cut for 1916 was 2,828,501, more than double the cut in Oregon. Washington, how ever, has 97 mills, while Oregon has but 51 listed. Casper Hofer Missing Sheriff W. J.
