OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 19ll 3 HIS SATANIC MAJESTY -HANDS PALM TO KAISER The following interesting letter, published for the first time in the Willamette valley, was handed to The Courier by E. W. Randolph of this city. The letter is the work of Louis Syberkrop of Ottumwa, Iowa, and such men as Secretaries Josephus Daniels and Tumulty, and Theodore Roosevelt made personal requests for copies of it: "To Wilhelm von . Honhenzollern, King of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany and Envoy Extraordi nary of Almighty God: "By Dear Wilhelm: "I can call you by that familiar name for I have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know. "From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your moth er's womb I have shaped your des tiny for my own purpose. "In the days pf Rome I created a roughneck known in history as Ne ro. He was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that particu lar time. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient super criminal was needed, and as I know the Hohenzollorn blood, I picked you as my special instrument to place on earth an annex of hell. I gave ab normal ambition, likewise an over supply of egotism that you might not discover your own failings; I twisted your mind to that of a mad man with certain normal tendencies to carry you by; a most dangerous character placed in power; I gave you the power of a hypnotist and certain magnetic force that you may sway your people. I am re sponsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embitters .your life and destroys all noble im pulses that might otherwise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity; I placed in your, soul a deep hatred of all things English, for of all nations on earth I hate England most; wherever England flies her flag she 'brings order out of chaos and the hated cross follows the Union Jack; under her rule wild tribes become tillers of the soil and in due time practical citizens; she is the great civilizer of the globe and I hate her. I planted in your soul a cruel ha tred for your mother because she was English and left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flame I had kindled. Recent history proves how well our work was done. It broke your royal mother's heart, but I gained my purpose. "The inherited disease Hohenzollerns killed your of the father, just as it will kill you, and you be came the ruler of Germany and a tool of mine sooner than I expect ed. "To assist you and further hast en my work I sent you three evil spirits, Nietzsche, Treitschke ,and and later Bernhardi, whose teach ings inflamed the youths of Ger many, who in good time would be willing and loyal subjects and eager to spin tneir mood and pull your chestnuts, yours and mine; spell has been perfect you your ambitious eyes toward Mediterranean, Egypt, India the cast the and the Dardanelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious archduke and his more ambitious wife stood in your way. It was then that I sowed the seed-in your heart that blossomed into the assassinationpf the duke and his wife and all I hell smiled when it saw how cleverly you saddled the crime on Servia. I saw you set sails for Norway and I knew you would prove an alibi. How cleverly done, so much like your noble grand father, who also secured an assas sin to remove old King Frederick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two provinces that gave Germany an opportunity to become a naval power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes a Hohenzollern to make a way and get by. "Your opportunity was at hand; you set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing; your rape on Belgium caused much joy, it was the beginning, the foundation of a perfect hell on earth, the destruc tion of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of art was hailed with joy in the infernal regions. You made war on friends and foe alike and the murder of civilians showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your treachery toward neutral nations hastened a universal upheaval, the thing I most desired. Your under sea warfare is a master stroke; from the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusitania you show no favorites; as a war lord you stand supreme for you have no mercy; you have no consideration for the baby clinging to its mother's breast as they both go down into the deep to gether, only to be torn apart and leisurely devoured by sharks down among the corals. "I have strolled over the battle fields of Belgium and France. I have seen your hand of destruction everywhere; it's all your work, super-fiend that I made you. I have seen the fields of Poland; now a wilderness fit for prowling beasts only; they all succumbed to frost and starvation I drifted ' down into Always Have PERUNA Mrs. L. A.

Galicia where formerly Jews and Gentiles lived happily together; I found but ruins and ashes; I felt a curious pride in my pupil for it was all above my expectation, I was in Belgium when you drove the peaceful population before you like cattle into slavery, you separated man and wife and forced them to hard labor in the trenches. I have seen the most selfish rape commit ted on young women and those who were forced into maternity were crushing the father of their off spring and I began to doubt if my own inferno -was really up-to-date. "You have taken millions of dol lars from innocent victims and call ed it indemnity; you have lived fat on the land you usurped and sent the real owners away to starvation. You have stayed away from all leg alized war methods and introduced a code of your own, You have kill ed and robbed the people of friendly nations and destroyed their proper ty. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a bluffer of the highest magnitude. You are a part of mine and yet you pose as a personal friend of God. Ah, Wilhelm, you are a wonder. You wantonly destroy all things in your-'path and leave nothing for coming generations. l "I was amazed when I saw you form a partnership with the impos sible Turk, the chronic killer of christians, and you a devote wor shipper in the Lutheran church. 1 confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times. . A Mohammedan army, commanded by German officers as sisting one another in massacreing christians is a new lane of warfare. When a Prussian officer can witness a nude woman being disembowled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder with one cut of his saber, and calmly stand by and see a house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you, but have been ex tended to the whole German nation. I confess my Satanic soul grew sick and there and then I knew the pu pil had. become the master.' I am a back number, and, my dear Wil helm, I abdicate in your favor. The great key of hell will be turn ed over to you. The gaval- that has struck the doom of damned souls since time began is yours. I . am satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the. very best interest of hell in the future I am at your majesty's service. "Affectionately and sincerely, Lucifer H. Satan." WIRES HAVE CALM HOUR AT TUESDAY GATHERING The Live Wires of the Oregon City Commercial club enjoyed, a quiet and peaceful session at their regular meeting on Tuesday noon. The matter of Clackamas county's part in raising war funds took up considerable time. A. C. Howland, chairman of the local Y. M. C. A. war fund committee, asked that at tention be given to the drive in this county next week and pointed out that Oregon City is to raise $1500 of the county's quota of $4000 of the $35,000,000 needed for the great war work of the Y. M. C. A. O. D. Eby called attention to the fact that the county is asked to contrib ute $1000 to the fund that will pro vide social centers for soldiers who are encamped in and near cities, an idea the government has for helping the soldiers to keep themselves away from vice. Dr. Roy Pruddon, transmission wire of the organiza tion, offered the use of the Presby terian church for a rally next week to help in raising the fund for so cial centers. Speakers at the meeting were Dr. S. W. Seeiman, new pastor of the First Presbyterian church, R. J. Werner, county agricultural agent and M. J. Lee of Canby. Mr. Wer ner told of plans for reclaiming about 2500 acres of waste lands in the county. M. J. Lee asked the approval of the Wires on a plan to operate a motor bus between Wood burn and Oregon City, pointing out that people in the towns between often had to wait two hours for trains. The proposed line would charge two cents a mile fare. No action was taken. A committee comprising Rev. C. H. L. Chandler, Judge G. B. Dimick, Raymond Caufield, L. A. Obst and C. Schuebel was appointed to take charge of a campaign 1 raise the county's quota of the fund for so cial center establishments. E. E. Brodie and C. W. Robey are members of a committee .to bring to the next meeting a copy of the city budget for the coming year and invite city officials, including Mayor E. C. Hackett, to attend the' meet ing and discuss the budget. M. J. Lee reported for the com mittee appointed to handle the ques tion of the erection of a new bridge over the river here. He told of the condition of the cables, of a visit to the county court, and of the court's plans to have the bridge in spected by the state engineer with instructions to report at the next budge meeting. If wo had to send our Thanksgiv ing turkey to the soldiers well, that's another matter!

Miner, formerly prin cipal of the Oregon City high school, and the man who attempted to bring untruthful charges against City School Superintendent F. J. Tooze, with the result that Mr. Miner had to resign his local position, ' has reached the end of his string in Cal ifornia, where his teaching certifi cate has been revoked by the school board. The board had proved to its own satisfaction that Miner had forged a letter of recommendation, accord ing to information submitted to Su perintendent Tooze late last week through the office of the Oregon state school superintendent. Miner was an applicant for the position of principal of the Napa high school and in order to promote his chances of obtaining the place he wrote a strong recommendation of himself on the stationery of the University of California, signing to the letter the name of Miss Pheney, who usually signs such letters when sent out by the university. Miner was cited for a hearing, but about the time the hearing was to take place the state board of edu cation received a letter signed by a San Francisco attorney, asserting that Miner had joined the aviation corps of the army and asking that the case be dropped. One of the members of the board had reason to believe that this statement was untrue. An investi gation showed that Miner was teaching in a private preparatory school in San Francisco. His li cense to teach was then revoked without further delay. He has ad mitted the forgery. The California board's resolution says: "Whereas, Claude G. Miner, hold er of a state high school credential granted by the state board of edu cation of California, on November 8, 1910, has been charged with im moral conduct consisting of the crime of forgery, and . "Resolved, that the said high school credential of Claude G. Min er be and is hereby revoked, and school officials of California and elsewhere are cautioned to accord no further recognition to this docu ment, should it be presented as a basis for certification as a teacher." DR. SEEMAN IS GUEST Brotherhood Adopts Resolution Favoring Strike Arbitration Dr. S. W. Seeman, new pastor of the First .Presbyterian church, was the guest of honor Monday night at a dinner and reception given by- the Men's club of the church. Dr. J. H. Wells, of Portland, spoke following the dinner and told of his life in Corea, where he was practicing his profession for a number of years. The chief business before the club was the adoption of a resolution in connection with the strike of paper mill employes. The resolution says: "Whereas, there are differences now existing between the Crown Willamette Paper Co., and the Haw ley Pulp & Paper Co., and their em ployes, therefore, be it "Resolved, by the Brotherhood of the First Presbyterian church of Oregon City, that we are in favor of and recommend that the differ ences now existing between the em ployers and employes be submitted to the state board of conciliation for adjustment, and we urge that the various churches and organizations in Oregon City unite in this re quest." It is said that a number of strik ers are members of the Men's club. COMPLAINT ALMOST GONE "Foley's Honey and Tar is great," writes L. W. Day, 65 Campbell Ave., E. Detroit, Mich. "It relieves bronchitis quickly. My complaint has almost gone and I hope never to have it again." The experience of thousands proves there is no better remedy for coughs, colds or croup. The genuine costs no more than sub stitutes, and this old reliable family cough medicine should be in every home every winter. Insist on Fol ey's Honey and Tar time tried and never failing.

Many Farms Have Spots Where Ani mals Could Be Accommodated and Prove Money-Making ' Proposition to Owner. "A herd of gonts will do more good In clearing up a brush patch than half a dozen able-bodied men," remarked a livestock feeder recently when at a market In quest of a load of goats to ship to his farm. At his farm In Wisconsin, h few years ago there were large patches of weeds and other foreign growth that he had tried In vain to clear. Many days of hard work were spent with out success. Finally he conceived the Idea that a flock of goats could do the work and do It better than human hands and at the same time consume what they cleared and return n profit to the owner. This Is an example that could be practiced more generally. Many farms have brush patches that could accom modate a flock of goats und prove a money-making proposition to the own er. The goat Is nn animal that can thrive on feeds that other animals could not. It has been remarked that gonts could live on tin cans, but some of the brush thnt they consume and turn into profit Is about as bad. Burn ing the brush Is a dead loss to the farm owner, but when he turns a flock Into that patch It does not take long to cut down the weeds and Instead of being a loss It Is a profit to the owner. Here Is a system practiced on many farms as a side line that farmers say Is the cheapest lubor on the furiu. In stead of being an expense It Is an Investment, as the animals can be taken from the patch and, without any additional feed, shipped to market and sold nt n profit. The market for goats has been such that they nearly always are worth what they cost In the start and the added weight Is what makes the money. Instead of paying for furm hands to rid your farm of weeds and foreign growth, use a flock of gonts and use the men In some other line where they can do more good. SWEET CLOVER MADE USEFUL Acre Crop Ordinarily Will Maintain 20 to 30 Shotes Has Many Other Uses. "An acre of sweet clover ordinarily will support 20 to 30 shotes. Many other uses for this erstwhile weed are told In Farmers' Bulletin No. 820, pub lished by the United States depart ment of agriculture. Stock may refuse to eat sweet clo ver at first, but If they are kept on the field for a few days they will soon develop a liking for It. It will fur nish as much pasture during the sea son as any other legume, with the pos sible exception of alfalfa. Sweet clover also makes a flrst clnss huy If It Is cut before It gets too coarse, and It is a remarkable soll bullder. It Is one of the best honey plants because of the large amount of nectar It produces. Beekeepers would do well to plant at least a small patch of It solely for honey purposes.

FIX PLACE FOR STRAWBERRY Worthy of Important Spot in Any Home Garden It Is the First Fruit to Ripen. The strawberry Is certainly worthy of n very Important place In any home orchard. It Is the first fruit to ripen generally and one of the best for home use and for the local market. It will grow on muny kinds of soil and endure extremes about ns well as any other fruit. It Is ready for the table nt a time when fruit of some kind Is highly desirable. Every home should have at least a small straw berry bed and many might find an acre or two profitable. . PLOWING TO DESTROY WEEDS Also Effective Means of Killing Many Kinds of Injurious Insects Improves the Soil Plowing Is an effective means of de itroylng weeds. It also destroys mony kinds of Injurious Insects which prey on farm crops. The Incorporation of manure and organic matter with the soil by plowing improves Its texture ami increases Its fertility. Fund Goes to Red Cross The small fund in the treasury of the Preparedness league, which disbanded at a meeting at the Com mercial club Friday night, , was do nated to the local Red Cross society by unanimous vote of the. executive committee.

The Victrola tone is a wonderful thing. It is the tone of pure reality-throbbing with life and power and it is exclusive with the Victrola. There are five distinguishing points of superiority that can be had only on the Victrola because they are exclusive Victor Patents. Come and see the patented Victrola features: Tapering tone arm with its exact taper and perfectly smooth bore, which is scientifically calcu lated and constructed to conform to the expanding sound waves created by the sound-box. "Goose-neck" sound-box tube the flexible metal connection between the sound-box and tapering tone arm, which enables the Victor Needle to follow the record grooves with unerring accuracy. Concealed sounding-boards and amplifying compartment of wood provide the very limit of area of vibrating surface and sound amplifying compartment, so absolutely essential to an exact and pure tone reproduction. Modifying doors may be opened wide thereby giving the tone in its fullest volume; or doors may be set at any degree graduating the volume of tone to exactly suit every requirement. Closed tight the volume is re I duced to tne minimum and when not in use the interior is fully protected. Victor "Tungs-tone" Necdles-which will play from 50 to 200 records and yet are changeable so that the volume may be suited to the size of the room or the occasion. Some prefer soft music, some want it loud you can suit your own taste on a Victrola. WHEN you hear the wonderful tone of the Victrola and see how the new "Tung-stone" needle enabels you to enjoy every record to the fullest extent you will understand why all the leading musical artists of the whole world perform exclusively for the Victrola.

LAST OF 52 FOR ARMY GO TO AMERICAN LAKE Seven piackamas county boys, comprising the last 15 per cent of the county's quota of 52 men for the national army, departed for Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash., early Sunday morning. Sheriff W. J. Wilson was the .official farewell committee for' the boys and there were many friends at the station to see them safely started. These sev en will be the last to go to Amer ican Lake, unless a few are sent there to take the places of men found physically unfit and returned home, until the next quota is call ed.

Early next morning the little folk crossed the river to West Linn, where they appropriated the horse and buggy of Mrs. Jeff Shaw. Some time later, after an accident in which the animal got away from them, the children were seen going into the woods this side of Oswego. Nothing was seen of them, although a thorough search was made, until late Saturday, when they appeared, after spending the night in the woods, at the home of James Tracy at Gladstone. Mr. Tracy put the brother and sister on the car and directed them on their way home.
