Official Paper of City of Oregon City
"Flag of the free heart's hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were brn in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil b&ueath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."
JOSEPH RAKE-
CAMOUFLAGE.
Two men, both captains in the mili
tary service of their country at Van
couver barracks, recently ran the au
tomobile in which they were driving
on Broadway Bridge, into several other
machines, smashing things up gen
- erally, barely missing killing of pass
engers, and landed in the police sta
' tion. .
Policemen preferred charges of in-
toxication while driving an automo
Ibile and with having liquor in their
possession against them. Two bottles
of moonshine were found in the car.
So far the legal machinery ran per
fectly. Suddealy the wheels reversed.
. At the trial of said men, the same
policemen who had preferred charges
would not testify that the officers were
intoxicated, but that "they had had a
few drinks"; the attorney for the of
ficers presented a bill receipted in
favor of the officer who drove the
wild machine for damages of $550 to
the smashed machines, th three vic
tims of the smash-up declared "that
the officers had had a few drinks,"
and the car owners testified ttiat the
officers, Lynch and Harris, had com
pensated them well for the injury to
their machines.
The judge delivered himself of the
following: ."I am sorry I must find
you guilty, but I know from personal
experience that a man who has had
three or four drinks during the mid
dle of the( afternoon is not in full con
trol of his faculties. I do not believe
you were-drunk, but I do believe that
the few drinks you had put you in
such a state that you could not drive
in the same fashion as though you
had not been drinking." The judge
then fined one of them, Lynch, $100
for intoxication (not drunk), and $25
for having liquor in his possession.
The verdct, the attitude of the judge
and the policemen and others .needs
NO COMMENT. Disgust with courts
and non-law inforcement increases
every hour.
In this case even the insignia of of
government itself is figuratively be
smirched. Prohibition is not a failure
here is shown the greater need; of
it The cause of opposition to law and
murmunngs against govermnent is
laid in just suoh conditions as here
& shown. Some other men have been
sent to prison for mere possession of
moonshine. Discrimination in respect
to persons in the enforcement of all
law is as damnable as it is unjust.
with kis own political methods, which
get cold comfort from the present
plan.
But in the matter of changing the
present system, as there was in its
adoption, there must be difinite and
sufficient reasons for changes under
taken. Personal or party desires alone will
not suffice. The next legislature, in
attempting to alter the provisions of
the law as it now stands, must not at
tempt to take from the people any of
their rights or privileges. Amend
ments should increase the popular
rights while they provide against
abuses which ar'e now permittd to
come in.
I
their widest and broadest sense. I
Where then shall the foundation for
these be laid if not in the kindergar
ten, where children of all nations
come, many from homes where such
principles are unknown? Teach the
child then that everything that has
life is his brother, to be treated with
kindness, love and justice.
The little girl who learns that her
kitty needs her loving care, needs
sleep, good food and careful handling,
is learning lessons in Motherhood
which she will never forget. The boy
who learns that his rabbits, and other
pets, share many of hs own needs, and
that he stands in place of a father to
them, is being trained in parenthood,
and when the child has learned that
his animal pets have the same right to
life and happiness that he himself has,
it is not likely that he will treat his
human companions unjustly in after
Ufa
In the home should begin this teach
ing of which Brotherhood is the key
note. The wise mother will not teach
her child cruelty however unintention
ally, by giving him toy guns, swords
and whips. Rather will she teach him
compassion and thoughtful care of
others, by training him to carry his
Teddy bear carefully, to pat, not whip,
his hobiby horse, to love his animal
PROGRESS. .
CHANGES IN THE PRIMARY.
And atill the stand-patter is exert
ing himself to PjUt the primary system-into
the discard or so alter it that
there will be little or no interference
Any person who will observe con
ditions will be impressed favorably
with tihe general improvement of
homes throughout the city and county.
New buildings, repairs and added at
tractiveness are apparent everywhere.
The business section of the city is
at present under improvememt by the
construction of the new Hogg, laundry
and dates buildings. -
The city itself should insist on prop
erty qwners cutting noxious weeds
and removing, refuse, which now dis
graces parkings and lots in the resi
dence districts of the city, and the city
should put its own "house in order"
first.
In the county, wherever roads are
improved, homes are generally im
proved and ihome life rendered still
more attractive. Methods for eropi
betterment, control of distructive
insects and rodents, and the increase
in thoroughbred stock are ieing con
tlnuously studied and perfected. There
is also increased interest taken in
economic affairs, -including conserva
tion of expenditures, lowering of taxes
J and building up of the best in com
munity life and co-operation.
All this is helpful and should be
encouraged.
COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED.
The Committee of One Hundred has
opportunity to be of genuine helpfml
service to the community. Such an
organization should be an encourage
ment to all officials who do their full
duty. And that the organization should
and will strive to. assist in the en
forcement of law as well as to insist
on its enforcement is expected.
And the general statement of travel
ing salesmen that Oregon City is the
"best town for business in the valley,"
should add pride and joy to her citizenship.

Above all must she teach him to be
brave as well as tender, that fear at
tracts evil, while love and courage re
pel it. Never must she make the fatal
mistake of repeating in the child's
hearing such remarks as "He was
frightened when a baby by a dog or
cat or horse," as the case may be.
This is to excuse cowardice in him,
and keep the child reminded of what
he otherwise would soon forget. '"Per
fect love casteth out fear, because fear
hath torment."
Thus are the days in both the home
and kindergarten the most important
of all in moulding the child's charac
ter, and indeed it is only in early
childhood that such a foundation can
be well and surely laid.

Soprano High "C"
Without "Metallic" Suggestion
A Brunswick Achievement '
The severest test of a phonograph is in reproducing
"high notes," especially soprano.
You have noted how, most instruments vibrate and
sound "metallic" when the higher notes are reached.
But come in and hear a soprano record on The Bruns
wick. Note the clear-toned, ringing intensity of the
"high notes." Then you will realize why greatest
musicians have chosen The Brunswick for their own
homes,
