Official Paper of City of Oregon City
"Flag of the free heart's hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to ralor glren;
Thy stars hare lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."
JOSEPH DRAKE.
.iAT a fine thing at would be if the radical and conservative elements
the country could be formed into one vast organization. "Not all
could, of course, meet in assembly at one time, nor would this be necessary.
In each group, however, there should be both elements represented.
There would, no doubt, be lively "scrapping" for control. There would be
lively expose of the various issues. And one valuable outcome would be a
glimpse, unwilling or willing, of the viewpoints of others
s -
As it now lst
the radicals meet by themselves ; the conservatives do likewise, and all agree
within their own groups that they are right and the others are wrong. Tli'e
result is that neither side makes headway toward solution of the problems
that trouble them. ..
One of the greatest advantages of organization is the influence of mind
upon mind, of convervatism upon radicalism. Here is the most fertile field
for the growth of tolerant ideas. And toleration in this day when there is so
much'.of industrial and religious unrest and strife is of' prime necessity and
highest value. N

DAIRYMEN WIN
THE s it brought by the Carnation 'Milk Company, urging a rehearing of
;he decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, upholding the law pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of compounds of cocoanut oil and skim
s
milk, has been withdrawn. This is a victory for the dairy interests of the
state.
The Court based the right of the state to prohibit, within tne state, this
milk compound, upon the 'following reasons: First, the law is intended to
prevent deception and fraud; second, it protects public health and welfare;
third, it promotes the general prosperity by preserving a great industry of
the state.
To show the sleek methods employed by the manufacturers, the Justice
writing the decision quotes from their advertisement of cocoanut oil com
pound "a delicious and nutritious new milk product." "Prepared in the
rich dairying districts of Indiana and Wisconsin." "Animal fats extracted and
then enriched with sweet, edible, highly refined cocoanut fat"
That these compounds are an exact imitation of the genuine evaporated
milk is obvious. They are produced from skim milk and cocoanut oil, cheaper
than the genuine. - But they are susceptible of being sold to the public for
the genuine at the same price, and consequently might be used for fraudulent
purposes.
Sold to the public, this compound might impair public health, not because
it contains anything larmful, but because it DOES NOT contain elements es
sential to a balanced diet. Further, the kind of substitution tends to dis
courage dairying, which at the present time is beset by nearly every con-,
ceivable obstacle. The number of cows is steadily diminishing, owing to the
high prices of feeds and competition to bossy's natural product, in the way
of oleomargarine, which is produced for and sells for less than butter.
This victory for the dairymen and farmer is a victory for the public
generally.
MAKE THEM PAY
T4.X exempt bonds are beginning to come in for criticism for the financial
condition of today. There are now invested in city, county, state and
United States bonds, and other' securities, nearly twenty billions of dollars.
And NOT ONE DOLLAR of this twenty billion dollars pays A CENT OF
TAXES to help pave Clackamas county roads, support her schools, or In any
other way help support county or state government.
Men invest their money in bonds and securities, sit down and grin while
their coupons at 5 or 6 per cent come due, while it is becoming mighty diffi
cult to get men to invest money in industries and commercial enterprises,
which furnish labor and opportunities to others. The industries now ex
amined, inspected and taxed in every conceivable way and bearing tre
menduous responsibility, do not appeal to the men who buy tax exempt cer
tificates. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars now invested by Clack
amas county citizens in securities, whjch do not pay a cent of taxes and con
tribute nothing to government upkeep or improvements of the community.
The plea is this: This investment is "no bother, is safe and brings good
returns." But the results upon the little fellow, the home owner, the small
industry, the farmer, are deplorable. These taxpayers pay what the investors
in, the tax redemption securities ought to help pay. Another result, unless
corrected by cessation of tax exempt securities, means ruin to the country, is
that taxes are increasing at a terrible rate . and the average tax
payers are curtailing improvements and reducing their production to save
themselves from confliscation of taxable property.
There is now no necessity for these tax exempt documents. And their
WHATEVER the national prejudice, there'are few individuals who, having
followed the events growing out of the Turkish massacre and destruc
tion at Smyrna will withhold commendation from Great Britian for her
courage and promptness in dealing with the near Eastern problem. With no
other nation of Europe, except the Greeks, sadly demoralized and defeated,
willing to protest definitely the Turkish occupation of the zone around Con
stantinople, made neutral as one of the results of the World Warr she de
manded that , human rights and Christian citizenship, should be respected.
She has backed this demand by proceeding to the neutral zone with forces in
tended to protect world rights and peoples, including both European and
American.
That there will be no war is the great hope. And if there Js a cessation
of Turkish butchery and progress into western Europe, the British govern
ment should be accorded credit. So far, she has shown herself the strongest
European bulwark against the most dangerous foe of Christendom.

It was done
Placed all of their treasures there,
And smiled that a home they had
fairly won
A haven from fret and care; :
And the songsters came in the lovely
spring, ...
To nest in the stately pmes,
And to teach their fledgings, wins
by wing.
Where the sky-trail dimly winds.
For a little while- was the grate
a-glow
In the house across the street,
And .it seemed that a home must
surely grow
In the cottage, fine and sweet;.
But the gold was scarce on the
autumn leaves, .
And the young birds taught to fly.
Then troubles came, like a band of
thieves,
To the cheery home near-by.
For a long, long time, did the storms
prevail,
While the neighbors, silent,, prayed,
Oh, the winds shrieked on in a fright
ful gale,
And they made us all afraid;
Then never again did the door spread
wide,
Nor the birds build near and sing
For the spirit of home had slowly
died,
And the bluebird taken win?. '
They built them a house of mortar
and stone,
Their treasures arranged with care,
But the character vital to make a

Had never a corner there;
They built them a house and they
laughed to win
Their story is aeons old
But sthe stuff of the soul was not
put in, "
And the hearth is black and eold.

THE VOTER'S DUTY
EVERY voter should study the measures and men upon whose qualifications
they will pass at the polls on November 7. To vote vote "No" because
the voter has little or no knowledge of the candidate or the measure is a dis
credit to the voter. The American franchise is a glorious privilege. It is
also a responsibility. More than this, it is a DUTY, and every enfranchised
person is in duty bound to study, measures and the qualification of candi
dates and to vote as intelligently as possible.
To give no thought or study to the ballot; to ignore it wholly oi in part,
or to vote "No" because of general apathy, is either laziness, cowardice, in
difference or a combination of these qualities. , -
To do less than to put forth earnest effort to exercise intelligently one's
franchise rights, is to play the role of peace-time slacker. And to disregard
entirely the franchise by voluntarily remaining away from the polls on
election day, should be sufficient ground for disenfranchisement.
With the number of W. C. T. U. organizations increasing from 7 to 15
in Clackamas county within the past few months, it looks like oooze has a
hard luck future.
And the rawness of the'proposed recall was too much for the Live Wires.
The proposed investigation into the merits was unanimously voted down,
With the depot matter, the Pacific Highway outlet and the city hall at
a standstill, the land is clear for starting something new and novel.

The rainy day of sickness, adversity, or
hard times, is "pretty sure to come to
every man at some time in life.
When your rainy day comes, will it find
you prepared with a sum of ready
money, or wil it find you dependent
upon relatives or friends?
Don't put off starting to save. Be
ready for adversity. A dollar or more
will start an account in our savings de

"Falling Falling"
By Martha Gallaudet Waring
This title, so familiar to students of
the Mother Play Book, by Frederick
Froebel, is the introduction to a large
subject. To those who wonder that a
man, as well as a philosopher, should
have spent his time on a book of Nur
sery Plays, we have only to point out
the deep psychology underlying each'
play. .
The psychology of fear as an in
heritance, an instinct, a symptom, as
due to repressions,, unconscious im
pressions, "taboos" imposed from with
out, has been the subject of much
modern psychological discussion, so it
is well sometimes to go back to be
ginnings and look at it simply and
from a practical standpoint.
"Better a broken arm than the fear
of it all one's life," says Jean-Paul
Richter., "Better still to have neither,"
says the Mother who considers every
accident, and every disease that be
falls her child a direct accusation that
she has failed somewhere and some
how in knowledge or care.
"Falling Falling" is a simple exer
cise for the tiny child, the Mother
taking her supporting hands from the
child and catching him again as he be
gins to fall, giving him the suggestion
of support, freedom and support again,
before the feeling of freedom -turns
into thatiof fear. I have played this
with all my children when they were
getting their air-bath, to theirgreat
delight.
From this point may come the first
important training of the early years,
how to -do things freely but without
fear because one does them correctly
and therefore safely. Show the little
child how to , lift his feet to avoid
stumbling and tripping. Show him
how to open and shut doors and draw
ers properly, and there will be no
mashed fingers. Show him the danger
of all openings like stairs and win
dows. Teach him to go carefully up
and down stairs and there will be no
need for gates and bars. Show him
the banisters are,to hold by and that
stairs may be safely descended one
foot at a time, and after instruction
let him do it himself until the right
movement becomes a habit. Caution
should be taught from the start but
never fear. A child knows no fear
naturally and to teach it to him is a
crime against nature.
A child of twenty months was one
day descending the stairs in the ap
proved way when his hat got over his
eyes and his feet slipped, but as he
had been taught to do, he clung firmly
to the banisters, and when we reached
him was holding up,, his whole weight
by one chubby hand, glad to be res
cued, but not in the slightest degree
alarmed for his safety, merely remark
ing by way of explaining his novel
position, ''Baby boy's 'at on, got in his
eyes."
The same little boy from this age

I dark absolutely without fear. He has
been allowed to experiment in every
possible way, under direction at first,
then alone, and although a few unfore
seen experiments have proved disas
trous to property, he has fine use of
himself and of material things.
This is the physical result, but there
is much more' to . it than" mere safety.
His disposition is of the cheeriest.
And he finds joy in everything.
What is believed to be the largest
camera in the world is owned by a sci
entist in Chicago. The camera body is
9 feet, 4 inches wide, 20 feet long,
when fully extended, and 6 feet high.
The lens cost $1,500 and is 12 inches
in diameter. All moving parts run on
roller bearings. The plate weighs
nearly 500 pounds when loaded and a
derrick is used to put it into the cam
era. The plates are 8 feet long by 4
feet, 8 inches wide and weigh more
than 200 pounds. A man enters the
camera to xlust the plates.
Anilin dye inserted at roots of living
trees of a certain species completely

A termite is causing serious damage
to lead-covered cable at the locks of
the Panama Canal. These termites
work through the lead causing large
openings. They then travel between
