CI.ACK AM COUNKKH, April 2C
(To the Kdltoii. A near a I tun
make out, the Oregon Idea, a preucu
cd and practiced by the pure patriots
who patented It, la that the people
haven't got gumption enough lo elect
the right men to tnuke right law, ho
they nnift make the law thomHolve.
having plenty of gumption to do that.
Thut what Aimer lleppner ay, and
he say ho knows because (j'Hen told
him so. Mebbe ho. mchbe ho. Hut it
Httlkea me that If I had a new barn to
build I wouldn't be Hhowln' much Judg
ment to tackle the Job myself becauHC
I wus ulruld I hudn'l Iiohs senso
enough lo hire a good carpenter.
Hocm to me thut plckln' out a good
luwyer or a good doctor, or a good
blacksmith, or a good hired man, when
you've got u Job In one of them lines
to do, and the money to pay for it,
takes a .heap less general education,
so to Hienk, than It would to do the
Job' yourself. '
...
My experience in life has made mo
believe that there are a heap more
good citizens than bad one ay where
you go. There's bllck fellow In town
that sell brass brick to greedy fool
who think somebody Is going to give
them gold for hHlf the price the Jewel
er around tne corner win pay; aim
there's farmers that aln t alxive put-
tin' all the little potatoes In the bot
tom of the sack a seilln' a blind hosi
for the price of a good one to some
Innocent who don't know enough to
fan his hat In front of a new hoss's
eyes; but most men In town are ready
to give a customer one hundred cents'
worth of honest goods for a noiiur,
and moat farmers deal pretty much on
the squure. If folks elect crooked
politicians to make laws, It's Just
because they ttrf too lazy and care
less to take the trouble to pick out
honest and good men; and If they are
too lazy and careless to do that, how
are they going to be busy and cure
tul enough lo make the wise laws for
llieliiHelves?
I've heard the parson say that intra
e ceased wav back in lllblo times,
and I'm pretty certain they ain't be
ing worked no great extent just ai
present. Hut Abner lleppner says
ihero ain't nothing' Impossible with
(iod and W. S. C'lten. He says Ken
sold u halt u law practice that wasnt
workln' to a Philadelphia man lor
$2,500 u year, and Abner say that If

.
SometluieH I go to Portland. and
nimble around amouc the eommlsslot
merchants. The last time I was there
I found notntoos selling wholesale at
$2.50 a hundred pounds, and carloads
ronilng In from the East. es, sir,
and onions at $3.50 a hundred pounds,
and being shipped In from benighted
sections w hore they aln t never neara
of the Initiative and referendum. And
ii eiunmlsHlon man told me that tiO
per cent of the vegetables eaten in
Portland were shipped In from other
states. He was a profane, careless-
speakln' cuss and he ald he thought
It would be a dnmslte bettor Oregon
Idea to raise half as much political
hell nnd twice as much potatoes and
bi'iitiH and CHhbage.
I'm a kind of old-fashioned Ameri
can m ill and u whole lot of a believer
In a tub Ktandin' on Its own bottom.
I believe tlmt a boy or a girl who Is
taught to be self-reliant and to take
and give hard knocks makes a better
man or woman than one who la per
petually molly-coddled. And I believe
that whut is good or bad for the indi
vidual is good or bad for a whole peo
ple.
Now-a-dayg the principal occupa
tion of half the population seems to
be thinking up new laws to take cure
of the other half. Even the length of
the sheets on a bed, the drinkln' cups
lu public places, and the number of
monsters that may be kept in the
chlckenyard without offending the
senslbllillcs of the Lady Secretaryess
of the Society for tho Prevention of
Improper Practices among Poultry.
are all subjects of new laws.
I'nruly children must not be spank
ed with anything harder than a roll
of cotton batting. Nude works of
art must be put in overalls. The peo
ple's habits, amusements, health,
hours of work, drinking and about all
their individual concerns must be re
gulated by a lot of laws. About the
only part of the Lord's Prayer tne.-.e
folks seem to know Is "Lead us not
Into temptation," and that's the only
part of that inayer that makes a real
man feel kind of sneakln" when he re
peats It.
Hut Abner lleppner says ne Know
that mckln' laws is a citizen nrst
ihity, and he's going to circulate a pe
tition for a hog-law that win mane
Hill Sykes clean up bis pen once In
while, if he has to hire a man to
help Mrs. Hoppner moke tne crops
this year and next.

I'm not against government In rea
sonable amounts, and I believe every
man fit to live in a free country ought
to take his fair share of interest In
holpln' to see it run right. But I be
lieve that the man who attends to hU
own business first and look after his
neighbor's next Is liable to vote with
more sense than a fellow who holds
down a cracker-barrel all day and lays
out plans for the runnln' of the uni
verse, while his children go to school
with their toes stickln' out of their
shoes at one end of their little bodies
and their hair comin' out of the holes
In thfTtf hats at the other end.
The Oregon Idea that strikes me as
about right Is more Initiative behind
the plow-handles and less referendum
at the corner grocery; more chickens,
eggs, pigs, potatoes, cabbages, beans
and onions and fewer petitions and
amendments; more stump-pulling and
less stump-speaking.
Put Abner Heppner says be would
rather hear U'R" or KKleton or
CrldKn aavn the country than to pull
a aturnp anylay, il say It g only a
(jiiohIIom of lime Ho the Initiative and
referendum will make the stump pull
theiMMelvo out.

ANDERSON AND DAN
FIGHT 15 FAST ROUNDS
AND DRAW RESULTS.
VANCOUVER, Wash., May 6 Not
withstanding the arrest of the parti
cipants in tne matches at Vancouver
Friday night and the placing of the
men under bonds ranging from 1250
to $500, the bouts scheduled under
the auspices of the Vancouver Athle
tic Association were pulled oft before
a packed house. The seating capacity
or 2500 was taxed to overflowing and
the S- R- O. sign standing out before
the bouts began.
ihe fiist event on the program was
a wrestling match between Clyde
Treser, of Vancouver, and Walter 1
Arndt. of Portland. Treser won first
tall in 4 minutes, 7 seconds. Second
uu aggressiveness after 15 minutes.
His work was clean and pretty !
throughout. Arndt is the man who
ihiew Auk Smith, the Oregon City
bov recently.
Two soldiers from the Barracks
furnished the next. Privates Egan
and Hinds. Both men scaled 158 j
pounds. This go ended suddenly in I
the III st round, Egan landing a dream-,
land tablet on Hinds' Jaw, putting him ,
out for several minutes. I
Kid Exposito aud "Yankee" Alley1
furnished six rounds of comedy. One j
was afraid and the other dasent. Al
len was the most aggressive and re
received the decision.
Danny O Brien entered the ring at
10:05, and was followed by Bud An
derson five minute later. From the
tap of the gemg the fan were treated
to as pretty an exhibition of clean
clever milling as ever seen around!
this part of the country. O'Brien out- (
weighed Anderson several pounds and ,
has more reach. His punches were
more effective but Anderson outshlnod
him In footwork.
Hud carried the fighting to Danny
throughout the 15 round, demonstrat
ing hi ability to take punishment and
hi willingness to mix. Both boy
brought blood and both were on the
edge of the' land of hod at time. A
draw .t a fair decision.
Jlmtnia Manning und Willie C'onroy,
of Han Francisco, challenged the win
ner before the bout.
Jack Barry, of the Portland ball
team, was among those in O'Brien's
corner.
It Is to be hoped that the manage
ment of the association will be ahlo
to pull off their card regularly. The
crowd was most orderly, no drinking
or gambling of any kind een. Neither
wa there any profanity. Several
women were present.

" We are facing the gravest problem
of the generation." said Manager C.
C. Chapman, of the Commercial Club,
" for If we can get more people on the
soil, many of our other troubles will
settle themselves. How to get the,
landless man on the manlese land Is
the great work to which the Oregon
Development League and the Port
land Commercial Club have aet them
selves. The figures show there 1
dire need of it. The man who can
devise a way to offset the lure of the
white lights of the city and get men
to set their feet on the ground instead
of treading asphalt all their lives, de
serves well of hla country."
