BLESSED AR.E THE MERCIFUL.
Judge Porterfield of Kansas City,
presiding in the famous Hyde murder
trial, asked this question:
"Has any c?an on this jury ever been
convicted of felony?"
There was no answer.
-Afterward, however, one of the jury
men sought the judge in chambers and
said :
"I am an ex-convict, convicted twen
ty years ago. Since then I have been
leading a square, honest life. I couldn't
stand up in the courtroom and confess;
I couldn't for my family's sake."
The juryman explained he had been
given two years in prison for a shoot
ing scrape.
Said the judge:
"I know you. You are a good citizen.
Yon shall not have to tell your story
to any man, and it shall not pass this
door."
And that is how this Jean Valjean
found a judge with bowels of mercy. .
"But," you say, "would any one
hinder the reform of such a man or
hurt his prospects, a man who has
suffered his punishment and now is
living an upright life?"
Listen to this tale. I personally
know it is true:
An ex-convict of exemplary record
was paroled by the state board of. par
dons and went to an Iowa town where
he had lived in all good conduct and
joined a church. He was asked to
take part iu the program of a church
entertainment.
Now, there was a certain woman.
This woman learned by some means
that the man had served time in pris
on, whereupon she withdrew from th?
entertainment committee.
Well. ,
Learning the woman's action, the
poor man said he would step aside. It
was in vain the best people urged him
to stay, averring they preferred to let
the woman go out of the church rath
er than lose him. He was firm.
What else could he do?
He wrote to the parole board, told
the story and asked to be permitted to
move to another town in the state,
which was granted.
Somebody ought to thunder in that
woman's ear, "If ye forgive not men
their trespasses." how will God for
give you?
Merciful Judge Porterfield!
Hard hearted woman!
One View of Modern Ihildren.-
Childreu are never children to them
selves. From the standpoint of the
grownup the real children we meat iu
these days are few and far between.
To be a real child implies unconscious
ness of one's superiority. The trou
ble with many of the children of to
day is that they have discovered that
Ibey are superior. .Their advantages
are much greater than ours were, and
they know it and they rub it in. The,
old fashioned licking has goue out an J
with it the child. In his place is a
vastly superior creature who is affable

Essence of Good Cooking,
The esspin e of .tooil cooking lies in
four tilings the ability to .preserve,
develop, improve and vary the flavor
of foods. The French excel particu
larly in the art of varying the flavor
A small pic-s-e of meat suffices them to
make a whole pot of vegetables redo
lent of it Conversely, they use nil
sorts of vegetables to impart their
unique flavor to meats in soups,
stews, sauces and the water in which
meat or fish is boiled. The combina
tions and variations are endless. An
English epicure declares that the se-.
cret of the excellence of French cook
ery lies in the lavish use made of veg
etables. "Where we use one kind
French cooks use twenty." Century

ANOTHER BROADSIDE
FIRED BY 8C1EBEL
(Conrinued from page J.)
to the company in place of the blanket
franchise that they sought.
Ordinance Passed Later.
"I was re-elected Mayor the follow
ing month by an overwhelming ma
jority. Immediately after by term of
office expired the O.-W. P. Railway
Company came .to the City Council
and. Mayor Sommer asking for the
franchise that we had refused ana
after a long fight during Sommer's
administration the franchise was
granted by the Council, and the Grand
Jury made an investigation which
caused Mayor Sommer to think ser
iously that his motives might be ques
tioned and he then vetoed the ordin
ance that had been passed by the
Council. . - "
"The ordinance above refrered to
was the one presented during my ad
ministration and refused.
"The only ordinance granted during
my administration was a continuation
of the existing franchise and the
compay agreed in addition to addi
tional compensation to the city to
make suitable provision for housing
the merchants' freight. This is thi
first time I have ever heard any op
position to the little express and
freight franchise granted - November
5 1902.
"This is another soap-bubble that
has burst and I am compelled to be
lieve"that Schuebel's mental faculties
are greatly impaired.
"Mr. Schuebel says that when May
or Sommer was elected to that posi
tion that gambling was rampant in
Oregon City. Now I can assure you
that I have not spoken to E. L. Shaw
regarding that matter, but I am cer
tain that he will tell you that no
gambling or even slot machines were
running at that time and had not
been for more than three months prior
to that date. All of those who were
interested in slot machines and other
sports requested Mayor Sommer te
allow them to play poker in the event
of his election and he did so, pro
vided, however, they would conduct
the game upstairs and not on the
ground floor and they did so for more
than one month; thereafter he ord
ered them to cease on account of a
sermon preached by Rev. Bollinger,
and not on account "of any word or
demonstration made by Mr. Schuebel.
"Mr. Schuebel imagines that by
calling the franchise asked for by the
Southern Pacific the 'Dimick Fran
chise' that he can create a prejudice
in the minds of the people and lead
them to believe that I was active in
its passage. As a matter of fact I
never asked a living soul to support
that franchise not even a member of
the Oregon City Council, and I may
add that the fight on that franchise
was more on account of the opposi
tion to South End road than it was
on the franchise itself and in order
for Mr. Schuebel to convey his false
accusations in hopes that they will
be believed he states that I appeared
for the company in the Circuit Court,
all of which is wilfully and malicious
ly false, as I took no part in the litiga
tion nor did I hear the question argu
ed and 1 can verify that statement by
Judge McBride, George L. Story, R..
A. Lighter, Judge Hayes, W. A. Dim
ick, and in fact anyone that attended
the hearing. - .
"Mr. Schuebel knows that he is
speaking falsely when he makes this
statement and he knows that his oth
er statements are unqualifiedly false.
He speaks of a little diamond ring
which I have owned for manv years
and which I purchased from Mr.
William Andresen, in Oregon City, ana
he will verify my statement. I will
further state that the little stone was
purchased ,by me with money whrcn
I made on a potato crop raised on my
own farm and that at no time have I
ever stated to a living soul that Fred
Morris gave m"e that stone or any
other thing of value in all my life.
.. "I brand that statement of Mr.
Schuebel's as wilfully and unqauli
fiedly false and I consider him the
lowest character assassin that I have
ever met, and still he says he be
lieves in clean politics and good
morals. .
"I wish to say 'no' to any invitation
to debate on any question with a man
who will in order' to gain a point wrl
fully falsify for the purpose of poison
ing public sentiment against a man
who is trying to do right a3 he sees
it. I was told on the street by a very
reputable citizen that Mr. Schuebel
said that he was going to 'do me up'
and iniure my chances for my future
aspirations, but I do not fear being
injured by any hireling of Jonathan
Bourne or Joseph Fels.
'T have no use for Jonathan Bourne
nor the Joseph Fels theory of taxa
tion and will devote at least two
months of my time in campaign
against that highway robbery system.
As far as the police officers are con
cerned in Oregon City, that is only a
minor question, but 'there are some
serious questions which need my
careful attention and I will enumerate
a few:
"First What good can be accomp
lished by building a concrete retain
ing wall between Tenth and Eleventh
streets on Monroe, the estimated cost
of which is approximately $ 2,900, in
order to save a portion of a lot in a
canyon owned by D. C. Latourette,
upon which the Eleventh street as
sessment has not and probably will
never be paid, as the lot could not
be sold for 100?
"Second If Washington street, be
tween Fourteenth and Seventeenth
can be filled and the cost of the im
provement assessed to the abutting
property when no member of the Ore
gon City Council owns any abutting
property thereon, why then do they
fill in Main street with gravel and
other material and balance up the
street railway's company's tracks and
tax none of the improvements to the
abutting property and pay $5,000
therefor when the whole sum comes
out of the City Treasury?
Third Why should the city pay
$2,000 on the Abernathy Bridge when
the railway company had to erect a
bridge in order to keep their cars ous
of the creek-and-could have been in
duced to. build the bridge themselves
as they are using that part of Main
.street as a switching route?
"Fourth In improving Center
street from the north line of Seventh
to the north line of Ninth street, when
one contractor's bid was approxi
mately $3,s00 and the other contrac
tor's bid was approximately $4,400.
and after the lowest bidder receivea
the contract, then pay the contractor
more than $7,000,. then I ask the rea
son therefor.
"Fifth The Jefferson street con
tract was let for approximately $20,-
uuu ana tne records show that the
contractor received $26,600. I wish
to ask why some of these final pay
ments do not fall near the contract
I price.
I wish to be informed why It was
that when a member of the City Coun
cil was accused by the Engineer with
trying to get on the pay-rool of the
city and have the warrants drawn for
his salary under an assumed name or
by some other hocus pocus, so that
the taxpayers would not know he was'
receiving money that the Mayor andj
Mr. Holman and a few other of the
councilmen did not have the matter
investigated in order to show the pub
lic what the explanation or reason
was.
"The Council passed an ordinance
requiring property owners to build
retaining walls to protect the streets
along property wherein cuts were
made to improve the streets, and I
ask what right a city official has to
have the street department do thai;
work for him at the expense of the'
city and have warrants drawn upon
me sireei iuna m payment therefor."
Council Commended.
Morning Enterprise. To the Editor.
As a reader of your valuable paper
and a taxpayer of Oregon City, I wish
to voice my commendation' of the
stand taken by our City Council in
reference to the attempt of the Mayor
to remove Chief of Police Shaw. I
have only the highest regard for my
friend Dimick, but I regard him in the
wrong, and the people right, when
they demand that the present staff of
our police department be kept on the
force.
The day has long since past when
the offices of our city government are
to be turned over to the political trad
ers of the faction in power, irrespec
tive of the demands of the people that
elected them, and the best interests
of the town.
To refuse to re-appoint Ed. Shaw
will be a step backward in the de
velopment and progress of Oregon
City. The people are used to a bet
ter order of affairs and they will have!
it, it the only way to obtain justice
is to start the recall on Judge Dimick.
Certainly if our Mayor has his future
political welfare in mind, he will
hearken to the will of the people.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL FLINT.

In Chicago they never seem

and might have revolutionized
the amusement world i he had
continued in the game much
longer. ,
On one occasion a team of song

great press notices and a sheaf I
of photographs that made a i
grand front in the lobby. Their '
first performance was fossilized.
their second was decayed, and I
their third had been dead for
many years. After the last cur- .

actors to him as he stood beside
