Those who tell you to vote No on all of the measures that will be on the balot on the November election are not the best advisers. They more than likely urge this to bring the initia tive and referendum laws into dis repute. It may be wise to vote No where you do not understand a meas ure to be voted on. There is one bill on tae ballot, the Malarkey Public Utilities measure, which should be adopted. A glimpse at the title is all that is needed to show that it is a good bill. It simply gives our Rail way Commission control of all other public service corporations, such as street railways, electric light compan ies and companies catering to the public. On this measure be sure and vote 314, Yes. It is a bill that ought to pass. THEN AND NOW. What a' difference just a few weeks make is perhaps best demonstrated by Senator Bourne himself.

Pot me wse only contempt for that candidate, who, ! after he was beaten in a fair fight, j refuses to quit . Yet, he has appar ently concluded to make an exception of his case. In an article defending the "Initiative, Referendum and Re call," published in the Atlantic Month ly last January, Senator Bourne said: "Mr. McCall further states that it would be a, matter of no difficulty for the defeated candidate to initiate the recall and practically have the elec tion over again. I challenge the cita tion of any instance in which exper ience has demonstrated that this crit icism is justified. Experience in pol itics everwhere has demonstrated that the people admire a 'good loser.' They have contempt for the man, who, af ter he has been beaten in a fair fight, refuses to quit." But a man who would repudiate the direct primary would have little hes itency in repudiating his own written declarations. FORUM OF PEOPLE OREGON CITY, Nov. 2, (Morning Enterprise) Anti-suffragists have been spreading broadcast under the heading: "Judge Lindsay'tJ 'Views" an article purporting to prove that equal suit rage is not a success in Col orado. In order to give equal publi city to the other side of the question will you please publish Judge Lind say's reply to a letter asking for his opinion? The letter follows: My Dear Mrs. Your letter came at the close of our municiual campaign for city and county offices consequent ly this delayed acknowledgment. In cidentally let me say that I was re elected judge of the juvenile court on an Independent Citizens' ticket by nearly 30,000 majority. My opponent was a machine nominee on the Dem ocratic ticket, with the endorsement of the Republican machine put up by them to defeat me because of my story of ' The Eleast and the Jungle, ' and particularly of the fight on corrupt politics in Denver. Tile entire Citi zens' ticket won by 10,000 majority ov re the bi partisan machine candidates, and the result is largely due To the fact that women vcte in Denver. I do not believe such a victory would have been possible had it not been for this fact. I am tremendously tied up at this moment with a. mass of correspond ence and accumulated work, which has necessarily been neglected during the municipal campaign for my re election, and to defeat the bi-partisan mac.'ine that we have fought here for the past ten years, and it is physically impossible to get up a letter just at. I his time, but I am going to try and do so it the earliest date. Here in Denver there is no ques tion that the great victory the great est in the history of American politics over corrupt politics, was uue pri marily to the woman's vote. It was Hie biggest single "actor in the re sult. I suppose it wouid be impossible to get some of the anti-suffrage papers to publish the facts about it; however if they will publish tSis statement for me, you are more than welcome to it. BEN B. LINDSEY. A year ago Judge Lindsey said: "It is only a matter of a short time when Denver wili become the cleanest, most moral and democratic city in Ameri ca, and Colorado the most ideal com monwealth in America."

Scoop 7 A SOLA CIRCLE HAS FINE L The iiallowe'en social given Friday evening at tne Woodman Hall by the Sola Circle, Women of Woodcraft, was a moiK. enjoyable affair and was attended by about 65 members of tne order. The early part of the evening was devoted to business, which was followed by a program, dancing and refreshments. The haa was prettily decorated tor the occasion. Ihe following program was enjoy ed during the evening: Duet, Alta i Rusell and Kate Cooper; solo, Alta Russell; recitation, Mr. Morgan; sex tette, Mrs. J. A. Morris, Mrs. Volkmar, Mr. Morgan, Mrs. Swanson, Clyde Green, Ray Morris. They were forced to respond to a hearty encore One o the features of ihe evening was the guesing of 12 members, who were at tired in sheets and pillow cases, the prize of which was won by Mrs. J. L. Waldron, and in a guessing contest Miss Carrfe Balcolm was awarded a prize. The committee in charge of the af fair was composed of Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Rosina Fouts, Mrs. J. A. Morris. Mrs. N. C. Toban, F. Parker, Mrs. James Dawson. MASS AND LEVIS SCORED BY TONGUE (Continued from page 1) be reelected. He announced that the sheriff and tne detective inrormed him tnat they did not have enough evi uence against the suspect to convict lam, but it tney could get him indicted it was their opinion that the man would confess. Mr. Tongue told how tue suspect nad been given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Samson and the charge dismissed and how lat er the grand jury had probed tha case and refused to return an indict ment because there was not sufficient evidence. He said if a purported con fession had been made by the man wnile under arrest to the sheriff and detective he had no way of knowing it would be true. Mr. Toungue called attention to t'le copy that was misrepresented to him would be substantially the tes timony of the witness before the grand jury. He eaid it had been given to him by Mass and Levings. '"Not a single witness who testified before the grand jury", said the speak er ''gave the testimony that the .sher iff and detective said he would.'' , He read what Mass and Levings said would be proveu by certain wit nesses and then told what their actual testimony was. According to Mr Tongue tHere was not the slightest reason for the indictment of the sus pect on the evidence submitted. He called attention to the capture and punishment of lawbreakers in otlser counties in his district, and declare! there had been nine murders in this county since the election of Sheriff Mass and not a single one had been captured by him. He warned his hear ers not to heed the accusations of Mr. Mass, who, he said, he understood, would speak in Oregon City Monriay evening. "I have been making these charges against Mass for one week", declared the speaker, ' and he has not attempt ed to answer them. "Now will he make his speech when he knows that I will have no chance to answer him before election". Mr. Tongue said that the sheriff had been proved to be incompetent and that he could not, and had not, even arrested horse thieves. He de clared further that Mr. Mass, when cases of lawbreaking were reported to him, did not even make an attempt to find the man who committed ths act, without first asking that some body else swear out a warrant. Mr. Tongue was caustic, dramatic and used plain English. He" defied' any body to find anything in his record dishonorable and declared that he did not care for the money in the office to which he was seeking re-election, but he did care for his reputation, and that no man dare assail it. Deputy District Attorney Stipp, George Randall, chaTrman of the meeting and the candidates for coun ty offices also spoke. Gloves ard Thimblos.

SCHNOERR REPLIES TO U'REN LETTER (Continued from page 1) suspicions were againsi you, Mr. U'Ren, and two of your best friends. You yourself confess in the Courier that my suspicions were correct. Un der these circumstances you should not feel surprised that I stopped tak ing an active part in the fight. In the third place you wish to know what happened to Mr. Noyer. I can t tell you. I do ' not know Mr. Noyer, never spoke to him, and therefore cannot tell you what happened to him. I have now answered your ques tions ' but if you want to know more fully why I did not make reply to Mr. Noyer, although the answer was ready for publication, I will give you this in formation also. I wrote an answer to Mr. Noyer's questions on the 5th of last month, and handed the mann er rr Mr. Brown, of the Courier on the 9th. Mr. Brown is in posses sion of this answer today, but I beg ged him not to have it published be cause of the objections of your friends as I Dave already stated. Had you remained silent, this letter would nev er have been published, but you in sisted, so the letter follows: ; "Hon. P. S. Noyer, : Dear Sir In the last edition of the 1 Oregon City Courier you ask me to questions. For a two-cent stamp you ; might have had the answers cheaper" j and sooner. I hardly think that you j wish an answer. The purpose of your i questions is simply this: To harm ' me in the eyes of my fellow citizens i in order that you or some other party ; may benefit therefrom. My Creator has given me a very sensitive disposition, hence insinua tions cause me more pain than bodily violence can cause me.

Marl: viii: 11-26. Golden Text Jesus spake unto them saying, I am the light of . the world; he that followeth me shall nit walk indarkness, but shall have th3 light of life. John viii: 12. (1) Verse 11 How do you ac count for the ract that religious dif ferences generally stir much antag onism? (2) Why is it impossible to learn spiritual truth when in an antagonis tic frame of mind? (3) What caused the Sadducees and Pharisees, who hated each, other, to unite in their hatred of Jesus? - (4) What was the nature of the Vs:gn' they wanted? (5) Verses 12-13 What reason is there to believe that if Jesus had ;;er formed ever so wonderful a "sign ' it would have made any difference in their attitude to him? (6) . Why did their request for a sign 1 make Jesus feel so bad? (This is one f the questions which may be an swered in writing by members of the club.) SACK IH made to torture me to death, slowly, and under tae pretense of justice. You offer your services in the effort Do you believe this is a sin? I re spect and love every human being. They are all my brethern. We all have but one benevolent Father. I hate sin, but not the sinner. Espec ially do I love and respect aged per sons, even when they are making fools of themselves, for we all make mis takes even to tae end, and therefore I will give you an answer out of re spect of your age, while I, perhaps, would not have answered had you been younger than I. "But let me remind you before an swering your questions, that your in sinuations can neither harm me nor benefit you. My friends, and they are counted by the thousands, stay with me faithful and immovable, and be cause they desire it, I aspire to the office of representative. I would have resigned a month ago but they beg ged me to continue in the race and I am convinced that they would have voted for me even had I been con demned innocently to serve a term in the penitentiary. My friends know me and for this reason your insinua tions can do me no harm. You say: You refused to sign a statement of Mr. Chris Schuebel and said: "Christ, if I signed this paper, I would make a traitor of myself. I never can do that." " Question 1. To whom would you have made yourself a traitor by sign ing and publishing the above pledges to the peole? "Answer: I would have turned traitor against myself, my family and my own political platlorm. This plat form was made public before Mr. Schuebel asked me to sign his plat form. Had I signed Schuebel's plat form as he desired me to do, would I not then have become a traitor against myself and against my own platform? Would I not then have giv en my friends just cause to despise and leave me? Can't you see that a person can turn" traitor against him self through ignorance or through lack of conscience? "On that often named 3lst day of March, I simply said: 'Christ, if I signed your platform, I would turn traitor against my own. Perhaps I did not emphasize this contrast enough while on the witness stand, but those were present know full well what objections were raised whenever I tried to explain why I could not sign Schuebel's plauorm without turning and we extend to every boy and irl who can read, and to every man and woman, a hearty invitation to take up the reading and study of these Ques tions, and if possible to join the Bible reading club which is being conducted j through the Morning Enterprise. (7) Was their opposition to Jesus honest or dishonest? Give your rea sons. taj Why diil not the wonderful signs" .wmch jesus had already per--oried satisty tnem? (9) Wnicn cause is the more iniiu enual in keeping men lorm Christ to uay, a iack oi evidence of the irutn ol Christianity or the love of sin? Give your reasons. (10 J Verse 14. If the disciple oughc to nave taken bread and did not was tue iorgetting a sinful act? (11) Is it ever wrong to forget and, if, s, under wuat circumstances? (12) Verses 15-16 As Jesus did not mean to reprove tnem for not taking Dread, whether tney were blame wor tny or not, wny did their consciences accuse them of neglect? (13) Wnat does literal leaven do and what did Jesus mean by "Beware Of the laven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod?" (14) Why ought all who would be good to beware of Pharisaical hypoc risy, ostention, pride, formalism and placing the letter before the spirit anaoi! Herodian superstition, sensu ality and cruelty? (15) What should be the compelling spirit of every Christ man? (16) Verses 17-18 What part does a clear conscience, an unselfish spirit and a tender heart play in understand ing the ways of God? (17) What error or sin were these apostles guilty of to merit this rebuke of Jesus? 18) Verses 19-21 When we do ouTduty is there any "need to fear for our bread and butter? Why? (19) How many times in your life have you eaten all the food you have had or could procure, and how many times have you had plenty of food left after every meal? Then why do you worry for the future? (20) Verses 22-26 Why do you think Jesus used different outward methods in restoring sight to the blind? (21) How many different types of conversion and of religious experience are there? Did you ever know any two exactly alike? (2) What analogy in there between this man's experience and when our spiritual eyes are first opened? Lesson for Sunday, November 10, 1912. World's Temperance Sunday. Hosea viL ' it happened It Is !n tne Enterprise. Kallriq-ht f traitor against my own. ' Question II. What obligations or promises did you make to the Paper Company that .would conflict with the above proposed pledges to the people? "Why do you ask me this question? Did you not read Mr. Schuebel's state ment which I was to sign? Why, you had it printed in the Courier over and above your questions. The state ment: 'They, Hayes, Mr. McBain, W. Sheahan did not ask me for any pledge to support any legislation in the interest of" the corporations v or otherwise. Could I, should I bind my self with promises when no such promises were asked of me? ' But what is more; and this be my answer to your second question: T have made no promises to anyone, be it company or corporation or pri vate citizen; no promises that will in any way conflict In anywise with those pledges laid down in Schuebel's state ment. "The only promise that I made and make are tuose wflich I repeat every evening in tne political meetings and I repeat them here: 'If I am elected I shall not work for private interests neither ior myself, but as surely as God helps me 1 shall work and light for the common welfare of the WHOLE people. SUFFRAGE IS SUCCESS. "Like Otto von Bismark, I fear God but nothing arid anybody else in this world.' May God punish me wtth eternal death if I have not given you a truth ful answer to your questions. Very sincerely, GUST. SCHNCTERR. ' Finally I wish to tell you, Mr. U'Ren that if I caught a person forging my name to an ad or to a public document and publishing the same with the de sire to make people believe that I was the author, such person would not lihely repeat the offense. You bad the marvelous impudence to declare yes ler.Iay in the Courier that you had or dered a publication of Mr. Noyer's second letter. This is very significant, indeed. Who gave you authority to do this? If I had done so, you would bring me before the grand jury. Of course, when you do it, it is not so bad as it is when done by a common mortal. Mr. Noyer's ad in the Enter prise of last Sunday and in the Cour ier of Friday ought to open the eyes of every thinking person. This whole infernal business makes me tired and eick at heart and therefore I close. Yours very respectfully, G. A. SCHNOERR." E.
