FRIDAY THE If a steamship sinks
THIRTEENTH today, or if there is
a frightful catastrophe on land, or if
a hank smashes, or if the strawberry
crop develops a blight, or if the serv
ant girl dr0ps the handpainted cake
dish and breads it to smithereens,
there ire those who will shrug their
shoulders and blame it upon the un
lucky date. Friday is generally sup
posed to be a poor day for luck, and
the number "13" has been a hoodoo
f0r years among those who are super
stitious. It will be interesting to watch the
news of the world today,' just to soe
how many coincidences there will be.
In every newspaper office scribes will
be bearing the day and date in mind,
and it is a safe bet that there will be
article after article printed which
will start off with remarks dealing
with the date superstition. And half
the people that read them will look
startled, and will being to wonder
what sort of bad luck they will have.
This expectation of bad luck on
Friday, the thirteenth, is usually
what brings it. Most any person
'seeking trouble can find it without
much difficulty. If psychologists are
to be believed, persistent thinking of
one subject will warp the mind, and
what is mostly feared, or desired not
to be done, will be done subconscious
ly. Therefore, it would follow that
the best way to beat the hoodoo 0f
theday is to forget the date, or get it
wrong, or do something like that.
Then the hood0o wont be expected,
and nervous folk wont drop, dishes,
step on the cat, fall down stairs, lean
against the stove, break the clock
spring, tear their clothes, or do any
of the usual "unlucky stunts."
THE OPEN DOOR Action of the
TO SANITY city authorities in throw
ing off the ban upon street speaking,
and inviting all who think they have
a message to deliver to come to Ore
gon City and deliver it, savors con
siderably of common sense. It will
remove what to many may seem like
persecution, and it will show the rest
of the world that Oregon City has
nothing to f 3ar from outside agitators
who would come in here, pick flaws
in the local industrial condition,-and
advertise this town as a nest of slave
drivers. Also it will help people to
see what a shallow and fallacious line
of argument is provided by most agi
tators of the soap-box variety, and
will result in the defeat of their pur
poses. Agitation of their variety thrives
cn resistance. When there is no o
position offered, their propaganda
usually falls flat. By permitting all
who desire so to do to "talk their
off," Oregon City's officials have
probably arrived at the most satisfac
tory solution of threatening difficul
ties. And, incidentally, if a miracle
should come to pass, and one of the
soap-boxers should really have some
new truths to enunciate that will
make this world a better place, Ore
gon City will share the honor of A's
livering them. Orderly discussion of
any subject, whether it is a matter of
dispute or not, is pretty apt to win
now the wheat from the chaf. A
golden opportunity is now presented
for outside agitators to proe to
themselves and their audiances their

PROPHECY A recent issue of the
AND FACT Aurora Observer says:
"George Oglesby was here fr0m
Marks Prairie Saturday. He states
that all recal petitions will be com
pleted and in the hands of County
Clerk Mulvey by June 12, and an
election will be called within twenty
days thereafter."
It appears that Mr. Oglesby was a
poor prophet. June 12 came and
went at the county courthouse, and
Mr. Mulvey was not burdened with
any volumin0us petitions for any
thing. It is to be hoped that this fact
will be noted by those who have of
late been so gleefully predicting the
speedy destruction 0f the present
county court.
And speaking of prophecy, and
"signs" and other things, while there
may not be much to them, coinci
dences are sometime peculiar. Up
at Canby the other day they had a
funeral, and the corpse of the late da
parted was being slowly covered with
dirt, when one of the bystanders, who
had been sprinkling dust unto dust,
was suddenly seen to reach hastily in
to the partly filled grave, and draw
therefr0m a sheaf of papers that had
fallen from his pocket. In spite of
the solemnity of the occasion there
was a slight snicker, for it was seen
that the papers that had sought rest
in the sepulchre of death were the
sheets of one of these recall peili
tions. Of course, it was just a coin
cidence, but it was strange that a
thing so nearly dead should drop in
to a grave.
