THINKS COURTS CORRUPT Says Disregard for Law Makes Pos sible Accumulation of Great Fortunes and Brings Fic titious Prosperity. From the viewpoint of an Australian writer who has been studying economic and social conditions In the United States for more than three years past, this country is rushing forward on a tidal wave of prosperity that, when It is spent, will break in a revolution. Within 20 years, is his prediction, this country will be In the throes of an armed conflict be tween capital and labor which, although" bitter and violent while it lasts, will set tle forever the complex problems that now exist. This is the gloomy forecast made by James DeConlay. Jr., a newspaper spe cial correspondent from the Antipodes, who is now a guest at the Hotel Port land. He is just finishing his tour of in vestigation in the United States and is on his way to Canada. Mr. DeConlay. since . he came to this country, has been a fre quent contributor to the American maga zines and throughout the Bast has be come recognized as a writer of power. Many of his articles printed in the Aus tralian papers have been reprinted in the United States His analysis of the char acter of President Roosevelt is said to be one of the best pen pictures of the Chief Executive- ever published. Mr. DeConlay is virtually Americanized and has learned to love the United States and its people. He Is not a "knocker" in the strict sense of the slang term, but he does not handle this coun try and Its institutions with gloves. He declares that according to its age it is doing better than any other country ever has done "Federal, state and munioipal politics in the United States are honeycombed with graft." declared Mr. DeConlay at the Portland last night. "The United States probably has more laws on Its statute books than an me omer countries m the world combined and yet has less law administration than any other nation of importance. The law is not taken sen. ously here. In America the law 1s simply a matter of money. Why America Is Prosperous. "America is not more resourceful than Australia, yet there is no comparison in the development of the two countries. One of the reasons for this is that indi vidual effort is not penalized in America and is under practically no restraint. Great forces in fighting each other turn over the laws as though they had never been enacted and move against each other unrestricted. This has helped to make the country wonderfully prosper ous "Take E. H. Haxriman for instance. Suppose he wanted to build a line, would he consider the law? No. Suppose James J. Hill wanted to throw an obstruction in the way of Harriman Would he con sider the law? No. Their motto is. 'Go ahead and then be Bure you're right.' In other countries there is more respect for the law and more conservatism. The result of the many gigantic achievements is prosperity and the concentration of vast wealth. And the prosperity and concentration of wealth hasten the tur moil that Is inevitable. Wherever there is a. great era of prosperity it is followed by a reaction. "Just now the entire world is pros perous, but this prosperity will not al ways last. When the world ceases to be prosperous, so will the United States. And then will come the great struggle be tween capital and labor, and it will be worse In this country than any other because of the utter disregard of law. "Labor will fight with dynamite and capital will retaliate with rifles. There will be bloodshed from one end of the country to the other. I will not predict that great armies will be formed to face each other, but in the cities there will be terrific conflicts the labor troubles' of today magnified many. many times. There will be a great press ing need for some masterful man to handle the situation, and that man win be President Roosevelt, who then will be elected to a third term. Will Force a Co-Operation. "The conflict will force co-operation between capital and labor and then the United States will settle down to erijoy a prosperity with a foundation of a per manent nature. You have Americanism in this country, but the real, genuine American is being evolved and is still in the making. "The kernel of all your rottenness In this country and it is nothing less Is the election of the judiciary by popular vote. In England the judges are ap pointed by a Government responsible to the people. They are appointed for life and are selected from members of the bar who have honorably distinguished themselves. "The salaries paid are large, and if their record is satisfactory the Judges are retired at 60 years of age with a generous pension for the rest of their lives. The large salaries and the pension places them entirely out of the reach of corruption. j Chicago la one year-1! think It was in 1902 or thereabouts there were 122 mur ders. In London in the same year there were nine murders One man was exe cuted in Chicago and eight in London. 'Crime is more common on the South Side In Chicago than any place else in the United States. I believe it is due to the packing houses. A man who sticks a knife in the throat of 500 pigs every day year in and year out becomes hardened. A man who stands in the blood of brutes to his very knees for years In time will not hesitate to shed human blood." PUTER "GRINDS OUT" COPY "King of Land Fraud Operators" Is Busy on His Book. While various critics throughout the state are passing judgment on S. A. D. Puter's forthcoming book, the dis tinguished "king of the land-fraud operators," is busily at work in hie prison cell grinding out Immense quan tities of copy for the volume, -which he prophesies will attract a great deal of attention. "It is amusing to see some of those fellows squirm," raid Puter yesterday in discussing the situation. ' "They are awfully anxious that my book should not see the light of day because they think it would injure Oregon, or for the reason that it can subserve no good purpose, and while they are say ing one word for the public in this respect, they are making a whole Fourth of July speech for themselves. "No honest man need feel the least bit of alarm over anything I may say, but there are others who feel differ ently about It, and some of them are voicing their sentiments through sage brush newspapers that owe their ex istence to the money derived from the publication of fraudulent land notices. They are the ones that are taking a leading part lu the effort to convince people that the necessity does not exist for the publication of my book, when, as a matter of fact, none of them know what it is going to contain. It is mere ly another case of a guilty conscience, and I guess some of them will take to the tall timber sure enough when they find out that the statutes of lim itations has no Jurisdiction in what I have to say." It is expected that the book will con tain between 300 and 403 page.s, and will be ready for delivery about Jan uary 1, 1907. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy One of the Best on the Market.

It is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases, such as coughs, colds and croup, and can al ways be depended upon.

FEAR CARELESS HUNTERS STRAY BULLETS DISTURB WIL LAMETTE HEIGHTS RESIDENTS Also aid That Sportsmen Xear the City Kill More Chickens Than Grouse and Pheasants. Careless hunters have caused some of the residents of Willamette Heights mild ly to protest against promiscuous shoot ting. Since the open season for pheasants began it is said that it is with fear and trembling that the peaceful citizens ven tured out of doors lest they be greeted with a charge of shot. The residents state that on Sunday morning a regular sham battle ensues in that neighborhood. The hills are thronged with hunters, and as game is fairly plentiful they keep each other busy dodging bullets. Only the other day a grouse was killed by a hunter at Twenty third and Raleigh streets and another one near the corner of Thirty-third and Quimby streets. But the complaint is made by the su burbanites that some of the sportsmen, if sportsmen they may be called, are of the type that would just as soon bag a fat Spring chicken as a pheasant or a grouse. At least it ' is said that more chickens have fallen to the unerring aim of the city sportsmen than wild birds. The story Is told of the wonderful marksmanship of three hunters who ran across a flock of about a dozen chickens which had strayed into the fields. As the owner of the chickens lived a con siderable distance away, the expert shots, armed with three automatic pump-guns, opened fire upon the brood. When the smoke had cleared away they discovered that all of the chickens were lying close to the ground in the throes of death. The three "sportsmen" were so elated over their wonderful skill "and good fortune that they abandoned their hunt for pheas ants and grouse and returned immediately to the city. J. S. Fordyce states that the west end of his residence on Willamette Heights has been damaged by a liberal applica tion of heavy shot. The other morning Frank Blsmark went out on his lawn to mow grass. He began to hear bullets singing and zipping by his ears, so Je hastily decided to postpone the work un til a later date. The residents, it Is said, are not opposed to parties shooting In the adjacent hills and fields, but are anxious that discre tion be used to prevent accidents. Portland Presbytery to Meet. The Portland Presbytery will meet this evening in the Springwater Presbyterian Church and will continue In session Tues day. Rev. C. W. Hayes will deliver the opening sermon today, and Rev. Ely, of Calvary Church, will preach at 7:30 P. M. Tuesday dinner will be served in the nearby grove. A considerable number is expected to attend from Portland. Those attending will go to Estacad by electric railway and thence by priva- conveyance to Springwater. FAVORS NEW SCHOOL LAW Rock-wood Grange Wants Only One District In the State. GRESHAM, Or., Oct. 7 (Special.) Rockwood Grange met last Wednesday evening and decided to substitute a farm ers' institute for a proposed grange fair to be held October 24 A letter was read from Dr. James Withycombe which stated that he and others from the Oregon State Agricultural College would be present. An all-day and evening session will be held and a large attendance is expected. A resolution was adopted at the meeting indorsing the proposed law regarding free textbooks which will be introduced in the next Legislature. Resolutions were adopted favoring an amendment of the present school law so as to more nearly equalize the educational benefits which belong to each child in every part of the state and favoring a law provid ing for a creation of one school district covering the entire State of Oregon and the- elimination of all subdivisions which are now called school districts. These suggestions have many adher ents among prominent educators of the state and the change would be indorsed by many more as soon as they knew that the question of a change is being agitated.

Lafe Pence Returns With Projected Development and Colonization Schemes Resume Ixcal Work. According to Lafe Pence, who has just returned from a month's trip East, and who is considered an au thority on the subject, the Oregon country Is Just being discovered. In consequence of the complimentary re marks he heard during his absence concerning the Northwest In general and Portland in particular, Mr. Pence comes back overflowing with enthu siasm, and declares that this is bound to be the greatest region on earth. "The people of the East are greatly interested in affairs out here." said Mr. Pence yesterday, "and in several communities that I visited there was a disposition to organize parties in certain neighborhoods and come here In a body to settle. As soon as I can get time I am going to canvass the situation with a view of ascertaining if some suitable tract cannot be se cured for colonization purposes." Mr. Pence and his wife left here September 6, and were gone exactly a month, during which time they visited all the principal Eastern cities. At Detroit, Mich., they spent several days with the mother of Mr. Pence, and also visited Mrs. Pence's mother in Denver, Colo. The weather was fine all the time, and the trip highly enjoy able. Relative to the significance of his operations here, Mr. Pence stated that his company is running a flume from Jackson and Rock Creeks, in Wash ington County, to this place through the Cornelius gap, for the purpose of fullnlltniBr a contract he has with the O. R. & N. to furnish them with 600,000 railroad ties. The water will also be used for ground sluicing to fill in Guild Lake.
