RECALL FOR EVERYBODY.
Progressive Candidate Would Have
Principle Apply to President.
Winslow, Ariz. Flat declara
tion in favor of the recall of public
officials was .the main subject of
Colonel Roosevelt's campaign today
"I would like to have the'Vecall
apply to everybody, including the
president," said the bull moose can
didate. "I never feel like refusing
what the people want, and will fol
low their wishes as far as I conscien
tiously can. On the other hand, It
is the right of the people after due
consideration, to have their wishes
enforced by every public servant.
"I do not like to refuse to do what
the people want me to do, without
the people having a chance to get
at me, where we can have an open
fight. When such an issue is raised.
I'd like to have a chance to go and
fight it out.
"People talk about the recall de
stroying the independence of public
servants why, it won't destroy that
of anybody who has independence. I
don't like the public servant whose
independence is of such a frail qual
ity that he is independent only when
he knows the people cannot get at
him. I'd want to go out and do the
hammering, if I had a break with the
people."
A Peacemaker.
"You have taken your son into
business with you?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Growcher.
"But you seem to work harder
than ever."
"I have to. I have an ambition to
know as much about this business as
he thinks he does."

A board of inquiry comprising
three Southern Pacific officials, R. E.

and H. E. Norris, proprietor of a
creamery at Edgewood, convened to
ascertain the cause and fix the re-
sponsibility for the running away of

injuring a number of .persons on
train No. 13, has found that Brake
men W. A. Landis and W. A. Turrey
were primarily responsible.
The investigation brought out the
facts that on the arrival of train No.
221 at Weed, a helper engine. In the
train was cut out and backed down
to a switch with 16 cars, where the
train was cut off. That Landis, who
was the rear brakeman, and Turrey,
the swing brakeman, failed to apply
the hand brakes prior to the engine
being cut off, and that owing to this
failure the cars ran away down- the
mountain, where they collided with
train No. 13. Sixteen cars started
but were derailed before the col
lision. Conductor C. A. Cotter was not
sufficiently posted on the require
ments as to the use of hand brakes to
exercise proper supervision over the
actions of his crew and for this dere
liction he has been suspended 30
days on the record. Brake.men Lan
dis and Turrey have been discharged.

The "TriflinR Operation" of Iate Has
Claimed Too Many Victims.
Several recent deaths from a "tri
fling operation" have attracted the
attention of the public to the seri
ousness of certain surgical measures
which' are regarded by specialists as
involving so little dajiger that they
are resorted to with disregard for
the patient's life, which is in inverse
ratio to the results.
Experienced practitioners have
long inveighed against the reckless
sawing and cutting operations often
performed on the noses and throats
of persons who may be affected with
a more or less annoying obstruction,
which causes occasional interference
with the free passage of air or gives
rise to the symptoms described tovtso-
called catarrh. The advertising
quacks have exaggerated catarrh into I
dangerous if not fatal malady, which!
I order to avoid certain deplorable
conditions which are sure to ensue
if not treated without delay. It is
to be regretted that there are special
ists in the ranks of the regular pro
fession who are misled into a similar
exaggeration by imperfect under
standing of "catarrh." These gen
tlemen, usually of the fledgling type,
less skilled in prognosis than in the !
operative procedure, resort to the lat
ter as the sole avenue of escape for
the "sufferer." The latter, if he has
by quack, advertisements been pre
pared for the "sad fate" that awaits
him, places implicit confidence in the
nasal or throat specialist and sub-1
mits to "removal of a spur from the
septum" (the dividing partition ot
the nose), or of the tonsils, whicn re
sults are too often unsatisfactory and
sometimes fatal, according to the ob
servation of conservative general
practitioners.
The eminent surgeon. Dr. Henry B.
Sans, expressed the only justifiable
view. Asked by a friend why he did
not procure the removal of a small
! benign growth which was nlainlv vis-
! ible on the lower surface of his oper-1
;ating forearm, he answered: "It does

ter how trivial. Is entirely free from
dangerous possibilities. If it is de
manded for the saving oMife or pre
vention of disease or removal of pain,
or even of disfiguring deformity, no
surgeon would hesitate to perform
it. The individual who would per
mit a surgical procedure for removal
of temporary discomfort, as is often
done for the nasal passages, or for
any ailment that has existed for
years without impairing of the
health or serious interference with
comfort, is committing a serious er
ror. We are led to these comments by
an article on tonsil removal which
peered in an eastern publication re
cently. The frankness with which
the author acknowledges his own
youthful zeal in the "slaughter" of
tonsils entitles him to commenda
tion. While his statements were not
intended for the lay public, the latter
may be wise in drawing the lesson:
Let us hope that the day is not far
distant when not only the profession.
but the public, shall demand that

DON'T TRY TO DOIMiE.
Pedestrians Should Heed Vehicle
Laws of the State.
If all pedestrians (those who
walk) would heed the vehicle laws
there would be much less danger to
them and to the drivers of vehicles.
The vehicle laws of Oregon and the
city of Ashland demand that all vehi
cles shall at all times keep on the
right hand side of the street and
pass to the right of objects.
When a pedestrian reaches a cross
ing he should look out for approach
ing vehicles. If he is already in the
srteet when he notices a vehicle ap
proaching he will stand much less
chance of being struck if he proceeds
on across the street than he will if
he stands still until the vehicle nears
him and then tries to dodge It.
Give a vehicle nlenty of room to
the (driver's) right and he will oro
ceed straight on and miss you. If
you try to dodge him he will not
know which way to turn in order to
miss you and is likely to run you
down. .
Following is the vehicle laws of
the state of Oregon and the city of
Ashland condensed:
Keep to the right at all times.
When entering any city or town keep
your vehicle on the right hand side
of the street; don't keep the center
of street the law requires you to
keep to the right.
Stop all teams and autos on the
right hand side of the street only.
Don't stop In the middle of the street
or on the left side; the law doesn't
allow you to do so.
When slow-moving vehicles are
overtaken by fast-moving vehicles on
the county or state highways, the law
requires the vehicle so overtaken to
turn out to the right and not impede
the progress of the faster moving ve
hicle; after said vehicle has passed
you the law requires said vehicle to
keep a reasonable distance ahead, so
'it -"'i will not be required to taV.o
its dust.
An automobile overtaking any
slower moving vehicle shall give
warning with one blast of the horn,
so that said vehicle. may move to the
right In plenty of time to let said
auto pass without stopping its prog
ress; upon the failure to heed said
warning three blasts of the horn
1 shall be 'given. If heed is not given
, to the last signal then the auto is
entitled to pass you without further
warning and the responsibility rests
with the vehicle so passed. It is
time that autos and teams commence
;to respect each other's rights.

Roseburg Register: Forty head of
horses en route from the Natron ex

up at Ashland pending the report of
a bill of health on the animals. The
company appraised Dr. Weller, the
veterinarian of this city, of the quar
antine and he left on the midnight
train for Ashland to apply the Mal
lieu test to the equines to determine
if they are free from glanders. Ore

Ida
M. Tarbell vs. Jane Addams
Which?
It is meet and fitting that the
greatest women of our day are de
clared to be those who devote the
majority of their time to the welfare
of humanity.
The past decade holds in the lime-
light Clara Ba-ton, Helen uouia, iaa
To.Koll inj Tana 1lriama nil lin-
married women. Clara. Barton, of
! Red Cross fame, has passed to her
exceeding great reward. Helen
Gould, with her inherited millions,
has not yet made sufficient history
to consider at present. That leaves
two noted women whose names are
being constantly quoted as ideals.
Ida Tarbell Is a writer on sociologi
cal questions, and invest gator of la
bor problems.
Jane Addams name Is familiar
because her work among the poor
and vicious has given her the title
or the greatest authority in the
world, since Tolstoi has "passed on,"
on sociological conditions from act
ual meeting them face to face.
These two women have taken a di
ametrically opposite view, on the
question of women's suffrage. Which
is right?
When it comes to war, whether
political or with arms, we must con
sider the leaders. During the late
civil conflict we found that George
B. McClellan, though a martinet in
maneuvers and a 'student of history,
failed because he did jiot consider
sufficiently the conditions as they
presented themselves to him. The
times were not those of which he had
read and he could not cope. with
them.
Grant, on the other hand, cast
aside ancient historv and studied the
problems that actually were, and
thus saved our great nation.
So, then, when Ida Tarbell, the
student, tells women to stay In the
'Inner circle" and all will be well.
she gives us ancient history. Jane
Addams, pondering so near the fire
line for 25 years, says the outer cir-
cle is no longer intact. Greed has
made a breach here, vice there, and
help must be at hand at once. Ida"
Tarbell, In her luxurious library,
with all the" niceties of life around
her, works with Jier pen, and lines
her purse with gold. Whether she
scatters it abroad for the welfare of
humanity is unknown. Jane Ad
dams, in Chicago, eats the food of
the poor, lives among the tenements
and breathes the fetid air of the
slums. Ida Tarbell sees no wolf
peering in the window she studies
at no close range the sorrows of the
poor. Jane Addams' hair has sil
vered while she has listened to the
tale of the foreigner. More than
that, she has fed and instructed him.
She has clustered around her his lit
tle children. More than that, she has
given them needed playground and
mothered hundreds of them while
their parents were striving for bread
to feed them. She has studied the
problems of the unemployed. More
than that, she has sheltered them,
given food to the starving and saved
them soul and body.
All the wealth she Inherited, all
her broad culture of mind, all her
physical strength have been freely
given. She has 'withheld nothing.
She has studied, at close range, im
pure drugs, impure food, unventllat
ed tenements, oppression of work
girls, lack of playgrounds in fact,
all those things that eternally grind
the poor.
So, can we riot depend on her
judgment when she says the only
cure is to put the ballot in the hands
of women? Once, to be sure, she
hoped wmen would not be compelled
to step in the breach and keep in line
with men. Rut vice has been breed
ing too rapidly in our congested cen
ters. Voters were careless. Mayor
""' "r 'r but ten
days ago said: "Vice cannot be con
trolled. It has the mastery In our
city." Our own Governor West,
aghast at what he finds in Portland,
"stands pat" for suffrage as the only
way unless military rule will con
quer. Shall we listen to the recluse
in the study or those like Jane Ad
dams, at active work? Should we
not be patriotic enough to give the
right to save their own flesh and
blood to the women who have borne
them, before the hordes from for
eign shores, the lust of capital and
red-handed vice claim them and tie
our hands with chains unbreakable?
