A SUMMER ARGUMENT. She wants to go unto the shore. And pack her trunk With, gowns no one has seen before And. all such junk. But I would seek some far-off place Where I'm unknown And let my whiskers deck my face, And be alone. ghe sighs for parties and for teas; They are her wish. Z. merely want to take my ease. And loaf and fish. She wants to lead a life that's grand, In silken skirts, L want to wear old trousers and My outing shirt. Detroit Free Press Reno's divorce mills have resumed. Joy riders often have sad finishes. Occasionally we meet a man who Is io honest that ho attracts attention. It's a pity wo can't repair the dam age as easily as we can make a break.

Tho Colored Head and Second Walters' association closed its con vention la Detroit, witb a vote of thanks to Mr. Jeffrie. THE FRUIT OF BEAUTIES of the convention system were shown at the Ohio republican convention. "On the third bal lot," Boss Cox threw the Hamilton county delegation's 9.1 votes to Harding," state the dispatches. Ho also vot ed the 91 votes for other candidates and for the anti Roosevelt platform. Boss Cox, like the lilies, neither toils nor spins, but, unlike tho lilies, he is not beautiful. He is n type of the parasite produced by the political convention, who has grown wealthy without- labor, through dictation of politics by means of what in Oregon is called the " assembly.' Hamilton count)' contains Cincinnati with a population of 500,000. Boss 'Cox names and elects the city, county and state officials. He chooses the delegates, and votes them as he pleases, as he did in the Ohio convention. How much voice did the 500,000 people of Hamilton county have in the naming of the gubernatorial candi date1? How much voice did they have in the adoption of the stand-pat platform? None at all. How much voice do the people have in any convention ridden state in the nomination of any of the men they vote for in either party? None at all. It is a humiliating spectacle when one man, uncultur ed and illiterate, who holds no office, who has no sanction from the people, absolutely rules a half million people, controls both parties, and makes - - xs of the electorate. Yet that is what ha-nnens in every state where the con vention system rules. Do the people of Oregon want to restore these condi tions? If they do, they want to vote for candidates pledg ed against Statement One and the direct primary. If the people want to continue to name and elect their own can didates, they want to defend every attack made upon di rect legislation and vote only for those candidates pledg ed to Statement One and the direct primary. COUNTRY EDITOR COMING INTO HIS OWN. THE country editor is slowing coming into his own. Tho Info .Tnlm .Tnlmcrm nf AfimiPsnTJi w.ns nnn nf them. The present -republican nominee for governor of Ohio is another. In Oregon, we have Colonel E. Hofer, still another, as a formidable candidate for governor. There is no reason why the live country editor should not share in the honors bestowed by the people. Much of the progress of the community is due to his untiring efforts, usually efforts made without a thought of recom pense, and often unappreciated by the recipients. No country editor ever grows wealthy. If he makes a good living he does better than the average. His busi ness is not such that he can make much money. It is al ways a struggle to make both ends meet and keep his rec ord untarnished. If he makes any money, it goes into bettering his product. Like the artist, he follows the occu pation because he loves it not for financial gain, for one tenth the brains and energy make many a man, whose chief asset is the accumulative instinct, wealthy. Country editors usually have no political aspirations. They understand vanity fair too well to sigh for gilded baubles. But when office is bestowed upon them, they are equal to the occasion. THE NEW WATER SYSTEM. "1X7" ITH the installation of the Little Butte gravity wa- ter system Medford is now in the race of prog ress, minus her greatest handicap. JTrorn the swaddling days of the village Med has carried this awful handicap. River towns have scoffed at Medford as the veritable Sahara of southern Oregon. With no other supply than the polluted waters of Bear creek, which during the month of August has formed a habit of going as dry as Kansas elections, the infant city fell a victim to every epidemic that municipal flesh is heir to, until the magnificent enterprise of her citizens stepped into the breach like a mighty Aaron and smote the rugged snow-covered sides of Mt. McLaughlin with a half-million-dollar rod and caus6d a stream of pure water to gush forth sufficient for a city of 30,000. The public spirit that overcomes such obstacles cannot be denied; it will found a metropolis in spite of every adversity, and now watch the speedometer of Medford 's progress click off the milestones of growth. BARTLETTS1NWESTERN NEW YORK DO WELL NEW YORK, July 28. Tho yield of Bartlett pears In westorn Now York will bo a surprise to many who have heard cci siderable talk about a short crop. There nro fully twice aa many Bartletts In this section be tween Buffalo and Rochester, than thoro was a yoar ago. Tho fruit is developing nlcoly, but thero Is a little, scale showing and a groat deal of tho fruit Is f.'fected with "psylla," a disease which devolopes a cloudy smoke Bpot on tho pear.

WILSLIN 0 Larflo Audience at Tabernacle En Joys Points Matlo hy Debaters Wilson Defends the German Beer Garden, Hofer Speaks for the Salem Plan of Open Saloon Fronts and Strict Rcnulatlon, Wilson for Prohibition of Manufacture. The joint debate at the taberuaele hist night between How Clarence True Wilson of Portland uml Colonel E. Hofer of Sulom on the proposed constitutional amendment drew u very largo nudienue. lloth sides of the question were presented in a fearless mid inipusslonuto manner that left no room for doubt us to the earnestness and conviction of tho speakers. Tho Rev. Wilson opened the debato and the speakers alter nated with n half hour each for two hours and held the entire audiuuee to the finish. Hon. H. F. Mulkey noted as chniimmi and held tho watch as timekeeper. Dr. Wilson's argument was triut ly on prohibition lines. He was put on tho defense when Colonel Hofer asked him why the same organiza tion which proposed the local option Inw n few years ago were now try ing to overthrow their own work by substituting statewide prohibition. Dr. Wilson stated that local option was only the entering wedgo for statewide prohibition. Ho denounc ed the Neddy bill as infamous, mid charged the wholesale Honor dealers and brewers of Portland with de bauching tho moral sentiment of the whole state by shipping liiiors into the dry counties mid accused the li quor interests of being responsible for gambling and moral vice and with thu extension uf bootlegging and illicit jnle which had becomo very common and could not be suppressed unless the manufacture ami sale was stopped, ns proposed by the consti tutional amendment. Colonel Hofer Cites Iowa. Colonel Hofer stated that he was born and rnucd in the state of Iowa and had lived through n ten-year struggle to establish constitutional prohibition in thnt state, and did not want to see prohibition repeated in Oregon. The sumo law was pro posed here And a state constabulary, with power to enter private resi dences and nny place of business and search, seize and destroy liquors wherever found, and confiscate property and involve the state in costly litigation.

A now head of tho army, Gonoral Leonard Wood, will not forsako tho old dlrl Ighlo baloon as a military alrcroft In favor than the honvlor-than-alr-machluo. According to tho Gonorai, hoavlor-than-alr-machlnos havo proven tholr practicability for many purposes, but oven tho recont bomb throwing tosta at Atlantic City and Now York hnvo failed to convinco him that thoy aro as yet sufflcontly perfected to moot tho requirements of wnr.

"Tho dirigibles already havo prov on that t'loy aro useful In military manouvors," said WoodB.

To extend "dry" sentiment over "wet" territory meant strife mid disorder, lawlessness mid bootlegging, discord in communities, had feelings between business men mid neighbors, mid in the end compromise mid surrender, just as it hud taken place in the statu of Iowa. Defends Deer Garden, Dr. Wilson, as chairman of the "dry" campaign committee, defended the German beer garden mid the so cial drinking customs of the German people. He also defended the pri vate rmht to drink mid the use of alcoholic liquors us medicine in cum) of sickness. Colonel Hofer ridiculed thoso ooncossions ns being inconsis tent mid insincere. He asked how these rights could ho given the peo ple when the manutacturo and stile was to be prohibited 1 Dr. WiImiii would t;ive thu people a beer garden without any beer, the private right to drink without the privilege of ex ercising that tight, unless they be came lawbreakers. Colonel Hofer attacked the clausu of the prohibition amendment which permits manufautiire mid salu for medicinal purposed as being in the interest of the druggists mid the medical trust. He showed by sta tistics that Maine, Kansas, North Dakota and other prohibition states had more government liquor licenses lor capita than states under local oiitiou mid regulation. He showed that there were twice as mnnv di vorces in prohibition states as in states where the traffic was regulat ed. He claimed that tho city of Tho Dalles, contrasted with Pendleton aud other dry cities in Kustorn Ore gon, had made most progress mid was most prosperous and that Snlem and Medford were the most prosper ous cities in Western Oregon and that their prosperity was not injured by having regulation of saloons. He defended the Salem system of a lim- !i.I 1 .. it - lieu iiuiuoer ol smoous Willi open glass fronts, with no gambling de vices or Illinois permitted, as the modol mid well-regulated city of Or egon.

COIiUMMUS, 0 July 28.--Tills is the day of the imlitieal grouch In Ohio. Following tho Itepiibliciiu stnto convention yesterday, insurg ents today are accusing Juiuou II. Garfiuld, looked upon as the pro gressive leader of thu state, of "quitting." The nomination of Warren Maid ing for Governor is regarded as mi indication of tho renppoarnnoo of Former Senator Joseph II. Forakor into politics, mid this menus, un cording to tho wise ones, the down full of Senator lliirtou mid the Northern Ohio Itepublican leaders. Incioen a, the disgruntled He publicans of whom there seem to be mi abundance in nil parts of thu state are predicting the slaughter of the party at the, polls this fall mid u clean sweep for thu Demo crats, President Tuft is reported greatly pIoiimkI with the work of the con vention. ItOOMOVOlt DllXilltUflcil. Popular rumor heru says that Theodore Itoosevelt, who openly ex pressed the wish that a progressive platform bo adopted, does not like either the candidates or thu plat form. All in nil, the Republican leaders today seemed to bo engaged m u game of cross-purpoHos, Harding, who has been a consist ent stund-patlor, is one of the strongest supporters of Fo raker and has long been one of his close friends. Harding wub at first re garded as the Po raker candidate mid it was believed that he stood the least cliauco of the three regular candidates for the nomination. That he received enough votes to win is believed by politicians to indicate that Foraker has "come linuk." Fur ther, it is hinted that it may pro sago an nllianco between Foraker uml Cox, which is strong enough to control the pnrtv in the Mute. ' IiiMirgciits Ultimo Garfield. Foraker's chief opixjnents come' from the northern cud nf the state, where Senator Morton is regarded as thu Icador of the regulars. The nomination of Harding, therefore, is considered mi indication that war between Murton mid Foraker may limit; out mid (hut the northern lenders will get the worst of the en counter. The insurgents are perhaps the most disnnpooiutcd of the factious developed by the convention. They are openly saying today thnt if Gar field had not quit ho had an excel lent chance of winning the nomina tion and thnt if ho hud carried thu platform fight to the floor of thu convention the regulars would havo been routed and the insurgents would have swept tho convention. BARCELONA WORKMEN PREPARE DEMONSTRATION MAUCKLONA, via Figuorus, July 28. The iudustriul population of llurcelonu is preparing u demonstra tion tomorrow in conjunction with the invasion of 120,000 Spanish ex iled who will demand of the govern ment general amnesty for partici pants in the riots hero last summer. Tho energy with which such demon strations nro curried on leaves no doubt but thnt it will bo a dangoroua affair. Large quantities of bombs, arms mid ammunition are said to bu concealed in readiness for uso fol lowing thu general striko. Sonor Claromont, at tho bond of the exiles, is reported to have noti fied Captain General Weylur that unless thu government decrees a general amnesty he will march, with his followers, upon Barcelona. Gen eral Weyler said that ho did not think the exiles would dare to iros; the border or that tho strikers would reco nl to violence, Ho has ttikou every military precaution, however, to prevent mi outbreak, CARD OP THANKS.
