John Henry Jasper Johnson is a leader of reforms, Always somewhere In tho center of our economic storms. And he fights for the afflicted and he weeps for tho oppressed Till his swelling bosom often breaks the buttons off his vest. He has spoken for the wretched clean from Beersheba to Dan And he'll gladly rail all morning at tho tyranny of man, And I'm sure a three-Inch spyglass searching ever and anon Couldn't find a man in favor of more big reforms than John. Ah 5 but when he seeks his slippers and his leather-covered couch, He'B tho meanest-tempered uplift man that over nursed a grouch. How he hollers at the children! How he growls at Mrs. J.! Till they feel like singing ragtime when he leaves them for a day. Now James W. McSmlthers Is anoth er type oh, yes, And he cops our local dollars with re markable success; And he nabs our city franchises as often as they're loose, And ho owns cloven aldermanlc votes for private use. And when very gentle editors start classifying James, "A parasitic tyrant" Is tho mildest of their names; And always when he's mentioned he Is qualified as thus "Boss McSmlthers civic vampire ' our disgraceful Incubus!" But, good gracious, you should see him in tho bosom of his folks, Playing hide-and-seek with baby, toll ' ing Bobby funny Jokes, Such a chap for romps and 'frolics In tho daily family life! Such a man for little picnics with tho kiddies and tho wife! And so I'm not decided whether I should choose to bo Just an enomy of mankind with a loving family, Or a frlond of all creation from Jo hannesburg to Nome, With the children undor sofas wbon papa comes grumplng homo, Horatio WInslow, lu Puck. PROGRESSIVE EPUBLTCANS are presenting such good candidates for the legislature that there will likely bo no demo R cratic opposition. The latest candidates to file announcements are IT. von dor ITclleii of "Wellen, who offers himself, at the solicit ation of friends, for state senator. He is a kindly, cour teous gentleman of the old school, who has served tho peo-. pie well as representative, is familiar with legislative methods and will undoubtedly ably represent Jackson county in tho senate. Captain M. P. Eggleston of Ashland, who has announc ed his candidacy for the legislature, is one of the best known citizens of the valley. ITc has "made good" iu office and is well qualified to represent his constituency. The candidates, so far announced, have subscribed to Statement No. 1, pledging themselves to vote for the pop ular choice for United States senator, thus showing them selves in sympathy with the progressive element of the party, and in accord with the wishes of the people. AN IMPORTANT OFFICE. IT IS a matter of uublic congratulation that Gcoree L. Davis has consented to be a candidate for count v commissioner. He should be nominated and elected in a walk. No office in the county is more important to the people than that of county commissioner. No office, rightly ad- . . i i .. ,.

Upon the county commissioners rests the material wel fare of the county through the highways, which are the nrterins of its commerce. Upon the character of highways "largely depends, not only the market value of the farm : r-rs and fruitgrowers' crops, but the value of the farm or orchard itself. Accessibility value of both land and product. ttnnrf mnds is the most important problem before the people of Jackson county. It is essential, at this period of growth and expansion, that we have scientific road construction. Last year some $80,000 was spent on the roads and good roads experts pronounce most of it wast ed and the present system of road construction wreng: Progressive citizens generally will welcome a chance to vote for a progressive man for county commissioner and Mr. .Davis fills the bill. SIGNS OF RAY STANDARD BAKER, the special writer, be lieves that the country is on the eve of a great social and political revolution. In his article in the September American Magazine he says that the strength of the so called insurgent movement is underestimated. He be gins his article, which deals with the progressive move ment in Rochester, as follows : "Less than one year ago those cluefly in authority at Washington, not knowing the sure signs of impending rev olution, were complacently reading the insurgents of the west out of the ranks of the republican party. Thd upris ing was looked upon as a street riot caused by certain rude and unruly fellows who were to be crushed out by swift violence. " 'A mirage,' said Secretary Ballinger of the interior department, referring to the uprising in his speech at St. Paul. 'Treason,' said Attorney General Wickersham, at the Hamilton club. 'Hypocrisy,' -said the president him self, referring in his speech at Newark to the criticism of his administration. Not one of these men seemed to see or hear or feel the old order crumbling around him. "And yet within six months' time the speaker of the house, who had seemed impregnably fortified, has gone down to defeat in the heat and din of battle. Aldrich and Hale have abdicated without offering to join issue with the people of their own states, and a score of other leaders for so long dominant in the party both senators and rep resentativeslook with fear to the results of the fall elec tions. Public opinion, indeed, has seemed to rise for the moment above the ordinary machinery of governvent, and to work its will regardless of elections or platforms or par ties." .
