A SONG OP REST. O -weary ImndB! that, all the day, Were set to labor hard and lone, Now softly fall the shadows gray, The bells are rung for even song. An hoar ago the golden sun Sank slowly down Into the west; Poor, weary hands your toll Is done; Tls time for rest! 'tis time for rest! O weary feet! that many a mile Have trudged along a stony way, At last ye reach the trystlng stile; No longer fear to go astray. The gently bending, rustling trees Rock the young birds within the nest, Aad softly sings the quiet brceze: "'TIs time for rest! 'tis time for rest!" O weary eyes, from which tho tears Fell ninny a time like thunder rain O weary heart! that through the years Beat with such bitter, endless pain, Tonight forgot tho stormy strife, And know what heaven shall send Is best; Lay down the tangled web of life; 'Tis time for rest! 'tis time for rest! Florence Tyleo, in Chamber's Jour nal. A HIGH OLD TIME. His wife's gone to tho country, Ho sings in accents light, Of pastimes gay throughout tho day And social games by night. Suit 'spite of all his joking, Inspect him close enough, And you will seo, 'twlxt you and me, His gayety's a bluff. He simply goes on working LIko any other man.. When day is gono ho elts out on The front fltep with u fen. His hosiery needs mending; His buttons, too, are lost. Tho morniug meal is an ordoal And dinner is a frost. He goes out ovory pay day, And mails his earnings bard, And without fail each morning's mall Drings him a picturo card. And yot tho playful neighbors Come 'round to him and say: "Bnjoy yourself, you giddy elf; Your wife has gono r.way!" Solected, OLD POLITICAL PURITY PREACHES. NEWSPAPERS over the comintry are being furnished free pamphlets containing the address delivered by that distinguished example of good citizenship, "William F. Herrin, political boss of California, at the Corvallis commencement. The address is entitled "Public Duties of Educated Men." In addition to the oracular copy book platitudes that usually form an integral part of the oily, frock coat, PCck snif fian brand of statesmanship of which Mr. Herrin is so illustrious an example, the address is adroitly directed against "certain recent innovations in our governmental machinery" that "make strongly against the delibera tion that is so essential to sound legislation." In brief, the address is an attack upon direct legislation and a plea for the perpetuation of the political machine so ably man ipulated for the public good for so many years in Califor nia by this same conservator of the public morals, W. P. Herrin. Of course the judgment of Mr. ILerrhi, as "skilled ex pert" is immeasurably superior to that of the people of California on "matters pertaining to the public welfare," particularly the Southern Pacific's welfare, for in the matter of public corruption, Mr. Herrin and his followers are indeed "trained specialists." Enlightening and deliriously refreshing are Mr. Her rin 's remarks upon the press. He states: "The political hope of the present century, the first decade of which is now drawing to a close, is very closely bound up with the winning of the press to higher as dis tinguished from lower standards of judgment, and to a nobler development of wisdom and courage. I am not without hope that the great powers of the press for good or evil will, as time goes on, inspire in it an enlarged sense of responsibility, give it a new birth of devotion to the higher purposes of life." Mi. Herrin has contributed, if reports are true, no small amount in transportation and linotypes to the "win ning of the press" to "higher standards," has given many a struggling publisher "a new birth of devotion to the higher purposes of life," and the word "higher," we pre sume is used by Mr. Herrin in the same sense as it was by Mr. Heney, when he referred to Mr. Herrin as the man "higher up." The devotion of such a large proportion of the press of California to Mr. Herrin s machine shows what great success has attended his efforts to exalt it as an "ennobling agency" to "dominate the work-a-day world." Somebody once said that "prostitution is the founda tion of prosperity," and Mr. Herrin 's career seems to prove it. What a travesty on good citizenship is William P. Herrin lecturing to school boj's on "public duties of educated men!" E SETTING FIRES! Medford Residents Can Well Profit by Disastrous Fires Now Raging and Avoid Similar Occurences Just Be Careful. While there are big fires raging in the entire country it might be well for the people around Medford to be a little careful about the setting or handling of fires in tho foothills near town. At this time of year the brush is very dry. Although It Is green and some might scout the idea of its burn ing to any sorious extent should It get on fire, those familiar with thiB brush in countries where it grows large and thick know that some very disastrous fires are the result of a blaze getting started in it. Perhaps the most dangerous place for ono of these blazes to got started would be In tho territory around Jacksonville. There is a great deal of brush In that territory and some of it is more thau tho average in size and density. This is now as dry aa tinder and should It get on fire would burn like a powder house, ' Should this happen at a time whon a strong wind was blowing it would travel so rapidly that the probabili ties are a number of houses scatter ed o.ver that country would bo des troyed In spite of all that could be dono. For this reason both young and old cannot bo too careful In the way they handle fire while in tho brush region, Reginald Is III. NEWPORT, It.

BALLIN6ER Replies to Disparagers in Lengthy Statement Outlines His Idea of Conservation and Discusses Accusations. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Characterizing the criticisms of his policies as "hysteriu," Secretary of the Interior lialliugcr replied to his disparagers today in a lengthy statement. Ho also defines his idea of conservation. 'Bnllingor is today on his way to Seattle. "The accusations lodged uguinst me," says Ballinger'a statement, "in (he last nnnlysis cannot he dignified by tho term accusation or even legit imate criticism. Whatever differ ences may be discovered between my administration and that of my prede cessor will probably be found in the fact that in the administration of the public domain I have felt the neces sity of having thu authority of con gress, with which tbo constitution has lodged solo power to prescribe the law regulating tho public domain. "In the other enso, any action when considered desirable was deem ed authorized unless there was stat utory prohibition ngainst it. This doctrine is too ubsurd to wurrant serious action. "I believe in development and in tbut churactcr of conservation which will permit of development, and this may bo obtained under rational laws without doing violence to uny just views of conservation.
