This man had for twenty years been a trusted, indus trious and faithful elerk in a factory, had married and led the usual life of the "respectable" but snobbish and hopeless "middle-class." lived np to his income and en joyed the narrow and limited opportunities of his caste. At the ago of 38 he found himself suddenly let out, unfit ted for any other occupation and "too old" to secure em ployment in similar concerns. Vainly he sought work, only to bo turned away. On the verge of starvation, the idea occurred to him that the majority of emigrants to America, ignorant and unskilled though there, were, achieved competence and success, and he resolved to sell everything he had, drop out of the life of associates in the trim houses of the well kept suburb, and follow in the emigrants' footsteps. Not hav ing money enough to leave Boston, he rented a tenement apartment, donned overalls, and got work as a day laborer in a subway at $1.50 a day. ' The wife proved a good economist and helpmate. They saved some money each week out of the wages. He found that there was pleasure even in digging a ditch and a sci ence in making every move count. He soon became an ex pert, got acquainted with his Italian co-laborers and learn ed their language. He found night schools at his service and took courses in construction work and draftsmanship, and in the coui'se of time was made sub-foreman, then foreman with hundreds of men under him. His acquain tance with workmen enabled him to select the best, and his knowledge of their language and customs made his gang the most efficient in the citv. Eventuallv he saw a chance bv utilizing his savings to take a small contract.' The industry, perseverance and sobriety, and the pa tient plodding that had brought no appreciation for the clerk, were richlv rewarded m tho larger life of the real people, and the New England emigrant's rise to success was rapid. There is a good lesson in this for the young men of to day, who prefer clerical work and snobbish "respectabil ity," a cog in a great machine, and a hopeless future, to the life of toil and physical labor and self-reliance. The mechanic has a better chance in life than the clerk but life is full of opportunity for the man willing to work, who will use his brains. Opportunities abound in the east still more in the west, most of all in the northwest, for the man with ability enough to grasp them willing to plod along hi the good old-fashioned way of thrift and industry. cause ho made a most capable official and because he kept, hobton, Oct. is.

W HEN the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be. "When the devil was well, the devil a saint was he." .. 4. MISS HENRY IS NOW MRS. WILBUR Miss Talma-Zotta-Henry, tho dra matic teacher wl o recently arrived In Medford from Oakland, waa married to Mr. Osccr 13. Wilbur of San Fran cisco Wednesday morning at 7:30 a. m. on 'tho stops of the Prosbytorlan church. Tho marriage was tho cul valai tlon of .". romance begun In Cal ifornia, Tho couple left Medford this morn-, ing for a honeymoon trip through tho east. A crowd of Mrs. Wilbur's .friends, ombraclng tho personnel of the Medford Dramatic club's vau devlllo production, staged In Med ford two wooko ago for tho benefit of the city library fund, woro at tho depot with rice and old bUocs. Perhaps this explains some of the amusing paradoxes of the Oregon political campaign. The primary made various candidates sick and willing to pose as saints, at least until after election. But after election look out. We have Jay Bowerman, slayer of normal schools, leader of the assembly, nominated as the man best qual ified to carry out the purposes of the assembly, which defined by the Oregonian, the papa of the assembly, were "to put the knife into each and all who declare for State ment One," now posing as a champion of Statement One until after election. "We have assembly nominated Congressman Hawley, wno, as benator L.a Jroliette said, was a iaithf id and sub servient servant of the system in congress, who voted for Cannon and the "interests" down the line, proclaiming himself as having "no interests to serve but the public in- ffM'PQTs" nnfil offnv nlnnfirvri We have Dan Malarkcy and other pro-primary anti assembly candidates, who heaped invective and abuse upon the assembly and its principles, now vigorously campaign ing for the few successful assembly candidates, advocat ing betrayal of principle for "party harmony" until after election. t But most amusing of all, we have Joshua Patterson, rejected candidate for county commissioner, turned down in the primaries by the majority of voters of his own party because he does not know how to build good -roads, so anx ious to continue at the public crib that he is running as an independent candidate on a "good roads" platform. It is to laugh! It is anything to get the votes but you can't fool all the people all the time. PRINCIPLE ABOVE PARTY.

OENATOR BOURNE has placed principle above party and advices the abandonment of party when party success means the abandonment of principle. Because the election of Jay Bowerman means the suc cess of the assembly, the restoration of machine govern ment, and the opening wedge in the attack on popular rule, Senator Bourne lias advised his defeat. Bowerman 's success spells defeat of principle, and wiiuu miima auancion principle, tncy lose the commence or tne people ana they deserve to lose it. Bourne is being viciously assailed by the Oregonian and all assembly papers. His record in the senate may be open for .assault, but attacks upon him because he fa vors success of principle rather than success of party, wui uju.y increase ins popuiamv. J hmkmg people no longer vote for a man because ho wears a party label. At best the modern political party is but a collection of pie-eaters, financed by corporations. as long as the pie-eaters hide behind principle, they are tolerated.
