Mr Kcc, Who is at Present Assistant Postmaster Finht is Waxing Warmer and Warmer. Ashland is in the throes of a con test for the postiuastorHhip though n ono would know it if thoy depended upon the newspapers of the heavenly oily to find it out. Tho newspapers in Ashland are edited on a policy of strict conservatism, every item of human interest that may poitray the least taint pf feeling being (tlimti.it ed lest it distuib the peaceful slum ber of some citizen of the gieat home town of Oregon.

Mr. Casey is an old soldier and iiilo aged, In the past ho has jiroimsed to recommend Mr. AIfli$e at his successor and the Assistart Postmaster has remained with the service with tho object of ulliinnteh being appointed postmaster on tho fdrongtli of his record for efficiency and tho strong hold he has on the jpul'Iio confidence, and on undoubted popularity with the -people.

Hgglcslon, representative of Jackson county at the legislatiuc, one of the most widely and favorably known end most prominent citizens of .Southern Oregon, who for many years ha faithfully and efficiently served the public in various capacities. Heaicd on an Indiana fiiiiu, appointed to West Point at an eaily age Captain Kggleston served as an oJ floor in the army at various posts foi ten j ears after graduation. Tiling of aimy life, lie resigned and for u ,'eiiod pursued tho luocation of mining engineer. Coming to Soulhori 'hegon in 1802, ho drifted into journalism and founded (he Ashland Towi Talk, which became the Ashland Tiibuue and later the Medford Tribune Abandoning journalism, Captain Kggleston studied law, was admitte. to practice and for many years held the duiil position of municipal judge .mil lecoider of the city of Ashland. Fow cities have enjoyed as impaitia and efficient uu administration as that given by him, and public appieeia lion was manifested by his repeated eleclioir. In politics Captain Kggleston was a silicoivi believer in progressive politics, lie played a prominent role in the eild Populist paity days, am as manager of the- Hryitn campaign in '00, helped lei carry Jackson couni by a thousand majority for the Nebraskan. 'Willi tins niloption of tie initiative and referendum, Captain Kggleston returned to the Kepublicu tion was mani'fested by repualeel elections. Though but a sheirt lime in the lcgislatuie, Captain Kggleslein'.s abilii was at once lecognized. He wns a formidable candielate ior speaker urn was mado u member of the most important committees. The bills he intr-i elueeel are ovidene-e eif the care utiel study spent in their compilation, au las loss is a seve-ro blow to Jackson ceninty. Captain Kggle-ston was tho pioneer booster eif Southern Oie'gon. A score of years ago he wioto tlio first "boom" literature', the first publicil..

As piesiilent of the Commercial e-lub he blazed tho path thai has sinee been followed with such material success. Captain Kggleston was an all round and evenly developed characlei Ho followed many avocations und made geiod in them all. His poise an. judicial temperament, his mastery of minutin, peculiarly fitted him fo public service, and his loss, in tho prime of life.'is keenly felt, sineerel legretled anel nioiirned by a large ciice eif friend.- and admirers, friends and aehaiiers. GROWING INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRESS. TA7"K hear meiro or loss talk eif a subsidized press. Senile of it is base-l on fact, more em fancy. The press is far i e independent loda Ihaii since newspapers were fiiM invented, freer from prejudice anel parti Minship ami oven from tlje tainted infliieucu oT tlie'eounling house. The early papersl like the e-aily wi iters, were all subsidised in som form or other. They were personal, faction en parly organs, with ne-w-'iiid geissip a secondary cnnsidernlion, coloiml to suit the oei'asioti. Froa Ilio political tract, dodger and pamphlet of te centuries ago has ovolvei1 ! Hie metropolitan newspaper eil teidny. It was Jiut natural that tho niliiig caste should edit the early papoi is they edited the output of the onil. uritoi's. Authors were i'irs't slave ib in Aeseip's ease, and later public charge, as in Greece, or deponeloiits ..r pensioners of the gieat, t-ven as late as Johnson V time. It is only lb past century en- so that the pen of geuiius broiidit a livelihooil ami tin author could live by his produetieui. So it has been in the short histem of journalism, only iceontly that the newspaper has been a sulf-.uppoitiu'-iisfilutiein. Aesop's copy was edited to please lib, niastei's, (he great of that fa .iw'ay day. lie preached the virtue of obedience, docility, industry, (. -Iiongthiiu the rule of the tew oer the many. So with succeeding genera ions of writers until a ery late day "loiiiler unto (War the things thai a re Caesar's" was always the central theme, and those in authority saw 'n it that the literatim) produced still further iiitieuehed them in pouoi Chinch or nobility lx them and used them, (ienius had over to htimhh ttud prostitute itself, to flatter, to e-ojolo, to lio, to propitiate the unwoitln ii older Jo net three meals a day. Ujider such eoiidiliouM was the newspnper born. With it came th jrowlhof education mill the spieail of democracy, e'reatiug a demand foi rlio writer ami an opportunity for tho newhpapor.
