Howard was tho first mayor of Medford, and not Dr. Gcnry ns published. Mr. Howard, who !s known as the fnther of Medford, was ehairmun of tho board of incorpora tion in 1885 and elected president of tho council, serving as such n year, Then tho charter was changed and a mayor provided, Mr. Howard serving us Mich. In 1887 Dr. Goury was elect ed mayor, so that ho wns Boco.id mayor of Medford iusteud of first, THE VOICE ANKW gratuitous press service is being offered news pnpera this one nt any rate. The offer e.onies from the "American Telegraph Press, .Inc.," of Washington, D. 0. It is in tho form of a "daily democratic letter" by Winfiold .Tones, "formerly with the Hearst service." A month's free service, is offered. "If at the end of a mouth's trial you would like to have the letter regularly wc will quote you an astonishingly low price tor it. and will be glad to have your order. If you do not. want it. at the end of the moiitli that will be all right. You will owe us nothing." Tho letters have started and will probably continue all through the campaign there is no way of stopping them. They contain the ordinary partisan rehash of the political hack-writer, painting in gruesome colors tho factional fights of the republican organization and in rainbow hues the harmony of democracy. One is at first puzzled to know in whose interest the money is being spent which faction or candidate gets the benefit. However, the last sentence in eachfletter tells the story. J lure is a sample final paragraph: "Careful observation here activities of the candidates seems to indicate that Harmon has the lead with Uiulei wood second in the running. structed delegates but he is nor. strong m the south, and his support at present is principally in members' of con gress, who are in personal contact with the speaker. Wilson, while still strong, seems to have lost, some of his strength. His boom reached its apogee before the others began to loom up larger on the political horizon, and the Ilarvey-Wattcrson episode undoubtedly cost him heavily. To Washington observers it appears that Harmon is stead ily gaining, while Underwood is also making progress." And when we remember that Harmon and Underwood are the Wall street favorites that even .1. Pierp. has endorsed them the mysterv is solved. Though the hand be, the hand of Esau, the voice being the pioneer of frenzied FUNDAMENTAL npniS country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?" Abraham Lincoln. "There are those who do not believe that all the people are fitted for popular government. Some of us (hire not say so, but I do. We are called upon now, we of the bar, to say whether we are going to protect the institution of the judiciary, and continue it independent (f the majority, or of all the people." President Taft. "I believe in pure democracy. With Lincoln, I hold that this country, with its institutions, belongs to the peo ple who inhabit it. We progressives believe that the j)co ple have the right, power and the duty to protect them selves and their own welfare; that human rights are su preme over all other rights; that wealth should be the ser vant, not the master, of the people. We believe that unless representative government people it i not representative Theodore Roosevelt. Faith in the people this, in a nutshell, is the differ ence between the progressive and the reactionary, tin all governments. There can be no harmony between Taft and Roosevelt, for their fundamental principles differ. One is an aristo crat, the other a democrat. The difference between the political faith of Roosevelt today and that of Bryan is that of tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. The platforms of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson are identical while there is much in common be tween Taft and Harmon. It is high time that those who have the same political faith discarded the fetish of partisanship and worked for a common cause toward a common end regardless of the party label that the candidate wears. SCHOOL REVOLUTION AN UPHEAVAL of New York public school methods is the aim of a campaign launched there by Frank D. Wilsey, a member of the board of education. Among other charges he makes are the follewing: "Our present methods are defective because unstable and superficial. We don't teach fundamentals. It is a pity that our educators don't realize that a child's, mind is more or less like his stomach and almost sis easy to overcrowd, and where it is overfed, mental illness ensues. "Tho New York curriculum is now a hodge-podge of a lot of useless stuff. When a new method or course was adopted, something inferior should have been removed to make a place for it, but instead, for 20 years, we have been adding without eyer dropping anything." New York is not the only state where the curriculum contains a hodge-podge of useless stuff taught at the expense of the essentials. The percentage of failures in examinations in Oregon shows that our methods need revolutionizing also.
