The open season Is on for little Johnny to chase his baseball in the J neighbor's garden. "It your 'life is tuU ot hard knocks keep banging aawy." advises n Medford minister.

There is small eneourtigemeni ju Oregon to be progressive in anything save polities. Our special guardians, the courts, have forbidden us from spending "tho state's money, appropriated by tho legislature for a state highway to Crater .Lake, and have stopped us from spending our own money for permanent count highways. Xow comes a new set of guardians in the guise of the Oregon Association for Highway Improvement, presided over bv 0. T. Trail, with an initiative bill to prevent coun ties from issuing road bonds exceeding two percent of the assessed valuation of the county. This would mean $750. 000 for Jackson county, instead of $1,000,000 which the people voted not enough to do half tho development work needed. hi other words, this association does not think that the people can he trusted to spend their own money, that Jackson county people do not know what they want, and that the association is better qualuied to tell tliein than they are themselves. It is thv stand-pat idea in polities applied to business the fool people haven't sense enough to manage their own at fairs. The association does not think tho bonds would be salable unless limited to two percent of tlje valuation. The association wouldn't market these bonds, and it doesn't need to shoulder these troubles. Jackson county would have to market them herself, could and would find a read market for all issued, just as California coun ties do. By prompt action, that is by voting for bonds upon initiative petition at the general election in November, ac cording to the supreme court decision, these bonds can be voted without restrictions before the proposed initiative law goes into effect and that is what must and will be done. THE GREY SQUIRREL STATESMAN. E VHR since J. AW Morton of Salem visited Medford and informed a breathlessly awaiting populace that he sought the republican nomination as United States senator, a wondering world has puzzled over the problem win so great a man sought so small an office. Now conies the state voters' pamphlet solving the puzzle by publish ing the candidate's glorious record. Mr. Morton's chief claim to fame, according to his own statement, is his record as a statesman made while serv ing a term in the Oregon legislature. This consisted in the authorship of the celebrated statute protecting silver grey squirrels. Seldom does it fall to the lot of an individual to frame such an elaborate piece of legislation, one calculated to change the destinies ot a mighty race, to prevent the I extermination of a great nation, to save for posterity so" powertul a people. It is but right that Oregon fitly recognizes such great service and bestows whatever poor honors it can as an earnest of its gratitude and appreciation. Let us send the noblest statesman of them all to the nation's capital, so that from every forest tree in all our vast domain may wave the fluttering silver-grey tail of the scampering squirrel barking joyously its huzzas for Morton the squir rel statesman! ESSENTIALS inp HE Mail Tribune says that Judge Dunn is honest - and economical. That is just what the people want," exclaims the village press. Yes the people want honesty and economy, but, admir able as these virtues be, they alone are not sufficient. Honesty and economy do not redeem narrowness, ignor ance and unprogressiveness. "Vhat is needed as well as economy and honesty, is efficiency and progress iveness and Judge Dunn lacks these essentials. Progressive Administration Needed (From the Central Point Herald.) I Jackson county needs a business ! administration of county affairs dnr ing the coming four years, but that does not mean that the county can afford a policy of retrogression that would allow public Improvements to remain at a standstill. The people of the county last fall declared themselves, in no uncertain terms on the matter of good roads and the man or set of men who hopo to elect unprogresslves to tho county- board will find an uphill Job to carry through. Undoubtedly too much money has been spent by tho county during the past few years considering tho amount accomplished, but that is no reason why anybody should want to bury all improvements and go back to the days of the pack trail or tho freight wagon. The Rogue River valley Is no longer a "cheap proposition." Land values hero aro high as compared with many western communities, but they aro worth the price, because they will bring liberal returns on tho Investment and at the same time furnish tho owner a home in tho most delightful climate and amid tho most picturesque surroundings In America. Tho people who have al ready come hero and tho people who are coming, u tho future are ot that class who demand modern conveni ences. Good roads head the list of ueeded things. We must therefore select men who will continue im provements and who wilt glvo us 100 cents' worth of Improvements for each dollar expended. TtHSPFQITO MATTi TRTTUJim GUARDIANS. LACKING. It doesn't .matter mj much how much public money Is spent if it is honestly and Intelligently spent for permanent improvements. Jackson county wants no admin istration which will simply sit tight on the lid and squeeze two-bit pieces. We mufct have progression, honest, straightforward progression, remembering always that in caso of foolishness, graft or waste there- is always the recall.
