C JOLTS AND JINGLES By Ad Brawn 1 wish I lived in Talent For peo'e I hen would say, "There goes :i man of talent," When I passed on my way. The torpedo boat destroyer Jenkins has been launched. Wouldn't it ue fine if this simple name idea could be extended to the Pullman cars? ' It now ungears that in Texas there is a town named Jsmnv that wishes its named changed. This was inevil- able. "If Hoosevelt is elected he will pr bably coin ninny phrases excoriating the doings of capital," says La Fol lette,. "but I doubt much if these phrases will be efficacious in brinj; injt down prices." Some talk for .1 small man. The poll in Boston was a record urenKur. sort or a bean poll, no doubt. Foolish lVople. Some people read the iapcr "" t01" ue price of wheat or hops, Aml have a nervous breakdown ,r-. Every time the market flops. But I don't care for markets, Nor floodsj-nor wrecks, nor war; Tho. only thniK I'm after Is the baseball score. i Imngine people reading Little poems about the flowers, When bnseball teams are fighting All about this land of ours I Some people sure are foolish Editorials to explore When in the self same paper They could find the score. BLUE LEDGE LURE TO GRANTS PASS A rumor to the effect that Grants Pass and not Medford would bo tho city that would possess the connect lng link between the minerals of the lllue Ledge camp and the markets of the coast Is current In tho city. Since Medford held the mass meet ing nearly a month ago, boosters of Grantu Pbsb, seeing that their de sired territory of tho Applegate val ley was about to bo wrested from them by this city, have put forth ev ery effort to interest railroad men and bond buyers In making Grants Pass the key city to tho enormous wealth of tho Blue Ledge camp. Two days before the excursion of Medford business men who visited the mine, an auto load of engineers from GrantB Pass, accompanied by a representative of a bonding firm, looked over tho mine and the coun try tributary thereto. Again It is rumored thut certain Influential cit izens of the Pass havo stated to Southern Pacific officials that they fitund ready to ralso $150,000 If the road will build from that city. It Is Btated with absolute certainty that negotiations have been opened with Mr. Towno and with tho Hill lines to ascortatn their stand in regard to tho chances of Grants Pass. Owing to tho fact that this city has begun tho work, the Grants Pass men havo kopt tho results of their findings to themselves. Ilowovor, those- who know tho amount of work accomplished by tho two cities state that at tho prcsont timo Grants Pass is in bettor shape to present figures to any company that would bo like ly to.Jnprost themselves lit the building of tho railroad. BEOALLINGr THOSE eminent statesmen, whose principal occupation is knocking, those "capitalists" whose occupation is hutching n ten percent lower taxation would halt through no Taint or merit of their own have been enabled by the enterprise of others to sell property at enhanced values and invest the proceeds in realty for which exorbi tant rentals are demanded, have signed and sent a petition to Governor West requesting that the honor men at Ves( ville be recalled. Such a petition is a shame and disgrace, and a slap at the governor's cooperation with the vounty in building highways and solving the prison problem. t would be poor business to abolish the camp on ac count of the heavv preliminarv expense, and on account of the poor showing made order to secure full value of the money already expended, the men should be kept during the summer months. Governor West has- notified the eountv court that if it is desired the men will be recalled at once, as there are calls from other counties for ten times as many honor men as the state can furnish. As a demonstration of the soundness of the governor's policy ol treating prisoners the pioneer one of its kind, cess. Jiut three out of titty or more prisoners placed with out guards or watch, some 350 miles from the penitentiary in an isolated mountain camp, have broken their word of honor and attempted to escape. The rest have made good as model workers, quiet, orderly, peaceable and law abid ing. If the county court should abolish the camp, it could not be blamed.' It has been the target for vituperation and abuse all along the line. Every improvement made, though clamored for for many years, has been bitterly found fault with by those it benefited most. If ever a community proved itself ungrateful for benefits received, Jackson eountv has to the eountv court. STUDY THE nplIR press dispatches recent I v carried the announce- ment, under Kansas City date, that the "Appeal to Keason, the socialist paper, had suspended publication. There was not an iota of truth in the statement, but neither the United nor the Associated Press ever denied it. The libel was printed broadcast, presumably to injure the paper and its cause. There are many undesirable things about the Appeal, but along with the class hatred and prejudice it engen ders arc also presented some plain, unvarnished truths that secure no circulation elsewhere. The socialist has as much right to freedom of speech and to attack existing evils as any other partisan and the war upon the Appeal, which the federal courts have shamefully aided, is, to say the least, disgraceful and unfair. The human caldron is nt'vcr stirred deeply from the top, but always from the bottom. All the enduring re forms that have benefited the world originated from be low. The surface is only bubbles and froth brought up from the last stirring. Prom the masses beneath come all the really vital issues and movements of civilization. And yet we constantly see thn froth of the minute parad ing as the whole pot. Lloyd George, who has done more to humanize Great Britain than any man in a generation, to crack the froth now become fossilized into easte, says that he has never had a hand from above extended to aid him, but has been pushed forward by millions of hands from below. Mis is the late of every true statesman who benohts humanity. He must antagonize existing conditions and the ruling elass. The insurgent movement of today is nothing but the derided populism of 20 3'ears ago. La toilette's and .Roosevelt's radicalism of 1912 was the stock in trade of Bryan, Weaver and Jerry Simpson in the early '90s. All that is vital in the politics of today we owe to the populists of yesterday and in all probability till that will be vital in the politics of tomorrow can be found in the socialism of today. Ever from below come the ideas and issues shaping human destiny. So watch the man below, his hopes and his aspirations, for they are the ho)cs and aspirations of the future study the under dog in civilization's strug gle, even if you don't sympathize with him. Why I Want Woman Suffrage IJy IWKDKItIC C. IIOWK (Extract from a Hemarka bio Article In "Collier's') I want woman suffrago for what It will do for woman, for what it will do for men, for what It will do for tho muddle we havo made of pol itics. I also want woman suffrage for selfish reasons. I cannot myself bo happy In a world where there Is so much poverty, so much hunger, so much suffering that can so easily be cured. For poverty, hunger, suffering are unnecessary in this land of abund a n co of ours; as unnecessary as ty phoid, yellow fever or smallpox that science has almost exterminated. These diseases came from unsani tary legal environment. For pov erty is made by law or absence of law, God never Intonded that a few men should control all tho anthra cite coal in America, upon which one third of tho country depouds for its light, heat and power, God never inteiided that tho food, clothes and necessities of a whole people should bo' thrown on tho gumbler's tuble and be made tho croupier's ball of tho stock speculator and price man- irumhui, J. -U. to THE HONOR MEN. egg, who in et torts to secure till public enterprise, those, who through inclement weather. In as unman beings, the camp, has been an unqualified suc UNDER DOG. Monopoly is tho product of law. It can be cured by law. I cannoj believe that ono million people in Now York should live In one, two, and three room tenements or that nightly bread Hues Bhould gather on our streets when thou sands of acres of vacant land with in tho city's limits Invite men to build homes and work upon them. I do not believe that hunger, homo lessucHU, worklcssness and prostitu tion are necessary In this land of ours, or that any ono of our 00, 000,000 people should go hungry In a country that can easily feed ten times that number, I do not believe that ,10,000 men should be killed, and ut least C00, 000 more seriously Injured, in mint) or factory each year; that n fow nputliH uftor tho Triangle fire, death traps should still bo Inviting disas ter lllto. that which brought sorrow to the homes of 148 families lust spring, 1 do not believe It Is neceasury for bread to bo baked In damp apd dirty cellars. Nor do I hollevo It Is necessary for women bearing chil dren to work in tho fetid fuctory, closo up to tho hour or childbirth, and inko up their Ubor niptlM it few dnya utter. It Is not necessary that men, women, and children nhould bo poisoned by adulterated food or foil ou cold lorni;o meat mid fish at famine prices with an ocean and tho whole continual close by tho oily. Men nindo the hiw which iimko these condition possible; men made tho tariff hiws behind which tho sugar, steel, wool, rotton, lumber, rubber, and a score of other monop olies extort famine prices for every thing wo need; men made the laws which enabled the natural resources of tho country, tho rail rondo and the wntor fronts, to bo merited into tho hands of a few score men. Men made tho laws which permit tho ex press, street railway, ts and electric lighting eomimnles to extort such ehargcH nB the Kr''d 'f n political and busduena nllhmco suggests. Men do not think of these thing) as will women. Many men are too weary to think of liny other suffering than their own. Long hours In tho mine and by the furnace, In the mill and the sweatshop, leave llttlo room for thought of social sorrows. Other men daro not think of them. Some are paid not to do so. Othem still, who havo time to think, merely re peat tho thought)! of their grand fathers or their employers, of those who find It profitable that men should not think of these things. And they say, and many of us ac quiesce In what they say. Unit pov erty U due to the fact that tho other follow Is pot nx clever as wo are. Long hnblt has unido men think In terms of dollars. Long habit has made women think In terms of hus bands, children and unborn babes. Men vote the terms they think In. Women will vote the terms they think In. That Is what the women did In Colorado. They voted In terms of the home. 1 want a civilization In which one. half the people will vote In terms of humanity rather than In terms of property. I want to live In a world that Is free from the law-made privileges that beget tho poverty from which we ull Buffer; free from the lerror of hard time!, of lost Jobs, of pe riods of sickness and accident nl mont us fearful as death. I wnnt to live In a world where one hundred warships, costing fJOO, 000,000, will not be proudly paraded before a city loo poor to feed Us hungry school children: to live In a world where the opinions of long dead grandfathers Inscribed In con stitutions will be of less conse quence than the mangled arms and limbs and Inc- destitute women and children of our factory workers; where breaker boys will not be per mitted In coul mines, where It will bo criminal to place little children In canneries, chemical vats, glass mills, or phosphorus factories. 1 wnnt to live In a city where the dally wages of women and girls will support life; where the lost Job means something other than the street or starvation. I want to live In a country whore prostitution will not be the price wo pay for our bar gain counter economies; In u coun try where tho doors of the prison will open outwurd for those who have become tangled In the machin ery of the modern Industrial world. I want to live In a world that hates these things, hates them so thoroughly that It will ubollsh them I want to live in n world that thinks of Its people rather than of business, of consumers rather than producers, of users rather than ma kers, of tenants rather than owners; In n world whero life Is more Im portant than property, and human labor more valuable than privilege. As women nro consumers, users, and tenants, rather than producers, makers, and owners, I have hopes for n society In which women have and use the ballot. TWITCHING NERVES llangor Man Wiih Tortured Could Not Sleep. It would ho very hard for any ono to convince Mr. Samuel Ilriich of Hangor, I'a., thut ho hnd not been wonderfully benefited by Vlnol. He says: "Owing to weakness of too nerves, which were constantly pnlnlpg mo and twltdilnir so that I could not sleep at night, I was weak nud run down. Hearing that Vlnol was an excellent tonic and strength creator I commenced using It and Immedi ately began to feel .much better. My nerve trouble left mo and I can now sleep better than I havo for a long time. "I can truthfully Buy that Vlnol has done all for mo that is claimed for It." Tho reason' Vlnol did Mr. Uruch so much good Ifl because It gave him new strength and built up his health In general, Just as It does for all weak, nervous, rundown people Just us It will do for you If you nro that way, Vlnol Is Bold on our positive guar antee that it must help you : you got your money hack, Medford pharmacy, Medford, Ore. a 1 wnnt woman suffrnRo liornuiui 1 helluvo women will eon-out many of thcuo law-iundo wrongs that man linn mnilo. For women will voto In turmt of human life rather than In terms of special privilege, In an earlier ago woman could protect hemelf ami her brood by tho same weapons thut man employed She had tho same nolo club, In n later age of doinestle Industry she worked by I ho sldo of her husband In the homo or the field. Woman Is still the iiunidlau of the brood. Hut she Is usnalled today by ten thousand lurking foes thut strike at her man, her home, nt tho lives of these sho holds .most dear. Machines more deadly than hnlletfl tolrrouud he'r; disease moto snu- gulunry than aijy foreign Invader assalla her. Slukness may come with tho butcher and the grocer, with the fire trap and (he machine Woman still hears the burdens of an earlier age. She U still the child bearer, the home maker. Hut dte has been robbed of her weapons of defense. Danger Is no longer In the open. Assailants nro social, Indus trial, legal. TJiey are the product of luwt or the nbseneo of laws They can only be averted and eor- reeled at tho ballot box, In legisla tive halls, and by political, not per ioual, action, For modem elvllUatlon Is no longer Isolated. It Is social. The dangers that beset us tire Industrial. They spring from the Interdepen dence of life. They nro the product of the division of tabor, tho com plexity of noclety, uud the competi tive struggle which leaves man at tho mercy of most nvnrlcloun mem ber of the pack. Society must put an end to thene conditions If It would live; It must check the chaos, cruelties, ami hu man waste thai Induntrlnl life In volves. It can only do this by law, by statute law, by laws bHirlng the seal tif government. Men ma I believe they will- correct Unite wrongs. Tney will correct litem with the ballot. Hut their correction will bo hastened, It will come more surely, more wisely, by th coopera tion of thoxo who suffer most from the costs of the present system by the votes of women. XOTH'H.

Mr. OcQrRe Richards, ol this place, during the past 12 years, hns probably tried more different diets than the average person would ever use lit a lifetime.
