COMMUNICATION. To tho Kdlter: Whllo wo would not for ouo mo niont withold Iho ballot from women on tho grounds of Ignorance, yet It must ho remembered that with equal suffrage to all you must include the wives of all theso heathen Chinese,! uneducated foreigners and Ignorant negroes. Then what do wo gain by such a mixture? Simply nothing, nnd If It Is a "fundamental wrong" to re strict any from voting, then there Is no escape, Tho editor In criticising me says that the reason that Jane Addams' home ward went so overwhelmingly against woman suffrage was because "Kinky Dink- and Bathhouse John were opposed to any movement like equal suffrage that would overthrow their vicious rule." And wo ask, what had they to fear? With all the examples before them wherein the effort has been made to overthrow thorn under equal suffrage, and what lias been accomplished? Look at ' Bolso, where tho women have been voting for fourteen years: look at Denver, whero they have been voting for nineteen years; look, at Salt Lake, where they have been voting for four teen years; look at Cheyenne, where tho wo'men have been voting for forty-three years, with forty saloons and forty-two brothels in a city not twice the size of Medford, and the statu with more brothols and saloons in proportion to her population than any state In tho Union. All of which bears out Just what Judge Llndsey said In his book entitled, "The Beast." This book was written fif teen years after tho women began voting in Colorado, and describes the most diabolical political corruption ever brought to light In any American city. On page 30S ho says: "But it nny one bolleves that woman suffrage is a panacea for all political Ills ho does not know what those ills are." Then ho gives his reason thus: "Tho women are as free from the power of tho beast and no freer. Their clubs in Denver have not dared to offend it any (more than have the churches. In n typical American com munity like ours, where tho beast rules, women are as helpless as the rest of us. Women in politics are human beings. They are not minis tering angels, of nn ethereal ideality. And they arc not able to free us-be-cause they are not free themselves." This is Judgo Llndsey not tho writer. But ho has stated a number or facts. And if it bo true, as the evldenco bIiowb that It Is, that the women nro no fretr from tho power of tho beast than are men; that they dare not offend it; that they nro as helpless as tho rest or us; that thoy nre not ministering nngels; that they aro Just human beings; that thoy are not able to free us becauHo they are no't free themselves, then wo ask If you expect a river to rise higher than its source.1 You cannot strengthen a .mixture without putting Into it some thing stronger than tho mixture. It Is gladly conceded that our best women would voto to purify politics, and so would our best men, but tho records show thut tho woman. do not hang together for good any better than do tho men. . .There is no comparispn between women without tho ballot and human slnvory, as ho Infers. Slavery 1b "in voluntary servitude," and Is a condi tion from which all wish to bo freo, but today thero aro not 20 por cent of j tho women asking for tho ballot. Their slavery, If .any exists, is , to economic conditions;, and from which wo would gludly freo them, hut to glvo them tho ballot will not do It, olso why uro tho laboring men who huva always had. tho ballot holding boycotts, strikes and lockouts? But with SO por cent of tho women objecting to having tho ' duties or covernmont forcibly imposed upon tif wo Btand for this 80 per cent in, until such tlmo at least na tho major UK of women shall huvo expressed a deBoro for 'the ballot. r 3 : to ia."wiiiSLER. , AN AUSPICIOUS START COLONEL Roosevelt if to be congratulated upon the e.liaraof ev ami personnel of the leaders he has ehosen Tor his campaign in Oregon. "First and foremost on the list eoiues Congressman A. W. or A. Waller, or Amidon or Arthur or Abraham W., (as he has at various periods written it.) LnfTert y. pur suer of school girls, the romantic Romeo of Oregon politics, chenp charletan, and potty demagogue. This insult er alik? of matrons and maidens, finds himself on too high a moral plane to tolerate tho unmoral Chicago convention. His ethics evidently deem it permissable to steal the honor of it little girl but the theft of a convention is a most heinous crime tnerolore He naturally gravitates to ute one man who can save the nation, hoping to be pulled into a second term by hanging on to the coat tails of Teddy's erstwhile popularity. Another shining mark selected to manage the Bull Moose campaign in Oregon is L. A. McMillan, attorney of Salem, who has won almost as enduring tame as a busy- bodv with his nose in affairs immortal chief, though on a endeared himself to southern Oregon by preventing the building of the Crater Lake highway, and endeavoring to stop, m various other ways, of the state. Since then he paper in which lie has abused selt as a selt-appoiuted guardian of the public weltare and as purer than Ivorv soap the contributions ceasing onlv with a $25,0000 libel suit. A most auspicious start has been made for the ban dana party which bids fair to gather in its ranks all the undesirables and rejected of party and men and we hasten to congratulate the colonel upon the fine beginning. With such lenders as a necleus, the new party should have a lapid growth especially as it is financed by the steel, har vester and other "good" trusts. Work for (,By Contractor and Builder Harry K. Gates.) Oregon Is certainly fortunate In its outlook for a prosperous season. We will have a bumper fruit crop. Our mines nre doing fairly well and and would do much better It we succeeded In getting the proposed railroad to the "Blue Ledge," Grants Pass Is working quietly day and night on tho Blue Ledge railroad pro ject and we ought not let them steal such good opportunities from us. Our facilities for irrigation have taken a marked advance, our far mers and stockmen are hopeful nnd confident, wo liavo had an abundant amount of small fruit and truck gar dening this year and the outlook Is good. I believe this Is the greatest soil In the world and will grow any thing. I put In my back yard nbout 75 cents worth of seed in a small garden this spring and received about $75.00 worth of garden produce with very little labor attached In keeping It up, and It was my first experience with a garden. Of course we have a national campaign on now and this will divert the attention of tho people Journeys to Home of (Written for the Mall Tribune by Col. E. Hofer, Manager Made In Oregon Campaign.) An establishment that has 125 peo ple on the payroll, pays out $50,000 a year in wages and can turn out a fully equipped sawmill to cut 50,000 to CO, 000 feet of lumber a day, and turn off such a sawmill ready to op- erate every sixty days, is entitled to be called a manufacturer of factories.

This industry was founded at Al blna in 1882, nnd the year follow ing was removed to Its present loca tion, nt Fourteenth and Northrup streets. First It occupied a frame building, which burned in 1895, and was rebuilt In brick. The main shops aro 80x100, two-story. Tho foundry is 50x100 feet, with sheds and ware-J houso attached. This plant Is of great interest be cause lumboring is tho greatest In- dtibtry of Oregon, and tho informa-, tlon that all kinds of sawmills and sawmill machinery and machinery re pairs can bo supplied more quickly from this plant than from any other source Is surely an Important matter. The advantage of getting a plant mado near to tho supply of raw ma terial is too apparent to require ar gument. Any ono wishing to establish, en largo or rebuild u sawmill will find at tho Portland Iron works a compe tent consulting engineer, u practical and experienced nian to plan the ar rangements and glvo scientific Infor mation about tho kind of machinery suitable for the lumbor to bo cut. Besides skilled draughtsmen this fac tory keeps a competent engineer to plan all' general inaeh'lnory, castings nnd mnphlno work. Tho Portlnnd Iron works Is tho largest and best equipped plant of tho kind on the Pacific coast. Tho foundry can turn out a ten-ton cast ing. Tho shops aro rigged with a boring mill that will turn an eighteen root pully with u six-foot bolt face, Thero nro 100, lathes and pinners of various kinds and special machines for drtsslng tho tooth of mortise nnd cut gears, for grinding - and .corru gating fIourlng,'mllLrolls.vl that don't concern him as his microscopic scale. .MoMahan the progress and development has hired a column in a Salem everyone and extolled him- Prosperity more or less. Elections arc some thing that must be atemled to. No good citizen will neglect to register nnd voto. Thero will bo moro or less of red fire nnd the blare of brass bauds and much hot air on the part of campaign orators of both parties, to say nothing of tho Roosevelt con tingent. But the sensible thing to do Is to allow these affairs to interfere with business as little as possible. Here In Medford especially we need to get busy. More of our lands should bo put Into active cultivation. Special efforts should be made to show up the wonderful advantages of our lands with a view to bring here a largo number of people to set tle In and cultivate them. Our com mercial club Is doing much to pro mote good feeling and concert of ac tion all over this section of the country. Prosperity should be our watch word. Thero Is nothing Hko pros perous environment In making a happy and contented people In a rlrti country where tho climate Is the best In tho world. Oregon Industries The introduction of cheap electric power has changed many features of this Industry, as tho use of Individual motors Is extending and doing away with about 50 per cent of tho over head load of shafting and pulleys for merly used In transmitting nnd ap plying power. With all tho demands of the times tho Portland Iron works keeps pace, for tho high-class men employed In every department make It a great conscious-thinking inn- chine. This Is necessary because a modern iron and steel plant has to do thinking for a great many differ ent industries nnd thoir success de pends on good brain work right here at tho start of tho equipment. What can be turned out here? What cannot be. would be moro ap propriate to ask? Let us enumerate: Sawmills and sawmill (machinery, special sawmill machines, band and circular saws, gang saws and edgers, gang edgerB, twin edgers and steam feeds, lumber trimmers and lathe mills, largo timber planers and nll- steel carriages, II. T. Clarke, president and general manager of tho Portland Iron works, started at tho bottom, worked six years at tho latho and then took gen eral management. Ho Is a man wfo knows the value of muterlals and how to put them together. Ho Is a jiroml uont man In tho metal trades organ ization. Few men In tho northwest understand tho economical generation of power, tho construction of steam on i; I n os and tho transmission of power better than ho does or can bet ter give to others tho houeflts of his knowledge.

Tin' BART LEn PEAR Tho California Krult Distributors issue under date of Sacramento, July ia, the following market letter: Tho following gives number of cars of deciduous fruit shipped from all points In California for tho week (7 dnys) ending Friday evening, July 12, 1912. Cherries: 11 Vi cars. There have ben rather more cherries for warded during tho past week than was expected. They dropped down yesterday to ono car. Placer County points report their crop entirely shipped. Thero are a few more to go forward from tho Santa Clara val ley. Apricets: 51 cars. Thero aro no straight cars of this fruit going forward at tho present time. A few crates In occasional curs innko up tho aggregate given. Movement Is prac tically concluded. Plums: 2 Hi cars. This week's shipment shows a gain of nenrly for ty cars over that of the preceding week nnd probably represents ns heavy n shipment as will be forward ed during tho seaaon.

To that may bo added this week (Jorman, Diamond, Wlckson and Sugar. All theso var ieties aro now showing fine quality. Peaches: 75 cars. Thero wjib not as much gnln In tho shipment of peach this woek ai expected. This Is entlroly attributable to tho low prices which have prevailed In tho east and the fact that largo quanti ties were diverted to local markets. Triumph aro now practically finished shipments consisting almost entlroly of Hales nnd St. Johns, with the first offerings, of Crawforda. Tho latter will bo In fair supply early next week, with vory heavy ofrerlng tho following week. reara: 94 carfl. Tills repre sents a heavy gain over tho 9 can reported last week. Movement now consists almost entlroly of Bartletts with at least 95 por cont of them coming from the river whero tho crop is largo and fine nnd tho fruit smooth nnd of flno quality. Pear shipments will Incroaso for about ten days, at which tlmo thoy nro ex pected to reach their highest point and aftor that will gradually decline.

Tho sugar is added when tho juice is used, Whoa niudo in this vuiy tho juioo is not so good, and there is more tlimgci' nt Iho juice spoiling before it i- used. Sugar is a good profiorvativc. It should ho repealed (hat Iho juioo should never ho boiled for any length of time, as that injures it, giving it a burnt flavor.
