MISSIONARIES MEET AT : v THE BAPTIST CHURCH 'A delegation of arles on their way "Were entertained church last night. foreign mission to foreign fields at the Baptist A number of HP HE Orcgouinu long termed Oregon "tho fool ot tho family' because Of the state's adoption of direct leg islation. Along the same lines of patriotism, it is trying to make out the voters fools in the matter of voting upon initiative and referendum measures upon the ballot. HM.jiht.t i.ftiji OO HtnnnitliAit f-.i Kit ij4-jw) ljlt lifwilt it. printed in full three months before election in tho state pamphlet, nnd is cither self-explanatory, or is accom panied by arguments pro and con. In addition, the advo cates iud opponents of the measures indulge, in statc-wido campaigns in the press and on the stump. It doesn't take very much time or very much brains to go over the measures and arrive at a decision. Yet, according to the reactionary Oregonian, it is a super human task. It is the part of good citizenship to study the solution of governmental problems. Tho chief value of the Oregon system is that it educates the people in state issues. Of the 33 measures to.be voted upon, six Avere referred by the legislature, three are referendums upon bills passed by the legislature and 29 filed by initiative petition. Eleven of the measures concern road building, and eight concern taxation both subjects that everv citizen should lamiliarize himself with. Tho others concern a varietv of subjects of more or less interest. in the forty daj's of a legislative session, from I00 to oOO measures are introduced, considered and passed upon. The legislature doesn't average in intelligence much above the state's citizenship. If the men we send to Salem are capable of acting intelligently upon 500 or more bills after a few days consideration, the electorate ought to be able to pass intelligently upon 38 measures after months of consideration. In previous cars, excellent judgment has been shown by the people in passing upon initiative bills. There is no reason to suppose that equal judgment will not be exer cised in the future. Instead of advocating that the people vote no upon all bills without consideration of any, good citizenship re quires the press to urge due consideration of each measure submitted for only by raising the intelligence of the masses and inducing people to consider public measures, can true reform in government come. But good citizens-hip is.the last thing that concerns a reactionary paper and good government the least thing desired. realization of prevailing injustice permeated ileopor into even tho densest mind, The world moves, oven if at snail's pact, but even tho pace of the snail is too swift for Tnft, who looks upon established conditions as a divhiq order not to bedtsturhed. 1 ' ii i .I.,, i t,i .L.m',.,!. ,1, ,,, , i..t,..

BEN" SELLING, who still considers Crater Lake a local affair, is openly hostile to the equal rate bill submitted bv initiative to the people by the Medford Traffic Bureau. Mi. Selling states that" the bill reads fair, but that General Freight Agent Louiisberry of the Southern Pa cific, mit him wise to its infamy. Of course the railroads are opposed to this bill, which gives interior towns a fair show. So are the Portland jobbers, and the state railroad commissioners they control. fco are the Portland newspapers they mtlucnce. The bill would destroy Portland's monopoly as a dis tributing center for the entire state and end the railroads' graft of the small towns. It would permit the development of the rest, of the state, dwarfed and stunted b' Portland's present fatuous policy,' and the extortionate and discrim inating railroad rates. In every effort Medford has made for equitable rates, cither at Salem or at Washington, it has had to fight not only the Southern Pacific but the Portland Chamber of Commerce. It will have to continue the fight until a square deal is secured. , It is not surprising that Mr. Selling opposes the mea sure. Portland for half a century has been Oregon to him. That's why wc don't want him at Washington but a man big enough to comprehend the needs' of other localities than the metropolis. Before Mr. Selling condemned the bill, he ought to have consulted its sponsors, the Medford Traffic bureau, ns well as the railroad otncials. Halt the remedial and beneficial legislation of the country is condemned by the railroad, and if Mr. Selling accepts their opinions ih the senate what kind of a scifator wilL he make'? Do 'the people want a Southern Pacific senator? Yet Mr. Selling says Medford is a fine little city, up-to-date and metropolitan, with four fine clothing stores, and whether defeated or not he is still its friend. Jle didn't 2rove its friend in the Crater Lake bill. He is not its friend, but the railroads' friend, in its effort to secure a square deal in freight rates. That Medford is progressive and up-to-date, is not due to Mr. Selling, but in spite of him. That it continues its growth and prosperity will be due to its own energy and pluck in fighting for a square deal. Having a proved friend in the senate in Jonathan Bourne, Medford and southern Oregon want to keep him there. (lly Rudolf Spreokula) Whou making n choice from among tho rnndtdtttcn for president or United Stntoa to bn voted for on November fifth, our cltlxcua should first put afttdc all partisan fcoUiiKS that aro not related to fundamental differences In principle. Tho tariff" question has In recent years been about tho only pollry In which ,thb republican and democratic parties have seriously differed. Tho Rcpub llcau party ostensibly standing for a protective- tariff, while tho domo crnts coutend'for u tariff for rovenuo only. Wo have had sixteen years of un interrupted republican rule and tho tariff ovll, which during those years tho duties Imposed havo exceeded tho requirements of protection, bringing outrageous profits to tho few, and enabling shrewd manipulators tb orgnnlxo couiUIcm trusts with wat ered stock and ovor-capltallzatlon, until tho burden of tho Increased cost of living, placed upon tho average cttUen, Is unbearable and promises, unless checked at once, to bring a vast majority of our people to tho point of popular uprising. Under tho present requirements of tho government, a tariff for rovenuo would bo of necessity, bo sufficiently high to afford ample protection to all legitimately capttallzedlndtiatrlcs In this country, and et bring tho cost of actual necessities within tho roach of all, Tho present administration has failed to keep Its platform plcdegs In regard to tho tariff, and that the people resent tho breaking of these promises Is mado clear by tko large number of republican rep resentatives In Congress that havo been retired by tho voters during tho past two years. The republican convention Ignored popular disapproval of tho present administration when It nominated President Taft and Vice-President Sherman. CCow, tho defeat of tho re publican party at tho November elec tion seems certain and proper. Tho re-election of President Taft Is Im Im eossible: therefore tho republican voter must choose between Colonel Roosovelt, the nominee of a soli-appointed convention, nnd Woodrow Vll8on, tho dumbcrntlc nominee, who Bocur'cd hin nomination through tho offo'ta of progressive domdernifl at tho Baltimore convolitlon. If tho 'pwH'lo n Hi v'iH't I" their dotlro to eliminate hit political bossrsand correct the trust ovll, thoy will Htipport Governor Wilson at tho coming presidential election, (lov oronbr WUhou Ik openly and fear lessly opposing poltlcat bosses, oven tnoso bosses who havo ofVorcd to support hliu III tho coming election, while Colonol Rooxovott aimlonvu unly thouo bossen who oppose hlpi personally. Evory fire, American looks for ward to ownlhg and managing a lumi nous of his own, rather than bo a tnero snlnrled man of Home big trust, and yet under tho method of more governmental supervision of trusts by federal commissions, an proponed by colonel lloosovelt and his third tend party, nil Independent buslitoBH enterprises would noon becomo a thing of thu past, and wo would bo como a nation or clmkH, with no In centive for Imprdvlng methods of manufacturing nnd other Improve ment that competition always stim ulates. Governor WlUon and tho demo cratic platform, upon which he stands, proposo regulated competition, which will give every man with bruin ener gy an opportunity to demonstrate his real worth, and compol oven tho trusts to keep abreast of thu times In the conduct or their buslncsr: and tho American peoplu att a whole will get tho beneUl of chenpeucd cost of production, and our nation will be certain to hold a foremost position In tho commercial world for nil time. Governor Wilson, If elected, will be ablo to bring about needed re forms because ha will havo tho sup port of a congress, the majority of which Ih democratic, while by elect ing cither President Taft or Colonel Roosovelt, wo would have tour moro years of agitation, but no rcnl Im provomont. It scorns clear that un der present conditions, republicans should vote for Governor Wilson on November 5th; therefore, as n life-1 long republican, I unhesitatingly rec ommend that course. Conserve Humanity First SAME OLD BUNK. (Woodrow Wilnon nt Syrneue.) Why is it we ;Oii!erve our natural rourete if we could by n sort of mngie of iiidunlry truuMnule them into the wclath of the world And who tnii!uiiilHi them into that wealth if not the, hkill mid the touch of the KTOnt bodies of men who fjo daily to their toil nnd who couti tutu the great body of the American people? What I urn interested in in having the government of the United Sluten more rom-urucd bo ut human rightu than about property rights. Property is an instrument of hu manity; iiiiiiuiiiily isn't mi iuutnt ment of projH'rty. And yet when yon kcc men riding- their great indus tries tin if I hey were driving a car of Jus&criiAtit, not lookup to hco what multilmicri prontrutu them selves before Iho car mid Ioho ttieir lives in the eruihiii;.' effect of their industry, you wonder how Ion;,' men are going to hu permit (ed to jliink more of iheir machinery tfiaii tlfey think of their men'. Did you ncvcr'Hiiiik Hint men lire cheap mid machinery Ik duuY; and many n hiipuriu'tcudciit will bit dii mibed for ou'rdriviujr u ilvlieute ma chine who wouldn't be ilihinbtxed for over-driving an Overworked iiimii. You can discard your mini and replace him; thorn nre other ready; but you cannot without great cost discard your mucliiue 4Uid put j ji new one. You nre not looking upon, your men im Ilik$jif41f-i7ijftf$ - I j J. J4-1 4-g.J.iLig; foundation part of your whole Imim ncss. I nay, therefore, that property, 'H compared with humanity, as com pared with the vHul red blood in thu American people, must take bccuud place, not first, mid that we must see to it that there Is no ovcrcrowdiu;;, not had xiinitutiou, no iiuiict'CHsury ftprett of avoidable iscases, that wo men nre not driven to imKjHjh!e iuskh nnd children nre not permitted to spend their energy before it is fit to be spent; that till the hope of the race must bo preserved according to their individual need nnd not ac cording to nrogrumri of industry merely. "What is the use of having indus try if we die in pioduciii itf If we die in trying lo feed ourselves, why should a feed ourselves?" I would u great dual rather lose in n cniise that I know some day will triump ban triumph in n cuimn that I .know sumo day will lose, Liberty knows her children and hIiu can wait for them to recogn'ue their kinship.

J X J ' ), J t 1 I A T brother Charles' expense, the bill boards of the -t. country are being placarded with the same old line of stun tliat Mark iiaiina inaugurated. "Vote -for Taft and prosperity," as if Taft was the creator of big crops and good times. If ho is the creator of good times he must also be the creator of the high cost of living, of bad times and de pression. Taft has not kept up with the people, not only in com prehension of popular demands, but in campaign'methods. People have become too intelligent to be taken in by such guff as that upon his bill-boards. Taft is responsible for the Pavne-Aldrioh tariff which fosters and creates the trust which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, which no matter how great the pro duction of wealth helps along its inequitable distribution.
