It had been supposed all along
that J. R. Neil would be the Dem
ocratic candidate for county judge
but the old gentleman sprang a
great surprise on the town folks
last Saturday when the country del
egates came marshaling in to the
convention pledged to support
delegation to the state conveution
that would favor Mr. Neil's nomina
tion for distriot attorney. From s
pecuniary point of view one can
hardly censure Mr. Neil, as the die
trict attorney's office is worth $3000
year while that of judge only
pays $1200 but what's the differ-
Ience whioh nomination he gets
the voters will see to it that he is
elected to neither.
Southern Oregon has never un
til recently made any effort to ad
vertise its resources, either mineral
or agricultural. While our people
have known Rogue river valley to be
one of the most productive and
healthful on the coast, that almost
every variety of soil adapted to the
cultivation of all the various semi
tropical products existed here, that
it is specially suited to the cultiva
tion of fruit, and favored with a
mild and genial climate, where the
drouths or Ualifornia ana tne ex
treme rainfall of the Willamette
meet and amicably compromise on
a basis of enough rain and not too
much and no drouths, while these
facta have been known, nothing of
any consequence has been done to
publish them to the world. The

special providences have lent their
aid in the happy ohange. Then
what has brought it about? Simply
a just, wise, benign, consistent and
helpful polioy of government, ad
ministered in a spirit of fairness and
candor, and with a view solely to
best conserve public interests. There
is no disputing the fact that the
course pursued by the Republican
party has brought a return of con
fidence to the country, and, instead
of the wail of distress that came
from every tongue, and ran like a
dread contageon throughout the
land, there is heard but the cheer
ing sounds of labor, and the laugh
of prosperity and contentment. To
perpetuate this happy condition of
affairs, it is essential to retain the
party in power whioh brought it
about. This can only be done by
voting the Republican ticket.

on the coast, have had but the mer
est incidental notice until recently
when a somewhat detailed state
ment of their extent and value is
appearing from week to week in the
local press. If the mineral possi

given a tithe of the attention which
has been bestoved on the Baker
H. D. Jones, of Rock Point, who
was chosen chairman of the Repub'
Jican convention last Saturday,
proved himself a very proficient of
ficer. He thoroughly understands
parliamentary rulings and was the
essence of fairness. Mr. Jones is a
retired newspaper man and he is
a long ways from being a discredit
to the profession. He is now a
miner which business is closelv
allied with that of printing a news
paper, in one respect at least in
that the only hope held out is the
probably glitter of something the
morrow may uncover.
"Cyclone" Davis, the chronic
Democratic political roust about,
has turned up again. At each re
curring election this peripatetio
oracle of the defunct doctrines laid
to rest by the progress of events,
puts in an appearance to revive and
rehabilitate the sleeping issues that
have been settled and supplanted
by the new and living considera
tions of the day. Mr. Davis is not
.mindful of the good things of a po
Jitical campaign, and never fails to
get in on the ground floor, and re
spond with suitable oratory to the
loastmaster. But if the Democracy

mining enterprises? This is a com
mercial age in which business ag
gregates business. To get in to
the swim it is necessary to steer for
the current, and the current is al
ways in the direction of advertising.
There is a moral in this for business
men.
No one has forgotten the late
depression that blocked the wheels
of industry all over the country. It
was a common thing when persons
met on the streets, public highways,
fields or workshops to hear the dole
ful wail of hard times, no work and
no money. So wide spread and dis
astrous was this condition of in
dustrial affairs that the business
energies of the country were almost
completely paralyzed. The outlook
offered no hope of reward for labor,
and enterprises were deferred for a
more auspicious period. It is not
so now. The wheels of industry
hum in every direction. Faotories,
workshops, mines, trade, commerce
and all the productive energies of
the country are aotivo and yigorous
as never before. Prosperity, hopo
and confidence are everywhere ap
parent. Why? No supernatural
agenoies bavo supervened to subvert
the natural order of things, do mir-
In one sense the election of the
delega'es to the congressional con
vention last Saturday was a victory
for Mr. Carter, on the other hand it
was a very amicable compromise
in the interest of Mr. Tongue. The
delegates are practically pledged to
give Mr. Carter a complimentary
vote. After this has been done
they are at liberty to go with their
vote wherever they please. At least
five of these delegates are known to
be friendly to Mr. Tongue, in fact
they have declared themselves to
be Tongue men. If this be true,
and we have not the shadow of a
reason to doubt their word, a vote
for Mr. Carter will strengthen Mr.
Tongue's candidacy, as the second
vote will show a falling off in Carter
votes and a corresponding increase
in Tongue votes, and this will have
a tendency to draw support from
other delegates. We are speaking
of but five of the Jackson County
delegates, but the fact must not be
lost sight of that the whole ten
were pledged to Mr. Tongue by
Saturday's convention after a com
plimentary vote had been given Mr.
Carter. The delegates were chosen
upon these grounds and Mr. Carter's
supporters in Saturday's conven
tion did not ask for more than that.
This fact was made very clear in
the speech which . brought Mr.
Carter's name before the conven
tion. All that was asked was an
endorsement by his home delega
tion "We have no hope of nominat
ing Mr. Carter." The Mail does
not believe, the report which has
been circulated to the effect that
Jackson County politicians had
these ten delegates in their vest
pockets and would deliver them to
whomsoever they might choose.
That there are vest pocket politi
cians in Jackson County we do not
gainsay but that the delegates are
of that stripe we most emphatically
deny.
No man is perfect. All are more
or less subject to mistakes. The
wisest err in judgment. The best
intentions often fail of their object.
Nothing is certain with man but
uncertainty. Parties are but aggre
gations of men and re (loot their com
mon judgment and common errors.
No party can lay claim to all the
wisdom and integrity of purpose of
(he commonwealth which it repre
sents. All parties may oluim cer
tain virtues and tendencies designed
to. make for tho publio good, yot
these are often overshadowed and
held in nbeyauce by errors fraught
with peril to common Interests. No
party oan stand still and moot re
quirements. Growth, ohange, prog
ress, combinations, development
originate new oonditloiiB and mako
neoossary now phases of govern
ment. These ohangvB often require
the bust and broadest statesman
ship to formulato them into a polioy
whioh will bust inure to tho ceunnon
weal. Too rouoh etresB oitunot bo
laid upon experience in matters of
government. Results are tho only
eafo basis upon whioh to form an
opinion of parties. If a party has
been successful and given satisfac
tion through the ndoptiou of a cur
lain course, it is an evldunoo of tho
Balutary influonco of that course.
If thon tho unprecedented prosper
ity of tho country is due to the pol
ioy of the Republican party, as it
iuubI be admitted it is, its polioy
must be regarded as holpful'atid in
accord with general interests. If
these conclusions are conceded, and
it seems they must be, would it not
be unwise, unbusiness like and ut
terly without excuse to abandon a
tried and safe party with a fixed
and benefioient policy and assume
the unnecessary hazard of tho sup
port of a new party whose polioy is
yet to bo formulated? If the pres
ent unusually prosperous condition
is preferable to the withering stress
of hard limes that carried bank
ruptcy and ruin to numborloss happy
homes and left its blighting impress
on almost every industry, then tho
party which brought about this
happy change should be maintained
in power.
