that Farmer Geer is not becoming
alarmed to any eieat extent.

Tub President's chief counselors
Have advised him that he will sat
isfy the people if he can prevail
vpon Congress to perfect the anti
' trust law and to establish the de
partment of Commerce and Indus
try, and ' it is the belief that this
be in a position to supply all neces
sary power to operate such a line,
while the cost of construction woul l
bi very slight as compared with
the cost of a regulation railroad.
Med ford people, we believe, would
be williog and anxious to subsidize
a proposition of thi? kind with one
condition that the lumber be
brought to Mdford in the log. You
say this would necessitate the haul
ing of a great amount of worthless
timber? That is not so. ' Every
particle of the wood itself could be,
and would be, manufactured right
here in Med ford into useful articles
of commerce, while the bark could
be used for fuel. This is no pipe
dream but a matter ot sound logic
and a condition which may be
the expenditure of money unneces
sarily for buildings and equipments
in two places. All the fruits and
vegetables which two canneries
could consume can be 'secured if
the said cannery is located in Med
ford. Messrs. Pierce & Coleman's
intentions were all right for a perma
nent Ashland cannery last spring,
but when they discovered them
selves to be in a plight similar to
he man, the dam and the mill,
they juBt naturally had to cast
about for a suitable mill site and
have found it in Med ford.

education if possible. The way to

means of the girls who are to be

a college woman are capable cf re

' The crop of governor, candidates

Probably never in the history
of this Nation has there been a
document presented to the people
which possessed more sound, logical
reasoning than is found in Presi
dent Roosevelt's message to Con
gress. . There is all in it which
commends the man and his loyalty
of purpose, together with his de
termination fo do right, to every
citizen of this great Nation. Even
1 the Democrat press (pave a few
jumping-jack nonentities which
feel they must give censure in the
belief that their scattering local
constituents demand it) finds no
part of the message which it can
pick apart, or flaws which it can de
tect; no evil design, not a particle of
anything that is not the utterance
of an honorable man serving in his
own best way a people which has
in him implicit confidence that he
will do rilit nnd do it fearlessly.

the message save;

The Salem' Independent
he man who seems tri be Gov-
A few weeks since the Ashland
Tidings found time to say that Mr.
Chas. Pierce would probably estab
lish a branch caunery in Med ford
for the cannibg of vegetables, or
words to that effect. As Mr. Pierce
bas repeatedly said in newspaper
print that his company would make
the canning of vegetables its chief
pursuit it need hardly be here said
that the branch will be at Ashland
if there be a branch a propo.-i
tion which is still conjectural and
decidedly illogical. The necessity
for a branch cannery at Athlaud is
in no sense practical, while,' after
the experience of Messrs. Pierce &
Coleman at that nlace last season,
the permanent establishment of tub
cannery mere wouiu ue dueiiicsh
suicide.: ' Two canneries, or one can
nery and a branch, as the Tidings
would have it, -would necessitate:
rise from its pcrusnl with the con
viction Unit it comes from tlio
sound heart of a man who is sin
cerely desirous of knowing what is
right and best, and then carrying
out his decisions with entiro fear
lessness. It is the-product of hon
esty and common senso. Nobody
need be in doubt as to what the
presidont means. Nobody need
fear that he will lack the courage
to pursue the straight path he sees
before him. About many things
he is in doubt. He doesn't know
what to say about reciprocity, or
what method should be adopted in
construction of the Pacific cable, or
just what wo can do with the trusts,
or how to rebuild our merchant
marine, or how to strengthen the
currency; and when he is in doubt
he doesn't pretend to know. It is
no discredit to a man that he
doesn't know everything. Itjs to
his credit if he has sonse enough to
realize and recognize it. Yet the
president is precise enough when
lie is certain in his own mind, for
his recommendations as to anarchy,
immigration, forestry, army and
navy, consular service, national
guard, etc , matters with which he
is familiar, are plain and positive.
He is the leader of his
party, but there is no hint in all
this long meanage of any purpose
or desire except to find out what is
right and best, and then to do it.
This frankness has little in common
with the shifty wiles of the politi
cian. But it is the highest politics,
nevertheless. He does his purty
the greatest possible service when
he does the best for his country."
