SUBSCRIPTION fl.go PER VEA Sound In the poetofflee at Merfrord, Ofeg at eucond olau mall mattar. Portland took four straight games from tbe Ang-U last week, very much to the surprise of all concerned. Of the- fiftvifour applicant for admission to the bar 0110 wid woman and another was Chinese See'd Back of Por'lanrl na'ivo born, however, and thoroughly Americanized. The Jacksonville Pet is the la 4et comer to the journalistic field of Jnckson county. It is a neat, newsy sheet and it proprietors. Sanders it Overholt, have our best wishes for the success of the ven ture. Judging from the sounds eminat ing from the Hague conference there is only one world power willing to disarm, namely A. Car neige, laird of Skiboo and even he is not expending all of his ar ment in libraries and 'sich' It has long been a superstition -that when a man was in jail he was down and out, but Mayor Schmiti ot Ban Francincn i de monstrating tbat he can't be lost even in Jail. Din't seem like there is any way to get rid of him. Its a pity the Gre k railroad la borers are not better shots. A gang of them got into a row nn the Siskiyou mountain beyond Ash land the other day and exchanged -several shots without hurting any one. If there had been an white people around chances are they -would have been hit. The Grants Pass Observer wants to know to what lengths the las' Republican legislature ''might have went" if it had not hi en for a Democratic governor. Can't tell how long it would "have went," but although it h-s certainly ''went" it Hut forgotten1 by a whole lot. Other citiej are operating rock crushers and Mad r iller for thei betterment of ih ir nlrtets, while Medford's machinery btai.d-t idle being gradually eaten up will) rust.

St. Louis and Portland were drier than the desert of Sahara Sunday. Big padlocks hung on the doors of the thirst palaces and un feeling minions of the law were ready to swoop., down upon any philanthropic gentleman who at tempted to assuage the thirst of bis fellow man, with the sparkling gin fizz, the foaming beer, or any other variety of booze. Out of town re oris did a big business and car lii es were taxed to capacity. Chancellor Dav of the Svracuse University, has broken out again H- likens President Roosevelt to a ild engine" rampant and danger ous, and refers in endearing terms to Harriman, Rockefeller, Hill, et al. If some of the chancellor's good and great friends would con vey the information that a wild en gine pays mighty little attention to the croaking of bull-frogs in the mud holes alongside the track be might save a whole lot of breath. a Or. of the provisions of the act creating the state railroad commis sion is that the various lines opera ting in this state shall each month make a report of accidents. The summary of accidents as prepared by the railway commission for the month of May shows the accidents to trjins reported, in whioh there was loss of life or serious injury to persons or property, as follows: There were eight persons killed; two trainmen, two employees and four "other persons" or hoboes. There were three persons injured; two employees and one "other per son." One freight train was de railed. There is no belligerent Japan, barring yellow journalism and a certain element of the Japanese population, whose national pride over recently acquired prominence of the Japanese nation is apt to make them a little excitable and arrogant. There is no consider able, conservative clement in this country tbat believes war vith Japan, by reason of the troubles at San Francirco at all probable. As between th nations, coneideiing the Fentiments of those who count on either shore of the Pacific, war talk is confined to the hysterical utterances of a sensational press. The story that comes from Japan n yesterday's dispatches is reas suring evidence of the correctness of these statements. There is ab solute disavowal of any hostile sentiment or intention which can be considered official, or which carries any weight. The Japanese Government understands the situation in this country which bers upon the San Francisco dis turbances much better than the sensational news writers would have us believe. There ii thorough appreciation of the difficulty which the Federal Government encount ers in dealing directly with the Bay City outrages. There is no nciination to hold the Government or the American people as a whole re ponsible; and, above all, there nut the least intention to fight ov-r the matter. Futhermore it is clear to all who are familiar with Jttpu.icau affairs that the Little Brown Man is not in position to engage in an international row that will lead to war. Such at- ti tide is no part of the present Jht.anese policy. What tbat Na tion disires industrial and commer ial, and not military activity. Her task at the present time is a constructive one. Japan is attend ing to this task assidiously, and is not to be turned from it by the hysterical mouthings of a yellow press or ot an inoonsiderable and insignificant portion of the popula tion Telegram.

Dem In bis two speeebes at the James. town Exposition Mr. Koosevelt advo cated: A graduated Federal Income tax; A progressive Federal Inheritance tax on swollen fortune, with maximum of nearly 100 per oent fT the amount In excess of a padded sum." The abolition of the law of oontri batory negligence, employers to be made liable for all Injuries sustained by employes. ' Rigid federal control of Western grazing land In the poblle Inteisst Government ownership and control of all publlo land bearing coal, oil and gas, All cbese radical moamrea had been ptevlously aavooated by tbe Presi dent, either In speeches ar in mes sages to Congress. Tbey now seem to nave taken their place among tbe great economical polioies that Mr. Koosevelt Is so determined to have vindicated by the next , .Republican National oonventlon. But who Is tc vindicate them? Can Mr. Koosevelt persuade tbe oonven tlon to adopt his programme and leave hunt Will the delegates be more likely to take the polioles'witb ont Mr. Roosevelt than to take Mr. Koosevelt In spite of tbe policies? Representative James S, Sherman says: "Nsw York Is for Roosevelt, the country Is for nlm, and In my judgement he will he renominated and re-elected." Mr. Sherman 'a judgement Is the Judgement of tens of thousands of other men who know the temper end feeling ot Republican voters. Of none of tbe "favorite sons" can It bs said tbat he bus made tbe allgbteit appeal to popular en thusiasm and Imagination. Wbat la to be tbe outcome of it allt If an unboeaed, untrammelled Na tional convention, believing tbat Mr. KMsevelt's popularity and progres sive radicalism are the most valuable assets of tbe Renblloan party, persists in re-nomnatlng him, wbat can be do about it? Wbat should be do about it? In spite of personal wishes, could Theodore Koosevelt or any other man refuse to aco?pt an unsought for nomination for President made by aoclamatlonf Important Decision. Klamath Republican: The Commissioner of the General Land Otilce has reversed the decision of the Register and Recevler at Lake- view In tbe ease of Peter Petersteluer va William Wight. This waa a contest on at J tbe homestead entry of Mr, Wight on on tbe grounds that Mrs. Wight bad made proof on a homestead aad tbat by suoh aot the entry of ner husband bad been abandoned. Tbe evidence was taken before George Cbaatain, County Clerk, last Decern ber and a short time afterward the Register and Receiver at Labeview decided tbat Mr. and Mrs. Wight bad elected wblob claim tbey would bold aad tbat tbe other entry should be cancelled. Tbe attorney for Mr. Wight advanced the. theory that there waa nothing In tbe laws, rules or regulations to pievent a husband and wife from each making proof on a homestead and that If they made proof on one claim and then returned and made proof on the other that suoh acts were not a gronnds of con test after a residence of six months on the latter claim. The Commis sioner of tbe General Land Office ac cepted tbls theory ot the ease and baa dismissed tbe contest. mbe case is one tbat has created more than ordl ary oomment and baa oeen watched with considerable Interest Tola is tbe Brat dsolsion on this point tbat has been msde by the General Land Otilce.
