A HAPPY OLD PARTY.
Commenting upon Mr. Bryan'a
manlfeato In tbe Commoner, the
Nashville Banner la moved to aay
"It tbe pollclea were aound, the can
didate iiu deficient, aaya an ex
change. The pollclea were nearly all
of the candldate'a making, and by
them and other extreme doctrines,
he did not put Into the platform he
was mostly Judged."
After a 'citation of the fact that
Mr. Bryan ran 130.00U votes behind
the Democratic mate ticket in New
York, 95,000 In Ohio, 30.000 In In
diana, 140.000 In Michigan, 130.000
In IlllnnlH, ) 00,000 111 Minnesota, and
behind the Democratic ticket In his
own stuto. tie llanjor continues:
"The Democratic party will have
to abandon all the distinctly Bryan
doctrines as completely as It has
abandoned free silver, and return to
Its old-time safe basis aa a conserv
ative party and defender of a strict
construction of the constitution be
fore It can again hope to elect a
president."
But does the Democratic party
want to gain a national victory?
Can the Banner, or anybody else, cite
In history or In tradition a more
happy layout than the Democratic
party, reveling and sporting In the
fools' paradise It has made for Itself,
and over which It baa enthroned the
Peerless One as lord and master?
That Mr. Bryan la aa much a can
didate for president today aa be was
In 1896, 1900 and 1908 before be
achieved the nomination la absolute
ly certain, and It la equally assured
that If the party shall be In the same
temper In midsummer of 1912 that
It Is In the late autumn of 190S, he
will be the head of the ticket for the
fourth time.
What Democratic leader will ap
pear In the next Democratic national
convention and protest against the
Incorporation of Mr. Bryan'a dogmas
In tbe platform? Name blm. Let us
have a sight of a atatesman so auda
cloua aa thus to take bis political
life in his band and attempt to bell
the cat.
To employ Colonel Watterson's
metaphor, what would a nomination
be worth "gained over the dead
body of Mr. Bryan?" It might be
the price of a victory, for the next
Democratic president If there shall
be one will be made president by
the votea of hundreds of thousands
of men who supported Roosevelt In
1904 and Taft In 1908. And the
one way for a Democrat to aecure
those votes la to expose to their gaze
the political corpse of William J.
Bryan.
And that la what the Banner
means In the excerpt we have used.
SAVE THK GAME OK OKE4JON.
Undoubtedly the invaluable Chi
nese (Denny) pheasant will be ex
terminated In Oregon unlesa ade
quate protection shall be afforded by
law, aaya a" nexchange. There la now
an open season of 60 days, and ft la
nothing leaa than a sickening car
nival of slaughter. The country
sportsman has of course filled his
game bag with all he could shoot
and eat prior to October 1, for your
farmer observes the unwritten law
when It comes to game on his own
premises and takes what be can get,
whenever he wanta It. But with the
elty sportsman It la different. He
owna no farms and haa therefore no
lien on Ita game, and he encounters
trespass signs wherever be goea, and
perhaps a nilghty vigilant deputy
game warden, who la looking for
game also, In tbe form of the man
from town. 80 the city aportsman
stays at home till the law aaya he
may hunt Chinese pheasants, and
then he goea out and leaves a trail
of devastation all over tbe Willam
ette valley, tearing down fences,
tramping down grain and otherwise
making himself a nuisance and a ter
ror. No wonder the farmer "haa It
,n" for the city Invader.
Yet game ought to be protected.
Aa the Oregon Fish and Game asso
ciation auggeata. no Chinese pheas
ants should be shot by anybody for
two years; tbe wholesale slaughter
of ducka should be stopped: elk
ahould not be killed at all; and trout
fishing should have due limitation.
Thjose are the principal features of
needed legislation; but there should
he also a complete and harmonious
game code. Will tho legislature do
anything about It?
SMALL ORCHARDS 11B8T.
John Greb, who a few months ago
purchased a 30-arre tract of land
f Dr. K. C. Page near Eagle Point,
haa already erected a new house and
barn on the place and will Improve
the property by cultivation and tree
slanting.
Now, that's the kind of land occu
pancy which la good for the country.
When all of tbe Rogue River valley.
Or the greater part of It, la subdi
vided Into iO and 30-acre tracts,
than can the valley be likened nnto
beehive of busy orchard workers,

facilities in banking.

say a wurd Intended to dlscouruge

we are of the opinion that when all

owner of the largest of them will
have realized that he has a compe

that then he will relieve himself of

WHAT AHOl'T MEDFORD?
After Dr. Robertson waa ahot by
a hold-up man at Salem recently, the
officers, without any clew, ran down
and captured his assailant within
two hours. Last Thursday an x
convict prepared a quantity of nitro
glycerin with which to blow up the
penitentiary and the officers caught
him before he had a chance to use
the explosive. While no one wishes
Salem trouble, it might be better for
the public peace, health and safety
If bank robbera would try tbelr game
up In Salem once. Oregonian.
IRRIGATION COMKS HIGH.
A Lost river correspondent of the
Klamath Express moralizes thus
over the reclamation Irrigation prob
lem; "It was rather hard to keep
Thanksgiving after hearing we must
pay 130.75 per acre for water. That
Is twice aa much aa we were told we
would have to pay when we signed
up. A few who had their land paid
for and Improved will be able to
make It, but the rest will loae their
homes If obliged to pay so much. It
may coat that much to build the
ditch, but that la no reason why the
farmera ahould have to pay double
the amount they were told It would
cost them. If they had been told In
the first place that they would have
to pay the amount now demanded
they would not have signed up. If
a carpenter promises to build a house
for 1900, not to exceed $1000, tbe
man for whom he la building It will
have to pay only $1000, no matter
what It costs. If the carpenter un
derstands the mistake la hla, the loss
Is his also. If the price of lumber,
nails, etc., advanced, no difference;
he atanda the loss like a man. Sure
ly Uncle Sam will not allow bla pri
vate citizens to outdo him in keep
ing a promise and giving a aquare
deal."

Deliver Hit- Good, of Course.
SAX RAFAEL, Cal., Dec. 15.
The latest demonstration that adver
tising pays I sufforded by Rev. J. W.
Simmons of the Methodist Episcopal
church of this city, who declared that
since his incumbency, a period of two
months, there have been more con'
versions than were made in the
church during any one year.
"I believe In advertising the pul-
pit," said Mr. Simmons. "I have
concluded that the church also
must be advertised. But advertising
only brings people to the church
then you must deliver the goods. No
matter bow much good music, or how
much social life you have, you will
not make a convert unlesa you reach
him by meana of the pulpit."
Mr. SImmona has purchased space

taken up billboards throughout the

A fountain pen, a lacquered tray,
A dressing gown, salt to sift?
Be finicky, as e'er you may.
You soon may pick a Christman
gift.
Then buy a rainproof cravenette
The money won't be thrown away.
The season's likely to be wet
And spring at least will come some
day.

Still cling to these, whate'er they

And alwaya there'a a grand display.

HOY TUMBLES FROM CHIMNEY,
Eiglit-Yctir-Old lnl Playing "Follow
Your lender" Lomk Life.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14. In t he
moment of his triumph at having
accomplished a feat of daring that
amazed his schoolboy and girl com
panions, who watched him from the
street below, Andrew Scheler, eight
years old, waved bis hand to them
from the top of the tall chimney of
the abandoned Graham brewery In
Paterson, N. J. A moment later bla
body came hurtling down, and bia
life waa Instantly crushed out when
he struck the pavement a few feet
from where tbe children stood.
On their way home from school
the boys and girls, from 8 to 12
years old, commenced to play the old
game of "follow the leader," which
haa been renamed "stunt master."
As the "stunts" became more haz
ardous the girls dropped out, and
presently only three boys, of whom
Andrew Scheler was the youngest,
remained In the game. The others
were Paul Jones and William Cuff
of 49 Style avenue.
Aa they reached the abandoned
brewery the little Scheler boy, who
was "master," climbed to the fire
escape on the second floor, and from
there to the roof of the brewery, four
stories up. The two older boys fol
lowed. Then the Scheler boy laid
his bundle of schoolbooka down and
started for the tall chimney, a top
pling ruin, that would try tbe nerve
of a steeplejack.
By the hardest work, as he could
barely reach from one rung to the
other, he climbed up to the top,
while the children In the street held
their breath. Then he sat down on
the rim to enjoy his triumph. He
swung his legs, waved hla hand, and
then the rotten bricks crumbled be
neath his weight and he fell.

Acting under directlona of Chief
of Police Armstrong. Mra. Phlppa
drove to the spot designated last
Sunday night. She was accompan
ied by a woman friend and a detec
tive was concealed In the bottom of
the car. Every available detective
was picketed at polnta In the neigh
borhood.
When within half a mile of the
college the Phipps automobile met a
smaller machine containing two men
driving furiously toward the city.
The detectives had taken a different
route and failed to encounter them.
It Is bellefved they were the conspir
ators, who had become frightened
and fled.

RETRIBUTION CAME QUICK.
Woman Run Hot Poker Through the
Cheek of Another.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 15.
A woman branded through the
cheek with a red-hot poker and the
death of her assailant by being
burned In her bed were the cause
of quite a sensation here today.
Last night Miss Lizzie Bryce, arm
ed with a red-hot poker, attacked an
other woman In the Knox county
workhouse, of which both women
were inmates. A quarrel between
the two women had been of long
Btanding, and came to a head yester
day, when the women came to blows
over a disputed piece of work.
Miss Bryce knocked ber victim
down, and seizing the poker, thrust
it through her cheek. The wound
was dressed by the house doctor, and
no action was taken by the authori
ties in regard to the assault.
Early this morning Miss Bryce was
awakened by the flamea of her bed
clothes. Before she could be rescued
she had received such burns that she
died from them within a few hours.
The woman whom she had branded
with the poker was not to be found,
and It Is believed that Miss Bryce's
bed waa set on fire by her victim of
the early evening.

JAPANESE TO
BE KEPT HOME
CHICAGO, Dec. 15. A special to
the Record-Heruld from Washington
says:
All Japanese emigration to the
United Statea Is to be stopped by the
I Japanese government. When the
Japanese diet meets a lew weens
hence. Baron Komara, minister of
foreign affairs, will make official
announcement that the government
baa decided to prohibit all emigra
tion to the United Statea after a
given date.
Thus will disappear the last re
maining difference or possible cause
of trouble between the United States
and Japan. Though the announce
ment In Toklo may be made upon the
assumption that the Japanese gov
ernment has voluntarily agreed upou
this tourse, as a matter of fact, th?
decision was reached through a Ion,,
series of negotiations between Secre
tory Root and Baron Takahlra. the
Japanese ambassador to the United
States.
Prohibit All Immigration.
The order of the Japanese govern
ment will prohibit all emigration,
but will, of course, leave travel free,
so that merchants, students and
tourists from Japan may visit Amer
ica at will under the passport agree
ment with the United States govern
ment. When the "understanding" be
tween the United States and Japan as
to the Pacific ocean and Chinese em
pire was made up a week or so go
and the notea which had been ex
changed were given textually to the
world, comment was widely made
that if our government had settled
these questions and left the Immigra
tion issue unsettled, no very great
progress toward a permanent peace
would have been actually made.
It Is a fact that the highest offi
cials of the two governments have
viewed the future with apprehension
If the Immigration question were lof.
undisposed of. With neither govern
ment desiring war and each doing all
In Its power to avoid It, both might
nevertheless be forced Into war.
Will Save Friction.
The danger la that there might be
an anti-Japanese riot In San Fran
cisco or elsewhere on the Pacific
coast. This would stir up popular
passion both In the United States and
Japan. In this country It might ea
Ily be followed by public opinion de
manding and securing the enactment
by congress of a Japanese exclusion
bill. This In turn would Inflame
public opinion In Japan.
For a long time It has been be
lieved by the best-Informed officials
and diplomats that the enactment of
an exclusion law by the United States
would be Inevitably followed by war
with Japan. In settling the Immigra
tion matter it la understood there is
no treaty, nor even an exchange of
formal notes, but that none the less
the so-called "yellow peril" Is a
ghost laid to rest.
