THE BLIND LEADlSd THE HLISD.
There are none so blind as those who will not sec, who
will not hear, who will not learn.
At the very top of this class of blind men is the little
bunch of republican machine ring rule politicians whose
open defiance and contempt for the people has placed the
party in the predicament it is in tday. At the very apex of
this pyramid of the bnnglesonie blind is Senator Kulton,
whose defeat at the hands of the people, whose rebuke at
the primaries, has taught nothing.
Senator Fulton is personally popular. People like
him because of an agreeable personality, because he was
true to his friends under duress of federal persecution,
because he refused an immunity bath and is not afraid of
a fight. But these same people do not trust him, because
of his distrust of them. . He has no faith in the people, ad
mits it, and because of proven faithlessness to their cause,
they will have none of him.
That Senator Fulton places partisanship above honor
is shown by his open advice to republican legislators to
repudiate the written pledges upon which they were elect
ed. That he is not. t rue to himself and without honor him
self when the bauble of office may be in reach, is proved
by his own announced willingness to be a candidate before
the legislature, after having pledged, himself beiore the
campaign in his Corvallis speech, thai if defeated he would
not be a candidate before the legislature.
Senator Fulton now states: "As far as mv Corvallis
speech is concerned, nothing that I have said then or that
1 nave said at any time would preclude me I mm hemg a
candidate if 1 saw fit to become one."
There is nothing but the senator's own public pledge
to prevent it, and nothing but the expressed will of the
people to override but what is personal dishonor and
defiance of he people when an office is in sight? Nothing
to such men as C. AV. Fulton.
In his Mud ford speech last; spring, Mr. Fulton ex
pressed himself in favor of popular election of senators.
"I thank God that the old method has been done away with
in Oregon forever," he said. Vet here he is a few months
later seeking to restore the old days of legislative corrup
tion that he himself may profit by it.
Those legislators who contemplate repudiating their
pledges to the people had better make the price of their
Judas Iscariotisin high enough to move out of the state
afterwards, for an indignant constituency will make short
work of them on their return. They will then have com
pleted the wreck of the republican parly in Oregon, by
destroying the tailh ot the people in its promises and
pledges, as well as in its leaders and its public servants.
in America. Yet it will only be a few years until there are
no more fish in the river if the present conditions are per
mitted to exist, and the exyerniination of fish at Grants
Pass continues.
From one to three tons of salmon mid stcelheail arc
shipped daily from Grants Pass. In .Josephine county,
fishing by seines is permitted, and the channel is virtually
blocked by seines, which extend Ihree-cpinrters of the way
across the stream from each side. The ascent of the fish
is blocked by the worse than useless Golden Drift dam,
with its apology for a fishway, and the greedy fishermen
ply their trade clear to the toe of the dam. It is against the
law, but no attempt is made to enforce the law.
Very few fish this year have reached the Gold Rav
dam, thuogh hundreds are being caught daily below the
Golden Drift dam, all of which proves conclusively what is
the matter with fishing. Defective fish ways and rapacious
fishermen, seining and non-enforcement of laws, are fast
destroying one or tlie Kogue Ifiver valley s greatest assets
game fishing.
ticlore adjourning, the great council of Rodinen passed
a vote of thanks to both The Tribune and Mail for reports
ot convention. A word ot appreciation is so unusual to
the Mail that it is still talking about it.
There are more midsummer visitors in Medford todav
than in any August since time began and they are but

It is to be hoped that the water committee will give the
Applegate water proposition the closest investigation. In
both quality and quantity no fault can be found with the
supply, which is fed directly by inciting snows from the
peaks of the Siskiyous.
The great advantage resultant from the acceptance
wi ovf.iiv; ourii juojiomi ion as mat maoe lor mis water, is
the fact that it would render possible the irrigation of a
large section of the valley and hence materially aid in tin
development of both city and count rv.
