HOW UAKRIMAX CAX HELP.
That K. H. llarriinan has the interests of Southern
Oregon at heart is shown not only hy his choice of a sum
mer home at IVlican Hay, but by his agreement to serve
as a member of the Crater I-ako road commission, which
is to have charge of the proposed quarter million-dollar
boulevard t the lake from Medford and Klamath Falls.
J lis influence and o-jH-raUon will give national sig
nificance to the movement.
That -Mr. Harrhnan Mievt emphatically in commu
nities helping theinsvhvs was slmwii by the speech he made
at Klamath Falls on Ins arrival, when he told the citizens
that if they did rj-l wake up and do something themselves
in the gii rads way. he wouldn't visit them again.
When Mr. Ilarriman visits Medford, as he will noon,
he will find a hustling city doing its best to help itself. He
will find miles of streets U-ing paved, sewers being laid,
a water system in course of construction, two $40,000
Hchoolhouses, lesides numerous hrirk blocks and a hun
dred residences in course of construction.
And if Air. Ilarriman wants to help a community that
helps itself and at the same time help himself, he can best
do so by building branch linos that will develop the timber
and mining resources tributary to Medford.
It is welcome news that Governor Chamberlain brings
of the promise by Mr. Ilarriman of the speedy construction
of a railroad into central Oregon. Hut ( 'oos Hay and other
places got similar promises years ago, so that people of
Oregon, like those of Missouri, will ''have to be shown"
before there is anv wild enthusiasm.

SWAY IN ROSEBURG

oal ehanifi'S have come over the for
mer saloons in the towns which were
forced to go "dry" in the June elec
tion. A I'nrtlnudor who was in Rose
burg yestt-rday says that "near boor"
is the only substitute for the genuine
article and that it is very uiiHalisl'ac
tory.
"After transacting my business,"
xaid lie. "I wai invited over to the sa
loon to take a drink. The bar was just
at in former days, brass rods and all,
but behind the counter the familiar
rows of hootch bottle were missing. A
public stenographer had her desk and
typewriter in one corner of the bar
room. "While tho establishment has every
appearance of a saloon, it had become
a soil of soda water fountain, without
the soda water. It looks ligo boor, foams
like I r, is drawn from a tap like

but tastes insipid, ovs and girls

I heir near I r. Several women also
nti-red tin place and took thir near
beer stand ing up to 1 he bar. Their
right foot instinctively sought the rest
of tho brass rail at the fool of the bar.
"The town appeared to be near beer

the host they can get under the pro
dilution law, they take it with thanks."

What Papers Say
PRESS AGAINST BRYAN
(Sacramento Bee)
The Sauta Barbara Press felicitates
Taft in that the Brooklyn Kngle is out
against Bryan.
The Kagle is not a democratic news
paper, so much as a trust organ, which
ran always be relied unm to bolt a
democratic nominee who arraigns syn
dicated plutocracy, and to remain faith
ful only to those nominee or democracy
endorsed and ncooladed by Vall street.
Nor Is the Press more felicitous in
.ongratulating Taft Umu the support
of the Sun, Times, nnd Kvenlng IobI
of .Vw York, Those papers, each and
several, are owned by great syndicates
of wealth and edited in their tnterestH.
That Bryan has so few "groat news
papers" supporting him Is nu discredit
to the Commoner, but It does reflect
severely upon the condition of the
newspaper profession, when so many
alleged tribunes uf The People are
nothing more or less than the bought
and shackled organs of the "vested
interests. ' '
Look at our own state, for instance.
From one cud of Californitto the other
what wero unco respectable newspapers
and converting them into nothing less
than kept harlots. Kvery one of these
sheets is bitterly and mendaciously
against Bryan. But fortunately they
have littlo if any influence The read
ing public is not blind, and the masses
can read bet wen the lines.
INSURING WHAT?
(San Franciaco Star.)
What an these men insuring? Any
thing that will be hurt by sane, safe.
honest administration of public affairs?
The farmers are not insuring their crops
against Brvan 's election. The labor
unions and laboring men are not rush
ing to Lloyd's to insure their jobs a
gainst Bryan election, the railroad
omimnloH are not insuring their cars
and roadbeds against Bryan's election,
W. t. Douglass, tho shoe manufneLuier,
is not insuring his plant and business
against Bryan's election. Thun what
are these wise men of Wall street pay
ing a rate or ( per com. lo insurer
Nothing but the water m the stocks of
special privilege corporations. 1 hey are
insuring their stocks of water against
damage by Bryan ism. 'I hat is what
i hey an- insuring. And they are paying
10 per cent, for three months and a
half, or almost 7 per cent, per year!
They are paying for this insurance on
he water in their stocks, premiums of
10 per cent. In olher words, they know
that the public service privilege corpor
ations are so much overcapitalized that
they are willing to pay as insurance
premiums $H0 on stocks with a fee val
ue of $1,000! Could there be more can
did admission of all that Bryan and La
Folletle have charged in regard to
overcapitalization mid stock watering?
Paying $1011 on $1,0i0 worth of stocks
lor Ih roe and one halt mouths msur-
ince! These men, be it remembered,
ire not insuring property; they are
insuring privilege privilege of fore
ing the public to pay big dividends on
inflated valuations, and Ihov are doing
will bo elected, They fear Itryau and
t nev fear t he a 1 1 ornev general that
Itryau will appoint. They are not in
soring against Taft, for they know he
will do nothing to hurt special privilege
or to relievo the people of the tromen-
ous burden placed upon them by the
monopoly s right iliviuo to water ineir
stocks. These brokers nnd "financiers"
believe that Bryan will be elected, and
they see in his election a menace to
-pecial privilege not a menace to hon
est business. Only a week ago dis
patches from .Vow York said that
I tr vnn's nomination had no effect upon
the stock market because his nomina
t ion was discounted in advance, and
aft was sure to be elected. And now
tho brokers and gamblers and owners
f special privilege are standing in line
o pay a special rate of 10 per cent.

SHOULD CO-OPERATE.
(TimborinatO
There has been the usual amount of
fires prevalent in the timber districts
of the coast incidental to this time of
the year. These fires in the main have
boon confined to brush and looged
over lauds principally. Settlers arc
yearly voeoming more cautious in sot
ting out fires, and with the stricter
enforcement of t he state fire laws,
backed by an efficient fire patrol, both
federal and private, the chances for
any serious general conflagration are
reduced neeordinglv. The amount of
green timber which has been burned
has boon relatively small. There has
been one peculiar, yet significant fact
brought home to the owners of pine
stnmpagc in Oregon. Washington, Ida
ho ami California, hitherto generally
regarded as pract ically immune from
fire hazard, and that is the necessity
for greater supervision to eliminate fire
risks. This season fires have nocm
mgly been as general in tho pine belts
as in the heavily timbered sections west
of the Cascades. Whether these fires
are due to an extraordinary duration
of the dry spell or h lack of ordinary
precaution against conflagrat ions, is
not known, but one fact nevertheless
has become apparent, that pine lauds,
which much loss ordinarily suspectiblc
to the ravages of fire, require to be
closely watched in order to injure their
protection. The most serious fires in
Oregon up to date are reported in Crook,
Klamath and Linn counties, nnd the
latter is principally fir. In the esse of
the fires in Klamath and Linn conn
t ies the conflagrat ions are confined
principally to the forest reserves
The destruction of the town of For
uio, B. C, with its attendant loss of
-'0 or more lives, indicates that the moat
rigid forest fire laws should be passed
and enforced to reader a repetition of
this awful holacau-it unlikely.
The legislature of Oregon should ap
propriate at least I25.U0O annually, and
could well afford to expend $100,000
annually if necessary, to insure the
strictest and most rigid enforcement of
her forest fire laws. This same condi
tion applies to all the coast timbered
states. The loss of standing timber is
a menace to our agricultural iutorests,
through a diminution of our water sup
ply, and a serious drain on a none too
abundant reservo for the world's uses.
