A COTTAGE GROVE hNUUKt.it.
A correspondent writes from Cottage Grove as follows:
"I notice in the window of the Cottage Grove Leader
two small pears marked San Jose scale, "Medford 's Best."
I was rather taken aback and had another look to make
sure. I have lived in Medford and know what kind of
pears and apples are grown there. J f Cottage Grove can
.produce any fruit to compare with that grown about Med
ford, then it is more than I have seen; hut the idea of any
Oregon newspaper slurring any town in Oregon is not
right. If a good word can't be said, say nothing. All
should pull together for the benefit of the whole state.
"I have got my opinion of any newspaper man that
would show such poor judgment. I am not the only one
that noticed these pears; there are several ex-Medford
people here, and they feel indignant about it.
"Subscriber and Collage Grove Citizen."
Medford pears need no defense. Their quality speaks
for them, and the prices they bring in competition with
the world speak still more convincingly. They are the
finest pears on earth, barring none, and so acknowledged
No orchards are better cared for or freer from pests than
those of the Rogue River valley, a credit to and even an
advertisement for, all of Oregon, including Cottage Grove.
The Cottage Grove Leader exhibits the narrow, petty,
miserable knocking spirit of the mossback and ought to
li iiKhimiml of itself for its littleness a sniallness that
cannot help anyone and can only injure itself.
"Eugene was the lirst city in Oregon to invite E. II
Harriman to be its guest. Later Portland, Astoria and
other cities fell in line and extended similar invitations,'
says the Eugene Register. This is not so. Medford had
invited Jlarrinian and he had accepted the invitation be
fore Eugene thought of it. That's where Eugene got its
cue. Moreover, last year Medford invited Mr. Jlarrinian,
and this was the only town in Oregon he stopped at
(Cuast Seaman's Journal.)
Those who criticize the policy of the
Aincrirnn Federation of Labor in the
present caiiinif(u affect great confi
dence in the "independence of labor,"
but that position is belied by too much
insistence. Did the opponents of or
ganized labor really feel as they ipeak,
did they really regard tho workers n
so many sovereign citizens able to form
their own opinions and capable of net
mil upon I heir own judgment, they
would talk u good deal less than they do
about the "bargnin to deliver the labor
vote," their confidence would be ex
pressed by dignified silence rather than
by noisy asseveration. These expres
sions of pretended respect for and con
fidence in labor nro merely so much
flattery, having itB basis in a convic
tion that tho labor bote can be deliv
ered whero it belongs, i. e., to the party
of labor's self styled friends.
Theso frionds (?) of ours may rest
assured. Although they do not really
helicvo It, thoso who take exception
to tho policy of tho American Federa
tion of I.nbor in the present campaign
are dead right in asserting thnt "the
labor voto can't be delivered." 1 lie
deration itself knows this at least
as well, and probably better, man no
its critics. Tho difference, between the
nttitudu of the Federation and that of
its critics and opponents is that where
as the latter merely nsBcrt the "indo
lence of labor" tho former not
only asserts that condition, Inn nelieves
it.
Tho American Federation of l.nlmr
knows that labor is not a "coinmiKii
ty," and that the "labor vote" is not
a deliverable quantity. The Federation
knows more than this; it knows tlint
labor can be united in its own interests
for action in the political field as well
n.t.i rei.:n 1n.nl.
as ill too economic neni. mm
Ige inspires both tho hope of the fed
eration and th fearo f the Federa
tion 'a opponents. The Federal ion hopes
bv a campaign of education to unite
the "labor vote" in such manlier as to
make it an offoctivo factor at the polls.
Tim cinnolienls of the Federation fear
Hi, i result of that campaign nnd on the
desiierato chance of defeating it have
raised the false issue of an attempt to
"deliver tho labor vote." It remains
to be said that that fear is well found
ed as the method adopted to offset it
is absurd and futile. Thnt the campaign
of education will produce material re
sults iH now beyond doubt. That the
"labor vole' will be "delivered"
where it will do most good is eipmlly
certain. Tho delivery will be made
(New Vork Evening Post.)
The campaign has gone far enough
for the classic "warning note" against
over-confidence to be "Bounded," bs
Postmaster General Mover sounded it
at Hot Springs yesterday, bui mis
yiar Mr. Meyer need not hold up the
uicture of the republican conorts im-
ing their time away in their domestic j
Cnpuas while Fabius Minimus Bryan
is drilling his forces and leading them
to battle. Kven if tho republicans go
to the polls and do their very best,
they have a fight ou their hands this
year such as they have not had since
1HSI0.
There are still largo numbers of dem
ocrats who cannot stomach Hryan, but
there are large numbers, too, that have
made up their mind this year to swal
low the doso. liryan's strength in the
middle west is yet to bo tested. l'ora
ker's capacity for mischief in Ohio
must bo. discounted. Johnson's rcnom
ination In Minnesota raises a new sen
sitive spot on the siirfnco of tho repub
lican body politic.
Xo, there is no reason for republic
an over confidence this year, and Mr.
Meyer's warning was uncalled for, un
less the corporations have shown a ten
dency to fall into what the colored
preacher called "contributory negligence."
