"Upiet business with bank guaran
tee. His labor plank is nothing, you see
A snaro to catch votes for Billy B.
"His tariff fight is childish and bland;
It 's brought prosperity into the land.
Nostrum and vagary peepul seo
It's panic aud ruin," said Billy T.
"From all over conies news to mo
No change wanted just prosperity.
The landslide that's coming Novem

Drowns Billy B, elects Billy T."

And crowds heard Billy B grill Bil

Only for trusts," said bold Billy B.
"From all over news comes to me
It's chnngo that's wanted," suid
bold Billy B.
"A lnndslido coming on Novomber
thrco.
I'll be victor, not Billy T."
UNCLE SAM
HAS NO SAY
Attorney Smith Gives
Opinion as to the Forest'
er's "Use Book"
In Thursday's Mail this statement is
made:
"When any person tells you that
lakes and streams of water in forest re
serves are polluted by stock grazing
thereon, you refer them to any forest
ranger or to the forest ranger's 'Use
. Book.' In this book it relates thnt
stock must not be grazed within 300 feet
such streams of water or lakes,"
Wo nil know, or should know that tho
forest rungers and tho ' 1 Use Book ' '
have only to do with tho public lands in
the reserve. The federal government
has no jurisdiction over private lands
in tho reserve. Along Butte creek from
Fish Lake to the Hnnley ranch thero
are several thousand acres of land own
ed by private parties, aud no forest
ranger has tho least authority to say
where and how near such creek the
owner of Biich land enn graze his cat
tle. Tho only method by which the
government eould got nt the control
over theso lands would be to buy them
from the owners.
The Ashland Creek
It is true that Ashland ereek heads
in a forest reserve. It was established
years ago and no one lives in it and
the land included is all public land. It
was a forest reserve specially created
to conserve tho water supply of Ash
land. Fish Lake is in the Cascade
reserve in which tho government now
permits homesteads to be taken nnd
lumbering to bo carried on. The Mnil
proceeds to insiminte what tho govern
ment will dn as soon as Med ford com
mences using water from this source
something to do with their opposition
to Hamilton's proposition."
What will the government dot Does,
the Mail knowf If so, where did it
gets itB information? Tho government
will do whntf Confiseato tho lands
owned by private persons in the vicin
ity? No; the constitution prevents that.
No man 'b property fan be taken without
compensation. Will tho government
buy tho lands to put them into a rc
servo to please Medford? No; not
oven to pleaso the Mail. Why will it
notf BeeattHo it never has done ho,
and thore Ia no law under which that !
can be done. Any such step would re-1
quire ft law of congress carrying an
appropriation of money for the pur
pose. It would be establishing a vic
ious precedent, for it would be an ap
propriation of money for the benefit of
a private corporation claiming the right
to divert 10,000 inches of water because
it was. supplying a city with about 200
inches. If tho city of Medford owned1
all the water rights and would buy all
the private lands nnd deed them to the
government, tho government would un
doubtedly maintain a reserve, but to do
this for a private corporation because
it has sold water to municipality is
too absurd to be seriously advocated.
Typhoid in Ashland
Yea, Ashland has a forest reserve, but
how long has it been since there was a
summer in which thnt city had fifty
six cases of typhoid fever and several
deaths, because the railroad was drain
ing its water supply from a private
pipe that took the water from below
tho head of the city's water supply?
All of this could have been avoided by
a scientific filter system. Again what
protection does limiting of grazing cat
tle to within 300 feet of a stream give
to any water supply? Along Little
Butte between Hnnley ranch where
Hamilton's headgnte will be and Fish
Lake a distance of ten miles is almost
a canyon and from the ereek the land
rises rapidly on each side. When the
first heavy rains come all the offal from
oattle is washed -down the creek, and
become a part of the city water supply.
If the Mail likes thot kind of con
somme no one will object to its using
it, but it should not try to force it upon
th rest of the people, because' 'Shorty"
is buving a few extra eopies.
ROBERT O. SMITH
PEOPLE'S CAUSE
i
PREVAIL
Such Was Theme Running
Through Attorney Bob
Smith's Speech
Declaring that tho cause of the peo
plo was tho cause of righteousness nnd
bound ultimately to prevail, and thnt in
William .Tonuings Bryan the people had
a fearless champion, whose whole life
had been devoted to their cause, "Robert
Ci. Smith of Croats Pass Saturday eve
ning in an eloquent speech followed by
an enthusiastic burst of applause from
a crowded house brought to a close the
democratic campaign in Jackson coun
ty.
Mr. Smith spoke for two hours on
politicnl issues, discussing nt length
the differences in the republican and
ilemocratin platforms and comparing
the planks of each. Ho made clear the
fact that Taft was running upon a re
actionary platform that did not declare
f.ir a singlo reform of Roosevelt s nnd
that thoso sucking his election wore
those who successfully blocked all re
form legislation, lie dwelt upon Rock-
feller's support of Taft and gnvo the
iil king's reasons for it.
"There will be no panic in ease of
Bryan 'h election," said Mr. Smith.
J by do they fear Bryan? The 'inter
ests' claim that they control tho senate
for tho next four years and that Bry
an's hands nre tied, that he cannot ac
complish anything. Why, then, do thoy
fear him? Look at llansbrough of
North Dakota, Long of Kansas, Kit
tredge of South Dakota nnd Hopkins of
Illinois; they stood for the 'interests'
atinst tho people, nnd tho people let
them stay at home when they sought
re-election. If Bryan is electe1, the
predatory classes daro not block his
reform progress. His election will bo
tho handwriting on the wall; the plain
notice to nil that tho people aro going
to rule, and no ono will daro to question
their right."
