BRYAN AND HARMON.
According to Edwin O. Wood, Mich
igan' member of the Democratic Na
tional Comlttue, Mr. Bryan will not
bolt the ticket should Governor Har
an be nominated for the presidency
' In 1912. but lie will use all hit lnflu
ence In the convention and previous
to It to prevent the nomination. That
Bryan will oppose Harmon's candi
dacy s well known. He has been op
posing Harmon ever since he began
to be mentioned in connection with
the nomination. In almost ever is
sue of the Commoner there la a slap
at Harmon. While Bryan has some
other aversion among the men whose
names have been coupled with the
Democratic candidacy, his opposition
to none of those extends as far as It
does to the Ohio Governor.
The country remembers how Bryan
supported Parker, in 1904.. Harmon
can rely on the same sort of support
if be should get the nomination. Br
an opposed Parker In the convention
and foretold his defeat If he shoula
be nominated. But the convention
went right ahead and placed him in
the field.. Bryan made a few speeche
for Parker. He called on him at
Esopus, and was photographed seated
on a bench there with him. Several
times during tbe campaign he went so
far as to predict that Parker might.
In a certain contingency which did
not take placed be elected. But when
tbe telegraph on the night of Novem
ber 8, told that Parker was beaten
worse than any other candidate sine
Horace Greeley In 1872, he refrained
from putting crepe on his arm. Neith
er did he express any surprise.
Gov. Harmon's friends, If he should
be nominated, will not place much
reliance on the support which Bryan
may give him. In Bryan's own sec
tion of the country Harmon would
be weak. Although be would be far
stronger In New York, New Jersey
and the East In general than Go.
Wilson, or Speaker Clark would be,
Harmon belongs to the old Cleveland
element of the Democracy. Cleveland
selection of Harmon for a, cabinet
place introduced the Ohio man to the
country. Previous to that time he wa3
not known outside the borders of the
state, and not very well known in it
Some recent revelations about Wilson
have weakened the New Jersey Gover
nor as a Presidential nomination pos
sibility, but he Is still in the race, and
the contest seems to be between him
and Harmon. Neither could get the
enthusiastic support of the entire De
mocracy, but either of them would
probably be as strong as any other
man whom the party could selest. '
one with a guilty knowledge would
employ a lawyer before he even bad
bon accused.
"If this man U to be held on this
evidence then no man In this court
room is safe, and I should advise
every man. woman and child In this
county to carry a gun In every pocket,"
shouted Mr. Brownell in the course of
his argument Thla brought applause
from all parts of the room and it
wns sometime before Justice of the
Peace Samson restored order.
Mr. Brownell told the court that it
was his duty to set the prisoner froe
and not allow the stigma to rest upon
him and his family upon such evi
dence.
"Either to that" suiJ the lawyer,
"or compel the prosecution to pro
duce some evidence upon which the
court can conscientiously hold this
man. There la absolutely nothing
asalnst him. If one of the Main
street banks were robbed and a man
bad been seen getting off a car late
at night anywhere on Main street,
that act would be Just as conclusive
of his having robbed tne bank, as the
evidence given here is that my client
committed this outrageous crime.
Br. Brownell referred to the pris
oner once as "brother Harvey, and
said his reputation had been spotless
up to the time of his arrest in this
case. The lawyer made a strong and
eloquent appeal
After the applause had subsided
Justice of the Peace Samson said:
"I have known this defendant twen
ty-Bve years. I never beard anything
against bis character before. Tbe fact
that he was seen at the station the
night the crime was committed Is not
sufficient evidence upon which to
hold him. Human nature Is flexible.
He was frightened into going to Port
land and signing that contract I do
not believe he knew what he
was doing. It was not ethical in the
lawyers to take advantage of his con
ditlon, and, I think an Investigation
should be made, and if it is shown
tbey did what they are accused of do
ing, they should be disbarred. The
complaint is dismissed."
I have been working on this case
ever since tne discovery or tne
crime," said Sheriff Mass, "and only
a few days ago the grand Jury sent
for me and asked me what progress
I had made. I gave tbe Jury an out
line of the evidence, without mention
ing any name, and the jurors are re
ported as having said the man should
be indicted. A few days later I was
called before the Jury again and gave
the evidence In greater detail. The
jurors Insisted upon Indicting the man
accused, and asked me to communi
cate with District Attorney Tongue.
This I did and the district attorney
advised me to have a preliminary
hearing. Tbe same grand jury will
meet again January 10."

Sheriff Mass announced Wednesday
that he would turn over what evi
dence he had In the case of Nathan
11. Harvey, thjB Milwaukle nursery
man, acquitted of having any connec
tion with the slaying of. the Hill fam
ily In Justice of the Peace Samson's
court to the grand Jury, which will
meet January 10.
"I want the grand Jury to have the
evidence and the case to be sifted
to the bottom, not only for the benefit
of the people of the county and state,
but tor the benefit of the man we ac
cused." said the sheriff. "We made
a mistake in not introducing more
evidence at the examining trial. The
mistake will not be made again. I
shall have a talk with District Attor
ney Tongue regarding the course to
be pursued."
Scores of friends of Sheriff Mas
said Wednesday that the sheriff had
done his duty, and should not be
blamed in any way. He has worked
almost continuously on the case since
the finding of the bodies, and has
gone without the necessary sleep for
weeks at a time, ft is argued that
the sheriff has done all It was possl
ble for any human being to do In
trying to solve the case.
'I am confident that the slayer or
the Hills will yet be captured," con
tlnued Sheriff Mass, "and I have by
no means given up the fight If Mr
Harvey Is innocent I want that fact
to be clearly shown. But as certain
as the crime was committed the
guilty person will be found, and I
believe punished."

As before stated, I neither advocate
nor oppose single tax at this time,
the reason being that I consider It tne
most Important question that has been
before the people of Oregon In many
years, and because or lack of time to
properly study it, I do not consider
myself qualified to discuss It Intelli
gently. But owing to a somewhat
economical turn of mind, I dislike to
see such prodigal waste of good print

the discussion of tbe question thus

UNTILLED LANDS.
Out of the 621,000,000 acres of land
in the South only 155,250,000 are un
der cultivation, according to Senator
Fletcher of Florida, In other words,
three-quarters of the South are un
tilled.
As the South increases In popula

changed. Land hunger is general
throughout the country and large num
Ders rrom tne Northwest are cross
ing the border into Canada.
In anticipation of this influx the
South is taking a keen interest in the
matter of good roads. In the last few
years many of the Southern States
have taken up the matter of improved
highways and millions of dollars have
been spent and millions more are now
being spent for the improvement of
existing roads and the construction of
new ones.

CASTORI A
HAY ACT IN CHINA
LONDON, Dec. 23. Considerable
curioHity han been aroused In diplo
matic circles here regarding the rea
sons for the proposal of Great Britain
and Japan to undertake a dual media
tion In China after the powers, In
cluding the United States, had decid
ed to present an Identical note to the
conference now meeting at Shanghai.
There was a tendency to believe
that the Japanese government had
made the proposal and that Japan
was anxious to Intervene. It turns
out now, however, that the proposal
really came from the British govern
ment, acting on the belief that the
British Consul at Hankow, who bad
induced the combatants to agree to an
armistice, might again succeed as a
mediator in the larger question.
It Is understood that the State De
partment Is making inquiries both in
Japan and Great Britain in regard to
the Dro Dosed British-Japanese mediation.

ur. io tne Editor: Concerning sin
gle tax, the subject which will prob
ably receive more discussion In Ore
gon in the next few months than all
other public questions combined, I do
not wish to be understood as either
advocating or opposing It. I am seek
ing information. I do not know to
day whether I shall vote for or against
single tax, when it comes to a vote,
or not, but I am trying to watch the
arguments, pro and con, as well as I glad to know, also that so many of
can, In hope that before the time to our leading men are coming out In
vote comes I shall be able to deter- the open so that we know where they
are. Where are you, Mr. Editor

OPPOSES 8INGLE TAX.
I was much pleased with Judge
Dlmlck's article In the Morning En
terprise regarding single tax. When
a man accents xiG.ouo aira Detter to
work for a measure In direct conflict
with the Interests of the common
people and in favor of the capitalists
we know where to place him. I am
mine to my satisfaction how to mark
my ballot.
I am not from Missouri, but I lived
for a long time (when I was young
and susceptible to impressions) where
tbe winds from the west used fre
quently to blow the "show me" In
fection across the state line, and
doubtless some of the morbific germs
found lodgment in my system. There
fore, it Is up to the propagandists of carry his Just proportion of the taxes,
the single tax'theory on the one hand,
and Its opponents on the other to
show, by relevant facts (not conclu
sions, the Intelligent voter will reach
them If he has the facts), whether or
not the single tax theory, if put Into
actual practice, will probably result
In a more equitable distribution of the
burdens of taxation, and in substan
tlal benefits to the state and to the
masses of the people and the Intelli
gent voter will not fall to keep in
mind the fact that, to get a worse and
more corrupt system of taxation than
we now have, we will have to "go
some. '
As to whether it will cost $16 or
$16,000 to place the single tax theory
clearly and Intelligibly before the vo.
ters of the state or not, I cannot see
that it matters if the money was not
corrupty obtained, and Is not being
corruptly used. Because, I suppose
that the morft conscientious member
of a legislature would not balk at the
amount of expenditure that had been
necessary to place before the body,
for Its 1-nllghtenment, the true facts
ure of great general Importantance
upon which the body was called upon
to act.
Whether the money that is being
expended In the single tax propaga
tion is tainted with corruption or not.
we don i know, but we seem to be
getting some light on the question,
Mr. E. C. Hackett. In the Enterprise
of December 2.1, says that single tax
Is a scheme of the Interests to shift
what little they now pay over on the
backs of the farmers. May be It Is.
But Mr. Hackett says So which ap
pears to be merely his opinion wltn
out a single fact to back it up.
Mr. Hackett admits, however, that
the Interests only pay "a little." Now,
the question Is, can we devise some
means by which they can be com
pelled to pay more up to their Just
proportion? Certain people, ycleped
ingle taxers, assert that we can, and
submit a scheme by which they say
It can be accomplished. Can It? If
Mr. Hackett knows to the contrary, I
think he should tell ns bow and why
he knows, or believes, It There are
lot of us waiting now for Just that
kind of Information.
Under existing laws whose fault Is
it that the taxes are not equitably
adjusted? If the assessor gives each
and every one a square deal, then the
burden must fall on each and all
alike.
I am of the opinion that our
assessors have been trying to do this.
If they have failed in any sense I am
loth to believe It was not done In
tentlonally.
If any of us know of Instances
where assessments are not Just and
equitable it Is our duty aa good cm
zens to point these out to the asses
sors. If he won't consider the matter
we should go before tbe board of
equalization and make a showing
there.
We hear the cry of high taxes ev
erywhere, but this Is our own fault
to a great extent. We are living In
a fast age and are trying to fly before
we get the wings. Extravagance pre
vails everywhere, from the Inaugura
tlon of President down to constable.
History tells us that Jefferson rode
on horse-back to the White House
went In and read his twenty-minute
Inaugural. This was done without any
nomo and ceremony whatever. What
do we do now? It Is needless to say
that we've drifted so far away from
the simplicity of former days and
burled so deeply in the sins of extrav
agance, that Gabriel's horn may not
save us. We must return to saner
and simpler things as the socialists
proclaim.
Single tax does not lead In that di
rection and It remains for us to man
the watch-tower, and not be led by
hirelings. A man who sells his birth
right for a mess of pottage and who
advocates certain things because he
Is paid to do so, Is not to be looked
up to as a director and leader, but
rather as an enemy In disguise and a
man to be displsed and shunned for
such Is not of the Kingdom of God,
they are the followers of the other
fellow. E. C. HACKETT.

PLEA FOR TEACHERS.
Oregon City Enterprise. To the
Editor: At a recent teachers' meet
ing held In our supervisor's district,
it was suggested to me that I write
my opinion about the relation that
ought to exist between the parents
of a district and Its teacher. Now
whether this opinion was to be given
at our next meeting or to be given
to the public at large, I do not know.
And having confidence In a charita
ble public, I give It with the hope that
I am not treading on forbidden
ground. In our rural communities
neighbor visits neighbor from time to
time as a matter of social necessity.
Tbey meet ut least once a week, ninny
of them, as a religious necessity and
listen with due respect to the Minn
they have chosen for a limited time,
to act as guide on their way to Para
dise. They will enct freely und un
complulnlng, at any expense, their
places of public worxhlp and regard
the Individual who fills the pulpit as
a auperlor being. But how dllturont
does the aume community act toward
Its other common home, the public
school! The most valuable discov
ery, If you please, of modern times!
The common meeting place of all tho
cblldron In the community between
certain ages. Children who have as
many kinds of training as there are
homes In the community meet here.
This same community "hire" a man
or a woman from aomewhere for eight
or nine montha In a year to Instruct
thulr children In human affairs. Hut
this man or woman who Is railed tho
"teacher" la looked at In a different
way than the man In the pulpit. Tbe
one Is looked at with reverence, the
other la regarded with suspicion gen
erally. You have established a cus
tom that one day In seven you meet
your minister but you never feel It
your duty to meet tbe teacher of your
children one day In a hundred. Par
ents, however, are not to be blumed
alone; and In many cases, possibly In
a majority or cases, the teacher Is
most to blame. Note tbe new min
ister Just "come to town." He, al
though a stranger, begins at once to
meet his people and becomes acquaint
ed with them. He la courteous, polite,
and sympathetic. In other words, he
goeg right Into their homes, no mat
ter how humble, and leads them to
feel that he is their friend. How
many teachers do this? Do we won
der why parents feel Ilk strangers
In their own scboolhouie? It Is also
true that many teachers feel better
If the parent finds no time to visit the
school. (But this should not keep
parents away.) For tho great major
ity of them, to their human weakness,
be It said, fall to establish and main
tain those happy relations between
all tbe children of the school that
come only from nn Impartial teacher.
It Is equally true, that the most suc
cessful teachers In their best days
fall to please all the parents. For It
Is a curious fact that some parents
feel that their children are so good
that no reprimand Is ever earned
by them! Having thus briefly out
lined the conditions of mind concern
ing the school as they exist, and the
raiiHim therefor, I earnestly believe
that If parent, and teachers also,
will do more visiting, the parents tbe
school, and the teacher the borne,
and tarh have rrgurd for the other
aa men and women; talking over mat
ters concerning the Individual chil
dren confidentially; and adding to
this all. a kind voire, a good eye,
and a strong arm, etc., on the part
of tho teacher In the schoolroom, our
schools everywhere will become hap
py home for all the children, a pleas
ant outing for parents, and an honor
to th teacher.
