OYAMA, NAPOLEON OF THE EAST.
The Napoleon of the East! There
is something electric in the phrase.
which seems fittingly applicable to
the dashing career of the Marquis
Oyama, the war comet of Japan. But
should we not rather take examples
from our own recent history and com
pare the Eastern warrior with Grant,
the mighty hammerer, or with Sher
man, the infatigable flanker? In both
these lines of military action Oyama
has made his mark, hammering and
flanking the Russians out of their
works at Liao-yang. and doing the
same at Mukden and Tie Pass, until
he has sent them drifting in dismay
towards far-aff Siberia.
Who is this man that now looms so
large in the world's eye? He was
born sixty years ago (in October,
1844) of humble parents, he grew up
one of the rare class of boys who say
little and think much. The age of
fifteen found him a student in the
United States, at the Temple Hill
School in Geneseo, N. Y.: at twenty
he made his way to Yedo, where mil
itary science became at once his labor
and his recreation.
He soon had an opportunity to ap
ply nis knowledge tne civil war
that broke out in Japan. Organizing
a battalion in his native Cehoshiuanl
clan, he rendered such vialiant ser
vice in the cause of the Mikado that
in 1870 he was one of the four young
officers sent to Europe to observe the
Franco-Prussian war. Attached to
the Prussian army he was present at
the siege of Paris, where he learned
useful lessons in the militarv art. On
his return, in 1871, he was promoted
to the rank of commander, and five
years later led an army against an
insurrection, which he quelled after
a brilliant campaign, says the Search
light.
We meet him afterward as Marshal
of the army and Minister of War of
the empire, sharing with Marshal
l amagata the honor of organizing
the Japanese army on European prin
ciples and making of it the wonderful
fighting machine which it has proved
itself to be. For a great soldier
great war is necessary, and the first
opportunity of Oyama came in 1894,
when as field marshal, at the head of
an army of nearly ninety thousand
men, he won the chief laurels in the
Chinese War, being the captor of
Port Arthur, Kin Chow, Talien-Wan
and Wei-Hai-Wei. Ten years later,
in 1904, came the supreme opportuni
ty of his life, and one which he has
handled supremely.
Oyama may be compared with Na
poleon in the fact that his work in
the Russian war has been seconded
by able lieutenants. During the early
months of the war he remained at
home, directing the movements of
such brilliant soldiers as Kuroki, No-
gi, Oku and Nodzu, commanding the
four Japanese armies in the field
Only when preliminary work of
these was well advanced, in July G
1904, did he go to the front in per
son and take immediate direction of
that series of remarkable movements
which drove the Russians in disaster
from their strong works at Liao-yang,
forced the surrender of the seeming
ly impregnable Port Arthur, and, at
the end oi months oi entorced inac
tivity in a Manchurian winter, ousted
Kuropatkin's army, with vast loss
from Mukden and Tie Pass.
What kind of a man is this Oyama?
One writer characterizes him as "a
queer compound of ugliness, wit,
strength, and Oriental cunning, with
an enormously receptive mind; a rap
id and deep thinker, who not only at
tracts but molds those about him to
any set purpose with Napoleonic di
rectness and Japanese grace. Small
pox has pitted his round brown face,
but his ugliness is relieved by a pair
of magnetic black eyes, which twinkle
with humor or squint when their own
er is deep in thought."
He is a man who does not love war.
His distaste for it amounts fairly to
hatred. He is in disposition gentle
and humane, "the mildest mannered
man that ever" led an army to victo-
ry. Instead of a hard-eyed, firce
tempered iron-fisted campaigner, he
is represented as one of the kindest
and most amiable of old gentlemen,
genial, witty and soft-hearted ; chari
ty at one time becoming such a mania
with him that his wife had to hold
the purse and put him on strict al
lowance. Thus it is he'has not grown
rich; he is too liberal to gather a for
tune, and in the Chinese war he
Dougnt provisions out of his own
pocket rather than pillage the wretch
ed villagers. He is one of the great
soldiers of history. He needs no
monument. He has built his own.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The double homicide and suicide of
the murderer near Drain a few days
ago. was the direct result of the will
ful indiscretion of a wife and mother;
When one contemplates the horror
of a woman's position, the awful re
sults of her conduct, it is almost im
possible to believe that a rational per
son would ever willing or unwilling do
that which might lead to such a san
guinary end. But similar tragedies
have become so common we are no
longer shocked. When murder
committed or attempted the story
finds its wav into print, but where
the public hears of one such scandal
there are a score that end in separa
tion and divorce without the real
cause being known except in the ira
mediate vicinitv. The discouraging
feature is that in most of the cases
women are the offenders, says the
Grants Pass Herald.
The cause of this can be traced to
two sources, the lack of training for
girls, and the extreme liberty allowed
girls and women in association with
men. This springs largely from our
svstem of co-operation of the sexes
in our public and private schools
Knowledge may be gleaned from
books, but education is the training
not only of the hand, and brain, but
of the spiritual nature. When that
truth is recognized, men will perceive
that the training of woman's nature
must, because of her inherent differ
ences, be unlike that of men. In
stead of trying to make the traits of
the two sexes approach by neglect, of
the trainine both educations will be
the highest development of each sex
along the lines of their nature.
Men willl be taught to be the pro
tectors of women and not their com
rades. Women may always be on the
defensive under any system but men
can be taught to be their defenders
instead of their enemies. This can
and must be brought by the training
of girls into women who will have the
highest self-respect. This is a wo
man's protection every-where. and
the absence of it comprises and de
stroves her character.
A DEMOCRATIC AUTOPSY
Tho Democratic mule is dead.
The last echo of his heroic brays
has died away.
His tail lies limp on the bare
ground, like the banner of a defeated
army.
His eaa? lop together and lies stiff
and lifeless like fallen flagstaff a from
the conquered walls of a dismantled
fortress.
Thtre is no breath to moisten the
lips that gave forth such pleasant
music.
Around him stands the doctors.
The autopsy begins,
Dr. Bryan gently, almost lovingly
lifts the tail of the c orpse and exam
ines it carefully.
"It was Spinal Belmontitis," he
says. " That's what killed him."
Dr. Gumshoe Stone is down on the
ground examining the ears.
"I think it was Parkeritis."
"It might be a complication of
both," answered Dr. Bryan.
Dr. Tillman gritted his teeth and
spit like a cat.
"I know a name for it," he hissed,
"but I have no language to express
it"
"I pronounce it damphoolishness,"
answered Dr. Hogg, of Texas.
"That's a slow disease" chimed in
Dr. Daniel.
"He's had it a long time," said Dr.
Hearst.
"But it never affected his voice,"
suggested Dr. Williams.
Dr. Bryan blushed and dropped the
mule's tail.
"Let's try a reorganization bat
tery on him," he said.
"He's been organized and reorgan
ized too often now," grunted Hogg.
"Let's prop him up anyhow; maybe
we can ride again," insisted Dr. Bryan.
"Let's rest," the others said, and
then sat down. Buzz-Saw.
Editor Lew L. McKenney, of the
Myrtle Creek Mail was transacting buei
nees at the county seat today. Just be
iore leaving Myrtle Creek this morning
he stated that a quarrel of two or tbree
days' duration in which some of the
members of the Italian railroad ballast
ing crew had been envolved, terminat
ed in a shooting scrape and the brand
ishing of knives, but no serious damage
resulted Mr. McKenney reports that
three shifts are working in W. B. Stew
art's Continental mines on South Myrtle
Creek and that the force will be in
ert ased as the season advances. The
prospects at this mine ie very promising.
VERY MUCH OVERDONE.
The report sent out from Portland
that E. D. Stratford wanted in the
land fraud cases was sprinting around
somewhere in Kansas in order to
evade the issue proves a canard. Mr.
Stratford while in Roseburg said he
is ready to respond any time to the
call of the government. It is a fact
that none of those against whom in
dictments have been returned have
evidenced any particular alarm over
the situation, in practically every in
stance the accused expressing willing
ness to be on hand at the appointed
time to face the charges, says t he
Eugene Register.
The land fraud situation has been
greatly magnified in this state large
ly through the efforts of the Port
land press, whose chief motive in so
doing seems to have been based chief
ly upon political grounds.
When the whole matter is sifted to
the bottom and the guilty separated
from the innocent and given proper
punishment there are a few would-be
prominent men in Oregon and several
papers that may wish they had been
more conservative in the course they
have pursued.
The Oregonian has been hedging
considerably of late on this question
and even now declares that Oregon
land frauds are a trifle compared to
the gigantic swindling that has gone
on in Washington, California and oth
er states.
It always pays to exercise good
judgment in such matters from the
start.
The low tone of political morality
receives a painful and striking illus
tration in these successive blows to
senatorial prestige. The Record
Herald says: "The possibility of
further disgrace and degradation
would be greatly diminished by sub
stituting for indirect elections the
plan of popular election of Federal
senators." The Record-Herald might
also have said that the fact that
there are a number of United States
Senators who have not yet been
reached by indictment, and will per
haps never be reached by indictment
who serve on the Senate floor as the
representatives of special interests.
provides another striking argument
in favor of the popular election of
senators. The Record-Herald might
also have said that the fact that
New York. Minnesota and Nebraska
have during the present year elect
ed to the Senate men who were picked
by the railroads provides another
strong argument in favor of the pop
ular election of senators.
The story comes from lane County
of a boy of 12 years cruelly beaten by
his father; of a fine imposed upon the
brutal parent, on his own admission of
guilt, and the subsequent hiding under
the house for three days and nights
by the terrified child, where he sub
sisted upon scraps thrown to the dogs,
from the fear of his unnatural parent
ihe hrst inquiry that arises in con
nection with this case is. Where was
this boy's mother and what was she
doing while her child was being thus
inhumanly treated. A woman of any
spirit would not submit to such abuse
of her child, even though to stop or
prevent it she had to have resource
to a club or to boiling water from
her teakettle. To fine a brute of this
kind is only to impoverish his family
to the extent of the amount imposed.
without offering them further ira
munity from his brutality. A punish
ment that would fit the crime is the
only safeguard against its repetition,
and the mother is the agent ordained
by Nature to inflict it. Oregonian.
Harrison R. Kincaid, editor of the
Oregon State Journal at Eugene, and
an ex-secretary of state, speaks as
follows concerning the denial of
prominent person of that town that
he is a candidate for the nomination
of governor: He says he has not
been a candidate for that or any oth
er office, but intends to leave politics
alone and attend to his own business
And, by the way' he has a good busi
ness that is a good deal more certain
than any political office and ought to
pay better than being governor. In
this he shows good judgment. The
abuse, lying and ignorant vitupera
tion heaped on every public officer of
any importance, who tries to do his
duty faithfully, by envious and jeal
ous people who are themselves graft
ers and are in politics for revenue
only, is enough to disgust any sensi
ble person with the whole business.'
I jess than a year ago Muttonhead
Alexieff was talking of driving the
Japanese army into the sea. Now
Russia is staggering under a demand
for an $800,000,000 war indemnity,
History is made fast these days, and
the space of a few months changes
things wonderfully.

NEW MINING
INCORPORATION
Articles of incorporation have just
been filed with the county clerk bv the
Kramer Gold Mining and Milling Com
pany with a capital stock of $100,000,
fully paid and non-assessable. The in
corporators are Willis Kramer, Lulu
Kramer, H. L. Marsters, 8. C. Flint and
H. Booth. Roseburg will be the
principal place of business and head
quarters of the company. Stock will be
placed on the market in a few days and
owing to the well established fact that
this is one of the best mining prop
ositions in Southern Oregon, the stock
will no doubt be taken rapidly. The
property includes the original Kramer
mine on Whiskey creek, a tributary of
Rogue river in Josephine county, which
has already produced quite au amount
of bullion and is a very valuable prop
erty. Medford's Great Enterprise
Work on the exhibit building, near
the Southern Pacific depot, is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, but it will
probably be a couple of weeks before it
is fin. illy completed. The large plate
glass windows for the front and Bide will
be here this week. The interior is
ready for lathing and plastering, but
inability to secure lathe has delayed the
work some. Tpon the side facing the
railroad track and that facing Seventh
street, the exterior finish will be of
cement, laid uon steel lath. It lias
been suggested that if miners of the
vicinity would bring in specimens of
mineral ore of various descriptions the
specimens could be imbedded in the
cement, very much to the Improvement
of the general effect. There will be
about one hundred and twenty electric
lights on the outside of the building,
underneath the poich, eighty of them
being on the aide facing the track. The
total number of lights in and about ttie
building will be over two hundred
Seventy will tie required for the big
electric sign on top which will outline
the word Medford. This will be an al
ternating fiaah sign and will be visible
for a long distance. When finished this
will be the finest and most complete
building for exhibition purposes possess

only one of its kind. Medford Mail.
Telephone Evesdropping.
A patent for a very unique divice has
been issued to A. W. Hammer, of New

if reports are true, which promises to
revolutionize the telephone service, es

party line. W hi Ie these telephone

I people generally, mere has ten one
great drawback, namely the habit of
"eveedropping" while others talked
This has Income so general that in
that section business men will no longer
talk business over the line, for fear some
one is listening. Mr. Hammer's device
will change all this, ft is so arranged
that when one party on a telephone line
calls another all other subscribers are
automatically cut off and cannot hear
what ie being said. When the parties
are through talking, the device again
t opens the line for the next call.
