PEANUT POLITICS.
Governor West did many good
things during his administration.
Likewise he played considerable pea
nut politics. He forgot that he was
elected governor of Oregon by a non
partisan vote, and when later elec
tions rolled around he busied himself
endorsing candidates simply because
they were democrats, or because they
adhered to bis faction. We are
bound to think that when we remem
ber during the 1912 Jackson county
campaign he came out in a double
column endorsement of Mr. Kelly for
prosecuting attorney. He either did
not know Mr. Kelly or did not care,
or did it because some of his faithful
henchmen asked him to do it. All
of which Is unbecoming the dignity
of governor of a great state.
Surely he did not know that Kelly's
chief ability was in playing penuchle
and catsing a fly or, when a case
of much moment web at Issue one
in which the fate of Jackson county
hung in the balance her reputation
as a community and the safety of her
police officers that he would busy
himself more playing penuchle than
arranging evidence, and so prove his
utter incapacity for the high office of
prosecutor, and his lack of Inter
est in the good reputation of Jackson
county.
"Governors should be less Insistent
and positive in endorsing men of
whom they know nothing. If they
do, their Influence will count - for
more when honestly exercised for the
weal of the community.
Peanut politics is bad politfcs and
bad policy, it Is a ward healer's in
strument and illy fits the dignity of
governor.
MINERAL RKKOUT INVESTMENTS.
Nauhclm, Austria, borrowed from
the state in 1904 two million dollars
for investment in watering resort
betterment, and In 1911 had paid in
terest and. 20 per cent of the princi
pal, besides paying $25,000 a year
bonus to the state, and Carlsbad
found mineral resort investments so
profitable that bonds for two million
five hundred thousand dollars were
Issued to make additions to its resort
plant, and Investment of that sum
marked be date of its development,
although Its waters had been known
for five hundred years. Last year
Carlsbad received more than a mil
lion dollars In klrtax during a four
months' season.
No sa.'er or more profitable Invest
ment can be made than In proper ex
ploitation of meritorious watering re
sort projects.
ter weapon of defense than any possi
ble legal action. Criminal libel is
frequently the subterfuge of those
driven to extremity by their own
shortcomings and usually falls under
the slightest weight. Character, abil
ity and application to duty are adam
antine corners in the best wall of
defense that was ever raised. Many,
many there be, brother, who have
tried criminal libel to bolster up slov
enly conduct, but have Ignominious
ly failed in bunches and come out
worse in the hole than had they never
started. Criminal libel laws were not
enacted to shield political chicanery,
dereliction and wanton disregard to
duty, and seldom are they success
fully employed to do it.
SHIELDING HIS OWN.
As an illustration how careless a
public servant can become, it appears
on Friday, before the trial of Martin
Monday, Prosecutor Kelly had not yet
been in communication with many of
the witnesses he used in the prosecu
tion. When the matter of subpoena
ing came about, the sheriff's office
asked Kelly for a list of witnesses be
desired for the state, and was noti
fied by him that Deputy Game War
den Pool, at Trail, would furnish
him the list. When the sheriff in
quired of Pool for the state's wit
nesses he said he knew nothing about
them Kelly had said nothing to him
about getting them and he did not
know, what witnesses he wanted.
Desire to render faithful Bervice
and save the good name of Jackson
county, as well as render justice,
would have impelled the' average
prosecutor, long before the trial, to
question witnesses as to the details
of their testimony, array the evidence
and be ready to present it in an in
telligent and forceful manner. That
is exactly what Attorney Reames did
for the defendant, and we have heard
it stated that never in Jackson county
has there been a clearer and stronger
arrangement of evidence than that
presented by Mr. Reames for the de
fense. And against that stood the unpre
pared ness of the state, with witnesses
subpoenaed without knowing what
their testimony would be. It Is no
wonder that the defendant's attorney
found it advisable to use state's wit
nesses for the defense, and gained a
verdict mostly on testimony of such
witnesses.
In view of these facts and the fur
ther one that Prosecutor Kelley Is a
special protege of the Mall Tribune
nominated and elected by the Influ
ence of that paper and Governor
West it is no less than a sensation
to find it flying into a rage over-the
acquittal of Martin and foaming at
Sheriff Singler, the court and the
jury, and entirely overlooking the
palpable dereliction of its own cad
who appears to be solely responsible
for the unfavorable verdict.
More graceful and fortunate, in
deed, had the Mail Tribune quietly
acquiesced and shielded Its liegeman
as best it could from derision and
public view. Its failure to do that
Is hard to acount for on any hypothe
sis save its anx'ety t5 "get back" at
county officials it cannot control.
That alone must have led it into the
pellucid maze from which it Is entire
ly unablo to extricate Itself with unc
tion however foamy and roily it
may attempt to lash the water with
its tall without explaining why its
.rvltor insisted on spending the
hours golfing and melding Instead of
arraying evidence In the Interest of
the state.

A Grocer Advertised.
Duke C. Bowers of Memphis,
Tenn., has forty-three grocery stores
In that town and sell? nearly half of
the groceries consumed there. Six
teen years ago he was piling staves
in a Kentucky barrel factory at $3
per day, and while working at that
job concluded to go into business for
himself. A friend loaned him $600
and he opened a cash grocery. His
sales' the first day amounted to just
eight cents. Now he is rated in the
millionaire class. Andrew L. Dem
ing quotes Mr. Bowers in the St.
Louis Republic as follows:
"If I had not discovered newspaper
advertising I would still be struggling
for a living in that first store instead
of having forty-three. It came about
this way: A few months after I
opened my cash grocery in Columbus,.
Ky., Charles N. Walker, who used to
edit the paper there, showed me it
would be to my advantage to take a
half-page ad every issue. Common
sensse told me there was no use run
ning a business that would save the
people money unless you told them
so, so I signed up a six months' con
tract. It pulled, so well, in fact, that
I used to buy 200 extra copies and
mail them out over Carlisle county to
see if I couldn't get the farmers to
come to Columbus to trade. Pretty
soon I became the biggest advertiser
that Walker had. Half pages became
too small for me; I began to use
pages. And business picked up ac
cordingly. Seeing the success possi
ble in a cash business pushed by good
advertising, I sold out to go where
I could get the greatest results from
my efforts. Just before starting for
Memphis an uncle of mine called me
out for a private talk. 'Duke,' he
said, 'you're not going to Memphis
sure enough, are you?' 'That is what
I am going to do,' I replied. 'I'm
going down there and go into the gro
cery business right away.' He shook
his head sorrowful-like and said:
'Duke, those newspapers will get all
the money you've got. Charlie Walk
er has been making more out of your
business than you have.' 'Well, the
newspapers have gotten a lot out of
me, but. my greatest regret is that I
didn't let them have more.' 'Then
you believg in advertising?' Mr. Bow-
was asked.
"'I am not merely a believer in
advertising," was the prompt rejoin
der, 'I am almost a maniac on the
subject. I firmly believe if I had
only spent half so much for adver
tising as I have spent, I wouldn't be
worth half so much as I am worth.
Furthermore, I am convinced that if
I had been foreslghted enough to
spend twice as much for advertising
as I have spent I would be worth
twice what I am worth."
Just at this time the mail order
houses are active in flooding the
country with handsomely gotten up
catalogues, quoting attractive prices
on staple articles and making all
sorts of big sounding claims for your
A circus depends for Its crowds,
not on Its elephants, but its big bass
drum. In drumming up trade for
Ashland's resort lets make all previ
ous performers on the tautented cow
hide sound like guitar thrummers at
a social for the deaf. Do it bigger,
and better, and louder than any oth
er resort has attempted. That will
get the crowds and hold them. Our
mineral waters justify it, the occa
sion demands it. Is the force forth
coming to accomplish it? Of course,
It takes something besides noise to
bring success. We have the some
thing, but the best on earth will not
attract unless people know of it. The
time is here for the bass drum.

be close unity. Consult freely on
these subjects which will largely de

the child. If your clfild is not doing
well In school it is your duty to see
the teacher and help her devise plans
which will remedy the evil. "Don't!
Dont!" pour your wrath on the teach

of the children. It only means that
your children will reap what you sow
for them. They will have no confi
dence in the teacher, cause trouble
in school, and lose all interest in
learning. If the evil exists in school
see the teacher and it will be made
right.
