The rose (rovers and deroteea ot Graata Pass are this week to deter mine which one of the many score ot beautiful roses shall be selected aa the official rose of Grants Pass. The committee la charge points out the considerations that should enter Into the selection, such as adaptability to . climatic and other conditions, and also that the town should not conflict with other eommniunlties that hate already announced their choice, no tably Portland, which claim the "Madame Caroline Testout," and Medford, which has prior right to the "Hugh Sieklafoa. , w . - !it la the selection of the official rose, the committee has offered a number of suggestions that will aid the cltl tens in making their choice. The attention ot the voters Is especially called to the beautiful "Florence Pemberton," the rose that oe . copies the round central bed la the rose garden In the park opposite the First National &aak building. This rose has many local adherents. For those who desire a brilliant pink rose, the "La Detroit" to suggested. This to the rose that forms the center line In a bed of pink roses next to the tank building la the park aboTe mentioned. The outer lines ot roses In this bed are the "Madame Caro line,", parent of the "La Detroit. H This has proved Itself well adapted to our ellmate, glTing a profusion of gorgeous bloom of almost the same hade as the "Madame Caroline" but more double and more lasting. ' Of red roses, the rose enthusiasts rec ommend the "General McArthur" for this locality. This rose Is brilliant of coloring and sweet of perfume. It to noted that none of the yellow roses hare been found that give the best of satisfaction here or that Is of suffi cient hardiness to recommend itself as the official rose. . . Before the close of the session of Chautauqua in Grants Pass last week enough signers to the guarantee were obtained to assure the coming of the Chautauqua next season. The attendance this year was consider ably larger than last, and it is ex pected that the patronage will con tinue to increase, though on some of the attractions the large tent was filled to capacity this season. Some of the entertainments presented were of a high order, though others were mediocre. Despite the rather gloomy outlook earlier in the season for the grape crop in the Rogue valley, it is now anticipated that the yield will be most satisfactory in many of the vineyards. The California crop was practically wiped out by the early frosjs, but tbe Rogue vineyards were not suffi ciently advanced to meet such sweep ing damage. The vines have since come out In good shape, and the crop promises well, especially In view of the markets that will be opened be cause of the loss of' the entire crop In California.

One thine doao at the Sunday con ference, it waa loaned, was to check off the probable democratic platform against tbe platform adopted by the progressives last week. The demo cratic platform, It was agreed, would meet the progreaalTes' expressed de sire on the following points: ; . Universal military, training. Regulation of , industry and Just distribution of Its returns, .-i .. M Re-establishment ot aa American merchant marlse. ; , , ,. ;0 st National highway development. A permanent, tariff commission. , . Removal of artificial causes ot the high cost of living. ;., ;n h '- A ; Prevention .of the exploitation ot men, women and children tn Industry by extension of the workmen's com pensation law and a thorough-going child labor law. Protection of the wage-earner. A properly regulated system of rural credits to encourage the land less man and give him a chance to acquire land. Stumbling-blocks in any get- together program, all democrats agreed, would include the following moose planks: Protective tariff. Woman's suffrage. Mexican policy. Subjects that offer debatable ground, the democrats (eel, include: Americanism. A navy "second" among those of the world. Conservation.. - , . , . .. The planks named cover the whole progressive platform There is no chance of conciliating differences over the protective tariff, democratic leaders agreed, but some believe the permanent tariff commis sion is regarded as of more import ance by many moosers, and on this tbe party platforms are the same. The proposal today found favor not only with the more radical democratic leaders, who might be ex pected to urge modification of tbe platform to meet the progressives' views, but with some old line leaders. "They should be Invited, by all means," said Roger Sullivan. Tom Taggart was less inclined to put the matter through at once. He suggested that the 'platform Itself should first be adopted and then the progressive leaders -asked to come to St. Louis. "Perhaps our views will meet theirs," he said. Taggart worked definitely among other leaders for a time today to fore stall what he feared might be a pre cipitate action In the matter. In the light of the fact that the Mexican situation is still undeter mined, several of the plotters believe the progressives would not make that Be prepared with Maximum 'Red Inner Tubes for your car CLEMENS Selk Drags Th9 QXaSJL Store a vital issue. As tor suffrage, they think progressives would not hold out over that, especially since the repub lican promise Is Identical with the democratic uiwtauv f 5 ' , , , i. Gilford Plnohot's vigorous repudl-,ed ation ot Roosevelt's suggestion ot Senator Lodge as a compromise can didate has caused some ot the demo crats to. believe he. -would not hold out because ot hU conservation ideas.

" The democratic platform, they think,. may appeal to many progrei stves as a way ot taking ap their social justice propaganda again. New York, June 12. "Will Frank Hitchcock be chairman of the nation al . committee T" Charles Evans Hughes waa asked today by a United Press reporter. "I can not say anything on that just now," replied tbe candidate with a smile. "Will you see Colonel Roosevelt?" "I can't say anything on that either," Hughes said. He was in high good humor and evidently Is overjoyed at his return to active .politics in tbe role ot re publican presidential nominee.' He wore a gray business suit, appearing well groomed. His beard Is gray and sparse, it is not nearly so tnicK ana heavy as It Is shown In pictures not taken recently. There is still the distinct part down the center of the chin and a slight tendency toward curling at the edges, but It is not nearly such a predom inant factor in bis appearance as it wss in the old days. It might be said to be only slightly reminiscent ot the heavy black brush thst became famous in the days ot the Insurance Investigation. "My plans for the immediate fu ture are rather uncertain. Perhaps I shall stay here in New York for a tew days. You know I live in New York," said Hughes. , . "Then your sudden trip overnight from Washington was something like coming home?" . "Yes, it was coming back home," he replied. "It seems natural to be here and to see so many of my friends." "Can you tell us what the thrills are like when a man is drafted by a great party as its candidate for the biggest job on earth?" asked the United Press reporter. "I can only say that there are cer tain circumstances under which a matter ot duty is extremely 'clear and leaves no grounds for hesitancy,' " replied Hughes. "There Is no question In this situ ation as to what I should do and in my announcement to the country 1 endeavored to make my attitude clear. I have not received the formal notification of the nomination and I do not know yet Just when It will be made." Half a dozen camera men asked Hughes to pose at the Astor hotel to day and he readily agreed. They took about a dozen snaps each and then be said: "Haven't you got enough, boys?" "Not yet, Judge; Just one more now," replied a photographer, "Please give us another smile." The request wss unnecessary, as Hughes was all smiles today. He posed again and then walked briskly back to his rooms, waving to'lhe newspaper men. Henry W. Taft, brother of tbe 'former, president,. Vat one of the ear- Verier at, the Hughes, suits today.

Hughes opened his campaign with a rush today with a trip to New York for conference with party leaders. Hughes arrived at 7 a. m and went directly to the Hotel Astor, where he displayed true campaign form by sondtng word he would see newspaper men at ones. j With his secretary, Lawrence H. Green, the nominee slipped out ot Washington shortly after midnight so quietly that only a few persons la the station noted his departure. At his suite at the Hotel Astor It was said his plans for the visit hers wars not complete. It was understood be probably would confer with former Attorney General Wlckersham. The New Tork police department had been tipped regarding Hughes' visit and fifty detectives were assign- I ' ' ' ' ' - " to guard the candidate on his ar- rival at the Twenty -toira -street sta- tlon and on the drive to his hotel. Reports that Hughes and .Roosevelt would meet and that the colonel will give full support to the republican candidate, were discussed In news of the candidate's visit . , k ;'-;, "I came to New Tork primarily to make arrang entente for ths summer," Hughes told reporters who met him on ths terry. "Of course other mat ters will engage my attention." . "Will you aee Roosevelt ." ha waa asked. , .. ,. , ' -,i 'I have nothing to say about poli tics," Hughes replied. Hughes snd his secretary made the trio from Washington - In lower berths, traveling as sny private cltl sen might, and ths candidate waa un recognised by passengers, Ths colored porter who recognised his star passenger grinned broadly and kept his discovery discreetly to himself. , i . At the station Hughes picked up his bag, and with an umbrella crook ed over his arm, made his way through to the ferry. On the boat his presence was made known when movie men rushed up and requested him to be a willing victim. He show ed that he was by mounting to ths upper deck, where the light waa good and moving about as the picture men directed. . .. . William R. Wilcox, former chair man of the public service board, Join ed Hughes at the station and made the trip to the hotel with him. Travis Whitney, member of the public service commission, a close friend of Hughes when - the latter was governor of New York, talked wlt,h the candidate for some time In the hotel suite. . i , i -i. i r i " III XL MOOHK LEADER ' . . AXNOt NCKB FOU I11UHK8 St. Louis, June 12. Henry Allen, chief moderator at the bull moose convention in Chicago, today declared for Hughes, and said he expected .the progressives In the northern and cen tral states to follow suit. "I think the hour too Important for any man to worry about the name of the party he Is going to belong to," said Allen. "If Roosevelt accepts the splendid statement of Mr. Hughes as meeting the conditions be laid down to the progressives, a majority of tbe progressives in tbe northern and cen tral states will support Hughes. As far as I am personally considered, it Roosevelt declines the nomination, I will support Hughes rather than fol low some weaker leader In the pro gressiva party." Allen said be believed Roosevelt would take an active part In the Hughes campaign. The thing for the progressives to do now, he said, is for . ths progressives to . nominate Hughes and iParker. This would keep the party alive snd give many pro gressives who did not Intend to af filiate with the democratic party or go back to the republican party a place to light. Portland, June 12.

If the allies now again hold back In ths west and allow Germany and Austria to meet the new Slavonic offensive unhampered there can be no expectation of a great military vic tory against the two central powers. The persistence of Russia's new successes must come as a grateful surprise to England and Prance. Nevertheless. It might be profitable for the western powers to wait fof a brief Interval to determine whether the Russians have shot away all their ammunition In the first days of ad vance. But it it becomes evident thst the Slavs have plenty of supplies for a sustained offensive, then It would be a gigantic 'blunder for Russia's western allies to remain Idle In their trenches, unless the governments of Prance and England have concluded that the German defense can not be overcome.
