It is on ly through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, ! that we move on to better things. —Theodore Roosevelt. Judge Colvig of Medford writes the Sun of that place that while he has heard his name mentioned in connec tion with the state senatorship, he does not care to seek the nomination, as he does not know that he would be acceptable to the voters of his party. Just another sample of that fact that good men, siutable for the holding of the best offices in the gift of the peo ple, do not care to appear conceited before their people, as the present pri rnnry law would make them seem to be.—Eugene Register. Very pretty and ladylike talk from a university town editor. The pen that would draw the figure of Bill Colvig as a molly-coddle and sissy does not know Bill. All his life Col vig has mixed with strenuous politics and public affairs and the appearance of being regarded as conceited is the last affliction the president of the Medford Commercial Club would be suspected of. That disease is not known in Medford, in the first place, and nobody could ever become presi dent of its club that was not r egard ed as immune from the “appearance” of being conceited “before their peo ple.” There are political reasons in Jackson county that makes Colvig hesitate to become a republican can didate and bashfulness and false modesty cuts no ice in the case. Neither does it anywhere else. The human being that would become a candidate before an old style con vention or an alleged “assembly” and would be afraid of entering a direct primary, is greatly afflicted with the fossilized ‘‘habit disease" and he might just as well get cured now as later. Er. A. K. lister of the bioo’ cal sur.ey of the department of agri.ul- ture is about to istue a bulletin deal ing with cats as carriers of diesase g rnm and urging the destruction of all stray cats or such as are not li censed to their owners. He points out that cats are known to carry in their fur the germs of such dread diseases as diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox, tuberculosis and ringworm, while they are quite as susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs. He charges that they kill over 3,000,000 song and game birds in New York state alone each year and asserts that only 5 per cent of the cats are mousers. BOWERMAN’S RECORD A POOR RECOMMENDATION. JUDGE LOWELL DESCRIBES BOW- ERMAN WANT Wallowa Sun.] What kind of a man does Oregon want for governor?. Thi3 question is fairly before the republicans of Ore gon. Each voter mu^t make his choic on September 24. No advice can be given or received on that day. Eut in the meantime everyone has the privilege to discuss the merits of the several candidates. And it i3 the du ty of every voter to inform himself. With this object in view-, we shall take pleacure in discussing the mer its of the various candidates and in vite comment from all persons inter ested. We shall gladly publi h ar ticles from any contributor, provided such articles are to the point and avoid personalities that are not sup ported by proof. Bowerman would doubtless make a good governor if he went to the of fice untrammeled. But he has alread; made a start that does not portend a progressive policy in .the governor’s chair. The part he is popularly sup posed to have taken in the destruc tion of the normal schools will not recommend him in Eastern and South em Oregon. The fact that he was in strumental in an effort to locate an insane asylum in Eastern Oregon might recommend him to the feeble minded, but to the thinking man the destruction of schools and the es tablishment of insane asylums is a poor recommendation for a man to start to the governor’s chair. A Student of the Old Machine Who Would Make a Rottener Ooe. Anti-Mcsquito and Fly Campaign be Enlarged. “It is not alone a question of as sembly and anti-as :embly, it is a ques tion of progression against retrogres sion. It is a question of whether the new order of things shall continue or the state shall go back to the old. I believe that the people of Oregon want to remain in the new era.” This is the way Judge Stephan A. Lowell views the political situation in the state at the present time. “In my belief the antiassembly forces should concentrate on Grant B. Dimmick for governor and put him in nomination,” continued Judge Low ell. “In my belief it is necessary for the retention of the new order of things political in Oregon to beat Jay Eowerman for the republican nomination for govemcr. It is not a question of men. It is a question of principle. Jay Bowerman is a per sonal friend of mine. I admire the man, but if he were to be put in the governor’s chair he would have a machine built before the end of his term that would put the old ma chine clear in the shade. Oroville, (Butte Co.), August 10.— At the coming session of the state ■ legislature it. will be asked that the state appropriate $200,000 to as sist the communities in eradicating the mosquito and the fly. The leg islation will be recommended by Pro fessor Henns, who has been organiz ing and carrying on the campaign against these pests. The plan is to have one-half of the expense borne by the state and the other half borne by the district to be benefitted. A number of those Interested in the campaign here will also interest themselves in legislation toward hav ing a law passed making it po3 ible for cities to levy an extra tax, the money to be in extermination of the fly and the mosquito. Bten Earios, who has been in charge of the field work in the anti mosquito campaign in this city, has been appointed to a chair in the Mc Kinley high school in Honolulu. He will go there about the first of the month. He will teach science. A FASHION THAT WILL WORRY JAY Eugene Guard.] Jay Bowerman, assembly candidate for governor, may well be worried ov er the fact that he is attorney for the Southern Pacific company in Oregon. The way the railroad machine has been ditched by the people in Califor nia and other states indicates that the fashion of electing representatives of corporations to public office is rapidly going out of date. The di rect primary has set new styles for the observance of aspiring politicians. ENDORSED A SCHOOL KILLER Yreka, (Cal.), Journal.] The Oregon republican assembly has endorsed Jay Bowerman for the nomination for governor. Jay was the narrow-minded legislator who persuaded the freak legislature of our unfortunate sister state to kill its state normal schools. Wouldn’t Jay stand a fat chance of election in California or any otheT state that appreciates w-ell trained school teach ers? No wonder the electors of that republican state put democrats in the gubernatorial chair and in the United States senate! NO NEGATIVE ARGUMENT Cottage Grove Leader.] The opposition to the creation of Nesmith county—meaning Eugene and Roseburg—filed no negative argument with the secretary of state. And yet it howls long and loud that the “vot ers of the state are without informa tion on the subject of county divis ion. ” Why did not the opposition en The “regulars” in the republican lighten them? Simply because it has party of New Yc-rk have solved the problem of what to do with our ex no argument against the proposition that will hold water. presidents. WILLIAMS VS.

Bowerman Machine Man. “Bowerman was raised in Marion county. He plays the game as he was taught to play it in Marion coun ty in the old days. He is a machine man, and to elect him would be to fasten the assembly on the state for a generation to come. It is necessary to beat him, therefore, in my opinion; and the only way to do it is to con centrate on Dimmick. “The spirit of insurgency is in the air,’ ’ continued Judge Lowell. “What has been shown us in Cali fornia, in Iowa, Kansas and the other states that have pointed the way during the past two weeks, is in the air in Oregon. This is an in surgent state. The people here want the new order of things. They want to escape from the old. And it is well for them to do so. “Therefore, I say that the issue here goes beyond the question of assembly or anti-assembly. It is the question of the insurgent against the regular, the new against the old. The assembly is trying to take us back to the old system. Those opposed to it are fighting that effort. “Out over the state the sentiment is strongly against the assembly, and I have been in close touch with dif ferent sections. The people of the state generally do not want to re trograde. They want to advance. Concentration Only Escape. “But the Bowerman strength is a certain and definite strength. It is lined up and will stay that way until the votes have been cast. To de feat this strength it will be neces sary to concentrate. A split vote means the nomination of Bowerman, and for that reason believing Mr. Dimmick to be the strongest of the candidates in the field against Bow erman, I urge that a concentrated ef fort be made to nominate him. “Up in my country they look on Dimick as a safe man who would make a safe governor. He is strong er there than the other candidates. I have been urged to become a candi date for the nomination for govern or. But I do not intend to get in to the race. I believe I would fur ther split the vote and make the nom ination of Bowerman certain. NOTICE OF FINAL HEARING In County Court, Jackson County, Oregon. Estate Enoch Wheeler, de ceased.
