Thuksday, Octobkb ii, 1900
Mr. Bryan ia Introducing a novelty in
argument when he declares, that tl.e
way to continue McKinley limes la to
defeat McKinley.
The people of any political parly, who
rejoice in the reverse of the troops of
the country they purport to support
re not to be trusted.
Several yeara ago the Mexican govern
ment made standing ofTur of $100,003
to the one who would discover a remedy
lor yellow fever. Tbia prize haa been
captured by a young Italian specialist,
Angel Bellimaghi, who haa brought
forward a remedy, the efficiency of,
which haa been proven.
l'rogresa and prosperity are the rule of
the hour. It ia folly to attempt to deny
this and greater folly to take any course
which would change the conditions
which allow ua to be prosperous and
progreaaive. The election of McKinley
nieana a continuance of the present
trend of allahs, while the election ol
llryan could not fail of upsetting the
conditions to' some extent at least,
necessitating readjustment and con
sequent impediment to prosperous ad
vancement. The universal business,
trade and commerce of the nation ia like
very intricate and delicate machine, to
which the least jar or friction ia destruc
tive. The vicepreaidentof the United States
should be a man who is capable of being
president if the succession should devolve
upon lilin. Theodore Koosevelt Is pre
eminently one of the foremost among
the able men of the nation, lie has not
acquired his eminence by chance or
stratagem but by solid ability and
merit. He la one of the most popular
of our public men and Ills popularity is
based upon tils official record, His
name haa become , synonym for
strength and integrity to an exttut
which baa been accorded to few men in
the national hiatory. The presidential
ticket ia ordinarily a one man affair,
with the vice-president nominee put in
merely to fill the space, but the ticket of
McKinley and Koosevelt ia a notable
exception to tills rule and the latter
bolda his place in the public' interest
equally with the former.
The average American, no matter
what his politics may be, is not likely to
enthuse over (he prospect of turning the
country into an empire." As there has
been nothing in the course of events to
indicate such an .outcome possible it is
amusing in the extreme to note the long
and highly colored articlea that appear
daily bearing on the empire question.
l'robably not one man in 500 believes
that we are tending in any way toward
such a destination, yet men will pursue
such atuir, look wise and predict calami'
ties that would make a timid person
quake iu hia boots. There is too much
of this thing going on for the good of
the country. The man who ia busy at
the work bench, the desk or any other
place has no time for such things, and
be never bothers his head with lurid
tales of awful things to come. He is the
good cititen; his country, his town and
his home jare hia pride, and he ia ever
found willing to put his shoulder to the
wheel and help push the world along.
Calamity wailing in times like the
present, while not very prevalent, is
still found In sufficient quantity to be
disgusting Kx.

Utter From W. J. Winter.
Editor Courier :
I thank yon for your ;frank answer in
your issue of the 27th to my questions.
I also lhank you for the compliment
you pay me and I can assure you of the
nterest I take in the welfare of the old
"Courier." I must aay. however,
brother Voorhiei, you and I differ very
materially in our views of the political
situation. Tbia ia proper enougli for I
believe diveisity of opinion and diver
sity of industry are all important to the
welfare of our country. To that end
then we must have two great political
parties to keep up proper interest in the
affaire of government. I understand by
your reply to my questions that if we
democrats wish to use the columns of
the CocniKii, wo must do so "with
reservationa and limitations" and our
articlea must "approach a curtain stand
ard of fairness, liboiality and tolerance"
even though your paper is indeiiendent
and we do sign our names to the articles
thus relieving you of responsibility;
granting your undisputed privilege of
attacking our opinions editorially.
Now we have a perfect understanding:
one consistent with what others have
told us who are supporting McKinley
and Koosevelt. Those who are putting
up the twenty five millions to secure
the election of Mr. McKinley tell us if
we vote for Mr. llryan and elect him
they will reduce our wagea, lock np
their faioney (which waa once our money
but alaa no mure) and make times hard ;
then close the mortgages on ua and
send our women and children into the
barren wilderness crying for bread.
Now, brother, you may think we are
dbuiayed, but we am not; we have
been held up by the festive road agent
and, for a fact words which under more
favorable circumstances would naturally
can be printed by a few persona in a
mall space in an eastern city; to mine
it, it would require thousands o' men
working in twelve states and territories
of this union. If the money ia printed
the people have it not ; if it is mined it
is theirs.
I believe, 8ir, that if Mr. McKinley
sccepts (25,000,0)0, or any other sum
of money of the trusts to secure his
election he will not be in a position to
do anything against them a'terward and
we may safely calculate the friendship
ia mutual, past experience proves this
to be true, I admit that the sale of
mules and horses, canned heel (which
we could not eat at home) together
with other army supplies, good crops,
increased output of gold and the coin
ing of over filly millions of atunuard
silver dollars have not only increased
our export trade hut have helped us on
the road to prosperity but, aside from
the coining of this silver I cannot trace
much of our prosperity to Mr. Mc
kinley's administration. X do give
him credit for coining as high as (1,103
377 in the mouth of March last and
:i,l '0,07U, in June of this year and over
$53, 0011,000 since he has been prubidont;
all standard silver dollars coined at the
ratio of 10 to 1 the profit to the govern
ment between t lie price paid for the
silver and the fifty thiee millions of
dollars called aeignoragu being over
$10,000,003. Has any one been able to
get one of these dollars for fifty cents?

Accident at Wolf Creek.
Tho town of Wolf Creek waa the
scene of a runaway in which Mr,
Atwood. a man about 00 yeara of age,
living about l'u miiea north of town,

small boy were driving a team north

road runs Parallel to the railroad the
horses became frightened at sn engine
standing on the track, which at that
place is a number ol feet higher than
the wagon road. The horses started to
run aud Atwood braced hlinsell and
held on to the team until the reins
broke and he was helpless. The horses
kept on sumo distance in their mad
career until tl ey collded with a tele

striking the pole squarely in the renter,
the horses going on either side. The

district's paitol the apportionment will
be ready hy next week.
In district So. 12 Mrs. U lyase, Wood
bury has 14 scholara enrolled. This
school has been in tension but five days.
The classes are well formed although
several pupils have not the proper books
for their grades. Mis. Woodbury's
methods are good and the school is
awake in its duties, and success is
assured.
In district No. 1), 20 scholars are
attending school under the manage
ment of W. C. Whitlock. This school
is in good working order and under the
instruction of Prof. Whitlock, a teacher
of 15 yeara experience iu leaching, the
scholars are sure to learn much, and a
good report Is expected from the school
at the end of the term.
School in district Ho. 10, is composed
of 16 girls and 15 boys, with Miss Daisy
Stites for their teacher. These girls and
boys know what they go to school for,
and every one is putting her or hia beet
efforts on the work in baud. The best
of order prevails throughout the whole
school. The people of Williams appro
ciate the good work being done by thoir
teacher, as is shown in keeping Miss
Stites for their teacher for a second
terra this year.
In district No. 28, Mrs. Belie
Iludeu has So pupils on roll. The
teacher and scholars are busy, Before
my visit I had good reports of the
progress and management of this school,
and upon visiting there, these reports
were continued. The patrons of die
trict No. 28, have their children under
the care and instruction ot an able
teacher and they should all catch the
inspiration to visit the school and
encourage the good work.
School iu district No. 8, at fro volt
has 30 scholars emolled. This school
though crowded into a small room,
with very hail, clumsy seats and desks,
is progressing nicely. Miss Maggie
Chiles is displaying great ekill in the
management of this school and the
scholars throughout are taking good
interest in their studies. With such
interest and under bo good an in
structor as Miss Chiles there scholars
will have a good report at the end of the
year.
have the report of but only one
teacher iu the school of that part of the
county which comprises the district
around Waldo, Kerhyville, Althouse,
Dryden and Selma, an I as far ss I know
there is but one school in session
throughout nil of that country. If there
are other schools in station iu the
districts which comprise that part of the
county, the teachers in them are not'
loing their duty.' Teachers must report
in compliance with Itule A LY 1 ol the
State Hoard of Education.
There are two joint districts in Jose
phine and Jackson counties. In these
the teacher keeps the record of the
scholars from each county separate and
at the end of the year will make out a
report to each county's superintendent.
The clerks of these districts keep the
records of each county's part separate,
but must send to each county's superin
tendent the whole enumeration of
hlldron of both his districts, ho group

F. J. Hard, secretary of the Oregon
Mining and Stock Exchange, of Portland,
waa a visitor in Grants Pass last Friday,
arriving from Denver, Colorado, on the
evening train, and going on to Portland
Saturday. Although it was not known
until late Thursday evening that Mr.
Hard would atop off at Grants Pasi, Mr.
J.O. Booth and K. C. Pentland went
over town and spoke to all the mining
men whom they saw, asking them to
meet Mr; Hard in the rarlor of the
First National bank. About 20 of our
representative mining men were there,
including W. II, Dana, of the Copper
Stain; F. ll. Osgood, of the Josephine;
Henry Phillips, of Preston Peak Copper

Mr, Hard explained Hie workings of
the stock exchange and Mr. 11. A Reed,
who has had experience on the San
Francisco exchange expressed himself
very Interestingly about mining as did
also Mr. Phillips and others. It seemed
to be the general opinion that if the
mines of Southern Oregon are to go on
the exchange they must be recommended
by citizens here an I be passed upon by
an expert.
Mr. Hard expressed himself as very
much pleased with the reception given
him and the evident interest taken in
mining matters.

Dr. Darrin has been so thoroughly
heralded by the pres9 of Southern
Oregon that there are none who
are not aware of his presence or con
vereant with the mauy hearty in
dorsements that come to him from every
section of Oregon. Many of these are
from well-known and prominent persons
persona whose word is unquestioned
by their friends and neighbors, whose
veracity is recognized far beyond the
community in which they live, and
whose endorsement carries with it more
than ordinary conviction ; yet even the
testimony of those of more than local
reputation fails to carry with it quite the
degree of conviction that is borne by
that of the testimonial produced by a
neighbor, relating to facts personally
known to the reader. Mr A. Pool, of
Kagle Point, a well known resident of
Jackson county of many years' standing,
submits over his signature what he
knows ol Dr. Damn's professional ability
