Lovelace, the present county . commissioner, was nominated for sheriff not because he wanted the office, but because the party wanted him for that place, as well as many republicans. The people generally think that the person elected to that office should All it and discharge the duties in person. The sheriff eloctcd should be the sheriff in fact, as well as In law. Mr. Lovelace la in everj sense qualified, being a man of educa tion and good business ability and untiring energy. As a commissioner he lias been of great benefit to the county. In building the Illinois river bridge he saved the county about the salary of the sheriff for a year. If elected, he will conduct the office for the salary whatever it may be. The present incumbent even since his salary lias been raised, has presented the county court bills for servloes, which can be ascertained by examin ing the records, In addition to his salary. This, Mr. Lovelace will not do. It is up to you, Mr. Voter, to decide whether you want efficiency and economy In that office or eitra pay In addition to the salary. How la Your Aasassmant? The most Important office to the tax payers of the county Is that of as sessor. This is an ollloe that Is generally marked on account of the lack of of moral oourage of its occu pants. The general rule is to lot the corporations off with an assessment of their own making and assess the man man who owns but a home at about half Its value. This is the result of the political influence of party bosses. The Oregon & California railroad has its land assessed at less thau a dollar an acre, but the man who enters a piece of timber land duds it aasessoil for twice as much. Why Is It thus? Every year we hear about what Is going to bo done, and that ends It. Jackson county assesses the railroad at $60uo a mile and Douglas the same. Why does not the assessor of this oouuty do likewise? Simmons A Cameroiis mining property le worth 'JM.OOO but Is assessed for less than f'-'O.OOO. The laboring man who onus a home worth II (XX) finds it assessed for about fioa If the poor man was axetised at the snmo proportion of the actual value that J. T. Logan has the Simmons & Cameron prorty assessed at, the home worth liono would be assessed at less thau ftO. II. 0. Per kins, tho democratic nominee for as sessor is a pioneer of this state and a civil enlgnner by profession. He has been engaged also In farming ami min ing. He has hart the eipnrleuce necessary to enable lilm to estimate the value of property and what is more necessary, the -moral courage and back boue to follow his owu judgmeut Joseph I ue oouuty today is by a ridiculously uueqnal assessment, shifting the burden of taxes upon the poor. The only corporations that art assessed upon the same valuatlou that the poor mail is, are the two banks of Grants Pass. Why should not the O. & C. railroad and other coriioratloiia bo assessed In the same Will l World's Iiikiwnwrv ilidii-.il Aum-iaium, IhifTtlo, K.

Judge Nell is a pioneer and citizen lawyer. Years ago when a yooog man, he served this district a number of years prosecuting attorney, and no one ever filled the office, with more industry than he did. Later In life he was oouuty judge of Jackson county for eight years and bis administration of that office was above criticism. Judge Neil is a man past middle age, and of perfect physical health, possess' iog a temperament, mental and phy sical, that raises him above partisan ship or prejudice. lie lias had a practice in all branches of the law aud which extended over all of South ern Oregon In the days before the rail road, and would bring to the bench a matured judgmeut and a long eiper ience at the bar. Judge Neil has never at any tini been attorney for any corporations, but lias been con tent to pereue li is profession In lines that did not bring Mm into contro versy with the just enforcement and administration of the laws of the land. He is a man of liberal views, but of the highest moral character. His life has been one of honest simplicity aud no one is imbued with mote Immune and generous impulses. Ho hasau ex traordinary capacity for work and a most conservative and sound judgment Admitted to bar when just past his majority, Judge Noil has grown up with jurisprudence of this state aud is thoroughly imbued with its spirit and letter. A fitting reward to his learning aud ability would be his oluctiou as circuit judgoand he would be a judge who would have the confl deuce of the whole people aud of every shade of belief and every station, and not alone of any faction or class, Prosecuting Attorney. The candidates for prosecuting at torney are A. E. Reames and Ooi Newbury. Mr. Reames is too well known to need any encomiums. His o poncnt is a beginner about six mouths exjierieoce as an attorney There is uo politics in the office. The only qnestlon is will the people ex change an able attorney like Mr. Reames for a beginner? This district has educated lawyers In the lst aud it was expensive. Will It again do so? Mr. .Reamer .has .been tried, his energy and ability have been proven, John T. Taylor. For six years Johu T. Taylor has been treasurer of this oouuty, and there has never been a more faithful aooountlng of the cuonty's funds than during that time. Not even a hlsper of- a suspicion of any act that would In any way savor of the leglect of any duty. There lias been uo use of county money even tem porarily in any business but that of the county and there never will be while he holds that office. Day In and day out, exoept when confined to his home by sickness, he has beou at his office to attend to his duties in a manner the law contemplates and with a faithfulness never before given to this office. At the special session of the legislature held iu December 11)08, his salary was raised from f 100 to fiVOO, This raise was deserved aud should have beeu made before, instead of some others. Mr. Taylor gives all his time to the office and will be fouud doing to for the next two yours. School Superintendent One of the best nominations made at the deniocratlo con von lion was that of Donuis II. Stovall for school superintendent. Mr. Stovall is a graduate of the Statu College of Cor- vallis and was a tutor in that uuiver- ity. Under the statu law the clerk aunot put his namo ou the ticket un less he furnishes evidence that he has taught in a public school nine mouths. This provision is clearlv in conflict ith the state constitution which provides that all elections shall be free aud equal and that the pcrsou receiving the highest number of votes hall be elected. The county clerk has refused lo fill the certificate iu order to test the law and a friendly proceeding has been begtiu for that purpose. Mr. llartlett aiding in very way lo secure a siwedy bearing. It will bo taken to the supreme oomt t once, with the hope ofgettiuga lecisiou iu time to get Mr. Stovall's name on the ticket If the decision is not received iu time, the voters will write his name on the ticket aud elect him beyond iieradvcnture of any doubt County Surveyor, II. L Reynolds uomitiated for aur- eyor is a competent civil cup inner, who is now city eiiglucer of Grants 'ana. He was appointed to that office by Mayor Gilkey and would uot hare been selected, had he uot been conipe- ii t and qualified for the peace. Mr. Reynolds is not only a surveyor, but con- s a competent engineer in the structiou of bridges and roads. BY THE WAYSIDE. The last republican lcitialature was the worst. The republicau legislature of made the Hah laws of 11)01 still harsh. r. Do you like them? Republicans freely admit thai the emocratio county ticket is the beat ever uained iu the couutr, aud many of them will vote it. The tlsli laws conoeruiug Rogue river are a prnacut from the renub- licaus who represented you iu the legislature sluce IWXX It Is time they should be r turned a vote of thauks or be presented with a gold watch vch. The last republicau legislature pass ed laws that caused Joawulilua ouuty's iharj of the state taxes for 1904 to be 111,003. when in 1 90S it was but 16,840. But then, yon must not kick. Vote her straight The boys most be kept at tbe pie counter if our state taxes go to $.73,000. Two years ago the republican orators in this country said "elect ns and we will put all t ,te officers on salaries aud save the people thousands of dollars." The people elected them and instead of a decrease of the cost of state government, they got an in crease of cost of county government Do you like It? Ani.ther gift the republicans repre sen ting this county In the legislature made to the people, is the increase of salaries. This was undoubtedly done for the purpose of offsetting tbe re duction of the fees of witnesses aud Jurors. Salaries mutt go up even if jurors shall be compelled to serve for nothing and board themselves. Will yon stand for it? Is it true that the worse some people are treated by their masters, the more they like them? Some honest aud respectable gentle men who were delegates to the re publican county convention from Williams precinct, brought with them a resolution concerning the Increase of salaries of county officers aud were promptly Invited to put the same In the stove. In time they will learn that there Is no longer freedom ol speech in a republican convention, but that everything goes by program aud the program is arranged by very few. The Oregon Ian is swearing that Oregon should give the g. o. p. 40,000 majority, because congress appropriated a large sum of money for the Portland Dounybrook fair. lx;t us not forget that the sum appropriated is but a "mere drop" compared with the millions taken from the ieople of this state by the protective tariff for the benefit of the g. o. p. magnates. Vat even if it was a gift, should a man seek to con trol another's opinions because he gives a dollar? Is that republican ism? It may be. It is not democracy. The next county clerk will be J. A. Slover. Immediately upon eleo- tiou be will make arrangements to conduct the office on modern lines and prepare to keep all records by tpyewritlug machines, and not leave future generations to worry over peculiar handwritings. He oan rend er most valuable service on the board of equalization and will, in that pnsi tion render better service than has ever been given, aud can be relied up on to act with justice aud courage aud not from political motives. He will uot have any extra bills for his services. J. T. Logan, republican caudldate for comity commissioner, was put on the ticket because the .boys thought his leg could be pulled for a campaign coutribtlnu of about IA00. Jim is making a campaign on the Issue that county court of this county gave $11, 000 to aid the Portland fair. II Jeems possessed oidinary information, ho would know that the amouut this county would pay was fixed by the last republicau legislature and the county court had not a woid to say. Here is something for James to think about The Simmnus Se Cameron property of which be is manager and part owner is worth MO, 000, and as sessed for 118,000. Question How does that compare for honesty with the assessment of his op i incut John Wells? P. S. How much can Jim get the Simmons A Cameron assessment re duced if elected? Soma Legislation Required. The people of Josephine county need some legislation iu their interests end behalf along these Hues: 1. Amendment of the prohibitory Ash laws that apply to Rouuii river. a. A law legulating railroad freight rates. 8. A law lequiring rul'road com panies to furnish cars to thipcrs. 4. A law prohibiting the erec tion of dunn where tho same will de stroy expensive public bridges. ft. A law providing for the Institu tion of a mining bureau for the de velopment of the mining interests to bo paid for by the corporation taxes imposed ujioti mining comiiaiiifs. 8. A law providing the public in formation of tne assessed values of proiierty. The jioople of Grants Pass need some legislation along these lines: I. Ameudment of the city charter to give the city the right to regulate water and light rates. S. A law prohibiting the taking up of fire hydrants without the city's consent, except upou IK) days notice. 8. Ameudment of tho charter so as to make it conform to the state laws concerning elections. Whom do you think can do most to bring about such legislation? A Startling Tut. To save a life, Dr. T. O. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a start ling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was at tacked with violent hfiiiorrhaitfs. auaed by ulceration of the stomach.
