If there is anything that will bring prosperity to a oommnnity, it, is sorely the matter of good roads. The Department of Agrioultore is taking commendable part In an effort to give the people of this country bet ter roads. L. W. Page, Director of Pabllo Roads is preparing to In augurate aa extensive campaing of public education in the matter of bet ter roads. The Courier is making arrangements to co-operate with blm in this matter and from time to time will publish artioes sent out by the Department that will be of practical value in road building. It is hoped that all persons who are In anyways interested in good roads will take the matter tip and apply these articles in a practical effort at home. It la a self evident fart that Jospehlne County ueeds good roads in order to roach that stage of development that (inn reasonably be expeotej and we have everything bore that goes to make np the ingredients of a good road. All that it needs to make complete auori'KH is an intelligently directed effort. An arrangement will lie made whereby the Department will answer all questions ami problems that may arise in 'local conditions. Btatltsioa show that there are Two million, five hundred thousand miles of public rixiils in the I'nited titatett and Kigbty million dollars a year are spent on them. Now then Is no doubt but that an intelligent direction of the spending of this, money will produce greater results than ever beforo'sprnd iug of this money will produce greater results than ever before. Josephine County needs a campaign or good roads and these articles will be but the beginning of a movement that will have lasting and far reach ing results. Do your part in helping to carry this into effect. " Wires of smart men, should remind them, They can make their'livea secure, And, depailieg, leave behind them (Something tolid.'somethiug sure."

Samuel, General Mgr. A DEMONS RATION. In diplomatic parlance, a demon stration is the same as what the mall boy calls putting up a bluff. At the prnseut time the United States is preparing to make demonstration by sending the cream of her navy from Atlantic to the Pacific and as sembling in the harbor of San Fran cisco, the largest fleet of battleships ever gathered In' front of that oity. All this is for the purpose of putting up a bluff to Japan who, on account of a few broken windows and smashed soap plates has been acting the part of a sulky boy. Like many an Indivi dual, Japan baa lost her bead by rea son of her recent s access over the Russian Nation and is inclined to be overbearing and ready to take offense where none is Intended. Sudden friendships often turn oat this way and if any Nation has been the friend of Japan it is surely the United States. Everything is pointing the way to possible trouble. The Japa nese coolie is crowding in over onr borders in perfect horde. The Hawaiian Islands are practically overrun with them. Many of theses Hawaiian Japanese are old veterans from Port Arthur and Manchuria and at the first signal from home, they are ready to sieze the Hawaiian Islands. Gravest of all is the atti tude of Japan in regard to trade with China. The tendency now seems to lie for her to wish to grab'everything in sight and use ny method to crowd ont nor white competitors. Afterlthe attitude onr nation took with Rus sia, we cannot be expected to idly look on and see our Eastern markets slip out of our hands without making vigorous protest That is ons of the reasons fur assembling a large fleet in the Pacific' Ocean. To be prepared for any emergency. The diplomatic game is like a game of chess and the next move is up to Japan. The all interesting question is to what spot she will move. She has it in her power to cause the Yel low Journals of our land to com mence to run scare heads six inches wide across their front page but the probabilities are that she will do nothing for heavily burdened with debt and a discontented populace she Is ill fitted for another fierce struggle. JAIL THEM. A corporation has no soul; that is undispntable. Any one who has bought coal oil,gasoline,caoned beef or rode on the railroads is willing to tes tify to the troth of the statement bnt even if they do not have a soul tbey surely have a man behind the whole thing who takes the profits and he is the fellow that the American people are after. There has been too long a tendency to excuse the men behind the corporations and to claim that tbey are'not responsible aa individuals for the acts of the company that they represent but that day has gone by. The' American public has awakened to its rights and means to exert them in the future. Prof. Woodrow Wilson iu. a recent address has advocated this draitio treatment to some our of trust magnates and the suggestion has met with a surprising approval. Fining a trust mangate is not an adequate remedy. What does a man with au income up Aa the mil lions care for a few hundreds or even a few thousand dollars but when it oomes to a term in the? penitentiary, the individual no matter how rich, may well pause and hesitate. Thus we bave a remedy right at hand if we will only get the habit and have the sand to stand np for our lights. Tbe (proper control of corporations is without a doubt a great public prob lem bnt it is plainly apparent that all of our past methods have been far too slow and that they bae been as piaer weos under a lion's paw. The remedy has got to equal tbe di sease and severe diseases require severe remedies. A trost magnate in jail along side of some of onr timber and municipal grafters will be one of tbe most satisfying sights that has been witnessed in along time. May the day hasten when it will come true and so we say with Woodiow Wilson "jail them" whenever they violate the law! x Tbe vacation bng is abroad and a bite in time will save a large doctor's bill later.

Pa" PV Fe-.t Game-A. A. C. Win. the Pennant. The ball game last Sunday at Med ford betwaen the Local A. A. C and Medford teams was undoubtedly the fastest game ever played in Southern Oregon as it took the Medford team, with their imported professional bat tery and a few otheis, just 14 innings of good, hard playing to defeat the bunch of "kids" from Grants Pass, with the score of 2 to 1. And then they didn't earn a single ron as tbe two they made were both on errors. Pernoll made the one run for Grants Pass and the only earned run of the game, in the seventh, and he did it all alone too by putting one over the left field fence. Medford made their first run in the 3d when the first base man let one go through and Pernoll's run in the seventh tied the score and from that time till the 14th, there was nothing doing for eitheV side. It heoan to look like a tie game as they were going to call it off after the 14th on account of the electric storm which was coming up, bnt in the last m FOR CHILDREN Levi Strauss & Co.

This was what one might call a pitchers' battle, as Pernoll ttrack oat 23 men and allowed only ' two hits, while Cooper, who two yean ago was pitch ing for Oakland in the Pacifio Coast League, struck out 19 and allowed 8 hits, five of which were made by Pernoll " The regular meeting of tbe "Y" was held July 10 on the banks of Rogue River at White Rocks. It was something out of the ordinary, being a moonlight picnio (minus the moon). At 7 o'clock the young people were all there and tbe lunch was spread. It certainly was a credit to the girls. After supper the party built a bonfire and sat on the river bank. Mr. Cor nell giving them some practical bints 6o matrimony, which were greatly appreciated. The next meeting of the "Y" in Aogost,.will probably be something similar, ' so all young people plan to come. '. ERROL GILKEY, Press Reporter pro tem. before that time. W. a FLANAGAN. Administrator.

The city of Grants Pass has a park but how many of ns realize, the fae. IH-ated on the South bank of Rogue Kivirand at tbe foot of the Sixth street bridge, it has jau'idcal location. There are some magmllcent oaks on the grounds ami the natural tree growth will no doubt prrve more at tractive to the general puMic I linn the artificial. With ita own water plant in operation, the lawn is getting in good condition and the green clover will prove a great relief to tbe eves after gazing ou the brown ilnst of the streets. One thing that is great'y needed to add the comfort and enjoy ment of tbe public is to have some benches placed along the rier bank I where ouecau sit and watch the river ruu by. There is nothing more attrac tive to the average humau beiug than running water and it has a sur prising fascination to most of minds. Like everything else in the world, the Park shold be used in order to fulfill its tuisaiou and it is most enjoyable on inese summer evenings after the heat of the day wheu a cool breei blows op tbe river.
