TAN OXFORDS
The phenomenal and sudden demand for
Tan Oxfords which has sprung up so sud

many manufacturers unprepared to servo
their customers. This demand does not ex

GOOD ROADS.
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.

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!

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

of the inning, after two men were preBent their objection thereto, on

Grant Pass made another error,
which let in the run that won the
game for Medford. 1
This is tbe lat game of the season
for Grants Pass and, although losing
this gaine, they get the pennant,
thereby retaining the championship
for the second successive year. 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

THE PARK.
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. If you hare a
