Under the heading "Too Much Watchdog, " the Morning Astorian of recent date print an editorial in which it take subtle fling at the tate grange and plead for tbe support of two deserving appropriation for tli pnblio good. The measure re ferred to lu the editorial are the Ar mory bill and the university appro priation bill. "It i all very well to be careful of tbe public fundi in tin day of ex travagance aud public graft," aaj tbe Astorlan, "but legitimate end mast be served with a liability that at luait will not cripple new unary func tion of the oominon good, or dis parage theoi at the crucial moment of their hi ghaut facility for the poblio servioe. "Both of tb limitation to be ben efitted, the national gnard and Jtlie atate university are valuable and oeoe'sary agencies of tbe itate'i en tonrage, " the Aitorioa continues. They'are indlapensible to it growth, culture and protection. Both are necessary feature of every state government aud all through the land, th stain have seen fit to endow them more liberally than has Oregon. Watchdog, have been known to overdo the thing tiins and again to th otter negation of the real good and we feel that tbe Oregon grange is working its stunt in these two cases to a degree that will leave tbe state of Oregon cheapened and dis credited if it is to have its way in these two appropriation. "Oregon grow apace," tbe Aitorlan oouulude. Her people, and her amplified future demand more of her than in tbe early days when essentials were fewer. On these especial lines she mmt range along with the states of ber class aud do her beat and full duty by her tons and daughters as well as by the country at la'ge. It will not do to itop at tbe dollar mark every time it is hoisted aloft by some narrow, prejudioe or chill conserva tism." NR. CAKE ENDORSES ROOSEVELT'S POLICY Hon. H. M. Cake, Bepobliran, can didate for United States seuator, de livered an address at the county court bouse in this city hint uiKbt.and thui formally opened tbe campaign lu Josephine county. Joseph Moss pre sided and Attorney Ilongb introduced Mr. Cuke a the net United States senator from Oregon Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the fact that Mr. Cuke's date hero had not heeu previously advertsrd, he was not greeted by a large audience. Mr. Cuke said that while the cam paign preceding tie June election Was oil the people did not seem to Ihi fully aroused as to its Importance. Keferring to thn remit of the priuiaiy election lie said that his relations be tween he and his oppoueut Senator Fulton, had always been iuot cordial and that he regarded Senator Kiilton as one of the grtt men of the state. Mr. Cake said that he believed in pnity fealty and that he hn.l no u-r for tbe Kepiibilcan who would go ont and knife the ticket. Mr. fake then spoke of the relative merits of tlu Republican anil IVmo critio parties. lie contrasted In n brii'f epitome the achievements of eiicli from the existence of the Republican thousands of workers Levi Strauss Cos rteaSdSV1 Overalls mlfrd party in '54 to the present adminis tration, declaring that tbe Bepoblican party had at all times been equal to whatever economic problems aioae. He said that the principles and policies of tbe party bad been correct, though the party bad been in power from '66 cootinooly to tbe present with the exception of the Cleveland ad ministration. Senator Cake said that while President Roosevelt and his well known principles were not accept able to the machine leaders and to cor porate influences of the party when he was Brit elected, yet, the senator de clared, sod with great emphasis, that the policies of Rooevelt snd tbe present Bepoblican administration were correct and must be suitaioed. He said that ths Bepolican party bad ever stood for prorges and prosper! ty. He commended the forest reierve policy of Pres dent Roosevelt snd said that the state of Oregon endorsed the policy. Realtive to Mr. Roosevelt's attidnde toward the railroad and other large corporate institutions of ths country, Mr. Cake declared that President Rooievelt and tbe present administration as none other, had com pelled the trust orowd to reoognze tb oommon rights of the people, notwitb standng that at the time of Mr. Roose velt's nomination tbe railroads and all the Wall street combination were solid ly against him. H said ths dne of the Standard Oil people and the local iuvestagtion of methods of ths various traits as urged and demanded by the president had made the trust crowd sit no aud take notice, and that the money people bad been made to realize th power of the president. Mr. Cake alio called attention to tli matter of good citizenship as exemplified in President Roosevelt s public life, and the marked raise In the standardof citizenship and greater purity in public life which has result ed from tbe polioles and demands of the Roosevelt administration. The advancement in these directions, as well as in the matter of commercial and industrial 'achievement by the United States within tbe past fe years. Mr. Cake deolared, bad been greater tban the progress of any other nation. Tb speaker closed bis review of tbe achievements of the Republican party and the present adminlitraion by strongly urging that the party and the policies of Roosevelt and the presnet aduiinisratlon should be. imtalned.also emphasizing the necessity of standing by tbe ticket regardless of personal regard or feeling. Mr. Cakcfthe referred briefly to the history of the Desaooratlo party, be ginning with Cleveland's election in IHVi aud noting with semeiarcann tbe Democratic contention for a tariff for revenue only. He said that ths period of slagnatiou and hard times following Democratic ascendancy and to 18U6 was ths most depressing in the history of the couutry. While he did not at tribute all this depression to tbs Dem ocratic party he maintained it as a fact. that the depression during that time was tbe worst the country ever knew. He referred to the Democratic) mone tary theory of tbe free coinage of sil ver at a ratio of IS to 1 as advocated by Bryan lu IStHI and in liK,as the gnat- est and most rediculous fullary ever suggested. Bryau's talk about im perialism In the campaign of 1004 be regarded as equally fallacious. He declared that the Democratic party had not in twenty year advocated a policy which had appealed to the pcopln and iu view of this fact and iu recognition of the hard tunes which prevailed under the last Democratic administration Mr. Cuke said he could uot conceive how the people should wish to trade the Republican ailniin istrutimi and pesent prosperous court i ions for another Democratic regime. lie said that the endorsement of the Republican parly and the present ad ministration meant a continuation of prosperity, protection and success, while a change to Democracy would nuj.Mjiii in sopnmirv mi l taiiure Me urged that every Kepiiblictu aland by the tii ki t from top to bottom.

Ths home boys bad been led to be lieve that the aggregation from ;the north would show them an unusually good time, but when the game olosed the decoration of the score sneot indi cated 1 to in fsvor of Grants Pais. Roeeburg scored twice and Grants Pass Ave timet in the first inning, bot tbe viiitors stoppded crossing tbe home plate after making their third and last soore In fie third. The home boys, however, scored once each in the sec ond and sixth inniogs and 2 in tbs eghth. Of course the first inning was any thing rather tban what would be term ed; good ball but later tbe quality im proved and there was good work cn both sides. Nearly everything that wentioto the field while ths home boys were out there was ss if it bad been thrown in to. a basket there was a Jobny on every spot while tbe Rose- burgers were correspondingly poor in the field. But Harry Smith, the left fielder for th home nine, made a splendid record in tbe batting line. He stood with the timber over the home plata four times and smote the sphere vigor- ously each time. Capt. Setzer also made a splendid three-bag hit bat lost out in an effort to make a borne run.
