"TOO MUCH WATCH DOO."
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

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

GRANTS PASS WINS
FROM ROSEBURG TEAM
The local base ball diamond was
warmed np in good shape last Sunday
by an exciting game between tbe Rose
ourg nine and.the Grants Pass team.
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.
