Bryan and other democrats are constantly trying to make ont that Roosefelt la dictating to Taft how be shall ran the campaign and expressing the fear that Ishould Taft be elected Roosevelt will control him. Booh ar gument is not only foolish, but ab surd. If there Is any man upon whom Roosevelt has leaned for advice dur ing the years he has been in the whitehoHe, that man is Taft, and those who have kept watch of affairs, know that in every matter of Im portance, President Roosevelt has consulted him. W. Bourke Cockran, the great democratic orator, sized op Bryan and Taft last week in Boston interview when he aid: "Yes, I shall support Bryan, be is the best candidate the democrats could put np. Taft, however, is the greatest and best qualified nominee ever offered in any republlo in the world. He is a greater man thon Roosevelt, and when sorronnded by the same environments that made Roosevelt great, will prove a bigger man. Taft is a wonderful adminis trator, the greatest the country has ever seen and is a wonderful worker." If Bryan was serioos in bis chal lenge to Roosevelt to make good bis charges against Hasoell, treasurer of the democratic national committee, be Is probably more serious now in bis regrets for Teddy sure made good and Haskell went away baok and sat down.

A.ldtess Box t'31, , (irau l ax. re. We have just received another carload of AMERICAN FEIMCF American Rabbit and Stock Fence is the best fence made for the use of the FkUIT GROWER and FARMER. Why ? Because it is made of hard, stiff, Steel Wire that is thoroughly galvanized and will stand all kinds of weather without rusting. It is made especially for the nee'ls of the fruit growers of Southern Oregon. It has no solid joints, every joint being a hinge which allows the fence to conform to rough or irregular grou d and prevents an extra strain from stretching the wires. Each lateral wire has two tension curves to the foot, which rerve as springs to control the expansion and contraction. It weigh more per rod than other fences and costs less than other fences of same weight. AH American Fence is sold direct to the retailer from the factory, which cuts out the middle man's profit, thus enabling the retailer to give the consumer a better fence for his money than in makes handled through jobbers.
