FRIDAY, JI'LY 30, 1909.
WHY WAS I IF CRFATKO.
It la the men of Ideas who rule
the industrial world and build up
communities. It Ih the ideas of
these men that give prosperity to
states, counties nnd rifles, but there
Ih nnotlier class who are quite as Im
portant and these are (lie men who
discern flic ideas and know bow to
put them into use. There Is still an
other class who, are always to be
found working against the two men
tioned and these are Known In vul
gar parlance as Knockers. The force
and eneruy of this class Is by no
means to be despised. Theirs Is a
'negative force, f 1H true, bill they
have the power often to hlluht whole
communities. They are the stumbl
ing bloi'Ks mentioned in Milpliiro and ,
are always present when opportuuiu
offers for t hem to dei hire "i lie rail
road will never be built" or it will
go up another creek ami miss ns al
toK'lher. And nc.nlii. "the lirhta
tion dlleh will never amount to any
thing," "it ml that the city In which
they live will never be a place of any
Importance ns prbes are loo high
and buyers are driven away." One
would think that when they nee they
have been mistaken they would get
Into the band wagon and proclaim
the glory of the coming army of pro
gress which is doing the world's
work, but nothing of the kind. Beat
en in one point they soon find an
other place to block the wheels of
progress and ply their damnable
HVOcatlon. Will We ever get lid of
this class? They are like political
office holders; they seldom die and
never resign; and so we must lie con
lent and lie,tliankfnl that once in a
while one of the fraternity moves
away, or becomes convinced and Joins
the builders of emplve. God works
In wnyH that are wonderful and
cronies many animate things the
beauty or usefulness of which It Is
hard to discern, but of nil these none
are more puzzling to us than the
"knocker."
ALL YEAR AROUND SCHOOLS.
Chicago Is to have "all the yenr
around" hcIiooIs for those who desire
such opportunities. It Is reported
that 10,000 children are now attend
ing the summer schools of that city.
This Is a step of the behest Import
ance for those who have a desire to
complete their educational term In
less time than Is required under the
old system. The Idea has been that
the scholar's health demanded a
vacation of two or three months and
while this Is necessary n SIimll
percentage ,,f eases, It should not
apply to nil. This was evidently the
ay the Chicago board of education
looked at It nnd this accounts for
their action In cstahbilhlng the "all
be year around" si hools.

great

I'l H I' G M.ICi: BRIDGE.
I he nieiiihciw of the Grunts Pas
Commercial Club heartily endorse
THE TWO HORSE BRAND I
the Dronosltlon for the county to
build the Gallce bridge, as It will
assist In the development of the
mines which In turn will Increase the
assessed valuation of the district
half a million dollars annually for
many years to come. This will be a
good Investment for the county and
there should he no hesitation in un
dertaking the work. Good roads
and good bridges are valuable as
sets for county officials to show to
taxpayers.
MEDFORD'S IDLETALK.
For advertising purposes a story
has been started In Medford that
Southern Oregon favors secession
from the northern part of the state
and the creation of a new common
wealth out of Southern Oregon and
a strip of Northern California. The
reason given Is that the Willamette
Valley did by Its vote In the legisla
ture, Kill the normal school at Ash
land, and, after allowing Medford to
get through an appropriation for
the Crater Lake road, they permit a
Salem lawyer to block the appropri
ation. This Is primary school boy
talk and the originators of If can
make more money pumping thunder
at, thre" cents a (lap than they are
likely to make out of this. We hope
the name of the Rogue River valley,
which me.'iri't Grants Pass, is not
claimed by the seccessionlsts. Tills
valb y Is loyal to the whole state and
lis glorious traditions nnd if there
be any who feel that they do not like
to stav
with Oregon they have the
privilege of withdrawing themselves
from these parts. They will never be
missed.

SOCIAL EVENTS
.,,
The Amlta class of the Baptist
church and friends adjourned to the
Rogue River park Wednesday even
ing and wblled away the hours by
the riverside with games, boating
and ice cream and cake. Quite a
large number were present and Judg
ing from the sounds of mirth and
good cheer, the evening was without
doubt a most enjoyable one.
Miss Dessle Cole entetralned in
honor of Miss Stella Cane Wednesday
evening from 7 to 10 o'clock, the en
tertainment being in the form of a
picnic at the White Rocks. Twenty
four young people were present to
nartake of the generous hospitality
of Miss Cole and join In the merry
making. A sumptuous repast was
served and partaken of with keen rel-
sh after which the young people
gave themselves up to the enjoy
ment of the occasion, the only regret
being the near departure of Miss j
Kane for her home in California, !
she and her mother, Mrs. L. M. Kane, !
caving for San Francisco this Friday j
evening.
I
Mrs. Ceo. Riddle and Mrs. .1. II. !
Hathaway accompanied the members
of I heir Sunday s'hool classes on a ,
picnic excursion to the Riversi 1
park Tuesday evening. There were
about 11! of the young people in tit-1
tendance and everyone enjoyed th"
event, immensely. Supper was served
in the cool shade by the riverside,
and after engaging In Karnes and
other pastimes, they returned to
their homes at a seasonable hour.
A party consisting of between 1 2
and 14 people left tills city last Sun
day by carriages for Hugo to visit
Mr. and Mrs. Randolph and enjoy a
picnic In the shady woods adjoining
that village. The party departed
from Grants I'ass at fi::Si a. m., and
after enjoying the day at Hugo and
eating dinner in the woods, returned
to their homes ben.' about 11 p. rn.,
having thoroughly enjoyed the out
ing and wishing for many more just
like it In the near future.
A delightful little informal picnic
was given In honor of Miss Florence
Morris In the park across Rogue
river Saturday evening. There were
12 young ladles present and Mrs. C.
P. Bishop acted as chaperone, The
evening was pleasantly spent by the
girls in spite of the fact that the
sterner sex were conspicuous by their
absence. A dainty lunch was served
and the gasoline launch was pressed
Into service and Miss Morris will al
ways hnve a pleasant remembrance
of the event held In her honor on the
bunks of old Rogue.
Mrs. Brook's class of the Christian
church held a very pleasant little
picnic, near the White Rocks Thurs
day afternoon of last week. The
young folks were taken to the White
Rocks from the bridge In the gaso
line launch and .then wended their
way to a cool, shady nook on the
bank of the Rogue and pnrtook of
a sumptuous lunch, and after a Jolly
good time spent along the river, the
party returned to the launch and
were brought hack to the bridge,
where they departed for their sever
al hollies.

Wednesday afternoon and even
ing the members of the National Pro
tective Legion dispensed with busi
ness cares and went In body with
well-filled lunch baskets to the shady
grove on North Eighth street where
they gave themselves up to the de
lights of the outdoor sports t-a a man
ner not soon to be forgotten by those
participating. There were about 75
present and both young and old Join
ed In the sports with a zest which
left no doubt as to the genuine plea
sure derived. The ladles, however,
positively refused to take part In a
game of baseball against the "scrub
men's team" as they beat them so
badly the last time they played, they
were thoroughly disgusted and told
the gentlemen they would have to
work up a swifter team before they
J would again cross bats with them,
j In the evening the grounds were
beautifully illuminated with Chinese
lanterns and the good time continued
until late in the evening. When it
conies to entertaining, the National
Protective Legion gets a front seat
they are hard to heat.
