BETTER COUNTRY ROAD.- NEED ED. W. S. Smallwood, In u well written article printed in the Rural Oregon lnn on the mibjoct of transportation and Its relation to the fanner, Kays some good things in regard to the country road. We quote as follows: "It In unquestionably true that the average farmer does not appreciate tbe additional expense, Incurred In the handling of bis cropH on account of poor wagon roads, to nay nothing of shrinkage In weight and value. If a regular charge were made for the une of our wagon roads, It would not be long until every road throughout the gfate of Oregon would he put In first-class condition, and still thous ands of dollars are expended In a lavish and wasteful manner upon the county roads throughout this Htate by overseers that do not understand modern road building and who are Interested solely In the Improvement of the roads close to the county seat or principal towns. "There Is no greater dlsorlmina tlon In this country than that which Is practiced in the building of county ronds. If the farmers expect to get the quickest and largest returns, they should first Improve the roads leading from their farms to the rail road or local market, and second, should familiarize themselves with the cost of transportation to the largest markets, and third, should establish in these markets their own representatives for the marketing or disposition of their products. This ran bo done only through the co-operative method." The people of Josephine county will Indorse what the above writer says for they have wasted In bygone years a large amount of money In road work, but during the past two years there has been a reform to a large extent In the methods of road construction. The people have elect ed commissioners of experience and the county court has (eased to em ploy men who do not understand the work. There was a time when the rosd work was given to the political striker who did the best service In the campaign, but that has been largely given up, ROOSEVELT SAYS NO PARTY FU SION. Colonel oosoclt says there will be no party fusion with the republi cans or with any other political or ganization. He says tbe progres sives will remain Intact and nomin ate their own candidates In the fu ture. The colonel may be right but the voters are dispose,! to do as they please, and besides that. It Is hard to say what four ears hem e may bring forth. There Is one thing the colonel mentions which should he understood, lie does not pretend to be the leader, but asserts that lie is in the tanks as a man He says that he hopes to make it plain to the people that It Is up to the old parties to combine against the progressives, ns the new organization will sweep the field and tbnt its principles will be the foundation of a great political force. "THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE WAVE.' The Globe Democrat of the 22ud Inst, h.is an interesting editorial on woman suffrage which wt take pleas ure In repiodming as Ir Is Piled with Information which th, people gen erally can understand Here is the article In question: "With an outpost t.ir to the e;.st of the Mihslssipj, in Mi'-higan, tne teiritory which las eiul suffrage now extends from Missouri's western hi undary to the 'aifi overs all the states west of the Rocky Moun tains, and stretches from the Can adian border to tbe Gulf of Califor nia. The states Wyoming. C lo rado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and California, to give them In th" order In which they adopted it- -whiMi had full ruff rage for women ;!! vice to 1912, -.v.'re re-enforc;J h-, Mi l.k.ir. I :isas. Arizona and ' er'or. as a re sult of the recent election. Thus in ten sta'os women now vote for all officials up to and Including presi dents on the same terms as men. "And the suffrage wave appears to have only started. At their next elections North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska and Texas will vote upon the question, with the prospect, ac cording to obseners on the ground, that It will carry at. least three of those states, and probably all four. The question of submitting a suf frage proposition to the people of their respective states will come be fore the legislatures of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and other states this win ter, and will undoubtedly carry in many of them. Under the recently adopted Initiative and referendum It is to come before the people of Ohio at the earliest moment In which this is possible under the law. which means 1914. "The ten states which have equal suffrage now have seventy electoral votes. From present indications more than half a dozen states will be added to the roll by 1916. A momen tum has been gained by the suffrage movement which promises to sweep over several states east of the Mis sissippi within the next two or three years. The accessions of four states to the roll In 1912 was unexampled. Wyoming, the pioneer suffrnge com munity, had it twenty-four years be fore Colorado, the next on the list, ndopted It. It came to Utah and Ida ho three years later, or In 1S96. Washington obtained it in 1910 and California in 1911. Of the five states which voted on the proposition In 1912, Wisconsin was the only one in which it wns defeated. Defeat there cnuses surprise, for Senator LaFol lette, the most Influential man In the stnte, has been urging It for several years." A Berlin newspaper quotes In its regular market column, dog meat at 10 cents a pound. Here Is an oppor tunity for some enterprising Ameri can to make a fortune by shipping dog meat to those Rerlln people. Grants Pass has a few hundred ca nines which it will sell cheap. MANAGING MAD ROYS. Many good people- claim that Grants l'ass has a large number of what they style "had bos," hut as bail boys are the product of every town, cliy and country, it can hard ly 1.,- truthfully said that our little city tins more than its share. A few had hoys, It must be remembered, make a big showing in the town and It may be that they nee,) looking af ter very closely. It would not do any particular good to put all the bad boys in jail. We must have method In dealing with their delin quency and employ the proper m"ans to correct their misbehavior. If they are allowed to go on unchecked their had habits will ultimately grow into criminal traits. The time to check them Is before they become too deep ly rooted. It Is better to correct the delinquency of the hoy than to lat er punish the rrlmlnalt'y of the man. Grants Paxs hoys will come out alright If they are properly treated, but parents should not leave their whole management to the school teacher, but see to their conduct themselves.

When 1 di vorced and I did not neej to be told, for I have always possessed a remarkable intuition that Dr. Wentworth and Alice loved one an other, I made up my mind that the only fair and Christian thing for me to do was to secure a divorce."

A remarkable theft of $5U,noi) in gold coin from a shipment of $1,01111,000 disappeared from the Hank of England to the ot ficea of the Credit Lyonnaise at Alexandria, is bewildering the police of England, Egypt and the continent. The crime is believed to be the wank of a gang of interna tional thieves to whom Information of the intended shipment leaked out. The cleverness of the theft is reeal ed in the fact that although 12 days have elapsed since the discovery of the theft it is yet not known at what point on the trip the gol.l was stol en. The most unusual feature of the affair is that when the cases contain ing the gold were opened In Alexan dria, the heavy seals put on In Lon don were apparently intact. The specie was dispatched from the Rank of England on Nov. 12. It was packed in bags, $5,000 to the bag which were placed in cases and sealed. Its removal was superintend ed by three representatives of the Credit Lyonnaise. The cases were hauled to the dock in a van and placed In charge of officers of the steamer Schwalbe and placed In the room of the ship to which there were two keys, one to the outer and one to the inner door. The captain had one key and the first officer the other, so that neither could enter the room without the other. At Brenen the specie was taken ashore in a specially chartered tug in order to catch a train. At Trieste it was tak en aboard the ship Heionan and It was on the arrival of the ship at Alexandria that the theft was dis covered. All the cases had been packed tight with the bags In Lon don. When weighed at Alexandria the weight was correct and the seals seemed intact but it was dis covered that the contents of two of the boxes were loose. On opening them It was discovered that 10 bays were missing and that bars of lead had been substituted. It is believed that the substitution took place on the train between Bremen and Trieste.

A school meeting was held at the Missouri Flat school house Saturday, the subject to be voted was whether tiiey were to build a new school house or not. The vote stood 23 to (i in favor of using the old one a while longer. I agree with the other Murphy cor respondent in regard to other places sending news in to the Courier, as 1 always like to hear from our sister communities in regard to what they are all doing as it adds to the boost ing of the place greatly. Your correspondent had occasion to drive through Fruitdale one day last week and is glad to note that the place has improved more in the last 10 years than he was aware of. The hills which were at that time covered with timber are now set out to orchards and vineyards w hich goes to show that the outside world is be ginning to look our way, and well they should as the land here in the Rogue and Applegate valley can not be beat anywhere for its apples and grapes. We understand that they are start ing to build a railroad from Medford to the coast. When that road passes down through the Applegate vallev it will increase the value of the farms 25 per cent and will give us all a ready market for our farm produce. Now is the time for Grants Pass to get busy and take up the proposition of getting in touch with that road, a? it will be one of the best things that ever happened for Grants Pas?.
