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

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.
"THE DEVIL'S PICTURE ROOK.-?."
Investigation shows that there Is

DIYORt KS ill Sit AM) THAT
Hi: CAN MARRY RIVAL.
BOSTON, Nov. 27. That her
husband might be free to wed the
woman he loved is the reason given
here today by Mrs. Marian Craig
Went worth, dramatic reader, play
wright and socialist, for obtaining a
divorce from Dr. Franklin II. Went
worth. Dr. Wentworth married Miss Alice
Chapman In Washington Novem
ber 6.
"I had known Miss Chapman for
some years," said Mrs. Wentworth.
"I have always been, and still am,
very fond of her. I love her for the
very qualities which my husband
saw and admired in her. 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."
CARNEGIE TO PROVIDE
FOR (TIARITARLE WORK.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. All but

negie here today. The above named
sum is to be disposed of in his will.
Carnegie also explained his rea
sons for wishing to pension ex-presidents
of the United States. He cited
the cases of three former presidents
Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland as
affording justification for the project.
His trustees and himself were all
hoping, however, he said, "that con
gress would meet the situation by
proper action."

RANK OF ENGLAND
GOLD DISAPPEARS.
LONDON, Nov. 27. 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.

MURPHY ITEMS.
Joe McFadden was a business vis
itor from here to Grants Pass one day
this week.
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?.
Every one around here is makng
ready for the dance at Murphy
Grange hall on November 27th, and
