CENTRAL POINT HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1908. C entral P oint H erald S . A . P a t t is o n , P u b l is h e r . An independent local newspaper devoted to the interests of Central Point and the Rogue River Valley. Published Every Thursday. Subscription price, $1.50 per year, in advance. Entered as Second-class Matter, May 4, 1906, at the Post Office at Central Point, Oregon, under the A ct o f Congress of March 0. 1879. HK WtitR QUESTION. 'T 'l I E HERALD is informed A that the Condor Water and Power Co. propose to submit a proposition to the Central Point town council at its next meeting with a view to supplying the town with water for municipal purposes. While not advised as to the details of the proposed offer, it is understood in a general way to be similar to the proposi tion that company recently made to Medford, with perhaps the additional combination of an irri gation district to be organized in the section adjoining and sur rounding the town by which the same company would furnish the farmers and orchardists with water for irrigation purposes. It is also rumored that the city authorities of Medford are con sidering the matter of making Central Point a proposition to sell us water from their Fish Lake system when it is in opera tion. It is claimed that they ex pect to iiave much more water than they will need once their system is in operation and that they might derive some revenue from the sale of the surplus. A third proposition is one by which we would rely entirely on our own resources and draw our supply from well3 into a stand pipe which would give us the necessary pressure for all pur poses. The Herald is not at this time advocating nor opposing any of these projects. It desires to see the one which will give us an ample supply of pure water at the least p r o p o r t i o n a t e cost adopted. Water we need and water we must have before the town can go ahead as it should and practi cally every citizen feels assured It will, once the water question-is settled right. AN ABSURD ÌIII0RY. The theory that the people’s choice last June for senator should be rejected by Republican Statement No. 1 members o f the legislature because Taft received a majority in this state, or be cause the Republican registration greatly exceeded the Democratic, is one put foreward by desperate and unscrupulous political gam blers, and has no solid and merit orious foundation. The latter argument assumes that every voter must vote the straight ticket and for every candidate on it, as he registers. If one registers as a Republican, he must vote not only for Taft, but for a Republican senator, representative, and Republican state and county officers. He lias no right to exercise any inde pendence or discrimination any where. It is assumed that every man who voted for Taft must or should of necessity have voted not only for Cake, but for the Republican nominees for the legislature, for sheriff, for as sessor, for mayor, for every state, county and city office. It is to this reductio ad absurdam that this assumption inevitably leads. If this idea be correct then there is no need of balloting at nil; the nominees o f the party that has the highest registration might as well be declared elected. The election is a mere uselese form. Not a minority candidate anywhere along the line is en titled to any chance of election whatever, for the registration shows that his i*arty is not strong enough to elect a single man. The registration alone *ould de- termine the election. What an absurdity such a plea is! But Taft carried Oregon by a large majority; therefore, it is urged, the same voters must have necessarily changed their mind as to senator, and must now desire a Republican s e n a t o r . This again assumes that the voters must not and cannot dis criminate between men at all; must elect every one of the same party with the head of the ticket. But innumerable instances show that this is not and under a free ballot cannot be the case. In the late election, Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota gave Taft majorities, and at the same time elected Democratic governors. Shall the people of those states be incited to repudiate their own act, and try to deprive these governors- elect of their offices? This is just as reasonable as to say that because the people of Oregon preferred Taft for president they do not wish Chamberlain for senator, after they have declared that they do want him in that office. Tni3 thing happens in every election as to all sorts of offices, in many states. Multnomah county, of which Portland is the greater part in point of popula tion, is Republican on national politics by some 8,000 or perhaps 10,000 plurality. Yet within the past few years it has elected a Democrat for sheriff and a Dem ocrat for district attorney, and Portland has twice elected a Democrat for mayor. Why, 1 then, were the people not incited' to overturn their own work and j keep these Democrats out of office? It might as well have been said in these cases that the ‘ people had made a mistake, did | not know what they were about, j were the victims of a "juggle” j and a “ bunko game,” as to say so now with respect to Chamber- lain.- Portland Journal.

Well,” said n captain of a merchantman, “ I once know them to get through £5,000 worth of stuff In live days. “Japan does nu immense trade with China lu cocoons, and the first time I carried such n cargo they were packed In sacks. When we got to Hongkong we found that the rats had discovered that part of a cocoon was good to cat, amt the bill for tlielr hoard came to £5,000. The shipowners wore sued for that amount; but, the paeSlng being considered faulty, the claim was dis allowed. It was the first and last co coon feast the rats had, for ever since Japan has packed cocoons in zinc lined cases. “ Every time a ship gets back to Llv- erpool a rat catcher ts set to clearing out the rats, hut by the time we have loaded up again the rodents are every' hit as numerous.
