Down in Josephine county a wonderful discovery has
"been made. It is not m mining or fruit growing, but. in
the realm of statesmanship. Mr. Stephen Jewell, county
judge, whose pictur
1 Jets as one of th
migration, rushes into pr
loth the Oregouian and Journal. The reason for the
Avriting of the letter is Senator La toilette's speech at
Grants Pass.
The retiring modesty of this distinguished county
judge grasps the occasion to inform the people of Oregon
that he has been telling the people of Oregon for twenty
years the same things that La Follcttc told them.
Think of it, ye voters of Oregon, and the horror of it
all! A gentleman has been dinning into the ears of the
citizcrs of Josephine county for twenty years a statement
of facts that, made by La Follette on the floor of the sen
ate, aroused the nation and divided his party L But after
twenty years of reiteration in Josephine county we hear
of not a single "arouse" or "divide."
This might be taken as showing a great disparity be
tween this genius of. Josephine and the statesman trom
Wisconsin. But it is not. It simply illustrates the per
versity and selfishness and lack of patriotism of the peo
nln nf flint, nmmf.v. For twcutv vcars thev hare been
receiving a message containing information that La Fol
lette, Cummins and Dolliver have just recently discov
ered, and have refused to even whisper to their nearest
neighbors the name of their great teacher and reformer
who was wearing out his life in reiterating to an unappre
ciative people the great thoughts that a nation only
needed to hear to understand and applaud.
It is not to be doubted that when this noble and self
sacrificing soul heard the applause that greeted the Wis
consin senator, when he spoke in his own town, coming
from people that paid half a dollar to hear what had been
poured out to them for twenty years for nothing, he must
Jiave wept copiously with bitter tears at the ingratitude
of his own people.
There can be but one explanation of the attitude of tho
people of Josephine county. By keeping secret the teach
ings of this great man they hoped to keep him to them
selves for his life, when, if they made his presence known,
lie would be taken away from them to serve the state, to be
made governor, congressman and senator.
Now the gentleman himself lias divulged to the world
the well-kept secret, Josephine county cannot hope to
keep him long. The state or nation will be calling to him
(If not, why the publishing of the same letter in both of
Oregon's great daily newspapers?) La Follette will be
Veleerated to the rear as a nlaeiarist and mutator of
Stephen Jewell, who is proclaimed by Stephen Jewell him
self as his superior m statetsmansnip, patriotism and
ability. d
Some might wonder but it cannot be--if this is the
same Stephen Jewell who attended a convention of county
judges, called by themselves, 'and offered a resolution de
clarinir that the county courts of the various counties
should pay their expenses that is, that when the gentle
men returned home they should vote themselves money
from the county treasury to pay the expenses of their Mt
tie excursion.
talk, pitied, our conditions and left for Portland.
This is the extent of the delegation's Jnbors in behalf
the dear people of southern Oregon. This superb ag
gregation has had its time taken up learning what Porl
' uul wants. Is it any wonder the people want a new state ?
Northern California is precisely in the same predicament,
and also clamoring for the new state.
At no distant day the people will demand a new condi
tion of affairs. Such a rich empire as southern Oregon
and northern California will not tolerate to he unrepre
sented at Washington many years longer1. The people are
already awakened to the fact that the present delegation
is cither useless or indifferent at Washington.
Southern Oregon demands more than circular letters,

A SEAT OF LEARNING.
Medford could be the home of a great university. The
conditions are ideal. Not a school for the scions of the'
rich and the profligate, but for those who earnestly seek
for higher education as a means of moral and intellectual
culture.
The attractive part ot the proposal is that students
would find work in the orchards during three months of
the year that would enable them to pay the greater part
of their expenses. This wouKl supply the orchardists with
a high class of labor, and help solve what will be when
we have fifty thousand acres of orchard in bearing, diffi
cult to obtain. i -
The local labor supply will be alwavs insufficient to fill
the bill and the necessary supply must be found in an 'in-
ettu-ient class that must be imported for that purpose.
me scliool year could be made to begin at the close of
the harvest of the apple crop, and end when it bctrins.
Several veal's ago two young men started in a small
war a private school at Valparaiso, Ind., which, without
am, nas grown to a university with an enrollment of five
thousand students. 3 is a school without holidays or
secret societies, where education and maintenance could be
obtained cheaper than 'any part of the country.
The opportunity is here for a like undertaking.

THE SHADE TREE CAMPAIGN.
EITHER IMPOTENT OR INDIFFERENT.
Southern Oregon's delegation seems to the people of
southern Oregon to have gone to seed, to be worn but or
needing spraying badly. It seems very evident it is inspir
ed with the belief that Portland is Oregon.
The recommendations of the chief engineer of the army
for appropriations is an eye-opener to all of southern Ore
gon. It simply tells its own story either our delegation
is ignored at Washington or the delegation ignores he
people.
Neither senator has demed this vast empire worthy
of their presence since eoufrross adjourned. Senator
Bourne, who owes Ihb election to southern Oregon, has
been busv "getting evs" with his enemies in, Portland,
with no time or inclination to Yisit his section. A'll the

GROUPING PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Mcdford' expects in the near future a federal building,
a county courthouse and a public library. It would add
much to the appearance if these buildings could bo
grouped at the same 'street intersection. The time to
prepare for this is now.
It would be profitable in the end if some arranagement
could be made by the Commercial club to secure such sites
while the same could be had.

The announcement of the Southern Pacific that it will
erect a new depot is gratifying. .But along with the new
depot snouiu go a cliange m the railroad yard.
.Nothing mars the beauty of the city more than the
dingy warehouses and long lines of freight ears that are
strung along through the middle of the city.
lurking the railroad depot grounds will adU much toJ
appoawtnees, but this will be marred with long lines of red,
yellow'and black cars in the backgrounds, if the side
tracks and warehouses are to remain whqrc they now are.
