THE COURIER'S LIBEL SUIT.
County Judge Stephen Jewell of Josephine county,
whose picture appears in the Grants Pass pamphlet as one
of the resources of the country to attract homeseekers to
the Rogue River valley, must be as thin-skimmed as he is
prominent, for he has had the editor and publisher of the
Rogue River Courier arrested for criminal libel.
The alleged libelous article reads as follows:
"The county judge has men at work filling up the deep
est holes in the road south of the bridge.

FOLLY AS IT FLIES
Disillusionment.
In commenting upon the arrest, the Courier says:
"It may be explained that the real trouble commenced!
'when the Courier refused to print his pre-election declara- j
tion, by which he desired to prove himself a prophet. The fcopt.cd certa!n ,tems of th0 budsoti inches to

and Dr. Smith was a gentleman, and more of that sort of
gush. This prophetic declaration was prepared in tripli
cate and sent to each of the newspapers. The Courier re
fused to inflict the silly stuff on the public."
Tien the Courier proceeds to inake the amend honora
ble as follows: rjf
"We are extremely sorry that trouble has arisen and
the pleasant relations which have so long existed'between
the judge and this newspaper have been so rudely severed.
We have always been permitted to print very many arti
cles for the judge, which always pleased him much, not
"withstanding the fact that many of our readers were in
the habit of saying "rats" whenever they saw his produc
tions. We have furnished the judge week after week and
month after month with extra papers free."
In further explanation, the Courier asserts that the
judge guaranteed political advertising done for demo
cratic candidates in 1908, and that upon being pressed for
the money, the judge started the libel suit, all of which is
an interesting sidelight upon the political conditions pre-
vuuig m om? sister county, and a sad commentary upon
tiie business methods of the Courier, which should adopt
the rule prevailing in most newspaper offices, which ex
perience has shown necessary cash in advance for polit
ical advertising.
It is hard to understand how the court suffered a libel
in the article printed, or how his reputation was damaged,
even if the road builders had taken gravel from some river
bar without consulting the owner. The wholft nffmV i'

It's now Asbalnd's turn to make a
move for an initiative measure for
the rehnbilame'nt of tho Oregon Bys
iem of state normal scbpols, embrac
ing Ashland, Monmouth and Weston,
which have institutions recognized by
daw, but from which appropriations
were withheld by tho last legislative
.assembly, and tho schools closed, to
ibe everlasting discredit of tbo state,
;and it is bolievcd against the wishes
and will of the people.
Monmouth recently started a cam
paign for an initiative measure to
provide a permanent state appropria
tie.
A battle for the life of Weston nor
mal school was commenced at Penle
ion Saturday. The exeeutive com
inHtee pf eastern Oregon citizens
which met there decided that Weston
hall fight independently for rein

Colonel James II. Raley were ap-

i onoe. ins Din win tie votea on at
fifth of a mill on all state property
for tho support of Weston. This, at
the present valuation, would amount
to about $27,000 annually.
The bill, if adopted, cannot at tho
best bo made effective sooner than
the fall of 1012. If approved by the
people and tbo assessment made in
1011, the proceeds would not be in
nor the appropriation made before
the time named. For this reason
friends of not only Weston normal,
but of Ashland and Monomuth, are
anxious to avoid delay. Consenuent-
ly a hot campaign was planned and
