THE COMMON MAN. The years go by; tho powerful and great, All, soon or late, arc bound in death's fast chains; Yet, "while tho highest bow them selves to fato, 'The endless thronjj of common men remains. Time moves apace; princes are stricken down, And, at last, their star of fflory wanes; Upon their brow Death sets his icy crown, ' 1 Yet, through it all, the common man remains. The cycles bpced; kings are en throned in strength; And yet, however grand maj' be their reigns, They, too, arc called away from life ut length And yet, through all, the common man remains. The men of power, whose words will stir tho hearts Of men and nations, some groat end to gain, Will feel in time tho King of Terror's darts, And yet tho common men they blessed remain. As in our reasoning wo stop and pause, As we theso mighty figures view and scan, Wo ask why is it ho? It is because .Tho dear Lord must havo lov.ed tho common man. Thomas F. Porter, in Boston Globe.

STATE SENATOR ALBERT ABRAHAM of Roseburg litis announced his candidacy for republican nomina tion for governor. Other saviors of the party besides .lay Bowonnan, the assembly nominee, are George J. Camer on, district attorney of Multnomah county, Colonel E. Ilofer, editor of tho Salem Journal, and Grant B. Dinuniclc, an attorney of Oregon City. The three latter are support ing the principles of the direct primary law, but Mr, Abra ham wants the assembly, but not in quite as raw a form as the recent assembly, which Mr. Abraham declares was "not representative" and "did not nominate the strong est man," and did not "deliberate with the view of select ing the best man for governor," which, it goes without say ing, was !Mr. Abraham. Republican voters are now given the opportunity of voting for one of three advocates of the direct primary law and one of two advocates of the convention system. But two kinds of convention are presented, that where the candidate chooses the delegates, as in the recent Portland gathering, and that where the delegates theoretically, any way, choose the candidate. As a matter of fact, in every Wfill pstnhlishod nolitinnl iinvt.v ponvontioii. thn hoss .. i . ... - ,., . . chooses bom candidates and inn. nnrnnvnfinna finnnnA flio 1 ruption of any state can be traced directly to this system. Mr. Abraham is unusually shy and modest. It is one of his characteristics. He evidently possesses many vir- tures and will take the public into his confidence by telling them what they are. He served one session of the legisla ture, and believes his record far better than Mr. Bower man's or anyone else's, and will tell the people the secret. He says: "My chief aim shall be to cement the republican party and with the party welfare in view, I believe I am logical- ly the strongest candidate. If nominated, I would receive the votes of all true friends of the assembly movement and of maintenance of party organization, while if Mr. Bower- man were nominated, I believe he would have serious op position from within the party." It is little short of marvelous to find how many people there are abundantly satisfied that they are best qualified to be governor of Oregon, and to unite the republican par ty. Every day from now on will probably find some new candidate discovering in himself the necessary qualifications. You can fool some of the people all the time, as under the assembly system, and all of the people some of the time, as under the convention system; but you can't fool all the people all the time hence the direct primary law. GOOD ROADS IN JACKSON COUNTY. THE good roads movement if we may be pardoned lance of faro, with "a copper creditable pike which is being constructed between Med ford and Jacksonville, every other effort at road improve ment in the county has been an obstruction rather than a benefit. Take, for instance, the road leading from Jacksonville north along the hills, and affording the sightseer the most beautiful view of the valley, which has been made almost impassable to teams or automobiles under sixty-horse pow er. The uninitiated viewing this road for the first time might easily draw the conclusion that this highway had been prepared for the travel of a monowheel contrivance. The high and razor-like ridge of sand thrown up in the center of this highway would certainly tax the balancing skill of an expert bicyclist. In other parts of the county gravel and cobblestones have been thrown on the roads in piles resembling hay cocks and permitted to solidify without leveling off, giving the road the fine corrugated appearance of the business side of a washboard. A majority of the roads of the county might be termed the dairyman's delight. As a labor saving device to the farmer they are certainly ingenious. All the farmer has to do is to put his cream in the cans and start for the mar ket, and long before he reaches the market the arduous task of churning has been accomplished and the butter ready for market. ' NEBRASKA. REBUKES BRYAN DICTATORSHIP. THE Nebraska state convention by a most decisive ina- jority yesterday repudiated the political theories of "W. J. Bryan and deposed the thrice peerless leader of the national party from a state leadership that has lasted over two decades. - Air, Bryan's advocacy of a straight water wagon policy was too much for the tillers of the sandy soils of the rag ing Platte, and they gave tho peerless one his water with a "loo" on tho end of it. Political curtain for Mr. Bryan, and a great national figure grows pathetically commoner. , ... ... delegates, and tne public serv- hr.ee All flin lnirialnfivn onv. - o has reached Jackson county, in the use of the terse par on it."

Our field said tlut it would linvo been futile to make a fight on tho adop tion of the platform he favored. "Tho progressive accomplished much, in spite of appearances," said Garfield, lie refused to discuss his plans for tho future, declaring, however, that ho still would continue tho fight for progressive Hopuhlican princi ples. Staml-Pnt Platform. Tho stand-pat platform was adopted today by the Ohio Repub licans without n fight. A few scat tering "noes" were hoard when tho viva voce vote was taken on the re port on tho resolutions committee. No minority repot t was presented by the committee and the stnud-pattors seemed absolutely in control. Senator Theodore Burton was elected permanent chairman when the convention went into session at 10 o'clock and tho adoption of the ... .... . a resolutions lollowett in a lew nun utcs. The Inform was read by Senator Dick, chairman of tho resolutions committee. It indorses tho Tafl ad ministration and starts a second term boom, recommending; his re nomination in 1912. Tariff Endorsed. The Ohio delegation in congress is praised for its record and tho tariff is endorsed. Tho platform favors ship subsidy, n larger navy, improve ments in rivers and harbors, an amendment to the anti-trust laws enabling quicker adjustment of dif ferences; indorses conservation and urces further generous pension leg islation. The stfito laws, the platform says, should include measures for tho su pervision nnd regulation of public utilities, child labor, direct voto on franchises for public servico corpo rations, publicity of campaign ex penses, nn income tax and tho indi vidual punishment of corporation of ficials in cast trust laws nro vio lated. The plnnk referring to Tnft rends: "We commend in highest terms the splendid ndmiuistrntion of President William Howard Tnft nnd nro proud of the results ho has achieved in 17 months in office. We pledgo' him our henrtv nnd united support nnd indorse him for rcnominatinu in 1912. Point With Pride. "The record of tho achievement! of tho administration and of thu 01st congress is unenuulcd in his tory and guarantees the adhorencc to the pledges of tho lust Iicpublicnu national platform. Tho election of n Republican congress is imperatively necessary to accomplish the entire program of the administration. The tariff has been reduced in accord ance with Republican doctrine of protection of homo industries mnfl American labor. "Congress has not raised the duty on a single common food product. The tariff affords no more than an adequate protection to tho indus tries of the nation, fair to consum ers und producers. Tho tariff law has ever been most unjustly assailed. It has justified tho expectations of its friends, turning the national deficit into a surplus and reducing tho average rale on nil commodities. The maximum and minimum rates operate to givo us for the first time an equal opportunity with nations for foreign trndo." Strongest Stnntl-I'nttcr. . Tho document is tho strongest "ntaud-pat" platform that has been presented in Ohio for many years. Garfield, soon after tho adoption of the platform, announced his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race. He declared he could not be n candidate on such n platform. His lending supporters failed to get into the fight for him. Ho was outgen eraled by the stand-patters and tho progressives were put to rout when tho final test enme. It was expected that Congress man Howlnud would present a minor ity report, but ho failed to do so. Qnrfiold and Ifowlnnd conferred this morning. They conversed for a short time, but it is said reached no un derstanding icgardiiig tho progres sive fight. Progressive supporters at first accused Garfield of treason. ITowhuid finally declared ho had not prepared any minority report and rushed to (he convention hall. Tho progressives expected, after tho Dick plntform was rend, that Ilowland would prosont u minority roport, Thoy woro dumbfounded when ITowlnnd refused to present such a repot t. Tho collapse of tho platform fight ended Garfield's con test in tho convention.

Tho result was so satisfactory that tho bnnnor price of 80 cents por box gross was paid to tho growor. In 1885 Mr. Page built a ware house at Ashland for tho purposo ot drying peaches, as well as shipping them green, and maintained tho es tablishment for nearly a quarter of a century.
