AUGUST, much maligned August, tho month of so called dreary "dog days," is really one of the finest seasons of the year, especially in the Rogue River valley. The sun shines cheerily from a cloudless sky, the dust hangs in lazy streaks along the country roads, the smoke from distant forest fires curtains the horizon in a dreamy haze. Fruit is ripening in the orchard, melons in the gar den as nature fulfills her promise of the spring, and with iJic perfection of maturity completes her handiwork. The nights are more glorious jthan the day. The in tense heat slips away with the sun's golden disk and a delightful coolness falls with the gathering darkness. Tlie moon, yet young, already plates the wondering world with silver, as the myriad swinging lanterns of the night beautify the heavens. August is the season of vacations. Silvery streams, murmuring through verdure-clad mountains, wildwood and forest, full of whispers and of shadows, appeal irre sistibly to the city-worn. The ocean, yearning up the cliffs to tell its mystery or breaking wildly on the beaches, lures the overworked and weary. Beneath the shade of the pine or listening to the surging sea, the humdrum cares of life are forgotten and in idleness and ease tired nature recuperates. But to those who stay at home and most of us do August is still a delightful month. From the quiet dawn when the morning glory in its fragile beauty welcomes the rising sun till the still night with its unsung music "of spirit lutes, touched on a spirit sea," the dav is well worth while. ? 8- ij SftVUI No vision of heaven by poet or prophet ever equalled the splendor of the earth in the fullness of summer, August, and if we do not fit our setting, we have only ourselves to blame. POLITICS EMASCULATED. TIMES are so prosperous in Southern Oregon that few people have time or leisure to pay attention to pol itics. Hence candidates are tardy in making announce ments. The political pot has not even begun to simmer, Jet alone boil. Politicians say that the direct primary law is to blame that it has emasculated politics. By that they mean that it has taken out the graft of politics, and that with out the graft the game is not worth playing. Salaries of officials are not big enough to tempt men of ability. They can make more in almost any other line. Ilie corporations cannot finance candidates they must go before the people. The word of a boss no longer makes or unmakes men it is up to the people and while the people may be fools to insist on making their own selec tions, they are not such big fools as to let the boss continue to make the selections for them. Hence there is nothing in it, except legitimate salary, for the joliticiau and he is not looking for that. No longer does the legislator wear a crown of glory. Under Statement One, as the people's servant, he must do what the people say. He cannot auction off his support to Mr. Moneybags for senator. He serves his community for forty days and nights, gets small pay, and nothing on the side. Who wonders at "assemblies" to restore the good old days the days of deadlock sessions the days when a man's vote was worth as much as years of honest toil? But they have gone forever are one with roses of yes terday. And politics, robbed of its graft, is scarcely worth while, except as an emblem of good citizenship. THE DEMOCRATIC ASS BRAYS. PORTLAND Democratic politicians, or would-be poli ' ticians have held an "assembly" of their own, and nith characteristic shortsightedness, have "recom mended" John Manning, former district attorney of Mult nomah county, for governor, and appointed a comrrultce to try and induce Oswald "West and Jeff Myers, the Kin Klux Kian candidate, to withdraw in Manning's intercut and Myers is willing. Mr. Manning has no element of strength that would appeal to the Democratic masses. He has done nothing to command their confidence as district attorney is not so brilliant as to justify further political advancement, nor will the rank and file swallow him. It will be remembered that this same small coterie of pie-hungry politicians a few years ago ignored Mayor Harry Lane and nominated one of their number for mayor of Portland, and that the rank and file of the party went to the polls and wrote "Harry Lane" upon their ballots (his name was not even printed) and Lane was nominated by a majority of five to one. They are again showing similar astuteness and sagacity, even as their Republican brethren did in their assembly. Oswald "West could have no stronger endorsement than the fact that he is not acceptable to the politicians of his party. and support. His record - f nnMMiiNinATinNS to tno Kditer: . On my morning walk from North Contrnl nvKtuin to Sovi'tith stt-oit. noting the daily changes and im provements and atluuriug the many new, costly .evidences surrounded with so much cleanliness, beauty and attractiveness from oiieh side of the streot, my attention was attracted to the unsightly remains of an old deserted tent, corner Fifth and North Central avenue, whose last tenant was ceitainly not a prohi, from thn liniiiliiM of oiniilv hoi tin to he soon and the unsightly amount ol debris and tilth scattered about, which is certainly a very obnoxious unwelcome siuht to bo seen by tho passer-by, especially the visiting stranger to our city. Wo would sug gest this ilii(H'tioiliilili. lmsiuiitni'v object bo removed from our midst and tho pretty residence property and tho clean, newly paved street be improved by something more attrac tive mid inviting. J. O. MAHTIN. TAFT DECIDES ON DRASTIC MEASURES (Continued from Page 1.) ator Crnno and when ho sent him west. It was believed by politicians that Crnno lmd boon given a plnco closo to tho president In political councils. Tho authoritative roports that Secretary Dalltngor has prepared his resignation and that ho will loavo offlco about Soptembor 15 and that Senator Aldrlch In nn Intorvtow with Taft yesterday ropoated his former assertion that ho would not bo a can didate for re-election, together with ttjo further report that Speaker Can non will no logger bo rotalned as a party leader, lias glvon rlso to tho belief that Crane has taken tho placo Hitchcock held as chief political ad visor to tho president. Want Teddy's Help Tho romorat of Dalltngcr and tho retirement of Aldrlch and Cannon aro only part of a plan, It Is boltovcd, which Is Intended to appcaso tho In surgents and coax an endorsement out of Theodoro Roosovolt nnd In sure victory. Just what tho movo will be I3 a matter of speculation but thoso close to the administra tion hero sar that others of tho reg ulars who are considered out of touch with progressiva Ideas may find tholr leadership slipping from them. Taft Is particularly anxious to have a Re publican majority In tho next houso so that the rest of his program may bo carried out. The decision to iniiko the changes that have been mnde, It Is declared, follows messages car ried by various leaders from all parts of tho country pointing out -THE-NATATORWM GRAND OPENING OF TIIE BILLIARD ROOM- AND BOWLING ALLEYS FINKS r ON TIIK COAST.

It is believed that Aid rich's visit to Heverly yesterday after his lottor to Congressman McKlnloy denying tho llrlstow charges, was made In tho hope that Taft would ontlurso tho denial. That tho president lot tho Ilhodo Island senator know that ho would not endorse tho denial and that Aldrlch then promised to retire, Is the belief of politicians hore.

In officialdom horo today the roports from Uovorly that llnlllnijor practic ally bas boon forced to retlro and that Aldrlch bas been snubbed, and that Cannon will not bo dofondod, Is attributed largoly to tho Inflttonco of Chnrlea D. Norton, socrotnry to tho president. That Taft practically snubbed Senator Aldrlch yesterday when tho sonnto londer called on hint Is the roport finding crodenco horo, and It Is said that Norton's Inflttonco was responsible for tho reception tendored tho Ilhodo Iulnndor. It Is reported thnt Senator Ald rlch planned a long stay at tho sum mer capital, but tho formality of tho visit, which amounted to real chilli ness, caused him to chanco his nlans and lenvo spoedlly. A report that Is doing circulated In political quarters hore Is that Post-mastor General Hltchock was directed somo tlmo ago to Kot rid of Secretary Dalllnger.
