AUGUST.
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
