John Henry Jasper Johnson
is a
leader of reforms,
Always somewhere In tho center of
our economic storms.
And he fights for the afflicted and
he weeps for tho oppressed
Till his swelling bosom often breaks
the buttons off his vest.
He has spoken for the wretched clean
from Beersheba to Dan
And he'll gladly rail all morning at
tho tyranny of man,
And I'm sure a three-Inch spyglass
searching ever and anon
Couldn't find a man in favor of more
big reforms than John.
Ah 5 but when he seeks his slippers
and his leather-covered couch,
He'B tho meanest-tempered uplift
man that over nursed a grouch.
How he hollers at the children! How
he growls at Mrs. J.!
Till they feel like singing ragtime
when he leaves them for a day.
Now James W. McSmlthers Is anoth
er type oh, yes,
And he cops our local dollars with re
markable success;
And he nabs our city franchises as
often as they're loose,
And ho owns cloven aldermanlc votes
for private use.
And when very gentle editors start
classifying James,
"A parasitic tyrant" Is tho mildest
of their names;
And always when he's mentioned he
Is qualified as thus
"Boss McSmlthers civic vampire
' our disgraceful Incubus!"
But, good gracious, you should see
him in tho bosom of his folks,
Playing hide-and-seek with baby, toll
' ing Bobby funny Jokes,
Such a chap for romps and 'frolics In
tho daily family life!
Such a man for little picnics with tho
kiddies and tho wife!
And so I'm not decided whether I
should choose to bo
Just an enomy of mankind with a
loving family,
Or a frlond of all creation from Jo
hannesburg to Nome,
With the children undor sofas wbon
papa comes grumplng homo,
Horatio WInslow, lu Puck.
PROGRESSIVE
EPUBLTCANS are presenting such good candidates
for the legislature that there will likely bo no demo
R
cratic opposition.
The latest candidates to file announcements are IT. von
dor ITclleii of "Wellen, who offers himself, at the solicit
ation of friends, for state senator. He is a kindly, cour
teous gentleman of the old school, who has served tho peo-.
pie well as representative, is familiar with legislative
methods and will undoubtedly ably represent Jackson
county in tho senate.
Captain M. P. Eggleston of Ashland, who has announc
ed his candidacy for the legislature, is one of the best
known citizens of the valley. ITc has "made good" iu
office and is well qualified to represent his constituency.
The candidates, so far announced, have subscribed to
Statement No. 1, pledging themselves to vote for the pop
ular choice for United States senator, thus showing them
selves in sympathy with the progressive element of the
party, and in accord with the wishes of the people.
AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.
IT IS a matter of uublic congratulation that Gcoree L.
Davis has consented to be a candidate for count v
commissioner. He should be nominated and elected in a
walk.
No office in the county is more important to the people
than that of county commissioner. No office, rightly ad-
. . i i .. ,. Kn-.-irvF4- nit flin linriiilo Mid
ministerea. can comer mui-c
noiio is -noorer Daid. Only a
desire to serve the community, can induce a man of ability
to accept it. .
Upon the county commissioners rests the material wel
fare of the county through the highways, which are the
nrterins of its commerce. Upon the character of highways
"largely depends, not only the market value of the farm
: r-rs and fruitgrowers' crops, but the value of the farm or
orchard itself. Accessibility
value of both land and product.
ttnnrf mnds is the most important problem before the
people of Jackson county. It is essential, at this period
of growth and expansion, that we have scientific road
construction. Last year some $80,000 was spent on the
roads and good roads experts pronounce most of it wast
ed and the present system of road construction wreng:
Progressive citizens generally will welcome a chance
to vote for a progressive man for county commissioner
and Mr. .Davis fills the bill.
SIGNS OF
RAY STANDARD BAKER, the special writer, be
lieves that the country is on the eve of a great social
and political revolution. In his article in the September
American Magazine he says that the strength of the so
called insurgent movement is underestimated. He be
gins his article, which deals with the progressive move
ment in Rochester, as follows :
"Less than one year ago those cluefly in authority at
Washington, not knowing the sure signs of impending rev
olution, were complacently reading the insurgents of the
west out of the ranks of the republican party. Thd upris
ing was looked upon as a street riot caused by certain
rude and unruly fellows who were to be crushed out by
swift violence.
" 'A mirage,' said Secretary Ballinger of the interior
department, referring to the uprising in his speech at St.
Paul. 'Treason,' said Attorney General Wickersham, at
the Hamilton club. 'Hypocrisy,' -said the president him
self, referring in his speech at Newark to the criticism of
his administration. Not one of these men seemed to see
or hear or feel the old order crumbling around him.
"And yet within six months' time the speaker of the
house, who had seemed impregnably fortified, has gone
down to defeat in the heat and din of battle. Aldrich and
Hale have abdicated without offering to join issue with
the people of their own states, and a score of other leaders
for so long dominant in the party both senators and rep
resentativeslook with fear to the results of the fall elec
tions. Public opinion, indeed, has seemed to rise for the
moment above the ordinary machinery of governvent, and
to work its will regardless of elections or platforms or par
ties." .

even tho little black fleas stuck to

all along tho way pleased and happy,
Tuesday morning I stopped at
James Owens' place. Of courso
James is one of tho present county
commissioners. Ah Mrs, Owciib' sow.
Ing machine was out of whack, I was
kept busy repairing her machine till
dinner time. Mrs. Owens boards sev
eral of tho water plpo men, none
knows bettor than does Mrs. Owona
how to got up an oxcollont good din
ner. Aa I had business with Mr.
Owens, after dinner I drove up Dry
crek to where ho was holplng his
brothers, George and John, do their
grain threshing. James looks much
moro fatherly and homoltko than ho
did 15 years ago, whon I first met
him.
Tuesday night found mo at Agato
where I organized a socialist local
with nine members. Thoy now have
a membership of 16 and still grow

mo they would Join. Thoy have the
best talent thoro for a good local
of any placo In Jackson county. Thoy
with a few exceptions nro good sing

As I wns hunting cnttlo pasture, I
was compelled to leavo much road

With my repair kit satchol In hand (
I walked Into tho largo boarding tent
just after tho boarders ato tbolr din
ner. Tho young boarding mistress,
on noticing my satchel, asked If I
was selling stomach. I said I was
loklng for something to stop tho
gnawing at my own ntomach, which
wns soon found tho tablo. I told
her I was selling recipes to stop
heartache. She said thoro wore
about 75 or SO of those remedies was
at their tabje three tlmos a day.
All alongitho road I found many
young menand young 'women nnd
girls aro tliiiiking hard and turning
