A SONG OP REST.
O -weary ImndB! that, all the day,
Were set to labor hard and lone,
Now softly fall the shadows gray,
The bells are rung for even song.
An hoar ago the golden sun
Sank slowly down Into the west;
Poor, weary hands your toll Is done;
Tls time for rest! 'tis time for
rest!
O weary feet! that many a mile
Have trudged along a stony way,
At last ye reach the trystlng stile;
No longer fear to go astray.
The gently bending, rustling trees
Rock the young birds within the
nest,
Aad softly sings the quiet brceze:
"'TIs time for rest! 'tis time
for rest!"
O weary eyes, from which tho tears
Fell ninny a time like thunder
rain
O weary heart! that through the
years
Beat with such bitter, endless
pain,
Tonight forgot tho stormy strife,
And know what heaven shall send
Is best;
Lay down the tangled web of life;
'Tis time for rest! 'tis time for
rest!
Florence Tyleo, in Chamber's Jour
nal. A HIGH OLD TIME.
His wife's gone to tho country,
Ho sings in accents light,
Of pastimes gay throughout tho day
And social games by night.
Suit 'spite of all his joking,
Inspect him close enough,
And you will seo, 'twlxt you and me,
His gayety's a bluff.
He simply goes on working
LIko any other man..
When day is gono ho elts out on
The front fltep with u fen.
His hosiery needs mending;
His buttons, too, are lost.
Tho morniug meal is an ordoal
And dinner is a frost.
He goes out ovory pay day,
And mails his earnings bard,
And without fail each morning's mall
Drings him a picturo card.
And yot tho playful neighbors
Come 'round to him and say:
"Bnjoy yourself, you giddy elf;
Your wife has gono r.way!"

OLD POLITICAL PURITY PREACHES.
NEWSPAPERS over the comintry are being furnished
free pamphlets containing the address delivered by
that distinguished example of good citizenship, "William
F. Herrin, political boss of California, at the Corvallis
commencement. The address is entitled "Public Duties of
Educated Men."
In addition to the oracular copy book platitudes that
usually form an integral part of the oily, frock coat, PCck
snif fian brand of statesmanship of which Mr. Herrin is so
illustrious an example, the address is adroitly directed
against "certain recent innovations in our governmental
machinery" that "make strongly against the delibera
tion that is so essential to sound legislation." In brief,
the address is an attack upon direct legislation and a plea
for the perpetuation of the political machine so ably man
ipulated for the public good for so many years in Califor
nia by this same conservator of the public morals, W. P.
Herrin.
Of course the judgment of Mr. ILerrhi, as "skilled ex
pert" is immeasurably superior to that of the people of
California on "matters pertaining to the public welfare,"
particularly the Southern Pacific's welfare, for in the
matter of public corruption, Mr. Herrin and his followers
are indeed "trained specialists."
Enlightening and deliriously refreshing are Mr. Her
rin 's remarks upon the press. He states:
"The political hope of the present century, the first
decade of which is now drawing to a close, is very closely
bound up with the winning of the press to higher as dis
tinguished from lower standards of judgment, and to a
nobler development of wisdom and courage. I am not
without hope that the great powers of the press for good
or evil will, as time goes on, inspire in it an enlarged sense
of responsibility, give it a new birth of devotion to the
higher purposes of life."
Mi. Herrin has contributed, if reports are true, no
small amount in transportation and linotypes to the "win
ning of the press" to "higher standards," has given many
a struggling publisher "a new birth of devotion to the
higher purposes of life," and the word "higher," we pre
sume is used by Mr. Herrin in the same sense as it was by
Mr. Heney, when he referred to Mr. Herrin as the man
"higher up." The devotion of such a large proportion of
the press of California to Mr. Herrin s machine shows
what great success has attended his efforts to exalt it as an
"ennobling agency" to "dominate the work-a-day world."
Somebody once said that "prostitution is the founda
tion of prosperity," and Mr. Herrin 's career seems to
prove it. What a travesty on good citizenship is William
P. Herrin lecturing to school boj's on "public duties of
educated men!"
E
SETTING FIRES!
Medford Residents Can Well Profit
by Disastrous Fires Now Raging
and Avoid Similar Occurences
Just Be Careful.
While there are big fires raging in
the entire country it might be well
for the people around Medford to be
a little careful about the setting or
handling of fires in tho foothills near
town.
At this time of year the brush is
very dry. Although It Is green and
some might scout the idea of its burn
ing to any sorious extent should It
get on fire, those familiar with thiB
brush in countries where it grows
large and thick know that some very
disastrous fires are the result of a
blaze getting started in it. Perhaps
the most dangerous place for ono of
these blazes to got started would be
In tho territory around Jacksonville.
There is a great deal of brush In that
territory and some of it is more thau
tho average in size and density. This
is now as dry aa tinder and should It
get on fire would burn like a powder
house,
' Should this happen at a time whon
a strong wind was blowing it would
travel so rapidly that the probabili
ties are a number of houses scatter
ed o.ver that country would bo des
troyed In spite of all that could be
dono. For this reason both young
and old cannot bo too careful In the
way they handle fire while in tho
brush region,

MR. BALLIN6ER
Replies to Disparagers in Lengthy
Statement Outlines His Idea of
Conservation and Discusses Accusations.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.
Characterizing the criticisms of his
policies as "hysteriu," Secretary of
the Interior lialliugcr replied to his
disparagers today in a lengthy
statement. Ho also defines his idea
of conservation. 'Bnllingor is today
on his way to Seattle.
"The accusations lodged uguinst
me," says Ballinger'a statement, "in
(he last nnnlysis cannot he dignified
by tho term accusation or even legit
imate criticism. Whatever differ
ences may be discovered between my
administration and that of my prede
cessor will probably be found in the
fact that in the administration of the
public domain I have felt the neces
sity of having thu authority of con
gress, with which tbo constitution
has lodged solo power to prescribe
the law regulating tho public domain.
"In the other enso, any action
when considered desirable was deem
ed authorized unless there was stat
utory prohibition ngainst it. This
doctrine is too ubsurd to wurrant
serious action.
"I believe in development and in
tbut churactcr of conservation which
will permit of development, and this
may bo obtained under rational laws
without doing violence to uny just
views of conservation. Kvery ucro
of public land that can bo devoted
to homesloads, every acre that can
bo feasibly irrigated and brought un
der intensive cultivation will bo re
quired to feed our own people and
will not only add to the wealth of the
states, but to the wealth of the na
tion, "I nw opposed to tho withholding
of any hinds in the public domain,
reserved or unreserved, that are ca
pable of giving strength to the coun
try iu commerce and industry.
