OUR PROSPERITY DEPENDENT
S
mrrc nf iln Homm llivnr vnllnv orchards make record yields niul record
profits. Wo like to "play them up" to show what this country of
mira nni iin.
Tho prosperity of tho vnlloy, and therefore oC the towns, however, does
not rest upon tho record yields of a few orchards, but upon tho average
vinld niul llm nvArncm return of nil tho orchards.
If tho many small growers are not making successes of tho busincss.tho
nrosneritv of the few will not count. Property will depreciate, prices
oAiinnt lin maintained, nnd a slumn will follow.. '
Organization and co-operation among all tho growers arc essential to
make their investments safo bv insurimr ndeauato returns. Tho exponeuco
of California and othor fruitgrowing sections proves this, and if tho Kogue
River valloy would save bitter experience, it Should learn by tho lessons
of others.
Tho nvorago commission broker is an unscrupulous shark. As long as
an effective organization is in tho field, fair treatment is assured, but lbt
tho organization die and big and littlo growers are at tho shurk's mercy.
It is unrt of tho commission broker's business to see that the independ
ent shippers got good prices it helps to break down the organization In
many instancos the outire output of largo shippers is purchased outright,
lo weaken tho association. Tho wurfaro against organization in its incip-
iency is unremitting.
Romio river has mndo an oxccllent stnrt. An organization, embracing
a majority of tho shippers, is marketing its first crop.. Considering tho
conditions, the establishment of a brand and all tho ilifticulties ol organ
ization encountered, satisfactory progress is being mndo and good pricos
secured a foundation for much bigger businoss.
But it is a matter of regret that all growers do not realize tho urgent
necessity of joining tho association and working with it 'lost this district
suffer tho fato of tho Yakima district this year and lose hundreds of cars
of fruit throuch inability to market.
More incompetents are attracted to fruitgrowing than to any other
business. Wo all vnt them to make a success, lest their failure uiscour
ago others and what is duo to personal fniluro bo attributed to tho country
and an association will do much to help this class to success.
All of us. whether interested in' orchard property or not, nro indirectly
interested, for upon tho success of the fruit-producer depends all other
commercial success.

(as a party representative; the boss
uses and shields him. Leadership Is
carried on in the open daylight; bose-
lsm derives its main strength from
that which is done under cover of
darlcness.
Hravo Leadership Needed.
"Of course, leadership must not
only bo brave and honest, but sober
and according to the dictates of com
mon Bonse. Exactly as a conserva
tive favoring abuses and conniving
aTcorruptlon is the worst enemy of
conservatism, bo tho popular leader
and reformer, acting the demagogue
and wild-eyed visionary, who incites
to excess and whose rash action stirs
up class hatred, is himself the worst
foe of progress and the most danger
ous enemy of tho cause ho cham
pions, Progress, If permanent, must
be wise, sober and moderate. But
progress tboro must and shall be.
It is our task to preserve prosperity
la the interest of all, but it Is also In
the Interest of all that wo seek a less
unequal division, prosperity. Mate
rial well boing is ti great good, but
chiefly as a moans of upbuilding
upon it a high and fine type or char
acter, private and public."
HE present struggle between '"stand-pattism" and "insurgenov''?is
simply a recurrence of tho periodic popular uprisings which hao
characterized Dolitical historv nnd created noliticnl pnrties in
America since its birth as a natiou and moreover been its salvation.
Tho insurgeucy of Jefferson nnd his followers ngninst tho stand-pattism
of tho federalists, created the early republican party, as tho insurg
ency of Jackson later the democratic party, and tho insurgency of tho
abolitionists still later the republican party. The insurgency of Bryan and
the populists came near creating a new political dynasty in tho '90s, the
time was not ripe it was delayed, but the seeds sown then nro maturing
in the insurgency of today.
These insurgent movements are nonpartisan protests to start with and
draw from all parties until sufficient strength is derived to create a new
political organization. All political organizations holding long lenses of
power become arrogant, corrupt and betray ther truJ.
Whether the present insurgency, which is a desire to smash a govern
ment for tho benefit of special interests and restore it to the people, will
lesult in the creation of a new party, druwiug from both old pnrties, us
hinted by Roosevelt in his new "Nationalism," or merely result in the puri
fication of the republican party, remains for the futuro to determine.
Tho mass of people are tired of both old parties, their hodge-podge of
promises nnd farcical performance, weary of the sounding brass of the
politician, of the perversion of government for the benefit of the favored
few and ripe for a change.

it used to be
Evor since tho firt sotiloinont was imulo in this part of
the beautiful Koguo Kivcr Valloy, tho "Ifidsiill" farm has
had tho imputation of l)ohi ono of tho best i)iooes of land
in tho country. Sinco tho first breaking of tlio virgin sod,
bountiful crops have boon grown year after year. Corn,,
wheat, oats and barloy havo mado record yields on this
land. A fow years ago it was purchasod by Captain Voor
hics and added to tho ncreago of tho BURUELL OR
CHARD. It has been set to pears and apples, tho nursory stock for
sanio having been grown on tho placo and grafted with
scions taken from selected h'ces of pro von qualities for
nuuv,) kvxuius ol I'.xu'ii lancy lruit. xn tins iimiiuov aim m
no othor can trees bo "brod up" to a high standard just
as horses or cattle aro improved. 4 " ;
The purchase of tho Edsall ICO acres squared out tho '
BURRELL ORCHARD, making G03 acres in all. Until yjfc '
last winter no thought was ovor ontortained of soiling "'
any part of the placo. Circumstances arising during tho
past year, however, mado it advisable for Captain Voor
hics to offer it for sale. There boing no indebtedness of . -any
kind or character against tho proporty, ho decided f
that it would be for tho best interests of tlio community
to cut it up into smaller ports, rathor than soil it as a whole. .
No part of the orchard is reserved. All or any part of it
is for sale on easy tonus. This young block of trees, how
over, is considered to bo a splondid bargain at $125 por ' '
acre. It is worth $550 or $000 as compared to similar prop
erties in othor parts of tho Northwest. Tt is only two miles
from Medford, within half milo of Voorhies shipping sta
tion and immediately adjoining a thirty-three aero block
of peara that have this year produced thirty-one carloads
of fruit.
It pays to buy the best especially as in this caso where
the land IS the cheapest.

PARAMOUNT ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN
TJAR AMOUNT issue of the campaign in Oregon is tho preservation of
popular government that is of tho right of the people to rulo.
Statement No. 1 is the means whereby the (.cople of Oregon elect
their own United States senators.
The direct primary is the means whereby the people nominate their
own candidates, instead pf voting for those selected for them by poli
ticians, ij"
The initiative is the means whereby the people make their own laws.
The referendum is the means whereby the people sanction or nullify the
acts of the legislature.
The recall is the means whereby the people can punish unworthy office
holders. Reactionaries aro endeavoring to destroy this direct legislation. They
would restore the election of senators to the legislature, substitute the
assembly for the direct primary, restore the rulo of the political machine,
and nullify the initiative, referendum and recall.
Tho fight on Statement No. 1 is the opening wedge. The assembly is
pledged by the Oregonian to "knife to the hilt" every Statement candidate.
When Statement No. 1 is disposed of, all the others will come in turn.
Shall the people continue to rulo? if they would, they must "knife to
the hilt" every anti-Statement candidate.
AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK
H
Tou wouldn't move into a Btora bo
email that you couldn't display half
your stock so don't try to adyer
I'tiso in half-enough spaco, either!
Haaklna for health,
ENRY J. BEAN, who is running for supreme judge (and who, by tho
way, is no relation to his namesake, tho former supreme court chief
justice and present federal judge) ncainst Judge McBride and Wal
lace McCamant, is flooding tho mails with a circular over his own signa
ture, attacking ono of lu's opponents.
It is a poor campaign for a supreme court candidate to endeavor to
make votes by abusing his opponent. If he does make such attack ho
should at least make sure of his fucts. Bean has neglected to do this, and
has attached his name to a charge against Mr. McCamant which is not true
and whoso falsity would havo been disclosed by any investigation on his
part. The dignified campaign of Mr. McCamant is in striking contract
with the blatant self-praise of Bean.
Sir. McCamant is by all odds the ablest lawyer of the three candi
dates, and, regardless of party factions or politics, should bo elected to thu
supreme court bench now so sadly in need of legal ability.
The Mail Tribune, which docs not seek partisan success, but tho suc
cess of the principle of popular government as reflected in Oregon by
Statement No. 1, whether it be called republican, democratic) or insurgent,
advised J. J. Cambers, one of tho senatorial candidates, to withdraw in
order to insure the success at the polls of u Statement candidate. This
Mr. Cambers refuses to do, which is his privilege. There is nothing like
the optimism of an office-seeker, until tho votes are counted. Then ho
thinks, with King David, that "all mon nro liars."

To the Editer:
In common with other candidates
for stato senator, William M. Colvig
calls public attention to cortain qual
ifications that aro subject to the in
spection, approval or disapproval of
the public at largo. Mr. Colvig
invites criticism tho moment he an
nounces himself a candidate for this
high office. No doubt Mr. Colvig
would wolcoma any fuir criticism,
and I take tho liberty of requesting,
through your columns, enlightenment
along certain lines in considering the
advisability of casting a vote for this
candidate.
It' has been my lmpicssiou that
tho gentleman running for office
was the Medford uttorney for tho
Southern Pacific ruilwuy, I desire
to know if Mr.- Colvig intends as
state senator to retain tlio practice
of law, uud if such being tho case,
he is to continue to handle, as at
torney for the Southorn Pncific or
any other public sorvico corporation,
such legal mnttors ns might bo
brought to his place of business by
those corporations.
It has boon tho custom for sena
tors in many states to handlo "with
out bias as private legal business"
tho affairs of publio sorvico corpo
senutor thoy also wore obliged to
consider legislation affecting the
very corporations whoso legal busi
ness thoy passed upon and from
whom thoy rocoived monoy for such
service.
Theoretically it might work out
without dishonesty or prejudice.
Practically, ninny unfortunnto scan-
dals havo blackoucd tho records of
representatives of tho pooplo who
found theniHojvos opun to suspicion
of having represented their cliouts
to tho detriment of the publio wel
fare in mnttors of state,
William M, Colvig, in private lifo,
npponrH n citizen very much admir
ed and respected. William M. Col
vig in publio lifo must either discon
tinue his somco as attorney for
such corporations or loso tiio sup
port of thoso who cannot boliovo that
a man can servo two masters. I
think it only fair that Mr. Colvig
miiko it publiqstatemont Of his iu
tcntioiiBMii this regard nnd if ho in
tends (o receive remuneration for lo
gal sorvico directly or indirectly
from any corporation, individual or
(firm likely to 890k legislative fuvors

at tho coming election would wel
come that Riuno characteristic fnir-
rations while nt tho samo timo as iiosh that diHtlinruJBh tho statemonls
found .clsowhoro over tho jttdgo's
signal uro.
In closing, permit me to comment
on what appears to bo a cortain
inconsistency in ono of the statu
monts referred to. Mr. Colvig says
he desires to vote for senator for
that candidate (republican) receiv
ing tho highest numbor of votes
(republican), nnd thereby servo tho
host intercuts of thoso who olectod
him (William M. Colvig) to his po
sition ns stato Honntor.
How docs tho judgo know who
