A BUTCHER FOR LEADER.
rplIE PORTLAND OREOONIAN, in commenting on
the assembly, makes some astonishing admissions.
Among other things, itays?, -
"Thfr secret meeting in, the o'fttee of a local corporation
for the preparation of a slate "vvas Ii gross blunder and a
grave injustice totlie delegates to the assembly."
This corporation sUte endorsed by the assembly was
headed by Jay Bowcrmau, a Southern Pacific attorney,
and eminently satisfactory to the corporations. By virtue
of a divided opposition, Jay Bowermau, "assembly nominee
for governor, is now republican nominee, though opposed
to the principles the rank and file believe in. p
The asrcnibly intended to "put the knife into Statement
(No. 1," and Bowcrmau was selected as best qualified to

Bowermau 's previous record showed that he was an
adept at butchering established institutions. Bowermau,
as president of the senate, killed the three normal schools
of the state. "Who was so well qualified to kill Statement
No. 1 as the normal school slayer?
Jay Bowerman's platform has been overwhelmingly
repudiated by the republican party. What an absurdity
it would be to elect as governor a man opposed to the prin
ciples of his party, a politician who seeks to restore to
power the political, machine "repeatedly smashed by the
people, a wily schemer who received his own nomination
by the employment of convention methods and manipu

cliineiy, wre induced to participate. It became apparent
before the work was completed, however, that delegations'
had been, solicited and secured prior to the opening and
that candidates who intended placing their names before
the open meeting had absolutely no show of winning an
indorsement. I do not say first class men were not chosen
in each instance, but the method smacked too strongly of
the old system. So, instead of being a help to those secur
ing its indorsement, the assembly really acted as a hand
icap. No assembly can ever again succeed which brings
in delegations pledged in advance. That practical politi
cians will ever consent to the holding of a convention of
I unpledged members seems now beyond possibility."
Yet Uowerxnan, leader, master and packer of the re
pudiated assembly, comes before the people and asks an
endorsement of the assembly and its methods, and its pur
poses, by his own election as governor.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29. Offi
cials of the forestry service ara con

following the discovery of what they
Iwrileve to have been a macLine de
signed to set fire to the forests In
tiel Cleovjand reserve.
,The machine consisted of a copper
wire cone, beneath which on a dry
tase a tallow candle was fastened.
The cone was arranged so that the
asa'dle after being lighted would be
protected from the wind and would
-re
burn for sotno time bofore reaching
the base, upon which inflammable
aa'terial was scattered.
The officials appear to be convlnc
MMthat the bllder of the machine

J
np HE platform of the so-called progressives in New York
A is about the worst bit of political sop that a conven
tion has ever cooked up .in the name of progress. Out of
an opposition that was predicated upon the maladminis
tration of Taft and the rotten tariff legislation of his ad
ministration, conies gushings of sycophantic praise, eulo-
1 gizing him as the statesman pre-eminent, and upholding
tne aamnawc Aidncli-i'ayne tantt bill as a legislative boon
to mankind.
In the face of all this mush one might wonder what had
occasioned all the previous ruction, and it seems that this
query might go down in history with another celebrated
inquiry as to the identity of the individual who struck
"Billy Patterson."
What hope can the people expect from a "reform" that
wholly endorses and applauds the iniquitous measurps that

"The Lottery Mtm" ut the Mcdforil
theater lust niht drew a laro crowd.
"The Lottery Muu" in a comedy in
three acts, written by liiriu oJltnsoii
Young, lttda conceived n yery funny
plot, but worked it out rather lamely.
The counter-plot seemed to bo gath
ered up here and there with a view
to filling tit time between the import
ant events which developed the main
theme.
The actors in the east were not the
best. ' They were caricatures rather
than characters. Thev gave us n
cartoon edition of what iniizht bu
made a good legitimate comedy. Miss
Ogden us Lizzie Hoburts was the
chief fun maker, but even she over
drew her character. The situations
in nor part were particularly good, in
fact, in the parlance of the stage the
part would play itself, and if Miss
Ogdcn would tone down her extrava
gant expressions and try and repre
sent sonic human being that could In
found "in the heavens above or the
earth beneath or the waters under
tho earth" ;he would make a real bit
with the lover of legitimate comedy.
As to the young men who pluyod the
leadirig characters, they will some
day be good actors, but at present
llieir perplexities and merriment
seemed rather ferced: They apicared
to bo good-looking young men win
hud graduated recently from Klaw &
Erlanger's school of acting.
The above criticism may be a little
harsh, as the nudienco seemed to bo
thoroughly well pleased, and, after
all, there is no set rulo for making
the public laugh; but with tho mem
ory of Wilton Lackey's most excel
lent performance still fresh in our
minds it would indeed lake n com
pany of artists to follow such n per
formance as "Tho Hnttle" and not
disappoint a little.
Si Hut Mr. Ilnzelrigg is giving us n
fine Jot of entertainments, and with
"Stubborn Cindrella" as the next at
traction we certainly linve no reason
to complain.

A fONO the needs of Medford is a building inspector.
With large buildings going up on every hand and
a tendency to a dangerous economy in materials, that may
spell future disaster, fhero is need of municipal regulation.
Other cities have learned by costly experience. Med
ford should learn from thpir experience, and not .repeat
their mistakes.
Contractors assert that they are forced to follow the
plans dictated by owners. Walls have been and are being
erected of insufficient strength to stand the necessary
pressure.
Materials are being used, particularly in cement work,
which tests show are not suitable. Any responsible con
tractor knows this and will confirm it, but his objections
are overruled.'
It has been found necessary in other cities to enforce
building laws, and it is equally necessary in Medford.
One collapsed structure will spell greater loss than all
the saving effected on all the buildings by unsuitable ma
terials. ... '
