ROBERT 0. SMITH of Josephine county, democratic nominee for con
gress in tho first district, is n nativo son oC Jucktftm county, and
has behind him a legislative record in the state logislnlmo oC which
his Josephine county constituency nnd tho state may well bo proud.
Mr. Smith's career bognn in a most humble and inauspicious way in
incksonvillo when in his immatuio years and with tho hnndicap oC a deli
cate constitution, tho support of his mother and a family of children foil
largely upon his shoulders. Ny ft marvelous genius for learning and l
untiring ouerjry nnd application, nt tho ago of sixteen ho had fitted himself
in tho field of pedagogy and began his public career as a teacher in the
fechools of Klamath. Later he took Up tho study of law, in which ho showed
n rcmnrkablo proficiency, nnd after being admitted to tho bar soon rose to
a lending position iu the bar of Southern Oregon.
Removing to Joscphino CJimly, ho was elected a member of the Oregon
legislature at nn ago whon most young nyjn are coming out of tho pre
paratory school, here his genius for debate and his aggressive champion
chip of tho peoplo's interests soon won him tho title of "The Thunderer of
Southern Oregon.'' During tho two tonus ho served in the legislature he
was a leader in eery movomont for the people, nnd many of tho bene
ficial measures that adorn the Oregon statutes bear tho impress of hit
constructive genius.
Of nil tho nativo sons of Oregon, there are none more eloquent or
brilliant in debate. He is a, veritable encyclopedia of law and knowlodgos
n fountain of rhetoric nnd an encino of forco and itnpressivencss, but yet.
better than all these attributes of genius is his kind and loving personality.
Throughout tho leneth and breadth of Jackson county ho is known as
plain "Dob," and no grentor tribute could bo paid, to his democratic chnr.
ncter and the goodness of his heart.
In all his career nt bar he has never deserted tho poor or friendless
and the cases are without number where ho has espoused the causo of
tho penniless, giving tho In end of his genius ns freely to Larnrus as to
Dives.
If tho voters of this district send him to congress, Oregon Avill again
be on tho national congressional map and our "Hob." like Wisconsin's
"Little Bob," will bo found in the forefront of every battle whew spectr,
privilege seeks encroachment on the people's rights, his keen analytical
tnind searching ouC the colored gentleman in the woodpile of every corpo
lato measure introduced rand his voice thundering in the causo of the
people.
Jnykson county is justly proud of her native son, Bob Smith, and, irre
spective of party, every voter in the county should subscribo nt tho polls
to. the laudnble pride that old Jackson fcels..in her lovnblo nnd distin
guished son.

persecution is always resented nnd vitalizes those popular movements it
is intended to slaughter.
Socialism is a dream of the equality of man the old vision of tho snns
oulottism of tho French revolution liberty, frntprnity, equality, in now
form. It seeks by peaceable legislation to accomplish what suns-culot-tism
sought by bloodshed aud violence the betterment of the conditions
of humnnity, the overthrow of ennt, hypocricy, formulas and conventie: s
based upon injustice and falsehood. ,
To this extent, if wo are honest, most of us arc theoretical socialists,
for this is also the theory of real democracy. It is in tho ways and means
nnd methods whereby tho ends are to bo obtained thnt tho difference fol
lowsand there is difference in theories oven among tUe various scnoois
cf socialism.
Socialism offers a positive cure for socinl ill.'.. It purposes to sup
plant private monopoly with government monopoly to create a huge pa
ternalism and make all humanity a fraternity, and to do all this by legis
lation. Its weakness lies in tho fact that human nature cannot be
changed in a day by tho changing of a law, thnt all human progress i
painfully slow, and that the mismanagement of tho present limited func
tions of state auger ill for the management of the great paternnlism.
There can be no gaining the fact that any system of society which
tolerates poverty, misery and want, that creates tho billionaire nnd the
pauper, any system that plucks industry of its just rewnrd, is wrong,
fundamentally, cruelly wrong, and in its groping efforts to remedy, hu

BUNC0MB FAILS TO AROUSE
T T NABLE to find any real flaws in Oswald West, tho Portland Oregon
I I inn and other assembly organs are devoting themselves to long
tirades against Senators Bourne and Chamborlain.
Neither of the senators nre running for governor. Neither are issues
in the campaign. Both were elected by tho people oVer the opposition of
the Doliticians. Both represent the principle of popular government, nnd
as both stand for priuciplo.rnthcr than partisanship, both support West,
because his election is necessary to defeat assemblyisra.
It is campaign time, and tho usual amount of abuse is being heaped
upon candidates. And yet it does not interest tho peoplo much. General
npathy continues to command. The frenzied appeals fall upon donf ears,
and accomplish naught. The mountain of assemblyism is laboring and
bringing forth a mouse.
Vain are tho calls to partisanship, vain tho summons for harmony. In

victions save lust for office.

The "Welcome Sign"
The poivli light is the ' welcome sign" of the home.
That is, it is the welcome sign for the friend, but for the
intruder it is quite the contrary.
There is no woman who relishes being left alone in
the house after dark.
But it frequently happens that the man of tho houso
must be out for an hour or two on business or otherwise,
aud such hours are sometimes the most troublesome in a
woman's life.
All she has to db is switch on the light from the inside
and she is just as safe as if she had ten strong men in the
house.
Should a gentleman of the rustic highway come along
he will not think of stopping.
A porch light has a greater terror for him than a watch
do,, for sometimes he can make friends with tho dog.
Another thing with a porch light at your service, if
you tire indoors, you may get a good look at any evening
caller before opening the door. Turn on the light and use
your pleasure as to admitting them.
Every neighborhood is occasionally annoyed by tramps,
beggars, or other undesirable visitors.
Tbe electric porch light, generally adopted in a neigh
borhood, is tho most efficient moans that can be used for
keeping this class of people entirely away.
You know,' don't you, that there is only one kind of
porch light that amounts to anything, and that's an electric
porch light? No other light is of any account at all for this
purpose, because a high wind will blow out any other kind
of light except electric light.
Then again, tin eloctrioiporch light can bo switched on
from inside the house, which is a splendid advantage when
one wishes tojjeo who is seoking admittance.
On the other hand, when tho friends of the housewife
arrive for an evening call and ring the bell, her heart does
not jump out of its place aud palpitate for an hour.
