Santa's Vacation.
Old Santa was bitching his reindeer
one night
Prepnrmj once more for his aorial
flight
When ho wondored what people would
think or would say
If he skipped them just once and
staid home for the duy.
Ho found that people gave prosonts
tho sarao. .
As when he was there to mix up in
tho game.'
I'is absence, he thought, was entire
ly unheeded
He sighed and decided he no more
was needed.
When Santa finds out there are poo
pic below
Who give with an objcot of prestige
' or show
That others give only that they mny
receive.
And barter and bargain on Old
Christmas Kvc,
He'll hitch up his roindeor as he did
boforo
And visit our houiotops and chim
neys1 once more.
Most cvoryone ha.6 broad ideal as
to how others should spend thuir
money.
Nothing makes tc small towns bo
mad as when a train goes through
without stopning.
Muble Oilhunri Corey is writing a

STACKED
TllV. expodod happened. The republican national
conunitteo overwhelmingly defeated (ho resolution
favoring the popular nominal ion of presidents by snowing
under the endorsement of the presidential primary by a
vote of 44 to 7.
The progressive fstetion in the national committee
hardly made a showing. How could it, when a progres
sive state like Oregon is represented by a reactionary like J
Kalpli Williams? (
The republican organization is stand-nut to the core.
Politicians of both parties unite in one things opposition '
to any legislation permitting tho people to rule. Lot the'
politicians do the nominating and tluvy don't cav'u how the!
people vote, for 'what choice, have the people, in choosing
candidates for "president?
President Tuft controls the national committee and
intends to force his renominatiou. This is easily done.
Through federal patronage the administration controls
the republican delegates from the south. These with New
York and Ohio and one or two other delegations are suf
ficient to nominate.
La Pollette might be nominated, if the people had a
voice, but they probably won't have, except in the few'
states where a presidential primarv governs. Still he um !
develop strength enough to show tho folly of renominat
ing T aft, in which case Roosevelt might stampede the con
vention but the cards are stacked for Taft and probable
defeat.
HARD UP FOR CRITICISM.
Wnp HERE is more rejoicing in the columns of the
-- Orcgonian over the one paroled or 'trusty' pris
oner who is lost, no matter whether he is found or not.
than over tho ninety and nine that went not astray."
This remark by the Salem Journal hits the nail on the
head.
The Orcgonian is endeavoring, by every means in its
power, to discredit Governor West and his administration.
Tt speaks volumes for the executive that the only fault
this blind partisan lifts been able to harp upon is West's
humanitarian prison policy.
Prison records for 1911 show abolition of cruelty, more
liberty granted prisoners and fewer escapes than any pre
vious year. v
The story of the year shows many prisoners engaged
iu useful work and making a profit for the state some
thing unknown before.
Contract labor, whereby the state gave private firms
the use of. convicts and the profit of their labor, has been
abolished by this administration.
Cost of maintaining the state institutions, including
the penitentiary, has been materially reduced.
State property, such as the prison farm, the brick
yards, the grounds of the various state institutions, has
been improved and enlarged without additional cost to
taxpayers, through the convicts.
Miles of public highway have been constructed at nom
inal cost through the loan to counties of prisoners, and no
fresh outbreak of crime has followed.
. Prisoners have been placed on their honor and sent to
work without guard in the forest 300 miles from the peni
tentiary, without violating their 2ledgcs, as on the Crater
Lake highway.
None of these things are
Orcgonian. However if a poor weak-minded and foolish
trusty breaks away there
delectable contemporary, as
censure upon the "failure" of
A NEGLECTED
SEVERAL carloads of eggs are shipped into Medford
yearly. "Why?
A few years ago eggs and poultry were exported. Now
they are imported and the only excuse is that we have
been so busy with apples and pears that we have over
looked the humble hen.
The Oregon Agricultural college issued a bulletin
commending the Rogue river valley as one of nature's
favorite regions for poultry. The Medford Commercial
club issued a pamphlet, setting forth the valley's advan
tages in this regard. Still but
try business.
There is a great opportunity calling for the poultry
fancier here. All varieties of
even Petaluma is better for
for the turkey. Each place exports thousands of fowls find
Petaluma millions of eggs.
"When the local market is supplied, there is the Port
land market, growing every
