JOLTS AND JINGLES By Ad Brown A itlnil Tnhiiiin fm nt'CMioYnf ml choice shows that, the progressive wings of both parties are strongly in the aseendenev in .Jackson eountv. Though less than one- fifth the votes of the county were roeeived they eanie from nearly every precinct and enough were secured to clearly indicate popular sentiment. La Pellet le, if nominated, would undoubtedly carry both Medford and Jackson county by a huge majority. He would receive all the vote cast, for Roosevelt, who divided the progressive republican strength with him. lie would receive the votes ot many democrats wno named him as second choice, as Wilson would receive the votes of many republicans who named him as second choice. The surprising facts brought out by the plebiscite is the comparative weakness of Taft, who received only about a seveuth of the republican votes cast, and the stremrth of Brvan. who received nearly a third ol the democratic votes still the popular, idol of a large ele ment of liis party. "Wilson is evidently the favorite with the democrats, though n6t by much of a margin. Should Bryan be elim inated, he would receive nearly all the Jsrynu strength. Champ (Mark s large vote is due to there being so many NFissourians in this section. Harmon got the democratic stand-pat vole as Taft got the republican. Together they make a poor showing against their progressive opponents. Republican chances for success in an independent county like .Jackson depend entirely upon tho nomination of La Follette or "Roosevelt. Democratic chances rest upon the nomination of Taft by the republicans, Wilson probably boing the strongest of the democratic candidates with the people. -f -f-r-f- -r t 4- r flHf t UIIiIj ll.WliKV Kroin . - , r tho Chhitgo Kvoitlifg t American.

GENERAL MILL STRIKE MAY COME Over 20,000 Operatives Are Out ami 15,000 More May Follow Tonight Business Is Completely Paralyzed. r4LAWItFlNCK, Mass., Jan. 13. A general strlko of Now England mill worliurn is feared today as tho result Qt liotlng law, following yesterday's riiis increased revenue is directlv due to the appropria tions made by the last state legislature. Had it not been for Governor West's veto of seventy-odd bills, carrying over $700,000 additional expenditures, tho taxes would have been still further increased. Yet the Oregonian and other partisan organs have been hounding Governor "West nearly a year because he vetoed these measures. And now we will hear no word of appreciation because he kept the taxation from being much larger than it is. The pavrolls for the state institutions in suite of enlargements and additions, total $202,051 as against $205,997 for the same institutions in 1910, showing eco nomical management. Xot only this, but additional grounds have been purchased and buildings and roads constructed through the employment of convicts without appropriations to cover. Corporation.assessnient has been increased so that the corporations now bear a more equitable share of the bur den of taxation than formerly, femce 190o the Oregon and California railroad has been increased in valuation from $5,104,193 to $3(J,495,S25f the O. 11. & K. from $(,- 043,072 to $45,GS3,900, Wells Fargo & Co. from $10 000 to $G74,6S8, the "Western Union from $185,7-16 to $530,405, the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company from $1,170, 181 to $4,394,931, the Pullman company from $58,709 to $o74,80o and other eoiporations similarly. It makes no difference what the partisan press may howl, Governor est is giving the best business admin istration the state ever experienced, in addition to revo lutionizing the prison system and protecting land pur chasers under Carey Act irrigation systems. THE DETECTIVE. My CLTJRIC'S Magazine has a lurid picture of Win. .1. Burns "the great detective" for its cover illus tration this month. Indeed the self-satisfied complacent smirk of the nemesis of the JMcNamaras and numerous other crooks looks at you in the "boiler plate" of nearly every country newspaper in America and beams in the paresis sections of the great Sunday bundles of literary trash and ads. Why? Because Burns has performed a noteworthy feat in detective annals, therefore the public creates him one of the heroes of.the hour; because the detective's call ing has always had a strange lure for the unthinking, a lurid fascination for the half-baked, and a magic mysti cism for the romantic. hi spite of this, there is nothing admirable about the detective, except perhaps his cleverness. In fact, the oc cupation calls for all the unworthy, unlovable traits in human nature. . To achieve success as a detective, one must spy, sneak, simulate, deceive, pretend, betray and lie. All the ignoble qualities must be cultivated at the expense of the better. It is an open question whether the simple minded crook whoso friendliness to his simulating, spying, lying be trayer is the cause of his capture is not the more admir able character of the two. Certainly, stripped of its tinsel and tinkle, the detective's occupation is about as des picable a one as can be imagined. J t goes without saying that no detective can be a gentle man in the highest sense of the word. Vet though the judicious grieve, the detective hero is only exceeded in' popular estimation by the great crook. walkout of 20,000 operatives, who struck as a protest against a reduc tion of wages forcud through tho op eration of tho mandatory 51 hour stuto law.
