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.

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.
