HELPING TAFT
if .if.
WASHINGTON', March 12. Fur
ther evidence of tho manner in which
tho administration campaign mana
gers are conducting the fight for
delegates, has come to light in tho
form of a circular letter which Is be
ing sent to postmasters and other
federal employes throughout the
northwest
Tho letters received by the federal
employes in the northwest are very
delicately worded, and abound with
veiled threats and plastic praise.
Boundless enthusiasm is expressed
and It is declared without hesitation
thai- tho sentiment In favor of the
nomination of President Taft Is rap
idly growing. Hints are then thrown
out that tho asslstanco of all good
officeholders is needed.
The letters sent to postmasters In
tho northwest aro as follows, one of
tho originals having fallen Into the
hands of one not a part of the ma
chine: "I take this means of informing
you that a National Dureau has been
opened lu the Raleigh hotel, this city,
for tho purpose of conducting n prc
convention campaign in the interests
of President Taft.
"It Is the general belief that tin
administration of President Taft has
met with tho hearty approval of the
American people and that his renom
Inatlon at the hands of tho republi
can convention Insures party success
In 1012. From all parts of the coun
try comes cheering news of a decided
trend toward President Taft in pub
lic sentiment. As tho accomplish
ments of his administration aro be
coming better known, his popularity
Increases accordingly. He is a con
servative, safe and sane leader and is
unqualifiedly entitled to a second
torm. After u mosi careful and thor
ough Investigation of conditions in
every state In the union, wo are con
front that ho will havo a large ma
jority of delegates in the convention
and that his rcnomluatlon and elec
tion are assured.
"It will be tho aim of this Bureau
to conduct u dignified iind energetic
campaign in keeping with tho presi
dent's high conception of American
statesmanship. I would, therefore,
thank you to render such assistance
as you can, consistent with your dut
ies, and would appreciate an early
reply giving mo such information us
in your Judgment will facilitate tho
work of the Bureau.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) WM. B. McKINLEY,
Director."
COMMUNICATIONS.
To tlio editor Pushing over the
obvious sneer in tho editor's com
ment, up to increusiiifr tho assessed
yuluutiou, "Sure Mike," let me show
you how it could be dono to the great
ndvitntngo of the whole community;
thusly: on tho west sido of tho river
known us Sums valley, wo have about
10,000 acres of Innd that needs irri
gation; $1,000,000 expended on u
ditch would put water on the Inn J;
also put ten families where there is
ono non. Inoreaso the products of
thin community tenfold, something,
hy the way, (jrcntly to bo desired unci
indeed necessary before our taxes
nro increased. Increase the nssosned
valuation, not in the way tho worthy
editor had in mind.
W. J. SCOTT.
IT IS TO
VALTANTTjY olKivghiK windmills, (ho "Don Quixote of
the village press is fighting u wondrously brave bat
tle. The streets of Ashland resound with the clamor as
he whaeks away with the same weapon Sampson used
against the Philistines. Raneho Panza of Gold Hill,
astride his humble steed, emulates his worthy master.
This modern Don Quixote, recently iVoin Oklahoma, is
not content with attempting the rescue of imprisoned
maids of straw, hut seems firmly imbued with the idea
that the Almighty has delegated him. not only to attack
windmills, but also to run this section of the earth, and
perpetually scolding and stewing and nagging, he is fast
becoming the village pest.
Oir Don Quixote ranks with Doc Cooke as a discov
erer, and takes himself just as seriously. He has dis
covered many things that exist only in his own diseased
imagination. In fact, according to his explorations,
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
"Than thy philosophy hath dreamt of."
Everywhere devious snares and foul plots. Every
where i villain lurking in the black shadows, ready to
pounce upon the poor taxpayer. Only Don Quixote and
Dunn, tho Royal baking powder twins, absolutely pure.
Surely, the campaign waged by the Ashland Tidings
is n wonder. For unconscious humor, for unintended
satire for dense ignorance, for all around rawness, com
bined with malicious slander and venal falsity, in brief
for assininity, it is unparalellcd. It is so absurd that it is
ridiculous and can only be regarded as a .joke. .It cer
tainly is to laugh.
A NEEDED INDUSTRY.
THERE is no reason why the poultry industry should
not be one of the great assets of the liogue river
vallc-.
Climatic conditions are more favorable than even in
Petaluma. Two great markets, Portland on the north,
San Francisco on the south, will take all that can be pro
duced. The Commercial club reports that at least, a score of
persons have embarked in the poultry business around
Medford in the past few months. There are half as many
inquiries regarding poultry as there are about orchards.
The fact that both the Wells Fargo express and the
Southern Pacific are considering reduced rates and. spe
cial accommodations promises well for the future of the
industry. A great business can be' built up with proper
encouragement.
Poultry does not require the capital that horticulture
docs. It does not entail the risks of loss. It means no
long period of waiting until returns come in. It merely
requires industry. Its returns, while not as large, per
haps, as from fruitraising, are surer.
EXCURSION OFF
FDR THE FAIR
The Oregon special to the Panama
fair passes through Mcdford nt 11.50
o'clock Tuesday night and arrives tit
San Francisco at flrilO o'clock. Judge
W. M. Colvig, who was delegated by
the Commercial club to represent
Medford, was unable to go, and
Geonrc Putnam has been delegated
to represent the club on the excursion
and in the exercises attending the
selection of tho Oregon building site.
Col. P. L. Ton Velle nlso goes repre
senting Medford. Ashland will be
represented by Judge K. D. Uriggs.
The excursion is headed by Gover
nor and Mrs. West, the members of
the fair commission and 2o0 citizens
of the state, all sections being repre
sented. Tho special consists of sev
en Pullmans, dining cars, library
cars, etc. An eighth enr, filled with
Klamath representatives, will be add
ed at Weed.
San Francisco's welcome to the
"Oregon First" delegation will begin
with n greeting from a delegation of
exposition officials at Costa Kica,
two hours before arrival in the me
tropolis. It will, in fnct, begin lit
Shasta, where General Manager Fee
of the Southern Pacific passengor
traffic, will meet the special and per
sonally attend it into San Francisco.
Tho specinl will carry a "JO foot
Oregon fir which has been secured
by J. Fred Larson. It will
mark the chosen site of the Oregon
building. It will hear a plate with
tho werds: "This Oregon tir marks
tho site of the Oregon building sel
ected by the Oregon first delegation,
March H 1012." When the building
is constructed u two foot section of
tho fir mid the plate will occupy n
place of honor.
HOMER NEIL FINED
FOR KILLING DEER
Gaiiio Wardens Ilargadinc and
Hubbard brought Homer Neil before
Justice Hurt at Ashland Monday for
killing deer out of season. The of
fense was committed on tho Apple-
gate slope last Friday when a line
buck fell heforo n 30-110 rifle. Justice
Hurt, nfter hearing tho evidence, im
posed a lino of $50.20, which was
promptly paid.
The game wardens asked the court
for permission to take the venison to
the poor farm for the uso of the iu
m ut os thero and the request was
granted, it being in the power of the
justico to dispose of tho meal, which
is usually dono by burning.
