JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad. Brown.
Ami now let's quietly consider this
democratic convention.
.A convention is n place where poli
ticians meet every four years to learn
how to mix new drinks nnd to follow
their instructions from home on at
least two ballots.
No party, however, preat, can ab
solutely control a monopoly on the
steamroller.
Speaking of names Tnft has ap
pointed n new general named Chase.
Chase, the general is good.
Clarence Darrow and the Fourth
of July will have to get along as best
they can, until after the Baltimore
session.
.
''Let's have one church in Medford
nnd
let everyone go td it," says
Medford editor. Impossible in,
fishing community.
There seqms to be a strong under
current in Medford in favor of nom
inating Bud Anderson on an indepen
dent ticket.
Anyhow, he got Abe's label.
One idea of a foolhardy thing to do
is to argue which side of the creek is
the better to live on.
Says Theodore, '
"I will ignore .
What they may do
At Baltimore."
In the matter of whiskers, for in
stance, the dems have Kern and J.
Ham Lewis against Hughes for the
S- o. p.
No Place for Harmony
When the Murphy hussars and the
Hearst -drrigaoij,4t, i4
Joined forces tit Baltimore,
Fair Harmony primped her golden
locks
And sidled in the door.
But, alas, for the hopes of the radicnt
lass,
Tlint she should there remain, ,
For the Bryan' brigade rose tip "in
mass
.And chased her out again.
When Harmony dwells with a bunch
of crooks,
A rose 'mong paper flowers,
We kick the traces 'long with flilt
And shout "discord for ours."
HOOD RIVER FRUIT
CROP DISAPPOINTING
tJHOOD RIVER,, Or., Juno 2C.
Early estimates of tlio Hood River
valley applo crop, ma do from bloom
prospects and loaded fruit spurs,
have been greatly reduced by experts
and experienced orchurtfists, who
hnvo Investigated the orchards dur
ing tho past wook. Tho latest esti
mates of tho crop rarigo all the way
from COO, 000 to 8000,000 boxes.
"From my observations last weok"
says W. H. Lawrence, fruit Inspector,
"tho valley should have 800,000 box
es of fruit, If tho apples reach tho
sipto which prevailed year before last.
If tho fruit 1b small, as It was last
year, wo will have but fow boxes
inoro than 700,000. Every prospect
seems to point to a big apple this
year. Tho weather conditions have
been Ideal for perfect apples."
Charles 1J. Sproat, manager of tho
National Apple- sompany, says tho
crop of commercial apples will not
exceed COO, 000 boxes "I do not ln
cludo In this," says Mr. Sproat, "tho
cujls and lower grado fruits, which
-will bo consumed at home and neigh
boring markets. M I mean by my state
ment tia wowli nttt 1iuyg moro than
GOO.OOO boxen of first" cidsu 'and extra
fiiucy fruit." j
THE ONE
WT NT twenty-five years of political strlig&le. I have fouifcl
JVnio groat issue overshadowing all others tlio en
croachment of the powerful few on the rights of the many.
All the issues of today are but phases of this one great
question. How shall the individual, the farmer, the work
er, and all those who pay tribute, be set free from the
unjust exactions of the tariff, the railroads, the money
power, and other forms of oppression by special interests?"
This is from Senator La .Follette and represents the
protest of insurgency.
This great issue' adopted by Theodore Roosevelt, was
the cause of his endorsement bv the people in the recent
prima rv campaign, his defeat at the hands of the fraudu
lent convention and the inspiration for his independent
Candida ey.
But long before La toilette's awakening and during
the veal's in which Roosevelt was permitting the encroach
ment of the few on the rights of the many, Bryan was
making the fight single-handed. The first battle of I8i)(
was fought with this as the real issue, and his every defeat
has strengthened and emphasized his principles, because
he has fought for the right.
The Rvan-Belmont hosts of special privilege, cap
tained "by professional politicians like Murphv, Tagirart
and Sullivan whom they finance, weiv able to elect the
eaetionary Parker, darling of the predatory rich, as chair
man by an alliance with the amiable but mediocre politician
Champ Qlark, but their margin was so small that it is
doubtful if they really control the convention.
Bryan's defeat at the hands of this element only
strengthens him and his cause with the people. Tf the
convention repudiates him, as it has started out to, and
iiominat.es a reactionary the democratic party will lose
its onlv excuse for existence.
THE LIFE WORTH WHILE.
A RATHER remarkable story by IT. G. Wells is running
in the American magazine entitled "Marriage." In
it.pne of the principal characters, a successful businessman
says:
'I've got Into this stupid Struggle for winning money, and I feel as a
woman must feel who s made a success of prostitution. I've been prosti
tuted, i reel like some one fallen ami diseased. . . . Business and pros pres pros
tituteon: they're the sanit thing. All business Is a sort of prostitution, all
prostitution Is a sort of business. Why should one sell one's brains any more
than one sell one's body? . . . It's so easy to succeed if one haB good
brains and cares to do it and doesn't let one's attention or imagination wan
der and it's so degrading. Hopelessly degrading. . . . I'm sick or
this life. Marjorle. 1 don't want to buy things. I'm sick of buying. I'm
tired of things and the getting of things. I'm at an end. I'm clean nt nn
end. It's exactly as though suddenly In the midst of walking through a
great bouse one came on a passage that ended abruptly In a door, which
opened on nothing! Nothing!
" Oh, why should the life of every day conquer us? Why should
generation after generation of men have these tlrio beginnings these splendid
dreams of youth, attempt so much, achieve so much, and then, then become
this! Look at this room, this litter of little satisfactions! Look nt your
pretty books there a hundred minds you have pecked at, bright things
of the spirit that attracted you as Jewels attract a jackdaw. Look at tho
glass and silver, and that silk from China! And we arc in the full tide of
our years. Marjorle. Now Is the very crown and best of our lives. And
this Is what wo do, we sample, we accumulate. For this we loved, for this
we hoped. Do you remember when we were young that life seemed to
splendid It was intolerable we should ever die? . . . The splendid
dream! The Intimations of greatness! . . . The miserable failure!' "
Such reflections as these come to every one who toils
and works and thinks. Those who don't think, arc not
troubled with them.
Unless there is a ;jo3T in the work itself, in the effort,
struggle and mastery, it soon becomes a wearisome grind,
no matter how much success follows.
Particularly joyless to the thinker is the "stupid
struggle ot winning money." The man who works simply
to make or accumulate money, soon finds his occupation it
revolting one. It is necessarily so, because it is a purely
selfish one and all occupations that tend solely for selfish
ends are degrading.
The person who finds life worth while is the one who
lives for others besides himself, who cares for humanity
enough to strive to benefit it, and tries to follow the golden
rule, who enjoys his work and the mastery of its problems
and takes a zest in his recreatio'ns, who appreciates nature
and its beauty and tries to do right as it is given him to see
the 'right.
As long as we are self-centered and work solely for
self, the "life of every day conquers" and steals the zest
pessimism replaces optimism because we don't work for
anything worth while
Futility of Reform
By E. L. McClure.
The Chicago convention gave the
greatest exhibition of the futility of
lenders of the people's cause to fight
the invincible money power in a nom
inating convention. The power of
corruption has been reduced to u fine
art, the bossed of eery party feed
from the "pork burrel" and the selfish
interest of the greatest politician is
capable of being "reached" by tho
machinations of mammon. How is it
possible for the people to be served
by representatives in nny organiza
tion, tho money power choose to cor
rupt, with a "jork barrel" of unlimit
ed dimensions? The money power
is absolute while gofd'is (he standard.
No state, organization or policy can
oppose the invincible power of might
with a weaker power. Every victory
for tho people in the past has proved
an ignusfatuiis, for, whatever victory
thnt uppears to dethrone tho money
power, they only permitted it as n
matter of expediency, mid immediate
ly nullified it by coercion, or u trick,
like Antony's reading' a clause in
Ceusar's will.
It plays the political game with
consummate skill and wastes as little
energy as possible in coercion. Tho
filial result: "The administration
must (ako order", is as inevitable us
that the power of might is irresistible.
The skillful manipulation of the prim
aries requires the least coercion, and
following in sequence, tho nominating
convcritlohs, the! election of officers,
and filially he administration itself,
which may have lo pass through panic-
GREAT igfcufc.
by Organization
tor revolution, ori chaos but whatever
may result whether socialism, con
servatism, or a-mnn-on-horse-bnek,
emerges as ruler of the state, it must
"take orders" before prosperity can
be restored, which can only exist with
an abundant circulation of money.
Bryan has found tho Baltimore
convention packed. Kern, his own
selection for temporary chairman, de
clined to run against his friend bar
ker. Bell of California, was reeking
with pork barrel ethics, and not a
singfe democratic warhorse could be
found to be stuudard-bearer for pro
gressive principles. The steam-roller
appears to bo in as perfect order
in Baltimore on the opening day of the
convention as it was throughout tho
Chicago convention. If the democratic
nominee "takes Orders" in advance
the sumo as Tnft, then what There
may bo two organizations of pro
gressive parties. If tho number of
parties in the field divido the dele
gates to the electoral college so that
no nominee has a majority of the
electoral college, the election reverts
to a crude electoral body of congress
men designated by state representa
tion with possible failure of election,
so that thero remains a wide field
for speculation as to what will bo the
outcome, and at last thero can be no
Cbeupo from "hiking' orders" no mut
ter who muy be" eleott'd president.
Money power cannot bo regulufoil
or controlled, and must bo destroyed
by demonetizing gold rind adopting
scientific money arid unless the pro
gressives include tho mouey question
As thu Who tlley will ht ftt helpless
to givo thu people freedom and pros
perity ns thu old partii"t hnvo been.
Tho nlilioriviii'ti of money rule ta 'is
universal as tho kimwhldgo of its
power and it only needs u dissemina
tion of tho truth for scientific money
to bo adopted tlumiimotwly, but as
long as no ono iHsoiihsc the iliosliou
the people will remain ignorant of tho
tvini'dy. But if any one of tho popu
lar candidates promulgate tho princi
ples of scioutifio money it wtulld be
come conation knowledge in one cnln
pnigu for tho greatest economists
cannot refute the fact that scientific
money is a perfect remedy for till the
defeots of money, which should he ap
parent to every render of thu Milil-
'Irihiine because ihey can rest ns
miiyiI that it would have been tefiited
in the.se columns befoie now if it wore
possible to do so.
The author called on W. J. Hrviin
at his residence- in Lincoln, Neb., just
after his nomination in MMkS in an
effort to induce him to adopt s,ien
tifio money. He asVil many perti
nent questions during my presentation
nt the subject but refused to discu-.s
the matter, said the campaign had to
be fought on the Issue- presented by
the democratic platform. I replied
that Tnft had raised new issues since
the republican convention adjourned,
and that no one was more capable of
raising new issues than W. J. Bryan.
He replied that no one was big
enough to tell the pisipte what they
wanted. All any one could do wijs to
find out what the people wanted and
give it to them. I replied that the
people did not know -nhat they want
ed. They knew things were decidedly
wrong and were following lender
thev believed would remedy them ami
if he would almw the people how he
could destroy money Her he would
be elected by an overwhelming ma
jority, but if ho ndmiUed, as ho must,
thnt he could not oppo-c money pow
er, he would he defeated. He refused
to discuss it and lost. There is a
show for him to retrieve his error ami
win the greatest victory in the world's
history and give the people prosperity
and freedom forever by adopting
scientific money.
GROWERS
The prospects arc good for a bumper fruit crop
in the Pacific: northwest. We would advise till grow
ers of Peaches, Apricots, Cantaloupes, Tomatoes, Po
tatoes, etc., to get in touch with us. It is a part of our
business to find a market for the fruits and produce
grown in the valley. We have our arrangements
