tremendous slaughter of robbers l&
In progress today all over Kwangsl
province. Strong forces of troops
have been despatched from Kwellln.
tlio provincial capital, Into the bandit-Infested
districts. Tho soldiers
aro' bunting tho outlaws down like
wild animals, though often meeting
desperate resistance .and occasionally
bellig beaten off temporarily with
many soldiers killed. Tho number
of outlaws exterminated undoubtedly
will run well Into tho thousands.
Outlawry has been rampant
throughout Kwangsl since the earliest
days of tho revolution. First the
confusion encouraged the profession
al bandits to extreme boldness. Later
they were joined by hordes of nor
mally honest farmers who, suffering
from a serious crop shortage and the
commercial stagnation incidental to
tbe'revolutlon. turned robbers.

To the Editer: I would Hko to
ask of your readers how many will
help mo put up a creamery with the
understanding that tho butter is to
be given away and any deficit ex
isting is to bo made up by assess
ments on the stockholders?
Did any of your readers ever hear
of such a way to run a creamery?
How many creameries In Medford
could ruu a month on that sort or
u deal?
Well, wo have such a creamery
running now, and every last one of
thq farmers who wjirks his farm for
a living, and it not a 90 per cent
land speculator, Is one of the stock
holders. For many years UiIb cream

their hard-earned money to make up
tho deficit.

they havo been giving away to fore
stallers and speculators. Much of it
ha3 been stolen outright through per

thorn. Then thoy have assessed the
workers and producers and home
bulldors on their labor products to
mako up tho annual deficit, all tho
tlmo being In tho position of a
stockholder in a creamery who would
sit calmly by nnd watch tho butter

OF HE SE ROBBERS
THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS as a party aro in national
convention. Thoy see tlio world as through a glass
darkly. To them there is only one great evil and it looms
"before their narrow vision greater than all else, yet like
most other political doctors, they try to remedy the result
rather than eradicate the cause- and they have only one
cure-all for humanity's ills.
Anyone who has given the subject study realizes thai
the misery of the world apparently caused by alcohol is
due primarily to poverty. It is the hopelessness and bit
terness of life, and the "weaknesses and malformation of
character developed and inherited through this strenuous
futile strife for existence that produces alcoholism.
The niilleniuin can never be secured and the demon
rum relegated to a useful place until poverty is abolished
and a more equitable distribution of wealth secured, it
is the failure of civilization that want and hunger and
misery should exist in a world that produces abundance
for all.
"With undiminished ardor, however, the Prohibitionists
pre entering another national campaign. The keynote
speech of the chairman, O. N. Howard of Rochester, at the
Atlantic City convention bristles with denunciation of
both old parties as "boss ridden liquor controlled." lie
declared that nothing was to be gained from either of
them or from a third partv dominated bv Theodore Roose
velt.
"Xo other president since the foundation of this govern
ment,'5 declared Howard, "has surrendered more abjectly
to the liquor interest of this nation than has William How
ard Tatt. His record is too
odoriferous to require a review of this intelligent pres
ence." "We have already two whisky parlies and do not need
another." said the chairman, speaking of Roosevelt and
his third partv. "From the point of view of the Prohibi
tionists by his .Roosevelt, record, and by his public utter
ances and confessed personal habits he is the least desir
able of them all.
"Posing as the 'thou shalt not steal' candidate because
his partisans were not preferred over Taft's in the recent
convention at Chicago he brazenly boasts that he stole the
Isthmus of Panama from Colombia, and let congress de
bate about it afterward. If the Chicago convention played
the same trick they got the cue from him. His title to 'the
Panama strip was as good as the stolen Taft credentials
in the hands of the boss made delegates and no bettor.
'Stealing is stealing,' Mr. ."Roosevelt. "When you taught
that the end justified the means you gave every thief a
passport to heaven."
Roosevelt is just now the object of attack by the Pro
hibitionists. The Anti-Saloon league recently issued a
special edition of its organ devoted to proving Teddy an
habitual boozer and an occasional drunkard. It neglected
to name what brand of whisky he took, however, which
would have interested mauy? just as Lincoln was interested
in the brand that General Grant was said to be addicted to.
The Prohibitionist is hard to please. Not even Bryan,
who is a teetotaler, suited him. You must bear the pVohi
label, the only genuine extra dry, or your real prohi will
have none of vou.
Both Mutt and Jeff Oregon Men
(Roseuiirx Review.)
Ro.-ebuiv people who have enjovotl
inany n Jangli over the lunny and
clever cartoons of Mutt nnd Jeff will
be hurprNed to learn that the orig
inal of Mutt is a native of Douglas
county man nnd that of n Jeff a for
mer lherymnn of Hum. Ore. W. W.
Curd well, the well known Kosebnrjj
attorney, imparts this interesting in
formation. The prototype of Mutt
is Tom Stevens, who was horn at
Looking Glass, and the creation of
Jeff was inspired by the appearance
of "Seolty" Ferguson, the companion
of Stevens.
Stevens, who now lives at Burns, is
about G feet 4 incites tall and very
lanky. Ferguson died at Emeryville,
Cul., about it year ago. He was a
Scotchman, not over five feet higli,
with a bulldog face, as Cardwell de
scribes Iiiin, nnd with whiskers just
as they are pictured in the Jeff car
toons. Stevens is a professional
gambler, and mnny of the old timers
around here pronounce him the
.smoothest poker player that ever sat
at a card table in these parts. About
20 years ago he was sent to the state
penitentiary for a short term for lar
ceny. The rest of the story is told
by Attorney Cardwell thus:
"After Stevens was released from
the penitentiary he drifted out to
Hiiriis and fell in with Ferguson, who
was conducting a livery stable which
lie established with savings of $8000
or $10,000 from wages earned in the
employ of old I'clo French, a heavy
laud owner in that locality in those
days. Stevens and Ferguson became
fast friends and ultimately business
partners Unit is, Steven furnished
the ideas and Ferguson the money.
Their chief hobby was race horses.
One day they decided to go to Emery
ville, Oil., where the race horso game
was then in the heyday of its exist
ence. Thoy invested in several good
nags and for u time fortune smiled on
them. Hut tlio inevitable happened.
Their horses began to come under lhe
wire too late and their money gradu
ally left them. It was during this
period of reverses that the idea of
tho characters of Mutt and Jeff was
born in the mind of 'Hud' Fisher, the
Examiner cartoonist. When a Stev-cns-Forgufion
horho lost a raco, tho
two men would immediately turn on
each other with volleys of euibo laden
words of blame within plain enr.sl.iot
of tho amused spectators,
Tho sight
recent for laminar and too
of this ill assorted pair so frequently
engaged in exchange of invective lie-
came me suojeci 01 Humorous rom
jnent anion:: the sporting fraternity
and Cartoonist Fi-her hit iiHn the
plan to put them in picturcdom on
the sporting supplement of the Exam
iner. It made a big hit from the start
and it ultimately put Fisher in the
front rank of America's Inngh tank
ers. "Stevens finally drifted back to
Hums when the California legislature
put a stop to the racing game. The
shock was too much for Scntty, how
ever, and three months later he 'cash
ed in' for the last time."
FIRST SALE OF PEARS

Tho first sale of Ilogue river pears
for tho season of 1912 was mado yes
terday by tho Rogue River Fruit &
Produce association, through Its Bell
ing agent, tho Northwestern Fruit

Tho pre-harvest campaign In a
special feature of tho work of tho
Northwestern Fruit Exchange. With
u hundred nnd fifty branches In
America and Europe, tho exchange
Is in a position to put northwest fruit
before practically every buyer on tho
two continents.
This sale Ktarts the season well. It
speakH well for tho "Red Triangle
brand" of fruit packed and guaran
teed by tho Rogiio River Fruit &
Produce association, as this sale was
mado sololy on tho reputation of tho
"Red Triangle brand," which is be
ginning to bo widely known.
Tho association Is building up a
business behind tho "Red Triangle
brand" which will bo permanent and
afford a market for Roguo river fruit
year after year.

OF.S MOINES, In, July 11- Col
onel Roosevelt won a decisive victory
In tho republican state convention
last night and the Taft administra
tion and managers of the recant na
tional convention at Chicago were
severely rebuked, lite republicans
of Iowa were Ieft,,freo to vote for
elthor Taft or Roosevelt by the action
of the delegates.
The matter was loft entirely to the
"Individual conscience of the voter,"
and n platform containing a direct at
tack upon the legality of the Chicago
convention was adopted by an over
whelming vote.
Tho progressiva dominated the
convention from beginning to cud.
Despite a hard struggle, led hy Gov
ernor Carroll, a Taft adherent, to se
cure nn Indorsement of tho national
platform, an amendment offered by
Iowa's executive containing this In
dorsement was laid on the table, 773

Tho platform adopted takes a def
inite stand for woman suffrugo and
tho legislature Is naked to submit tho
question to a vote of tho people. Im
mediately after tlio adjournment of
the convention the progressives at
tended a meeting at which plans for
a now third party were adopted.
