Don Holding, rnorabor of the junior clos of the public school, lies in the Good Samaritan hospital suffering with n ijullet wound in tho left thigh, the wound having been received Wednes day night while lidding and sir oth er, of his schoolmates were out for an automobile ride in earner's big Cadillac car, the machine being driv en by Tyrrel Gamer. The senior class of the high school was picnicing at the Fruit Grange hall in the afternoon, and it is reported that tho juniors mado up this party to go to the scene of the picnic, and make a raid on the com lhis'.ary denartraent. The automo bile with the seven juniors left town just after dark, Belding riding on, the running board .of the machine, A 32-calibre revolver was in the party and shots were taken at scurrying jack rabbits along the highway, the liight being brightly moonlight. When near the last turn in the road befo'e reaching the grange hall tho bovs say they passed a pedestrian, ano immediately thereafter fired two shots, at rabbits. A third shot ?5 fired and young; Belding cried out that lie had been shot, those in the car not at first taking the remark seriously. When the driver saw that Helding IibcI really been wounded, the car was at once turned back and a hunt made for the man by the road side, so members of tho pnrty state, though he could not be found. 45DAYSJAM100 FOR ONE BOHLE BOOZE GRANTS PASS, Sept. 27. Forty five duys in jail und a fine of $100 is what it cost Lee York to sell oie bottle of "booze." Judge Calkins of the circuit court has affirmed .ho sentence imposed on York when !i; was convicted in tho police court, York having been a second' time con victed when his case was appealed from tho lower tribunal. In passing sentence Judge Calkins said that this was the third time tho convicted man Intel been found guilty of violation of the law in selling li quor in prohibition territory and that he was not inclined to deal leniently tinder such circumstances. He said it was either for of ficiula to wink nt the violations of the liquor Iawst or to sentence adequately in cases like this. He therefore affirmed tho judgment of the police court, sen (encing'York to 45 days in tho city jail mid to pay it fine of $100, tho City t(i have judgment against him for the costs of tho prosecution.

The firo was discovered about 5 o'clock, at which time the entire bam wus nblne. !J Thorp is estimated to havo boon from 140 tons of hay upwards, in the barn, tho hay being purl grain and part alfalfa, und was worth from $12 to J5 per ton. Tho burn was built six en,rs ago and was worth 1000i There Was $500 insurance upon the barn but none upon tho cutouts. Tho cause is unknown. T MMDrOMD FHINTINd CO. TH1 ORACLE HARRY Lane might as well drophiatoandidaev. Tho oracle has spoken. Tho Mcdford Sun litis solemnly passed judgment upon him Iir. Lsnn nlalnlv shows he lacks Impression In tho senate' than a. cold perienced, more confident, more tnclslvo man la needed. Ho should bo in harmony with tho progressive Ideas ot tho day, but nhovo all ho should bo a lrian ot spirit'. If you see it in the Sun, it must he so. As a journalistic Solomon come to judgment it. divides honors only with its Bull Moose twin, tho Ashland Tidings. The Sun is of eourso, a. progressive oracle. Until quite recently it was not only convinced itself, hut tried to make its rentiers believe that Taft was the only siiuon-pure pro gressive in the field. Even the policies of Jjji Iollotto were a subject of ridicule in its columns and his progros sivoness derided. But like Saul of Tarsus, the Sun saw a great light when humped by the primaries the love light of Teddy's glass-rimmed eyes. Since then it has aimlessly wandered about in the hypnotic trance of the hero-worshipper. The people of Oregon did not find Harry Lane kicking in the punch, when ho reorganized and modernized the state insane asylum, ended the reign of gratt, lessoned its post and improved its conditions. The people of Portland did not find Harry Lane lack ing the punch, when, deserted by his executive hoard aud fought by a corporation dominated city council, ho single handedlv stopped the steal of citv streets and valuable franchises, the paving steal and the grafting contractors. The vicious and criminal elements of Portland who tire now so bitterly opposing Governor West's vice crusade, did not find that Harry Lane lacked punch enough to clean up the eity, stop open gambling, cut out saloon and res taurant boxes and side entrances, close bawd houses and force liquor dealers to ,obpy the law, and for this reason these elements are todayNDpposing his candidacy. Lack of nerve or courage, lack of stamina, lack of back bone, lack of decision cannot be truthfully charged to Harry Lane. He has them itll in abouudance, and in addi tion is a progressive democrat in all that the words imply. Poverty is not a reason for electing any man senator, but it is a better reason than the possession of wealth; and that is the chief reason advanced by Ben Selling for his own election. Mr, Selling boasts of being a successful business man who has honestly acquired great wealth. Mr. Selling has the acquisitive instinct of his race, he has made money on every pair of pants sold, but this is no qualification for representing the people in making laws for their benefit. If it was the senate would be filled With pawnbrokers. There ,is an historical instance of money changers being scourged out of the temple and history is repeating itself. Harry Lane is not the ordinary campaign orator. The j ounding brass and tinkling cymbal and the strained catch phrases, the forced epigrams that so long fooled the people arc lacking. But the people are quick distinguish between sincerity and hollow pretense and they appreciate sin cerity. But as an orator Harry Lane is a veritable -Paniel Webster when compared with Ben Selling. The senatorial situation in Oregon is still in the air. So great is the dissatisfaction with Mr. Selling, that ef forts are being made to run Senator Bourne as an inde pendent his defeat at the primaries being due to money illegally spent. Mr. Bourne has not yet indicated, hfs course. When he does, the final lincs'of battle will be drawn. At present the struggle is between Lane and Selling. Of the two, Harry Lane, whose nomination was forced upon him without solicitation upon his part, is infinately to be preferred to Ben Selling, for whose nomination large sums of money were illegally expended. Aldrich Money Plan By E. L. MqCliire Alfred Owen Crozier of Cincinnati has written a series of 38 articles on the "new money question," which constitutes a most comprehensive arraignment of the Aldrich plan; but fails to supply any remedy for the defects of the gold standard, which hi tho .fundamental evil pf money; and no financial system can estab lish stability of value in anything until the standard of value is made fixed and unchangeable. The vast power of the Aldrich cen tral bunk is given under three hendt as follews: (1) It can inflate or con tract money circulation by issuing one, five or ten billions of paper money, to be loaned to tho people at six per cent or more for its own profit, and when it finally depreciate in n punio it will demoralize ull busi ness and u ruinous loss will fall on tho people (2) Inflation of currency makes money cheap and mixes the cost of living. When prices are high busi ness is prosperous aud creates an in creased demand for labor. Contrac tion of currency produces tho oppo site effect, and tho bnnk having the power to inflate or contract tho cir culationof money, at will, tho finan ciers on' tho inside of the central bunk cuu speculate with certainty, and take tho wealth of tho country from those who have created it by toil and effort, by producing a punio which will make them powerless to oppose, their ruthless demands. (II) It has tho power to fix tho interest rato and ruiso or lower 'its general discount rate. Reduction of interest rates stimulates speculation, raises prices and creates1 prosperity.

Under "elasticity" Crozier shows something of the stupendous profits of banking the aggregate credit loans of the banks of the United States is ten times the total cash they possess. Ninety per cent of ull bank deposits is simply inflated credit, Their total cash reserves are about one and one-half billion dol lars, but their aggregate Joans ox coed fifteen billions. Six per cent on over $13,000,000,000 of debits that cost them nothing is "specinl priv ilege" of priceless value. It amounts to $780,000,000 every year. The proposed plan is to require the government tp exchungo now 50 year 3 per c-ent b&nds For $774,000,000 of 2 per cent bonds, un immediato in crease of HO per cent in tho annual interest burden of the government on such bonds. If they run to muturity it will cost the government $372,000, 000' more for tho extra interest on tho $774,000,000 of 3 per cent bonds than it would have paid on tho 2 per cent bonds. The control of the central bank is placed in the hands of fivo irrespon sible men operating in secret without uny effective public regulation or re straint, They nr a majority of tho executive committee of nitio of the national reserve association. They havo all power between meetings of the board. Under "absoluto power" Crozier says "the power to iucronso mid dc oroaHO the supply or quantity of money and bank credit, mid tho inter est or price churged for same, is tho power of absoluto life and death ovor 24,302 banks and tho business of every individual and corporation in the United States." "Wo havo shown that if this dan gerous 'elasticity' should be carried 10 tho extreme, it would cause general panic, disaster, bankruptcy und ruin. MEDFORP. OttEQON, JTODAY. SEPTEMBER 27, .10.12.
