SK BIG LEAGUE
CHAMPIONS PLAY
If bouio Mcdlon! bnscbll fan or
magnate is venturesome cnongh lo
guarantee $i!oQ or more for a game
between tho Chicago White Sox of
the American Lcnguo and iho New
York Ginnta of the National League
this city will have mi opportunely of
seeing ''big league" ball soma time
this fall when the two great clubs
reach Iho Pacific coast on their tout
of the world.
A communication was received by
A. S. Uosenbnum, tho local reprc
hesitative of tho Southern Pacific
asking if mich nn amount could be
guaranteed the two clubs, the money
to be given whether the game wne
prevented by weather conditions or
not. This feature of the proxsition
does not look very good, but it h
thought that Iho tuoncy will be raised
and posted, as n game between two
such clubs would draw well and
would bo a paying venture.
Thq game if arranged will probably
tnkc place tho latter part of October
as tho White Sox close their league
season at Detroit October si. The

LEADS IN ROSES
The Hugh Dickson and Lyons' rose
have been mentioned as favorites for
a Med ford rose. Ilesidcs thc-e the
J. 11. Clark, tho Papa Gonticr, the
Pink Killnrncy, and tho Mnrcchal
Kcil have their supporters.
Tho J. H. Clark is n large red rose,
most beautiful; but not so rich in
color as tho Hugh Dickson. The
Papa Uontier is a deep pink rose
with n somenhot clonwnfr.l bud, but
rather too thin to be entirely satis
factory. Tho pink Killnrncy is nn attractive
rose, the chief' objection to it so far
suggested is its liability to mildew.
Tho beautiful Marcchnl Neil, a yel
low rose, most people arc familiar
with. It is a climbing rose but should
bo grown on tho south side, close to
tins houso to get tho best results.
Thcbc varieties all have their warm
friends, but tho JJugh Dickson Fcems
still to bo in tho lead. Much interest
is being manifested in this content.
Ik sure to cast your vote for your
favorite. Tho polls, at tho Exhibit

in roues, and who is a resident of

THE Clinton County, Iowa, Advertiser or recent (Into
contains an article by J'rof. M. L. JMoshei', Clinton
count v agricultural expert concerning the value of sweet
clover, which grows so abundantly on waste places in the
Kogue river viilloy. The following is an excerpt :
In Professor Mosher's recent trips Over tho country ho recently dis
covered what an Important place sweet clover had ou tho farms of this
community-. Ono Held of clover Covered 200 acre and Is probably tho
largest one In tho countr. Sweet clover ts much Uko alfnlfa for feeding
ami Is better adopted to this imrt of (he country than alfalfa, as that plant
yields tnoro valuable feed In tho western states, where tho drier climate
produces a more abundant crop of seed. Professor Mosher believe that
sweet clover will become a promlnout factor on tho farms of this county,
as tho raining of tt Is profitable, tho yield per aero averaging about n (ou
and a half of hay, whllo tho seed runs tiro to ten bushols to tho acre, and
is worth $ 12 a bushel. t
The dispiscd sweet clover, that grows with such abund
ance along the roadside, and on the rocky bars and waste
places along the streams ot the Kogue river, is coining into
its own as stock food in the middle west, and is being sown
in large areas.
About .five years auo a large feeder and shipper of
in Eastern Iowa eoueeivell the idea oc
that, while stock
must bo starved into eating this food before acquiring a
taste for it, that after the animals become accustomed to
it they preferred it to most any other diet, and the result
obtained from feeding it was so gratifying that the stock
man commenced sowing sweet clover for stock feed. Two
years later he topped The Chicago market with a carload
of steel's fed on sweet clover, and now sweet clover is a
leading stock food in that section of Iowa.
Farmers and stockmen of the Rogue river valley would
do well to investigate the merits of sweet clover and if it
proves a success (is a stock food, many waste places can be
made to yield an abundance of food for dairying, hog rais
ing and other profitable stoc,k farming.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SACKS SUGAR.
npiIK following excerpt from the report of the insidious
lobby inquiry is interesting:
O. C. Hamlin, who was one of tho sujjar lobbyists lit Washington,
wrote to C. 11. Warren, a Detroit sugar manufacturer, concerning tho pub
licity which papers In tho middle west had given to statements from tho
beet sugar men ami also to a 650 word statement that had been sent out
through the Associated Press. "I find that tho Associated Press has han
dled somo of our stuff in good shape." Hamlin wrote. "Whllo In Indian
apolis I took up tho matter of publicity with tho American Press assocla
tlon. This concern furnishes matter for tho country press. It Is not pat
ent insldo stuff but goes on tho outsldo of the paper as nows.
"After our securing an agreement with tho Associated Press to rnrrv
C50 words, tho eastern papers carried only about twelve lines. Havo writ
ten to .Mcivuio btono and asked that In tho future tho beet sugar Industry
be given at least equal treatment with tho eastern refiners."
Warren replied: "I do not think well o' your Idea of writing all the
papers that did not carry your Associated Press story. We have found that
whenever a paper is unfriendly to tho tariff generally or to the sucar tariff
Is approached the result Is nn unfriendly article. You probably will havo
to rely on getting out what yon can, and not find fault when everybody does
not carry an Interview."
If the insidious lobby inquiry accomplishes nothing else,
it has at least exposed the hydra head of the Associated
Press, and uncovered the Fsjiu role of Melvin Stone.
That the big interests had long been corrupting legis
latures and judges was not enough, they must subsidize the
very armor of the people's safety, the press.
If the associated press cannot clean its skirts of this
Judas, the newspapers and the people should see to it that
its sphere of activity is confined to its master patrons, the
trusts.

BREEDING ANARCHISTS.
fENERAL CHARLES J). ELLrOTT, who commanded
f the militia in war with the miners in West Virginia,
said to the senate investigation cemmittee:
Tho valloys were settled a century or so ago by two typos tho slave
owners and tho poor whites. Tho slave owners abhorred work.' Tho whites
drifted to tho hill regions, but need later drove them to tho mines. Uut
they are natural Americans and havo never been tamed.
h.on..tJ5 cayitnllstB camo to invest In West Virginia they figured the
cost or building a railway, tho cost of its equipment, tho cost of power, of
stores and of superintendents' houses. Ilut the homes for human worko.-s
woro constructed from debris with loss consideration than was given tho
stables of tho bank mules!
In theso sunless valleys, bound by walls of Iron, thcro Is no local trans
portation, there uro no stores, no theaters, no amusements nothing but
alcohol, ,
The mine owners couldn't tame these "naturalised
Americans" as they did the Huns, Italians, Slavs and other
foreigners imported to take their places but they have
further brutalized them by their savage efforts.
The constitutions, both slate's and nation's, have been
suspended, troops used in time of peace and the bayonet
of might superceded the court of .justice and. men ruth
lessly shot down like wild animals.
What could Jifc hold for these toilers except endless toil
with drunken debauches as recreation '(
Irc'itiiient such as that of the miners of West Virginia
kes natural Americans anarchists.
