MANY HEAR SIORY OF HELEN KELLER Helen Keller, deaf, dumb nnd blind gouius cnlerlnmed tin armory full of people at Ashland Im-t night with it brief address following which hhe repealed and answered cptestiotw asked by the audience, conveyed to her by senee or touch by Mrs. Sullj-vnu-Mucy, for twenty-seven yearn her teacher. Miss Keller's speech w purely me chanical, intonation, inflection and emphasis being lacking. She is dif ficult to ttndcmtaiHl and her talking efforts somewhat uncanny. Her an imation and expression in conversa tion, however, contrasts strongly with tho stilled efforts of her speech. Miss Keller was preceded by Mrs. Knllivun-M'noy, who vividly and graphically told the story of her tu ition from a blind girl or six, through Kndeliffo college to her present po sition as an acknowledged thinker and toiler of world repute. The al most tiusitrtnountable difficulties overcome, tho patienco and ersevor itiico of both teacher and pupil make her case the most wonderful that ed ucational aunals record. About 150 Medford people attend ed on tho special train.

A DAY OF SOUNDING BRASS THE to ipnl of tho Vaiianm canal (oils oxiMnptiou clause is giving numerous oongrossnuMi a chauco for liriof oratorical flights of sprcad-caglc flulwlub for the hencfit of thoir home constituents. A glance at the leading house democratic dissenters to the president's program of repeal reveals his principal opponents as the staunchest representatives of the allied predatory interests Underwood, Champ (Mark and Fitz gerald. These "interests," owners of the shipping trust, naturally want special favoiv. It is constantly asserted that America built the canal, therefore American coastwise ships should pay no tolls, despite treaty obligations. It is true that the American people built the canal, but the American people own no coastwise ships therefore permitting the American coastwise ships free passage is simply special legislation for the benefit of tho ship' owners the shipping trust. Coastwise commerce in American ports is already con fined to American-owned ships. To give them free access lo tho canal would simply double the subsidy the people pay the tni$t, with its un-American policies and its alien crews. It will not benefit the American people. Our warlike and ferocious congressmen are spending much time twisting tho British lion's tail and prating of patriotism. The Hearst nnd tor war in Mexico are picturing nson and Uryan as abject subjects of King George. Xo resort to demagogy, no appeal to prejudice is'beneath these long-distance clam- Orel's tor blood. Because the administration does not follow the British policy in Mexico, recognize it is called weak and vaeuating. Because it recognizes the justice of Britain's claims for denounced as a British syncophaut. It is damned when it opposes England and dimmed when it favors, regardless of the merits of its attitude. Meanwhile the American play aud square dealing are for it, give him a fair trial responsible for the results. shrieks of the jingoes or the cymbals of congress. They are convinced ot ilsou s sin cerity and honesty, and are willing to give him a chance to prove his eflicicncv. llence and base misrepresentation arouses no answering echo among the people. CROP AND ORCHARD INSURANCE IT is estimated that at least $5000 was spent in one night in orchard heating to save the crop, not figuring the investment in equipment. The money was well spent as crop insurance. A recent grand jury, without any investigation or probe of the work done, ruled evidently by prejudice and folk lore, reported as follows upon the office of county patholegist: Wo respectfully submit that a large sunt of money Is being expended In a so-called pathological department which might better have been employed In field work in eliminating blight and respectfully recommend that as soon as the honorable county court cau terminate and abolish this depart ment such action will meet with much favor nmong the taxpayers. Jackson county had been paying a famous pathologist .$5000 for a year's services. These same services had saved several Years' crops. He was not out of the eountv two davs when the inmerative need of his services was felt. It cost the orchardists $5000 for the same amount it cost for the pathologist's services for a year. If the former was good crop insurance, the latter was not only crop but orchard and farm insurance. The pathologist's field covered not only the orchards, but the farms. There was no topic that he was not called upon for advice a consulting specialist in all lines of hor ticulture and agriculture. The need for such a scientific adviser is imperative. Agriculture has become merce. The dav of the fanner manages his orchard by the has forever gone. Modern or the grower will become bankrupt. The successful or chardist and farmer must use his brains and keep abreast of the tunes and give close attention to the details, or tail of success. A pathologist and meteorologist is an imperative neces sity tor .Jackson count v.
