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repealed and answered cptestiotw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

About 150 Medford people attend

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

opposes England and dimmed when it favors, regardless
of the merits of its attitude.
Meanwhile the American

shrieks of the jingoes or the
cymbals of congress. They are convinced ot ilsou s sin

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

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.
