The weatherman is wniuloritig
liftt kind of inihiwieo the Valkyr
ies itscil' on .Tniiiter Pluvius ltit
W-ediii'sdny. lUrauo it mined the
ilny boforo, the same kind of weather
wn. jiredieted for tho picnic day,
and it poured down just as the Scan
dinavians returned from their Mid-Kiiininer-feast
on Wednesday even
ing. Hut during the whole day of
the frolic it was a jierfect southern
Oregon sunshine, nt least in Phoenix.
This may be partly duo to the suc
cessful afford of the Mople of that
town, especially J)r. T. J. Mnlnigren
and his wife, and the J. L. Johnson
fnrnily, to properly entertain visitors.
Towards dark a largo portion of the
population of Phoenix, headed by the
band, marched to T. J. KMi's grove
to sereundo tho Northmen.
Hut tho Scandinavian-! had jumped
and played, talked and flirted, eaten
and chanted the whole day until they
were hoarse and footsore; therefore
tho remainders packed themselves in
a transfer automobile and were haul
ed .to Medford, without being able, to,
participate in the final round up of
tho Phoenixitcs.
Tho picnic ground was decorated
with the various national colors; and
a beautiful May-pole occupied the
center, around which folk-games to
the tune of native singing were in
pcrptual motion during the whole
dny.
A short program of speaking and
singing was rendered; but the crowd
was in no mood for intelcctunl or ar
istio instruction. They were there
to have fun, and they got it. Dr.
F. 0. Swedenburg invited the society
to hold its next picnic in Ashland.
Yells of approval echoed through the
woods.
Telephones, railroads, and other
modern improvements hnve in later
yenrs largely crowded out the beauti
ful folk-games in tho Scandinavian
countries. Amusements have been
commercialized, oven under the shad
ow of the North Pole. Hardly uny
nltempts bavo been madn by the
Scandinavian Americans to introduce
those gaieties in this country. Tlip
guthering nt Phoenix was undoubted
ly ns fine re-production of the
set'iics of a typical Scandinavian
jwiuHummcr-icuhi 01 nuiuireds years
ago as has ever been presented in
America, outside of gonio of tlio lar
ger cities.
Over one hundred and fifty people
participated in the jollification. All
ages from eighty years to eight
months wero represented. A Yule
feast will bo held at Medford next
Christmas, when it is tho intention
of tho society to stage some of the
simpler folk-games.

Tn other words, the Anti-Saloon league, .which is a
political organization, nslSthe newspapers' of Oregon to
print free of charge, jiundreds of columns of. matter, advo
cating its propaganda and in addition requests Miat copies
of tho paper he sent it, also free of charge. The news
paper publisher is expected to give awav thousands o
dollars of space the only product he has to sell to help
salaried, hut non-tax-paying, non-residents dictate the
policies of Oregon.
If the efforts of the league are successful, it will he at
the expense of the country newspapers, while the league
officials, drawing increased salaries, invade other states,
leaving Oregonians to hold the sack and pay the piper for
the ensuing dance of disillusion and industrial depression
that inevitably follows adoption of state wide prohibition.
The other day tho Anti-Saloon league had a four col
umn advertisement in the Portland papers, paid for sit
high rates. If the league has money to pay the city pa
pers for its matter, whv not also pav the countrv press'?
vny discriminator dimply heoause the city pa pel's can
not be "worked," and some of the simple-minded coun
try editors can be, and the astute gentlemen managing the
League figure it a waste of monev, to pav for what thev
can graft.
Here is an Associated Press dispatch that explains the
system:
Portland, Ore, June UC. Prohibition party leaders and workers, at th
second day of their conference here, listened to addresses on how to carry
on r successful campaign. K. A. Howell, state publicity nt;ent o( tho
party, said that no movement ever succeeded without the help of news
papers, and ho detailed to tho state workers how to bo their own press
agents and "put their stories over" In tho newspapers.
Yet there is no dearth of money in the prohibition
treasury. Plans are made for the expenditure of tens of
thousands of dollars this year to make Oregon dry. Whole
sale invasions are scheduled from the cast." City papers,
bill-boards, speakers, halls, railroads, officials aiid work
el's are to be paid but the latter are instructed how to
"put one over" on the country press, which is expected
to deliver the goods without pav.
"When Representative Hobson failed by H0,000 votes to
secure the Alabama senatorial nomination, alter a veal's
campaign on a dry platform, the Anti-Saloon league at
once emploved him at a salary of $10,000 a voar. Other
league officials' are drawing similarly fanc.y.salariel.--.NTo
wonder the agitation is unending. Why should it cease,
when keeping it up provides such a fancy payroll? There
arc the general officers, the state officers, the division offi
cers, the county officers, the organizers, the agents, the
ward heelers, all drawing good salaries. There are ex-
governors, near statesmen, has-beens, lame-ducks, and ex
tanks, drawing pay as spell-binders. Several hundred
clergymen from boss-ridden rotten burroughs of the
east are coming to tell Oregonians how to manage the
state; they will be paid as well as their expenses.
There seems to be monev galore in fighting the demon
rum, for every one except the newspaper man and there
will be money for him if he demands it. His editorial
opinions, should be his own and not for sale his advertis
ing columns, in justice to his regular advertisers, should
be charged for at good rates to whoever pays the price.
If the laborer is worthy of his hire, the advertisement is
worth its price especially when the issue involved is poli
tical and economic, rather than moral.

"I think It is appropriate In re

when tho tariff bad been passed It
was found that tho readjustment was
posslblo without any serious disturb

o sense of rcller, 'Well, wo aro glad
to get that behind us and It wasn't
bad alter all.'
"Then came tho curroncy reform.
You romombcr with what resistance,
with what criticism, with what sys
