Tho Hwedlsh stoma- r OrNtui, from I'oituKiil (or (lothou. bury, Swinlou, hit u iniiio londay In . Ik KtJrtk , and sank off Cux- 1( Itavim, five member of hur .crew SO MUCIIhns been accomplished under tho miliums! ra tion of Woodrow Wilson tlutt we aro iiono to forgot sonic of tho important acts of a history-making time. The tariff measure, scholars and real statesmen pro nounced, the most just this country ever lived under. Tho income tax is a long-deferred piece of legislation that places this country along the line of progress being followed by tho leading nations of the world. The currency legislation enacted against the protest of the bankers of tho country is hailed as the first great slop in tho emancipation of the people from the strangling grip of the most damnable of all, the money trust. Tho Alaska railroad bill and allied measures aro the greatest steps in conservation of natural resources this country has ever taken, and will prove tho second step, being next to the Panama canal, in teaching the people how to escape the bludgconings of monopoly. ' The trades commission bill is a charter of liberty for tho small business man, who for a quarter of a century has been at the mercy of the great industrial trusts. The Clayton anti-trust measure, pronounced by cx Presidcnt Taft as the greatest law enacted in twenty-five years, will stay the hands of the destroyers of competition and business liberty. But important as all these measures sire, beneficent as they will be in practice and in operation, they are tho least of tho great acts of a twenty months' old administration. "Woodrow Wilson has performed a greater service than can be found in all these laws, or in his avoidance of war with Mexico, because he has restored the confidence of the .American people m meir govorjiiiium uucausu no wis re stored the power of their representatives in congress to legislate for the people. For fifty years the congress of the United States has not been the legislative body of this country. For fifty years the laws of the people of tho United States have been made by what is known as "tho lobby," and congress has simply enacted what the lobby prepared, permitted or demanded. This is true from the railroad laud grant steals of the sixties, down to the month of March, 1913. Recall the crcdit-mobilier, the Merrill tariff, the efforts to regulate railway rates, the plundering of the public domain, the abortive efforts to tax incomes, the MeKinlcy tariff, tho custom's stealing by construction of statutes amounting to a hundred million a year, the formation of the giant trusts, the railroad stock watering of fifty years and read the history of this country for the last half century, and you must confess that the people have been without a congress. The evils complained of were the products of bad laws or because of the lack of good laws, and the people would not have permitted such conditions to exist had they bcou allowed to act. What is the answer? THE LOBBY. That creation of corruption, bribery, robbery, theft and spoliation, in season and out, worked to control the people's servants, thwart the popular will and silence the noise of truth and justice. Its hideous face was every- 'where. l 1 "V. It stalked through tho White House. It sat at the cabinet table, donned tho judicial. ermine at will, and in the senate and house it reigned supreme. In its great strength it defied presidents from the days of Lincoln, whose hands were tied by the civil war, to the time of Roosevelt, Avhom it defeated by cajolery and trick ery, and to the four veal's of Taft, whom it destroyed. In the time from Lincoln to Roosevelt, "no man said it nay but secured thereby his own destruction." Woodrow Wilson, economist, student of politics, knew where the evils of the government of this country lay. 'Ho knew it was not in the people; he knew it was not in the form of government but he did know it was in failure of those who were intrusted by the people, and lie did know that the failure of the representatives of the people was due not to their inherent corruption, but to the external influences that sought .special legislation for gross and selfish ends. He knew it was "THE LOBBY." SO nE SCOURGED IT AND DROVE IT FROM THE CAPITOL. It showed its teeth it threatened a panic it defied Woodrow Wilson. But Woodrow Wilson had made his covenant, ne had enlisted for the war. When a panic was threatened, he said to them: "You do this and 1 will pillory your leaders before the people." East and west, north and south, he scut his cabinet ministers before those bodies the lobby claimed as its own conventions of bankers or manufacturers, boards of trade and chambers of commerce, who delivered a message from the president that the congress of the United Slates must no longer bo coerced by the monopolists and their hireling press, and that if foul and unfair laws were at tempted to influence the legislation of this nation, tho whole of and all the power of the presidential office would be used to expose and punish the nefarious conspirators. Plutocracy sneered "this from a president," and growled ominously. Another Roosevelt bluff, it said, But tho president asked an investigation ot the lobby. Tho people awoke to the noble sincerity and honesty of his pur pose, and they arose as one and pledged their loyalty. Plutocracy cowered. It could defy a president but not a president backed by a nation. It called the lobby homo. For tho first time in fifty years the lobby failed to sleep in tho capitol building. For the first time in fifty yours the most corrupt influ ence in our government ceased to be respectable, and bo camo disreputable. v Voodrow AVilson drove it from the scat of government, never to roturn, destroying tho menace that J)o Tocquc villo warned us against and that Bryce hoped we would Thus it is that AVoodrow AVilson is opening up for Ibis nation the "NEW FIJEEDOM." "HE IS DOING YOUR WORK FOR A'OU AND YOUR POSTERITY HE IS DOING TUEAVORKYOU AND YOUR SERVANTS FAILED TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE PAST. HE IS UNDOING THE CRIMES, FAILURES AND BLUNDERS OE HALF A CENTURY AV.ILL THE BENEFIT OE YOU AND YOURS. YOU HELP HIM WIN VOUR F1GUT7" FOR O. A. O. SHOWS ITS HAND 'HE MAIL TRIBUNE recently called atleulion lo (ho fact that the O. A. C. received onc-seven(h of all (he moneys, totalling over six million dollars, appropriated by 4ho recent state legislature. It dwelt on the fact that Dr. Withycombo had for sixteen years been connected with tho institution, had lobbied many of its appropriations through the legislature and asked how much more money this institution would demand of the taxpayers, with the governor's office to assist in tho work. As an indication of the interest, of the institution in the campaign, attention was called to tho fulsome dedication of the "Orange" to Dr. AVithycombe. Tho Mail Tribune stated the book was printed at public expense. Instead, it has since been informed, it was paid for by subscriptions from the alumni, advert isimr receints. etc. The "Orange" dedication litis been followed up by the following letter sent O. A. C. graduates, which shows whether or not the O. A. C. is in pelitics: Kcllow Alumnus: Wo renllzo that you will support Or. Wltlitrniiibo with jour vote.

Because ho vetoed salary grabs, extra offices and treas ury raids by the legislative machine, which was created by the Oregonian? Because he vigorously fought the theft of the state swamp lands and other corporation jobbery championed by the Oregonian? Because ho eliminated the stale printing graft, which the Oregonian for years received a subsidy for supporting? Because Jio lived up to his oath of office and enforced the law against law-defying institutions? Because he advocated legislation for good roads, moth el's' pensions, minimum wages for women, workmen's compensation and other4 human welfare laws, securing more beneficial legislation of this kind than in tho prev ious history of the stale?

Experience overy whore has taught that in the teacher lies the secret of a school's success and ability lo return to tho taxpayers a proper return on their money spent on public schools. The trained teacher makes the efficient school. Then to maintain a good school system, the teachers must bo nronerly trained. The people of Medford need tho Southern Oregon Nor mal School need it for their children's sake; need it that their young women who desire to take up teaching for a livelihood may have an opportunity close at hand lo prop- Mi-iy in iiiemseivcs lor mat important worlc. Southern Oregon needs the school. Tho state educational system needs the school. When ono considers the expenditure in this stalo of over .To,y0,000 annually on common schools, and the large percentage of that sum which is wasted through teachers who havo not been trained, a simple consideration of econ omy dictates that wo should provide means to give our teachers proper training.
