Famous Author Discusses Political
Issues Struggle is Between Dem-I
ocracy and Party of Privilege
Shall Nation in Crisis Throw Over
board Proven Pilot?,
'(By THOMAS NELSOX I'AflR.)
Tile lild is on once more between
1 lie deinoernev the party of the peo
ple, lliut bclinvcH in fjovernincnt of
(lie people, by the people, for the peo-
plcum! tho party of privilege, that
believes in Hie government of the
M'ople by the boHKfH for the benefit
mainly of the privileged cIiinh. The
tlemocriiey in represented by Presi
dent Wilson with the rieb fruits of
his democratic administration to
speak for his accomplishments. The
party of privilege is represented by
an unknown quantity in Mr. Iliurheu
unknown at least as to the most
vital questions of the day, on which
lie has been strangely silent or siby
linn backed by the bosses of the re
publican party, ranniiiK all the way
from ci-divant progressives to the
most standpat of reactionaries, but
whose 0110 common interest is their
devotion to the perpetuation of privi
lege. Mr. Hughes says that he stands
firmly on their platform, and we
know what that platform is the de
struction of democracy with its un
equalled , accomplishments. As they
put forth no promise of anything con
structive except . the tariff that
mother of special privilege they rest
niainly on their hostility to democ
racy and its achievements.
ItoiiKK-mtU: Achievement.
What are the denioeralie ucliirvo
nientsf Mora remedial legislation
than bad been passed before in u life
time. Intornnlly: the soundest fin
uncial legislation evor placed on our
Htalule books; the overthrow of the
privilege which for so long bound the
people in subjection to a class with
headquarters in Wall street, who
dominated for selfish interests the
legislation of the country; an income
lax law which helps to equalize the
Inn ileus of our expenses; and the re-
conslilution ol 11 nonpartisan tariff
commission, which will report lis to
the best way to impose such tariff du
ties as may be deemed necessary. And
now added to its other accomplish
inents is the rural ercdita uet, which
will do for tho fanners what the
bunking and currency net has tluue
lor the cities.
Kxlernally, Ibe powerful prosperity
til' (i people and laud kept at peace
111 tho midst of 11 war which ha:
drawn every other great power of the
earth within its destroying conflagra
tion. The emancipation of the peo
ple, the pence and prosperity of the
country, and the power of the gov
ernment greater than ever before, arc
the fruits of the democratic admin
istration. ,
Shall America 1iaiik..
The question is: Shall America in
Ibis crisis changej Shall we, in the
hoar of peril when the whole world
is swept by tho most devastating nntl
overwhelming storm in history,
change the pilot whose steady hanil
has guided us through all the perils
that beset us and has kept as at
peace and in prosperity, with imn-er
and honor. Shall America in this
crisis substitute fur this sale, tried
jnlot, whoso guiding star has been
only Amcricu and America's vital in
tercsts under the uegis of intcnni
tional rights, tin untried pilot, nomiu-
iitett by the bosses at the boasted die
lotion of the "(loruiiin-Aincririin alii
mice,' winch in its allegiance put n
lorcign country before America T
To make a change in the midst
this crisis would be simple madness.
t hat might follow such a change
none can tell. It might be war, i
might be only panic. It would ccr
tainly be the deliverance of the
American people mice more to the
powers of Wall si reel und the subsi
dized republican bosses in league
with I lie (ionium alliance. "Whom
the gods wish to destroy they fir
make mail." Will the lutes betray
the American people into the bund
lit those who would shackle them
iigiiinf Shall the Samson rejoicing
111 his strength be betrayed into the
power of those who fattened on bit
labor, and shorn of bis strenglh
Winded by bis raptors, be forced
again to grind in the mill ami at th
beck make diversion for his captors T
Holier Kwontl Thought.
That "sober second thought of tin
American people," on which Sir. I,in-
roln relied when lie said that ho did
not believe in swapping horses in tin
niitlst of the stream, can still be re
lied on, mid even if the disloyal, tin
American (icrtniin hostile within our
borders, who boast openly that they
dictated Mr. Hughes' nomination to
punish Mr. Wilson, anile with the
bosses of high In riff und privilege
to beat him, we may feel sure that
the true Americans of Ucriniin blood
will stand with those of other blood
to uphold the defender of America
und American rights.
"We love him for the enemies he
lias made," was said ol another great
democratic president so of this one;
we honor him for the unfaltering
courage with which he has stood
against the enemies of America and
of the American people.
Why should they change j and
change to the republican party, the
party of privilege and the bosses
and to Mr. Hughes the cundiilute of
the bosses? Set! what Sir. Hoosc
velt, late head of the lute Droures
stve party, said of them. They are
the same now that they were when he
"showed them up" for the detestation
ol the American people.
Only Mr. Uoosevelt lias changed.
rour years ago be dimmed the renitb
lican parly and its leaders with every
superlative of descriptive obloquy us
tho inveterate enemies of the people;
and of Mr. Hughes be telegraphed so
late us June 8 last, that it behooved
the republicans to nmniniite one who
would be "in good faith an American
president und not one who would be
ti viceroy of u foreign government."
It is hardly possible lhat the re
publican parly or Mr. Hughes could
be so bad as Mr. Roosevelt described
them; lor the body of republicans,
liko most others, bold honestly enough
their views, however erroneous and
anti-demoerntic they may be; and
Mr. Hughes is u gentleman of high
personal character, though somewhtit-
tlilulory, ami shy in lacing the great
issue ol the hour. Mr. Uoosevelt re-
tcrrcd to him as one who might be
tile viceroy ol a foreign government,
und he was undoubtedly timid anil
enigmatic according to even author
italive republican journals, in coming
out frankly on the issues of tho hour
But the leaders of the republican
party arc still what Mr. Roosevelt
said they were four years ago the
opponents of the rights of the peo.
pie, and Sir, Hughes is the eiindid.it
of those lenders, and of those who.
as Mr. Uoosevelt said in June, would

WILSON AT NAT
Five hundred people gathered last
night In the Natutorlum on the oc
cuulon ot tho formutlon of tho local
llughea Alliance. All o( that mini
bcr can not be clulmcil, however, as
Hughes supporters an In the gather
ing were many Wilson aympathlzors
drawn to hear tli e argument of the
opposition.
According to Mrs. K. ft. Ilunley
who delivered the first address of the
evening, the feminine voters are solid
for Hughes. Women, she explained
are not to bo deceived by Wilson's
child labor laws, which she declared
a fake, a measure with a Joker which
places children nioro than ever at tho
mercy of capital. Tho president's
Mexican policy was also flayed by
Mrs. Ilunley, who declared him woak
and vucclllutlng and said that al
though she did not raise her boy to
be a soldier, she would have willingly
given 111 in for tho protection of this
country's name In the border crisis,
Colonel n. C. Washburn and Wal
ter I.. Tooze, state organizer of
Hughes AllluncoB In Oregon, followed
and united In tearing tho Wilson ad
ministration to shreds and in lauding
to the skies the republican candidate.
Talk was confined to generalities and
the predictions of dire results to fol
low the acts of tho administration.
Officers for the local alliance woro
chosen by acclamation as follows:
Chnlrman, Mrs. Ralph Woodford;
vice-chairman, L. h. Cathcart; secre
tary, Mrs. George T. O'Brien; trea
uror, Frank C, Elliott.
Intorsporsed In the political pro
gram were a quartet selection with
Herbert Alford singing the solo. The
words for this selection were written
by Holbroolt Wlthlngton. Dick Posoy
of Ashland roclted an original poem
and 1'Totchor 1''IbIi sang a couple of
Yiddish lullabies.

A strip of orchard and farm land
covering an area of approximately
tiOOO acres lies between the original
north boundary line of the Ashland
Talent irrigation district and west
of the Rogue River Canal Company
Puoenlx segment of the tatter's sys
tem. The canal company's proposed
high-line ditch, covering an area of
28,000 acres, will follow the Phoenix
canal line. The only relief for those
in the Intervening strip is to be an
nexed to tho Ashland-Talent district
That Is being done now, a sufficient
number of farmers having signed up
to make It legally possible Robert
Drcvurd Is completing that feature of
tho work.
Included In the area under tho pro
posed high-line ditch is an acreago of
25, 000 of cultivable farm and orchard
territory, which will form an irriga
tion district. This the company pro
poses to cover with irrigation at a
flat rate of $40 an acre manifestly
the best Irrigation proposition evor
made to the farmers of the valley.
A sufficient acreage has been signed
up to warrant a legal call for an elec
tion. Arrangoments are now being
made to do that.
The organization of this district
will command with abundant irrlga
tion a large body of the most produc
tive farm lands In Rogue River val
ley. Thus accommodated, the far
mers and orchardlsts will bo enabled
more than to double their output ot
produce. This will add treinetiduously
to the prosperity of Southern Oregon.
In addition to the initial step taken
by the Rogue River Canal Company,
this high-line ditch enterprise is the
most comprehensive movement ulti
mately to make Jackson county one
of tho most attractlvo garden spots of
the Pacific coast.
The desire to acquire Irrigation on
the fertile lands of this valley at this
tlms has escaped ifrom the atmos
phere of doubt Into that of hurry, the
demonstration of its profitableness
having been , complete. . The only
problem to be solVcdnow Is that of
the time required to obtain it in the
