He appears to have done the flip-flop act with thrllllnu dexterity Blnce then. . liliod him then, because ho preached the very things, in some cases, which Presi dent Wilson lias advocated for years in his histories and magazine conirl- Initl'jns and the substantial ideas of reform and prosross, which ho has for three years been crystallizing into national law. He has not changed. What possible Influence could change the mind of a good citizen, a well meaning, loyal American, to advo cate the opposite things now? That is what, neighbor Mears is doing. Xo man is so blind as the voter who will paste the party label over his eyes, thus shutting out the view oT things ahead. 1 can't see my way clear to favoring that sort of citizen ship. I am sorry that Mr. Mears de ceived me once. Tint he can't lead me wrong this time. I am still quite positively advocating the very re forms the support of which gave birth to '.he progressive party. I am yet a progressive; and I regard President Wilson as the broadest typo of pro gressive citizen this country has ever had. , Tearful Apiwil T cannot listen with patience to this tearful appeal for party loyalty. Loyalty to my country commands my first thought and my first vote. There is nothing in common between me and the rotten political foritoratlon controlled by Wall street. We all know what that means: It means dissipation of public moneys, public morals, public Interests and public lenity to Integrity of purpose, to honorable government for all the people all the time, and it means the destruction of those elements of do mestic life that make the home a place of sacred safety. Mears is wrong. He is blindly partisan. He has stupidly forsaken the ideals he once hugged to his bosomwjien he wanted votes. Such men are mere political harterers. T don't blame -Mr.' Mears for not going down to the Alexicnn border with a knapsack on his shoulders. War is a dreadful thing, it Is the horror of all horrors in Europe now Can we not picture in our minds the awful blood-lust, the agonies of j thousands of deaths hourly, ' the moaning of the maimed and blinded soldiers on the battlefields and the bursting of the bosoms of bereaved mothers and young wives, whose hopes and joys have gone down into that seething hell of devastation? ContJiidiclion Claims. Of course. Mr. Mears doesn't want anything of that kind. Then why does he claim, in cue breath, that we are at war with Mexico and In nnother that we are not, the latter claim giving him excuse for not going to the front and fighting like a man, as lie says Wilson should have caused our husbands and sons to do in order to protect the lives and property of a few adventurers and exploiters of the homes and resources of the ignorant and enslaved peons of that rich, but unhappy, republic Mr. Mears is wrong, lie is over zealous in a had cause. His choice of partisan fealty this time Is most unhappy. His error will rise to smite him. It is too had. Indeed, that active souls like him and Mrs. Ilnnley are wasting so much enthu siasm on such n flimsy pretext. Lincoln was a great and good man. He rnme Into public life like a savior of the people. Like him, Wilson is a great and good man. He. too, came into public life like a savior of his country. His country rannot afford to spare him now. , ELEXOKE LEWIS. Mother. Ashland, September 2(1. HATCHERY IKE TO WILSON FUND PERFECT TROUT To the Public: The Jackson county republican committee is evidently out to localize the "Dirty Dora" campaign lieing waged by the republican national cuinmlttee. In a petty, scurilons contribution to the Medford Sun this morning, they attempted to slander the con tributions to the local Wilson cam paign fund by stigmatizing this con tributions, a a gambling fund and i the donors as gamblers. That any one might he actuated by patriotism or a desire to see honest government perpetuated is apparently beyond the understand ing and conscience of the committee. -Money flows so readily and easy to the sack of the republican national committee that the little donation of tho humblo democrat may seem like n Joke to the committee, per haps, too, the committee is judging others by its own measurements, that Is to say. Its efforts are not so purely patriotic a's they are hopeful that they may oust somo deserving demo crat from office and take his place. it is is always a boomerang and a sad mistake to judge, others by yourself. Try and ho decent gentlemen and lots have no more Innuendo of this character, as it is ontirely unwar ranted, and will do no good. W. N. CAMPITELI,, Chairman Democratic county com-fittee.

Of these he has already liberated 200,000 steel head, and 20. 000 Eastern brook. The balance are still being fed. Owing to the ideal location of the "hatchery, the abundance of cold water and the experienced care be stowed by Mr. Herrian, the loss has been negligible and sturdier and stronger young flnh were never raised anywhere.

The ladles, who are busily arrang ing the urilcles for sale on the lower floor, have already been obliged to turn away a number of people, who have wandered In "just , to look around," but who have been so amazed at the alluring bargains to lie offered, that they have begged to be allowed to purchase them at once. However, a rule has been made that nothing shall be sold before D o'clock on Friday morning, and this will be si rictly adhered to.

SHE FOR INCREASE ST. l'Al'h, Sept. 27. headers of the Mriitherlmod of Wailroad Cm Men in the northwest met in St. Paul "day to (lix-uss a plan to demand higher wages fnnn the Great North ern, the Northern Pacific, the Can adian Pacific and (he Chicago," Mil waukee & St. Paul railroads, and recognition of the union by the Great XiTrthern. The car men. it is said, are disgruntled over the passage of the Adamson law providing an eight -hour day for Irainmen. as they con lend the law did not include thcni. Some of thc'leadcrs of the car men predict that a strike will ensue if the demands to be formulated at the tneetinsr should not be granted. L MF.lihlX, Sept. 27. The British naval base of Portsmouth and mili tary establishments near the mouth of the Thames and at North Shields, Lincoln and Derby were attacked by the Zeppelins which rattled England Monday night, the admiralty an nounccd todav. The official account of these operations follows: "On the night of September 25-20 several German unships bombarded extensively and with visible success, with explosive and incendiary bomb; llit English naval port of Portsmouth, fortified places near the mouth of the Thames and industrial and railroad cluh)islimciils ol military importance in middle England, including North Shields, hincoln ami Derby. The air ships returned unharmed, 'notwith standing strong attacks of anti-air craft giiiis.'' i an addition, for players defending the goal ou a puntmit ii.ny bat the ball in any direction. The rule covering the restrictions of linemen breaking through and striking with locked hands has been changed to cover any player break ing through. A set of approved ground rules has been formulated for the playing of championship games. These rules may be changed, how ever, by consent of the two eonipet- The football rules for the l!)(i sea sou have undergone few changes, and those that have been made are not radical. The majority of the altera tions have been made with the pur pose of making preceding' rujes more plain to the average fan and player. The rule governing the delay of the game at the intermission between halves makes clear that the "offended side, in addition to gaining the dis tance penalty of twenty-five yards, shall also have the choice of goals. lor years the i'ootball rule book has carried n section in the rule cov ering a safely to the effect that a player carrying the ball, upon being forced back over his own goal line, was guilty of making n safety. As a rule covering (he forward progress of the ball has been made clear to the effect that the referee shall blow his whistle when the forward point of progress is reached, in all eases it will be impossible to score by this method, and the clause in regard to forcing a player back had been stricken from I he rules. All fouls committed upon players behind the goal line have been ruled upon specifically in order to make the point clear that a I'oul of this kind, which would deprive nn opponent of the opportunity to recover the ball and make a touchdown, will give a touchdown to the offended side. hast year, under tho rules, if n player was not one yard back and still was on the line of scrimmage, it pro duced an illegal formation. This rule tins year makes such n formation le gal, hut stales specifically that the cjuarf erback is not. eligible, to receive a forward pass unless he is at least one yard back. It is also made clear this year that a guard or tackle dropping back from the tine must go at least five yards in order to be eligible to receive n for ward pass, to run with the bull or to act as interferor. The rule covering n puntont has been made (dear to -the effect; that players defending the goal may not run into the player catching the punt out, except in a bonafide attempt to catch or bat the ball.

It m a well cbtahlluhi'd fuel that our one Normal Hrhool cannot supply the needs of the entire state. That Is why we auk for your work and vote for the proposed Kasteru Oregon Stale Normal School at i'untlk'ton, Oregon. CIVE EASTERN OREGON SQUARE DEAL Eight counties In the Willamette Valley have employed during the past five years, 203 teachers who have gradu ated from the Monmouth Normal as against 39 Monmouth Normal School graduates for the eight leading countlse of Eastern Orroo". During the past ftve years the attendance of students from nine Willamette Valley counties was 877 atudsnta as against 91 students from nine of the leading counties of U. litem Oregon. owiim to the crowded condition of our one Normal at Monmouth and hIbo the diKtance uud expense of attending, Htudenta from KaBtern Oregon are com pelled to tto to neighboring stales to secure their training as teachers. ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $1,000 The annual maintenance cost of the proposed State Normal School in Eatern Oregon amounts to but one 2i th of a mill or 4 cents on a thousand dollars of taxable property. Iln't It worth this to have your children trained to become useful and productive citizens? STRONG ENDORSEMENTS Among those who strongly endorse the establish ment or lliu proposed Kastern Oregon Normal School are Governor Withycomhe, J. H. Ackerman, Presi dent of the Monmouth State Norma); W. J. Kerr, 1'reHident of the Oregon Agricultural College; P. L. ('umphell. President ol the State University; Itobert '. Prcneh, former President of the Weston Normal, and practically all of the leading educators of the Stale. J. A. Churchill, Superintendent of Public In struction, voices the sentlmentH of thoso who are most familiar with the need of more adequate Normal furtlllU's when he says: "Oregon's greatest need for Its rural schools la the teacher who has hd full preparation to do her work. Such preparation can best come through Normal School training. "I trust. that the voters of the state will assist In raising the standard of our schools by establishing a State Nor mtl School at Pendleton. The location is central, the in tcest of the people of Pendleton in education most excel lent, and the Urge number of pupils in the public schools will give ample opportunity to students to get the amount of teaching practice required in a standard normal school." All the a hove educators insist that a Standard Normal School must he located in a town of 6000 or more population and having enough grade pupils for teaching practice. VOTE RIGHT my voting YES for No. 301 you will help to olve to the school children of Oregon the same advantages enjoyed by the school children of our neighboring states. Vote YES for No. 308.
