IN WINTER DRESS
- Fresh from spending a wonderful
day at Crater Lake yesterday in the
six inches of show, remarkably clear
atmosphere and association with the
bears there a Medford auto party ar
rived home last4 night consisting of
Judge Miihkm Purdin. Judge Glenn
. Taylor, E. A. Welch, O. C. Hen
line and Messrs. Lewis and Trapp,
whp made the journey in Mr. Welch's
car, which was the first to reach the
' park since the snow began falling
last Thursday. Mr. nnd Mrs. Horace
Pelton and Mr. Irish of the Earl
Fruit company arrived later, as well
as a number of other car parties from
this city and Klamath Falls. The as
semblage had splendid hosts in Alex
Sparrow, superintendent of Crater
National Park, who has discharged
his laboring crew for this year and
with his wife expects to come home
in about a week and Jack Hemstreet.
the care taker of the lodge, who will
bo there all winter.
The Medfordites, besides gorging
themselves on the marvelous scenory,
, which they had enjoyed before but
never under enticing snow conditions
. with six inches' of the beautiful on
the ground and with the fir trees
loaded with it, enjoyed a skiing con
test; a ride of a few miles on the
rim with Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow who
drove up to the lodge from govern
ment, camp in their large sleigh
drawn by his famed saddle horses or
some other old skates; helped Jack
Hemstreet prepare a meal and devour
it and then wont to see the boars.
The Medford folks spent Saturday
nlKht at the (irieve's houl at Prospect
and alter a hearty breakfast left by
motor on the frozen ground for the
lake. Snow was first encountered at
White Horse.
By far the most unusual feature of
the enjoyable visit was the association
with the bears. They had given
word to the Sparrows that they would
like to see and meet the bruins bo
fore their departure, and before leav
ing the hotel the park superintendent
phoned up to the lodgo from govern
ment camp that the bears were await
ing their arrival.
They then drove down to the camp

Jacksonville citizens were con
siderably wrought up yesterday over
the inability of the Independent
Voters league speakers to get into the
ountv courthouse for their addresses

Critics call him

IT'S TOASTED
fji one extra process
which gives a
delicious flavor
where Mrs. Sparrow, the two big
black bear cubs, the Gold Dust twinH
and their mother, tho much larger
Jimmy, lined up outside the head
quarters fur inspection. Jimmy and
her cubH that sounds paradoxial
but not when you understand that a
year or so ago when the huge bear
firiit showed up in tho lake vicinity,
the sex of the visitor was not known,
and the superintendent and others
took a chance nnd named the bear
Jimmy, which name has stuck ever
since.
Mrs. Sparrow, during her stay at
the lake this last summer and this
fall has established a great friend
ship with tho bears who reside in
that locality, especially with the big
twin cubs and Jimmy, their mother.
Sho makes a practiue of feeding them
dainties and petting them. The cubs
just love her and are like puppies in
their antics and coaxing of food from
Mrs. Sparrow. M
Jimmy and her children behaved
extra--nice yestorday -and performed
stunts for the . visitors, who petted
and made a great fuss over them.
Judge- Taylor and the " cubs were
photographed in various positions.

" Jacksonville citizens "were irate"
at the incident and along with the
Independent Voters league speak

sence was not accidental, and in "line
with the horse play that has been
going on around the courthouse for
months."
County Judgo George Gardner

NATIONAL FRUIT CLEANING
MACHINE
The National Fruit Cleaning Co. is
putting on the market a late model
fruit cleaning machine, which cleans
the apple of spray and dirt, but does
not bruise it as has been demonstrated
from last year's crop. There were 20
machines used In Hood River valley
during the packing season last year
and proved very satisfactory even
though they are of the old model. A
small amount of fruit is still In some
of the warehouses In perfect condition
for so long a tlmo thereby proving to
the most skeptical that it does not
bruise the fruit or remove the wax or
parafine so necessary to tho proper
keeping qualities of the apple or other
fruit. The fruit is carried by a padded
belt between three adjustable spiral
brushes revolving in opposite direc
tions causing the fruit to rotate rapid
ly while being . carried along and
brushed. The capacity ig 1200 boxes
per day and can be Increased by in
creasing the speed slIghtlT- Further
Information can lie had by addressing
Miss Elizabeth Reutor, Jacksonville,
Oregon. 1H
God gave
parents
their children
Governments cannot rightfully
take them away
AMERICA has always stood for the protection of natural and inalien-r-
able rights, among which none is so sacred as that of parents over
their children. .
ABRAHAM LINCOLN said:
"The Family is the corner-stone of social order and the guarantee
of public safety. No Government can take the place of the Parent, and
should never be permitted to usurp it." Speech at Quincy, Ills.," 1859.)
The results of the campaign against the so-called Compulsory Edu
cation Bill, which is in fact a Bill to Establish State Monopoly of Educa
tion, may be grouped under two heads :
Facts demonstrated
The FACTS DEMONSTRATED, no longer
seriously disputed by anybody, are these :
, That the Bill was given 'a False Title, to mis
lead the public and deceive the voters.
That it in no respect pretends to improve the
existing law as to the Public Schools, but simply
destroys the Private Schools.
That not one cent of public money goes to the
support of any private or parochial school in this
. ".State, or ever has, or ever can, under the plain
prohibition of the Constitution and laws.
That it will increase taxation at least $1,000,000
each year, and require from $3,000,000 to $4,000,
000 investment in new public school buildings.
, That it vests in the County Superintendents ar
bitrary and unappealable power to grant special
privileges to the wealthy and influential, by
"Avhich they will be exempt from the law.
That it will prevent parents from educating
their children in private schools both inside and
outside of the State, as they cannot even send
their children elsewhere to be educated.
. That so far from being united in support of the
Bill, the Masonic Fraternity in the State is di
vided, many of the leading Masons are openly
opposed to it, and the Grand Master of the State
Grand Lodge has publicly denied that the Grand
Lodge indorsed it.
That the best elements in the' social, religious,
educational, and political life of the State are op
posed to the measure.
That the educational leaders, inside and outside
of the State, are opposed to the Bill. Dr. Nicholas
. Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says: "It
should be called a Bill to render the American
system of education impossible in Oregon." The
Presidents of Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Leland
Stanford and other great Universities have em
phatically, condemned it. :.'vv-..
That the private schools; under the existing
law, are required to conform their course of stud
ies to the public schools standards, the English
..language is made compulsory, and they are sub
ject to the inspection and supervision of the State
authorities. -
That the proposed law will close up every
orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent
children, and other private charities, where any
elementary instruction of the inmates is at
tempted. That it destroys the rights of minorities, the most:
vital and valuable principle of Americanism, and the
one that h'as preserved this country from the tyranny
of Old World Governments.
THE ARGUMENTS UNANSWERED against
the bill are contained in the "Voters Pamphlet"
issued by the State. The chief points of the same
are as follows :
Arguments unanswered
'.' 1. THE LUTHERAN ARGUMENT : "If you
see fit to send your child to a school in which your
religion is taught, not one day in the week, but ;
every day, and the whole training of the child is
permeated by such religion, the State, under the
Constitution, must not prohibit you from so do
ing. This bill is manifestly unconstitutional;'"
2. THE PORTLAND CITIZENS' AND TAX
PAYERS' ARGUMENT : "If the number of chil
dren now attending the public schools is to be in
creased by adding those now taught in the private
schools, it is inevitable -that 'overcrowding-must
result unless new buildings arc supplied, and' it is
also certain that taxes must be materially increased."
3. ST. HELEN'S HALL (EPISCOPAL) AR
GUMENT : "No invidious fact or condition affect
ing public interest- has been called to our attention
that would furnish in the slightest degree an excuse
lor the proposed legislation."
4. THE PRINCIPALS OF PRIVATE
SCHOOLS' -ARGUMENT : "It is against the best
American ideals of freedom, in that it denies to men
and women freedom of thought and action in the
choice of environment and influences for their chil
dren." 5. THE SEV F.NTI I-DA Y . ADVENTISTS'
ARGUMENT: "We arc not at all certain that a
man educated in the public school is more intelligent
than if he were educated in a private or sectarian
school, nor have we heard any convincing argu
ment that a person is necessarily more patriotic if
educated in a public school, than if he were edu
cated in a school not supported by public taxa-
. tion." ,
6. TllZ CATHOLIC ARGUMENT: "There
, is no occasion now for agitation that will estrange
old friends and neighbors,' and that will divide our
people into classes and factions. " No greater mis
fortune can befall us than movements calculated to
create divisions." "'
7. THE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS AR
GUMENT : "It is hascd on the philosophy of autoc-
. racy that the child belongs primarily to the State;
it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and
threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American,
liberty." ' ,
The foregoing "Negative Arguments" arc as
strong today as when written and- filed. They re1
main unshaken and unshakable, after three
months of public discussion.
The great International Convention of the Episco
pal Church, meeting in Portland recently, adopted
strong and unequivocal resolutions condemning this
bill. '..-.
The State Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at its meeting in Salem last August, refused
to entertain any movement looking to an endorse
ment of the bill, by the express ruling of the Presid
ing Bishop.
' Upon the foregoing statement of the case we invoke the fair and intelli-"' '""
gent judgment of the voters of Oregon, confident of the result if a regard
for the inherited and fundamental principles of reasonable liberty are to ,
prevail in this state. s 1 .
