HARD WORK AMONG
JOSEPHINE co. FARMERS
Thorough Methods Employed In
Planting Both Orchards ana
Vineyards.

It is a noticeable fact that the peo-
ple of this county are deeply interest
ed in the improved methods of plant
ing and managing orchards, vine
wards and small fruit farms. This
was illustrated by the demonstration
train when 1t visited Grants Pass
short time ago. We have a strong
fruit exchange here and it would not
be amiss for this organization 10
make arrangements for a series OF
talks on these subjects. True we have
had Prof. O'Gara here and he at that
time promised to come again but has
not done so. Our nelghbors in jack
son county are alive to the import
ance of help from both the agricul-
tural department at Washington and
orr own agricultural college and 1t
behooves us to follow the example
of the fruit growers of that county
and provide ourselves with all the
help that we can secure from both
of the institutions mentioned.
There is great activity on the
farms of this county at the present
time. The increased acreage in
cereals and the planting of apple,
near and other fruit trees and set
ting out of large number of grape
vines has kept our farmers and fruit
growers very busy this season.
One of the favorable signs of the
times in the care with which tree
and vine planting is conducted. Last
year there were many acres in fruit
improperly planted and the result
was a great loss to the owners. This
year much care has been taken in
planting and a part of the work has
been done by experts All this will
result in a very small percentage of
loss in trees and vines. The many
who have been putting out vineyards
and orchards have been new in the
business and consequently without
experience but they have been study
ing the problems of fruit cultivation
and have found out that it pays to
follow practical methods, and this
it Is safe to say, will result in sue.

Well, james and Stanley were
made for public life, for politicians.
and had 1t been otherwise neither
would now be a statesman solonizing
for his country on Capitol Hill.
James was born to the bar and bred
to politics; Stanley was born for
action and steadied down TO politics
and law. Both are successful men,
as every man must be counted as
lucky who represents a constituency
in the American house of represent
atlves.
And here / cannot refrain from do
ing what l have so frequently at
tempted to do before, discussing the
fact that II Is unfortunate that the
design of the fathers was defeated,
in that they intended that the house
should be the dominant factor, not
only in the parliamentary branch of
our government, but of every depart
ment. To il was given the purse.
and where the treasure is, there pow
err is II was the glory of Hampden
that he brought bloody war to de-
luge England for the principle that
the purse was in the keeping of the
direct representatives of the people.
and he lost his life in battle sooner
than pay a few paltry shillings of
ship money. though he was a rich
man. But our house OF represent
atives, having ceased to be a delib-
erative body, has, for all practical
purposes, parted with the purse, and
the senate has made every tariff
since 1862.

convention.
Stanley, too, is the author OF a
notable specialize reply to Dalzoll
on Jefferson and Hamilton. DalzelI
had got his history from that Har-
ward college set-Theodore Roose-
welt is one OF 'em-and 1t is history
made to order, the facts to ut the
prejudices of the historian. John
Sharp William and Camp Clark told
Stanley to leave Dalzell alone, that
he was the most dangerous man in
congress to tackle; but Stanley per-
sisted, worked like Turk day and
night for week in research, and
when he delivered It there was not
a scrap left of Mr.. Dalzell's speech.
Ollie James was made for turbu-
lent body like the house of repre-
sentatives; OwsIey Stanley was made

the spur of the moment James can
electrify the house; after intense
study and minute research Stanley
would captlvate with a new phase OF

phase, or a new idea itself.

ing in the entire Mississippi valley,
judged by the number of illustrious
men of whom it is the alma mater.
Five years later Stanley was admit
ted to the bar, studying meanwhile
for the profession while professor of
bellies lettres in Christian College,
and as principal of Marion Academy,
in Ollie James town. He practiced
law in some half dozen counties,
and finally located in Henderson,
where he has since lived.
He landed in that thriving city
with less money in his purse than
stephen A. Douglas had when he got
to Morgan county, Illinois, and that
was less than one dollar. Two years
later young Stanley was a rival, and
frequently successful rival, of the
leaders of that, one of the strongest
bars of Kentucky, state so famous
for great lawyers. His success came
from a passion for research when the
fit is'on him. He is untiring and in
defatigable in cropping for the his

ollie James was born. AS l remark
ed, his father. yet living is a promin-
ent and successful lawyer, though
not as powerful before a jury as his
son, who was a politician as soon as
he was able to read a newspaper, and
at the age OF 10 he was appointed
page in the Kentucky legislature, the
memorable session of 1854, that was
prolonged into the spring because of
the contest of Joe Blackburn and
Cerro Gordo Williams and William
M. Sweeney for the United States
senate. Not even the long struggle
John NJ. Palmer had for senator in
1891, or the two races of Andrew
johnson, equaled this as sword
play OF politics, and the excitement
of thrilling pursuit Late in April
Blackburn was elected, and IL was
the most skillfully played game of
political chess Kentucky ever saw,
and no other state ever matched II.
This was an education for young
James. and grave and veteran poiiti-
clans consulted this boy and were
astonished at the aptitude he then
discovered for moving assembly

tive genius for the forum.

that is not all-they are consummate
politicians, know the game from be-
ginning to end, and neither has yet
made a serious mistake. They en-
tered congress together-the Fifty
eighth-in 1908, and they became
conspicuous the very first session.
James gained an enviable reputation
as counsel for Goebel in the cele-
brated contest for the office of gov
ernor of Kentucky In 1900, and
Stanley acquired equal fame as lead
ing counsel for the defense in cele-
brated criminal trial in Western
Kentucky. James was repeatedly a
delegate TO national conventions and
chairman of the Kentucky delegation
in three of them. Stanley has held
no political position other than presi-
dental elector in 1900.
