CRATER LAKE DECISION.

Every true friend Of the Rogue
River valley will regret to learn that
the supreme court on Tuesday Of this
week handed down a decision de-
claring unconstitutional the Crater
Lake wagon road act passed by the
last legislature, which appropriated
100000 to aid in the construction
OF the road from Medford to Crater
Lake. Justice King, to his credit,
dissented from the opinion on the
ground that all provisions Of the con-
stltution should be interpreted on
broad grounds, rather than on mar
row technical principles, contending
that the legislature may enact any
law not expressly prohibited by the
constitution, and that In determining
whether such acts are In conflict
with the constitution all reasonable
doubts must be In favor OF the law
thus assailed.
It is useless, however, in this case
to go behind the returns, so let us
unite and prepare for the next legis-
lature. There Is way to get what
we want on constitutional lines

Twentieth century methods have
been employed in this instance in orr

OF the entire Rogue River valley.
This movement spells success and
means much to every fruit grower

.ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
 DAY IN CHURCHES
Clergymen Urge Their FlOcks to Display Interest in Campaign.

In response to the call of Mayor Buckingham issued in keeping with the national appeal to pastors to ex- hort their flocks to interest themselves of all denominations throughout the city yesterday called attention to the work of the National Anti-Tuberculo- sis body and it's subdivisions and urg- ed their congregations to contribute generously to the undertaking.
 At the Park street Congregational church last evening Dr.. N. B. Wordin delivered an address on "Tuberculo- sis and the Modern Fight Against It.. He pointed out the general character of the disease, said that no race was exempt, and calling to mind statistics of the disease, pointed out some of the preventive and curative measures employed
 One seventh of the deaths of the United States, he said, were the re- suit of the great white plague. Yet within the last 3 years, the city of New York by intelligent campaign has reduced the number of consumptive shine, rest and good food, he said, are the only cures. Dwelling. on the spread of the disease through careless expectoration, he said the consump- tive home should abolish the welcome sign and display in it's stead one read ing, Don't Spit.'
 He advocated open air sleeping, or wide open windows in bedrooms. Dr. Wordin also pointed out the vast inn provement in shop conditions and in public schools, all tending to lessen the disease dangers At the close of Dr. pealed for liberal assistance for such organizations as the Visiting Nurse association and kindred bodies working to ward off the disease.

 Washington. April 25.-Democrats were surprised today by a clarion call from Senator Bailey of Texas, for a return to the "old methods of party politics in which he decried the cleo chusetts. 1ntimat ting that he did not consider 1t true Democratic vic- tory."'' 'If, rejecting all the isns and fads," said the Texan, i've set our faces resolutely in favor of our an- cient principles without stopping to count whether it spells victory or de- feat, we will make our future secure. Among the many strange things which have come to pass in the po1i- tica1 affairs of our country. the strangest of all is the suggestion of Theodore Roosevelt as the Demo- cratic nominee for the Presidency. It is as absurd as if the followers of Thomas Jefferson had been selected to support Alexander Hamilton and exemplihes how completely many of our people have been won to the idea. of one man and away from the idea of the great principles
 Concluding the interview he said: Undoubtedly the former President has supported certain Democratic policies and to that extent deserves approval but all well-informed men know the former President has at one time or another denounced every fundamental principle of government " hich Democrats have been taught to- cherish

 The primal object of the patriotic society which the Dorothy Ripley chapter represents in the Daughters of the American Revolution is the preservation of history, chiefly by marking historic sites in which Con- reeticut especially abounds.
 During the seventeen years of the Hociety's existence much along the line has been accomplished through out the entire country, and now many of the chapters are turning their thought and energies toward educa- ttonal work, believing, that in seeking honoring their ancestors in the nob-
 One of the most interesting as well as productive features of the work has been the education of the noun taineers in Kentucky and Tennessee who were patriots during the reVo- lution and unionists in the cIv1L war.
