GRANTS PASS NEEDS A LEADER

Taking into consideration the important work which
before this community and the demand at this time
for action it is clearly apparent that Grants Pass has need
of leader and who command the respect and con-
dence of the members of the Commercial club in matters
relating to the growth and prosperity of Josephine
county, and particularly that of the city which try
ing to make the commercial manufacturing and educa-
tona center of the Rogue River valley Without leader
we are like army without general, navy without
commander 1t is in order to say that leader must
have not only ability but also tact to get along with
mttees and the public generally Such person is the de-
mand of the hour and the great industrial army which
ready to move only awaits the general It will be well for
the members of the Commercial club to take this matter
up and if possible find man who will serve the organza
ton in the capacity named

PROF. O'GARA'S OPINION

1t will be remembered that The Courier noted the
weather conditions and pronounced them favorable to the
production Of bumper fruit crop this year. We are
pleased to see that Prof p J. OGara agrees with
opinion on this subject He said yesterday:
1.-THE present storm is splendid thing from the or
chardists standpoint for it high color for next
years apple crop The buds being held back, but
they will develop rapidly when the warm spring sun
brings them out is far better to apologize for the
weather than be forced to apologize in the fall for our
fruit"
The snow storm of the past few days without pre-
ceden in this valley and yet there every indication that
is the one thing needed to not only insure good CROP
but an abundant harvest of small grains and vegetables

GRANTS, PASS, ORE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 10
GRANTS PASS MUST KEEP IN THE VAN

The committee of seven appointed by the Commercial
club at its meeting on Monday night to develop and carry
out an advertising plan will do well to act promptly 1t
is now past the middle of January and between this and
the first day of February advertising should be doing
its work. Heretofore Grants Pass has been behind all
the other places with its advertising and consequently
we have had to take what was left Our money just as
good as that of other cities and costs more to get into
the field early than to come tagging along behind.
The committee of should open the publicity cam
paign without weeks delay and let the aim be to secure
the pick Of the homeseekers and the investors Grants
Pass is in the van and if do not allow other towns to
pass us in the race the year 1911 will be long be remem
bered in history the record breaking publicity period
because Of the fact that hundreds Of families located here
and millions Of dollars we're offered for investment

erable records of the past, take the
young man to the polls, introduce
him to the actual condition, to the
ballot box suffer, to the floater, to
the henchman. Let them know how
In Denver, for instance, Simon Gug-
genheim dedicated $4,000 to the
university, and how on the strength
of that he debauched a senate, and
purchased a seat at Washington, d.
c. Let the young man watch the
parades and witness the fire works
that accompany the acts Of such men,
and then, and only then, will the
young man beget contempt for these
higher-ups. Then, and only then,
will they learn to despise the gilded
crook, as they do the cheap law
breaker. Only then will the college
men see the pathetic attempts Of
university professors to whitewash
the criminal deeds Of men like Gug-
genheim and his kind.
I'VE must teach the college men
that whenever a franchise is stolen
every home in the community Is
robbed. We must teach the youths
to assume the same attitude toward
the dishonest business man as the
thief. Unless that Is done
we need not be surprised IL college
graduates kill bills that mean the
very life Of thousands OF people.
Until then we may expect to see col
lege men stealing franchises; and
thereby putting their greedy hands
In the pockets Of every home in tbs
,ity.
Judge Lindsey would have kept
light on, but another question paved
he way for discussion of the late
Senator Hughes, Of Denver.
do you think he was really honest
n his support Of the big corpora
ions?" was the next question.
Eyes, Senator Hughes was honest
n his support Of the big corpora
ions. He was a brilliant and able
nan on the side Of special privilege.
But he was honest, for he was of
he type Of the old conservative dem
'crats who believed in the divine
light Of gigantic corporations and
rusts.
There are three contestants for
lis seat, Mayor speers, Alva Adams
nd Ex-Governor Thomas. Speers
epresents the same interests as
1ughes-the big public service cor
orations, the smelter trust and the
ailway monopolists.
"Alva Adams Is a member of the
otorious Adams family. He is
either fish, flesh or fowl-a mere
Back Of Adams Is the ex-
overnor Of Colorado and therefore
e Is a mere pretender."
AT this point he was asked what he |

any.
The papers didn't say anything
bout this libel suit" added the
idge, because they were afraid
ley'd lose the advertising that the
ostum company is doing all over
lie country, and It shows the power
big business men over the press.

THE announcement of Hon. J. sam
Row land, former citizen of this
county. for the office of railroad
commissioner for the Northwestern
district will be especially pleasing to
many of our readers who know SEN
ator Rowland. He is a native of
this county and related to many OF
our best families. He has for the
past fifteen years been a citizen
of Boone county and has four times
been elected to the State legislature,
in which service he acquitted himself
in most satisfactory manner. He
was raised on a farm near Appleton
and knows what it means to de-
pend upon his own efforts. He is a
son of Joe Rowland, who died about
twenty-three years ago, since which
time Senator Rowland has made his
own support and worked out his
own education. He is well known
and highly respected throughout the
state, and will. no doubt, receive a
splendid support in this, his old
home county. At this time we un-
derstand that he has no opposition
for this important office.-RusSeA

10th Century Club.

Thursday afternoon the 18th Cen
fury Club was most happily enter
tanned at the home Of MRS. j. II.
Doyle at Capps.
The guests began to arrive by
2:3O and were cordially welcomed
by Mrs. Doyle. Yellow was the
color scheme selected by our hostess
and the house was lavishly decor
ated with the beautiful yellow bios
SONS that now abound in the helds
Francis, the pretty little daughter
of our hostess, served refreshing
punch of yellow hue, as we were be-
ing ushered into the library,
The meeting was called to order
BY the president, Mrs. Davis at the
usual hour. After roll call respond
ed to by current events, business
being quickly dispatched, we turned
to the program, which was Sum
mer "reminiscences" This kind of a
program is ever interesting as it
gives each member a part, and we
heard experiences from window
washing to grand trips to the Pa
ci6c coast.
Mrs. Doyle then took charge of
affairs and passed cards tied with
yellow ribbon to eleven of the wo-
men and each was requested to read
aloud what was written on her card
and then to respond as best she
could. One told her worst scrape,
another the bright sayings of her
child, two riddles were propoundcd,
a song was sung by one with an i'm
possible voice, recitations, bright
stories, etc, followed,
Then school days were forcibly
brought to our minds as a dainty
booklet adorned with yellow bow
was passed to each guest and ques-
tions to be answered by arithmetic,
geography, physiology, literature
and even the alphabet had to be
given. Mrs. Wellman being more
nimble of mind than the others, was
rewarded with a prize, pretty bas-
ket adorned with a huge yellow
satin bow and filled with thefamous
apples from the Capps orchards,
each tied in a dainty white paper
with a yellow ribbon,
Then an appetizing two-course
luncheon was served by the hostess,
assisted by the daughter of the
house. Much praise was bestowed
on Mrs. Doyle for being able to serve
such delectable refreshments,
The afternoon drew so quickly to
a close that the drive through some
of the orchards planned for our fur
ther pleasure had to be given up,
A souvenir was handed each woman
as she said goodbye to her hostess
and thanked her for such a grand
opening of the club year. Besides
fourteen club members Mesdames
Ray, Mason and Routh of Batavia,
Mexican, Barry, McClary, Misses
Walters and Freeman were present

Representative Penix Explains.

To THE CITIZENS OF BOONE COUNTY:
Gentlemen: | have lately learned
that reports are going over the
county to the effect that was part
", or wholly, responsible for the
much extravagant legislation effect
ed by the last legislature Of which |
had the honor to be a member, and
in view of this state of affairs deem
it but justice to you and myself that
you know the truth,
Below is my action upon some OF
the important measures which came
before that body for consideration,
voted for the bill appropriating
the money gathered by a special
levy for that purpose, to pension the
old batter-scared veterans of the
Southern army. voted for an ap-
preparation carrying 100000 to
enlarge the insane asylum; with the
exception Of these two, the record
will bear me out that ! voted
against every other appropriation
bill that came before us,
My reason for so doing was that
they were all eXtravagant in their
nature and sought to create more
clerkships and raise more salaries
than was in keeping with the states
income, and | have never endorsed
the idea of appropriating money
that we didn't have, and for a pur-
pose that was wholly and absolute
ly unnecessary.
With the one exception of enlarg-
ing the State Hospital for Nervous
Diseases, never cast a single vote
that was calculated to increase your
burdens, but on the contrary, |
always voted to tighten them.
worked hard and voted against
the Turner Jacobson Revenue Bill
and my reasons for so doing are
many, but space will not permit me
to name them here. | would have
voted against any raise in the rev.
enue levy because think the rev.
enue gathered by the present method
and by the present levy is amply
sufficient to maintain the state gov.
ernment in creditable manner if
properly and judiciously expended.
am not writing this letter as a
candidate, but as your servant |
consider that you have a right to
know my actions upon all matters
that come before us and these acts
will be revealed by the journal
which am assured by Auditor
Jobe, will be printed at the earliest
possible moment.
sincerely hope that you will Sc
cure copy Of this record and be
governed thereby, and am slow to
believe that | represented q people
who will censure me for other than
my own actions.
Very truly yours,
NJ. O. PENlx.
