THEY DON'T ELIMINATE GOD.

All Europe has been reused by
what Professor Edward Albert Sha-
fer, president of England's greatest
body of scientists, told these scient-
lists the other day in Dundee, Scot
land, respecting his ideas of the ORR
gin of life.
Most folks seem to think that sci
entists are not paying enough atten-
tion to what God is popularity sup
posed to have done in regard to orig
mating life.
Professor Shafer gave God no cred
it at all. He thinks life is only a
chemical action; that, in a swamp,
some time, somewhere, a little salts,
potassium, phosphorous, water and
some other chemicals happened to
get together, that there was slight
stirring, movement, and life began.
Even now, he thinks, if scientists will
only watch the swamps carefully
enough, it is not impossible that they
will see new life being created.
By new life he does not mean the
life that parent passes ON to a
child, but brand new life, that has
never existed before.
1t doesn't seem to us that the sci
entists are really leaving God out OF
it. Even if they do discover that life
is only chemical action, can they
tell us who made the chemicals, and
by whose law these chemicals are
converted into a mother, with hel
first babe in her arm?
Perhaps it is true that the first
stir of life on this planet was only
a lot of chemicals humping into each
other and mixing up. But who made
the law by which this stir becomes
the loving heartbeat of parent, OF
the love of a man for a woman, ol
the ambition that causes men t.
move mountains, or the fidelity tha
makes man give up his life fol
what he believes is true?
Common folk, who only know the!
are alive, but can't tell you how
ought not to make fun of scientist
or condemn them, or put stumbling
blocks in their way. Let them go OF
with their guessing and seeking.
The chances are that some da
they'll help us to understand, evel
more fully than we do now; hoy
great God really is.

of police, but what a price he
brought-the love of child. You
see, the chief had for years been rub
bing up against human nature. He
had seen it in the slums and in the
environs of the aristocracy. He had
known strong, able workmen to be
auctioned off in the wage-market.
Always he had seen folks bidding in
at lowest possible price the things
of the highest value, for profits sake.
Always he had seen the poor, the
friendless, the unspecialized chloro-
formed in some way or other-put
out of the way in behalf of the profit
able. Here was pure love, backed
by the pennies of child's bank, Of
fered just for loves sake, and as the
chief put the mongrel pup into the
childs arms he must have said under
his breath, you lucky curt" for the
greatest of all specialties is the abil-
ity to return love for love, at which
there are few creatures more accom-

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Riley's Birthday.

Occasionally some man has sprung
from the plain people who sings be-
cause he must. He was not trained
to do it. He had no expensive col
lege education which made him
think of making literature. He sim
ply had melodies that crooned in his
brain and love for his kind that
abode in his heart, and the result
was true song.
Such one was Burns in Scotland; (;
such another was Beranger in
France; and such, we are persuaded
is James Whitcomb Riley in America
In each case their first friends and
first audiences were composed of the
plain people. Burns simple love
songs, Beranger's ballads about home
folk, Riley's melodies about little
children and Hoosier farms, went
straight to the heart of the people
who ordinarily do not care for
poetry, because it Is above their
heads. After all, most of us fee
emotions more rapidly than we think
thoughts. We cry or we laugh more
readily than we ponder cloudy meta
physics. And that is the reason we
hail as our brothers certain singers
long before the critical pundits
awake to the astonishing fact thai
these men have produced literature!
Riley, the discoverer of Little
Orphan Annie" and many another
quaint lad and lass, will live in oul
American literature just as surely al
our Longfellows and our Poes. Ant
that is why it was fitting to celebrate
his birthday. He has been peculiar
ly our kind of man-one of us, livin:
our kind of life, thinking our kim
of thoughts, sharing our sorrows ant
our joys.
So here is to Jim Riley, poet, lau
reate of the plain people. Long ma,
he sing for our delight!

Then you should vote to send JON

He is not only one of the foremost
advocates of the Oregon system, but
he has done more to advance pro-

Besides that, Jonathan Bourne has
succeeded in getting better commit
tee appointments in his five years
service in the senate than most other
senators have gained in twenty years.
Mr.. Bourne is we'll up on the appro-

priations than any senator Oregon
has ever had.
Mr.. Bourne is not the nominee OF

THE INTERESTS.

A great deal is being said this
year about the interests" and their
corrupt alliance with politics. The
interests have come to be understood
as a combination of big business
working through politics in such a
way as to control administration for
it's own selfish ends. Generally
speaking, the Interests" are of ma
tional scope. At least the people
have come to so believe. But, is it
not equally true that these combina-
tions called interests" have also
taken lodgment in our community
life and many times exercise a sinis-
ter political influence which results
in the same abuses as are traced to
the interests" of national scope?
Take Jackson county as an example.
Some five hundred thousand dollars
have been squandered during the
past four years. OF course this reck-
less and loose extravaganza has been
accomplished directly through the
county court, but has the county
court been the sole beneficiary OF it's
own laxity? The writer thinks not.
The main beneficiaries have been the
secret powers behind the court. Had
the county court during the past four
years been free from these secret in
fluences no doubt a different result
would have followed. What is this
secret influence of which we here
speak? Some have designated it as
the "Medford gang" 1t might more
properly be designated the Jackson
county interests" For it's alliance
with the politics of Jackson county i:
very much like that of the nation
wide interests" with the nationa
administration. The national Inter
ests" have controlled politics for self
ish ends and the people have bee
robbed while the interests" hav
grown fat. is not exactly the sam
true in the politics of Jackson coun
ty? Why are. the Jackson count
interests" secretly supporting tn
candidacy of TouVelle and openl
fighting Judge Dunn? Is it not rea'
enable to say they are doing it wit
sinister motives and for selfish ends
Always the interests" support tt

complish their selfish ends and bi
terly oppose those who are wis
enough to represent the taxpayer
and insist on economical. business
like administration. That is WI
the Interests" now habitat at MeC
ford are supporting TouVelle ap
fighting George Dunn.

PARCELS POST.

There has .been a growing demand
in the United States for a parcels
post law. The demand mostly came
from the farmers and the big depart
ment mail order houses. AS the bill
was first proposed it carried a flat
postage rate on packages up to eleven
pounds without regard to the dis
tance carried. The adoption of such
a bill would have resulted in great
harm to small retail stores through
out the rural districts because it
would have put the large mail-order
house in position to outsell the To-
cal merchant. Senator Jonathan
Bourne realized this situation. He
believed that a parcels post should
be adopted in the interest of the
farmer but should be so arranged as
TO not put the rural merchants to g
disadvantage So he devised the
plan followed out in the bill as final
ly adopted. The rate is based on
zones comprising fifty-mile unit
the basis per pound for the first fifty
miles, including rural delivery, being
5 cents and grading up to some SO
cents for over two thousand miles
haul. The result of this unit system
will be that the rural merchants will
be enabled to use the mail for Local
and rural route delivery at a much
less cost per pound than the mail
order houses, as they will be com
PEELED to pay the much higher rate
for the long haul. Thus Senator
Bourne has given the people the ben.
eft of the parcels post without great
ly injuring the local retail merchant

OPENED SUCCESSFUL
Morris Ball Team Wins First
Game.

The Morris base ball team opened
up their 1912 season very successful
ly last Sunday, when they trounced
the Chokio outfit to the tune of eleven
to one. Despite the fact that Morris
had very late start in the season
they made creditable showing and
will make some of the Tri-county
leaguers sit up and take notice. The
Morris aggregation left town at one
O'Clock and reached Chokio in time to
start the game at 2.3O. Morris took
the field for practice at 2:15 and
found the grounds to be in very poor
shape. In fact the ground keeper of
the pasture-ield it seems had over
worked some spots on the infeld,
for it was as smooth as the Atlantic
Ocean on windy day, and the grass
was two feet higher than the rules
allow strong wind also added to
these disagreeable features during
the game.
Chas. Loeff1er was called upon to
do mound duty for the county seat
crowd and with the little experience
he has had made favorable impress
sion with his team mates. Charley
held the Chokioites to six scattered
hits and worked himself out of some
tight places. Trip did the receiving
for the Morris squad and lots of credit
is due him for the masterful way in
which he worked Loeffier. Morris went
to bat first and started off with a rally
which netted them four runs. Chokio
tried hard to retaliate but the best
they could do was to shove one man
over the home plate, which was due
to an outfield error. There was no
more scoring done then until the
fifth, when our own made two and fol-
flowed the next inning with five more:
this was the end of the scoriag and
the final stanza saw the score stand
II to l. Trip was the big stick
artist for the locals, pounding out 8
singles and double His steal of
home was also feature of the fray.
Andrusick also pounded the pellet and
is credited with 8 singles. Golden
was the chief swatter for the losing
team and he being the "Grandpa" of
the team set good example for his
teammates. "Spike" Harris upheld
his reputation at the short-stop posi-
tion and the way he handled himself
would do credit to Hans Wagner:
"Spike accepted z Of his 8 chances
and several of these were of a diff
cult nature. Nelson and Eiden
slammed the sphere to extreme por-
tions of the field and if the Choklo
outfelders had been playing within
the corporate limits of the town, their
swats would have been good for extra
bases. The game on whole was we'll
played considering the adverse con-
ditioEs of the field and the Morris
enthusiasts who accompanied the team
were we'll pleased with the showing
the boys made. The following is a
box score of the game by innings.
