to be the best in the world, offering
abundant opportunities for both writer's

so good as now. There are illustration
classes in every art school in the coun-

traitor begins in his student days to col
lect material for reference in many sub
jects, since there is no knowing to what
field his skill may be directed.
A general illustrator. like a cub re-
porter upon a large newspaper, may have
to cover anything from a fire to a
wedding, and his versatility may mean
countless dollars to him. Later he may
specialize. and there is no profession in
which there is greater demand for special
ization than in that of the illustrator.
But one must be a capable all around
craftsman before he is likely to be able
to have a speciality.
This tendency to specialization has given

known to the public. A young man re-
so well that his engines were a delight
to railroad men. A prominent magazine
sent him to Panama and his pictures of

was specially built for. the excavation of
the big ditch. have given to the world
effects which no photographs could pro-
duce. He was able to catch the real
spirit of the greatest engineering feat in
the world. and to convey it to all through
his drawings.
Sometimes an illustrator Is fortunate
enough to be sent to some new field such
as the South Sea Islands, the Klondyke
or some unfrequented part of Europe.
This puts him in possession Of a new line
of material and soon his pictures are
seen in many publications, for the editors
of magazines are quite as anxious to
have new matter in their illustrations as
their literature. and by many the illus
trations are being recognized as of even
greater value.
Some publishers recognize the work of
the writer and the artist as equal, and
so the author and the illustrator may be
sent out together, as were Howells and
Pennell to Italy, or the British war cor
respondents and artists to South Africa,
or the American to Cuba. Sometimes the
power to make pictures develops the
ability to write, and there are number
of artists who not only make pictures,
but also the stories they illustrate. Hop

THINK OF WHAT INFLUENCE IN

1t is the chief asset of the state
that has it. Then remember that to
lose Senator Bourne is to lose the
largest asset Oregon ever acquired
through any representative. Re-
member that in committee Bourne
votes on more appropriations than
does any other member of either
house of congress.
Legislation in congress is handled
in committees. Seniority is supreme
in the senate. Men rise to the tops
of committees from long service on
them Bourne has been extremely
fortunate. 1t would take new man
twelve to fifteen years to secure COM
mittee places equal to those now held
by Bourne. Oregon wants appropri-
ations and favorable legislation
NOW. The state cannot afford to
wait ten years or more for a repre-
sentative to reach a place of influ-
ence. Bourne is chairman of the
committee on postoffices and post
roads, which passes on appropria-
tions aggregating $270,000,000 a
year. Second in rank on fisheries,
of great Importance to Oregon.
Member of the commerce committee,
handling all river and harbor appro-
priations. Member of the public
buildings and grounds committee

Mr.. Stillman's friends were surprised
when it was announced that he

factor in this campaign. With Mr.
Campbell dividing the republican
vote with Mr Hawley and with the

what will happen. Many people who
are familiar with political conditions
are admitting not only the possibility
of Mr.. Hawley's defeat, but that Mr.
Stillman has a chance to win.

Campbell, the candidate of the pro
gressive party, for this office. A

the democrats there is a possibilit,
that Oregon may be represented il

For Congress from the First District.
Hawley's record shows him to be
a stand-patter of the stand-patters.
Every move he has made since he
has been in congress was in com
plete harmony with the Cannon-Ald-
rich program. You cannot hope to
get your government back into the
hands of the people if you vote for
stand-pat congressman. John w.
Campbell is thoroughly progressive
and will stand solidly in congress for
progressive legislation. He is pro-
gressive rather than partisan, and is
pledged to support progressive legis-
lation whether it is put forward by
a republican or democratic admin
istration. He stands for antitrust
Legislation and revision of the tariff

TREASURY LOOTING.

Frenzied financiers at Medford are
hot under the collar. They are des-
perate. Through manipulation some
five hundred thousand dollars of tax
moneys of Jackson county have been
squandered (have been virtually
looted out of the treasury, if you
please, for the only way to get money
out of the treasury legitimately is to
take it out according to law. When
it is taken out, or appropriated, lille
gally, when thousands of dollars in
county warrants are issued to one
man any by him sold contrary to law
and directly in the face of a consti-
tutional provision prohibiting such
issue, that, in our opinion, is treasury
looting pure and simple, and not only
the county court but every man who
advised and insisted that it be so lille
gally extracted is particeps criminis
to the looting). So the gentlemen,
including Mr.. TouVelle, who APP
peared before the county court and
urged it to appropriate thirty-four
thousand dollars toward the building
of the Medford bridge, being fully ad-
yised as to the constitutional inhibi-
ton against issueing Indebtedness in
| excess of five thousand dollars with
out a vote of the people, made them
selves parties to the treasury looting
and should not take offense when
! they are properly criticised for SC
doing.

ty warrants they make themselve:

THE CoNGREssIONAL sITUATIoN.

So much attention is being paid to
the presidential side of this cam
paign that the newspapers have al
most lost sight of the congressional
situation which is promising some in
teresting developments. At the be-
ginning of the campaign it seemed
as if Mr.. Hawley, who has been the
incumbent of that office for the past
six yeaNs, would be elected almost
by default, for lack of effective op-
position. At the present writing it
is beginning not only to look as if
Mr.. Hawley will have to make an
effort to be elected, but many we'll
informed people are beginning to
question whether any effort which
he can make at this time will save
him from defeat.
Not only will Mr.. Campbell, the
candidate of the progressive party,
take a considerable support from Mr..
Hawley, but the unexpected feature
of this campaign is the strength be-
ing developed by o. A. Stillman, the
prohibition candidate Contrary to
the time-honored custom of the pro-
hibition party, Mr.. Stillman has in
sisted on taking his campaign seri-
ously, and from the beginning he has

MILLAGE TAX BILL REPEALS
LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIA-
TIONS.

The argument printed in the Vot-
ers' Pamphlet over the signature OF
H. ]. Parkinson and others, attacking
the millage bill for the support OF
the Agricultural College and the Uni
versity of Oregon, contains mis-
statement of facts so vital as to de-
mand immediate correction. AL
though the millage bill clearly and
specifically repeals the appropria-
tions aggregating $5O3,O00 made by
the last legislature, for buildings,
equipment, ETC., at the university, it
is assurted in the argument against
the bill that friends of the uni
versity are trying to kill the refer
endum on the $5O3,O00 appropriated
by the 1911 legislature for the Uni
yersity of Oregon. If they succeed,
the taxpayers will have over $1,2SS,-
900 to dig up for the schools in
1913"
No effort is being made to secure
the passage of these referred bills
and even should they receive a fa-
yorable vote they would be automat-
ically repealed by the passage of the
millage bill so there can be no dou-
BILE appropriation.
Investigation shows that instead
of increasing the rate the millagC
bill actually effects a saving on the
average appropriations for the las
ten years.
This BILL being a measure regulat
ing taxation, must of necessity b,
submitted under the initiative.

TRUE TO TYPE.

True to the traditions of the Med
ford bunch, the suit lodged against
the Tidings editor for libel was a
criminal instead of a civil suit. If
the suit had been civil and the COM
plainants had failed to maintain il
they would have been stuck for the
costs. Not so, however, in a crimi-
nal suit. In such a suit the county
takes the place of the complainant,
and if the suit is not maintained the
costs will be paid out of the county
treasury.
And this is strictly true to the ira
ditions and practices of the Medford
bunch, for has it not consistently ad-
vocated that every old thing be PAID
out of the county treasury? Have
they not seen to it that the county
money box be resorted to in building
hard-surfaced highways to their OWL
stores and in fornt of their owl
ranches, regardless of the need o
other people and other sections?
Just here we wish to put this ques
tion to Mr.. TouVelle and ask tha
he answer without equivocation
Mr.. TouVelle, if you are elected coun
ty judge and the criminal proceed
ings against the Tidings editor is nc
maintained, and the bill for costs
presented to the county board fo
allowance, will you vote for its al
proval or rejection? Please answe

il MARVELLOUS RECOVERY.

Did you ever stop to think of the
marvellous recovery of memory which
has come to the trust magnates and
their lieutenants within the past few
months? During every trust hearing
in the past, whether before a con-
gressional committee, in the courts
or before the interstate commerce
commission, the ignorance of these
men regarding their own business af-
fairs was indeed pitiful. 1t was
case of the right hand not knowing
what the left hand did only a few
months or weeks before. Not one
but displayed an ignorance of the
business OF which he was the head
that would have shamed a cross
roads farmer. Yet today they can
testify with absolute certainty not
only as to what they gave to aid the
republican campaign in 1904, but
they can remember every detail with
a clearness that is little less than
marvellous for a man whose memory
! had never failed him.
Truly this recovery is something
more marvellous than anything in the
annals of medicine, surgery, or even
Christian Science The man who can
formulate the remedy so as to apply
it to all failing memories will have
conferred a benefit on the human
family which can hardly be esti
mated

TEN REASONS WHY WOMEN
SHOULD VOTE.


l. Men and women "are created
free and equal" and all human be-
ings should have equal power and
privileges, except when, by some
mental or physical defect (immatur-
ity, disease, or Otherwisc), such
equal privilege is injurious to 9TH
ers. All laws should be placed on
the broad principle of greatest good
to greatest number. Practically all
arguments in favor of men voting or
for representation in government ap-
ply with equal force in favor Of wom-
an suffrage.
2. Women are compeiiel to COM
pete for a living with the same indus
trial conditions as men and are enti-
tied to equal voice in the making OF
laws affecting their means of live
/ lihood or existence.
8. Men and women are both sub
Ject to laws, both are punished in
like manner for violations of crimi-
nal statutes, and, as a matter of ele-
mentary justice and equity, women
should be given equal voice with men
in making of statutes.
! 4. Physical differences do not log
ically deprive women of suffrage.
While, by reason of such differences,
a more or less logical division of
various duties necessary for provid-
ing a home and livelihood may be
established, they in no wise affect
the fundamental questions of justice
/ emitting both man and woman to
equal voice in government. Men
would not generally agree to any
business partnership where one has
to have absolute control, regardless
of division of duties, similarly or dis
similarly of contributions to the part
nership. Depriving women of suf-
frage is a similar question and equal
ly unjust.
