BUSINESS AND WORLD PEACE.

The first emphasis of the Interna-
tional Chamber of Commerce meet
ing held the past week at Boston was
given to the subject of world peace.
If the foreign policies of the nations
of the world were in the hands of the
business men, instead of kings, en-
perors, mobiles and politicians, the
forts could all be sold for summer
resorts and the warships used for
Sunday school excursions.
The incessant friction between
European powers keeps the entire
world stirred up, it leads to enor-
nous expenditures for the latest
frills in armament, not merely across
the water, but in this country. The
standard of our naval expenditure is
closely determined by what England
and Germany are doing.
Foreign wars have always been a
favorite political trick of the old
world rulers. When social discon-
tent reached a high level, the people
out of work and not enough bread
for the hungry, the patriotic fervor of
war against hated traditional foe
would always convert political agita-
tors into soldiers.
If the police choke down free
speech among revolutionaries and
street corner demagogues, the spirit
rebellion and anarchy is multiplied.
If you send them abroad with the
troops, they may be killed off, and
anyway they forget all about their
political wrongs.
OF late years the enormous cost of
war and growing sentiment against
it as an act of folly, have usually led
to the substitution of diplomacy for
| fighting. But the cost of armaments
has become staggering burden on
the working man, in this country az
well as abroad, and in spite of diplo-
macy it increases each year.
The power of business has for sew.
eral years been the best preventive
of war. Many times when kings
and diplomats would have found wal
the solution that would have cos
them least, the bankers have stepped
in with their refusal to finance an!
such destructive proposition.
In every department of govern
ment the one problem of the day il
the United States and Europe is t,
reduce government to a business in
stead of a political basis. When tina
time comes, two nations will no NOR
think of going to war than the gro
Ger will think of collecting his pa
by threshing a delinquent customer

TO SELF BE TRUE.

This above all: To thine own self
be true,
And it must follow, as the night the
day,
Thou can'st not then be false to any
man. ."-Polonius in Hamlet.
In thinking of truth and in acting
it in our daily lives we are apt to fall
into false way or regarding it as
an attribute of great things, a COM
panions to great causes and works
The small lie, we argue, can do none
any harm and may make the road
sweeter or pleasanter to someone.
The little eXaggeration, which will
add interest and point to our telling
of this or that happening, is harm
less, we are pleased to think.
1t is true that as far as others are
concerned these little infringement'
may not entail any of the penalties
of falsehood.
But Wnat OF ourselves!
What would men think of our com.
forting and our wit if they knew
both were born of falsehood?
What have the centuries though
of the men and women who were
true to themselves and in that way
through scorn and assault, finall!
proved their truth to the best tha
was in men and matters?
The truth that counts is that which
is faithful to little things.
1t realizes the fact that before W.
can give anything we must in some
way get it. So before we can b'
truthful to others we must be to our
selves.
When we have achieved that, W.
have achieved great work in tn,
building of character.

RESCUE YANKEES.
Three Under COmpulsion Were Beg
ging Ransom When Saved.

Mexico City.-Three American cit
izens were rescued by rurales from
the rebels, just as they were being
compelled, at the muzzle of rifles, to
write letters to friends in the capi-
tai, asking for money for their ran
som.
The men were A. B. Skolen, L. J.
Slattery and c. J. Miller. They are
civil engineers and were engaged on
railway survey work when they were
captured by rebels and taken to a
camp near Amecameca, 80 miles
southeast of here. Their captors in
sisted that they were probably spies
or newspaper men, and in either case
they should be shot.
A body of rurales made an oppor-
tune attack on the rebel camp and
the prisoners were abandoned by the
rebels.

Bread No Longer Free in New York
Hotels.

New York.-With butter selling at
Al cents pound and flour at Sc a

have decided that their patrons will
have to come across" and pay for
their bread and butter now by the

So if you want bread and butter
with your meals now it will cost@you
10 cents extra, that being the price
agreed upon by members of the Ho-
tel Association
Moreover, no more single portions
of anything are to be served any
longer to two persons. From now
on, only one plate and one set of
knives and forks go with a single or

By these little economies hotel
men figure that they can save i'm

butter plan" into effect include the

SUICIDE HERE AND IN THE ORR
ENT.

If President Taft should die, and
If at the hour of his funeral Major
General Leonard Wood should pro-
ceed to cut his throat, as deed of
patriotic devotion or recognition OF
the man who had passed on, the
American people would say that it
was too bad he had not been locked
up in a good lunatic asylum before
he had hurt himself.
Similarly, if the Japanese people
suffered so great loss by the death
of their emperor, it was the duty of
General Nogi and all other loyal fol-
lowers to remain on earth and do the
best they could to carry on the ends
of civilization and progress for which
their master worked, instead of quit
ting the fight and committing hari-
kari.
This incomprehensible Oriental
practice is much as if man, having
lost his home by fire, should at once
proceed to go out and burn his barn,
to show how badly he felt about the
loss of the house.
There is only this to be said in
favor of the Japanese attitude: II
escapes the abnormal and morbid
fear of death existing among the
white races.
The Oriental mind, more spiritual
than the Occidental, feels by instinct
that the great forces of the universe
are kindly to man. He sees that
there is bread for the hungry man
and water for the thirsty. He
doubts not that into whatever form
the human soul may be transformed
after death, its legitimate longing
shall be satisfied
In our American life, suicides ar
rapidly increasing. To commit tina
act for the Japanese motive of eA
pressing a fanatical patriotism,
never dreamed of here. 1t is sin
ply the act of a coward who shirB
his share of life's burdens or the puI
ishments for his misdeeds.
Considering the stain which
suicide leaves upon a family nam
it may seem about the climax of cat
dishness to quit by giving your fan
lily and friends this last kick.

UNCLE WILL LIKELY DUCK.

So John Bull is going to try to
hale Uncle Sam before The Hague
tribunal for that Panama matter.
Well, we guess not. We suspect that
Uncle will take to the underbrush,
or ignore the summons, after the
fashion set by good Deacon Rockefel-
Ter.
1t is true that President Taft has
borne down heavily on the beauty
and blessedness of arbitration, but it
is also true that in the treaty of 1908
Uncle agreed to refer all his differ
ences with John to The Hague court
provided that they did not "affect the
vital interests, the independence or
the honor of the two countries" and
this proviso surely lets Uncle out.
What is Uncle Sans interest in
that canal? Commercial, without a
doubt, and every Britisher knows
that a nations commercial interests
are most vital. Uncle Sans deter
mination to give his coastwise vessels
some advantage surely involves his
vital interests, his commerce. Three
cheers for independence and honor
but the proposition involved in this
matter is simply that business is bus
mess, and the whole world would
laugh should Great Britain maintain
that such proposition is not vital.

FALL ADVERTISING.

The month of October is peculiarly
favorable to enterprise in advertis-
ing.
The buying public is looking for
new clothes and new house furnish
ings after the wear and tear of sum-
mer. All other times of the year you
have the dead weight of the buyers
indifference to work against. Now
the buyers are coming your way,
their attention and interest are ex-
cited, and the merchant merely has
to persuade them that he has the
goods and the values.
1t is a time too when buyers do
not expect quite the low prices that
can be had at off seasons. A dollar
spent in advertising now should save
the loss of many dollars on goods
that must be disposed of at a sacri-
flee later to get ready for another
season.
If you have any exceptionally
good values for the money, they will
be more likely to attract attention
now than at an off season, because
there is less price-cutting now to
compete with.
The merchant who has bought
goods at the right prices will find
them exceptionally welcome at this
season before special sales have be-
gun. Tell the public about them!
They'll respond

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Eugene Guard.)

Whether or not we believe as
Theodore Roosevelt believes, wheth-
er or not we would wish him to be
the next president of the United
States, there are certain qualities in
the man that make him easily one of
the foremost figures in American
history.
Yesterday he testified before the
senate committee which is investigat-
ing campaign contributions.
The worlds greatest financier and
the head of the worlds greatest cor
poration had testified previously, but
the appearance of neither of these
men created the sensation that did
the appearance of Roosevelt, the
man.
Whether or not his testimony is
compatible with the testimony of
others who claim they know, or
whether we believe that it is i'm
probable for a man to be in Mr..
Roosevelt's position and remain ig-
norant of enormous money contribu-
tions to campaign fund to elect
him, we must admire the versatility
and power of the man.
True to his character, yesterday he
dominated the committee-he SCI
the stage to suit himself and testi-
fled just as he desired. He talked
for over four hours, and after he got
through more than 1900 papers il
the United States printed almos
every word of his testimony for theil
readers. What other man in con
temporary public life can you thinl
of who would receive such consider
alton and attention?
Roosevelt is undoubtedly the mos
enthusiastically admired, the mos
hated, and at the same time the mos
feared individual in our public life

The people cannot afford to allow
the issues of the national campaign
to distract their attention from the
county judgeship fight. 1t is of as
much Importance to the voters of this
community that George Dunn be
elected county Judge as that their
favorite candidate be elected presi-
dent. The citizens may differ on ma
tional issues and candidate, but
there should be no difference on
their vote for county Judge. Taxes
are out of sight in Jackson county.
The community cannot prosper while
taxes are eXorbitant. The high tax
levy has been brought about through
the manipulation of the same gang
which is fighting George Dunn.
Those who want the business of the
county run on business principles,
who want a dollars worth of bene-
fits to the whole county for every
dollar spent from the county treas.
ury, should work as well as vote fol
the election of George Dunn fol
county judge and w. c. Leever fol
county commissioner.

Where does the Mail-Tribune stand
on the county judge fight? 1t says
not word. 1t is plainly to be seen
where George Putnam stands. He
is for TouVelle and he and TouVelle
have their heads together half the
time figuring out schemes to elect
him. By keeping the Mail-Tribune
silent the people have been fooled.
Putnam and the Medford politicians
are slick bunch. In the past they
have succeeded in putting it over on
all the rest of the county, but their
days are now numbered. They are
behind the candidacy of TouVelle and
that will defeat him. 1t was a big
mistake for TouVelle to go into q
deal with that gang.

DYNAMITE SAVES DOG.
Explosive Thrown Down to Kill
Opens Way to Freedom.

Chico, Cal.-"A dogs life might
not be so bad, after ALL" meditated
William Meek recently as he lodged
the muddy caresses of a valuable
hunting dog which had just rescued
himself from 75-foot well. When
the dog fell into an abandoned well,
Meek despaired of rescuing him, so
he threw three sticks of dynamite
down the shaft to end his misery.
When the n ;se of the explosion
died away the dog was still whining
and padding around in the water.
Meek started home for a gun. AS
he approached the house the dog ran
out to meet him. Investigation
showed that the dynamite had
opened up an old tunnel running into
the well, and the dog had ESCAPED
with the rush of water.

There is one overshadowing ad-
vantage to the American people in
the present political miXup. 1t is
as impossible for the expert political
statistician to figure out the prob
able result as it is for the common
voter. Nobody can tell how the cleo
tion is going. Under the old system
a clever state manager could get a
fairly accurate line on the situation
With such reliable information the
state committee knew where work
was most needed to carry it's point
The political boss did the work and
reaped the reward. Possibly out oi
a condition where the common voter
knows as much about affairs as the
political manager the common votel
may reap some benefits.

THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM.
(Fourth Installment.)
The Courts.

The progressive party demands
such restriction of the power OF the
courts as shall leave to the people
the ultimate authority to determine
fundamental questions of social well
fare and public policy. To secure
this end, it pledges itself to provide:
l. That when an act, passed un-
der the police power of the state, is
held unconstitutional under the
state constitution, by the courts, the
people, after an ample interval for
deliberation, shall have an opportun-
ity to vote on the question whether
they desire the act to become law,
Notwithstanding such decision.
2. That every decision of the
highest appellate court of state de-
claring an act of the legislature un-
constitutional on the ground of its
violation of the federal constitution
shall be subject to the same review
by the supreme court of the United
States as is now accorded to decisions
sustaining such legislation.
Administration of Justice.
The progressive party, in order to
secure to the people better admin
istration of justice and by that means
to bring about a more general re-
spect for the law and the courts,
pledges itself to work increasingly for
the reform of legal procedure and ju-
dicial methods.
We believe that the issuance of
injunctions in cases arising out of
labor disputes should be prohibited
when such injunctions would not ap-
ply when no labor disputes existed.
We also believe that person cited
for contempt in labor disputes, eX-
cept when such contempt was COM
mitted in the actual presence of the
court or so near thereto as to inter
fere with the proper administration
of justice, should have right to trial
by jury.
Department of Labor.
We pledge our party to establish
department of labor with a seat
in the cabinet, and with wide juris.
diction over matters affecting the
conditions of labor and living
Country Life.
The development and prosperity
of country life are as important tc
the people who live in the cities as
they are to the farmers. Increase
of prosperity on the farm will favor.
ably affect the cost of living and pro.
mote the interests of all who dwell
in the country and all who depend
upon it's products for clothing, shell.
ter and food.
We pledge our party to foster the
development of agricultural credit
and cooperation, the teaching of ag-
riculture in schools, agricultural col
lege extension, the use of mechanical
power on the farm, and to re-estab-
lish the country life commission
thus directly promoting the welfare
of the farmers, and bringing the ben.
efits of better farming, better busi.
ness and better living within theil
reach.

isting agencies of the federal govern
ment dealing with the public healtl
into single national health service

: the power to value the physical prop

power of the community to protect

of good roads and we pledge our par

an equitable percentage of all

levy an income tax.
