WOODSTOCK NEWS
A Woman for the SCHOOL,
Board.

We consider it of prime import
ance that a woman be elected to the
School Board at the next town
meeting.
Florence Lee Whitman of Cam.
bridge, Mass, sister of Professor
Frederic Lee, says: "No family
could get on successfully without 9
woman, no matter how efficient the
man at the head. A woman's fam
iliarity with the problems of child
hood makes women fitted to serve on
the school committee" Mrs. Whit
man is a member of the school board
of Cambridge.
AS the majority of the teachers
are women, it is only reasonable that
at least one woman should be on the
Board. AS the men have served on
the Board through all the years, it is
only matter of plain justice that a
woman be elected.
Women are serving in this capa-
city in many states with credit to
themselves, with marked benefit in
behalf of the schools. Not alone are
they members of school Boards but
they are town and County Superin-
tendents, yes, they have served eff
GENTLY as State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. Ella Flagg
Young is the able Superintendent of
the Chicago schools and now Cleve-
land has made a woman Superin-
tendent of its schools. Woodstock
has women who are thoroughly cap
able of serving on the school Board.
See that one of them is elected.

FINDS VACANT LAND.
Thomas Peterson Files on Forty
Acres Near Ashland.

Walter Brisbane of this city dis
covered 40 acres of valuable govern
ment land eight miles out on the
Dead Indian road, part of which was
fenced and used by ranchers for
growing crops.
Thomas A. Peterson of Salem, in
looking for a home in the Rogue
river valley, was shown this tract and
jumped at the chance to file on it..
After he did so so he purchased over
$500 worth of lumber and supplies
in Ashland and hauled them to the
land, where he was threatened with
arrest for trespass and ordered not
to unload his lumber, etc. But Pc
terson would not be bluffed or
scared and secured the county sur
veyor, who located his lines, and now
he is going ahead to build on and
improve his homesite with the gov
ernment of the United States to back
him
The time has come when ranchers
can no longer keep valuable govern
ment land covered up with fences,
crops and bluffs. Open farm land is
too valuable to be overlooked much
longer. This is an example of the
opportunities still to be had in south
ern Oregon.-N. F. Throne.

MUNICIPAL WOOD YARD
j. f. RochO Has Plan for Settlement
of the Tramp Problem-Has Seen
IL Successfully Carried Out.

]. F. Rocho is working on a plan
for the settlement of the tramp prob
lem, which he says will do away for
ever with the nuisance. Mr.. Rocho
has just entered the wood business
and intends to present to the council
a plan that will work to the good
of the city as well as furnish him
labor at all times in his wood yard.
He says the scheme was tried in his
former home, Greeley, Colo, and
worked so successfully that he has no
fears for it here.
The plan is simple. Tickets are
made out, each of which is good for
a meal. These tickets are distributed
among the residents of the city and
when the hobo calls at your door for
a bite he is given a ticket which en-
titles him to a meal after he has
shown his deservedness by saving
wood for an hour or so. Thus the
deserving ones are furnished with
the needed employment and the
worthless are sent out of town by the
police. The feeding of hoboes by
residents is prohibited under the sys-
TEN.

TEDDY STILL FIRM.
Action of Democrats Will Not Stop
New Party.

Oyster Bay, July al shall of
course continue to stand for the pro-
gressive nomination" said Colonel
Roosevelt after he heard last night of
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
The former president stated his be-
lief that events in the democratic as
well as in the republican convention
demonstrated the need of a new
party.
The national convention of the new
party will be held in Chicago, it was
decided yesterday, probably during
the first week in August. Colonel
Roosevelt declared that the demo-
cratic nomination could after all be
obtained only by the support of men
like Taggart of Indiana and Sullivan
of Illinois, and the success of the can
didate at the polls without regard to
his personality would be conditioned
not only upon the party support of
Taggart and Sullivan and their col
leagues and representatives in every
other state from New York to Colo
rado, but also be conditioned upon
these men succeeding in carrying
their several state tickets and per-
petuating themselves in the control
of the democratic party"
