| visit to the Creche even in stormy weather such as came this week, is a bright experience, and can but give gen. uine pleasure to the real lover of child hood who knows the value of Mama Ramsey's'' care of the little ones. Mrs. Charles Thomas visited with me the ohil- srcn in the kindergarten, the only ones sut of school, Friday morning, and they were all so bright, such a happy, merry little group, that we wanted to take them all home with us. Miss Rumph, the kim iergarten teacher, was playing a spright- y tune and the youngsters danced and played, their small bodies swaying and
 moving, their faces refiecting the bright ness of the story the melody was telling. 1 know not why, but the children seemed cosier, less like the children of the very poor than they did last year, Their cloth Ing, as always, was clean and good and we'll kept their little faces and hands as clean and lovely as good children's are supposed always to be; and though con- troiled, they were as merry and jolly a little party as one well might find. A lit- gle child cut of whom the joy of life has been crushed, 1t is a pitlable sight; and in the sunshine of the love which surrounds thein at the home, those sad little ones

SENATOR BOB ON

DECLARES PROGRESSIvES WILL
HOLD BALANCE OF POWER IN
NATIONAL CONVENTION AND
DICTATE PROGRESSIVE PLAT
FORM AND CANDIDATE.


CHICAGO, March 20.-T believe
the real progressives will hold the
balance of power in the Chicago
convention against both President
Taft and Roosevelt. That is what
we are going to fight for-for the
balance of the power, debating the
really progressive platform and put
ting really progressives upon It,"
This declaration was made by Sen
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette here to-
day before he boarded his train at
1890 o'clock, bound for Washing
ton. He was accompanied by Mrs.
LaFollette and Miss Nellie Dunn,
his private secretary.
THE returns from North Dakota
confirm my impression" continued
the senator. IL never saw people
more aroused. Those North Dako-
tans understand the issue. The peo'
pie of North Dakota could not be In
huenced by any attempt to make
this a personal issue. They cast
their ballots on the basis of a pro-
gressive principle. am convinced
that the situation In North Dakota Ii
typical of the progressive movemen,
In all progressive states, The count
of ballots shows that the people car
not be stampeded. They know thai
the great problems confronting III
have not been aggressively or con
structively met by either Roosevelt
or Taft. The time to talk has gone
by; the time to do is at hand.
II shall return to Washington
and spend 10 days preparing for

4 LaFollette in speaking of his planI
for an active nomination campaign
II will then start west, and visit ev

laws give the people at least voice
in saying who will be the next presi
Dental nominee. | shall go to Ne
braska first, then Oregon, then Cali
fornia, returning to South Dakota.
Maine and Massachusetts will
also be visited.
"The wonderful contrast we hav'
seen between the steadfastness o
North Dakotans and the stampedini
of professional politicians in man,
parts of the country leads me to be
lieve that the progressive principle
will be upheld without compromise.
Senator LaFollette was in higl
spirits.

mind, was never in doubt. knew
the farmers would do their share to-
ward having the state declare in IA
vor of man of such constructive
ability as Senator LaFollette. II
was a glorious victory and is shared
by both business men and farmers.
1t proves the old, old adage that
right must prevail. LaFollettes
majority will be upwards OF $4,000"
John Bass, state leader Of the
Roosevelt faction, attributed Senator
LaFollette's victory to the fact that
both Speaker Champ Clark and Gov
ernor Wilson remained on the dem
ocratic ticket, both candidates hav-
ing agreed to allow the democratic
vote to go uncontested as a compli-
ment to Governor Burke. Bass SAID;
81 have nothing to say. The re-
suit speaks for itself II the demo-
Gratis had stayed out of the republi-
can primary the result would have
been different. Hundreds of demo-
Gratis voted for Senator LaFollette." 4"
Chairman Frank Talcott, of the
republican state committee, who con-
Quoted the Roosevelt campaign, said;
I'VE have received returns from
approximately two-thirds of the coun-
ties and at present can only estimate
the result in the missing districts
from the returns received from other
districts. Estimating the result in
the missing districts on the same ba-
sis as those heard from, the indica-
tions are that Senator LaFollette has
carried two-thirds of the counties.
However, 1t is impossible to estimate
the final vote"

CITY LIGHTING.


To keep the record straight" the
statement that the contract between
the city and the electric company, re-
Gently declared by City Attorney Col
Wig to be null and void, was made by
former Mayor Myers and City Auditor
NJ. l.. opdyeke, is in error so far as
Myers is concerned. The contract
was signed by DR.. j. c. Smith, as
mayor, and Judge opdyeke, author
ICED by the council Myers was a
councilman at that time, and cnair-
man of the street committee. The
fact that the city attorney has de-
clared the contract void was because
no record exists on the minutes tnat
such a contract was authorized and
for other reasons, say the present
powers that be.
The matter recalls some interest
ing history of couple of years ago,
and was a triumph for the city over
the electric company, the fight being
led for the municipality by j. ID. Fry.
The council named a committee of
citizens to get contract out of the
electric company. This citizens COM
mittee was composed of r. l.. Coe,
chairman; j. ID. Fry, l.. b, Hall and
Claus Schmidt Myers, as chairman
of the street committee, was active in
the work with the committee. BY
tacit consent the matter was left
largely in the hands of j. ID. Fry. The
people here wanted cluster lights,
Roseburg had cluster lights of less
candlepower than Grants Pass pro-
posed and was paying more than 50,
about $2.04, per month per cluster
and had to furnish poles and main
tain the lamps. Mr.. Fry told the cleo
trio company it had to beat that here
that he wanted a contract for the
city at $1.75 for larger power, the
company to furnish the poles and
maintain the lamps. This was refused
bluntly. But after fight Mr. Fry
had the pleasure of seeing the com
pany sign contract to this effect, in
cluding a rate of S1.25 for 32-candlt
power lights over the city at large.
Mr.. Fry also told the telephon,
people that before the paving Wen
in on main street that the poles mus
come down. This caused another cor
poration roar. "I'll chop them dowr
If you don't take them down." sale
Mr.. Fry. 'Dor't, We will take then
down." said Mr.. Phillips, the man
ager, who lived in Medford. Thi
word was sent to Mr.. Fry. Civ,
Mr. Phillips my regards said Mr.
Fry, "and tell him | am one of thu
best friends he has" And speaking
Of the matter Saturday the Grant
Pass banker said, "And we have beel
good friends ever since. | had NJ
legal right, neither did the city, t
cut down Phillips poles, and Phillip
knew 1t, and We knew It, but it was
case where a corporation did not car,
to run counter to such strong publ
sentiment. Hence we won"
Mr.. Fry said, when speaking Sat
urday of the light contract, that n,
was present when the report of tn
citizens committee was adopted, an,
Mayor Smith and Auditor Opdyck
authorized by the council to enter in
to the contract.
The contract is dated March 29
1910, and for the company is signel
by c. X. Ray, president, and II, c
Stoddard, secretary
