NATIONAL GUARD COMPANY.

The young men around Grants
Pass should get busy and once more
organize a company OF the nation
al guard. II has been about doz-
en- years since Company II was dis
banded and the time has come for
the martial spirit to once more
aroase that better class Of young
men to be found so numerously In
this city. In organizing another COM
pany It must be remembered that
tho national guard has changed to
considerable extent since our COM
pany went out OF existence
Under the present law, the nation
al guard is subject to active service
whenever the president calls for II
In any state, territory or the District
OF Columbia, to be employed by the
forces OF the United States. The pres
ident specifies In his call the period
OF such service. aud the organized
militia thus summoned to the field,

In or without the territory of the
United States, unless sooner relieved
by the presidents order by the ex-
listing national law, approved in
1903 aud amended In 1908, the
president is empowered to call oat
the national guard. according to the
military needs OF the federal govern
mel arising from the necessity TO
execute the laws OF the union, sup
re@s insurrection or repel invasion,
when such emergencies can not ue
met by the regular forces, In
word, the national guard is subject
to the Presidents call, and can be
sent to the field, in or out Of the
country along with tho regular
army.
The misconceptlon on this point
is due TO the fact that the militia
during the Spanish war was not
available for Immediate duty at the
Presidents call, but was arst mus
tered In as state volunteers, TO be
again mustered later on into the
government service But now the
president call sends the national
guard at once into active service.

MINING VICTORY AT SPOKANE.

MINING VICTORY AT SPOKANE.
The letter published yesterday In
The Courier from Secretary L. d.
Malone OF the Oregon branch OF the
American Mining congress congratu-
lsting the people Of Josephine coun-
ty on their splendid exhibit sent to
Spokane, is matter OF the highest
Importance. as It breathes words OF
encouragement to those interested
In the developemnt OF our mines.
The wisdom of sending this exhibit
to Spokane has never been question
cd, and those who took the leading
part In the important action are de
serving OF the strongest words OF
commendation. The people OF this
county should make the most OF the
victory won at Spokane and the mat
ter should be put In some shape that
II may be sent broadcast to the min
Ing men Of the entire country.

THUNDER FROM A CLEAR SKY.

@eOAA a VILLAIN oh 10
The loudest political note sound
cd, so far. in this campaign is the sug-
gestion OF Roosevelt and johnson for
president and vice president. To those
republicans who have prayed long and
feryently to have their party rescued
from machine politics, the suggestion
comes as bright bow of promise
athwart the presidential sky. These
are two names to conjure with and
their mention will cheer the heart OF
every progressive from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. These are the names
which can unite the east and the west,
the north and the south.
The uniting OF these two names was
seemingly new thought and comes
ss surprise To the country. II re-
mains to be seen what the political
effect will be. II Is certainly thun-
der clap, as II were, from a clear SKY.

THE ANNUAL INSTITUTE.

The institute was held here on
the 27-29 of May, three of the
gloomiest days Lincoln county has
seen since the heavy mid-winter
storms, so far as the weather was
. concerned, but in the Principals
room of the High School building
it was quite different. There all
was sunny. The pleasing express
ions and pleasant words were evil
dence that each one in attendance,
teachers as well as instructors were
having pleasant as well as a pro-
fitable time The teachers all
seemed to enjoy themselves so much
that Mrs. Fulkersuon, one of the
instructors. said that the teachers
of Lincoln county had found the
way to "Lafferty Town" a place
where all good teachers go OCCASION
ally, if they don't remain there all
the time. notwithstanding the
bad weather and muddy roads there
was large number in attendance.
Owing to miscalculations Super
intendent Alderman was not able
to be with US, but E. f. Carleton,
the Assistant Superintendent of
Public Instructions, was here and
took his place, giving an interest
ing lecture at Woodman Hall, and
helping with the daily program in
the school building. Mrs. Mamie
Fulkerson gave us some Of the best
helps for the primary work. and no
small part Of it might be used to
good advantage in some of the
higher grades. She is one of Ore
CONS most successful primary
teachers. We had some good help
from our own Lincoln county teach
ers. 1t should be remembered that
all of the better teachers don't live
outside of our own county. Yes,
Chas. H. Jones was here, faithful
to the cause of education, as he
always is. There is no doubt that
he has attended more teachers in
stitutes, yes, two to one than any
other instructor in the state. He
always goes, and is the best of help.

last evening by unanimous vote set
aside this entire sum for premiums.
$125 will be given as prizes for the
schools exhibits, and the balance
of $500 will be given as prizes for
other general displays. This sum
will make a good, liberal prize
list and will be the means of re-
paying exhibitors for their trouble
and expense Of bringing their ex-
hibits. The Premium lists will be
OUT andad;stributed soon.
