AUSTRALIAN RUGBY TEAM
WILL COMPETE IN L.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-
When the Australian Rugby team ar
rives here October to play a series
of games with the California Rugby
union, the visitors will be accorded
welcome and reception that will out
do even that given by an American
team on its visit to the antipodes two
years ago, which was said to have
been the greatest ever extended to
AN American team abroad, if the
plans under way here today are GER
ried out.
A special meeting of the Califor-
mia Rugby union has been called for
Monday night, at which all colonials,
Britons and others interested in the
visit of the Australians, have been
invited, to draw up a program for

THAT is RIGHT-SEND THE
SCOUNDRELS TO THE PEN
ITENTIARY.

The fair city of Portland owes it TO
itself to hunt up the scoundrels who
disgraced it on the occasion of the
visit of ex-President Roosevelt by the
distribution of filthy circulars among
the crowds drawn together on that
occasion. The Eugene Register of
yesterday voices the sentiment of all
decent people on that subject. 1t
says:
Let us all hope, for the sake Of
the fair name of the state OF Oregon,
that whoever is responsible for the
vicious and libelous and lying circu-
lars that were circulated among the
crowds when Colonel Roosevelt
spoke in Portland will be caught, and
that law will be found under which
the perpetrator of the contemplate
act may be sent to the penitentiary.
The case is now in the hands of the
grand jury, snd people of all colors
OF political beliefs are urging action.
The circulars were printed and cir
culated by people who profess to be
political enemies of Mr. Roosevelt. 1t
might be added that they are enem-
les of decency as well, Politics is far
from being clean game, but the
circulation of dirty and unfounded
rumors is too unclean even for poll
tics.
There are many who differ with
Colonel Roosevelt's views and who
believe that he is ambitious and self
seeking, and that his greed for power
is menace to the nation, but there
are few who deny that he is one of
americas greatest citizens-if not
one of the greatest of the worlds cit
liens. His private life is his own-it
does not concern the public-but the
public will be prone to believe that
his private life must have been clean,
else he could never risen to the COM
manding position that he holds in the
public life.
&C. If anyone is disposed to disagree
with Colonel Roosevelt his public
acts give abundant occasion, but any
attack on his private life is utterly
contemptble.

KEEP THE CHILDREN AT
SCHOOL.

1t is encouraging to note that in
many OF the states the question of
keeping children at school until
such time as they have had an oppor-
tunity to acquire practical knowledge
is being acted upon.
The Pennsylvania Child Labor as
sociaton is doing the next generation
service in advocating a law which
will keep children at school until
either they have attained their 10th
year or have passed successfully
through the fifth primary grade. Al
present It is considered sufficient II
a child is II years old and knows
how to read and write
At Il years neither body nor mind
is developed sufficiently to meet and
bear the strain OF toiling to earn a
livelihood AZ IA only the gifted
child has made more than a perfume
tory acquaintance with books and
their store OF useful knowledge.
There will be children always of
more than average intelligence, who
can be relied on to complete the
specified grade long before they are
l6 But these children are the ones
who would benefit most by extra
years Of tutelage,
They should be kept in school as
long as their parents can spare them
from the ranks OF the family bread
winners Their brighter minds en-
title them TO az least as many years
Of selt-improyement as the law al
lots to their duller fellows.
This subject should be taken up
by the Oregon legislature as there
are too many boys and girls who are

LET THE PEOPLE RULE"

Ex-senator Beyeridge of Indiana

following:
The root of the wrongs which
hurt the people is the fact that the
peoples government has been taken
away from them-the invisible gov
ernment has usurped the peoples
government Their government
must be given back to the people.
And so the first purpose of the pro-
gressiye party is to make sure the
rule OF the people The rule of the
people means that the people them
selves shall nominate, as we'll as
elect, all candidates for office. in
cluding senators and presidents of
the United States. What prohteth

anticipated, and there were still
sight-seers on the ground when it
came hour for closing. The first con-
cert by the Commercial club band
was listened to by a throng of de-
lighted auditors, and this feature will
attract on the remaining nights of
the exposition.
One OF the educational features of
the fair is found in the space on the
north side of the inclosure where the
display of products raised on the
granite soil is seen. This feature is
under the personal supervision of.
Messrs. Jos. Moss and w. b. Sher-
man, both experts in soil conditions,
and the visitor to this department
can learn much concerning the char
acter and the methods of handling
the decomposed granite soil of which
there is a large acreage in Josephine
county. In this display are to be
found not only the products of the
soil, but samples of the soil itself
in some instances soil being shown in
which the fruit or vegetables display
ed were grown. The conditions of
growth and of culture are also
known, and these interesting details
give one much better idea of some
of the conditions that have hereto
fore been more or less bewildering.
1t has been suggested that this fea-
ture be carried a step farther next
year, and special competitive exhib-
its be made of products from the var
ious soils found in the valley, espec-
tally from the granite, the red and
the river-bottom.

THE USE OF LINE ADVANTAGE
Gus.

An authority on the use of lime
says that the most suitable time to
apply it is when preparing the land
for crop, say of potatoes, corn or
wheat. As a top dressing on young
clover and grass, it is highly benefi-
cial. Much Of the land in Josephine
county can be benefited by the use Of
lime and quite a number of people
during the past season have applied
II with good results. Regardless of
the kind of line used great care
needs to be used to spread it thor
oughly and evenly over the land.
The best results can not be had from
lime unevenly spread and left to lie
in Jumps. The most practical meth
cd is to have the lime thoroughly fine
and to spread It with a lime or ferti-
lizer distributor.
