COUNCIL VOTES TO GIVE
LADIES CHARGE OF PARKS

The civic improvement committee
OF the Ladies' Auxiliary presented a
proposition to the city council at its
recent session for the transfer Of the
care OF the three railroad" parks,
and the Riverside park, to that body.
The committee agreed to give the
parks all necessary care, to keep the
fountain in the recently construct
ed pond at the railroad park, corner
OF Sixth and F streets, running, and
90 all necessary work In all the
parks, at $50 per month.
Opposition at once developed on
the part of some of the councilmen
to the REIMBURSEMENT of the care Of
the parks, but Mr.. Everton's motion
to give the Ladies' Auxiliary, full
control over the city's park property,
and to allow $50 per month for the
service, was carried. Councilmen
Daniels Herzinger and Clark voted
a gainst the new order OF things
In order to transfer the care of
the parks to the ladies' It was neces-
sary to repeal ordinance No. 2S4,
and the council voted for such re-

THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRA-
TIoN.

The question as 10 having a Fourth
OF July celebration this year In
Grants Pass has been discussed pro
and con by many citizens. Those IA
voring such a celebration demand a
program Of sufficient interest to at
tract people from all parts OF the
county and adjacent territory. The
Courier Is inclined to favor the plan
offered by E. r. Lawrence OF the BIZ
jou, who by the way is a member OF
a committee chosen by the trustees
OF the Commercial club to solicit
subscriptions for the celebration He
first says that he is opposed to get
ting any subscriptions until pro-
gram is prepared. People, before
agreeing to pay money, will want to
know what It is for. That, OF course,
ia the way d Snowman would natur-
ally look pt a matter OF this kind.
1t is Mr.. Lawrences opinion that
an aeroplane should be the main fea-
ture OF a celebration this year. He
thinks that people will come from a
great distance to see a flying ma
chine. Other popular attractions
should be added and It's all import
ant, he says, that everything on the
program be carried out TO the let
ter. He believes there is an oppor-
tunity to get an aeroplane for that
occasion at comparatively small cost,
AS he has constant dealing with par
ties who furnish these attractions
and he Is todsy In telegraphic COM
with them on this sub
ject, but may not be able to deter.

the regular monthly meeting OF the

Mr.. Lawrence says II is useless to
try to get up a celebration to make

thinks II should be absolutely free to
e7erybody The cost, he thinks, of
pulling of the celebration can be
made nominal amount Being a

ness, his opinions will be accepted as
worth something. The committee
should have time to go over this mat
ter and And out whether II is prac
tlcable to undertake the celebration.

A TRULY GREAT MAN.

one is astonished at the few really
great men this world produces OF the
million born every year. What is
meant by the great men are those
who do important work relating to
human progress We are not speak
Ing OF politicians or great generals,
but that other class who do some
thing beneficial to the human race.
On September u, 1856, Scotland
produced one OF these great men
named JOAN Loudou Macadam. In
1915 he was appointed surveyor gen
eral OF the Bristol roads, and in this
position he developed what has since
become known as the macadam road
way. He made rapid strides In road
making and In 1927 was made sener-
ri surveyor Vi roads Tor the Kingdom
OF Great Britain. He expended many
thousands OF dollars from his own
private purse in carrying out his sys-
ten Of road making and he refused
Knighthood when rendered him, but
later In life he was persuaded to ac-
cept gift from the government Of
10000 pounds. He died November
26, 1885, but HIS work has been going
on ever since and has been increasing
In volume To this man England, Ire
land and Scotland, as we'll as other
adjoining countries, owe their system
OF good roads.
The United sta,c ong ago under
took and succeeded in building roads
on the macadam plan and each year
has increased the popularity OF these
highways Last year the number OF
good roads 5uilt on this plan more
than doubled. and next yoar a large
percentage OF gain will be made. The
state OF Oregon has become fairly In
terested In this method OF road con-
structlon and the year 1912 will see
many hundreds OF miles Of John Lou
don Macadam's roads built.
OF course, many improvements
have been made In regard to prepar-
Ing the material for these highways.
We no longer break the stone by hand
but he wonderful rock crusher does
the business with sreat rapldIty. We
no longer settle the road foundation
with the time honored maui but the
steam roller does the work. Added
to the coarse broken rock first used
are hne screenings and this forms by
the finishing touches Of the twelve
ton steam roller, a highway that has
been doing great service to everyone
except that class who run automobiles
at a speed OF from 80 to so miles an
hour
No mscadam road can stand up un-
der the vacuum creating influence of

are now studying to find material
with which to cover the m1cl'eu.

Third Party--Not Yet--But Soon

Roosevelt proposed progressive party
are Harvester Trust Perkins and Mil.
lionaire Medill Mccormick, while the
Wilson victory was won in spite OF
the opposition OF Wallst and with the
open reputation by the progressive
democracy OF the special privilege ele-
ment.
Woodrow Wilson stands as the
candidate Of the plain people OF Amer
lea, unspotted by plutocracy, unobli-
gated and unpledged TO any trust or
money bag whatsoever, and he runs
on a platfor mwritten or inspired or
dictated by the great commoner OF
Nebraska who by the test OF time has
proven his immoyable fidelity TO his
conception of the highest welfare of
the masses.
What demand is there. then, al this
juncture for the springing OF new
political party project?
Why try 10 split the progressives
and thus strengthen the cause OF the
reactionaries as represented by Presi-
dent Taft?
And there is another reason why
the Roosevelt progressive party enter
prise is inopportune and unwice al
this particular time and under exist
| Ing condition. viz: A progressive
movement In the form Of new politi-
cal party should not be handicapped
on the start by the favor OF partisan
ism, the faint OF trustism and the
existance OF suspicion as TO the gen
uineness Of the progressiveness OF
! some OF the ring leaders In the ven
| ture.
II would be much better, from every
/ standpoint il seems to me, to wait
until after the present battle OF the
| people against the privilege seeking
people plunderers has been fought
and then inaugurate a general move
ment that would be neither Republi-
can nor Democratic, but simply pro-
gressiye, and one that would side-step
time-bred partisan prejudices and ap-
peal 10 real progressives OF all politi-
cal tribes.

BY GEORGE A. FERRIS

When in the course OF human
events" the TWO great political par
ties OF a great republic get 10 be or
ganization houses that are divided
against themselves and each political
party is split up and down the back
BY the fierce and inevitable battle
between re forces OF progression
and the hosts OF transgression. prop
er conception OF the logical fitness OF
things requires that the progressive
patriotic leaders in both the Republf
can and Democratic organizations get
together and take steps to merge the
millions OF real reformers under the
banner OF progression and in the
capacity OF a new great political
party
But not quite yet-not this year
not until after the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November, 1912
not until after Woodrow Wilson has
been cinched for four years in the
White House
In other words. Theodore Roosevelt
and George W. Perkins and third par
ty movement are as much out of or
der" as a horse with the stomach

II strikes me that Mr. Roosevelt has
the chance OF his life TO make an ex

by taking the pen and the stump fol

In cold storage until after the heat o.
the Impending political battle has sub

OF the rank and file OF the Republican

nothing but the successful cheating
