PRACTICAL COOPERATION.

II Grants Pass wants a pay roll IL
must interest practical people along
ali lines. Ii is useless TO expect men
who are not acquainted with a bust
ness to make a success OF It. We have
made several attempts in that line
and Of course, as might be expected,
have failed. Our cannery might be
working today II we had known Just
how to do It. Our attempt at irrlga-
ton would be much farther along
we had known more about the bust
ness, and several other things might
be mentioned which have been fail
ures because OF a lack OF knowledge.
In the future let us take up things
and have a practical man at the head.
We need many things and can have
them II we will look up the men VINO
have the knowledge. 1t is true we
have not been successful In co-opera-
tion but we can be II we make kIowL
to the world our opportunities here
In all lines where cooperation is
needed. Here ls an illustration OF
what ls being done over in Idaho in
the line OF fruit industry:
The fruit industry OF the Lewis
toni Charleston valley and the Snake
River section between Lewiston and
Riparia is now providing employment
for 1,125 people and the daily carr
ings are in excess OF $4,000.
At the present time there are 275
people engaged in the packing and
canning operations in Lewiston and
Charleston, while 975 are given en-
ployment in the Lewiston and Clark
ston orchards and the orchards east
OF the city. At Alpowa there are rs
employed in the orchards and in the
packing plants, while $50 are en-
ployed in the orchards and packing
establishments between Alpowa and
Riparia.
There are number OF things that
can be undertaken in Grants Pass by
cooperation II we, as has been said
before, get the right man or men to
lead We need creamery and
should have one within the next
twelve months. Such plant will
add to the Importance OF the city as
business center. The Commercial
club has had some OF these things in
mind and we trust that 1t will sue
coed in making deal in the near fu-
ture.

it will be in operation early this fall.
The plan Is TO set out a large acre

and these will be both canned and
dried They are already making
contracts with growers who will
raise loganberries, evergreen black
berries and red raspberries. The
factory and plan OF work is to be
the same as the Eugene and Salem

Known to have been a success. Prac-
tical men working together can sue

BATTLE OF DEMoCRACY's
GIANTS OVER.

The nomination OF Woodrow VIII
son, the New Jersey schoolmaster, is
In itself a great victory for the
nominee, but TO William Jennings
Bryan comes the oyershadowing
glory Of the work at Baltimore. He
met the same interests that had
steam rolled the Chicago conven-
ton, but without delay commenced
the gigantic political battle with the
gathering OF the clans on the 25th.
He Ditted his strength and his
strategy against the Tammany lead
ers and the conservative element.
and that he won finally and com
pletely, FIRST through the action OF
the committee on resolutions which
he dominated, and now In the nam
Ing OF Wilson as the party standard
bearer despite the powerful influence
OF New York and her 80 delegates,
marks him as his party leader and
as one OF the nations greatest char
acters.
The convention was not without
Its disturbing features, moments
when reason seemed almost de-
throned to force, but always the VIII
son and Bryan alliance emerged with
credit to itself and with victory
nearer.
Bryan had announced that his
hight was for the people. There
were those, however, who believed
that the desire OF the commoner was
to ultimately have himself named to
lead his party. but his every action
disproves this He flung down the
gauntlet when he knew that 1t would
cost him heavily in personal follow
Ing within the convention, and make
his own nomination impossible He
stood staunchly for the principles he
had advocated and his every effort
was to press the nomination of Will
son to a successful issue.
The proceedings OF the conven-
tion throughout were marked by the
evident desire of the delegates to
settle all questions, but to settle
them right and leave harmony with
In the party. Despite the personal
differences that may have resulted,
the party itself ls as nearly harmon
ious as we are apt to find following
a conflict OF great leaders,
There are thousands OF republi-
cans who would have gloried In an
opportunity to vote for VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan, in whose patriotism,
hdelity to purpose, and lovable per-
sonality they find much to admire.
But II is not likely that they will fol-
low the democratic standard under
other leadership Republicans were
attracted to Bryan largely through
his personality, and democracy must
not expect to profit greatly through
this admiration next November.

NEED IS FOR SPECIALIZATION
Work Of Yearc las Shown That Edu-
cation OF Children Cannot
Be Sta dardized.

If the children came into the
world standariacd like the parts OF
an automobile, tie educating of them
would be a much simpler matter
than it is today. Likewise, it would
be a deal less interesting.
Fortunately or unfortunately, chill
dren are not so standardized. One
has a ten-candlepower intellect, SO
to speak, and one a three. Moreover
even those who have substantially
the same brain power, require diff
ferent treatment to get that brain
power in action.
To vary the metaphor, one child
has the entrance to the house of his
mind on the front porch, where ev.
eryone can see and reach it. An.
other, with quite as large a house.
may have the entering door hidden
in some side angle, where the casual
passerby will never see it.
The boy of Is who drags in his
class in fifth grade can grasp an cleo
trical problem better than his father
or his teachers. In that line, he il
ahead of the average high school
student. The house Of his mind has
its door in an electrical recess.
The world did well to insist or
education. The world will do better
when that education is more indi.
vidualized, more fitted to each spe
cial case.
