Whereas, The freedom of the

Whereas, The government of the

you twenty-five years ago. If you
have kept your files turn back and
see.
If you had been at St. Louis in
1896, and heard the nice things I
said of you when we were trying to
force Jim Jones and Bryan to accept
you, and take old "SewelT' off the
ticket, you possibly would not have
said some things in your "facetious"
letter you did.
1 still contend that you can't fight
Bourbon Democrats" and "Stand-
pat Republicans" with platitude.

was printed his argument" against
the Glass-OWen bill.
If you knew Joe as well as I do,
personally, do not believe you
would have gotten off the gag" ex-
pressions on him you did.
All you big Politicians" from
Blaine and Bob Toombs, clear along
down the line, make supreme mis-
take in failing to listen to the "boys
in the trenches.
Wilson and Bryan are just now
engaged in making some mistakes,
which with two others recently
made by Bryan will create a situa-
ton that your great-grand children
will never see another Democratic
President.
But my experience of SO years
teaches me that all politicians of all
parties are aIike-cold-bloo self
opinionated, egotistic, and fool
hardy. Respectfully,

for the future of our country is
gloomy indeed. Two years ago in
conversation with preacher (who
agreed with me) he asked me how it
could be averted. We replied the
only hope is in the pulpit, and the
mothers. 1t was a horrible mistake
to enfranchise the negro with quail

One Of the greatest reunions and
celebrations aver held In the history
Of the world is finishing today at
Gettysburg. Fifty years ago from
July / to 4th was fought the battle Of
Gettysburg. IL was one of the largest
engagements Of the civil war, and the
most important. 1t turned the tide
against the south, and the rest Of the
war was simply closing exercises.
When the time Of the fftieth an.
niyersary Of that battle approached
It was determined to have q monster
reunion on that day Of what was left
Of tha soldiers on both sides. The
government made an appropriation.
Pennsylvania made a large appIopria-
tion, and provided for the paying Of
the transportation to and from the
battlefield Of every old soldier on both
sides who was 10Y living In the state,
and Of every Pennsylvania soldier who
participated in the battle, no matter
where he now lived. Most Of the
other states made similar appropria-
tions for the transportation Of SOL
oilers. Fifty thousand old soldiers
gathered there this week, and had. q
great time greeting old friends and
enemies. The old men, some how or
other, managed to stand the great
heat, and there were comparatively
few heat p~rostrations. A few Of the
old soldiers died on the grounds, but
considering the weather there were
remarkably few fatalities.

John Duncan, a farmer from the
Animas valley, whose farm is south,
near the Mexican line, was In town
this week, on his way to the coast to
enjoy salt water for a few weeks.
Duncan says ne has got his crops all
in, and there is nothing to do on his
place until the rains come and the
crops grow, and while waiting he
might as we'll be enjoying himself on
the coast as waiting on his farm.
Duncan claims to be the best farmer
In the Animas, and as proof Of it
points out that he is the only farmer
on the Animas who al afford to take
a vacation at this time Of the year,
and go to the coast, which looks like
pretty good proof.

that are being made In the tariff
schedule under the bill proposed by
the democratic congress. The busi-
ness OF the country has been adjust

In. and some of the industries will
require time for readiustment. Es-
pecially will the west feel the infiu-
ence OF the change II the bill goes
through as It is proposed. The sheep
owner, the lumberman and the sugar
planter will be especially affected.
The new federal income tax will in
great measure make up tho deficit
that the reduction OF the tariff will
create, and already Wall street has
been figuring on Just how much each
of the men OF money will have to
loosen up" each year to meet this
new demand OF Uncle Samuel. John
d. Rockefeller heads the list with an
annual contribution OF $4,000, 900,
while William Rockefeller will have
to come through with $500, 900. 9th

western and southern Oregon. Gen
tlemen from Grants Pass only last
week attempted TO bring an auto
truck through from Portland. In
the Willamette valley the roads were
deep with mud and water, and the
trip was abandoned and the machine
sent through by train. Once In the
Rogue valley IT'S troubles were over.
AS early as March 18th a big car
from Los Angeles passed through
Grants Pass enroute to the north. In
Its report Of the trip the Rogue roads
are commended, but both north and
south OF this valley serious difficulty
was found In getting through, and
several nights we're passed in the ma
chine stuck In sea OF mud"
With the natural advantage In the
way OF road building the Rogue val
ley should make every endeavor TO
realize upon the asset by improving
the main highways as rapidly as pos
sible. Many people come here be-
cause our roads are the best in the
state, and because We are making an
honest effort to make them still bet
ter.
