MEEK CHTDES WARES
FOR THEIR AMBITION
Former Democratic S ate
Chairman Says Bills" Fit
ness for Mayor Proven.

Sympathy for the Wares In their ambi-
ton to seize the government Of Phila-
delphia ls expressed by p. Gray Meek,
former Democratic state chairman, In
his newspaper, the Democratic Watch
man. Up in Bellefonte, Pa, where the
paper is published. the sympathetic state
metn of Mr. Meek caused much comment,
and the consensus of opinion seemed TO
be that he was right
After reminding the people that Ed"
and "Bill" had managed to draw several
millions of dollars out of the municipal
treasury and hold office almost cohtin-
uously for many years, the Watohman
dwells upon the statement made by
Brother Ed" in which he declared that
thorough knowledge Of contracts and
contractors was one of the qualifications
for the office of Mayor.
Regarding this announcement of the
Senator, the Watchman says: THAT is
candid, to say the least, and possibly 1t
may be true, also. And in that event
Bni's bank account is proof Of fitness"
In order that the voters may not for
get the progress made by the wares,
the Waterman then goes on to say:
-Four years ago the 'vaulting ambi-
ton of the Wares to seize the govern
metn was revealed when Senator Ware,
which is Ed, announced that then Reg
ister of Wills and since Congressman
Ware, who is Bill, would take the Re

FRANK B. RUTHERFORD

You will have to start at o'clock
every day and work until you're
through"
This was the instruction given boy
who applied for position at the office of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, 1927
Chestnut street The youngster never
ninched He said he was ready to start
right away.
After he had hung up his hat and coat
he saw there were lots of things to be
Strengthened out around the office, and he
waded into this work without orders.
81 guess you'll do" said the boss. That
was 26 years ago. The boy has been
there ever since. He paid attention to
details, and the boss, who was the late
Martin V. B. Davis, paid attention to
him. That's why Frank B. Rutherford
is now secretary of the society and its
work has increased to such an extent
that Is agents and two clerks are re-
quired to keep pace with 1t. Mr. Ruther-
ford was elected secretary of the society
In 1905 after the death of Mr.. Davis.
ON JOB EARLY AND LATE.
you will have to work until you're
through" This sentence has been Inn
bedded in the secretary's mind ever since
he applied for the job as Office boy, way
bkk in 1889. Long ago he gave up the
luSd VI WbIhiHb al CGIldi1 number OL
hours a day. He starts early and works
late, just as conditions warrant The Of
flee is open day and night. Sunday in
cluded. and every agent ID always in
touch with the secretary.
1t was largely through the efforts of
Mr.. Rutherford that union hours were
established for horses He contended that
no horse should be worked longer than
10 hours in "a and not more than 80 hours
in any week There now is an animal
labor law to that effect Proof that he is
a friend of animals at heart is shown by
his constant activity to better their con-
dition. He was instrumental in obtain
ing the passage of an act which pro-
hibits the sale or offering for sale of
horses which cannot be worked because
of physical disability
ECONOMIC SIDE OF KINDNESS.
In the course of anti-cruelty cam
paigns throughout the State he has
shown the economic side of kindness to
animals. A horse treated we'll will work
harder. and he contends that a man
should be as diplomatic in the treatment
of his horse as in other things pertain
ing to his business.
The dog which is down and out and
kicked about from pillar to post has a
true friend in Mr. Rutherford. To arouse
sympathy in the "stray's" behalf the
secretary started a "Plain Dog Show"
1t was held In Horticultural Hall, and
prizes were given for the very worst dogs
of all species. Fancy society dogs, which
dwelt amid marble halls and velvet car
pets, We're not admitted. Other cities sub
sequently held similar shows.
Some time ago the SECRETARY wrote a
catechism concerning the disposition of
cruelty cases and a copy was given to
every policeman in the city. In addition
TO explaining first-aid treatment for
suffering horses. the book tells what to do
in cases of cruelty
Mr.. Rutherford also addresses the po-
lieemen at their training school from
time to time regarding cruelty preven-
tion.

COW CREEK CANYON.

The Roseburg Evening News in
recent editorial advocates official ac-
tion changing the name of Cow Greek
canyon to some more appropriate
name. The News states that Cow
creek does not flow through the can
yon that the road passes through and
which is known as Cow Creek canyon,
but makes wide detour on the other
side of the mountain. Cow Creek
canyon is transversed by Canyon
creek.
The canyon is one of the grand
scenic attractions both on the Pacific
highway and the Southern Pacific. A
name a little less suggestive of
barnyard would seem more suitable
for such an attraction. The News
suggests "Applegate canyon" in honor
of Jesse Applegate, the Oregon
pioneer whose name is indelibly
linked with the early history of Doug
las county and the entire state.

A WIDOWS MONEY.
Saturday Evening Post. J

Saturday Evening Post.)
With slight intelligence and small
industry, three or four swindlers in
Chicago-ably assisted by the police
cleaned up fifty thousand dollars a
year Fleeing widows by the thread
bare clairvoyant and spiritualistic
game. Newspaper advertisement
which should have made the newspa-
per proprietors liable to indictment
brought in the victims. In the ante
room the widow found a couple of
other women who were also waiting
to see the professor. :"
Sympathetic conversation ensued,
during which the victim told all about
herself, not dreaming that these wait
ing widows were merely stool pigeons
of the professor and would at once
report the conversation to him.
Admitted to the professors pres
ence, the victim was amazed to hear
the main facts of her case recited be-
fore she had opened her mouth. Thus
convinced of the professors occult
powers, she docilely followed his rev.
elations as to how she should invest
her money-namely in some utterly
worthless mining stock, of which the
professor kept bale on hand. If the
victim did not disclose herself salts
factorily to the waiting stool pigeons,
her address was learned and a spy
sent out to question servants or
neighbors; or she was induced to
write out some questions from which
the professor could get sufficient
knowledge of her situation to mystify
her.
Widows with life insurance money
are the special prey, also, of blue-sky
swindlers. A great many women re-
ceive money at the demise of their
husbands without much more capac-
ity to take care of it than might be
expected Of ten-year-old child.
Women VINO are to receive money
should be taught what to do with it;
otherwise it is merely a matter OF
luck whether a mans life insurance
or fortunes a provision for his
dependents or only a prize for the
first swindler who comes along.
Men who leave a considerable es-
tate often put it in the hands of a
responsible trust company for their
dependents benefit-a good example
for anybody whose wife is innocent
of business experience and business
sense,

ADVERTISING.

And now comes Unc. Walt Mason
with this jingle-and like all that
comes from this wise old philosopher.
it points an obvious moral:
when l was selling hooks and
eyes, never failed to advertise. My
stock was small, my joint obscure,
but my announcements proved lure,
and people came from distant shores,
and passed by all the other stores,
they gladly came to patronize the
man who doomed his hooks and eyes.
My ads were small, but full of zip;
they gripped you, and they held their
grip; there was no weary waste of
words, no language thrown at pass
ing birds. / wrote them daily at my
store; they were my most important
chore. Each day gave folks some
thing new, to keep my little joint in
view, and aunts and sisters, mas and
dads, were always looking for my ads.
All kinds of people, counts and cooks,
came there to buy my eyes and hooks,
to see the man whose daily spiel lent
SAVIOR to the evening meal. And now
You see my fine retreat, my modern
home in Easy street." Thus spake
to me, with balmy smile, a man who
quickly made his pile; a few short
years have seen him rise from that
small point of hooks and eyes, to clip
ping coupons at his ease, heap of
bonds upon his knees"

AUTOMOBILE COMPETITION.

Railroads that do heavy tourist
business have been complaining about
their losses through automobile COM
petition. With a good sized family,
the saving by using motor can be
very considerable. 1t is one OF the
economies which people advance to
offset the cost of the car. But as
matter of fact there may not be much
saving here. The average motor par
ty probably spends as much in hotel
bills and garage fees as it saves. But
they think they are saving the price
of the railroad passage, which
amounts to the same thing. The eff
feet is seen in the passenger earnings
of any line doing a tourist business.
In the commuter towns around the
large cities the motor partly takes
the place OF the train. In the palmer
communities the working people will
scramble for the 1912 train for the
city office as they did Of yore. But
in wealthier neighborhoods the So
ciable sight of the whole masculine
element rushing en- masse for the
S:34 is no more. The swift motor
gives the business man five minutes
longer over his egg and coffee.
The railroads for the time being
will be hard put to it to make econo-
mics to counterbalance this loss. Per-
haps they could cut off some nearly
empty sleeping and parlor cars.
Many of these are hauled over long
distances with three or four people
lonely in solitary grandeur. These
cars are heavy and it costs good mon
ey to haul them.
The railroads will always continue
to be the great democratic highway
for the mass of the people. Long
tours in a motor can have zest for
time, but in time it ceases to be
novelty. The train covers the dis
lance in the least Tine and the great
est certainty. 1t costs more and more
money to, build railroad, so that an
existing right of way gets more and
more valuable. The country is grow
ing and there will be many freight
additional for every motor
party that is lost.

(By John Anderson.)

Rallies have been the order OF the
week at the high school. Wednesday
evening a bunch consisting mostly
of girls gathered on the east bleach
ers on the athletic grounds and, led
by Yell Leader Leith Abbott, pierced
the air with yells that would have
made Vasear look sick. However
this was not considered satisfactory,
as there was not enough bass to bal
ance the yells, so short rally was
held Thursday noon in the assembly
and arrangements were made for a
big rally to be held that evening af-
ter supper. The confectionery store
of Charlie Loomis was chosen as the
meeting place and Z o'clock the
hour. At 7 o'clock the atmosphere
around Charles" began to respond
with yells, boots and the sound of
cowbells. When a goodly bunch had
collected, Commander Abbott gave
the word to fall in and, headed by
sign which announced the Fridays
game, started on its march to the
Plaza. The Lyric Theatre was the
first stop, and for a while the mob
of yelling students drew much more
of a crowd than the theatre. After
giving a few yells they marched on
to the Vinfng Theatre, where a few
more yells were dispensed and an
nouncements in regard to the game
given. So with many stops and yells
the distance to the Plaza and back
was finally covered. When they

Nineteen Jackson

University of Oregon, Eugene
Jackson county with nineteen stu
dents compares favorably with the
other counties of the state in the
number of Representatives at the
State University this year. The nine
teen are: Mildred Brown, Bertha
Clark, George Gates, Jay Gore, Har-
old Grey, Ruth Lawrence, Lucille
Messner, Ruth Nye, Vera Olmstead,
Dolph Phipps, Jessie Purdy, William
Rebec and Mary Stevenson of Med
ford, Bertha Kincaid and Carroll
Wagner of Ashland, Agnes Dunlap of
Central Point, Charles w. Prim of
Jacksonville, Mary Truax of Gold Hill
and Ruth Wilson of Talent.
Jackson county students are talk
ing an active part in student activi-
ties. Jay Gore is a member of the
varsity band, Lucille Messner is on
the staff of the Emerald, the college
paper, and Bertha Kincaid is promi-
nent in women's enterprises.
This years registration shows an
increase of 10 per cent over the en-
rollment of the corresponding time
last year. The growth is attributed
to the greater number of high school
graduates throughout the state and
to the better facilities offered by the
university, which have diverted the
flow of students to other colleges.
