The County Papers And The
Moonlight Schools

Well, the county newspaper
will be in no new business in act
ing as a feldpiece for the pro.
jectiles of the army of light.
Carrying lessons from the moon.
light school to the llliterate vii
be only another form of its regu.
lar work. We trust that it may
be a more highly effective form,
but the difference will be one OF
degree only.
Sometimes county newspaper
in North Carolina opposes some
progressive move. and when it
dose the public is dumbfounted.
1t seems to US that no higher
compliment could be paid to the
average journal than that very
fact. The news that the papers
were going to give freely their
space which means their money
to the department OF education
in its campaign against lllteracy
occasioned no surprise. The
surprise would have been pro
voked by any other course, be-
cause the educators were certain
from the beginning that they
could count upon the country
editors.
1t may be urged that lnspread.
ing these lessons to help lift the
ban Of ignorance from the state
the papers are helping them
selves. And so they are; but 50
are the teachers in the schools;
so is the Junior Order; so is the
department Of education. We
would be foolish to 90 to all this
trouble if there was no prospect
of making the state better
place to live in. and in doing
that we all help ourselves. But
we doubt that everybody is
going to pay as heavy a tax to
Danish llliteracy as the country
weeklies.
AT that we are not pinning
any hero medals on them, for
they are only doing their duty,
If the papers pose as leaders it is
their duty to lead, and how can
they lead if they are not at least
a couple Of jumps ahead of the
rest Of the procession? 1t is not
altogether an enviable position.
One collects there all the
cookie burrs and brambIes anC
stone bruises that may be in the
way; but in leading successful
movement there is a satisfaction
that compensates for it all.
Such a movement we believe
is that for moonlight schools.
The papers would not do wisely
to abandon their position in the
forefront now, no matter what
the cost. That they are exhibit.
ing no intention Of doing so i
matter for congratulation t
them and pride for their friends

LADY ABERDEEN
D|SCOURSES UPON
THE GOLDEN RULE

San Francisco, Nov. do unto
others"
Lady Aberdeen, leader of interna-
tional counsel OF women which open
ed its philanthropic session here to-
day, hesitated in the midst Of the
golden rule and then added:
In her golden rule, every man, wo-
man and child would have the right
to be fed, to have good treatment in
illness and to have healthy surround
ings.
Her dream Of things as they ought
to be was full Of Fairgrounds, kindly
people. hospitals and nurses for those
too poor to pay for their ministrations
and a whole lot more Of charitable
things.
The world, she held, is thoughtless
more or less, but not uncharitable.
Ten cents from every one who could
afford II would do much to weave
her dream into a reality.
Though both Lady and Lord Aber-
deem steered clear OF war discussion,
Lady Aberdeen took occasion to deny
that there is any epidemic OF war
babies" In England, while Lord
Aberdeen, former viceroy OF Ireland,
said Of Ireland's men and women:
"The Irish soldiers have sustained
their ancient reputation as intrepid
men-of-arms and the Irish women
have performed miracles Of sacrifice
and self-denial.

ANOTHER Exceptional"
SEASON.

Some Of the weather-wise have
said that every season Is an excep-
tional season. About everyone is
agreed, however. that the summer Of
1915 in the Rogue River valley has
been an exceptional season. There
has been almost an entire absence Of
rainfall since early spring. and No
yember 1st finds ]. Pluvius forgetting
that southern Oregon Is on the map.
But as he has never yet failed to
make good on the job, he will prob
ably pull the string one OF these days
and make up for past shortcomings.
For the farmer who has water for
irrigation the summer has been an
ideal one. For the other farmer, the
fact that water is one of the necessi-
ties Of the agriculturist has been
made patent. But from now on give
us the rain. The harvest OF the yell
low nuggets depends upon 1t just as
much as the harvest of the yellow
grain depended upon irrigation.

supplies OF copper entirely exhausted
and the rapidly growing industrial
demand will have to be supplied
from the current output of the mining
companies. Such condition as this
could hardly fail to cause an abnor-

In view OF this outlook II does not
seem bad business policy for produc-
ing companies to so ON operating
their properties to full capacity. even
though It should become necessary
for them to accumulate q moderate
surplus of copper. They should, II
possible. be prepared to supply the
worlds demand at price not higher
than 30 cents a pound"

AGREES TO
ABRoGATE TRADE TREATY

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington. Nov. 1.--Great Britain
has consented to the abrogation Of
the trade treaty with the United
States which would have prevented
operation OF the LaFollette seamen's
act as far as the Britishers were con-
cerned.
A new treaty will be negotiated
unless the seamen's law is repealed
In the coming session Of congress.
The state department recently ad-
vised countries affected by the mea-
sure that It would go into effect No
vember 5.
Great Britain Is the only nation
which has assented to abrogation OF
the treaty and to negotiations for a
new one. Provisions OF the law af-
fecting foreign shipping are not ef-
fective until later. hence the depart
ment is moving slowly In the matter
Of abrogating treaties.

THE PRESIDENT IS
To WE'D NEAR THE
CLOSE OF DECEMBER

Washington, Nov. President
Wilson will be married near the
close Of December" 1t was officially
announced at the White House to-
day.
From the White House this after
noon the following announcement
was issued:
I'm order to quiet speculation. Pre-
sident Wilson and Mrs. Gait author
lied the announcement that their
marriage win occur near the close Of
December. Their plans are for very
simple ceremony. 1t will be quietly
performed at Mrs. Galt's residence.
No invitations will be issued and 1t
Is expected the only guests will be
members OF the families"
Limitation OF the number OF guests
to so was due to the fact that the
Calf home will not accommodate
more than that number.
The honeymoon may be spent at
Pass Christian, Miss, where Wilson
passed a vacation during the holiday
season Of 1918 and where he met
John Lind at time when the Mexi-
can crisis was serious. The presi-
dents intimate friends are strongly
urging him to choose this spot again.
Colonel House and wife and DR..
Cary Grayson, the presidents physi-
cion-one of the links in the chain
whereby the president became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Galt--will prob
ably be exceptions to the decision to
have the wedding family affair.
The president and his fiancee took
long walk this morning and the pre-
sident. as usual, had his pockets full
of crumbs to feed the birds. The de-
cision to issue the statement was
reached during this meeting. Satur-
day some newspapers gave November

the presidents cousin, left for New
York during the day. They will be
in the metropolis when the president
arrives to speak Thursday, and, 1t is
believed, they will take a yachting
trip Saturday.

WAR AND COPPER.

Those who have made a study of
the worlds supply OF minerals are
confident that copper will continue to
command a high price for a long
time to come. 1t is therefore freely
predicted that southern Oregon and
northern California will see a won
derful development Of the copper dis
tricts, and it is notable that some of
the leaders in the industry upon this
continent have been making expert
investigation of the supply in the dis
trict.
With the stimulus given to the cop
per mining industry by the strength
ening Of the price it would be a ma
tural assumption that the output of
the principal copper-producing dis
tricts would be much increased, but
report shows that the Butte mines
have produced during the first seven
month period Of 1915 more than 30,-
100000 pounds less copper than dur
Ing the corresponding period of 1914.
To make up for this shortage In some
Of the leading camps, operators are
now seeking other fields for develop
ment, and southern Oregon is most
certain to be one Of them.
After going into the conditions sur
rounding the copper market, a writer
In the Boston Commercial sums up
the effect Of the war upon the demand
for and price Of copper as follows:
1T is impossible to estimate Just
what the condition Of the copper mar
ket will be when peace treaties are
finally signed in Europe; but II they
were concluded tomorrow and follow
ed by an attempt to purchase 2O0,-
100000 pounds of copper for imme-
diate delivery that amount could not
possibly be supplied by the mining
companies. The cancellation OF war
orders undoubtedly would release
considerable copper which has been
purchased for future delivery; but the
owners uf this are American brass
and copper manufacturers who for
the most part would be obliged to
retain It to keep their own operations
going.
when all these factors are taken
into consideration II becomes clearly
apparent that a stronger demand for
copper will develop after the war
than existed preceding It. II the war

Seattle. Nov, lit means that
we have been beating teams that are
as good as Harvard and Yale and
getting no credit for H." was the
comment today OF Coach Gilmour
Doblo OF the University OF Washing
ton football team. who has won seven
consecutive conference champion
ships, with regard TO the astonishing
20 to victory OF the Oregon Agglos
over the famous Michigan Aggies
Saturday.
THAT victory should establish be-
yond n doubt the fact that the brand
OF football In the northwest Is Just
as good as that OF the middle west
or the east
The Oregon Aggies already have
been defeated 30 to 0 by Washington
State, and yet were able TO complete
|ly outclass n team that Is without
doubt equal to any in the middle
west. Do you know how II was pos
sibleg Because they have been do
feated so badly before they went east.
Syracuse comes out here early In
December, and II would not surprise
me to see them defeated also"
II is doubtful II Washington State
will be substituted on the schedule OF
the U. OF w. for the Colorado univer-
sity Thanksgiving day game. as n
contract has been signed with Color
ado. Sentiment In Seattle favors
strongly the cancellation OF the Col
Dorado contest In view OF the two de-
cisive defeats suffered by the Rocky
Mountain team. The University OF
Washington team. while little slow, !,
has as much power as any team Dobie
has developed here, and critics who
have watched both teams In action
recently predict an easy victory for
the U. OF w. over California. The
Californians simply do not know
enough about football and D0bie's
men are veterans.
Announcement that the Michigan
Aggies will meet o. A. c. on the coast
next October was well received here.
There is absolutely no chance OF
Washington State being substituted
for the Colorado university game
here Thanksgiving day." said Dobio
today. I'VE have been beating Wash.
ington State for seven years, Let
them go and get a reputation. Col
orado may have slipped up once or
twice. but they will bring high
class team here, and We will have all
the trouble in the world beating
them. Colorado has big. fast
team"
This statement knocks in the head
the proposition to abrogate the con-
tract for a Turkey day game here be-
tween Washington and Colorado and
substitute Washington State.
