Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root OF
all genuine growth in the individual.
and. exhibited in the lives Of many. 1t
constitutes the true source of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeeblng in its effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity of doing for
themselves. and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgov-
ernment the inevitable tendency Is to
render them comparatively helpless

THE COMMISSIONS ORDER.


Through an order of the public ser
vice commission Of Oregon, issued
under date of May s. the use of water
for the purpose of lawn sprinkling
and irrigation In Grants Pass will be
less burdensome the present season
than it has been under its previous
order.
In 1914 the commission made an
order, after the attempt of the city
of Grants Pass to arbitrarily lower
by ordinance the rates in force at
that time by the Rogue River Water
company. establishing a rate much in
excess of that previously charged by
the water company. The rate fixed
at that time established the charges
which the water company was to
make as follows:

This was such an advance over the
rates that had been in force that
lawn sprinkling was largely discon-
tinued, and during the past summer
few residences in the city maintain
ed well-kept lawns or flower gardens.
Recently these points we're called to
the attention of the state commission,
the water company itself being pow
erless to reduce rates, though the
raise ordered by the commission had
not increased the company's revenues
as 1t had acted to reduce the use of
water, the cost being prohibitive. A
new rate, effective June 1, and in
force during the season for lawn
sprinkling and irrigation, has there
fore been ordered by the commission,
the new rate effecting only the user
Of large quantities of water This
new rates is as follows:
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1916-05-08


No change is thus registered for
the use of water for the household,
or until 500 cubic feet is used month
ly, the cost for 500 cubic feet being
the same as heretofore. The reduc-
tion comes for all used over that
amount. The minimum rate Is $1.20
per month as before. With the next
200 cubic feet added the cost will be
$1.54 per month as previously, but
after that point the price is reduced
from IT cents to 10 cents per 100
cubic feet. AS lawn sprinkling
would commence at about that point,
it means that the water user will get
his water for use upon the lawn at
ten seventeentbs of its former cost.
Under the order OF the commission
the greatest possible saving to the
individual water user is s1.05 per
month upon his service, or seven
cents per 100 cubic feet for 1,50O
cubic feet.

EDWARDS FOR GOVERNOR

Sam Stewart would like to serve
the interests OF the Amalgamated

taxing the property of Silver Bow
corporations, with big offices in New

sam stands on that. He is so soaked

necessary to light match to read

\ CHANGE OF POLICY.

This week the Hill County Demo-
crat that has for years been one of
the staunchest democratic papers of
Northeast Montana comes squarely
and flatfooted for Hughes and Fair
banks and the entire republican
party. In we'll written editorial
Editor Bramble clearly states his po-
sition and lie is recognized as one
| of the most able newspaper men in
the state. Following is announce
ment:
For more than one year last past,
a careful reader of this paper will
observe that this newspaper has diff
Of President Wilson, We did not
like his tactics nor his methods. Dur
ing the campaign we will give our
reasons.
From now on this paper will be re-
publican in politics. 1t will not sling
any mud, but in straightforward
logical manner it will convince it's
readers it is right in it's convictions.
1t is to the interest of all but a few
! office holders, who after the fourth
of March, if they continue in their
inefticiency, will receive the grand
| bounce, to elect both a republican
governor as we'll as republican con-
gressional delegation and republi-
can state legislature.
The European war cannot possibly
last more than two years more, as
the financial drain alone will not
permit it to last longer than that.
You will remember the awful period
of financial depression this country
experienced just before the war, and
this is sure to follow Wilson and a
congress from the south have charge
Of affairs at the close of the war.
We want man at the head Of this
nation, we want men men in con-
gross that are equal to the emergency
which is sure to follow at the end Of
this great world conflict.
Our government is supposed to
consist of three coordinate branches
the executive, legislative and judic-
ial. During the past wear it has
seemed to consist Of one, the eXecu-
tive, filled by a man, stepped in Latin
roots, sophistrv, dreams, a little
shallow book learning, high sound
ing phrases, schoolgirl pedantry,
foot and basketball vernacular and
entirely devoid Of common sense and
force. The present executive may
be all right teaching some class in
female seminary. He may have COM
mitted to memory some of the obso
lete passages Of Locke Or Adam
Smith. He may have dreamed some
of the dreams of Henry George, but
he is wholly untitled to be at the
helm of big nation like the United
States. He is theorist, pure and
simple He knows naught of the

ening Of taxes, abolition of beaura-
Giles, needless offices, a great saving
to the state. He has no interest in
insurance companies Or in banks and
trust companies. He would be gov
ernor and nothing but governor, but
he will give us truly efficient and
economical administration.

laws Of business. lie is top-heavy
He is socialistic in his inclinations
He subscribes to the doctrine that if
a poor farmer who has struggled for
years here in North Montana, denied
himself and family even the common
| necessities of life, is SO fortunate
| this year as to have an income of
seven thousand dollars, that he must
give up a portion Of this under the
guise Of an income tax to fill pork
barrel given to the jewellers along
the Mississippi, SO some southern
gentleman can be sent to congress to
send back garden seeds that never
grow.
He has self-constituted himself the
three branches of our government.
He, whips the wooden men, who style
, themselves congressman, into line
and makes them vote as he COM
mands. He is the greatest egotist
this country ever knew. He cannot
see the two sides of any question. His
mind is entirely devoid of analysis.
He is dangerous to our system of
government, a dangerous man to be
in power.
Not only does he dictate to the leg
islative branch Of the government,
but he appoints men like himself to
the supreme bench. He would take
that feeling of security of life and
property we have always entertained
and reposed in that great tribunal
from us.
His secretary Of state, selected by
himself, is the laughing stock of the
session no individuality, no indie
pendence of thought Or action, a
mere fgurehead
The American people want no
such man for president. Readers of
United States history blush and hang
their heads in shame when they read
of Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln
that office with the manner in which
Wilson has conducted his office. Blu
chanan is the only president to be
compared with Wilson.
His foreign policy has been as va
cillating as it has been puerile. Dur
ing a period Of two years, form De-
cember, 1914, to February Of this
year, in about Is letters, messages
and speeches, he assumed 46 differ
ent attitudes and each Of them con-
tradicted from one to six of the
others.
The Lusitania case is the greatest
annals of American hissory. 1t will
go down to our grandchildren and
they will yearn to compare Wilson
as we do in this day with James Blu
chanan. 1t was a colossal instance
of the murder Of men, women and
innocent children, onne of the great
est crimes Of history, What has the
president done? Did he seize the
German ships in our harbors and
then ask Germany to settle and set
tie right? No, he sent note.
Sending notes is like lawyer col
Letting bill by writing letter.
Nothing collects like an attachment
of the debtors property. That's
what makes him settle, and if we
had seized those ships Germany
would have been after us for set
Element, and it would have stopped
the submarine warfare.

/ famous from the standpoint Of hui
manity. We want America to be
such a country that wherever an Am
erican citizen is found on the face
of the globe his person and his rights
are sacred. 1t has been nsulted by
Mexico. Huerta refused to salute the
stars and stripes because he we'll
knew that back of the American ad-
miral, who gave the order, was a
spineless president who would do
nothing: Our soldiers were sent
down there to Vera Cruz to make
the Mexicans salute the flag, but
who ever heard Of any Mexican doing
SO? The stars and stripes have been
trampled upon, American women
have been ravished, American men
murdered, as we'll as American
women and children, and who has
been made to pay? No one, but on
the contrary We are entertaining a
delegation Of Mexicans and talking
over matters with them This talk
is about as cheap as one of Wilson's
notes.
One Of the real chestnuts of this
campaign is that Wilson has kept us
out OF war. Has the king of Holl-
and kept his country out of war?
Who has kept Sweden, Norway
Spain and Denmark out OF war? No
need OF us being into war with any
nation, but We want all nations to
respect the rights of Columbia, the
gem OF the ocean, the home Of the
brave and the true, and we want the
civilized world to admire and re-
spect the red, white and blue.
America is right now the most de-
splsed nation in the world Germany
hates her, so does England We are
looked upon as a big, fat, wealthy
coward. The foreign policy of Pres
ident Wilson is the sole cause of his.
His weakness is the foundation of it
all.
Some of the officeh olders are max
ing great deal out of the passage
of the Adamanson bill Mr.. Hughes
with his great judicial mind, can see
at glance that this kind of legis-
lation is all wrong. 1t was forced
law. It was not case of educating
the people up to the merits of an
eight-hour day for labor, but the
forcing, by law, of the railroads to
increase the wages Of the men.
Forced legislation is dangerous.
Legislation should be enacted only
after careful and painstaking inves-
tigation. Eight-hour days are all
right, but the way to obtain them is
not to violate the constitution of the
amendment and contravene common
right. Such procedure is socialistic.
1t borders on anarchy. The men
have the right to strike if necessary
to get what they want, but they have
no right to control even the wooden
men who call themselves congress in
making law.
In word this newspaper is
against Wilson and in favor of the
election of Charles e. Hughes for
president. From now until election
it will give it's reasons and will do all
in it's power to carry Hill county for
Hughes. Besides, it's editor will, in
short time take the stump and
preach the Hughes gospel to the
voters Of this county.
