FATHERS WILL BE FATHERS.

A Kansas man complains that
since his daughter has taken music
lessons, at his expense, she insists
upon playing only classical stuff.
When he comes home tired and asks
for little tune he gets nothing but
musical gymnastics.
The whole feminine part of the
community, he thinks, is in a con-
spiracy to uplift him, and he doesn't
want to be uplifted.
1t is just like father to make a
complaint like that. Father never
did take kindly to culture. He sits
disconsolate in the draughty kitchen,
while daughters Browning Circle
meets in the front room.
1t is mothers idea entirely that
he put on an uncomfortable collar in
the evening and hear a missionary
lecture on Borneo.
Fathers taste for music stops short
at Suwanee River, and he knows al
most nothing about the minor poets
and the pre-Raphaelites.
His art ideas are derived from the
illustrated Sunday supplement. He
will not sit in a Louis XIV. chair.
He cares not whit for the pottery
of the ancient Chaldeans.
Shirt sleeves and carpet slippers
are his conception of correct evening
dress for gentlemen.
There is little hope that anything
permanent can ever be done for faith
er. When the millennium comes he
will still be found reading his news
paper, smoking up the window cur
tains, impeding the advance of cul-
tnre-and paying the bills.

A Thought for Mother.

Yes, the summer is past and moth
er failed to get her vacation. And
now comes the fall sewing, the win
ter garments to be chosen, perhaps
made; the housecleaning with all of
its attendant horrors, the picking of
autumn dainties, which will give Zest
to manya winter feast, and the gen
eral management of the whole do
mestic machinery, so that no little
part will become clogged or it's
squeaking disturb the harmony of the
home. AS summer has brought
mother no vacation, eno change of
scenes, what wonder then if her face
is pale, her step little slower, her
smile no less sweet but less frequent
than of old? Every one is sorry for
mothers disappointments, but all
take it as a matter of course as she
never complains. So the domestic
mill goes grinding on until one day
there is all confusion in the house
hold; the machinery is all awry, for
the hand that guided it has lost it's
cunning and dropped nerveless by
her side. Mother has borne her bur
den too long, it becomes too heavy
and she is crushed beneath it. Isn't
this true picture we have sketched
for you? Isn't mother too often left
out? Girls, you know it is so, and
the conscious blush rises to your
cheeks and you hang your heads and
are ashamed of your own selfishness.
We write this that you may be more
thoughtful of mother. You will

1t is time the taxpayers of Jackson
county should be thoroughly awak-

in the present fight for county judge
are the same as in the primaries last
April. The honest taxpayers won a
glorious victory in the primaries over
the solid opposition of a bunch of
progressive" living at Medford un-
der whose tutelage Jackson county
wasted some hundreds of thousands
of dollars. These same ''progres-
sives" have been busy since the pri-

Dunn is elected exploitation will

the business of the people is con-
cerned.

Immediately after entering a plea
subpoenaes for the above mentioned

any of the men involved will come
to Portland, but on the contrary will
appear through affidavits sworn to

AMERICA GETTING WELL.

Man has been called the sick ami
NAL. An ordinary Bengal tiger or
self-respecting armadillo does not
overeat, or smoke or drink to excess,
or stay up all night and awaken next
morning with a bad taste in the
mouth.
Civilized man is especially likely
to be sick, for the things that inn
prove life also make us ill through
their abuse.
America has a tremendous sick
list. A report on national vitality
shows 100000 people actually sick,
at all times. Our sickness costs us
,500,000,0O0 a year-about twice
the revenue of the government. This
estimate does not include the meal
culable loss of efficiency of people
who are just tired, tagged, below par
AS sick nation we have done fair
ly well. We could double, treble,
quadruple our work if we wiped out
sickness. 1t is no idle dream. 1t
can be done. In fact, it is being
done. One of the greatest reforms
now on in this country is to "get
WELL
We have obliterated yellow fever
and scurvy and almost ended small
pox. In another generation any city
that has a typhoid epidemic will be
held up to public scorn. Today there
are 100000 people continually sick
from tuberculosis, an easily prevent
able disease; in another generation
tuberculosis should be rare. There
are 100000 cases of malaria every
year; vigorous war on mosquitoes
will make it unknown.
We are entered upon new health
era. National, state and municipal
boards of hygiene, better sanitary
laws, bureaus of medical inspection,
Institutes for medical research, i'm
proved hospitals and sanitaria and
better trained doctors and nurses are
rapidly improving general health.
The people, learning right living,
are doing still more. We no longer
believe religiously in bad-tasting
drugs, but are finding that pure air,
pure water, pure food and war on
flies, mosquitoes and rats are half
the battle, and freedom from worry
and anger the other half.
We are wisely spending much
thought on the conservation of our
natural resources; we are just as
wisely devoting thought and effort
TO conserving our vital resources.
BY lengthening and strengthening
our lives we can create a new and
higher and eminently more efficient
civilization in this sick old world.

.RERORT CAR SHORTAGE
Southern Pacific Company Reports
That Demand for Cars Has
Been Very Heavy.

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-Evidence
of the prosperity of the western
states is furnished by figures made
known by the Southern Pacific Com
pany as to the number of freight cars
loaded this season. The average
loading on the lines of this company
in California is greater by $500 cars
per month over the same period last
year, or about 200 cars per day.
Railroads have been heavily
pressed for rolling stock because of
this sudden demand for service
Only the hearty cooperation on the
part of the shippers has made it pos
sible to keep all the traffic moving
The large fruit firms have instructed
their agents not to delay or divert
shipments unnecessarily and have is
sued circulars to this effect, for the
principal difficulty has arisen from
movements in the eastern states.
The Pacific Fruit Express, accord
ing to an announcement made by
President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific Company, has ordered 1000
more refrigerator cars of the latest
design. This number, together with
the lot of 1000 only recently or
dered, will bring up this Ines total
equipment to 1900 cars, represent
ing an investment of over $20,O00,-
900, all to be available on July l
of next year, in time for the 1913
fruit movement.
The new cars are designed espec-
tally for the fruit packages peculiar
to California and the west and will
load easily and economically. They
will be fitted with Bohn collapsible
tanks and a modern system of heat
insulation.

with an emergency he rings true. He
can't be bullied, 5rowbeaten or ca
joled. Sometimes he is fooled, but
he makes it a sorry day for the man
who fooled him when he finds it
out. His moral courage is as reso-
Lutte as his physical courage.

FURNISH EMPLOYEES BONDS.
Southern Pacific Will Hereafter Pay
: Premiums on Them.

San Francisco, Oct. 23.-Begin-
ming with January / of next year,
the Hartman lines will assume all
bond premiums of employees in their
service, according to an announce
ment made at the offices of the
Southern Pacific Company here to-
day.
In the past it has been the custom
to require all men handling money
to put up security bond, and the
premium on it has been paid by the
employe himself. After the first of
the year this expense will be borne
by the railroad company.
On the Pacific system of the South
ern Pacific, alone, there are about
$4,000 employees, and the new ar
rangement, it is said, will involve a
heavy expenditure annually.
This action is in line with the well
fare campaign which the Southern
Pacific and it's allied lines are carry
ing on to better the conditions under
which its employees are working.

at all times one of the most valuable
store adjuncts and trade-getters that
the merchant can make use of. At
tractive window displays always
draw the attention of the shopper,
and if, besides being attractive, it
contains any suggestions, it is bound
to sell the goods. If the merchant
or any of his clerks who have more

possible that the Medford bunch can

side of Medford. Ashland is looking
for a square deal The way to get
that is to look out for yourself. Mr.
Stlsby and Mr.. Morse are capable
men. While they are not the nomi-
nees of the progressive party. they
are both progressives, and are as
good and capable men as are now be-
fore the people as legislative candi-

ings will advocate their election is
because they are geographically To-

Income tax.
Passage of new employers liza
