any rate there seems to be doubt in
Mr.. Ussher's mind as to whether he
can hold the job or not-hence he
hastens to reassure the public before
it has even questioned him on the
subject
The Medford firm that is putting
time and effort, and very probably
money into Mr.. Ussher's candidacy,
Is the firm that has had corner Oh
the undertaking business of Jackson
county-so far as the county poor are
concerned-during the last three ad-
ministrations. Unquestionably this
firm would be pleased to add the coy
oner's office to its establishment
either through electing some friend
who will hold the title and let it run
the business, or some friend who will
resign and let the county court ap-
point one of it's members 1t is not
impossible that Mr.. USHER suspected
the public of having something OF
this sort in mind when he reassured
1t on point that had not yet been
raisel.
The idea of an "undertakers'
trust was possibly generated in MIR,
Usshers mind by his understanding
with the Medford firm of undertakers
who are back of his candidacy. Prob

Culprit Uses
Mean Methods

Some culprit printed signs with a
lead pencil and posted them on tele-
phone posts in the east part of town,
which read, Vote for Saloons" and
wrote the name of Mayor Johnson
beneath it. OF course, everybody
knows Mayor Johnson knew nothing
about it, He stands solidly for state
wide prohibition and is candidate
for the Legislature on the. prohibition
ticket. The man who did that should
be sent to Jail. 1t is an attempt at
character assassination. Mr.. John
son is justly incensed and offers a
reward of $25 for the apprehension
of the man who perpetrated the
forgery.

Whose Undertaking frost?

The cry of "undertakers trust"
raised in the local papers by Mr..
usher, the republican candidate for
coroner, is somewhat amusing in
view of the fact that he is the candi-
date of Medford firm of undertake
ers which financed his campaign in
the primary and is now spending a
solid month in the field trying to
elect him-hoping thereby to control
the undertaking business of the coun-
ty so far as the coroner's office is
concerned.
That the firms of Dodge & Sons of
Ashland. the Medford Furniture and
Hardware Company at Medford and
Coroner Kellogg of Gold Hill consti-
tute an "undertakers' trust" is a
falsehood which was known to be
such by Mr.. USHER when he caused
1t to be printed and circulated. The
nearest thing to an undertakers' trust
that is back of Mr.. USHER.
1t would be interesting to the vot-
ers of Jackson county to hear Mr.
USHER explain just what the three
cornered relationship is that exists
between him, and the Medford under
taking firm that is backing him so
enthusiastically, and the office of
coroner to which he seeks to be elect
ed. The public would like to know
just what it is that a Medford under
taking firm hopes to gain by picking
out the manager of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company at
Ashland and booming him for the
office of coroner so strongly.
We haven't seen anything in the
newspapers to the effect that Mr..
Ussher's company won't permit him
to hold the job of coroner-yet Mr..
USHER hastens to assure the public,
in his article in the local papers, that
his company doesn't object to its
managers engaging in "other cali
tings." Since Mr.. usher has raised
this point we presume to suggest that
perhaps he had in mind his COM
panys ruling that its employees shall
not mix in politics" Evidently he
had something on his mind that he
wished to reassure the public about
in advance.
1t does look reasonable that the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company might apply the rule
against mixing in politics" in Mr.
Ussher's case. In case they did, il
hardly looks possible that Mr.. Usshel
would give up his salary, as manager
for the few hundred dollars year
that the coroner makes. The com
pany might allow its managers to
engage in other callings that did not
interfere with the run of their bus
mess" but II is not impossible that
they might balk at having a man
ager off duty, for several days at a
; stretch every little. while, to look
after the duties OF coroner in the
outlying districts.
Perhaps, however. Mr.. USHER is
to be coroner merely in name and
the Medford firm Of undertakers are
to be the coroner in fact. Perhaps
he thinks the public has suspicioned

large bottle for about 50 cents. Every

cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn

after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
