THE MEAT IN THE COCOANUT.

The trouble with the Mail Tribune
is that its exceedingly astute political
editor, Putnam, writes one thing
while he is thinking altogether about
another He should be more ingenu-
GUS with his readers. For example,
he is throwing fit after fit because
County Clerk Gardner is faithfully
carrying out the provisions of the
registration law governing naturalized
citizens and byi so doing a few old
residents are deprived of the right to
vote until they show citizenship. 1t
is unfortunate that the law is such
as to deprive them of that right, but
County Clerk Gardner did not make
the law. He is simply administering
it as he finds it.
But, the disfranchisement of old
citizens is not the real cause for Put
nams diatribes. The foundation of
his animus lies in the fact that Coun-
ty Clerk Gardner refused to turn all
of the county printing over to the
Mail Tribune and its sidelight, the
Medford Printing Company, without
bids, at whatever price the conscience
of the said Mail Tribune chose to die
tate. Gardner insisted that he owed
more to the taxpayers than to the
Mail Tribune, the politically her
maphrodite boss of Jackson county
affairs, and asked all the printers of
the county to bid on the work and
| then let it to the lowest bidder. That
happened some time ago-long before
the registration matter was thought
of-and our dear George Immediately
began to froth at the mouth and tell
what he proposed to do to Gardner.
The registration matter just creates
the opportunity for the Mail Tribune
to stick the knife into Gardner. That
is all.
For a number of years Putnam has
been getting away with tricks like
that because people feared his vitri-
olic pen and had not the temerity to
call him down. He has overworked
that gaff, however. Everybody is on.
They know his support is gained only
by subservience and his opposition
may be measured correctly by the un-
willingness of the victim to stand
hitched" and deliver.

chaff From Hay Wagons, Dirt Dropping
From Contractors Loads, Etc, a Dis
tinet Menace to Any Community.
Prompt Reports to Authorities Neces-
sary.
'In the many small streets in the
poorer parts Of towns and cities"
writes prominent doctor, "where
nuisances occur. a considerable time
often elapses before they are reported
to the proper authorities. The nui-
sances continue unabated during this
time and may result in infection of
some kind. That is not willful negli-
gence. 1t is simply because it seems
to be nobodys business to report those
nuisances. which continue until the
tenant complains to the real estate
agent or it reaches a local department
in some other roundabout way.
"Why could not department Of pub
lie safety use inspectors and police Of
flcers and have them report every oc-
casion if they found that garbage was
scattered over the street or was not
properly covered, that main was bro
ken, drainpipe stopped or that any
such nuisance had occurred?
when excavations are made through
out city a great deal Of the dirt
blows about and fills the air with dust.
The children Of the neighborhood, too,
play in the dirt and scatter 1t about
Why should not the excavated mate
rial be covered with a tarpaulin so
that the dust would be minimized?
Another preventable cause of the dust
and dirt comes from the hay wagons
which trail their loads through the
streets, dropping dust and cnaff along
the way. Finally, there are the drop
bottom carts of the contractors, which
carry dirt and refuse from one place
to another. Often one sees a trail Of
earth sitting from the improperly
closed trap bottom of these wagons to
be scattered and blown about the
streets.
"All these and many more things go
to make up the dust which especially
in the summer makes haze which
the eye can discern. Smoke often
causes part Of this haze, particularly
in damp weather, when it descends in
clouds, but dust is largely responsible
for It.
"The effect of these dust particles
laden with all sorts Of disease bear
ers depends simply on the resistance
of the individual who breathes them
in with the polluted air. They are re-
sponsible for many cases Of conjunc-
tvitis and, think, are an important
cause of catarrhal and other head,
throat and pulmonary troubles"

AN AID MANS STORY.

During a convention OF ad writer's
someone told the following:
"a man entered a shop one cold
day and bought a wooden muffler.
When he opened the muffler he
found inside the photograph of a
beautiful girl with a note couched
in these terms:
"Tf you are single, please write
to me-
"a name and address followed,
and the man smiled. He was single.
He placed the photo on his library
table. In a week he had fallen in
love with the picture of the beautiful
girl. So he wrote her.
"a week passed, during which the
bachelor was in a fever of impatience.
Finally he received this terrific blow
in the shape of letter:
"Dear Sir: The Mary Jones to
whom you wrote was my grand
mother. She died nine years ago,
aged eight-seven. Yours truly
Upon investigating this strange
case, the broken-hearted bachelor
discovered that he had purchased the
muffler from a dealer who did not
advertise. Exchange.

WHO OWNS THE MEDFORD SUN?

In sworn statement of ownership
required by the government S. S.
Smith, manager of the Daily Sun at
Medford states the owners of that
paper to be GEORGE PUTNAM of
Medford, Oregon the Medford Print
ing Company, S. S. Smith and Robert
w. Ruhl.
What do you think of that? The
intractable George Putnam, one of
the principal owners of the republi-
can party's official organ! Owe!
Do you think the republican" ma
chine, of which s. S. Smith is the
chief cog and George Putnam is the
wet nurse, is most interested in the
"p-r-i-n-c-i-p-l-e-s" of the republican
party, or in political domination to
get the spoils? W-h-o-e! Brother
Keene, Brother Perozzi, Brother Car
ter, Brother Staples, etcetera, what
do you think of that? Do you think
the republican party, with all cher
glorious history and high principles, :"
will fare well in such hands?
And what do you ordinary" re-
publicans think of that. You who in
voting the ticket think you are stand
ing for the great principles of that
party? Isn't it about time to take
a new hitch in your galluses and see
that the machinery of the party is
taken away from that kind of boss
rule?
NO WONDER THAT COMBINA-
TION FIGHTS GARDNER BECAUSE
HE INSISTS ON GIVING THE
COUNTY JOB WORK TO THE LOW
EST BIDDER.

LIGHTS ON THE FRONT PORCH

portland Evening telegram
Editors Note.-Since this editor
ial appeared in the Telegram, the
Ashland city council has passed a
resolution offering free current for
porch lights.)
Why keep your front porch in
darkness except when you are ex-
pecting a caller about 8 o'clock in
the evening? In most instances the
answer will be that household ex-
penses are large enough as they are,
therefore why increase your bills for
lighting? To this inquiry the reply
is, to make your home more cheerful
on the outside.
Ashland, Ore, is getting ready to
adopt porch lights, and when you
learn how little a porch light costs,
you may take a notion that you want
it yourself. The city council offers
a special rate of cents a month for
a 25-watt lamp, which is ample, with
higher rate for a more powerful
lamp, the maximum being 12 cents
month for a 6O-watt lamp. Only
one condition is imposed, namely,
that house numbers be placed in such
position that they may be seen from
the sidewalk, under the light, after
nightfall.
AS an object lesson, turn on your
porch light about Z o'clock this even
ing and ask your next door neighbor
to follow suit, with the added request
that he pass it along to his next
neighbor. Let the corner man pass
it across the street. Then contrast
the two rows of illuminated houses
on your block with the dark frontage
of the houses on the next block. You
will be pleased OF course, at this
season when the days are lengthen-
ing, porch lights will not make so
strong an appeal as they will make
next October; yet where they have
once been adopted they are not dis
carded.
1t is surprising that the local light
ing companies have not perceived the
distinct advantage of offering low
rate for porch lights. Their income

FIXED TO GET THEM COMING
AND GOING.

A fine combination that between
the two Medford newspapers. The
Sun is a republican newspaper and
its editor is one of the big cogs in
the republican machine. The Mail
Tribune is independent democratic,
or hermaphrodite, or something like
that. S. S. Smith is manager of both
papers, is republican state committee
man and main cog in the Jackson
county republican machine.
Neither cares a whit for pure party
principle. They are both deeply in
terested in the business end of the
combination-the till, so to speak.
The county treasury, by reason of the
necessity for stationery and publica-
tions, under the law, is a large con-
tributor to the business of news
paper and printing industry. The
men elected to the county offices
largely control the printing patron
age. Therefore, if newspaper Is out
strictly for the business it is much
to its interest to control the nomina-
ton and election of county officers.
There is where the combination is
brought into effective action.
The Sun picks out the republican
candidates favorable to the combina-
ton and states them for nomination
at the republican primaries, and as
sumes the attitude that it will keel
hands off and advocate no republican
against another republican before the
primaries. Then follows quickly the
Mail Tribune and denounces and op.
poses every republican candidate ex-
cept those picked by the Sun to be
nominated in the republican pri'
maries. If that fails, then the Mai
Trbunei, independent democrat, II
you please, proceeds to launch demo
cratic candidates against the republi-
can recalcitrants and the Sun helps
to raise community antipathy, or any
old thing to elect the Mail Tribune
hand-picked democratic candidates
and defeat republican candidates who
refuse to wear the patronage collar.
Remember, please, the Dunn-Tou
Velle campaign.
A great combination, that. But,
knowing how it works, what do the
voters of Jackson county think of it?
After all, the individual voter has the
last say. In the future only those
who believe that hand-picked Sun
Tribune combination of county Of
ficials will give better sericve to the
county than free, competent republi'
cans with backbone enough to refuse
to allow that combination to mulct
the county through them, will follow
the advice Of either OF those news
papers when they cast their ballot.
Who are the hand-picked candi-
dates of the combination for nomina-
tion at the coming republican pri-
mary? Well, one thing is certain,
those candidates the Mail Tribune OPP
poses and slanders are not the hand
picked ones OF the great and only
Medford coming and going newspaper
combination.

PRIVATE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
By Leonard Hinton.


To anyone interested in the prob
lens of community upbuilding, the
discovery Of private enterprises which
have been evolved from small begin
nings and in spite of adversely is al
ways a pleasure. 1t is almost invari-
ably true that success in these in
stances has been the result of ener-
getic, wide-awake business principles
applied at every stage of development.
found this the case with the Eastern
Supply Company, whose business in
Ashland was first brought to my at
tention by spirited advertising in the
Tidings. When | saw that the build
ing housing the business was being
painted a vivid red, decided that an
investigation would be worth while
asked C. D. Weed, the manager
for a short history of his activity in
Ashland.
WELL" was the response, "our
first venture here was unfortunate.
We had been in business only about
three months when we were burnt
out. As there was on insurance car
ried, everything was total loss.
However,, we managed somehow to
get into new location and resume
business. In this location, adjoining
Minis & Saunders, we remained three
years. For the last three years we
have been occupying our present
quarters"
| asked if any expansion of stock
had taken place during those years.
I'VE started in by carrying a line
of harness goods and bicycles, and do
ing repair work. Now we carry COM
plete lines of harness, bicycles and
shoes, besides doing repair work on
much larger scale"
remembered that it was an ad-
ertisement of some new shoe machin-
cry that had first caught my atten-
tion.
HAS your new shoemaker brought
you much business?" / queried.
"a great deal, and what is almost
as welcome, a number of visitors who
have been curious to see the new ma
chine at work. AS the new mailer en-
ables us to do a great deal more work
in less time, and therefore cheaper
for the customer, we were not sur
prised to receive work from outside
points. We have had shoes shipped
to us from as far south as Redding,
Cal, and from many places in this
state. Incidentally, you might men
tion that we are very glad to have
visitors call to see any innovations
which we may install from time to
time, and explain things personally"
| needed very little more informa-
ton to solve the secret of the Eastern
Supply Company's success in this city.
Every available inch in the store was
occupied with goods. Complete lines
were evidently realities here as we'll
as stock phrases for the newspaper
advertisements. Progress in meth
DDS, instanced by the installation OF
the electric shoemaker, was no
stranger here. A courteous attitude
toward the buying public had been
made a member of the firm, and no
silent member at that. Many mil
lionaire owner of department stores
has begun business on worse capital.
