A majority of! business men and prominent citizens of Medford have signed a petition backing up tho council in their efforts to end the controversy on the best terms attainable. But the people of Medford will insist upon securing the additional water called for. The only reason that Medford citizens will consent to a settlement is the supposition that tho city will secure double the amount of water thereby, and that it is worth the additional money paid. If Medford grows, as she must and as she will, she will need all the water she has contracted for, within a few years. If the Wasson Canyon water is purchased, citizens will insist that Medford secure the full GOO inches contracted for and that use of the water, to retiu the water rights, be provided for meanwhile in the contract.

It is not the province of this newspaper to add fuel to the flames. The Mail Tribune stands for a united Medford. It is essential that citizens pull together and stand shoulder to shoulder in promoting the welfare and prosperity of the community. Personalities only stir up division and discord where harinony is needed. Factional strife of all kinds should be barred. Upon the prosperity of the community depends the prosperity of every one in it, including the churches, and neither they, nor any one else can afford to countenance strife that may prove a stumbling block in the path of progress. REMEMBER THE CENSUS. Publicity is tho only anti-toxin for political corruption. Is a Roosevcltry to bo established hi America? Berins to look that way. T EMEMBER the census. The Medford enumerators have been granted Medford doesn't object to paying for two water supplies, but she wants them both. Here's to Bill Hnnlev one of the biggest men in Oregon and hoping ho settles the water muddle. Tho census will show Jackson eounty about fourth in tho state, twice tho population of Josephine. Eagle Point is to bo moved there is no way to stop progress in Jack son county. Move a whole town, if accessary. A prizefighter killed by a blow it ought to end the brutal game that has so much fake mixed in with it that it cannot bo termed sport. John Trotter has just been mado a doctor of science. His thesis was on : "Bis - p-mothoxybenzlidenedimethrl-' pyrono and Some of Its Derivatives." Are the derivatives worse? From the published count wo learn that the United States furnished 203,000 prosperous now settlers to Canada last year. In such fashion our northern neighbor draws an en during revenue without tariff assistance. additional time by Supervisor Henderson. They have still some time to complete the census, in which they differ from the Portland and other city enumerators. Grants Pass and Ashland are making strenuous efforts to surpass Medford, claiming that their cities exceed Med ford in population. Every person in Medford on April 15 or who has ar rived since, who contemplates residence here, is entitled to enumeration. It is the duty of every lodging house keeper, every hotel proprietor, every rooming house landlord in the city to personally turn in his guests who fill these requirements. Medford must enumerate every citizen and every ar rival who comes with the intention of making his home here. Medford has 10,000 population. She must prove it to the world. The only way she can prove it is to show it on the census rolls. Medford has the population. She must prove it. It is up to every person in Medford to exercise the Medford spirit and prove it by showing it up. ADVERTISING IN YOUR HOME PAPER BUILDS UP YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR CITY No state can bo hurt by exposing grafting; to do otherwise would bo to connive ut it. Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri. Few will bo inclined to dispute this except tho grafters themselves and mexr menus. That a merchant's advertising in his home paper not only gets results for himself, but for the town as well, is clearly shown in the following letter recently received by tho Medford Ilardware company, which has been advertising a fishing contest: "Dallas, Tex., April 0. Medford Ilardwaro Co., Medford, Or. Noticing your ad in Medford Mail Tribune of Sunday last, I would ask you to kindly let me know how tho fishing is and what kind in July and August, in or near your city, as I hopo to go to Ore gon for my vacation and possibly stay quite a while. "Thanking you in advance, I am, yours truly, "T. F. LOUQIILIN. 395 North Husked avenue, Dallas, Tex." Tho decision of Senators Aldrich and Halo to retire from tho senate is having a very wholesome influence within that body. For instance, it has suggested to Senator Gallingor ,of Now Hampshire tho expediency of quitting public life.
