County of Jack os. ss: On the 1st day of August, 1910, per sonally appeared before me. George Put nam, manager of the Medford Mall Tri bune, who upon oath, acknowledges that tae above figures are true and correct (SEAL) N. YOCKEY. Notary Public for Oregon. "Flyf" ANY well meaning sentimentalists in this country of " em's are flying off at a tangent and running amuck in efforts to reform humanity but that is a habit re formers arc apt to have. Efforts of factions of the people to force the rest of tho people to conform to their standards have been the cause of untold misery. Enough misdirected energy is wasted in such frantic endeavors to operate all the ma chinery in the world. Tho average sentimentalist shoots along in a narrow rut so deep that he cannot see out of it. Molehills become mountains and he has no perspective. Such are not moved by love of humanity, but by a zealous bigotry that knows not the name of love. They would reform the world as Charlemagne christianized the Flemish, by slaying all j who stood higher than his sword. The tendency to magnify the unimportant and overlook the important is reflected in two popular movements of the day the anti-moving fight picture crusade and the absurd attempt to coerce Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth into discarding cigarettes. For manj' years the moving picture shows have pre-1 sented films of family scandals and tragedies. They have depicted stage, train and safe robberies. They have told the story of uncounted murders and crimes. The horrors i of the scaffold and guillotine and the despair of the sui-1 cide, have been vividly portrayed. They have verged on I the lascivious and skirted the unspeakable and all this-,1 without arousing public protest. They have been permit- j ted for a decade to sow the seeds of foul suggestion in the ' impressionable minds of children without arousing the, ire of virtuous humanity. j It remained for the comparatively harmless illustra-i tion of a prize fight, in which two brutes pounded each, other, or rather in which a negro smashed at will a white, to stir the latent morality of humanity into action. If' the result had been reversed, and the white been victor, probably outraged virtue would not have aroused her- self from her trance. Great religious dailies, like the San tt GOING UP!

Tho Real Heroics. "When Homer smote 'is bloomin' lyre," And started old Greece with words of fire, Ho had we'ro sorry to relate, No scores of hall games to narrate; For, gods and Cyclops, these are tamo Besides a pennant-winning game. And Shakespeare, England's crack old bard, Who worked his rauso so bloody hard On Romeo and Juliet His write-up, I am here to bet, Of Sunday's game, had he been there, Would simply lift tho reader's hair. Or Poe, who thought his climax fit Beneath the pendulum in tho pit Would ho had seen that awful cloutt, With bases full and two men out, And dropped his pile and been well peeled On that throw from center field. For these are things that stir men's souls, And makes the ghosts' and giants roles Appear as folly only fit For children when tho lamp is lit. Give mo the ninth round tied at that And lot my favorite come to bat. Judgo's Library, Sarah Bornlmrdt at 00, or so, says becoming a gi-cat-grandmothor is the crowning cvoat of her life. That's the way to talk. Evidently tho Wright brothers havo decided that it is hotter to bo the mm who mako tho machines than tho heroes who fly them. Tho monorail seems to havo added nothing to our search for a wrecklesh railroad, A man feels as ill at eano In a dry foods store as a woman does In a to bacco shop. devoted to pugilism and graphically display in full page pictures every blow of the ring, start crusades to keep the same pictures out of the nickelodiou lest they debase the public morals. It is to laugh. But not content with war upon the fight pictures, out raged virtue is chasing Teddy's daughter with a broom stick because ,she smokes cigarettes. There is no law against Mrs. Longworth 's smoking cigarettes. It is ques tionable taste on her part, but the attacks upon her are certainly in worse taste. While cigarettes do not conform to accepted standards of womanliness, they cannot be classed as criminal. They are. not as bad a habit as gos siping and back-biting. No defense of smoking, either by male or female, can be made. It is a vicious practice, hurtful principally to the individual practicing it. But it is not a crime, and women have as much right to indulge as men. But we expect women to be so much purer and better than men that it shocks us to find them descending-to the same j)lane and copying men's vices. Female smokers are no new thing in America. In the time of the revolution, the pipe was freely used by colonial dames. Today in the south, among the poorer whites and negroes, many an aged woman finds solace in her corncob. Cigarettes have long been used by denizens of the tenderloin, but their use in polite society is of compar atively recent origin one of the vices the smart set has aped from Europe, along with other symptoms of degen eracy. There are so many, many worse things in the world that it would be worth while to reform that it is aliftost pathetic to see our Don Quixotes gallantly attacking com paratively harmless windmills.

TTC7HILE the insurgent wave is sweeping the west and ' the stand-patters are being bowled over like ten pins in an alley, at least one stand-patter is as safe and sure as an Aldrich in the Rhode Fsland bailiwick. While the insurgents were insurging against a tariff revision upward and the rule of Aldrich and Cannon in their respective legislative bodies, the lion. Reed Smoot, senator from Utah, was steadfast to the leadership of Aldrich as the most ardent stand-patter could have de sired. This apostle of the Mormon church and erstwhile con testec for a seat in the United States senate is in no dan ger of the insurgent wave, for his senatorial conduct has been but tho bidding ot the master Mormon who orders tho affairs or Utah, both spiritual and temporal, with less infallibility than ever an Aldrich ruled a Rhode Is land. Joseph Smith the polygamous head of the Mor mon church, seer and revelator, and incidentally comp troller of the tithing fund, is the sponsor of the cowlick foreheaded statesman with the "hope I don't intrude" manners, and any germs of insurgency that drop into Utah are likely to find things rather sterile politically.
