Women of the neighborhood are always, saying of a widewer: "He Isn't the sampi man since he lost his wlte:"vv'- When ono woman tells another what her husband Bald when he pro posed to her It's a sign that he never saldf It. Diplomacy Is the- art of making others believe you are Interested In them when In reality they make you weary, Fewer, marriages would be fail ures If the contracting parties didn't either marry too young or wait until they are too old. If every man said what he thought this old world would bo as miserable as It would if every woman thought what she said. Girls don't take much Interest In pugilism, but they will continue to train for the engagement ring. When a young widow meets a man who thinks he has a broken heart she ects busy and mends it. If the flood had lasted a few days longor Noah's wife would have start ed in to clean house. A rich man's children seem to think it is up to them to mnko u noise in tho world. A blase roan has reached the limit when he no longer thinks his own jokes funny. Man has constructed the flyiner muchino, but he has not succeeded jn tarainfc it. a EPTEMBER first finds Medford maintaining its' load as the banner small oily of the northwest. Postal receipts show u gain over a year ago of sixty-eight per cent. Bank clearances and deposits arc nearly fifty por cent greater. More and costlier buildings are under way than ever in the city's history. Railroad business has increased in proportion. The heaviest pear crop in tho valley's his- L toiy is being shipped, realizing the highest prices of any fruit m the eastern markets. Double the quantity of ap ples produced a year ago will soon bo on their way east. September first sees grading completed on the Pacific & Eastern to Butte Falls and the grade into Medford near ly completed. Construction gangs are busy laying the rails, while other contractors are rushing the extension of the Oregon Trunk down the Deschutes, across the Klam ath country and the Cascades to a junction with it, thus giving Medford two transcontinental railroads. September first, this year for the first time, finds Med ford with the best municipal water supply of any city in the west, with a gravity system bringing Avatcr twenty five miles from its source in the snow-capped sentinels of tho Cascades, with pure water ample for a city of twenty- five thousand people. It finds Medford with a completed distributing system exceeding twenty-one miles of cast iron mains and with work begun on nine miles of main extensions. September' first finds Medford with over ten miles of bitulithic and asphalt paved streets. New contracts total ing over 280,000 square yards of pavement, with curbing and guttering, amounting to over a million dollars, the largest contract ever made on the coast, is but forty per cent completed. "When completed, Medford will be the best paved city of its size anywhere. September first witnesses work begun on a large storm sewer a mile in length to carry off the flood waters from the West Side, and the beginning of work on contracts let for nine miles of sewer extensions, making Medford the best sewered city on the .coast. September first sees phenomenal building activity in the business district. It sees the finishing touches being put on the palatial new depot of the Southern Pacific, costing $50,000, the largest in Oregon outside of Portland. It sees the grounds around it being graded preparatory to parking. It witnesses the near completion of the $50,000 natatorium and its galaxy of amusements, the finest in stitution of its kind north of San Erancisco. September will witness the completion of the four story brick block being erected by the Garnett-Corey Hardware company, of the granite block erected by the Episcopal church, of the three-story concrete building erected by the Ray brothel's, of the three-story wholesale store erected by the Medford Grocery company and of the new pressed brick Davis block. September first sees construction well under way on the Howard brothers' four-story reinforced concrete block, occupying a quarter of a block, on the six-story Medford hotel, on the four-story Page hotel, giving Medford two first-class hotels and the best hotel accommodations of any Oregon city, and the beginning of construction of the Masonic temple, of the Root building, of the Mail-Tribune building, of the "Westerlund block and several other struc tures, as well as innumerable residences. Congress has appropriated $110,000 to erect a federal building in Medford, and September will see the site se lected and preparations under way for its construction. And now come the Sisters of Providence and- offer to erect a $100,000 hospital at Medford, providing a bonus of $10,000, to purchase the site, he raised. Half of it has been secured, and every patriotic citizen should see to it that he gives what he can afford, for by just such actions has Medford 's progress been maintained. Medford is growing by leaps ind bounds. Yet rapid as the improvements are, they cannot keep pace with the demands. There is not now and has not been in five years a vacant building or a house to let. And Medford 's future is brighter this first day of September than ever. pose to support Cannon for spqakor't" The opponents of Air. Ilawley are in tho same "pitiful need" for something to say that the oppononts to Can nonism have been all over the country where this question has been submitted to the people, and so far tho returns indicate that it is a great year for (lie people of "pitiful needs." . The same pitiful' need whipped an administration into Jonahiug its staunchest apostle, caused an Oregon con gressman to desert his captain under firo and moved the Oregonian, in all its wealth of verbosity, to the above stick fu)l of clever, clean-cut humor. Yes, we are pitifully in need of somothing to say in opposition to Cannonism and its disciples, but what wo offer is in all seriousness, and we submit that our dearth of ideas on; the subject is better than the tongue-tied atti tude of Mr. Ilawley and his clever and Verbose cham pion. No, our effort was not a clumsy attempt at a joke; wo prefer to tread the humble but pitiful paths of serious ness. With the Oregonian in the field, there is no chance of distinction in the field of humor; its attitude on all pub lic questions is so subtlely, cleverly, keenly humorous that we of the pitiful needs must stick to the serious. .i.i..ii.ii iii it..

To most persons the basis of such criticisms is noth ing short of idiotic, and it is difficult to believe that they are seriously made. Yet so it would seem if the following from Hawley 's most ardent assailant is not to be interpret ed as a clumsy attempt at a jeke: the recent session of congress, he is all the more deserving of it now. If Cannonism was right then, it is right now. Who, worthy of the name of man, deserts a champion under firo? What kind of a soldier is it that follows his captain into battle, shouting his praises, to cowardly de sert when the battle rages fiercest V "Mr, Hawloy's opponents are obviously in pitiful need of something to say.
