M&0JH The monthly report of Superintendent of Schools Col lins for the month ending October 7 shows the total number of scholars in public schools of Medford to bo 1102 as against S91 a year ago, an increase of 22 per cent. To this must be added those in private schools, which show a sim ilar increase. In September, 1910, the Medford postoffice did the largest month's business in its history. Receipts totaled $2635.69 as against $1352.66 for September a year ago an increase of 96 per cent, the largest gain of any city in the northwest. The gain for the quarter ending Septem ber 30, 1910, as against the same period for 1909, was 61 per cent. The number of Bell telephones in Medford increased from 703 on January.!, 1910, to 1065 on October 1, an in crease of 51 per cent and the heaviest percentage of gain made by any city in the country. When this gain of 51 per cent is contrasted with the less than 5 per cent made by such cities as Eugene and Salem, and the less than 10 per cent made by Portland, the growth of Medford is ap parent. Medford's bank deposits show an increase of approxi mately 50 per cent over a year ago and the same propor tionate increase is reflected in all lines of business, except in realty transactions. The era of speculation has given away largely to an era of development. Investors are building and improving rather than gambling on values, and more construction is under way than in any of the smaller cities of Oregon. Medford 's destiny lies with Medford 's citizens. As long as we pull together for the common good, as long as we go after things, as long as we display superior energy, Medford will continue to grow, and grow faster than other cities. There must be no let-up in the campaign of prog ress, for this is what is what has made Medford what it is, and will make it what it will be, the second city in Oregon.

F THERE is one man in the politics of Oregon who ought to be retired to private life that man is W. C. Hawley, the assembly nominee for re-election in the First congressional district. His record in congress is a record of betrayal of the people and a foul blot on the name of Oregon. Although Hawley began his career in the humbler walks of life and with every law of nature, association, en vironment and gratitude to spur him to a love of the peo ple, once in congress and intrenched behind an overwhelm ing party majority, he became the cold-blooded attorney of privilege, fergettinc: every interest of the people, votincr always for special interests, the subservient tool of Can nonism and of the Morgans and Guggenheims. It is told of him in his home town that on a hot day while he was sprinkling his lawn an aged and poorly clad woman succumbed to heat and exhaustion in front of his place and that while neighbors rushed to the assistance of the stricken old lady he sprinkled on like a fiddling Nero. Whether this be true or not is of little matter in this cam paign; his record in the last congress, turning a deaf ear to every outraged appeal of the people, sufficiently illus trates tne aosoiuteiy cold-blooded character of the man. And now this betrayer of the people, this disciple of the pork barrel, is back among his constituents appealing to them with a lie upon his lips--"No interests to serve but the public interests." What effrontery this; what immaculate gall! It smacks like an old, old kiss, the lying kiss of a Judas.
