JOSHUA PATTKKSON, for many years county com missioner, has long dominated county affairs. 'Hie office of county commissioner is not a re-munora-tivo one. It involves considerable sacrifice of time for the nominal fee of $3 a day. Mr. Patterson was a candidate for re-nomination at. the hands of the republican party in the primaries. Irr. Patterson was defeated for the nomination in a fair contest, despite the aid of the large force of men lie em ployes on road work, and the active assistance of mer chants and mechanics to whom he throws county patron- acre.

Mr. Patterson, however, refuses to abide by the de cision of a majority of the voters of his party. Mr. Patterson has bolted his party and is ruimiug as an independent candidate for county commissioner. What is there so attractive about the county conunis sioncrship that Mv. Patterson makes such strenuous ef forts to retain it? Mr. Patterson is a well to do man. The $3 a day that he gets is no object. What is it. then? Party lines should not and do not counl in county af fairs. It is a question of principle and personality. The republican party rejected Joshua Patterson be cause the voter's were insurgent against his methods and svstem. Irrespective of party, voters will reject Mr. Patterson because they also are insurgent against what he repre sents shabby and corrugated roads, unscientific methods of road building, and neglect of entire rond districts for veal's at a time. Jackson county has progressed and the county road system must progress also. FOR A CITY BEAUTIFUL.

But for the timely assist ance of Dr. Pleasure might have re sulted seriously. Mrs. Thougbtwell says "she had heard a great deal about the Nnt Theater, end thought she would attend the performance last evening. She got to laughing over a picture entitled "Tho Fool's Head in tho Lions' Cage," and be camo hysterical. Dr. Pleasure was called In nnd had Mrs. Thoughtwell removed to her homo, and succeeded hi getting tho laughing spoil broken at 11 a. m. today. Whilo "The Fool's Head In the Lions' Cage" is proba bly ono of tho greatest pictures over shown in Medford, the Nat Theater will not bo responsible for any acci dents that occur in laughing over it. Tonight and tomorrow night. Ad mission 10c. NOW that the Southern Pacific has built and opened at Medford the finest passenger station on its lines in Oregon, it is hoped that it will lose no time in making the depot surroundings fit the building. Plans for parking the immediate viciuity have been accepted, but the proposed park is not extensive enough. AH of the shacks on the railroad right of way from Fifth street to Eighth should be removed and the ground beautified. Such action will improve the appearance of the city a hundred per cent. It will make Medford attractive to everv tourist and incidentally increase the railroad busi ness. The frame shacks that now adorn the right of way should be moved south or torn down altogether. They are unsightly, and some of them are in danger of collapse. The remaining poles on business streets should come down. Clustered lights should replace the overhead are lights. Shade trees should line the residence streets and then Medford will indeed become the city beautiful.

To the Editor Dear Sir: Will you oblige me by publishing an emphatic denial of the report, which seems to be abroad, alleging Unit I am not fa vorable to the lnenMire for the main tenance of the T. O. State Normal school at Ashland, about to be bub mitted for the vote of the people at our coming election. I can fortunately refer to my pre vious record to prove my portion towards the sehoolr when serving as representative for Jackson County during the session of the legislature of 1905, at which time I worked for the liberal appropriation then ob tained. And again during the ses sion of 1907, when adverse legisla tion was threatened, as u private cit izen I traveled to Salem along with other public spirted citzens of Ash land and Jackson counties to work for the interest of our Normal school. Imay add that, during my present canvass of the county I find the sentiment of the people so largely in fnvor of the proposed bill lor permanent maintenance of the school that I have 110 doubt whntcvor of an nil but unnnimoiiM vote in favor of the measure. Hepectfully, II. VON DER IIKLLEN, Republican Nominee for State Sena tor, Jackson County.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Tho con sensus of opinion among those who figure the chances of Connie Mack's team wlnuning the championship is that the Cubs must show moregln- gerif they retain their title. Here's what they all say: Another case of youth agrlnst age; speed and enthusiasm against list lessness following continued success." A. C. Anten: "The Cub3 lacked ginger and the usual snap they have always displayed. Perhaps the open ing defeat had this effect on Chance's men. But for perfect Bupport Qoombs would have Io3t his game." Ty Cebb: "Truly tho Athletics showed great defensive strength. Mor decal Brown was not up to expecta tions." George Mullln: "Tho Cubs wore outplayed in every department. I cannot couceivo how tho Cubs have any possible bopo for ultimate vic tory," Joe Tinker: "Everything was breaking for them and against us." Bill Lange: The Cubs were out lucke'd, but thoy must show more In order to win," Hugh Fullerten: "It was too much Collins. Collins out-thought and out played tho Cubs." "Doc" White: "Tho Athletics' In field looked as good, If not better, than the Cubs' infield." Hasklns for health. MOTOR FIRST TO USE THE NEW STATION The Grants I'nss-Ashland motor car, going north at 4:18, was tho firt to discharge and receive pas sengers at the new Medford depot, and at that had to wait a few minute.-, to allow some belated ones, who were not aware of the change, to make the hike from the old depot to the new one. There was very little confusion on this account, however, as the railway employes were ready to give infor mation to inquiries and even to vol unteer it to prospective passongvts who had lost their bearings on ac count of tho change, Chicago Beats Jap.

An educated ad reader will never be poor. To "know advertising" is, to have a prac tical knowledge of values of things of when and how and where to buy. No one, having and utilizing such knowledge, could ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless or reckless of expenses. For such knowl edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes one proof against shams false values manipulated reductions.
