Wil- Jiams, land in town JJ8, 1 w. 1000 JO 30 10 THE SATURDAY SUCCESS of the dollar baiwnyi day instituted Sat Ur du v hv tho Medftml niordmuts should lead to other efforts along tho same line, bargain day of some kind to eity. The growing tendency toward catalog house buying, as far as the farmer is concerned, is directly traceable to the fact that he is growing away from the habit, of driving to town once or twice a week, particularly on Saturdays, visiting the local stores and keeping on friendly terms with the merchants. In other words, the success of the mail order houses depends largely on their ability to create a feeling of antagonism between tho small merchant and his customer. Tho Saturday trip to town is one of the foundation stones of merchandizing in tho small city. If the main street shows a good country crowd on Saturday, it is safe to say that the community is supporting its local institu tions and is prosperous. To encourage the fanner to come to town regularly some communities have instituted regular series of Sat urday fail's. Instead of having one big celebration during tho season they have some event scheduled for each Sat urday, advertise broadcast and put on their special sales and special displays to catch tho bawirday crowds. Tn any concerted effort of tins kind the Medford news papers are always -willing to do their part by advertising the events in proportion to the manner hi which the town merchants advertise their goods. Tho churches also can help make such affairs interesting and at the same time can promote their own religious interests. The man who attends a social affair given by tho church Saturday eve ning is apt to remember that church when Sunday morn ing comes. Judicious combination of sports and other lighter en tertainment features with something of an educational character will make the farmer's Saturday trip to town a permanent and keenly anticipated feature of his week. Free lectures on matters of interest; to the farmer and orchardist will alsrf help draw the crowd. And every thing that serves to center tho farmer's interest in the torn will pay dividends to its merchants. The parcels post, if it materializes, will bring tho farmer one step nearer the big city and in the same meas ure will make it necessary for the small city merchant to adppt more aggressive tactics. tree communication between the farm and town will do more to offset this influence than anv other one thing, But, given that first requisite, nothing else will help the local merchant keep his farmer customer in line so much as frequent personal contact. Here is where the Saturday trip to town counts in dollars, and cents in the dealer's cash drawer. Business men are learning that "hard times" can be overcome if the right curative measures are employed, and what is more important that locally, at least, business stagnation can be -prevented by .judicious stimulation of trade. ' It is up to the merchants of Medford to furnish the stimulant. .Every Medford merchant should ask himself tho fol lowing questien: "What am I doing to bring the farmer and his trade to Medford? Am I making his visits profit able to him as well as myself?" The Medford merchant cannot afford to let the mer chant of any surrounding town undersell him. He must make his store more attractive, carry larger stock and sell as cheap or cheaper, and he must take the farmer's pro duce at a reasonable price. If he does not do this he can not hope to compete with his country rivals, for he docs not make it worth while for the fanner to come to town. llo is merely an aid to other towns. If he docs do this, he will build up not only his own business but that of his eity. JACK GRIBBLE'S CASE. TN SATURDAYS !Mail Tribune a letter was published A from J. F. Spencer, deputy postmaster of Dudley, Ore., extolling the forestry service in general and Forest Ranger J. E. Cribble in particular. The same communi cation appeared in other county papers and also in tho Portland Oregonian, speaking well for the industry of the literary deputy postmaster. Dudley is a cross-roads homestead postofice in tho Crater forest reserve above Buite Falls. The letter is probably the result of the printing by this newspaper of a decision made by the federal land office in one of the nu merous content cases started by Mr. Gribblc to evict the settler, in which Mr. Oribblo was severely taken to task for filtering a. homesteader's cabin with a skeleton key during the settler's absence, to secure evidence against the settler to be used in ousting him from his land. The case was that of the contest filed against Dr. Edward E. Emerson, who had taken a homestead in the Crater National forest. Tho land office ruled as follews: "Tn his apparent eagerness lo make out n case against the claimant, the witness, J. E. Cribble, entered the cabin homo of this settler by means of a skeleton key, thus him self violating a statute, there being no law authorizing any detective, 'stale or federal officer to enter the private home of any person without due process of law. The lit tle cabin home of the settler is as sadrcd under the law as is the home of the man who lives in a mansion on Nob hill." Continuing, the land office ruled: "The contestant has wholly failed to prove any of tho charges and the testimony of the chief witness for the con testant, J. 13. Cribble, is that the claimant did establish residence on the land for he, Cribble, saw him there and also saw his household goods. . . . There is not suf ficient evidence to support any of the charges and tho motion to dismiss is hereby sustained." . The public sentiment against the forestry bureau is Jircctly traceable to such abuses as cited above. If the rangers confined llnmisolves to. projecting the forests from fire, to resecding burned strips, to supervising grass- BARGAIN DAY. tivory Saturday should be a draw country traue nuo iiu Good roads and resultant ling privileges and other legit would be most popular, out when tho rangers commune 'hoiuselvos spies upon poor settlors and spend their ono.r pjos in trying to evict homesteaders and bona fide ontry tner of course they make many hitter enemies, as well as wtHc injustice and hardship upon deserving people. REPLIES 10 OR, RAY PALMER Howard C. Van Meter of the Chris tian Sclcnco Committee on Publi cation, Answer Recent Expres sions ofEvaiiflcllst. CIS lUiClv lUUI.niNO. POUT I.AND, Oro., Dec. 3. To Iho Kdlter: Tho eliarKcs apnlnut tho teaching of Christian Science umdo ly KvnuKellHt Palmer reported In your Iwrne of hint Thursday aro so bold and without rou mint loit that 1 niu nnkliiK space In your columns to refute tlioni. H Is roKrettutde that a rollnlous systnu which tuts done ho much to Usntrt tll In the world through tlio dUfU'intufttlon of the fact of tho om nipotence of God, pood, and the con- si'tjuent powurlessnesH of evil, should ho chanted with Ignoring evil or pns iv lightly over Us effects, Crlrtian Scientists aro charged with saying "there Is no sin, no crime, no death." It in rather gra tuitous to credit Christian Scientists with snyliiK this or that thliiR. They know that In huninn experience there is evidence of a lack of underatnnd Iur of tho nll-nover of Ood, Kood, and because of this lack there exists a belief In tho power of evil, tho axr ctav of which Is sin and tho results suftrliiK and dentil. Furthermore they know that In th decree that tho IniowlrdKu of Hod's nU-nM pre vails, the loilef In evil lessens, and It Is tho'i hope that mankind shall find the way to tho truth which Josiih ald 'hall make you fnn." .'( w to nam thM freedom and hold It r'turrs watching In onler not to he deceived by tho specious argu mentn of evil. Mrs. Kddy has shown la her w-ltliifts how this Is to b do!.e and earned the Krntltudo of thousands In so ilolnK. Thero Is not. the slightest ground for assuming that Christian Science makes light 0 tin or shields the stnnnr. Mrs. !Md' says on pago 203 of "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures": "Sin kills the sin ner and will continue to ktll him so long as he sins." Any and all state ments In Mrs. Hddv's writlnes as to tho non-uxistence of sin In God's ' knlgdom should be recognized as ' pertaining to the oxperlenrn to bo enjoyed by man as fast as ho re leases himself from tho apparent' kingdom of evil. When Kzoklol writes "Tho soul thnt slnneth It shall die" tho moan ing Is that a sinning snuso destroys Jtsolf, became It affords the oppor tunity for good to overthrow ovll, Whon Mrs. Kddy says "soul cannot sin" she uses the word as a synonym for God, whom tho Hlble says Is "of too pure eyos to behold evil and canst not look upon iniquity." That which sins In a mortal Is not tho imago and llkoucss of God, Soul, but Is a wrong or sinful sense that must bo replaced by tho right or true sense. Mr. Palmer quotes Mrs, Kddy as saying that "tho doctrine of tho vl oarlous suffering of Christ Is the most nofnrloun doctrlno over preached and that It has done more to mako Infidels than nil other things put togothor." I hnvo not tho refer ence at hand and am not thoroforo dlsposod to accept his atntoment slnco ho does not specify. However, there Is no doubt that many' persons havo robulled against accepting tho decla ration that tho Buffering of Jesus was ordained by God, whom tho Blblo declares la Love, as expiation for tho world's sin. Jesus was tho Way-Shower and his proof of tho poworlessness of evil was to bo In tho nature of ati object lesson for nil his followers, so that by following his example they could work out their own salvation. It roqulros tho utmost stretch of tho Imagination for any person to Imply as tho speaker did that this toachlug makes no distinction be tween u good man nnd n had one. Christian Science does not excuso wrong doing In any one nor an eva sion of the penalty, but It does glvi tho man who Jinn ylolded to ovll the right to stop slniilng through the knowledge that God doos not create slnnoiH ami thoroforo tho sinning propensity can ho overcome, and when overcomo thero will no longer ho suffering ms ponnlty.
