OR months the columns of the villnge press of .Tnck- - son countv have reeked with accusations against the "Medford gang" running the county court. Mio is there in Medtord that comprise this gang What citizens in Medford have personally profited by the expenditures of county money? What has Medford ever asked of the county court, more than other cities have isked? This is all campaign clap trap and guff, started by the opponents of progress and of road bonds, in order to se cure the election of an Ashland non-progressive as county judge. Medford pays more taxes bv fiftv percent than all other cities in Jackson county put together. It has re ceived less in countv expenditures.

You may have a hazy notion What a cabby might remark Should ho chance to meet a chauf feur All alone and in the dark. And perhaps you think a barger Doesn't bristle like a thug When ho" meets in conversation With the captain of a tug. No, the language that is loosened Won't exactly lull to sleep, When a man who's punching cattle Meets a man who's herding sheep; But the art of profane diction Never yet has dared aspire To the record made by rangers To the soldiers fighting fire. A coward is a man who dares not eomo out in open and make a big bluff. toimty judge, the village papers denounced him as a can iUtl;ii of the "Medford gang" who "hoped to keep their hands in the countv trcasurv." When Mavor Canon was mentioned, he was the candidate of this same conspiring gang and the plot thickened for "Med ford's master pol il'rian." When Mr. Merrick announced his candidacy, of -.urse He also is accused ol being tlio gangs choice. 'onuuissioner fr. L. Davis is the "instrument or the gam:.'' When he resigns, he is denounced worse for get fin ut than he was for staving in. His resignation is pictured as part of a foul plot. Frank Brown is named to fill the vacancy, lie is denounced before he takes his seat as the "tool of the Medford gang'' and so it goes, sill; rot and lolly verging on the edge ot Jibel. As a matter of fact, it does not make any difference .is to the ability or standing or reputation of the candi date it is simply a case of petty village animosity and jealousy. No one that could be suggested for county judge in an part of the county would satisfy these knockers, ex cept an Ashland unprogressivc- and the animus and object of all the mud-slinging, all the slander, all the graft insin uation is simply to secure the election of George W. Dunn as county judge, a man Tried four years and found wanting. Who increased taxes without auvthing to show for it except a reduced county indebtedness that profited the warrant shavers and cent-per-cent sharks, Who built no tjood roads and no bridges, and left no enduring monuments to mark his regime, Too narrow, too prejudiced, too limited to guide a pro gressive county in its most important era of development.

It Is up to the other candidates to rustle up their aged relatives. THE Portland Oregonian and the Portland Telegm are to be congratulated for (somewhat tardilv) t' lowing the example of The Mail Tribune and other first class family newspapers and cutting out the filthy fake specialist and obscene quack-doctor ads. With a few other eliminations, these dailies will be fit for .family perusal. The sacrifice to decency made by such newspapers will be better appreciated when it is known tlnit this adver tising has paid the Oregonian $30,000 a year and the Telegram $32,000 a year. For many years these journals otteuded their readers and promoted fraud, by furnishing these human vultures their afflicted prey tor a cash con sideration. The Oregonian is evidently taking to heart the lec t'lres given by The Mail Tribune on newspaper ethics. 1 1' it keeps progressing, it may in time realize what decent i ("jde think of it for advertising falsehoods about polit ical frauds and quacks, like the unspeakable Lafferty, simply because the.y are paid for. Thr ijuaoks and nostrums have retired to the Port lanil Journal, where thev are making a final stand. The Journal, an excellent newspaper in many ways1 probably ijcids tho money, for its columns are filled with those adwrfifsciiicnts which the Oregonian and Telegram now tdinit unfit for publication, tt is easy to be virtuous wlu-n it doesn't cost anything perhaps our enemies uiiuhi say that's why The Mail Tribune is virtuous. Oik- thing the elimination of quack advertising will do -and that is open the way for the legitimate practi ' inner to advertise. There is no reason why the physician and surgeon should not advertise as well as any other business man and in course of time, with the fakir out . f tbo rrvul lie will.
