as Second CI m Mail Hatter.
MbpPv3d, Friday, June 23, 1893.
Hox. Lelasd Stanford, Cali
tornia's greatest benefactor, died at
Palo Alto, Tuesday night:
A reader of The Mai;, in a dis
tant land would needs hunt long
and well to find the address of a
real estate dealer in ijedford and
t hen not find it.
The flower and vegetable gardens
and the fruit orchards in and about
Medford are a most beautiful sight
to look upon. Verily, this is the
paradise of the world.
Of course Medford is all right,
railroad or no railroad, but things
would pop most mightily if Mr.
Leadbetter should carry out his
promised enterprises and we still
have faith.
It is being whispered that the
fruit growers hereabouts will soon
be getting-anxious as to what they
are to do with their fruit. It will
then dawn upon tliess good people
that' some means ought to have been
provided months ago for handling
their products.
- The Chicago Mail,- alluding to
the editorial convention in that city,
speaks of the "well-dressed mould-1
en of thought." They fall several
notches shy of being moulders of
thought. Tbey are the gilded eou
" pon clippers of the ''business office."
The- moulders of thought are at
home picking cockroaches out of
the paste pot
Several of our exchanges are
''running" an ad for the Canadian
Music Folio. Thin firm owes The
Mail. $6.40 since last fall and
pays ne attention to statements Eent
it. It is six dollars and forty
cents charged to experience. We
have a few more on the shady side
.of this same account and we will
give our newspaper friends the
profit on our experience jn another
issue of The Mail.
Ax amcsixg spectacle is that
which wends the pathway of dis
consolate Medfordites back again
to this God given paradise of ours
after having been cooked to a turn
'nfcilb the scorching sun's rays of
Soc'ncrn California. WHle the
fact id amusing it is never-the-le-8
flattering to our valley, and as tbey
seek once more the clime that is
most congenial and the populace
that is ever kind, a hearty welcome
is extended them.
Mrs. Harris, mother of Cariyle
Harris, who was electrocuted in
Jew York recently for the murder
of his young, wife, has written nu
merous books, many of which have
met with a most cordial welcome at
the hands of the reading public.
Strange as these things may appear,
in ' view of these recent occur
rences, the most popular and prais
ed of tier volumes was devoted to
the home circle. One chapter was
applied to instructing- readers
.how to bring up children to be the
pride of parents, and another told
bow to make home attractive to the
husband. Young Harris' fate, and
the fact that Mrs. Harris and her
ihusband had long lived apart taken
together with the conceded excel
lences of the publication, strikingly
. illustrate the wide difference be
tween theory and practice.
As the Medford business college
Jbuilding nears completion we often
wonder if our good people realize
the importance which this institu
tion will a4d to our fast growing
city? We sonder if you realize
that it is -the only institution of the
kind between Portland aDd San
Francisco and that such an institu
tion will prove to be the best pos
sible means of building up our city
as an educational center? We
wonder further if our people have
loosened their purse string as much
as they ought? Not a business
man is there in Medford but
what can well attorn to con
tribute toward the erection of this
building and make good interest
on the money invested. The col
lege is now built but there must be
some assistance rendered else it may
not be occupied as soon as is expect
fid: The name, "Medford Business
oJlege,!' is one- which will adver
tise our city the entire length of the
Pacific coast. If Mr. Rigby is com
pelled to complete the college un
assisted no person would have the
right to say him nay should . he
christen it the "Northwest" or
"Rigby" business college.
It has not been the intention of
The Mail to allure, or attempt to
allure, our readers on to any des
perate' means regarding the pros
pects'of railroad extensions, but we
have always had an abiding faith
in Mr. Leadbetter's intentions and
we now have it from a source very
reliable that the, to some, apparent
inertia has not only strengthened
our possibilities but has in reality
made the success of the preposition
more substantial than we had hard
ly dared to hope for, even in our
most sanguine expectations. Upon
Mr. J. S. Howard's return from
Portland, recently, we interviewed
the gentleman on the subject and
while he is not at liberty to divulge
any of tho inside plans of Mr.
Leadbetter and his associates hj is
open in his expressions of confidence
and says that never before have our
chances been so flattering as right
at the present time.
As time moves on, in away it got
into the habit of doing years ago,
and The Mail's subscription list
grows larger the need of a new and
more modern printing press becomes
more noticeable.and every time our
old Washington press is handspiked
around over two thousand times
each week with a mnscul ar move
ment which gives one "that tired
feeling'' we disclaim our loyalty to
the man who invented this great
boon to county newspapers and ex
tend our reach ever into the arena
of modern machinery and power
presses. Our reach over into that
realm hasn't come in contact with
anything in the press line as yet,
but if our subscribers who are ow
ing us will sort o' wend their way
in our direction with the necessary
collateral we will strive mightily to
place The Mail office on a level
with all other things modern in
this garden spot of the great Rogue.
A sort of financial fatality seems
to overhang the gubernatorial office
in Ohio. Thomas L. Young, who
succeeded Rutherford B. Hayes,
died in comparative poverty in Cin
cinnati a few years after his re
tirement. A small salary, the pro
ceeds of a pettv political appoint
ment, was all that saved him from
absolute want in his declining
years. Richard M. Bishop, very
wealthy when he became governor.
was bankrupt when his term closed.
George Hoadly was ruined by se
curity obligations during his term.
Governor Campbell ran upon finan
cial reefs and was totally wrecked
during bis canvas against McKin-
ley. He was governor at the time
and was a candidate for re-election,
Governor McKinley's turn came
next, his misfortunes being a matter
ofvey recent history. The only
exception since the close of R. B.
Hayes' term has been Governor
Foraker, who retired much poorer
than be was when he assumed the
office, but wag not insolvent. The
failure of Ex-Governor Foster the
other day completed the list. And
vet men will run for governor in
Ohio which shows that the Buck
eyes are not a superstitious people,
Card of Thanks.
To the many friends who were so
kind and sympathizing: during the re
cent illness, death and burial of my
husband, I tender my most heartfelt
gratitude. It seems impossible for me
to thank you enough. May God bless
you for your kindness in my affliction.
Mrs. Jessie M. Faris.
