This is the time of year when wom an demonstrates her superiority to man by looking cool whether she is or not. Doing business without advertis ing is like pulling against the tide ; you make progress, but it will make you sweat to do so. The tennis blazer and the bicy cle bloomers are making the con servative individual of either sex as lonesome as Robinson Crusoe. Just as soon as Attorney Benson can possibly get arounll to it The Mail would like to have him collect that $50 bond that was forfeited by Nickell and Shultz. Immediately following the dis agreement of the jury in the Swin-gle-Langell case at Klamath Falls, Judge Hanna impanelled a new jury and the case was re-trietl resulting in a verdict of acquittal, j A Girl baby was born at Koko mo, Ind., the other day who is the fourteenth daughter of a fourteenth daughter of a fourteenth daughur, a record thought to be unpre cedented. She ought to be a witch, if there is any truth in tradition. Arthur Battersox, one of the best all 'round newspaper men in Washington, has sold his Ellens burg Register, and will probably visit Southern Oregon before locat ing again. "Bat" was a student of The Mail editor, 'way back sev eral years ago but, like the small boy "he's a better man than his dad." Japan is not such a youngster, after all. The city of Kioto is now celebrating the eleventh centenary of its founding. What Rome is to Italy, Kioto is said to be to Japan. It is not a city of seven hills, but an ancient capital of thirty-six peaks. Among her relics is the giant skull of an old emperor. To this she might now add the gall of Russia's czar. Since the change in running time ot south bound S. P. trains it is ab solutely impossible for us to han dle correspondence unless mailed to reach this office by Tuesday's mail. Our several correspondents will kindly get them here by that date and oblige this shop which is already under great obligations ! for their help in making The Mail what it is a paper for all the people. An impression of Medford will be formed by many people next Thursday July 4th be it good or bad will depend upon the general appearance of the city and the manner in which we treat our visitors. Perhaps it will be the first visit for some of these people. A good impression will be lasting, a poor one equally so. Let us all en deavor to make it a good one. Let us be not too much for ourselves; let us extend all the courtesies possible to those who visit us. Our reward will be not only a kind act well placed, but a multiple of the kindness will return to us by way of future visits and patronage. mm taw A Medford gentleman, and a heavy taxpayer, has asked us if we did not think it possible to have all official business of the county published in one newspaper. He claiming that it is now necessary to take every paper in the county to get all the official notices of the courts and sheriff. The Tfiea would be a very proper one and if carried in to execution would save dollars to many of the taxpayers. Let all the newspaper boys get in and submit bids for this work and then award the contract to the one that will do it for the leaBt money, conditioned of course, that the paper has a bone fide circulation of at least one thousand. There is no need of our friends or enemies asking of Sheriff Pat terson the privilege of publishing sheriff sale notices in The Hail. He will not have it that way and has so stated by letter. However, we can save you money on these propositions like this; you come to us and get our figures and then ask the sheriff to place the notices in some other paper at the same price which he has promised to do. Mr. Patterson is undoubtedly a very good fellow, but he didn't like the position we took on that construction mileage matter to Oregon City some several months ago and despite the fact that our figures were less on sheriffsales than any other paper in the county we don't get them. But, notwithstand ing this state of affairs, we have managed to pull through twelve months of Mr. Patterson's sheriff administration. Kicks That the Kicker Has to flake. BY THE KK'KEU. I notice several of our merchants bare Iwg industriously at iftrk tht work leaning up about the bark door of their places of business and decorating the fronts with flags and bunting. No kirk on thai. It's a sensible idea. I have a kick coming on some side walks of this city, and about the only way there seems to be to square myself will he lei take that kick out on the protruding nail head and ends of planks that clear the supposedly level surface by fnm two to six inches. There is need of repairs. "These are hard times." I hour a farmer say. Well. U 1 htlle waller when ytsj throw away your ashes and grrn.c and buy soap: when you allow the manure to acrurau late about your bams and your rtrMs In actual need of it; when you catch live cent 0h with a 4 rod: when you send your son out with a tl'i.hiirvh snth ili-trief. emifer-.-nce Kun and S.1) doc to hunt l.Vcent frame. Your fathers didn't do this sort of thln-nl they didn't cry hard limea. because they didn't e pect so much of the world as we do. They were content with much less-lhelr notion, were not as high strunx as ours but they all told u they were happy-we are ooL Brevity is acknowledged rhe soul of j wit. That being the case the Kicker ha-s com piled these brevities: Minister, hare you a sermon to preach? Make it short. Lawyer, have you an argument to present ? Make It short. Kunny man, bare you a joke to tell? Make it short. Ladies, nave you pie crust or dresses to make Make cm short. Saloonist, do you keep a slate? Keep it short. Young man. have you a marriage engagement on band? Make U short. Obituary writers and pre si dents, make your messages short. It Is not necessary to advise bank cashiers as to their accounts. They are sure to make them short. Sunday was a prt-tty warm day, as almost everyone will admit. The shady side of an oak and a cool draft from the "old oaken bucket'- were bailed as treasures, but because the day was warm and a cool drink of water re freshing, there is no reason why the horse we drive or ride does not feel tbe heat and long for that cool drink which he don't always get. I saw a young man ride up to a pump in this city Sunday, dismount and lake several draughts of nature's cool beverage, but the horse, healed and dust covered, got not a drop to moisten Its dry lips. Such treatment is Inhuman and a man who will thus treat his horse is a man on ly in stature. "America for Americans." No kick on that. Medford for Medford people. No kick there, either: hut the principle Is not carried out to th limit of entirety. A Medford man's dollar which is going to be expended in the construction of ucw buildings, improving side walks and streets, is not the full value of the dollar to the city unless a Medford laboring man is given an opportunity to earn it. The business man or capitalist wlm employs me chanics from other towns to do his work is not building up a feeling of Iricndsliip among the less fortunate laborers at home that will strew his pathway with roses. Hose tiushes huve thorns ami if when gathering the fragrant (low ers. the gatherer insists upon taking bush and all. he must expect that tbe thorns will prick him. This is a free country, this America: but a fellow in exercising that freedom born of a loyal and independent people, must use that discretion which is supposed to be innate with us all. Medford has mechanics In nearly all the several lines. They are capable men. hon est and law abiding, and there Is a rivalry existing between them that demands a mates upon consiruction work, fn consequence j of which no person Is going to be 'neeceu who gives them a contract. The Kicker don't like to see things go otherwise Medford for Med fordites. 1-t each town or city look after the interests of its own people. This is Medford and we are living inside the incorporate limits of the city, and we have no right to go outside these limits to procure that which call be had inside, provided, of course, that our neighbors dfi not intrude upon the generosity which we feel we ought to extend. People's Party fleeting. There will be a People's Party Club meeting at Woolf's hall, Saturday night, June 2U. ltt. The Hon. S. 8. Pentz has kindly consented to address the people under the auspices of the Populist club of Medford. on the great question of the day, "What Should Our Money and Banking Be?'

Sec. pro tem . A Few Pleasantries. When a woman wants to laugh in her sleeve she is not cramped for lack of room. While a man is at a public meet ing talking economy his wife is home practing it. A man with no family blames his lack of success to the fact that he had no one he cared to work for; a man with a family accounts for his failures by saying they dragged him down. PERSONAL J. G.

They camped just across the creek from me last night, but they are sort of a Salva tion Army crowd and I didn't mingle with them." This is a little tough on these very estimable people. but if they are having a gotni time they won't care if their friends at home enjoy a little pleasantry at their expense. A 5ad Household.
