Japan is not such a youngster,
after all. The city of Kioto is now

It is not a city of seven hills, but an
ancient capital of thirty-six peaks.

Since the change in running time
ot south bound S. P. trains it is ab
solutely impossible for us to han

to reach this office by Tuesday's

will kindly get them here by that

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.

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.

care if their friends at home enjoy a
little pleasantry at their expense.
