MtDTOKU JUNE 6, IHuS. 8 B5CKIPriON li.go PER YEAR Entered In the poatoffice at Medford, Ore' gon aa second diss mail mailer. Never before In the history of Or egon or of any other atate, hai aa val lant, forceful and winning a fight been made In behalf of education aa baa been waged In thla atate during the past few months In support of tbe university appropriation wblcb was auatalned Monday by an over whelming majority. When the movement wat first In augurated agalnat tbe university, pol itics bad much to do with the situa tion, but aa the real status of things dawned upon the public mind and the atate waa receiving a black eye from abroad, while Washington, Ida bo and California, aa adjoining atatea, took advantage of Oregon'a aeemlng disloyalty to ita own to boost their own atatea In tbe eyea of new comers, to the great disparagement of Oregon. It waa then that Oregon pride and the Oregon aplrlt came to tbe front, politics waa lost aight of and the people, regard leaa of a gov ernors veto and one or two knock era of the university rallied to Its support, and today, with the excep tion of one email paper, the Sclo Newa, published in a little Linn county bamlet of three or four hun dred, the preaa la a unit in aupport of tbe appropriation, and every com' merclal organiiation of any conse quence whatever, societies of what ever nature, all the prominent men in the various walks of life, have come in a moat vigorous aupport of tbe In stitution which given assurance that when the votea are counted in June honest but misguided men like Cyrus Walker and Eugene Palmer will aee education put upon a foundation that will stand so long aa Oregon ataya on the map aa a state In the grand old republic of America. While tbia fight for educational Interests has, temporarily, been detri mental to Oregon's advancement, it will prove. In the end, to have been the best tblng that could possibly have happened, and when the newa ta spread around the world that Or egon haa spoken for all time to come for the best Interests of her sons and daughters the reaction will come that will make of this a greater and js grander state and of the university 'one of the leading educational Instt . tntlons of the nation. Already the university is feeling the effect of the recent great "cam paign of education," as evidenced by the fact that, although the prusont freshman class Is about 150, applica tions for entrance for tho new year Indicate that freshman Attendance for 1908-9 will be almost double the present attendance. There la a aplrlt abroad which saya no man can be loyal to hla atate and to Its best Interests who Is not loyal to ita educational Institutions, and Uhat spirit was manifest In a most 'convincing manner at Monday's elec tion, Did you ever stop to consider that utter, abject poverty la almost un known in Jackson county among people capable of earning a liveli hood. There are no able-bodied men or women begging for a chance to earn a living. The charitable people of Medford have but little op portunity to bestow their bounty. At the county poor farm are a few old people who, by reason of sickness, misfortune or other causea, have come to, in their old age, charges upon the public, but that la all.

We believe that it would be well for the Commercial club to fol low out some of hla Ideas In regard to the matter of the proper disposal of refuse from the city. The sum mer months are coming on and a city cannot guard ita health too care fully, for, as he said, it is better tbat the city spend some few tbouaanda of dollars than to lose one cltlaen from a dlseaae that owes its origin to filth.

State Depositary Capital and Surplus $115,000.00 G. R. Lindley, Cashier Anti-Saloon Parade. Yesterday afternoon there were probably more children on the streets of Medford at one time than there haa ever been before. The Sunday schools of the city paraded in the in' terests of prohibition and the atreeta were lined on either aide for blocks by eager spectators. It waa a sight never before seen In Medford, and It will probably be remembered long as the first time tbat tbe children of the city pleaded with the votera of the county by an immense parade in which bannera stating their vlewa on the liquor question waa displayed. There were fully 1000 children In the line of march, which waa In itself of no ahort length. The children car ried many banners with varloua mot toa upon them, appealing to the by standers to vote out the saloons. Many women were in the line and a number of the business men of the city. Tbe parade waa formed at the city park, under the direction of several men of the city, and headed by the Jacksonville band, tbe long line started on ita march down Seventh street. The street waa cleared for the paraders and waa kept clear of wagons, automobiles and the like. When the Nash Hotel was reached the line doubled several tlmea and bunched the paradera In a crowd in front of the hotel. Tbe band then started to play, and to the tune of Marching Through Georgia," a par ody was sung which appealed to ta voters standing about to "vote th? county white." After a ahort program by the ban! near the Nasb, the tine was again termed1 and the next atop waa mu ic on Central avenue. The band played several patriotic airs and Rev Mr. i'ell rendered a solo, and waa heart ily applauded. Upon the completion nf' the solo and a few sho.-. P'o gramea by the band the line of march waa again: taken up and tbe line cir cled aoutft to Eighth street. . From Klghth street tbey marched to the Nash hotel, where the paraders dis banded, the little children being tak en care os by their Sunday school teachera. The banners carried by tbe parad era were numeross and were char acteristic of tbe sentiment for which the parade stood. Several cartoons were on banners, one particularly at tracting attention being a reference to the so-called Reddy amendment. Tbe parade was a feature that has been used extensively in the Southern states in their campaign for prohibi tion, and la said to be very success ful. Each of the persons in the parade wore a ribbon upon which was print ed the words, "Vote out the Saloons. Leading the parade was a huge ban ner upon which were the words, "We follow Georgia." The parade wna conducted success fully and nothing ot a serious nature occurred, which was remarkable, considering the age of some of the children who paraded. The children were all membera ot the Medford Sunday schools. PACIFIC COAST I.KAtil K. PORTLAND, June 3. Portland 6. Loa Angelea 1. SAN FRANCISCO, June 3. San Francisco 6, Oakland 7.

In "The Riddle of Personality the author. U. Addlugton Brace, analyzing the hypnotfe treutment of hallucina tions or Irrational fears that often end In madness or suicide, says: Few people are aware of the extent and variety of this form of mental dis ease. There Is, in truth, no predicting; the strange obsesftlomi tbat mny In-, rade the human mind, banntinp It with vampire-like insistence. One man. ter-; rilled by be knows not what, iniiy And himself unable to cross an open (quice; another be afraid to venture ontdoon alone; another to sit In a room with closed doors; another may feel that every one be meet Is eylug and crltl-1 cUing him; another asserts that he la made of glass and must exercise the greatest care to prevent himself being smashed to fragments. Such fears would be ludicrous were tbey not so tragic. Particularly pathetic Is a case thnt came to Professor Janet's notice some years ago. Mme. P., a dyspeptic, hud been put on a diet of toast and water j and. rebelling, was wont to indulge In ' secret in coffee and rolls. These she found did her little harm, and grndmil-, ly tho habit grew upon her until finally j she passed her entire time wandering) from one Parisian restaurant to nn- j other, drinking from twenty to thirty j cups of coffee a day and consuming Incredible quantities of rolls. At night If she chanced to wake and could find no coffee and rolls In tbe house she would pace her room la feverish anx iety until the restaurants opened In the morning. Somewhat similar to another case re ported by tbe name authority: "Here is a young woman, Que, twenty-six years of age. In coming to see us she brings with ber a large bag, and ber pockets are filled to overflow ing. What Is she bringing with ber In coming to- os for a consultation? It Is simply provisions for the journey. She has in ber bag and In her pockets several pieces of bread, a few slices of ham. some chocolate tablets nnd some sugar. One wonld sny that she was going to cross a desert when It Is simply a question of crossing a few streets. The provisions are In.tlspcnfttt ble to ber, for, especially In the open air and fn squares. It is absolutely necessnry that she should take some thing to strengthen her. At tho end of several steps she fels dazed. Ire comes dlzry, chokes and Is covered with cold sweats. The dnnger would bo great If she did not know the rem edy. AH she needs Is to st rcngthen herself. Sho cats a piece of ham. puts a piece of sugar In her mouth and Is thus able to take a few more steps. Hut very soon It nil logins again, and It Is only with the aid of rolls and chocolates that she Is able to cross a square. One can therefore under stand her miserable plight whon ber provisions run short. She is obliged at all costs, with unheard of efforts, to cross the desert to reach an oasis that to, a bakery. During this terrible Journey she gets along as best she can. She may pick up a raw potato, capture an onion or a few. green leaves. This hardly sustains ber, but gives her enough strength to reach a bakery. In general she prefers to re main at borne. That to less danger ous, and so she does nothing else but prepare and eat food all day long. For such unfortunates there to little hope unless they place themselves un der the care of the skilled psyebopa thologlst. tbe savant accustomed to ex plore tbe vagaries of the mind and able to touch the hidden springs of thought and feeling and action. Then and only then will the evil spirits of obsession be exorcised and tbe strick en mind find itself once more In har mony with Its envlroqmeQt Almost a Dossn.
