THK WHIT OK INJUNCTION. The bid fur the labor vote in the Democratic national platform an nexed Mr. Samuel Uompera to the Democratic party, but it Is not at all clear that It caught "the labor vote" that la itubborn enough to do Hi own thinking and free enough to cast Us ' own ballots. ' It would be difficult to conceive a greater calamity that could overtake . labor than its entry into the flclJ or politic! as a clam: but the abolition ot the writ of Injunction would work nearly aa much harm a the separa tion of capital and labor Into ania:i' nistlc political organizations. The writ of Injunction ought to be as sound aa the writ of habeas cor pus, and there would be no assault upon It If there were no demagogues In congress and out of congress. The writ of injunction has saved from the torch millions of property: It never yet restrained any one who did not contemplate a wrong, and r II this chatter about submitting the order i 1 a court to the scrutiny and tbe wis dom of a Jury Is pure cant. South America today is tbe most Inviting field in tbe world for capital In a material sense; but capital re fuses to go there simply because It Is not secure under the law. If we abolish the writ of Injunction, or In trust its administration to a Jury, which Is practically the same thing. capital will surely withdraw from gainful enterprise In this country and seek Investment elsewhere. If the demagogues thought it would make votes for their respective parties there would be a demand tbat a writ of habeas corpus should not Issue except upon the verdict ot a Jury.' anawoaA osxoot E.

News that Court Zeppelin airship exploded at Echderlng and was a to tal wreck came like a thunderbolt amid the festive preparations for the reception of a famous aeronaut at Friederlchafen. Tens of thousands of people bad come from all over Ger many to witness tbe return of tbe count from his remarkable voyage. and they were walking along the main street 'of the town in merry an ticipation of the forthcoming jollification. About 4 o'clock a man rushed ex citedly from a local newspaper office and affixed a telegrah at the entrance of the building. The crowd gathered to read the news, expecting he was on the way here. One man began to read aluod, and suddenly stopped as If he could not believe. Then be cried aloud: "The balloon has burned! The balloon has burned!" The intelligence traveled like wild fire. Many curses went up from the crowd and people demanded to know if the court was safe. They were told he was. but that four men were badly burned. The possibility that some rascal had set the balloon afire was suggested by one of the crowd and a discussion fol lowed which lasted some time, until there came another message saying tbat the thunderstorms had upset a c lantlty of benzine, which ignited and caused the explosion. HITCHCOTK HAH COXFKKKXCK. NEW YORK, Aug. G. An Import ant conference between Chairman Hitchcock and Secretary Cortelyoti was held late today at the Manhattan hotel. Besides talking . with Hitchcock about the political situation through out the country, Cortelyou is though; to have taken up the governorsbt, question In New York. Hitchcock declined to say what was talked about, beyond admitting thai he had heard a great deal more about state questions from Representative Bennett and Parsons, who were with Hlcthcock for some time, their mis sion being a discussion ot the guber natorial nomination. IMSSOMTIOX OF rARTXKItSIIHV Notice is hereby given that the co partnership heretofore existing In Medford, Or., by and between Delbert Terrill and E. T. Huth, and doing business under the firm name and style of Terrill ft Huth, Is by mutual consent this day dissolved, Delbert Terrill retiring from said firm. All accounts owed by said firm will be paid by K. T. Huth, and all accounts due said firm are payable to said E. T. Huth. Dated at Medford, Or., this 18th day of July, 1903. DELBERT TERRILL, 50-lt-w3t E. T. HUTH. who are the leaders of the movement In this state, have lost all hope of getting the real thing In the suf rage line and are willing to compro mise on the theory that halt a loaf Is better than uo bread at all. In its new form the bill will pro vide that women who own property, who are of age and who have the necessary qualifications, can vote at all elections held In Oregon. It will be noticed that the petition does not mention a word about "female suf frage," but It Is there all right, and looks as If there was some reason for wording It In the way it Is. An office has been opened in Poit land and Is In charge of a man, who pays the solicitors who are out get ting the signers 3 cents each. Thirty thousand names must be secured in order to get It on the be Hot. Just where the money is coming from no one a pilars to know. Copies of the petition are now being circulated in Portland and are being sent through out the state. The following Is the wording of It: "INITIATIVE PETITION. "To the Honorable F. W. Benson. Secretary of State for the State of Oregon : "We, the undersigned, citizens and legal voters of the state of Oregon, respectfully demand that the follow ing proposed amendment to the con stitution shall be submitted to the legal voters of the state of Oregon for their approval or rejection at the regular general election, to be held on the eighth day of November, A. 1). 1910, and each for himself says: I have personalty signed this peti tion; I am a legal voter of the state of Oregon; my residence and post office address are correctly written utter my name. "Taxpayers' Suffrage Amendment. "Section 2 of Article II of the con stitution of the Stute of Oregon shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows: Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by this con stitution, every citizen of the United States, of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided In the state during the six months im mediately preceding such election, and every person of foreign birth of the age ot 2 1 years and upwards, who shall have resided in this state during the six months Immediately preced ing such election, ana shall have de clared his Intention to become a citi zen of the United States one year preceding such election, conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject ot naturalization, shall be entitled to vote at all elections au thorized by law; it Is expressly pro vided hereby that no citizen who Is taxpayer shall be denied the right to vote on account of sex. Meeting of the Club The regular meeting of tbe Med ford Commercial club was held In the rooms ot the club last night, the pres ident. William Colvlg, in the chair. The first business transacted after the reading of tbe minutes was ad mitting to membership A. I. Randall, who recently purchased the Pellet orchard at Talent. ine matter of the good roads con vention to be held in Portland Aug. 11 was discussed and the general opinion expressed was to e effect that Medford should mane a good showing there. Secretary A. H. Mil ler reported that the following gen tlemen had been named by tbe coun ty judge to attend it: A. C. Allen. F. H. Hopkins, E. T. Staples and J. W. Perkins. Tbe lat ter, however, is unable to go, and some otner name wi.. be substituted. ...e following were named by the club to attend, and it is possible that most of them will make It a point to do so: C. R. Ray, J. D. Olwell, Ed An drews, George Putnam, F. C. Find ley, C. A. Welch, Mayor J. F. Reddy, Dr. E. B. Pickle, Edgar Hafer and J. E. Enyart. In addition to the above the club desire It to be distinctly understood that any one else who can possibly do so can also go with this delega tion and be a member ot the same like the others. A move was made at the nieettug to do something about the handling of fruit at the depot when the trains anive. It appears 'bat there have been Iniys handling a verv pmt ar ticle which Is liable to sive ftraneis the Impression that such is the kind raised here. H. E. Ktn.Hey took an active part in tbe 'lisomwion and strongly urged the cluit ui tit tie some action regarding the mutter. He was nnmed as a commiue? of one to ee what the council could do about It. It Is likely that an Inspector will be appointed to see that only a good quality of fruit is disposed of and that some reliable men be got, who will have the handling of it. BIG CASH SALE OF GROCERIES! Unlike other so called sales our sale lasts all the time. By buying for cash and selling for cash we are able to cut out many expenses incidental to the credit business.

We cannot quote everything but you will find we sell all standard goods, and sell them at a cheaper price than you pay if you buy on credit, or otherwise, elsewhere. H. M. WKIHtKK UOIIBKO. The fact that H. M. Webber of Ash land celebrated the disposal of a load of berries in this city by indulging too much In the flowing bowl and was robbed of the rum of $75 of hard-earned cash goes to prove the old saying that "a fool and his money are soon parted." It appears that Webber and his wife are running a ranch just out from Ashland that fs owned by Mrs. Webber's mother, Mrs. A. J. Roach. Wednesday night Webber started for Med ford with a wagon load of berries, having been informed that there was a in uc. better price for ..tern nere i ha u at home. As it turned out he had no trouble about disposing of his beriles nor the proceeds obtained tor the same, either. Last night Webber was expected back and his wife and her mother had another load, which the two WINNIPEG.

Fred erick Dorr, the well-known stock broker, who last week ceased oneo tlons on the New York stock exchange and Chicago board of trado and 01 dered the closing of his local office, Is wanted on the charge of embezile ment. The accusation against Door ts made by II. P. Norwood of this city, and Is to the effect that Dorr en beiiled 100 shares of common sta".k of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. rani railroad, rallied at about $14,000. turn, the women worried all night long and, realizing that the other toad would be sol pled if not soon dis posed of, they started at daylight and brought It here themselves. Seated in the shade In the vacar.t lot next to the city hall the hear!- bioken wife and her mother told their sad story to a Morning Mail reporter and Chief of Police H. G. Shearer.

It is claimed that Johnson bought a new suit of clothes t a store here yesterday and paid $15 for the same. He also made other purchases, and had quite a little sum in his pockets when arrested, '.he question Is, where did he get the money ? Late last night a saloon keeper took charge of Webber's watch, when he saw that the man was Incapable of taking care en himself.

Two tbousand left work between Fort Wil liam and Vancouver, all at dictates of the executive. Even old workmen In line for pensions went home, and It seems the most complete tleup In the history of railway shops in Canada. This afternoon the men gathered at their halls to appoint committees to carry on the strike. They did not talk much, as their course was previ ously decided on. Some are optimistic enough to be lieve that the trouble will all be over and the men back to work Friday, re- est to postmasters will be discussed ONLY THREE AUK HIGHER. The tax question now so promi nent before the people of this state, will be made more clear by a study of the table, published elsewhere in this issue, and which have been con structed with considerable labor, to show conditions In every county In the state, and are sufficiently accu rate for that purpose, though not mathematically exact In cents and fractions.

Columbia leads with 900 per cent, then Umatilla with 600, Curry with 450, Jackson 430, Morrow 420, Douglas and Tillamook 400 each. It will be noticed by referring to the table that Jackson county had a considerable Increase In the property valuation since 1901. In that year it was only $4,310,504.66, and In 1907 it amounted to the sum ot $22. 811,390.00. This makes an Increase for the six years of f 18,500,835.34, and the percentage of increase is 430, placing Jackson county the fourth one In the state for the percentage of In crease.
