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.'

FRIEDERICHAFEN, Aug. 5.
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.

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

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

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:

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 propose to give you the benefit of this
saving by cutting the prices on our groceries. 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.

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. Man., Aug. 5.
women had ready for him after work- (Trade unionism in Canada has gUen
