Oar esteemed contemporary, Mr. Harrlman, having arrived noma in New York after his vacation, has something to say about railroads. The principal things are that "rail roads need protection as well as regulation," that railroads should be permitted to make pools and agree ment and that railroad rates should advance, aaya an exchange. Of course, air. Harrlman reports Ilia own roads in excellent physical condition and attributes their strong market position to tbis fact. The advance in rates he desire so the weak roads will be able to Improve their physical condition, wblcb, he fear, tbey will be unable to do with out that concession. Pools and agreements Mr. Harrl man believe are essential to the routing of commodities along tbe line of least resistance. This, la atom mysterious way, be Intimates will be of advantago to tbe public. But be doe not explain bow. W fear if Mr. Harrlman did start to explain bis various propositions might become tangled. Moving traf fic on llnea of least resistance im plies lower rate to tbe public, or greater railroad profit. In fine. It mean that one road should move the traffic and divide the profits with another that la deprived of it. Hirher rates that will enable the weak loud weak because badly lo mfvl or overcapitalized to Improve their ibyaical condition should en able the "strong" roads to pay divi dends tlift will Justify more capital ization. And Mr. Harrlman has tos tlfeid to his willingness to "capltal 14 the future" of a railroad prop erty. Mr. Harrlman Is clever. He Is In teresting. Hut he la not convincing. Every train brings new arrivals to Medford. many of whom are seek ing Investments and a permanent residence In this prolific fruit-pro ducing section, while some few come atmply to look over the country, loarn what they can of our resources and return to their homes In the east to tell of the wonders of this Wonderland.

Jacksonville Post. StXHtKS WKKK IHtOWXKIt. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 23. A special cable to the Post-Intelligencer from Wrangle says scenes that wordb cannot describe marked the last hours of the unfortunates who were numbered among the victims of the wreck of the bark Star of Bengal on Coronation Island Sunday.

Captain Wagner waa making a desperate effort to Induce the tugs to take off at least the men, but no help came. The ship lay at anchor In sufficient water to have held her safe, but the gale Increased in force and those on the doomed vessel could quickly see there was no hope. The only chance was to get asbore and In doing so five score of men went down to wat ery graves, the serious charge being made by Wagner that every one is a victim to rank cowardice of the masters of the tugboats Hattte Gage and Kayak. Wagner make a still stronger assertion. He insists that the captains of the tugboat shall be punished it It Is In bis power to bring them to account for alleged neglect and cowardice. PARK TO UK KM.AHGK'O. If the citizens of the city of Med ford are proud of the city park now, what will they be when they find it double the size it is now. For that is surely going to be the case or the ladies of the Greater Medford club will know the reason why. Not wishing to be content with the splendid work done 'by establishing and beautifying the city park and by establishing the public library, the ladies "God bless them" have been looking around to see where there Is something else which they could do, and. by the way, they had not very far to look. "We want another park," suggest ed one. and immediately every lady of the club wanted to second the mo tion, and from what the ladles have shown that they are capable of do ing In the past. It goes without Bay ing that the other park will soon be an accomplished fact. Already plans have been outlined and the matter will come up for final action at the regular meeting of the club tomorrow. The plan the ladles have Is to get the city to turn over the block of ground lying just west of tbe pres ent park, and this fall they will start the work by having the place plowed up so as to be ready for planting the grass next spring. Several trees are on It now. which will be suffi cient shade until the new trees which they Intend to plant this fall are large enough for that purpose. It is understood that this plat of around was set aside for park pur poses, and now that the ladies have a little spare time on their hands they see a chance of employing It to good advantage. They appear to think that the matter of doubling the size of the present beautiful city park will be doing something in that line, and no doubt every citizen of the city will agree with them on this matter. KIM0KM1U tiAIXS FOIM'K. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22. Tho cholera continues to Increase rapidly in St. Petersburg. The ef forts of the authorities to stop the sale of liquor between Saturday and Monday and the other preventive measures taken have had but little if any often in check lug the spread of the epidemic, lletween noon of Sunday and. noon of today the mu nicipal hospitals reported 380 cases and 155 deaths, and the addition of the statistics from tho military and suburban hospitals for this same pe riod will swell this total to truly formidable proportions. There are 34 cases of policemen alone In one military hospital. Dis patches received here from three provinces report 48S new cases and el deaths In 24 hours. The police hero todny summarily closed several restaurants that had violated tho order against the sale of spirits. The hospital sltustion has reached a crisis. The Obuchoff hospital, which Is In the center of one of the worst districts, Is turning away pa tients, and the Kalinkln hospital, which was opened September is, al ready ts full. Two new hospitals will be opened Immediately. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22. At noon today the report for the pre ceding 34 hours was 417 new cholera cases and 176 deaths. Thore ts a total of 1S87 cases In various hospitals. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 23. President Roosevelt tonight, follow ing a prolonged conference with the member of the cabinet, prepared and gave out hi reply to Colonel Bryan relative to W. R. Hearst' charge that Governor Haskell, tbe treasurer of the Democratic cam paign committee, bad represented the Standard Oil Interests both In Oblo and Oklahoma. Bryan demanded proof of tbe charges, promising. In the event of their substantiation, that Haskell would be eliminated from the campaign. The president spent almost the entire day in get ting a letter into shape. A rough draft wa prepared this morning and submitted to Secretary Garfield and Postmaster-General Meyer. At 1 o'clock this afternoon all the members of the cabinet now In the city met with the president for a conference on the subject, which lasted until after S o'clock. Two more hours were required to make certain changes before Secre tary Loeb gave it to tbe press. Deem ing the reply too long to be sent by wire. It was forwarded by mail to Bryan at Lincoln, Neb. In brief, the president says he Ig nores so much of the charge as Is dealt with Haskell's relatione while' In Ohio with the Standard Oil com pany, in apite of Its significance. Af ter stating that Haskell was made chairman of tbe platform committee at Denver at Bryan' request and helped to draft tbe platform on which Bryan stands, and later Has kell also wa made treasurer of the national committee at Bryan's re quest, Roosevelt saya In Oklahoma Haskell's relations with the oil com pany Is a matter of the court recorder. Tbe president states that the case of the Prairie oil, which was shown by the disclosures of the Standard Oil company In the Missouri case, is owned by the National Transit com pany, which In turn Is owned by the Standard OH company, where the at torney-general of Oklahoma obtained an injunction against , the Prairie company from building a pipe line into Oklahoma while Haskell was at tbe Denver convention this summer. On his return to Oklahoma Haskell petitioned for a dissolution of an in junction on the grounds that the act ing governor aud attorney-general had no authority to secure It in his absence and that the action by the Judge of the lower court was "en croachment by Judiciary." Roosevelt asks Bryan to contrast his (Bryan's) actionB regarding the Foraker matter. The president says with much less direct evidence against him than there is against Haskell, Taft refused to form any sort of an alliance with Foraker, notwithstanding Taft was informed that his failure to do so would pre vent his own advancement. With a hundredfold clearer evidence against htm, says the president, Bryan se cured Haskell as chairman of the platform committee. The president, proceeding, declared that Haskell's unfitness for public trust Is abund antly shown, irrespective of his ac tions in connection with the Standard Oil interests. The president says that, passing over Haskell's veto of the child la bor law, that his name appears as one of the defendants in various suits brought by the government to prevent Creek Indians from being defranded of part of their lands. He calls at tention to "prostituting to base pur poses of the state university as set forth in an article In "Outlook" last September and quotes at length from this article as evidence that Haskell is guilty of a breach of trust, ine article is bitter In the arraignment of Haskell, In which a danger of put ting the party in power is suggested, It that party Is actuated by the same spirit as has actuated Democratic au thorities in Oklahoma. It charges Haskell with repudiating Cleveland's motto. "Public office is a public trust." Roosevelt says for several years he has been fighting In the interests of the public to gain control over bus iness combinations, but he has been as much hampered by the extremists who advocate radical legislation as he has by reactionists. The presi dent sas he holds It entirely natur al for great law-defying corporations to wish Bryan's election rather than Tnft's, because Bryan's plans to put a atop to abuses of this character are wholly chimerical. The president then qSiotes at length from Governor Hughes' Youngstown address. In which Hughes analysed at length Bryan's recent plan for the control of trusts. The president concluded by saying that no law-defying corporations have anything to fear from Bryan except that It will suffer in a general paralysis of business which any at tempt of Bryan's to reduce to prac tice what he has advocated would bring. This paralysis would be a paralysis which would affect the wage-workers, , farmers and small business men more than it would af fect great business men. itffllfill! is the only way one :au rightlv express credit buying.

You are compelled to answer the man who buys today and pays when it suits him. You would like to shut him off, but you are afraid to do it. He won't pay his old bill and on you go, you tie up all the money you have, all you can borrow, stand all the wholesale men off you can and finally go busted. Sell for cash, sell for less profit, get your money and make friends. It's a cold-blooded pro position and Shortie Oarnett has no more goods to sell on credit; if you have the money we can save you money, if you want credit you will have to go to a credit store.
