THK I'IIKSIDKNT'8 STATK.MK.NT. President Roosevelt's contribution to the present phase of the campaign is as timely as It is energetic, says an exchange. Possibly Mr. Taft night have preferred In the present circumstances to have his year-old letter kept in concealment. But Mr. Roosevelt Is not supersensitive In the same degree and the public will thank him for making plain Mr. Taft'a position. Nothing has happened since the national conventions met that has created as much of a sensation as the attack upon Foraker, Haskell and. the others. It Is not certain that it will have any effect upon the national contest. . If It does have any it should be, as President Roose velt Indicates, to strengthen the candidacy of Mr. Taft. The President had previously given good reasons why William H. Taft should have the confidence of the American people. He adds forcibly to that testimony. The time has come In American affairs when there must be an end to the influ ences that have been powerful in politics. .Mr Taft typifies the char acter of the men who must bring about (ho reform. It Is the silf-ronfessed purpose of the man who preferred the charges and produced the letters to Injure both of the great parties In the In terest of Ills own political organiza tion. But It Is beyond his power to direct the force of the blow. The Intelligent American electorate will analyze tho case and the evidence and each Individual voter will de ride for himself what Is best to be done about it. President turns on additional light. He gives needed information This will .count for more than even bis vigorous opinion. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) make the statement that Medford la the best town of lta slse his show has ever performed in, excepting Bone, and that the Rogue River val ley is the most prolific and product ive fruit country he has ever seen. This Is a broad statement, and, com ing from a man who haa a world or knowledge and experience at his command; one who haa been In al most every clime under the sun, and who knows every nook and corner of the United States aa a' schoolboy nmroan, aoooar M. is an important matter in the transaction of business. Busi neas men realize the conveni ence and time-saving afforded in paying by check. A eheck account with the Jackson County Bank gives you the advantage of prompt and ob liging service.
