JOB DISTRICT NO This Coupon, cut out and mailed to the Contest Department, or depos ited in the ballot box at the Tribune Office, will count as one vote for the lady whose name is filled in. , COUPONS SHOULD BE SENT FLAT, NOT ROLLED OR FOLDED Merrily, merrily, merrily the contest rolls -along, each day's votes seeming to increase the interest in each district, although there are' a couple of dis tricts as ' yet from which more votes fhould come. Included in these is No. . including Talent, Phoenix and Ash land, Thero are one or two in this dis trict taking a little intreest, but there Mtould be more interest taken, as the prizes are all valuable and well- worth wfirkiog for. Not Too Late. It is nnt too late to enter your name or that of a friend, as many contests have been won by ladies entering even two weeks before the end, as when any one 'enters at a 1 lato date they know that they have to hustle, and they do, and us a rule they do great hustling and get bettor results out of a couple or throe weeks before the end than oth eis do by working only a short time 4ach day during the full length of the contest, so if you have any desire to win oue of the prize j do not hesitate a w anient about entering your name. Now that the. special offer of 5000 extra votes for six six-months' subsiTip timis is at an end, the eontrat will de velop into a steady grind, which will last until the last day in fact, even until the last hour. Quite a few took advantage of the extra ballot and se cured he FjOOO votes. However, as many (feured these ballots, as was expected, and they were secured throughout the five districts. fniome districts two or three 'ob tained the ballot, and in some districts only one, and as it is possible for five prizes to go to one district, do not be discouraged, even though you were not lueVy enough to secure one of the bal lots, but keep working nil the harder ive who obtained the ballots. Tt was not necessary for the contestants them fttlvon to turn in tjie six six-months' subscriptions, nnd there are a few who only turned in two or three ux months subscriptions whose six have been filled nnt by their friends who suhseribed at this office, Tou Can Win. slake up your mind to this fact and then start out. The result will be sur prising.' Xearlv every candidate made $ a good gain during the past week and 'prmmses to conn n up rne gooa worn. Widespread interest in manifested in the contest by the readers of the Trib une and the Southern Oregonian, and inquiries nre received at this office rtaiiv regarding the different candidates, sad a willingness is expressed on Hip ( part o fniany to assist those of the ! rnntestants who nre working industri-1 tiusly and seem most determined "t owinl out. t To not let any one step in ami grasp; -the prizes from within your reach, but ! show those who have placed coat idence i you that you are in the. contest to ' i stick to the last and will not be beaten! this race. All eyes seem turned upon he first prize, and the contest prom-, es to be verv liveh and hotlv contest- 4 before the end. Pick out a favorite candidate and sist her to finish among the leaders. sibly she will just require your as tance to lie declared the winner of r Keo Roadster, and should she be at fortunate she will tin to ynu to ink for it. The prizes are to be giren away to ienteen ladies, and it is certainly up von to he among the winners; you be there if ynu will only make the rt. There are hundreds of people he territory covered by these two rs who are only waiting for some rprising contestant to come along dmw sufficient interest in the con to atk them for their votes, and at manv of these same people arc that they will nnt (ft tlwir vntfs n until snine one :ikh At them.

S-atfi on talc at H;iikin' IN DEFENSE OF SOCIALISM F. Dundu Todd Fires Hot Shot in F Tor of New Political Creed F. A. 8, Answered Fully and Tgiets of New Faith Bet Forth Plainly. To the Editor: Permit me to confess 1 did not heed the correspondence on Socialism in your paper until my eye caught the letter of F. A. 8. in your issue of January 21, and I regret that 1 am a little handicapped in taking part in it at this stage of the game. Socialism is a philosophy that is held by 35,000,009 of people, mostly in Eu rope, and has not until recently made much progress in this country, but it ia now before it as a live issue and every man- aye, woman must take one side or another at no distant date, fake all great movements in tho history of the human race, many will be influenced by reason, others by prejudice, in deter mining their attitude, and all that in telligent Socialists ask is a conscien tious investigation of the principles of Socalism. If the results are favorable they welcome the convert; if the re verse, they simply express regret. They have no ill-feeling for their opponents, as practically every Socialist today, on account of the infancy of tho move ment, is a convert from tho opposite point of view. What Socialism Is. Socialists do not advocate their phil osophy because they consider they could organise human society on a more de sirable basis than nt , present exists. They urge its consideration because they know, as far as it in possible for human beings to forocast tho future, that.it is inevitable, and they desire that this great impending change ehall not be opposed by violence and blood shed, as has up to date been the habit. They proper the ballot to the bullet. Wo all know how much misery was in flicted in this country by the resistance to the inevitable freeing of the slave, ao if Socialists can prevent the recurrence of such an awful calamity when in the fullness , of . time . economic, conditions necessitate a new form of organisation of society, then by that alone it will have proved itself the greatest bene factor that man has ever seen. i Socialism is fundamentally an econ omic proposition; it concerns itself with the very neeessary interests of food, clothing and shelter. We all need these, and since they are produced bv work and work only. Socialists Insist that the product of. work -should go to the worker. They demand that making, not taking, shall determine ownership., It. is wrtainly a- just proposition and I have yet failed to meet the man who will freely admit that he conaiders tak tng a fair title to ownership. I know many who acquire proprietorship in that way, but their defense is that it is ac cording to the present rules of the game, which they did not make. Their argu ment is unanswerable. Adversary Is Ignorant..,. F. A. H. is, 1 am afraid, ignorant of Socialism. Very probably he has read what some one not a .Socialist .said it was, hut the only authoritative source is the. platform of the Socialist party defined by the delegates in convention essombled, just iw the principles of the Republican and Democratic parties are supposed to be found in their platforms. Should he decide to take further part in this .controversy let him combat the various. planks lo be found there, and he wjll not need to ereate the various men of straw he so vigorously demol ishes. Knocking down, atraw men is doubtless as exhilarating as laying low imaginary enemies in th form of weeds, a pleasant oceupation indulged in by lit tie ehildren with a stiek. For instance, he aks why labor un ions .repeatedly turn a roll shoulder to the advances of Socialists. Me as sumes here that this is true of all tabor unions, but it is so only in this conn trv. anil not even entirelv true at that. Socialism nnd unionism on the eontt- nent of Knrope arc practically one and the .vame thing, and this is fast becom j ing true of Great Mritain. What is the matt T with the unions in this rohntry?. They are jdst like F. A. S.. bnt both) ivill get over it. So much for straw man .Vo. 1. ! Produrt of Workshop. ! It is possible s-itne Kolialist writer in this iion t rove rsy said farmers were enthusiastically in favor of Socialism, bnt I doubt it. There is undoubtedly a de.-Lbd tendei.ey in that direction with a few . I know (f a numleT in this, Mfl!. but if F. A. S. knew even the i eh men) of Socialism he would not mip I m.i- that Socialists at pre .en! ;mc en t " ot.t t he rush of fanners to tl:rir rink. Socialism is the product of t!,. workshop nnd the factory -not of the fi.rm. If oulv F. A.

Kxcellent logic not a flaw anywhere I must really compliment F. A. iv on his deduct ivo powers. . But, alas! alas! his premises are wrong; he has made an error of judgment. Too bad that his perfect logic should fall to the grouud. No Socialist platform ever recommended the state should take verything. And so vanishes nnothor straw man. Christianity's Connection. What has Christianity got to do with Socialism t At one time 1 would read ily have answered, Not a thing, as one dealt with belief and the other with such every day things as food, clothes and houses. But wider study tins shown mo that Christianity was essentially tho beginning of Socialism with, of course, the minor differences due to the stage of development that man had then at tained. It is a fascinating bit of for gotten history, only recently resurrect ed, nnd if F. A. S. knew even the barest facts of that period he would never have triexl to bolster up his case by dragging in Christianity. Lot me rap him out of court sudden. He says, "Christians uphold tho ownership of property and the, safeguarding of woman's estate." This is about the loosest and most care less jumble of words I ever tackled. Note the assumptions: First, christians and Christianity are the same thing. Not by a jugful! Christianity Ls the philos ophy of .lesus Christ; christians well, no one knows just what they are, ex cepting that they are human beings just like F. A. S. and myself. Tenets of Socialism. "Uphold the ownership," certainly, but by whom private individuals or the community, or both, or what! "Of property." What kindt I know that in this country 00 years ago. "christians uphold the (private) own ership of (slave) property," until slaves worn Bet free. Were those christians right? Please, F. A. 8., if you haul Christianity into this discussion, stand pat to your text, for wo can refer to an authoritative source the Now Tes tament but tho human element is too uncurtain. ' ' The safeguarding of woman 's es tate. " Frankly, I don't know what that means. It may refer to material wealth or any old thing, ao I pass it by. - The reference to "mutual consent," I presume, refers to the sexual rotations between man and woman. I always un derstood that in this country the essential- element of matrimony was the ' ' consent ' ' of the parties moat con cerned, that is "mutual consent." With out consent, no marriage. If this prin ciple is all right now, would it not work as well under Socialism f 1 think ao, Special 'When we canie to Medford we found the crying need for a ready-to-wear goods store for ladies, and established such an i n s t i t u tion, with the most gratifying re sults doing new: Corsets and niore than double the amount of business we expected to do. In looking around for goods needed and which ye 'did hot Our Ability to Lower FOUR BIO DISPLAY WINDOWS. OneMore Chance Only, to get a Good Many are looking for tracts to divide. This is by far the best chance at the right price. Don't wait until some other fellow buys this and then scold your wife because you did not seize the opportunity C. H. PIERCE but F. A. S. apparently thinks differ ently. I would like ti know why. Changing Affinities. . "It would not bo a hard matter to change affinities,' " says F. A. 8. Pretty easy now, ain't it! One divorce to every seven marriages in many states is "goin some," I think. Socialism will have to get up and do some tnll hustling to beat the "affinity-chung ing" record that has. been made under this beautiful system we ure now suf fering uuder. It is interesting to be told that he thiuks the present law is too lax, so apparently he does not ob ject to sometimes changing affinities.! I wonder where he would draw tho iiiiCj it is so refreshing to find him among the reformers. If F. A. S. wore wise he would have hidden this straw man in the woodshed it's nasty, and savors too much of Pittsburg, Sow York, etc., these days, and noue of the folks concerned ore Socialists, so far as 1 know. The reference to the apes an igno rant one, by the way I suppose is meant to indicate that F. A. S. rejects the Darwinian theory of evolution. Di rectly, this has nothing to do with So cialism, but the sentence is a wonderful illumination. Jt is tho privilege of F. A. S. to accept or reject anything he pleases, but it is not wisdom to pro claim how little one knows from the housetops.
