Tonight, at the Medford opera house at 10 o'clock the Tribune's great auto mobile contest ends. All votes must be in nt this hour. The awards are out of the hands of the Tribune and its staff, and in the bunds of well known Mcdford citizens, whose names are a guarantee of a sipiare deal, who have the keys to the ballot box and will do the counting. The contest is the most ambitious ever attempted in a city the size of Mcdford by a paper the size of this one. The prizes offered are the most valuable that any paper on the coast outside of the larger cities ever gave. Tho contest is on the siuare, and the competition genuine. The Tribune is here to stay. The rapidity of its growth depends upon the rapidity of Mcdford 's and the Kogue Iliver valley's development, and the patronage extended by the commu nity. If enterprise and progress merit, patronage, the Tribune's growth will be uusurpsased in Oregon, anil the Kogue Itiver oruntry soon boast of the best newspaper in Oregon outside of Portland.

In what ages, please? in all ages where climen have qualified pooch nud where art has found place and meaning in tho economy of char acter and of life. All festooned Edens, all isles of promise, and all dream-ships appearing on the violet bosoms of shoreless dawn seas are but the bud and bloom of mine sequent faith which bears with vigor on toward maturity; while in and through it all is soon to move life dramas comprehending pas sion scenes, heroic action and best high applause. All Life Is Drama. All life is drama and tragedy having meaning in the direction of the econ omic adjustment of customs, habits and manners! to the end that morals find placo and sanction through a natural process of purification, and that bal ance be given governments in experi mental singe of development. All prog ress, therefore, is comprehended in drama ami tragedy, and also in the lighter branch of stage-art (farce-coin-cdy) through expression, manifold and variant, and receiving interpretation of genius; and he only is academic whose cnaracier is sut ticleatly composite to "mime l to penetrate to the "inner circle" of the Karma, deinaterialize his own substantial "self." discover the unwritten testimony of dead ages and, by means of splendid diction nud nroocr emphasis and inflection with set and with ensemble reproduce upon art stage life histories throneh which are to pass in uneiirtniiicd review men woi i of different, mold, who have left the impress of their deeds on ,,, llinent. and mound, an, I whose life ;. spent in the midst of events i -owds. Right of tho Actor. Wherever phases of history sum per iods of time there empires ' blood sign ' annals with a purchased moral which is boll, a testimony and a period to the conflict through which man passed; and if in any degree it. be right of the historian to discover to men the moral, as well as the immoral, result of his actions, then wliv loi ,,.,t ii i.... actor as well worthy a right with the aid of scenery and semblence to ronro- "P"ii ine stage those things that " ' ' "' I destinies and whi,.l, I to ma u 's ronsoioii.siiess h'.'ive upon his mind the impress of a nev er I,, l.c forgot i,. u lesson. ivs one whose name is be "'' down ii ,-ial r , fiitnr "Life is a stage all due. when .la v I in because ,'oiihl men 'em much ome here dor III,- ' i rue, is it mil ; d cycles of history, o lierainiiic kings, temples to the Taj 'Is. fr books . is onlv lies olll foothill. business hours but rclinn in Ih " to their homes in ,im;i.

To prop agato corns and bunions of opposition to such things us are not comprehended in one's own circle of activity and 1; lief is scarcely wise to the end that all things needing correction are corrected. And if the "critic" of any secular movement held to be legitimate along lines ot middle class initiative and pur pose could but be brought to the point of examining that institution in which all his own personal interests are cen tered, he would no doubt, if he wished to appear consistent, first set himself the task of correcting that liary where lay his greatest concern before at tempting to master down all things soever that swing on verbal hinges be yond the immediate reach of his voice and authority. Quarrel With Conditions. To quarrel with conditions and sharp en one's teeth on prejudice is not to answer conclusively nbiertions raised to formal charges, neither does it stay proceedings in court. Hindi things un accepted pleadings in courts of juris prudence; nor docs it rightly and nec essarily follow that he merits punish ment who is pronounced guilty. The pronouncement: Nome plays and some play actors aro bad; therefore, all plays and nil play actors are bad, will not stand in court of chancery. The moral church and the moral world are not so far apart, if onlv the church could understand the quadrant. The difficulty lies that theology comes in to disturb the normal and to destroy the balance. Men do not quarrel over mathematical certainties. Observe things, unknown quantities, abstract rules these are the things for which men burn their powder. To Portray Human Passions. Whomsoever hath lighted lands with the lamp of reason am harnessed des tiny to morals and given strength to freedom's spirit, and written codes for widening empires, and builded well the halls of learning, titid chiseled grace from coarsen marble nnd thrown earth's dusk lights onto canvas, and caught the star-spark forth from the minerals yea! wh soever hath giv en verbal meaning to life's noblest ac tivities and to all things else having place and meaning in the chemistry of coiiipintniling kingdoms and nations sure ly must, be credited with right to im personation before rapt, tear-eyed as seinblages, ill hulls where wit ami rip ened cull lire lend odor of intellect to talent -breed ing at Unisphere. Ad vised ly within all reasonable bounds this is the I heater's work and province: to re veal man to himself through moving scene and panoramas of life iti whole ami in part. Wherefore, then: Shall ind Ihe "actor" be assigned his part:' the last great epidemic the disease spread from St. Petersburg to the stato of Kansas in two months. "Children as a rule ha'vo the disease 'much Icsb severely than adults. The aged nud poor in health suffer most. La grippe is the cause of more consump tion than all other causes combined. People who livo or sit in badly venti lated or overheated roomB or in crowd ed assemblages, upon going out into the fresh cold air, are often chilled and the disease fololws. "The symptoms of the disease are usually, first, a tired feeling, followed by aneezing and a sense of having taken cold; pain and aching of the body. Con stipation and fever are almost always present. If the bronchial tract or lungs are the seat of the trouble, a tightness of the chest and cough will follow. Tiiis may rapidly lead to hronchities or pnotimonia, and if neglected, consump tion. "If people would avoid la grippe, or at least successfully resist its ravages, it will he necessary for them to work, eat and sleep regularly, to avoid all ex cesses, keep in the open air as much as possible, avoid ovor-heated and bad ly ventilated apartments, keep the how els regular and avoid patent medicines and nostrums, and in a word keep the bodily vigor at its highest possible standard."
