THE TRIBUNE CONTEST.
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.

Yen. 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

to pass in uneiirtniiicd review men

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....

lo object to the theater on the
ground that some theaters, some plays
and some play actors are bad, altliougl
true and trite, is but to reason in i
circle; and brings every pretentious
purist back to the starting post of
his other theological mount. 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

within all reasonable bounds this is the
I heater's work and province: to re

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."
