BUSINESS FOLLOWS THE TROLLEY.
Some opposition is expressed to granting a tmniixm
for a " ollcy line on Seven,!, street because it ,s the city
tin business street. As a n.atier of fact, Seventh street
"an only be kept the main thoroughfare by having the
troltay line. . )msim,ss rva.
..:,,,' vn.,...a flu. t,-..ct car lines. To switch the carlines
off onto a side street soon makes the side street the main
street while the former main street gradually deteriorates.

Hundreds of instances can ne iuouu a ........ ...
n..vl,...M-tp business street the trolh-y runs, values
liegin to appreciate and renls to go up. It is worth more
to the nronertv owner, more to the merchant and more to
.mn.-nl nnl.lic to have the stores convenient to trans
portation, and stores will always follow the lines of trans
.,,...,.,,;., Iw..uis4. thev land the purchasers at their .loors.
V franchise in Medford for a trolley line is worthless
I will 1 vears lfore it is worth anything, and
tlien onlv bv the expenditure of tens of thousands of dol
lar. Those who are willing to invest in a trolley hue now
are simplv gambling on the fulure. If anyone wants to
tike this ihaitce. he should W encouraged and everything
rvaisonahle done to assist the enterprise, ev.'ii to the raising
..f a Kiilisidv if necessarv.
li imv U' rtointed out that some day the franchise will
T-,i,,'l,lf. iir.i,ei-tv. It can onlv become such by the
development of ihc country which the trolley will hell
largelv to bring about, and if the investors are willing t
rkt losimr their moiiev. thev are entitled to the apprecia
tion in values resultant upon their own investment.
An interurban trolley line will do more to develop me
Rogue River valley than anything that could be brought
here, except an abundance of pure water. It will do more
to upbuild Medford and make it the hub of the valley than
any one thing, and it is hoped thai 1 lit would-be investors
wiil be given the assistance needed.

NEW SKW Kit SYSTEM SEEDED.
Medford's growth and development have been so rapid
that the city government is well nigh submerged by the
flood of demands for nublic improvement. The city is in
the transition period, when the makeshifts of the village
are giving way to the permanent conveniences of the city,
and all are coming at. once.
A new east iron water disl ribut ing system has just been
finished at a cost of .ffi'i.OOO, and connections must be
made hy every resident with the new pipes. Bonds have
been voted and bids asked lo construct a gravity water sys
tem to bring pure mountain water in abundance to the
city at a cost of sfiflS.OOO. Over a mile of bitnlithic pavement
is being laid on the main business street and six miles of
macadamized Bt reels are to be built this season. Every
where cement walks are being laid, handsome residences
erected, brick busianess blocks under way and schools be
ing constructed and extension and expansion (lie order of
the day. . i Jill
lint as much needed as any single improvement, more
than a garbage incinerator, more even than paved streets,
is a good Hewer system. A new trunk line, with numerous
laterals, is needed anil needed badly. I'Yoni a dozen local
ities comes tlie demand lor extension lar Iteyond llie capac
ity of the present system, rendering necessary a new system
if construction is to continue and the city remain healthy.
No one wants to build a fine residence, or in fact a res
idence of any kind, without sewer connections. So in the
flood of public improvements, the urgent need of sewer ex
tension must not lie lost sight of in this, the metropolis of
Southern Oregon.
(Springfield, Mass., Republican.)
Air. Brvan 's two defeats for the pres
idency have been so much einphasi.ed
in the past that his extraordinary suc
cess iu achieving supremacy within his
own party has not boen suf ficionlly rec
ognized, liis third nomination is quite
tvitlioiit a parallel, at least since the
days of Clay, Successive defeats for
office are usually fatal to political lead
ership iu this cmiutryi and Mr. Bryan
lias had two to contend with, the sec
ond more completo than the first, in
regaining his present mastery of the
democratic parly. It was the universal
belief nfter the presidential election of
1000 that Mr. Bryan's political career
was ended, and (lie belief was solidly
founded upon tho precedents of Amer
ican politics. I-.igth years later wo see
performed what then would hnvcjiccn
regarded as a miracle, Without the
support of n powerful and sympathetic
press, wilhout the favor of the financial
interests, without the sustaining force
of u urent federal administrative ina-
hine, wiUiout tho least encouragement
from the universities of tho laud, with
nit the prestige of successful iidnriuis-
iralive wnrkll, without a large private
lortune, Mr. Bryan, all tho while bear
ing the burden of his previous defeats,
has this week so dominated the national
oiiveutiou of one of the groat historic
pnrtics that from one end of the land
to tho other he is recognized as the par
ly 's absolute master.
How this has been nccomplished will
invito the attention of the historians of
our present era. They will agree.
doubtedly, that Mr. Bryan's personal
achievement could not have be
brought about without the support of
Ihe masses of thi voters who earrv the
democratic name; and that his culiuin
atig convention triumph at llenver,
which has had a much more solid basi
than the speetarulnr and dramatlo trl
