GOODBYE TO THE SUMMER.
For the first time there is a tinge of autumn in the air
that makes one realize that the good old summer time is
gone, with its hot sun and sultry noons and the most de
lightful season of the year is upon us.
Autumn in the Rogue River valley is a season of per
fection unsurpassed in the entire world when the sun
has lost his fire, yet retains his gold, and floods the land
in mellow light. There is uu expectant hush in the hills
and a brooding peace in the valleys, in which the lover of
nature "holds communion with her visible forms."
It is a season of calm, of restfulness, of delight, of days
that paint the blue upon the grape and the red upon the
apple nature perfecting her products and making com
plete her work of earlier days. It is a time of cloudless
blue skies, golden days, crimsoned sunsets and still, perfect
Yet one cannot say goodbye to summer without a sigh,
for it is a glorious season, as well set forth by C. I). S.
Wood, the anarchist, in the Pacific Monthly, in the fol
lowing "Song of Summer" none the less delightful lie
cause of the misunderstood anarchy of the author:
"The skies are blue, the leaves are green,
And gaily slants the sun between.
It is a very merry time,
The cherry, berry, heigh-down-deiTy,
Ringing, singing summer time.
The sun makes flowers, the birds make song,
And lovers laugh the whole day long.
It is a very merry time,
I'm glad to breathe; I joy to live;
The summer doth a gladness give.
It is a very nieny time,
This yellow, mellow, kiss your fellow,
Lusty, dusty summer time!"
THE TROLLEY FRANCHISE ELECTION.
Medford is today voting upon a trolley line franchise.
Habitual knockers and interested parties have been ex
ceedingly busy in their opposition to the granting of Un
franchise, while the applicants have done but little work
to secure its passage.
As a matter of fad, a franchise in Medford is of no
value in itself, and not worth any special effort to secure.
Most cities situated as Medford is are glad to give a cash
bonus and grant all other conditions demanded to secure
a trolley line. J f this franchise application is turned down,
before Medford secures a trolley system she will probably
be called upon for a cash bonus, which the citizens will be
glad enough to pay at the time.
One thing must be remembered. The conditions speci
fied in the franchise are those granted in nearly all other
small Oregon towns, and they were passed upon by the
street committee and agreed to unanimously bv the city
council.
If the council is not to be trusted in a franchise appli

(Sacramento bee.)
The fact that the New York World,
whic.i opposed tho nomination of Bryan,
has come out in his favor, is of no
small interest in a political wav. The
World is one of the greatest and able-at
newspapers in the nation, and although
Democratic in principle is not partisan
and ib always independent. Jt has been
opposed to Roosevelt, but chiefly on
purely political grounds, such as what
it regards as his disposition to "usur
pation" and centralization of power at
Washington, and ulso his "jingoism
and imperialism. ' '
In announcing recently that it would
support liryan, the World headed its
editorial, ' ' Democracy versus Pluto
eracy, " treating Taft as a pnppet of the
plutocratic and imperialistic elnsses. It
said, among other tilings:
"Tho Democratic platform and now
ineo am sound in their opposition to
jingoism and ltoosevelt'H war-conjuring
spirit, in their demand for publicity
for campaign contributions and expend
itures, in their repudiation of central
ization through "constructive jurispru
dence, in their hostility to our
wretched, bloody and costly experiment
in imperialism in tho Philippines,
their insistence upon genuine tariff re
form and in their call fur retrench
ment of rock! ens nnd ruinous national
expenditures. On all of these things
the Republican platform nnd candidate
aro either hopelessly wrong or silent
and evasive.
If we dislike irresponsible personal
government, government by denuncia
tion, exeeutivo usurpation and popu
larized war spirit nnd profligacy, we
must havo u real and an effective Dem
ocratic opposition. A strong popular
protest against tho party in power and
a vote of confidence in the principles
and aspirations of Democracy vs. Plu
tocracy. "Regardless of Mr. Taft 'a great abil
ity, wido experienco and engaging per
sonality, ho cannot escape from his po
litical environment. His party is still
the party of protection, privilege and
plutocracy. Practically every trust pro
moter in the country is a Republican;
practically every railroad president is
u Republican; practically every "ruth
lesH malefactor' is a Republican."
The heading of tho World's article
strikes the keynote of tho campaign.
It is emphatically a contest between
Democracy, in tho broadest and most
non partisan sense of the word, nnd
plutocracy as represented by tho great
railroads, tho trusts. Wall street ami
other representatives of syndicated
wealth.
Tho plutocracy is already dangerous
ly well established. To break its clutch
upon the reins of government It is need
ful to turn the Republican party out of
powor. That party has been recreant
to its trust. Tt lias betrayed the inter
ests of the people, nnd has sold itself
tho service of monopoly and privi
lege. At heart it is opposed to Rooso
voltism, Roosovelt lias accomplished
nothing nt Washington in tho wny of
reform save what ho has wrung by main
strength from his party, which virtu
ally repudiated him and his policies in
tho convention which nominated Tnft.
"Shall Tho People rule?"
That is tho question.
REPUBLICANS AND MONEY
(Collier's Weekly.)
The election and subsequent doMh of
Mr. Taft wool! mean the oceiip.iev of
the White House by d.i official fa fryer
who has during several years past -proaehed,
with deferei.tial hat in linn i,
the president or trensi rer of ms; of
the large corporations ( f the country
It was in the course of this official
function that Sherman was profanely
turned down by Mr. Ilarrlman, with
bitter denunciation of the Republican
party and reeking messages for tho head
of that party, that the party and the
head of it had not been grateful for the
.f'jnn.OiHl which Mr. Hnrrimnn collected
and gave in 1 404 . Penrose, as one of the
executive committee of nine which is
to do the actunl work of the Republican
campaign, is an error of taste nnd judg
ment, but not a groat deal worse. With
T. Coleman Du Pont of Peleware, how
ever, t lie case d i f f ers. A mong the
combinations now being prosecuted by
the federal government is that aggrega
tion of companies known as the powder
triHt. Mr. Du Punt is president of the
t"0,0tm,00i Du Pont Powder company,
president of the $.il,0rtu,000 Internation
al Powder company, director of the Tn
teruntional Smokeless Powder company,
and vice president of the holding com
pany, the Delewnre Securities company.
which owns the majority of the stock of
the l.nflin A Rand Powder company.
Suppiwe that Mr. Tnft, being successful
dionld be approached by Mr. Du Pont
thus: "I am one of the ten men.
eluding chairman Hitchcock, who have
put yon over the plate. 1 don't want to
be reminding you continually of the ob
ligation; there is one small piece of
patronage I should like, nnd I shnn t
speak to vou about pa iron a go again dur
ing vonr administration. There is n
deserving young friend of mine whom
I should like to have appointed to the J
position lately held by Mr. Purdy, in j
charge of thnt bureau of the department
of justice which is seeking to break up!
my company, deprive me of some of my j
property, nnd declare me a violator of I
the law. "

"Something which is of vonuid arable
intvnm to tb public generally aid
which is perhaps not generally known
is the system of prepaid orders now in
effect between stations of the Southern
Pacific company and all points in the
United fcitatt-a. By means of this system
tickets may be purchased at Medford
from any place in the United States and
mailed or telegraphed direct to tho

may also be forwarded at the same
