Q BLIND SENATOR DISCUSSES ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma Regretted That He Could Not Visit Roguo Riv er Valley Talks to Voters of South ern Oregon Through The Tribune. 'Hon. Thomas P. Gore, the "blind orator," United States senator from Oklahoma, passed through Med ford Sun day on his way south to fill engage ments throughout California, and it is to be regretted that it was not possi ble to have him speak in Mod ford ns he did in Rosebnrg. Hy the hanny coin cidences of events, Se it n't or Fore has been thrown into the polil icnl arena this year. He is a firm believer in the guaranty of bank deposits, and his words carry weight owing tit the fact thai he is- from a state that has tried out the new law. Mr. Gore speaks with n fervor and distinctness that carries conviction. He has a knack of making one believe what he says, aud enthusiasm he can awak en that intense enthusiasm that is the chief asset of a great speaker, even when enrrying on a casual conversa tion. Mr. Gore was found resting in his Pullman berth attending to some cor respondence, which he swept to one side when nsked for a few moments of his time in which to tender to I he voters of sunt hern Oregon, t li rough The Tri Itune, his message. Wanted to Stop Over. " 1 'm sorry, very sorry," said .Mr. Gore, ' ' t hat I have not t he opport u nitv to stop over in Med ford ami learn more of southern Oregon. I know the Rogue Itiver valley in a way that is distinct. Vour senator, Jonathan Hourne, presented me, last fall, wit h an eh-gaiit basket of pears, and since that t ime I have often thought of far away Oregon ami where that del ions fruit is found. "Oregon is a wonderful state, he continued, "and the eyes of the nation turned this wav when the voters of this commonwealth took matters in their own hands and chose n 'senator to rep resent t hem in I be Pin ted Stales sen ate. Yours is ' certainlv u wonderful state. ' ' The Bank Guaranty Law. After speaking of Oregon. Senator Gore plunged directly into t he heart of the issues of the campaign. Speak ing of the guaranty banking law he said : "In Oklahoma the guarantee of bank. leposits is a success, and neighboring states, watching our experiment, have become favorably impressed with the plan. In fact, many Kansas men nre sending money for deposits in our banks knowing even in this age of specula tion that when deposits are guaranteed bv the state thai thev are safe. Money is being taken from hiding places and put into circulation. Oklahoma has led the way in this respect nnd the whole plan is proving of great, benefit in rpbuilding the state. There are no more howling mobs in our state. "Since the plan has been operative four banks have failed. The wtale im medintelv took the matter in hand and there were no long tines of waiting do nositors. When it was convenient the farmers came in and got their money. The argument that it would make dis honest bankers is not tenable, owing to the fact that there are dishonest bankers at the present lime. When voif prevent a loss of confidence yon prevent a panic, and I maintain that Ho; law which prevents panics is n ;dcndid law. Tho Trusts. "What n man earns he should have. What n man has he should earn. This is the fundamental principle underly ing the democrat ic platform, and t he principle upon which our party bases it claims for the votes of the nation, - l'n dor the present system this is impossi ble, for everv one of us is forced to pay revenue to the trusts. We stand against the centralization of either po litical or industrial power in a few hands. In both puses it is destructive t'i human liberty an. I there can be no gainsaying the frn-t that the trusts are the offspring of the republican party. Onr platform defines our position in the matter when it specifies three rem (dies as follows: "'First- A law preventing a dupli cation of directors among competing corporation-; second, a license nvstern which will, without abridging the right of each lnte to create corjiorat ions, or its right to regulate ns it will foreign corporf iiil dn ii business within its limit. !

To Father Van Clurenbeek, or Fill her Van as lie is called in thai affection which finds its expression in dimin utives, belongs the credit for tho work done in this city.

One example will suffice as showing Fat her Van 's wonderful self denial when the interests of his charge in Med ford are nt slake. Not content with giving all of his salary towards t he work, he has leased the priest 's house in order to apply the money to wards t he work, for a period of two years, while he in content to live in a little nhed built at sma'l cost, some MxlO feet in Hize.

The republican plank hi in pi holds that the injunction law be chang ed. The Tariff.

NEW HOIS AM ENDANGERED Reinhart's Bungalow In West Medford Destroyed by Fire-The Department Turns Out in Fast Snaps rite, which was purely the work of n fire bug, completely destroyed the new bungalow of contractur Iteinhart in West Medford late Sunday evening, and endangered several homes in that vicin ity. The bungalow was unoccupied, the fire starling from n pile of newspapers and a gunny sack soaked in kerosine oil, and placed against tho corner of the house. The fire ran up the side of Hie building, catching the roof which was first to burn. Considerable difficulty was encount ered in turning in an alarm. None of the telephone lines in the neighborhood were in use, giving rise immediately to the theory that some one hud cut the lines previous to setting fire to the building. It develops, however, that a house had been moved in that neigh borhood Saturday breaking connections. Department Out in Hurry The fire department responded in a hurr when the alarm finally reached them. The fire team purchased a few weeks ago by council took their places well and made the long run in splendid time. No time was lost in connecting up with the tap on Tenth street and tioil feet of hose was run out. It then developed thai there was hut verv little water with which to fight the flames. Sufficient was had however to keen the flames from spreading. The boys of the fire company lUMpiit ted themselves in splendid shape doing all in their power to check the flames, handicapped as they were by the lack of wafer and the slowness with which the alarm reached them. Of Incendiary Origin Those who were first on the scene were not at loss for Hie origin of the fire. The papers and suck soaked with oil pointed clearly 1o the fact that I he place was deliberately burnt. The place binned slowly and hail there been any water whatever available it could- easily have ben saved. A largo crowd sou gathered home oOO people being present before the flames re checked. Mr. Ifeinhart is at a his regarding the firebug. He stated small amount of insurance on Hie properly. DIVER HAS FIERCE FIGHT WITH DEVIL FISH SAN UAFAKL, Oul., Sept. 28.

C. A". Wetmore, secretary of the com pany, who is here today, tells the story of the fight mndo by the plucky diver. Lund was working in the hold of the wrecked vessel when ho was seized by the tentacle of a devil fish. He slashed at the thing with his knuife and gave the signal to be hoisted. The devil fish had too strong a hold of him, aud he had to signal the helpers to cease their efforts to haul him to the surface be ause his helmet wns giving way. Another tentacle grasped him about t he wa 1st a ml si i II aiiot her about t he neck. Then another grasped him about the egn and he had to fight hard for life.
