; ' SPEND J NG MONEY AT HOME.
One of our exchanges lias discovered ten good reasons
.w it i the host Dolicv to imtronize tlio local business men,
and these reasons will apply to Medford as well as any oth
er town. ,
; Because You can examine your purchase and are as
onvvl nf satisfaction before investing your money.
UnPiuisc Your home merchant is always ready and
,viiim,r to make rielil any error or any defective article
!is('d of him.
'. Because "When you are sick or for any reason itjs
necessary for you to ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could von ask it of a mail order house?
Because Tf a merchant is willing to extend you credit,
vou should L'ive him the benefit of your cash trade. ,
Because Your home merchant pays local taxes and
exerts every effort to build and better your market, thus
increasiiiK the values of both city and country property.
Because The mail order merchant does not lighten
your tax or in any way help the value of your property.
Because The mail order merchant. does nothing for
the benefit of markets or real est ale values.
Because "If your town is good enough to live in it
is good enough to spend your money in." Governor Folk
of Missouri.
Because? The best citizens in your community pat
ronize home industry. "Why not be one of the best citizens?
Because Tf you will give your home merchant an op
portunity. to compete, by bringing your order to him in
cplantities you buy out of town, he will demonstrate that,
quality considered, he will save you money.
" And while on this subject The Tribune might give ten
reasons just as good why the business man should, in
turn, buy everything he can get at home, his printing, for
instance. Too many order stationery and supplies from
the cast, when they can save a few cents a thousand on a
big order, notwithstanding that the local printing office
is an industry that employs labor find adds its share to the
prosperity of the community.
THE NEED FOR BUY AN.
' The panic of 1!)()7 was unnecessary, a premeditated
crash brought on by the predatory rich to drain the sav
ings of the multitude, to enable the big financial fish to
swallow the small fry. and to bring into popular disfavor
the law enforcement policies of Roosevelt, which t hey open
ly blamed as the cause of the stringency.
v Times were never so prosperous in America as last
autumn. Crops were large, prices high, factories running
full blast, railroads blocked with business. Suddenly and
without warning, Wall street, having secured the money
of the country, locked up its banks and refused to pay it
out, and the panic was on.
The Rockefeller-Morgan combination dominates the
entire financial situation. It is swallowing the smaller
fry. The Goulds, the Yandcrbilts, Morse and lleinc, all
opposition is being absorbed. A handful of men control
American industry.
This plutocratic oligarchy, which has been made possl
hie by special legislation, is trying to elect Taft, that it
may continue its program of plunder, of swallowing the
nation without interruption. "Wealth filched from the pro
duccrs has furnished a huge slush fund. Partisanship
is depended upon to keep the foul voters in line, as it has
kept Roosevelt, who is now shouting for those things he
has fought fur four years, and helping those who blocked
his reform policies in congress.
Against this combination of the criminal rich, and of
blind partisanship, Mryan is waging a most remarkable
battle a fight that stamps him as the greatest cainpaignei
the world has ever seen as well as one of its greatest men
The need of the nation is for Bryan the greed for Taft.
J lie popular drift is toward Brvan everywhere. 'Will
corruption money be able. to dam the Bryan tide?
if it is a landslide, as it now seems probable.
Xot
wooden stave pipe.
"Wooden stave pipe is not worthy of eoiKsiderat ion, for
a water system. The water soaks into (lie wood, making
itsoftand elastic, if. gives under pressure, leaks and breaks.
Along the line of a wood pipeline with such pressure as
it will have under either of the Butte creek systems, their
would be miles of froggeries .and snipe grounds. There
will be constant leakage. If you want to know, write to
the people of Salem or the newspapers of that city and
educate yourself before vou invest over a quarter million
of public money in miles of wood to be buried underground
and leak, break and rot.
The manufacture of wood pipe is n very profitable
business. It is estimated that at the prices charged the
profit is 100 per cent. Mr. Hamilton says that Mr. Vin
cent and the Redwood Manufacturing company are behind !",," '"'""' '"'"j
him. Sure, Mike. They want the job to put in the pipe, '5
and Mr. Vincent is a member of the Fish Lake Water com- ig
I au
pany and the Redwood Manufacturing company. ThejS
Fish Lake company will undoubtedly share in the profits
of constructing the pipeline and will get more than $15,000
for their water.
How much will the profits be, and how will the same
Ue divided?
What in the way of legal indemnity will lie provided
the city if the Hamilton proposition is accepted, against
litigation over this water?

NASH QAbE
What Papers Say
BOOHEVBLT, TAPT,
THEN MORE ROOSEVELT
(.Vow York 8un, ItVp.)
Now coin oil Mr. NleliolfiH Lungwort)),
Hon-iii-luw of the great autocrat, and in
a speech dclivonil at Bock Inland, 111.,
announces to his countrymen that after
Mr. Tuft Bliull hnvo hud eight years
to "clinch my policies "clinch' is
Mr. Tnft'a terra Mr. Roosevelt will
return, like Napoleon from Klba or like
ChnrleH tho Hecond after Cromwell, and
the full restoration of tho Roosevelt
regime will take place.
J A more unfortunate, ntutcment has
not yet been made hit his cauvnHH, and
if it attracts tho general attention
which it dcHervi'H it is not unlikely to
make Mr, Lougworth tho Hurchard of
the campaign. It b won known that
Mr. Roosevelt, in graciously permitting
tho American people to select bis sue
ccHKor providing always that it was
Mr. Taft or himself had said to inti
mate friends that while bo could no
longer servo his faithful people for the
next four yearH and would change Iub
work of multiplying bears into tho do
struct ion of liontt, yot at tho end of
four years his faithful people- could
reasonably expect his triumphant re
entry into the nceno of his former
achievements. .It is apparent from Mr,
Lougworth's statoment that this expec
tation is enjoyed not only by tho inner
circle of Mr. Roosevelt's friends, but
also by his immediate family, and it
is unreasonable to suppose that Mr.
Lougworth would havo nominated Iiib
august father-in-law for re-election
fight years hence if ho believed that
such suggestion was other than agree
able to Mr. Roosevelt.
Tho American people are not dis
posed to turn their most exalted office
into a morry-gn round in which presi
dent shall mutually help each other to
rotate in office. Notwithstanding Mr.
Taft b exceptionally useful record
1 public servant and his captivating
'uinlities as a man, tho American poo
file havo looked askance nt tho manner
in which his nomination wns secured,
To them it was an unwelcome spectacle
that a president by tho most open, fla
grant and shameless uso of federal
tatronage and executive power should
force the nomination of his successor,
and they certainly will not welcomo a
suggest ion which would seem to imply
that Mr. Taft, at tho end of four or
night years shall use his influence ns
president to havo his predecessor sue
coed him.
CANNON AND TAFT.
Tho public.)
Cannon cannot be separated from
Taft. Voters in Canuitn's district may
possibly distinguish between them, but
elsewhere a, vote for Taft for president
in an approving vote for Cannon for
speaker.
And what does that mean? Tt menus
that, the house of lepresentutives.
through which the people must rule if
they are to rule, has come under the
control of one pnrtyMr. Tuffs. It
means further that Mr. Taft'B party
in the houso has come under tho con
trol of one fact ion of Mr. Taft 'a party
the Cannon faction!, which Mr. Taft
has not condemned. It means further
still that Mr. Cannon's faction of Mr.
Tuft's party in the house lias come un
der the control of one committee, which
is appointed by the rpenker tho head
of Mr. Cannon" n faction of Mr. Toft's
tarty in the houso. It menus besides
that the committee which the speaker
appoints is controlled by the speaker,
who is Mr. (Tiunon. Summing it all
up, Mr. Cnnuon is the houso of rep
resentatives. Although a republican of his dis
trict may possibly protest academically
against Cannon while voting for Taft.
no republican anywhere else can pro
test effectively except by voting
against Taft. Taffs election would be
Cannon 's vindication.

signs of this character about Medford. We
always find a desiraWe tenant before a good
building has been "to let" more than 24
hours, and land owners know we can always
find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the homeseeker as being
"under the hammer."' This is as it should
be.
