y h "i BRYAN'S PLACE IX HISTORY. . '.'
Bv tlie time this is read the people of America will
have decided who will lie the next president. - The election
means more to Ta ft t lian to "Bryan. Willioiit success Tuft
will not bereiucmhcrcd in history, while Bryan's 1 dace is
assured. Twice defeated by Mlliam McK'mley, he lian
influenced Hie nation far more and has a higher niche in
the temple of fame than his victorious compel it or. ' . , M
15'ryau will live as one of the most remarkable, perhaps
(he niost remarkable men of this age. Poor and unaided,
wlu'le vet a young man he snatched the leadership of a
natignai party by the genius of his personality and,'despite
defeat,;1 lie has maintained this leadership, without power
of office or wealth, occupying a place in the hearts of his
countrymen that no has ever before filled at home be
loved, abroad acknowledged the greatest American.
j1' Speaking of Bryan, one Wiljiam Allen White; a parti
san republican, who is not at all in sympathy with Ihe
(oinmoner, writes in Collier's as follows: 1
;"ln the years that have passed since that day of tri
umph, twelve years ago in Chicago, the face of the young
man has grown more rugged. The hair has worn from his
forehead. Lines of care have marked his kindly face.
Maturity has stamped him indelibly. Hut his skin still is
clear, and seems to reflect in some occult way an honest
soul ; his mouth is the mouth of a t rut li ful man. 1 lis coun
tenance is not scarred with the corroding knowledge that
he has betrayed his faith, lie is untainted and unspoiled,
"i;d his illusions still keep him gc'ntle and patient and
brave.
" Tn a dozen years he has lived to see his protest against
the iiieipiities of the distribution of the wealth of the peo
ple? become eminently respectable. I n another dozen years,
wh'n hi; is still a hale young man of ((, he may see many
demands of this Denver platform enacted into the law of
his land. Moses gave the law, but he did not enter the
promised laud. And Mr. Hryan, the unchanged Mr. Bryan
of '!)(, is none the less a real force in American affairs, no
matter how the election may tjirn out. For he has been one
of .-the instruments used by Providence in bringing the
people out of the wilderness of crass materialism into a
wider, fairer view of life, as reflected in the laws and cus
toms of the people. He lias done what h uld, and has
done it always with an honest heart and a directness of
purpose that may never be counterfeited by charlatans.
And whatever material rewards may pass him, his place
in the hislorv of these t imes ma v not be gainsaid."
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR OF LIFE.
''City and domestic fountains will reallv become the
founts of perpetual youth: the babies will reach out their
tiny hands for it.; the children will cry for it ; the young
man and maiden will make the welkin ring for, joy in their
exuberance, from these health-giving libations the aged
will again wear the flush of health on their hitherto faded
cheeks; the landscape will be transformed into a veritable
garden of Kden ; Medford will become the commercial
metropolis, the hive of industry, the seat of learning, the
conservatory of music and the home of the arts."
No. gentle Header, this is not a Castoria ad, nor a syrup
of figs ad, nor a Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people
ad. though it reads very much like every one of them. Nor
is it descriptive of the universal benefits conferred on
suffering humanity by Dr. liodiac's celebrated elixir for
lost manhood, or that restorer of lost youth, Dr. Hun
kuin's brilliant buttons, or that universal radiator of erad
ication, Dr. Sparkler's electric cinch. II might be illus
trative of the wonderful effects of l.ydia I'inkliam's vege
table compound or wine of eardui, or Mother Winslow's
soothing 'syrup or baby's friend; but it isn't.
This magic panacea, so litteringly described that it
makes you long to take a golden globule, that combines in
one marvelous, magic, mysterious concoction all the virtues
of all the nostrums this wonder working miracle, is Dr.
Hamilton's celebrated l-'ish lake ditch water, guaranteed
to grow hair upon a bald head, make the lame walk, the
blind see. the deaf hear ami age turn to youth. The testi
monial is from the facile pen of.l. S. Howard and is proof
enough of the effects it acts directly on the brain. Hear
ing it. Police de Leon rolls heavily in his grave, knowing
that he sought in vain the swamps of Florida for the foun
tain of perpetual youth, when he should have meandered
among the tides of Fish lake. The saints whose shrines
have performed miracles of healing, will now ipiit business-
what's the use?
.Wasson springs' watershed had a strange effect upon
Editor Bliton. It made a wheelbarrow look like a pile of
lumber, and the next day the pile of lumber turned out to
be a wheelbarrow. Hamilton's elixir of life has a still
stranger effect upon Mr. Howard. It has turned on his
spigot of poetry and a fountain of hyperbole splutters
forth, li it has this effect 141011 such a sober, reliable
' ' THE Till 111 'XE Til EX AXJJ XO IF."
, 'The Mail .quotes the Tribune's article of September
10-descriptive of a visit to Wasson canyon and the north
fork of Little Butte, which contrasted the two proposi
tions in favor of the latter as an authoritative settlement
of the water problem. It was, between the two propositions,
which were the only ones considered in the article. 1
'Between Wasson canyon, with its inefficient supply
and Little Butte, no one with horse sense would have chosen
Wasson canyon. Yet the Mail, and the majority of the
water committee, tried for months to force Wasson canyon
upon the city. The Mail pronounced for Wasson canyon
in spile of all objections, over the Fish lake proposition,
and diil not switch until the Wasson canyon proposition
Was withdrawn.
. The Tribune has never advocated Little Butte water
oyer that of Little Applegate, Big Butte or Rogue river.
It championed Little Butte only in comparison with Was
son canyon, it has printed the arguments for all the water
propositions.
. The party that visited Wasson canyon last Septem
ber did not go further up the Little Butte than Hartley's
ford. "Consequently whatever remarks were made result
ant from that trip were made in ignorance of the condi
tions at Fish lake which is a shallow pond, flooding
meadows and forest, full of submerged and dead trees,
brush and titles, and the water from which, in summer
time, must be filtered to be pure. Such at least is the
opinion of Dr. E. B. Pickel, member of the state board of
health.
As the water from either Hogue river or Fish lake will
have to he filtered, it is up to the people to say upon Thurs
' ty which system they prefer, and that one should be the
one which will niea-n the most for the growth and develop
ment of thecitv and count rv.
'r Mr. Hamilton does not deny that the Fishcake Water
company has given an option on its holdings, neither does
he deny that the company-has been trying to sell out for
years..
