The publisher of the Morning Mai makes affidavit
that ihe number of bona fide paid subscribers to the Mai
in ..Medford is 531. The Tribune manager recent!
made an affidavit of its average circulation of ifio for
October in response, to a reiiuest from an advertiser. Its
books are open to anyone for verification of his state
ment.
The Mail's affidavit is not complete. The publisher
does not state his total circulation, where it is distributed
how liiuch is paid, or comply with the usual requirements
He does not state how long the 'M is the average for.
In one wav the Mail has had paid city circulation
in Medford. Shorty Hamilton paid for 300 copies daily
(luring tne water iignt. J ins class ot circulation was
classed as "special sales" in The Tribune affidavit and
excluded, from the count.
The Mail may print and circulate 5H1 copies in Med
font but it's a sudden acquisition if it does. The distri
liiuuouof a, large number' of free copies to people who
never subscribed has been a feature of the Mail's circula
tion since its initial number. When the Mail's press was
broken down a few days ago, and its edition run off on
The .Tribune's press, but 5() papers all told, were printed
Ihe Mail insinuates that those subscribers The Tri
nunc acquired tnrougJi llie automobile contest are nol
worth having, and looks in holy horror upon the offer of
circulation prizes. In this it plays the pharisee and hypo
crite, tor since its inception the Mail has had small boy
out soliciting subscribers for the sake of a prize sonic
times a tislnng oiitlit, sometimes something else and
small hoys are today asking people to subscribe in orde
that tiicy may win some cheap skate premium.
-To swear falsely to newspaper circulation is to commit
perjury, just as much as it; is to swear falsely to a land
entry. Immunity baths may not be required for circulation
liars, to escape punishment, but there ought to be some
penalty provided for those who think so little of honoi
that they will barter it away to secure a business advantage
PEUSOXAL II OX OR AT STAKE.
Senator Pulton has shocked the nation by predicting,
in an interview at Washington, that the republican legis
lators ot Oregon will not keep faith with the people, but
will elect a republican United States senator instead of
the popular choice, lie also intimates that he will be the
"child of the broken pledge."
Senator Fulton may have good grounds for believing
tliat there are enough legislators so blunted in honor that
they will repudiate their promises for the sake of par
tisanship, but there is no apparent justification, for this
belief. I here is no reason for supposing that legislator
will be tray their constituents for the sake of seating Mr
Fulton or any other person.
The men who subscribed to Statement No. 1 and were
elected upon it, must keep tlmir pledge or be accounted dis
nonorahle men. No amount of argument, no citations of
technicalities, no legal subterfuge, justify breaking pledges
to .men ot honor.
,AVhen a legislator signed Statement No. 1, agreeing
to vte for popular choice for senator, mil fought and
Penned elect ir upon Str.tci cut No. 1, lpssc'nim promise
registered in his own handwriting at Salem, is morally
binding and as a man of honor he will vote as lie promised
to.
Senator Fulton, rejected by the people, may shout,
striving vainly to secure by dishonor what he lost; in an
honest fight; the political machine, which never had any
honor, may noisily clamor for partisan advantage through
dishonor; the Portland Oregonian and other partisan pa-
peis ma snout, unconstitutionality, and raise other
cheap subterfuges, to justify their campaign of dishonor,
but none of them, nor all of them, relieve the Statement
Xo. 1. man from the solemn obligation he owes the people
and with him it is merelv a onestion. not of iwn-f bum ml-
vantage, but of personal honor. He must keep the faith.
A SYCOPHANT REBUKED.
At a recent dinner given at the Pilgrim's club in honor
of Alfred Harmsworth, the English publisher, Oeorge
Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, the lickspittle of the
predatory rich, spoke of the millionaires at the banquet
and those of their class as the men "who made America
what it is," and asserted that if 10,000 such men were tak
en out of the country, the nation would fall to pieces.
This brought forth a reply from Arthur Brisbane, the
brilliant editor of the Evening Journal, who pleaded for
the common people as follows:
? Colonel Harr-iy say that if you take tin thousand mill out of this
country the ablest ti-n thousand tho country will fall to dcees. lie might
aa well any that if y.iu take tea ajiples off a trie, the tn-u will wither
and fall. Not a bit of it. You men with money and power are the pretty,
shiny n,lia on the tree. The sunlight, the warmth, the praise, ire fur
you, but you are ooly the passing fruit. The tree is the thick 'trunk,
The real pnwer ia with those roots hidden in the anil.
"And in thii nation, the real pow.-r, the root of the nation, ia the maun
ot tne people too often, like the tree 'a motj, hidden below in the dark and
the cold. But from those routs, from the people, eoini-a all the real power.
'"And when this nation, and you prosperous men, fa'.e a perilous situa
tion, as you have done in the pair, and you will do in the future, you
will find the man to help you and to save you, pot at this table, not at

"It will always be ia: the force is in the people. The strength of the
soup is at the bottom of the Kiline liquid, not in the pretty, greasy, bub

"There are big men in the Tnite 1 States waiting for the reward worthy
of their great ability, greater than any of the men wo have been talking
about or looking at k-re. These truly great men have never had a bnnk
account, not even a certificate ef deposit: but they are the American na
