To Medford" si.-t.-r .-itii-s A.-l.laml and (rants I 'ass
the wires liave l.roulit -'ood news. On .June ' in ea-li of
these eoniniunitie, the po-ta! H-rvi'-e will In- materially
improved ly having a free mail delivery r-ervi.e insti
tuted. One seaiihe.- in vain for a mention of Mi-dfoid
in this connection. Medford. famed for her j.ror rs.-iv,-ness.,
enthusiasm, ein-ryy and lur spirit tin- spirit which
builds up cities and makes I hem famous- has been out
stripped. And most bitter of all i. the realisation that we
have no one to blame but ourselves.
Medford has wanted many things. She has asked for
them, worked for them, and received them. And yet. with
the largest postal receipts in any city west of the Kocky
mountains without a free earl ier service, and for the lack
of some three days' work, her citizens still wend their way
to the postoffrce for their mail, as they did when Postmas
ter Howard found room for Med ford's mail in a cracker
box set upon a post in the sagebrush. For nearly two
years Medford lias been entitled to a carrier service. She
lias known id' the requirements. Attempt- to get the streets
named and houses numbered have been made. Vet 'here
have been no results. And now Medford can lian her
head, while Grants I'ass and Ashland are proud in the
knowledge that they have taken one more step toward
civic betterment.
This is not an occasion for envy, jealousy or regret.
Jt is simply a matter of shame, which should spur the city
on, nor rest allow, until Medford has secured what is her
due. Whatever the reasons have been in the past for de
lay, whatever the stumbling blocks have been which have
so successfully blocked results in this connection civic
pride should now rise in its might and refuse henceforth to
be thwarted.
This is an occasion whi n every good citizen id' Med
ford should help to focus and foster public indignation
against such a state of affairs. The man who would not
he righteously chagrined under these circumstances must
be a pretty pour specimen of a Medfordile and every
Medfordite is supposed to be a luosli r. And the booster
who would not arise in wrath at this flaw in Medford 's rep
utation as a live city, should be left hereafter serene and
solitary in the enjoyment of his personal
" pining at rophy,
Marasmus, and wide-wasting pestilence."
